Potash POT News 9/12 - Pot stock ripping higher Friday

This morning we have Potash ( POT ) ripping higher after a strong reversal yesterday. Potash has been an ugly stock over the past month or so. Looking at the Pot chart....we have that resistance at about $170 so you may want to try and short it there. Buying dips below $140 would be a good buy. CNBC Fast Money's Guy Adami pointed out that POT was trading like Potash prices were $400 a ton while they are really at $900 per ton. Could this be the bottom for the Ag stocks? I seem to think so! The key to making quick and huge gains in the stock market are buying stocks on the turn rather then catching a falling knife. Patience is the key! Buying stocks on the turn is one of the hardest things for stock market traders to do. The fear of " I'm going to miss the run if I don't get in " leaves most investors caught in a downward spiral lower, only to sell out break even when the stock actually starts " The Turn " higher.

There are price targets of $280 per share out there. Once POT closes back over $190, things will really get rolling again!

Don't try to catch falling knives! The stock market is always right and if a stock is going down, its going down for a reason! Catch the turn back up!

( WM ) Washington Mutual 9/12/08 - WM Stock up Pre Market Trading

This morning WM Washington Mutual Shares are up about 6% to $3.00 per share in Pre Market trading. WAMU has been feared of going out of business along with LEH Lehman Brothers. There are talks that Lehman night get bought out by Monday and I think this will cause a spike in WM shares. High risk though, but keep an eye on this situation!

Shares of WM are also up because Goldman Sachs ( GS ) is coming out this morning and upgrading Washington Mutual from Sell to Neutral.

First Solar ( FSLR ) Upgraded 9/12 to Buy - Societe Generale

This morning 9/12/08, First Solar ( FSLR ) has been started with a buy from Societe Generale company. First Solar stock has been crushed over the past two weeks due to fears of prices falling in 2009. They seem to be over done however, and I have been trading this stock daily. Buying below $200 and selling above or at $210 has worked great. When FSLR breaks $219 it will be back in play. I could see it going to $235-$240 quickly.

CNBC's Jim Cramer blessed FSLR stock on lightening round last night 9/11 on Cramer's Mad Money.
