Email question about:
Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH)

Q:        Last week he became the only person to publicly and rightly recognized that the competition to oil (gasoline) is fuel-efficient cars and ultimately in my view, the national power grid. I almost threw up my breakfast this morning watching a commodities manager on CNBC insists that oil prices are based on supply and demand, and likely to rebound in early 2009. The price of oil is not about the supply and demand for oil per se, it's about competition... Jim, do everyone a favor and alert the farmers that they could see futures this spring at 1999 prices, and tell CNBC to quit having so-called commodity experts on your channel while I'm eating breakfast. You get my vote for the SEC post.

Jim:     Thank you for the vote... I don't like the managed commodity guys, by the way, I don't like them... I will tell you that I think commodities are not going to lift... our viewer is probably right... I also say should sell most of the agriculture stocks... they are up again. If you need to buy a fertilizer stock, remember, it's Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH)... it has a good yield...

Email question about:
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)

Q:        I think I got it now... President-elect Obama's infrastructure stimulus program is approved, then construction workers can support stocks I have by driving Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) tractors, eating lunch at McDonald's (MCD*), having an Altria (MO*) cigarette on coffee breaks, and later when taking their families to Disney World... happy days may be here again...

Jim:     Caterpillar, I like below $39. That's where it will be in accidentally high-yield... 4% and change... McDonald's... I've already profess to love for that company... I would buy it at $55... and Altria... they've committed to the dividend... at $15, that stock is a steal...
