POT may jump today:
December 29, 2009 7:50 AM EST

In a report this morning, Goldman Sachs notes that recent Conviction Buy List-rated stock PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) published their price list for 2010 in the US. The price for granular grade potash for January 4, 2010, to February 28, 2010, will be offered at $390/st, which is down 24% from the July 2009 price. List prices will increase by $30/st beginning March 1, 2010.

Commenting on the implications of this, the firm said the decrease has been expected but notes the increase in the price list in March indicates that POT is seeking to stimulate order activity and anticipates the market will tighten as spring application approaches.

The firm is making no estimate changes and maintained their Conviction Buy rating and $138 price target on POT.

My 2 cents.
GS must be waiting for the POT buyout (as rumored). Actualy, these guys are accumulating POT at lower price.

Happy new year 2010
