Their arguments are specious but they should still go ahead and short all the potash stocks :-}

"Second, you could hardly have found a worse investment in modern times -- according to the U.S. Geological Survey, real potash prices have fallen 95 per cent from their record (peace-time) peak in 1919 through the recent trough in 2003.

This tells me that potash prices are still cheap. Article did not mention how low the stocks of all grains are. Comparisons to vacuous tech bubble stocks with nothing but hype to a real commodity producer that sells an essential chemical to grow food that the world is short of is absurd. Buy [t]RAY.v[/t], [t]KCL.v[/t], and [t]MAA.v[/t] and let Merrill Lynch short [t]POT[/t], [t]AGU[/t], and [t]MOS[/t]. After all, they were smart enough to be big players in the subprime toxic waste market so I'm sure they know what they're doing.
