Here's latest from Prof Keith and it starts....
"The joint venture agreement between Fonterra and The a2 Milk Company (A2M) to work together producing dairy products free of A1 beta-casein is a seismic shift for both the New Zealand and global dairy industries."...

Fonterra has essentially conceded a decade long dispute of the impact A1 beta casein has on certain peoples stomachs.
Even though this is purely Fonterra jumping on-board the money train, the agreement has put a nail in the coffin of this long dispute between the two parties.

On the basis they can do a better job on capital return than a shareholder could if they got a dividend. So maybe there is a plant purchase in China on the horizon

The appeal of overseas food brands in China... is that they are from overseas.
Made in New Zealand and Australia is seen as premium over there.

I hope they steer well clear of plant in China......I can't think of many company's that have made China work. Better to use NZ/China/Aus free trade agreements and export into that market for the next few years. The premium for foreign brands will continue.... remember the melamine scandal!!??
In the video Peter Nathan said, "there was no capital used in the Frontera Deal." When you think about that.... and the benefits.... that's a huge steer to the way ATM should go. JMHO!!

So I had to take a step back and deliberately think that I am not a trader. I am no good at picking highs or lows. And I made the original buy decision with a five year window in mind. So I'm sitting here enjoying the last of my evening. not ruing the lost profits I didn't lock in and not worried about the market tomorrow. I know its going to drop
but the long term prospects are looking too good to be a worry.
Amen to that. Yes there could be a slight pullback but why sweat the small stuff ?. We're all "in clover" with this, just sit back relax and take a 5 year view and let your profits grow. I do find myself easily obsessed with looking at the SP though, hard not too in the last couple of days and like you I got tempted when it hit $14.50 the other day. But I slapped my own hand and said stay away from the sell button. This will be $5-6 or possibly even more in a few years time after the 5:1 share split along the way. Why dismount from a thoroughbred horse to ride some donkey that's not growing at anything like the pace ?

Just remember Babidge leaves later this year. His replacement will have her own agenda.

My gutometer has served me well since entry with an average buy in of 36c.
I have deliberated on an almost daily basis over the past 3 years whether to sell or not all the way until yesterday. Many times dollars in the bank seemed like the "right thing to do", lucky I didn't listen to myself then. instead Ive relied on the masters to speak so refer back to this post I made all the way back then.

And more to the point, how would I feel when this reaches $30-$45 next year.
GLTH...hang in there
