You've saved me a lot of money. I've had an up and down experience with mickey. I first subscribed to mickey two years ago. He was saying oil is going to $30 by 2009 (seemed crazy at the time!) but it was only $50. His first pick was TNH. It was really doing well so i got the $2000 letter. That was pretty much the same thing. He has been on fertilizer for a long time. THen he started telling us about potash north a week before it IPO. I didn't get in until $2. Then it shot up to $4 in a day. It started to fall and mickey told us to sell at $3. Not great, but not bad either. Then I started getting the teaser. But in the letter he told us to sell all fertilizer stocks and the ag bubble was about to burst. He was all over the place talking about the ag bubble bursting. But still kept getting the teaser. It didn't make any sense, but I sold so it didn't matter to me. Then he didn't write anything for a month and then he does not work Taipan anymore. It seemed pretty odd.

Recovery => lots of new buildings => profits for Cemex. No recovery => fewer and smaller new bldgs => no profits for Cemex.

As the govt continues printing money to bale out their friends, I will be supprised if it doesn't get a lot worse. Good luck from an other retiree.

I'll check those out. Cemex is a stock I've considered for quite a long time but it's always been too pricey for me. It's not pricey now, but is it poised to benefit from rebuilding infrastructure?
