All Eyes on Belarus

Apparently the entirety of the potash market lies in Belarus, according to the market. Ag chems are rallying today after Putin said “this whole Potash boondoggle with Belarus needs to be settled already, Goddamit.”

I am paraphrasing just a bit there.

But the idea of buying into the sector is intriguing, especially since everything under the sun is soaring. I cannot believe I missed out on this GNK and SBLK run. I knew they’d go, but opted to divest from the ships, after me long, arduous FRO campaign (ultra-violent).

At any rate, I believe SQM, MOS and POT are solid long term holds down here, with POT and MOS even paying generous dividends. If you want to go the degenerate OTB guy route, RNF and IPI are as hated as they come.

I am hesitant about buying into the sector today, based upon a god damned comment by that bastard in chief, President Putin. However, the long term idea of buying and holding these chem stocks is very appealing– I must admit.

Too bad I am 135% leveraged long and haven’t two nickels to rub together for new investments, otherwise I might do something today.

    I have been long IPI since 12.16! I’ve been tempted to sell out, but my stake is small, so I’ve stayed in. Finally pays off a bit today, although I am hoping for more of a gain.

    Icahn calls Michael Dell to congratulate him and wish him luck? Even when he appears to be losing, Carl is winning…wait, is it possible he’s Senor’s illegitimate father?

    made a rookie mistake selling my GNK long @ 2.89 wayy to early and have been slapped in the face pretty much every day since. Looks a little played out now. FREE has a much better risk/reward profile now
