On CAPS, 98% of the 1,336 members who have rated CF believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, AygHead, succinctly summed up the CF bull case for our community:

Best management in the ag/fertilizer space. Investing in a new plant for late 2015, which will be the largest of its kind in the US, and with an excellent/strategic location, cheap labor pool and incentives from the state. There will probably be price compression for fertilizer as supply expands, but this will be offset by inflation and continued (very) low input costs given the shale boom (nat gas). Long term hold.

If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, CF may not be your top choice.
