MightyMoMo recently made a Buy call on Potash (POT), stating
that the fertilizer company is a "possible double".
But this player is also putting a good deal of emphasis on
telecom, and believes it's in a "huge" bull market mode.
"Telecom (is) not done," wrote MightyMoMo in a recent blog.
"Take a look at all these sector stocks, S, T, RIMM, NOK, CSCO
GLW, VZ.....all in bull market trend mode. With the advent of
citywide WIFI and the new technology of WIMAX, these companies
will benefit from the merger and consolidation of this
possible lifestyle change."
MightyMoMo is, impressively, in the top 2% of users. Click
