Bookkeeping: Adding to Potash (POT); Monsanto (MON) close

Submitted By Trader Mark
Ever since I sold out of Mosaic (MOS) last week, I have been wanting to apply the money into Potash (POT) to keep my fertilizer/agriculture exposure constant - if you remember, the return of "herd trading" was back in commodities; so I didn't see a reason to own two names in a sector when 1 will do. By remaining patient, today we get our chance as the (cough) imminent global growth rebound thesis is being sandblasted. I can only assume the Baltic Dry Index of shipping felt 0.000000002% today ... or oil is down.

Potash is down 10% today and has fallen back to its 50 day moving average of $75 so my order executed just above that. This drives up our exposure from 0.7% of portfolio to 1.4% - again all I really am doing here is a pairs trade of sort - I sold out of one name and rolled into another (but I was able to buy the "other" 10%+ lower). I am willing to purchase here, but if we begin to break down to say upper $60s I'll cut back exposure as I believe this "global growth is back because a stupid shipping index is up 2% after falling 90%" is complete bunk.

Further, Monsanto (MON) is coming into range - we've been waiting for this gap to fill, and a buck more to the downside and my limit order should hit.

My limit order here is around $77 so if it hits I will just edit this entry - again I'd like to stress the potential for some losses is far higher here on short term buys then what we've enjoyed the past 7-8 weeks. So I'm looking more towards things I want to keep in the portfolio for the longer run when they pull back.

EDIT 3:45 PM: Monsanto limit order hit

Are people beginning to doubt the veracity of SuperObama being able to reignite growth with his magic wand?

Long Potash in fund; no personal position

A lot of people are familiar

A lot of people are familiar with the brand “MBT” but a lot among them don’t have clear idea of the functions of [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/][b]discount mbt shoes sale[/b][/url]. As an advanced consuming commodity， let’s take a look at the prices of [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/][b]shop of discount mbt shoes[/b][/url]. Without question, office workers and people who like going shopping can afford [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/mbt-chapa-gray-shoes-p-5742.html][b]MBT Chapa sale [/b][/url]. However, in terms of students who have no earning, it is comparatively difficult for them to afford a pair of MBT shoes unless they have wealthy parents. I’m sure most people bare this idea. In my opinion, [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/][b]mbt shoes sale[/b][/url] are not necessarily expensive because a pair of shoes can be used for at least three years due to its solid structures. Therefore, in the long run, a pair of MBT shoes is not so expensive if we detach the expenditures to several years.[url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/mbt-chapa-gray-shoes-p-5742.html][b]MBT Chapa Gray Shoes[/b][/url] are used in sports. A lot of professional athletes wear [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/mbt-chapa-gray-shoes-p-5742.html][b]MBT Chapa Shoes[/b][/url] to advance or cooperate with their trainings to prevent damages caused by sharp exercises. In addition, [url=http://www.shop-mbt.com/mbt-chapa-gray-shoes-p-5742.html][b]MBT Chapa [/b][/url] can be used in daily life. It can train your muscles, burn calories, protect your joints and so on
