  2. provides products and services primarily for agriculture and forestry worldwide. Its Agriculture and Turf segment manufactures and distributes a line of farm and turf equipment, and related service parts, which include large, medium, and utility tractors; loaders; combines, corn pickers, cotton and sugarcane harvesters, and related front-end equipment.World's leading manufacturer of agricultural and forestry equipmentDeere holds anearly 50% share of the North American farm equipmentmarket thanks to its machinery's high resale value andsolid support network. Elsewhere, Deere faces moresubstantial competition from CNH Global and AGCO, butnonetheless remains the largest global player. Leading position as it invested about 4% of its revenue in research anddevelopment annually during the past 10 years comparedwith 2% at AGCO and 3% at CNH.Intensive development by building up new facilities in India, China, Brazil, and Russia

  4. Global food output must rise 70 percent by 2050 to feed a world population expected to grow to 9 billion from 7 billion and as increasingly wealthy consumers in developing economies eat more meat, according to the FAO.  Increase expansion in BRIC where there are800 million people in the middle class. Large populations expanding consumption and demand food of higherquality and in greater quantities. To keep pace, farms in thesecountries will require more advanced forms ofagricultural equipment.Deere's finance arm has typically required a substantialdown payment on new equipment sales, and JohnDeere machinery generally holds its secondhand valuewell. As such, we don't expect Deere Credit to facemeaningful write-offs, even as the agriculturalequipment market has weakened.Consistent with dealer channel checks demand in the UK, Germany, and France which are the most important farm countries remains very strongOn CAPS, 96% of the 2,808 members who have rated Deere believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forwardThe StockScouter measure of relative price change and consistency is very high. 4.3m lbs of corn to produce 944,000 barrel of ethanol a week. 2/5 of US corn production are shunted into ethanol.

Russia holds 8% of the world's arable land, but only 25% of this acreage uses modern farming techniques as found in North America, creating a sizable growth opportunity for advanced equipment manufacturers such as Deere.www.themoscowtimes.com/mobile/article/452256.html
  6. The U.S. 2011 harvest suffered from low production yields, but also increased cropprices at a higher magnitude. As such, the companyenjoyed strong full-year 2011 (fiscal year ending October)sales growth, stemming from double-digit agriculturalequipment increases and even stronger constructionequipment gains.fourth-quarter results and an initial 2012 outlook thatboth topped our expectations. Led by strong 17.5%year-over-year top-line growth in its core agriculture andturf business (about 80% of total equipment revenue in thequarter)Deere guided to full-year earnings of $4.90 a share, below the consensus at the time of $5.23 a share.
  7. Deere also faces sizable exposure to the U.S.residential housing market through its constructionequipment segment and raw-material cost fluctuations. Arecent endeavor to expand the construction segment inChina also presents risk, as the housing bubbling market has come to saturation. Bubbles pop?USDA higher-than-expected inventory levels: prompting a sell-off in grain markets =>Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs cut crop price forecasts this year
  8. Gold has done well, WHY? Contagion of gov and bank insolvencies, faltering economic growth, has caused a lot of fear. Golds become very popular as a preservation of wealth, and store as collatoral during these uncertain times. Europes inevitable default
  9. Listed on NYSEExpense .4%GLD is an ETF traded throughout the day on NYSE that tracks the price of an ounce of gold (chart). The ETF is and open end trust, which means that it is traded through our the day unlike a mutual fund. A trust means you are just trading with another market participant, they don’t take your money and go buy more gold. Creation/ redemption is the key to AP’s and the trustee. Gld has a NAV- the underlying value at the trust corresponding to the outstanding shares. If too many people want to BUY shares, it may rise above NAV. That’s when APs will mbe market makers and short you shares, while buyin actual gold. They sell u a share above NAV and buy real gold, then take the gold they bought to the trustee in exchange for shares. Since they now have new shares it closes out their short position they made when they sold to you. This keeps the price close to NAV take the gold they bought
