What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports JPMorgan upgraded Corteva from Neutral to Overweight. The stock is up nine point five percent. Vera, bull case. Dale, try to breathe.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA big bank said overweight, and so did my last three dates. Corn is the future, Hank. Corteva is basically farmland with a ticker.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne analyst changes a word and everyone stampedes. It's a bubble, Vera. You're a chicken running toward a combine harvester, wearing a lovely hat.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine point five percent in a morning! Dale, you've been bearish on crops since the Stone Age. Even the scarecrows are bullish.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorScarecrows are unemployed, Vera. The ten-year is at five point two seven five, and that's the real harvest. Everything gets plowed under eventually. Delightful.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe's giddy about dirt. Someone check his tea for fertilizer.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEnough. The desk verdict: Corteva is a casserole left on the counter. Hot, tempting, and nobody knows who made it. Moving on.
