Though higher ethanol prices have helped to close the profit gap in recent weeks, added production capacity is set to come on line this year. That will likely pressure ethanol pricing and profit margins further, and the added corn demand may push those prices higher as well. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080220/sector-snap-ethanol-stocks-fall-on-corn.htm Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:22:02 EST The president of the grain division at ethanol and grain producer Andersons Inc. sold 4,000 shares of common stock, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080213/andersons-executive-sells-4-000-shares.htm Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:56:30 EST Ethanol stocks fell Tuesday as investors expected high corn costs to maintain a stranglehold on profits, despite a recent improvement in ethanol prices. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080205/sector-glance-ethanol-stocks-decline.htm Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:16:14 EST Ethanol stocks mostly fell Monday after one of the largest ethanol producers said its fiscal second-quarter profit was hindered by lower prices for the fuel component. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080204/sector-snap-adm-leads-ethanol-lower.htm Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:15:30 EST
