“D2cold” with an overall gain of 23.37% in just one month through his picks soft drink maker Cott Corp (COT), Canada based paper and wood products company AbitibiBowater (ABH) and the unstoppable fertilizer company Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT). POT, which is currently trading at $155.21 was a $29 stock less than two years ago and “D2cold” made a good point with his question “what goes up, must… come down?” while shorting the stock. I did not think I would see the day when a fertilizer company would trade for more than 10 times its sales, a P/E of 45.61 and a dividend yield of just 0.30%. The forward P/E of 16.62 implies expectations of tremendous growth in either potash prices or fertilizer volume in 2008.
The runner up of the subscriber stock contest was “yc” with his brilliant move of shorting Bear Sterns (BSC). You can check out the rest of his picks along with the rest of the contestants here.
