Hey, Cramer!
A certain CNBC commentator has VERY LOUDLY been saying that the agriculture boom is over.
Now sure, I recommended taking gains on some agriculture stocks in my Agriculture Boom report. But those stocks had racked up such big gains in such a short time that it was just smart to book gains and/or half gains.
And I told a bunch of people at the World Money Show today that I would wait for a pullback in agricultural commodities before trying to buy them.
But does this look like the end of a boom to you?…
