i think the above picks did well enough to take the profits prematurely.

new picks, assuming prices from friday's closing: long MOS, short POT; long NFLX, short P; long xvix, short gold; long LTBR, short URA

yep, sold out of most of my long positions (DE, FCX, GS, MOS, RIG, SLV) on friday. the S&P 500 rallied 200 points in a month: too much, too fast.

waiting for the pullback.

curious, what's your rationale for the MOS/POT pairs trade?
with the population boom not slowing down, fertilizer/potash prices are only going to rise across the space. and technically, looking at the chart, both have traded relatively in tandem.

if anything, POT's shown higher gross margins (49% vs. 32%). is MOS an undervalued play for you? less debt on the balance sheet?

I like to maintain net neutrality. MOS versus POT is purely a contrarian bet based on the relative performance since January 18.

Again, trades did well. I would exit now. Europe is scary.
