With U.S. stocks plunging, here are some Canadian stock picks
AGU
-44.01%
in
500 days
Filed under: Barrick Gold (ABX), Canada, Goldcorp Inc (GG), Commodities, Oil, Agriculture, Stocks to Buy, Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT)  Once again it's ugly out there today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped below 11,000 for the first time in two years, plunging over 2%. The rest of the U.S. stocks are not far behind with both the Nasdaq composite and the S&P 500 down over 2% as well. It's depressing. But you don't have to look far to see a nicer picture, you just have to look up: up north that is.

(closed on 05/20/09)
Filed under: Agriculture, Stocks to Buy  Readers of this space know that my investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models that have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. Moreover, there are few more-favorable global trends than food production, and with the above in mind, Agrium is worth a review.
Agrium (NYSE: AGU) is the No. 1 producer and seller of fertilizers in North America, including nitrogen, as well as potash and phosphate products.
The company has an 8-million-ton nutrient production cap...

Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Wednesday June 18.<>
<>Gassing Up: XTO Energy (XTO), Southwestern Energy (SWN), El Paso (EP), Ultra Petroleum (UPL), Apache (APA), Anadarko (APC), Chesapeake Energy (CHK)<>One mystery on The Street is that big oil names like Exxon have made only paltry gains while oil has risen from $100 to $130 in a heartbeat. Oil companies either are not able to drill more oil or were hedged on the prediction oil would go lower and lost, explained Cramer. But natural gas names, such as XTO Energy, Southwestern Energy, El Paso Ult...

Since my last report back in October 2007, when I highly touted and recommended agricultural equities, particularly Agrium (AGU), my fundamental point of view on this trend has not changed:“The word needs food." <><>The basis of my previous points in that article were to come to a new reality and realization that the “West” is not the only place that will have its steak (it has been for a long time); the people in new developing economies and countries are demanding lifestyle changes in the form of better living conditions, enjoyment of life, and the need for better food (it is not j...

Potash Setting Up to Rally
AGU
-37.04%
in
536 days
Over the past few weeks it seems that volume has slowed on the potash stocks we follow as the share prices have taken a breather. Interest has waned yet share prices have found themselves in a bit of a trading range, especially when one consults a chart of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (POT), The Mosaic Company (MOS) and Agrium Incorporated (AGU). Not much has changed in the past few weeks, and investors understand that the fertilizer stocks will be around for a while. Right now we have some sideways movement, which could soon end.

The Agriculture Bull Keeps Getting Stronger
AGU

The agriculture bull market is in full swing and the prospects for the industry keep growing stronger. Agriculture is entrenched in supporting the basic needs of humans and is vital to the sustainability of a growing population. In fact, 45% of the world's workers are employed in agriculture.
