The Bull's Apprentice

It is said that no matter how great a man is, he is nothing without a legacy. Hence, that is why the Bull has been training his apprentice for many years now. The Bull will not always be here, but the legacy of the Bull will live on forever!

Here is an email my apprentice sent out earlier this week:

The year has started like I hoped. Up X,XXX,XXX on picks, XXX and XXXXX left the market XXXX is god knows where on his mission to get in the market, and The Bull... lets not even go there ha. There is really no subject to this email, just felt like sending something out. The one bright spot of this year is that the picks I sent to everyone, have returned about 15 percent so far.
I think for the rest of this email I am going to outline some things that may help make some money, and maybe provide some picks that will continue to prosper through 2008.

1. Ride AG till the end

Ag is the best sector of the market so far this year, and will continue to do so the rest of 08. Many of you know the main companies; MON MOS POT DE. These companies will return at least 20% this year if not more. How do I know this? Well with the prices of wheat, corn, and soybeans being where they are today, farmers have more money to spend buying new tractors, fertilizer, and pesticides. As long as these prices continue to stay high, I believe Ag is the place to be. TITN is a company I have loved since its IPO at 8.50. It now sits at around 20.00 a share, and I see it going to forty before the end of the year. They have a great balance sheet, strong name recognition in the farming industry, and they keep buying small mom and pop dealers around the midwest, making this company one of the largest of its kind. If this stock drops to seventeen or below, get in. Another agricultural stock I like, but don't own (at least not yet) is BG. Bunge is one of the world's biggest soybean processors, but it's also ideally positioned to benefit from soaring demand for grain. Bunge makes fertilizer, seeds, grains, animal feed, biofuels and consumer products, which pretty much covers every stage of the plant life cycle. Some other stocks to keep in mind are CPO and TNH. TNH is a great company Dennis Slothower states, "The company is one of the largest North American producers of anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate and nitrogen solutions, and is the largest producer of ammonia and ammonium nitrate in the United Kingdom."I like this stock for several reasons. It pays a very handsome dividend of 7%, but this is also a growth company that is undervalued with a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings but a sales growth rate of 45%. "The intrinsic value of this stock is $235 a share. This has the potential of doubling or even tripling your investment over the next three to five years while paying an excellent dividend." By looking at TNH, I two believe there is an excellent opportunity, with little downside.



2. Financials may be down, but are definitely not out



2007 was one of the worst years for financial stocks in a long time. This was mainly due to the subprime mess, and because of the massive write downs that almost every large bank had. The reason this all happened, was because of the ridiculous lending practices that some of these financial companies were involved in. Flexible rate mortgages pay a variable interest rate over a specific period of time, say thirty years. The advantage of this is that by having a flexible rate mortgage you SHOULD be able to keep your payments low. What happened with many of these is that there interest rates skyrocketed, and many were unable to pay, leading to these massive write offs. Also there are mortgages that you only have to pay interest on, and pay nothing on the money borrowed, or what we in the banking industry like to call the principal. So many people were like WOW THIS IS AWESOME, WE MAKE 10,000 dollars a year, and can buy a 400,000 dollar house because I can afford these payments. Well yes they may be able to make there payments, but in order to pay off the loan, they must pay MORE than what is asked, in order to reduce the principal. Most dont realize this until later, and come crying back to the bank saying that they are filing bankruptcy so what happens? The bank is forced to write off the loan. The main point of this is that yes financials struggled in 2007, and maybe for awhile here in 2008, but I see a buying opportunity here folks. So what I propose is do your homework, and get into at least one financial stock, it may not pay off immediately, but it will come back and then you will be sitting on some mad money. Some of my favorites include; C WB GS WFC ETFC AXP STI. My personal favorite is CSE. Look into these, wait for a pullback, and buy some.



3. AAPL will double by 2009



There is nothing much i have to say about this, but I would buy some aapl here soon, it will come back hard, and double by 2009



4. My picks for the rest of the year



TITN, ICE, MELI, CSE, MOS, DWSN, VRUS,JRCC, SFES, BWLD, WLL, SUF, HXM and I will add more later





There is always a bull market out there,



TITS AND ASS (Bull in training)






My thoughts on the Junior Bull:

1. He had a great call on AG, the next day the entire sector seemed to be up 9%(Monday). THN led the way being up 12%, MOS was also up over 10%. I love AG, and the Junior Bull knows better than anyone the AG sector.

2. You can tell the apprentice has about as much heart and feelings as I do with his rant on people that make 10 grand buying 400k houses. He is truly a special apprentice. Hard to find people who won't be afraid of speaking the truth.

3. The Junior Bull is very high on financials while I am wait and see. He had a great call on WFC(up 40% at one point this year) so he knows what he is talking about. He has also worked in the field of finance for many years now.

4. Apple seems to already be making this great comeback the JR. Bull talks about.

5. His stock picks for 2008 are up 17.28% ending today. That is without trading any of them. Find someone doing better.
