Congrats Citigroup's and Goldman Sachs' analysts .

Citigroup already in April had a $200 target on MOS

and June 9, 2008 Goldman Sachs added Mosaic Co. to its Conviction Buy List

Gotta love that GS conviction buy list. Always so timely! They put MOS on it after it only had a minor 1000% run in 18 months? Please.

GS had a "Buy" rating on MOS before June.
GS' rating on MOS was Buy in January, Buy in April.


Anyway GS was timely: MOS is up huge since June 9

And earlier GS added MOS to its Conviction Buy List and After someone else included MOS into his index

And GS' rating on Visa (V) was "Buy" since IPO

Yea I took LVS for a swing trade over the weekend, because GS took it off the conviction buy list last week at the 52 week low......

Do the opposite of most analyst and you will be just fine in the long run...

When GS added MOS to its Conviction Buy list you could Buy MOS at $138.5, now MOS is at $161 ; 8 days after.

Anyway I'm sure GS had a Buy rating on MOS also when MOS was at $94 (then their target was about $122, later they raised it to $165 and $195)

Analysts are (usually) always late to the game with buy and sell recommendations. Strong stock performance forces them to add stocks to their buy lists and when a stock trends down you can see analysts flip their buys to sells one by one until it eventually bottoms out.

Anybody have an approximate equity curve of that GS conviction list over the last 60 months? I'd be shocked if it actually outperformed the SP500/MSCI World on a risk adjusted basis.

The ones who were buying POT on Citi's analyst's advice in September 2006 were not late to the game
