NE Illinois | As a public company and head of the corporation, his primary job is to increase shareholder value. Of course, to do this you have to have solid customer base. What I am saying here is to take matters into your own hand by buying some shares in these companies to hedge your future fertilizer expenses. If fertilizer prices increase, your increase in expense will be offset by an increase in the stock price of the fertilizer company. If the stock price increases dramatically, buy some Puts to protect the initial investment in fertilizer company. Theoretically, it's a one time investment. I took the opportunity to do this during the dramatic drop in share prices of these organizations (most of them dropped more than 75%) late last year and early this year. I now have some peace of mind that if fertilizer prices do increase dramatically, I won't feel the pain because of my fertilizer company investment.
Capitalism has many faults and deficiencies, but in the long run it has proven to be be far superior to any socialistic society in history. The poorest of the poor in the U.S. and Canada are still better off than the vast majority of the population of the world mostly run by socialism. All you need to do is take advantage of the opportunities provided by capitalism. | |
