For all the attention paid to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), its the S&P 500 thats relied on by insiders and institutional investors. It represents the industry standard for American large-cap indices.
The Dow is made up of just 30 stocks to the S&P 500s 500, and it uses an unreliable and outdated price-weighting system where the S&P 500 relies on market cap in weighting its returns. This is why its long-term returns is a much more reliable gauge for the performance of large- and mega-cap stocks over time.

Chart Revelations As Seen From CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF) – NY Stock News
Posted: at 7:16 am
The technicals for CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF) has spoken via its technical chart and the message is loud and clear. Based on that message, this is the relevant information necessary to make sense of that current setup. Making successful trades call for a mix of skills. One of those very important skills is the ability to read the technical charts and extract a premise or reason for executing a trade. It follows then, that every trader should make it analyzing the technical charts of a given stock a top priority. Failure to do this could severely hamper success.
(CF) is now solidly presented where a clearly defined trend is concerned. This is evident based on information displayed via its 50 and 200 SMAs. The trend levels paint a telling picture which when analyzed, is best characterized as bullish. As a result of the current trends presented by both SMAs, traders have offered a defined and strong outlook for the stock. The overall sentiment or disposition towards the stock can best be described as positive. The discernable sentiment towards the stock has created a resulting influx of opinion that is now created a volume situation clearly titling towards a weak disposition as the situational flux between buyers and sellers take a definitive shape. The overall sentiment of the stock certainly looks more shapely than it did before the foregoing technical indicators started to converge. The trend seems like a likely candidate for becoming something bigger.; Since these sentiments have taken shape, a marked level of indifference has materialized when all statistical factors are considered regarding the stocks profile among traders. Overall viability is therefore, based on the foregoing readings, highlighting the disposition of traders towards the stock. This disposition should retain consistency with the overall technical picture cast by the two important technical indicators mentioned above.
Relative strength indicator (RSI) and Stochastic measures offer another dimension to the whole methodology of analyzing a stock for its potential and existing trends. Both measures are relied upon heavily by successful traders, and combined; they offer an insightful peek inside the workings of a stock. They specifically allow traders to gauge whether or not a given stock is overbought or oversold. The overbought/undersold measure should never be underestimated for it allows a trader to see where the directional bearings are for a given stock. Are buyers more represented? Are sellers dominating? Both these indicators help I determining this general direction of the marketplace. CFs prevailing reading for its 14-day RSI is 52.26%; this means, on current reading, that the stock is neutral, suggesting that the stock is relatively stable in terms of potential price directional movement in either direction. The stochastic reading offers a supplementary outlook for directional movement of CF. Stochastic readings amassed over the last thirty days have created a score of 44.64%. This indicates that the stock is neither overbought or oversold at current levels.
If two indicators are good at shedding light on the viability of a trade then layering other indicators on top of the process can only be good. This is why adding performance indicators into the mix are always a good idea. A picture is by now surely emerging on the directional thrust of (CF); that emerging picture is proving to be a magnet for traders that have previously shown an interest. The -1.29 has manifested a negative reading in the last month or so of trading since it began its initial directional move. Longer-term, the stock has underperform the S&P 500 by -13.71%. This has created higher daily volatility when matched with stocks of the same class. Things look the same when measured historically. Historical volatility provides a measure of 28.74%. CF therefore offers a handy picture of overall momentum based on the foregoing measures. The last, but certainly not least, indicator that helps paint the overall picture of viability is the average true range which is currently 3.39. Combined, all the indicators when synchronized properly can yield excellent trading results.
Based on the outlined overall trading picture for CF, it is clear that traders have a lot to go on in making up their minds on the stocks viability. This proves in no small measure that technicals can be crucial in having any kind of success.

Tigers’ CF picture still unclear as camp winds down – The Detroit News
Posted: March 29, 2017 at 11:28 am
Tigers utilityman Andrew Romine played in center field Monday.(Photo: Robin Buckson / Detroit News)
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Its like a game show, this quest to determine who will play center field for the Tigers.
Theres a certain suspense, the anticipation of a surprise, as nearly a half-dozen options remain for a critical up-the-middle position less than a week before Opening Day.
Andrew Romine started in center for the Tigers in Mondays mini-disaster at Champion Stadium, where the Braves beat up on the Tigers, 11-3, raking Tigers pitchers for 19 hits.
Romine was in center while Mikie Mahtook started in left. Tyler Collins was in right, while JaCoby Jones later replaced Romine, who had his share of work on a night when starter Daniel Norris was raked for some deep drives to center.
He did fine out there, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said of Romine. He moves fine after the ball.
Alex Presley is another contender for a job that appears no closer to being settled.
While its not clear who will start in Mondays opener against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, the Tigers will at least settle on a 25-man roster by the end of the week.
Ausmus said Monday the list would not necessarily be determined Thursday, the day before the team departs Lakeland for a pair of games against the Marlins ahead of the Tigers Saturday night flight to Chicago.
Consolation prize
The Tigers had 11 hits in Mondays tumble to the Braves all of them singles.
Nick Castellanos had a pair of singles as well as a deep drive to left field that might have been hurt by an in-blowing evening breeze and is batting .377. Miguel Cabreras two singles bumped his Grapefruit League average to .391.
Healthy McCann aims to be 'tough out' for Tigers
And for a man who apparently has no job, Omar Infante continues to behave as if hes a Tigers regular.
Infante also had two singles Monday and is batting .351 as he showcases himself, to the Tigers and other clubs, in a bid at age 35 to get regular big-league work.
Stretch drive
Among those still auditioning for bullpen jobs, Blaine Hardy, who by no means has a spot locked up, came through again Monday, pitching 12/3 innings of scoreless relief. His ERA for the Grapefruit League season is 3.97, one of the better numbers among Detroits back-end corps.
Its still far from clear how Ausmus and general manager Al Avila will configure the Tigers relief gang.
Hardy would likely make it a trio of left-handers, which isnt a conventional bullpen arrangement. But its unclear that the Tigers will follow anything terribly traditional as they decide on a final 12 pitchers, including a Tigers rotation that has yet to be announced, much less solidified.

Hospital District commits $6M for CF health science center – Ocala
Posted: at 11:28 am
Fred Hiers @Hiersnews
The College of Central Florida now has a $6 million commitment in hand from the Marion County Hospital District, a local down payment meant to use as leverage as the college asks the Florida Legislature for another $23.7 million in matching funds to build a state-of-the-art health science center.
This is a huge decision for Marion County. This will go a long way (in convincing Florida lawmakers to approve the states share), said CF President James Henningsen after the unanimous Hospital District vote to award the money.
The district owns Munroe Regional Medical Center and Munroe's Medical Park at TimberRidge and leases those properties to Community Health Systems in exchange for $212 million and a 40-year-long lease. The district invests that money and with the proceeds doles out grants to local non-profits to fund health care related activities.
Henningsen told the district trustees that the commitment puts the college in a better position as it asks the Florida Legislature for another $23.7 million in matching funds. Henningsen said he will ask the state for $2.5 million this year and the rest over the next four or five years.
The districts commitment is good for eight years and the district releases 20 percent in matching the amount each year that the college receives from the state.
Henningsen told the district trustees during their monthly meeting Monday that he feels confident that the college will get its first portion of state grant money.
The $2.5 million is not a heavy lift, Henningsen said. We can get the ball across the goal line, from the states perspective, in eight years.
He added that the more realistic timeline for getting the states share is five years and that barring something unforeseen, the state will likely give the college money each year until its paid off.
Former Florida House Speaker Larry Cretul, who works on behalf of the colleges foundation in trying to convince state lawmakers to give money, said that with the district commitment he was cautiously optimistic of getting state funding for the project.
Cretul said the colleges request was ranked 16th on the states list of 25 such requests for money. The request is no surprise to state lawmakers because the college had been talking with Tallahassee representatives for the past two years about its need for the money, he said.
Henningsen explained to trustees that the college had a donor lined up but at the 11th hour he donated the money to another college. The colleges current health science center is 30 years old. While the equipment inside is new, state accreditation officials warned the college that in eight years it should be on its way in building a new facility, Henningsen told trustees.
The new building would be used to train students in nursing, emergency medical services, physical therapy, surgical support services and dental hygiene. The college's plan to create more room to train dental hygienists fits with one of the Hospital District's goals: funding programs to provide more dental care to the adult poor.
There are currently 225 associate degree nursing students enrolled at CF. The new building would allow that number to increase to 300, college spokeswoman Lois Brauckmuller told the Star-Banner.
The new facility also would allow the college to double its Bachelor of Science nursing program from the current 75 students to 150.
The college currently has 14 students in its dental assistant program. The new building would allow the college to start a dental hygiene program to include 30 students at any given time in the two-year program.
Trustee Dr. Ken Marino said the districts goal was to focus its grants on local issues and asked how many students would come from outside the area.
We get very few people from outside the region, Henningsen said, adding that many area students instead attend Santa Fe College.
Trustee Chairman David Cope said that he had some concerns that the college wanted the $6 million commitment to stand for as long as eight years.
Marion County Commissioner Kathy Bryant, who is a liaison for the commission to the district, said of the states funding that without the matching funds, its not going to go anywhere.
Cope said after the Monday meeting that he had expected some resistance from other trustees to an eight-year-long commitment.
I thought we were going to get a little more robust discussion about the terms of the commitment, but the pleasure of the board was to approve the eight years, he said. And I just cant imagine (the state) not funding 100 percent of (its share) of the construction project (once its already starting funding permitting and design of the project).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is the most visible stock index in the United States, but that doesnt make it the best. In fact, the industry standard for market watchers and institutional investors in gauging portfolio performance is the S&P 500.
The DJIA relies on just 30 stocks as a sample of large- and mega-cap firms, dwarfed by the 500 contained in the S&P 500, and it also weights its returns using an outdated and flawed price-weighting method. The S&P 500s weighting is based on market cap, making it a much better representation of actual market performance for large- and mega-cap stocks.

Laughter, song in memory of Dr. CF Johnson – The Star
Posted: at 11:28 am
Longtime North Augusta resident Dr. C.F. Johnson, who died of liver cancer March 17, 2016, was the focal point of a March 24 memorial event at St. Pauls Episcopal Church, with a soundtrack courtesy ofpianist Jeff Perks, Johnsons brother-in-law; pianist Payton Velligan, 16, one of Perks' students; and cellist Justin Resley, one of Johnsons medical cohorts.
Johnson, 65, who died of liver cancer March 17, 2016, was married to Donna Johnson, and was recalled in the memorial gathering as a "man's man" and "doctor's doctor," in the words of Dr. Randy Cooper, one of his University Hospital compatriots. Cooper described Johnson, one of North Augusta's most enthusiastic coaches and sports boosters, as being exemplary in terms of generosity in reaching out to help others, to the extent that he helped open doors for student-athletes to attend college, on occasion for the first time in a particular family's history.
Perks, who lives in the Charlotte area, led the way in a concert, offering a variety of musical selections and accompanying stories from his years of growth from student to professional. Along the way, he shared some memories from the late anesthesiologists life, and audience members were invited to attend a reception and contribute to University Health Care Foundations drive to support the hospitals new emergency departments pediatric and minor-treatment pod, to be named in Johnsons memory.
Among the dozens of event sponsors were the Johnson family, Randy and Lindsay Berry, Dr. Greg Gay, Turner's Keyboards and the Moglia Family Foundation.

CF Expansion Project complete – News – Gonzales Weekly Citizen … – Weekly Citizen
Posted: at 11:28 am
In 2016, the Donaldsonville Expansion Project was completed adding 93 additional permanent CF jobs to the existing workforce.
When it was announced in late 2012, the more than two billion dollar expansion was the largest economic development project in Ascension Parish history and included more than 5,500 construction workers at its peak.
The project increased annual shippable product at the site by more than 50%, making the Donaldsonville site the largest of its kind in the world. It included the worlds largest operating single-train UAN plant and the largest ammonia plant by nameplate capacity in the world, sharing that distinction with three ammonia plants in Saudi Arabia.
The project also included a 3,850 ton-per-day urea plant (identical to Port Neals urea plant) as well as expanded product storage and rail facilities including unit train capabilities.
The project required more than 20 million construction man-hours and was completed with a total recordable incident rate (TRIR) of 0.36, well below the industry average.
The Donaldsonville Nitrogen Complex, owned by CF Industries, is a global leader in the manufacture and distribution of nitrogen-based plant nutrients used by farmers worldwide.
The complex is located on the west side of the Mississippi River near the city of Donaldsonville, Louisiana. The complex encompasses nearly 1,400 acres and is capable of producing more than 10 million gross tons of fertilizer product annually including anhydrous ammonia, granular urea, and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). The site will also begin producing diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in August of 2017. With the completion of the expansion project in September 2016, the complex became the worlds largest nitrogen manufacturing site.
The Donaldsonville location was selected due to its proximity to abundant North American natural gas which serves as the key raw material in the synthesis of ammonia, the most basic nitrogen fertilizer product.
Mississippi River access provides a key transportation route for northbound barging fleets which deliver product to interior major crop producing states, as well as providing access to ocean-going vessels to destinations such as Europe, South America and Asia. Its products can be shipped via pipeline, rail, truck, as well as barge and ship through one of five marine docks.
Today, the sites state-of-the-art production capabilities, coupled with its unparalleled flexibility in changing product mix to suit product demand, make it unique in the industry. Accounting for nearly 40% of the companys production capacity, the Donaldsonville site remains well positioned some 50 years after the first ammonia plant came online in December 1966.

Editorial: $6 million for CF – Ocala
Posted: March 27, 2017 at 4:58 am
A request by the College of Central Florida for a $6 million grant from the Marion County Hospital District is unique among those sought from the $212 million windfall the district reaped after leasing Munroe Regional Medical Center.
First, it is for more money than the district has doled out altogether $4 million, so far in its first two years funding health and well-being programs throughout the community. Second, the money is sought to help build a new $28 million health sciences building on the CF campus, the first request for hospital district money for infrastructure. Finally, it came after the grant deadline.
That said, when the hospital district trustees meet Monday to consider CFs request, they should approve it.
The health science building has been the colleges No. 1 priority for the past four years. Besides not being adequate to meet student or community demand for its nursing, emergency medical services, dental assistant, physical therapy and surgical support services programs, the 30-plus-year-old building simply is obsolete for 21st century health services instruction.
The money is needed to provide local matching funding that would open the door to a possible $23.7 million state grant. State Rep. Charlie Stone, R-Ocala, is sponsoring that measure, and CF President Jim Henningsen said that a 20 percent local match earns applicants for the state money a perfect score, thus greatly enhancing increasing the colleges chances.
While the Hospital District board has been conservative in spending the $212 million in cash Community Health Systems paid it to lease Munroe for 40 years, its members have also acknowledged there will be times when they need to spend larger amounts for the long-term betterment of the community. This is one of those times.
As hospital trustee Chairman David Cope noted, the credibility of CF is pretty well established. Indeed, CF is annually among the nations best community colleges and it has been recognized for its student- and community friendly programs, including for veterans, and most recently, as one of the nations top 50 colleges for adult students.
Beyond that, we have a large senior population that is growing daily, and providing sufficient and proficient health care workers is an existing challenge that is only likely to grow worse. Plus, with the lack of dental care a veritable epidemic in Marion County and one of the Hospital Districts priorities, the new health sciences building would allow for the establishment of a dental hygienist program none exists in Marion County along with expansion of other dental training programs.
The Hospital Board will meet Monday to consider the CF request. The board should approve it. The new facility would increase the number of nursing students at CF by 50 percent, from 300 to 450; would put all the colleges health-related programs in one building; and would enhance the local health care workforce for decades to come.
The hospital trustees have been prudent in handling the communitys millions. The committee, consisting of five of the seven district trustees, voted unanimously to recommend the grant, with conditions: The district money would not be handed over unless the state grant is awarded, a dental hygiene program must be priority, and any payments from the $6 million would be made in conjunction with state allocations. These are reasonable requests, which Henningsen quickly agreed to.
The college and the community needs a bigger and better health services facility. The Hospital District has the money, money that is intended to improve health care in our community. This is a natural and obvious choice for the trustees that will pay dividends for decades. We urge them to follow through on the committees recommendation, including the conditions, and award the grant.

The College of Central Florida has been named one of the nations best colleges for nontraditional undergraduates,defined asstudents who have children and didnt immediately enroll in college after high school.
CF ranks No. 30 on the latest 50 Best Colleges for Adult Education list created by GreatValueColleges.net. The website used adult education data supplied by the National Center for Education and data from U.S. News & World Report. The editors of the website also searched each school's website and researched how many awards the institutions have won.
With more and more adult students entering and continuing college, its important that colleges and universities recognize that many of these older students are balancing full-time jobs, families and more, according to the Great Value Colleges report. Luckily, there are plenty of top ranking colleges and universities out there that put in the extra effort to accommodate adult and military students.
The report noted that many of these colleges offer affordable tuition, with a majority charging less than $15,000 to obtain degrees or certifications.
Researchers used U.S. News & World Report data to determine the 100 colleges and universities with the highest percentage of students older than 25. Great Value Colleges then selected the top 50 from that list by examining school performance in eight categories: affordability, bachelors degree programs, online degree programs, graduate degree programs, nontraditional student programs, student-faculty ratio, student retention, and academic awards and recognition.
We were particularly impressed by CFs flexible online and on-campus degree programs, said Gabrielle Kratsas, Great Value Colleges editor, in a statement released by CF.
CF President Jim Henningsen said in a statement that providing high-quality degrees and certificates is at the heart of the colleges mission.
Rankings like this affirm that we are succeeding and are a nice pat on the back, Henningsen noted. For me, however, the real affirmation comes when our graduates find employment and share how CF put them on the path to success.
CFs average price tag for its programs was $6,746 in 2015-16, according to the report. Last June, CF was ranked the 20th most affordable college in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Education. The average age of a CF student is 27.3.
The Great Value Colleges site looked at what the National Center for Education Statistics defined as nontraditional undergraduates: students who delayed enrollment in postsecondary education by at least one year; students who have dependents other than a spouse, including those who are single parents; students who work full time while enrolled and are financially independent from their parents; and students who received a GED or other nonstandard high school certificate of completion.
The report noted that CF is among the most affordable and that it offers a variety of degree programs with flexible schedules for its adult learners.
Some of these are available completely online, like the bachelors degree in business and organizational management, bachelors degree in nursing, four associate degrees and 11 certificate programs, the report noted.
Besides those online courses, the website editors were impressed with CFs commitment to veterans and its online resources for students, including Career Coach to get students working in the field of their choice.
CF was the only Florida college or university to make the Top 50. CF scored 8 out of 16 possible points. The University of Alaska-Fairbanks was ranked No. 1 and was the only institution to score 16 out of 16.
