Why don't you suggest a better stock ny_hood? This stock might not be a google circa 2004, but what is these days anyway? Honestly, just about everything is down today, if you want to make money you need to focus on the longer term.
I looked across my stocks today, and out of the 120+ stocks im watching only a few are up today. These being SKF, SOLF, UNG and DBA. DBA is an agricultural etf, which actually managed to rise today despite all the pressures on commodity prices you keep hearing about. Non-agricultural commodities declined today, which is good for a company like cf. I wouldn't read to much into one day, but what we are seeing might be the beginning of a larger trend. I'm guessing food prices will remain high, atleast relative to other commodities.
Oh one last word. Dollar rally what a joke. True, the dollar has strengthened relative to a few crosses short term, with the exception of the yen. The currencies the dollar has strengthened against may have been overvalued, like the euro. This does not take away the fact the printing presses in the US are running at mach 10. The fed can print money but it can't print food.
I could write a book on how poor the dollar outlook is believe me. The fact of the matter is the US is insolvent. SS and Medicare entitlements are 53 trillion dollars. The only way to pay for them is to devalue the dollar. We all know the CPI which Social Security is indexed for vastly under reports inflation. You will get your social security check but it won't buy anything. Oh and peak oil...
