Best/Worst Returns
Intrepid Potash mines for the potassium rich minerals needed for the manufacture of crop fertilizer. Looking at spiking global demand for corn and grains, investors seemed to think the company's endeavor can pay off bountifully. They rewarded Intrepid's April IPO on the NYSE with a 106% return for Q2. Energy is another commodity with growing global demand. How to meet it is somewhat less certain. Real Goods Solar hopes to tap the power of the sun. Investors didn't actually give that a ringing endorsement in Q2. The company went public on the NASDAQ in May and finished the quarter down 39%.
