Normally I'm not the kind of person to catch a falling knife, but at this point the stock looks good. (SMG)

Plenty of horizontal support at $24. I'm thinking going long via options tomorrow at open. A modest bounce to 27 over the next few days doesn't seem out of reach.

Any takers?

I'm not too worried about the fundamentals. This stock is down big the last few weeks/months and I think $24 per share is where it bounces.

its p/e ratio still high at these levels (18). I am not sure that it is a bargain.

In the midst of a national recall of a fertilizer that contained an unregistered herbicide, the Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has told investors that it has found new issues with the registrations of other products.

In a June 4 Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Scotts reported finding "certain discrepancies in its registration records with respect to several additional products."
