Paul Fremont, Jefferies & Co.

Growing Your Profits With Ag Plays

"We're finding Brazilian aggregators...we're finding Russian aggregators like...Black Earth Farming [BLERF  Loading...      ()   ], but for the U.S. investors who wants to find something closer to home, I would definitely point people towards Deere [DE  Loading...      ()   ]...They're definitely a company that's going to benefit from the global demand for their high-tech agricultural machinery, as people try to find a way to raise their yield."

[On Johnson & Johnson] "They've finally integrated the Pfizer consumer-health acquisition...faster than we expected, so we believe that the performance will actually accelerate...J&J [JNJ  Loading...      ()   ] is so strong that we think there is something major on tap for them; not quite sure what, but they have the horsepower to do it."
