Chicago Ag Trade #1- Outrageous Outperformance

Corn, fertilizer and John Deere tractors are among the most sought after items in this country. The surge in demand has revitalized America’s heartland and the city where it’s bought and sold is Chicago.

But some investors worry that the run is done. Here are the latest ways to profit from the "Great American Ag Trade?"

Forget about the straight ag plays  such as Deere [DE  Loading...      ()   ], Monsanto [MON  Loading...      ()   ] and Potash [POT  Loading...      ()   ], says Pete Najarian. That run is done.

But I still see room on the upside for shippers. Check out DryShips[DRYS  Loading...      ()   ] or Diana Shipping [DSX  Loading...      ()   ], he counsels

I think DuPont [DD  Loading...      ()   ] is the way to go, counters Guy Adami.

Chicago Ag Trade #2 - Chicago's Tastiest Trade

Should you gobble up Illinois-based McDonald's ahead of its annual meeting Thursday?

I think McDonald’s [MCD  Loading...      ()   ] is a great company. But I like Burger King[BKC  Loading...      ()   ] better, says Jeff Macke.

McDoanld’s is the play, counters Guy Adami.

I like both fast food stocks, Pete Najarian exclaims.
