Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rafi Farber]

  Jack of all trades infrastructure firm AECOM (NYSE: ACM) closed at $27.88 the afternoon everyone thought it would be Clinton by a landslide. Since then, the stock has exploded by 35%. Runs like this for AECOM, while extreme, are not unheard of, as a long-term chart shows quite heavy volatility going back to 2007.

  AECOM (NYSE: ACM) offers architecture and engineering design services and operates through three segments: Design and Consulting Services, Construction Services, and Management Services. It services the transportation, environmental and energy sectors, and it also serves key infrastructure projects such as highways, airports, bridges, wastewater facilities and power transmission and distribution.

• [By Jon C. Ogg]

  Gains are being seen elsewhere as well, except in shares of The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS). Agrium�Inc. (NYSE: AGU) was up almost 3% at $91.95 in late Monday trading, although this one held up much better in the destructive news phase when the alarming news roiled these stocks. The big winner is Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI), with a gain of 7% to $16.20 in late-Monday trading.

• [By Mike Deane]

  On Monday, Mosaic Co. (MOS) updated its Q3 guidance ahead of upcoming investor conferences.

  The Plymouth, MN-based crop nutrients company provided this update because “domestic and international crop nutrient markets have softened … as a result of the distributors’ cautiousness caused by the Belarusian Potash�Company (BPC) break-up.” Mosaic still sees long-term positive outlook for the industry, but sees dealers being cautious in the short-term, thus deferring their purchases.

  Due to the short-term purchase deferrals, Mosaic has lowered its “price and volume guidance for both the Potash and Phosphates segments for the third calendar quarter of 2013.”

  The company has lowered its potash volume for the quarter to a range of 1.45 million to 1.65 million tonnes, and a price range of $330 to $340 per ton. Also lowered is phosphate guidance, with volume now expected in the range of 2.6 million to 2.8 million tonnes, and a price range of $430 to $440 per ton.

  Mosaic shares were down 44 cents, or .97%, at Monday’s market close. YTD, the company’s stock is down more than 20%.

  Fundstrat’s Thomas Lee argues that investors need to add value and low quality stocks like Ford Motor (F), Marathon Oil (MRO), Mosaic (MOS), and First Solar (FSLR) to their portfolios to take advantage of rising oil prices, a cheaper dollar and a rebound in high yield. He explains why:

• [By Lee Jackson]

  Mosaic Co. (NYSE: MOS) got absolutely crushed as the potash market went into a tailspin this year. The stock was down almost 50% and totally left for dead as the short sellers circled. The potash market has stabilized and the stock has rebounded solidly. The consensus target for this top name is $85, and investors are paid a 2.2% dividend. A move to the target from today’s trading level would be an almost 100% gain for investors.
