Having barely survived the 2000-2002 period, let me say that one of the things that cost me dearly was my disbelief that the nasdaq having falling by 40% could fall by 40% again, or that a vaunted blue chip of the techno age like Nortel covered by dozens of analysts could decline by as much as it did. Trying to predict a bottom by usual percentage decline can be a very expensive proposition as we now know that stock market prices do not have normal distribution curves.

A stock that I do like, which given your area of experience you might want to take a look at is CRESY, an argentine based company which owns farms and real estate and is looking to expand in other parts of south america. They recently raised a bunch of capital from investors and are looking to buy additional farms now. Im told that the argentinian soil does not require fertilizer so that I would think that would give them some competitive edge.
