Congrats on being a parent seaweed:t_up:
That quote from Freedom was misinterpreted by a few. They only said the retain the right to sell in the mid term future - like any investor!
Interesting that they should talk about selling (scaring people) while actually buying.
These shares are just becoming more and more tightly held by big players. MAC is right, it's a rocket waiting to go, it just needs an announcement to push the fire button. Good luck trying to get some when it goes...
Disc Hold
My guess is that whatever their medium term intentions, FF know better than most that the ATM price is artificially depressed at present and this is a time to buy. They also specialise in supplying healthy foods to people who are only too happy to pay a premium, so they understand what lies ahead for ATM, whether they want to stay in or cash up and leave at some stage. JoshuaTree, have you got an updated list of the top 100 in ATM?
Very smart and interesting strategy by FF. Certainly sucked the market in by the "option to sell" comment on their latest report.
Would be interesting to see who the seller was for the volume that went thru recently. I'm picking that it is likely to be fund managers incl kiwisaver providers. Are you still out there Joshua tree?
I could not see any dates for any of the anti a2 commentary via the link that NT posted. I'm wondering how out of date those comments were?

NBR's article on the above - its free
That's exactly the point, Harrie. The site has actually been updated slightly in recent weeks, but it's a mess, and there's a lot of anti-A2 stuff which is mostly based on statements issued by food safety authorities about seven years ago.
At that time it was true to say there was insufficient clinical evidence for A2Corp to make any claims of health advantages in A2 milk (other than anecdotal). And more importantly for the FSAs, it was too early to issue any kind of public warnings that might make people scared to drink dairy milk and give it to their kids who need the nutrients.
The clinical evidence has accumulated since then, but the FSAs have not updated their advisories. The quandary they are in is this: There's now no real dispute that the digestion of A1 milk yields an opioid peptide (BCM7) which IN SOME CONSUMERS, ESPECIALLY SOME YOUNG INFANTS can get into the bloodstream and trigger nasty medical results including aspects of the autism syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome etc. But these effects still haven't been quantified, especially in humans, and no one is suggesting that the numbers of consumers affected is huge, so it would still be premature to start issuing health warnings about A1. It can be argued that the benefits of drinking milk with A1 still outweigh the known risks, and even the A2 Milk Company doesn't dispute that.
So, under pressure from the mainstream dairy industry the FSAs are doing nothing, just leaving up their old outdated stuff from 7 years ago that said there's no demonstrated health issue at all.
That is now garbage, especially since the Curtin trial but in fact since well before that. But what should they do?
In my view they should inform the public that there is now a growing body of scientific research indicating that SOME consumers react adversely to the A1 in standard milk, and there would be no harm in their trying A2 to see if it is helpful. That would be honest, it would have scientific integrity, and it would be good helpful advice that might in fact enable many consumers currently unable to tolerate dairy milk to embrace it.
The directors were issued partly paid shares so overall there was a dilution. They bought some shares to minimize the dilution. See the number of shares in class.
