Alnylam, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focuses on developing novel therapeutics based on a biological breakthrough known as RNA (Ribo Nucleic Acid) interference (RNAi). Alnylam’s founders pioneered the discovery of RNAi, and the company is currently utilizing this technology to build a pipeline of drug candidates for the treatment of a wide array of diseases. Key programs in the areas of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Parkinson’s disease (PD), cystic fibrosis (CF) and spinal cord injury round out the company’s core focus. Alnylam generates revenues from research collaborations, grants and licensing of the RNAi technology outside its core focus area. Alnylam has partnerships with several large pharmaceutical companies, such as Novartis (NVS), ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shares of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT), the world’s largest fertilizer company by capacity, shot up 28% and closed at $143.17 on August 17, 2010 after rebuffed mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd’s (BHP) hostile acquisition proposal. It was a $38.6 billion (all in cash) offer, which Potash turned down, citing that the offer grossly undervalues the company and its future growth prospects. The fertilizer industry is witnessing a consolidation phase with a steady rise in demand for crop nutrients like potash over the past year. The Potash-BHP Billiton saga comes in just after the year-long take over battle between three North American fertilizer producers:  Agrium Inc. (AGU), CF Industries (CF) and Terra Industries (TRA), which with CF acquiring Terra. BHP Billiton’s Offer BHP Billiton, the world’s largest mining company, ]]></description>

AWB accepted Agrium&#8217;s A$1.24 billion (US $1.19 billion) acquisition offer discarding Australian grain maker, GrainCorp Limited&#8217;s all-stock proposal of A$885 million ($850 million).

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK After the sharp declines in the last two years, we expect worldwide chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) to recover, albeit at a slow rate. At a global level, we currently expect that chemical production will require another couple of years to return to production levels seen before the crisis. In industrialized countries, severe declines in production as a result of the global financial and economic crisis will have longer-lasting effects. The North American chemical production is expected to experience above-average growth in 2010, with domestic demand improving from the key customer industries. Chemical giant BASF is expecting about 10% growth in the U.S. chemical industry on the back of rising demand for exports. We believe aggressive efforts in working capital reductions, supply chain optimization and productivity improvement should yield margin ]]></description>

(CF) fell 1.82% and closed at $93.19 after it pulled out its offer to acquire rival fertilizer company, Terra Industries Inc. (TRA). CF Industries announced yesterday that it is no longer pursuing the acquisition deal. Deerfield, Illinois-based CF Industries has been pursuing a hostile acquisition of Terra since January of last year. However, Terra’s shareholders has been repeatedly rebuffing CF’s offer. In its last bid, CF had increased its offer price for Terra by 12% to $4.6 billion. CF Industries had bought about 7% of Terra, which it claims to have sold with a net gain that more than offset the expenses it incurred in connection with its proposed acquisition. Terra shares closed Thursday up 5 cents at $32.66, but lost $3.61 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CF Industries Holdings Inc. (CF) recently increased its offer for rival Terra Industries Inc. (TRA) to about $4.59 billion as it seeks to end an almost 11-month pursuit of the nitrogen-fertilizer maker. The offer represents an 18% premium over Terra’s closing price on Dec 4. The bid of $36.75 in cash and 0.1034 of a CF share for each share of Terra includes the $7.50 a share dividend Terra declared in September this year. CF’s previous offer was $32 in cash and 0.1034 of a CF share Incorporatedluding the dividend. CF Industries has been seeking to acquire Terra since January, offering $2.1 billion while fending off a hostile bid from Agrium Inc. (AGU) itself. The outcome of the three-way battle will determine whether Agrium or CF will become the world’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fertilizer company CF Holding Industries Inc. (CF) has recently notified that its rival Terra Industries Inc. has rebuffed CF’s most recent takeover offer on Sep 28. This is the fifth time that Terra has rejected CF’s $4 billion takeover proposal on grounds of undervaluation. Over the past two weeks, CF Industries had acquired a 7% stake in Terra valued at nearly $247 million. CF’s proposed exchange ratio of 0.465 CF shares per Terra share (which CF plans to reduce in case Terra declares its special cash dividend of $7.50 per share) does not reflect Terra’s much larger contribution of nitrogen results to the combined entity. While Terra would contribute about 59% of the nitrogen results of the combined entity, its shareholders would receive only 48.5% of the equity pre-dividend, reduced ]]></description>

The acquisition talk has helped to overshadow a negative trend that should have investors concerned &#8211; ongoing cuts to full-year profit forecasts. During the past 90 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimates have been revised downwards on several fertilizer companies Incorporatedluding Agrium (AGU), Intrepid Potash (IPI), Mosaic (MOS) and Potash of Saskatchewan (POT). The most recent cuts were related to a warning from POT. The company predicted that its full-year profits would be in the range of $3.25 to $3.75 per share, instead of the prior guidance of $4 to $5 per share. The company blamed &#8220;continued slow demand and limited restocking by fertilizer distributors&#8221; as the reasons for the revised forecast. All Is Not Well on the Farm The big ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Matt Weinschenk, Senior Analyst, The White Cap Report Tuesday, January 27, 2009: Issue # 923 Editor’s Note: Last Saturday, we sent out a special broadcast on an oil situation called “contango.” We’ve received a lot of response from that broadcast. Many investors have jumped on the contango bandwagon in recent days. But not all of them are doing it correctly. Take a look at the follow up below, and you’ll see why. You might think you’re properly invested in oil, but you could be wrong. Despite reaching lows since 2004, the long-term outlook for oil is still up. Maybe not $147 a barrel like the old days (i.e. six months ago), but because of supply, demand, turmoil in the Middle East, and the fact that we will eventually resume ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stock of the Day: CF Industries (NYSE: CF) by Matt Weinschenk, Senior Analyst, The White Cap Report A Rare Bump for a Buyer… What do a Wall Street analyst and a corn farmer have in common?  They both know that fertilizer prices have fallen off of a cliff. Last year, a big increase in the demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers led the price of fertilizer and the value of the companies that make it, to triple-digit gains. But when the commodities market cooled, fertilizers were no exception. Since then, the prices of fertilizer – and the companies that produce them – have dropped straight back to Earth. Take a look… That’s why CF Industries’ (NYSE: CF) recent announcement made such big news. Amid collapsing share prices and notoriously tight credit for ]]></description>
