    In all transparency I invested nickels and dimes. This will be a good learning experience for me.

    I did my research on A2 milk and I found it to be a healthy stock to invest in. Evidence suggests I'm helping the world become healthier.

    ATM appears to have a good plan ahead, my question was meaning more along the lines of, surely if they're going to be $5.xx longer term then what does it matter if SirPrize bought at 0.74 vs 0.77 or even missing say 0.40 etc if his/her plan is to hold... Therefore do you believe they're not going to make it to $5.xx and why? I appreciate P.E is high but you get my point.

    As Moosie said, it's all learning. I don't currently hold ATM or a lot of the stocks I'm following. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible before I start throwing the large sums around hence my question

    Cheers,

    NBT

    I agree with Hoop - I'm a couple of years late. Nevertheless I still think it might prove beneficial.

    The warmer world link was very interesting. Thanks for that. This might be good for A2 Milk in the future as perhaps we'll have have to pick which cows are more important than others.

    Not great seeing the Managing Director sell off 40% and another Director sell nearly 30%....I'm not a fan of that at all, especially considering it is just under that resistance line we've talked about. I know people sell for a variety of reasons, but two of them selling up at the same time is not the best look it has to be said. I like to see directors buying, not selling.

    Latest release below, Babidge and Mair selling down their respective holdings. Babidge still has 6 m but currently is restricted on selling 5.5m of those, not sure how long? The part of interest to me is at the end, "In the interest of alignment with shareholders...waffle.. waffle... conditionally approved the issue of another 5 million partly paid shares to Geoffrey Babidge"
    Does this mean 5million issued at no cost? $3.5m bucks worth? Or am I reading this wrong? If so seems more than a bit rich to me.




    REL: 1135 HRS A2 Corporation Limited
    GENERAL: ATM: Approval of sale of A2C shares
    A2 Corporation Limited ("A2C" or the "Company") wishes to advise that it has
    approved the sale of A2C shares by trusts associated with Managing Director,
    Geoffrey Babidge and Director, David Mair pursuant to A2C's Share Trading
    Policy.
    David Mair has a relevant interest in 2 million fully paid ordinary shares
    held by the DM2 Investment Trust.
    Following the sale of those shares by the DM2 Investment Trust, David Mair
    will still hold 5 million partly paid ordinary shares with an issue price of
    $0.10 which were issued to him in September 2009 under the A2C group's
    ownership-based compensation scheme for executives and senior employees, when
    he was an Executive Director of A2C. David has indicated that he currently
    has no intention to sell any of his remaining 5 million shares in the
    foreseeable future.
    Geoffrey Babidge was issued with 10 million partly paid ordinary shares with
    an issue price of $0.10 in August 2010 under the A2C group's ownership-based
    compensation scheme for executives and senior employees. Those shares are
    currently held by the GHB Investment Trust.
    When Geoffrey Babidge relinquished his role as Chief Executive Officer of
    Freedom Foods Group Limited ("FFG") he forewent the benefit of options in
    respect of FFG shares. The GHB Investment Trust will use the proceeds of the
    sale of 4 million fully paid shares to reduce debt and to meet other
    commitments.
    Following the sale the GHB Investment Trust will still hold 6 million A2C
    shares, of which 5.5 million currently remain subject to transfer
    restrictions. The trust has indicated that it currently has no intention to
    sell any of its remaining A2C shares in the foreseeable future.
    Cliff Cook said "I am personally delighted that key contributors to A2C are
    able to benefit from the incentive arrangements that have been put in place
    to reward success and align the interests of A2C's senior executives with its
    shareholders."
    In the interests of maintaining longer term alignment with shareholders, the
    A2C board has conditionally approved the issue of a further 5 million partly
    paid shares to Geoffrey Babidge, subject to A2C shareholder approval. That
    issue will be considered by shareholders at A2C's annual general meeting
    which is currently scheduled to take place on 19 November 2013. A notice of
    meeting will be sent to shareholders in due course.

    And worse, they then want to issue another 5mill partly paid to one of them, who 'sacrificed' some upside at his previous role.

    extracting the urine aren't they?

    Welcome to the forum Okay,

    I don't begrudge Geoff Babidge selling a few shares actually, he's performed a fantastic job for ATM and shareholders alike. Perhaps he'll build himself a nice mansion, well deserved I say.

    Not so sure about just issuing another 5 million more shares though, but we all get a vote at the AGM, if you are passionate about this I'll see you there with you're arm raised.
