  • mharps: $CMP- starter long term-decent dividend, minerals
  • mharps: $CMP-up 7% today on earnings and dividend-not a trader
  • mharps: $CMP-making a rebound off what could be a long term bottom-decent div. and earnings beat last quarter. Just nibbled yesterday
  • tejas7: $CMP speculative long, starter 1/3 position... Ex-div of 2/27 gives me hedge of 0.72. Perfect entry would be around 72 and bouncing. I will add 1/3 more for one more time if it reaches down to 72. Stop 71, no matter what.. (first out of foxhole, little more possibility of going wrong)
  • Remie1: $XME looking at some of the XME holdings and I see some potentially good share choices. $STLD, $RS, $NUE, $CMC, $CMP. Reasonable dividends and charts look good.
  • champ: $VDSI - Now out this morning near the hi....no squeeze today...so far. $CMP good bounce this morning ..now out. $LYB added this morning on the drop .. upgrade and new tgt $123....also INVESTOR DAY tomorrow. $T and $VZ still working. $PSX still holding.
  • champ: $CMP......sold 90% of my position going into earning AH. I do believe they will beat on all lines. Will find out in a few minutes.
  • champ: $CMP - On earnings they beat by $0.41 ..even beat the hi consensus. No shares available to buy AH. Now AH volume 484 shares up over $6. Have to wait until tomorrow to see how it trades...should be way up.
  • champ: $CMP and $GNRC are weather related stocks... climbing.....I have a position in $CMP going to add a little RHRN.
  • champ: $CMP ...really climbing again today ..hell I'm going going to add a little more and trade around my main position if the stock lets me ...adding RHRN.
  • champ: $CMP ...climbing on great news this morning..was up around $4 ....sold 3/4th. Would like to get back in ...on any pull back. $CIE was up over 4% today ...on this large oil discovery....will Zig-Zag but should keep climbing over the next few day and weeks. Big oil would like to have this company ...just because of there many oil discoveries that they have had over the last few years ...I'm thinking. I have made a lot of money in this company since 2012. This stock should keep climbing off the lows on this latest discovery. Those spikes in the chart going back to 2012 are past oil discoveries. Got back in yesterday. Now falling back a little ...going to add. $DECK climbing hard this morning. $SONC going to buy a little RHRN...every time I drive buy this place it"s full ..can't get in.
  • champ: $CMP - More news coming out on this company within the last hour...that they will be saving a lot more money on shipping and handing cost from all their mining plants to customers. This should be very positive on earning because their yearly contrac ...
  • champ: $SPXU, $UVXY,$CNV, $CMP, $CME, $LULU and $LOCO ...only holding these 7 stocks. On market direction ..I don't have a clue. Watching the $SPX to see if buyers can defend this 2033 zone today. I will add onto $SPXU and $UVXY...if the market tells me to...? $BAC dropping hard ..watching everything at this point.
  • champ: $CMP - I really like the way this stock has been working the last 4 days or so....I think it goes right back up to around $93 or so. You can take a look and see this on the chart. In doing my research I found that they have raised all prices on their products this year over last years prices. They have standing contacts now with higher prices with all the States, Counties and Cities....road crews for all the salt , which includes highway deicing products for Roads and Airplanes. They have 9 production plants and 3 packaging facilities. All their products are must have ...doesn't have anything to do with the economy. So I'm going to add again RHRN...should keep climbing.
  • champ: $BA ...adding..$CMP..adding a little.
  • champ: $CMP - I also sold this stock on 11/21 @ $91.30 ...got back in Friday. Now going to add on this upgrade today RNRN.
  • ginny: $CMP they sell the to keep the stuff to keep the roads free of ice traded x-div today NP
  • gtrguy: $CMP if you missed the entry a couple weeks back, this one's pulling back. No entry signal yet (i.e. engulfing, hammer, etc.).
  • champ: @gtrguy $$CMP - Watching ...sold a couple days ago....I would also like to get back in around $86 or so. They had very good price increases this year on there highway dicing salt.
  • Poppy: $CMP ex div tomorrow 11/26 $0.70..so don't freak out when seeing price drops. long CMP for the winter
  • champ: $CMP - Weather related stock just keeps climbing...take a look at the chart and the list of all the companys minerals that they mine. The high was in July a SUMMER month... around $97.50 and it's still $6 below that. A Great mining company with many other products ....not only road dicing salt and sand. I think with the winter months just starting ...this stock will break a $100 and maybe just keep climbing all the way up to earnings on 2/9/15. Analyst will be upgrading this stock all winter long ...I think. So I'm going to add again in this low risk stock RHRN.
  • champ: $GNRC and $CMP - These weather related stocks are starting to work and now bouncing...Generators and Road Deicing Salt and Sand. Adding a little....
  • BocaRick: @gtrguy $CMP Compass Minerals Int'l was Grasso' call...Adami was pushing QCOM. Never heard of CMP but up 1.2% PM
  • ginny: @BocaRick $CMP they supply the road salt and sand that we need in the north to keep our roads open.
  • champ: @gtrguy - $CMP - Thanks... for putting this out. I like this weather related stock. I got in on the open. All the Cities, Counties and States that are getting hit ...will have to restock their sand and road salt soon going into the winter months...this is just the start for this stock .. I think. Should be getting up grades soon. Don't know why anyone would sell this stock going into the winter months...should run all the way up to earnings on 2/9/15...should be an easy stock to hold.

  • hooked1: $XME I Just went through it. $ATI, $CMP, $CRS, and $TIE are the components that are up. Titanium Metals is up 15% and the others in this $ETF all sell Ti alloys. The other components are down.
  • 1winkie: $CMP - Compass minerals - I just want to thank you @Dan for a great technical short trade - this was a great trade/learning lesson for me and not only a profitable one but one which I now look out for other opportunities to mimic the set up. Question? Do you think $DGI might be similar? Glad to be apart of SMM, always learning and thank you for all that you do for us!

  • Burt H: $CMP Agri company also provides salt for roadways close to a breakout of high in Jan conf call narrative said purchases for salt were down in 4th qtr. Also increased pricing in 2009 opinion of a run from recent high
  • Russ: Speaking of junk longs, Barrons.com currently has a feature article called "Shorts Story" on recommendations from Short Alert. The article discusses $JCOM, $MIDD, $CMP, $LRN, and PTV, then mentions six other companies that may be headed decisively down. (In connection with $PNR, I also looked at $POOL which failed its 20, 50 and 200dmas this week and may be rolling over.) I am not experienced at #shorting (I'm not all that experienced at "longing" either) and will keep @Dan's caution in mind that #shorting a stock requires a lot of babysitting. But it's sure hard to see much of an uptrend for the next several weeks. I might use this time to learn more about #shorting. Russ PS Suzie, great to see your posts again!
  • Bob: Hey Team You know how @Dan has explained how if a 3rd standard deviation on BB's are hit that we might look for a pullback to about the 2nd standard deviation? I'm pretty sure his example was for a breakout upwards but for the heck of it, I took a recent list of IBD 100's and looked to see how many traded down to a low 3rd std today. Not recommending anything but here's the list...thought a few might enjoy looking at some of the names and or charts. $TITN $SKH $BKE $CMP $CSX $DXPE $ESI $FLS $FMC GMXR $HES $HUBG $IIIN $IIVI $IT KNDL $KOP $KSU $LMIA $SKH $OLN $SYNA $TESO $TISI $URBN $VMI $WAB WGOV add most of the ags to that list too. I'm sure there are dozens more, just used an IBD 100 list for source.
  • orthodoc: @Evanesce, thanks! I agree, especially with mining companies. Just wonder if fabrication companies will do better with pricing that is high and input costs down. I am just watching as well. Someone did ask about rock salt yesterday. $CMP is the largest company that produces salt for roads, industries, etc.

I sold 40% of my $CF position today. I am not sure whether it pulls back but I would definitely buy more when it dips. One of the best performer in AGs along with POT. Got some $CMP yesterday.
