What's Potash Worth?
BHP

Good question. One thing is certain: it's worth a lot more than $150 per share. Potash rose $3.33 to $153.00 on Monday at mid-day.
Potash's board unanimously prudently rejected BHP Billiton's (BHP) woeful $130 per share offer. To be sure, BHP wasn't trying to insult POT's board, but a $130 per share bid came close to achieving that ignominiou...

BHP is looking very strong financially and is well placed to ride out the recession. They have no debt, and a great history of profitability (5-yr average RoA 19%, avg net margin 25%). This year's profit won't be as good as last year's record, of course, but BHP is in much better shape than its competition to not only survive the recession, but to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that might arise while the competition is struggling to service their debts. When the economy recovers, BHP will emerge significantly stronger relative to its competitors. Watch for the half...
