The stock has hit a base and is climbing slowly.

I am aghast that people here do not even seem to recognize what bull market behavior is. Pure, oxygenated bull market patterns abound every day here. Look at Potash (POT) on takeover talk from Bank of America about BHP Billiton (BHP)! Total ether! And yet it takes Deere (DE) up with it. All aboard Monsanto (MON)?

Cramer has this in the sell block - could have some legal problems facing Anti-trust issues;

A newcomer to the fund this year is agribusiness giant Monsanto. The company is by no means new to Oak Value. Coats & Co. have wanted to add the stock for years, but it was expensive. They were impressed with Monsanto's weed-killer Roundup, but what they really liked was the company's seed business. They previously had concluded that Monsanto's earnings were being skewed by one-time price increases for Roundup that weren't likely to be duplicated. In June, when the generic producers ramped up production and hit Roundup's profits, Coats found his "inflection point," and picked up shares around $75 -- well below the 2008 peak above $145. They now trade a little over $82. The company has a forward price-earnings ratio of around 19. "We don't have any expectation that we have picked the bottom of the stock," Coats says, but "the business has evolved as we thought."

Barron's: How much of your portfolio is made up of healthy growth companies versus the ones that are out of favor?

Milano: Even the ones that are out of favor are growth companies. For example, Monsanto [MON] has had its stock price cut in half because it is out of favor, but it is still very much a growth company. So, in terms of names that are beaten up and out of favor, it's maybe a quarter of the portfolio, which currently has about 95 names.

Cramer endorsed both Potash (POT) and Deere (DE) and predicted that a short squeeze in Monsanto (MON) would push that stock “much, much higher.”

Constant buy under $80, never fails as of my 1 year holding period.

Pipeline is great. This should not be judged by Roundup alone. Re-entry into wheat could pay off huge if their scientists are as good as expected.

food play

World needs more to eat.

a little on the wild side!

too unpredicable

They force poor people to not use their own seeds

personal

Stock inconsistent

Superbugs created by nature in response to crops with genetically engineered infestation resistance will start appearing in soybeans and corn, and the economics of Monsanto's selling proposition to farmers will collapse.

another disaster for out world- GMO and seed control in developing markets

lost opportunity

Stricter controls on the borders, as purposed by Republicans, would hurt argicultural companies, due to a decreased workforce.
