ATM flexing muscles with litigation on A2 copyright in three linked but seperate cases. Link Here.
More info on Mataura Milk see here. Desperate for a capital injection. Interesting to see how this plays out.
I too have concerns. ATM's 'capital light' stance has been a great success and has placed them in an enviable debt free/cash rich position. I would hate to see that position squandered.
That said, the current management team are very astute and I've got a lot of faith in them.
Also Mataura is not done and dusted....... so let's and see what comes to pass.
And yes, A2 did increase their ownership of Synlait, however I suspect the prospect of ATM spreading their risks and not having all their eggs in one basket (so to speak) is very sensible (if they can manage it.)
I bet ATM are looking hard at some USA acquisitions too. Then again, they may well steer clear of acquisitions and stick to the strategic stake route that has worked so well for them so far.
Forgive my ramblings, but it's fascinating to observe.
Methane rising at rates in line with 3C heating by 2100
https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/...eating-by-2100
Rice paddies, cows’ and sheeps’ guts and landfills all produce methane by creating an oxygen-free environment where methane-making microbes thrive.
Natural sources are also a large contributor, making an estimated 40 per cent of the output, compared with 60 per cent from people’s activities.
Natural methane emissions are dominated by wetlands, with much smaller contributions from other sources, such as wild animals.
Even wild termites are a non-trivial source of the greenhouse gas, the study shows. Like cows, termites produce methane when they digest plants.
Everyone has their own thinking and theory regarding to info's, news... which might lead them to their own decision on a stock. There for ,due to endless debate I won't put my own thinking on but just posting the article for people to gain or adjust their though on what is actually going on.
Can someone tell me why A2 SP crashes at 12pm on most days? Cheers
Of course it goes both ways.... some traders claim to have done well trading the differences between the markets.
Speaking of Traders, I came across this video via a HC post. He says (if I surmise correctly) that Trading in ATM/A2M was on of his biggest mistakes. In one year he made approx 100% trading A2M....... but if he had just bought and held through that same year he would have made over 200%..... and much more if he had held longer. In short he regrets trading v holding (and doesn't even mention the tax impacts!) Here's the video link FYI. (and yes, he's an Aussie.)
Anyone out there with similar experiences?
(Disc - Held since before this Aussie woke up!)
Not with ATM (yet) but if I'd held on to every stock I've traded since March, I would be at least double the gains I've made through trading in that time, which in itself has been pretty respectable. But you can only work with what you know and I for one certainly wasn't expecting this V like bounce and associated craziness.
Anyone out there with similar experiences?
I was one of those. I have done both... traded and held some for long term as well. I made some good money with A2 and paid a decent chunk of taxes too (it is all good). I would have made a lot lot more if I had not traded so much. But hindsight is such a beautiful thing isn't it?
Same, if i had bought and held ATM when i started trading it back in Nov 2019 i would have been better off just holding. Can't same the same for the other shares i have been trading though.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Dotbond, Longy, Cyclical. I often wonder about the relative merits of Trading v holding long.
