    Incidence of carbon-credit and carbon-debit falls on different parties.

    Those growing trees obtain plenty of credits - I have confirmed this with one of the biggest forestry companies in NZ. Their comment to me is that NZ investors and businesses are not suited to long term horizon business like forestry.

    So sadly, from when NZ companies owned most of the forests in NZ (NZ Forests Products, Fletcher Forests, Carter Holt Evergreen Forests etc etc etc), NZ now owns bugger all!

    Fall was predicted by divergance on MACD some time ago. Look on the bright side, could be some good buying coming up next week.

    Breathtaking accuracy indeed!

    Same charts and MACD also predicted Apple becoming the first trillion dollar value stock a few years ago?

    I'm not sure this is good news. "14 August 2018 – Rubicon announced today that Luke Moriarty, the Company’s CEO (and oneof its Directors), and Company Secretary/CFO Mark Taylor, have given notice of their intentionto finish their roles with the Company". Unless it is a cleaning of the decks and getting ready to sell Arborogen.
