Dispelling the Gloom: Examining a Few Healthy Companies
BIG is also a play on a change of administration. A post-election stimulus plan could benefit BIG. Also, there's a large short position in BIG. A change in the White House could mean that the laws against naked short selling may finally be enforced by the SEC.
Agco is another wall-flower. It never gets as much publicity as the more US-oriented Deere. A lot of AG's operations are overseas, which I like. That adds growth potential and international currency diversification (and some considerable risk in this market) to a portfolio.
Total Returns by Country Since March 2003
What's being compared to what here? If the "MSCI World Index Local Currency" index is up 68%, how come the 22 listed components are up far more than 68% on a "total return" basis? Isn't this perhaps a story on currency inflation?
Fill in the gap in the logic here, I am not a mind reader.
AGCO: Combines May Be The Story in 2008
Nobody should buy anything based on a Seeking Alpha post (or a Barrons, Cramer, WSJ, Forbes, Merrill, Goldman or other report/ recommendation) or a gushy press release from corporate management, without doing his/her own due diligence. However, all these sources are good places to pick up ideas to research. Just my opinion.
AGCO: Combines May Be The Story in 2008
I like AG for a several reasons. AG's got good international diversification. AG's more of a pure play on farm equipment. I see a lot of DE logos on construction equipment around here. Construction will be weak for a while. Advantage, AG.
Even with recent price swings, grain prices will likely remain above prior years level, giving farmers plenty of incentives, and cash, to buy equipment. IMHO, AG's a good place to be in the farm sector. As with any ag-stock, the ride will be bumpy.
