Ethanol Boom and Bust (Feature Article)

Man.. i just got to put the whole picture here.  This is one of the coolest news article I have ever seen!  Amazing way of presenting information.  Hehe… reminds me of http://www.streetsine.com/ but of course… for FT, the UI looks a bit more classy….

Looking at this graph, I kind of recall what I read in investment books.  Generally, sudden large appreciation in share price for a company in a particular industry is a sign of weakness.  This is because for weakly managed companies, a slight increase in profitability of the business can have incredulous results on their year-on-year % profit increment, compared to those of a well-managed company. 

Hmmm… so beware of extraordinarily high year on year growth!  We should pay more attention to the company’s profit margin which acts as a reliable buffer in lean times!
