Q&A: Specific Stocks

I bought Deere on your recommendation, and have been watching it go down daily. They report on May 8th. Does the market know something I don't? Should I sell before earnings? Thank you.

Deere (DE) is also rated as an A-rated in PortfolioGrader Pro.  Deere has firmed up a bit.  The stock’s recent profit taking seemed to be associated with other agriculture stocks volatility, which has since ceased. 

By the way in my Global Growth letter, I commented last week that Indian farmers are increasingly choosing camels over diesel-hungry tractors.  Market prices for camels, which previously crashed with the growing affordability of motorized vehicles, are rising again as oil prices soar.  A sturdy male camel with a life expectancy of 60 to 80 years now costs up to 40,000 rubles ($982), compared with just 5,000 to 10,000 rubles ($123 to $246) just three years ago.  Entry-level tractors cost around $4,000.   I keep thinking about “green” John Deere camels being sold in India.  Hopefully, tractors will prevail over camels in India.
