Member Info for idg69

Thanks for the info MASK231, that's a cracking holding you've got there with a great entry price. That magazine article will have served you very well in years to come when we're up in the £££'s and not pence. I see a happy retirement coming your way. I'd like to accrue another 40,000 over the next quarter and have a pause at 150,000. In years gone buy I would have panicked at this recent drop in price but I actually don't mind now as I just see it as an opportunity to top up. Wishing you well idg69

Morning Mazk231, hope you’re keeping well. You did well to get in at 8p, I’m very envious of you. I hadn’t come across ANIC until they were in the mid 20’s and regret not hearing about them earlier as I would have piled in at a much lower price. When you say you hold tons, how many are you holding? And are you still buying or holding?

Cheers Gonsan - I'm feeling your excitement and it's in no way trivial, I like to hear this stuff from a fellow investor, it make s the board more of a community. We are in the same boat my friend. My son is 18 and fired up for Agronomics too and wants to put is full CTF into ANIC which will take him over my holding of 110,000. I'm pretty happy for him to do this as it will be a comfortable house deposit for him in 7-12 years time - who knows he might be able to buy it cash. You won't be holding losses for long at 23p, I'm at 25p average and very comfortable with this and still continuing to buy at 18-19p. I'm using the last of my ISA entitlement for this year in the next few weeks to top up.

Stay happy, keep the faith and all will be sunny in a few years time. idg69

Cheers Mazk231, I stand corrected and apologize for my error.

My final reply on this subject and then I'm off this topic too. Altinvestor, you are right to point out the backstory, pragmatism as a part to play, tough decisions have to be made and I'm glad you point out it's a sad fact of life - but it really needn't be is the point I'm hoping to make. If governments stop subsidising this industry and consumers switch to plant based and healthier alternatives the pain and suffering of these animals would reduce and ultimately stop. Precision fermentation will hopefully speed up the demise of this industry.

Modern dairy cattle only get this big and heavy because of the antibiotic laden feeds and amounts they consume to produce the volumes of milk they now have to for the dairy industry, plus they are literally exhausted. I'm pretty sure that pasture fed cows from years gone by didn't buckle under their own weight (it's like modern day broiler chicken breeds whose legs collapse because they can't hold up their body weight). Panorama did fail to say why these cows collapse under their own weight which I hope I have clarified.

I'm really pleased you're invested in ANIC for reasons of ending this cruelty to our fellow earthlings. I'm sure we are all in this share for the right reasons. WIshing you well, idg69

Dragging a cow across a concrete farmyard by its hip bones hoisted high with its head dragging on the floor is hardly necessary force. You call it pragmatism, I call it cruelty. You say there is little room for emotion, why not? Whats wrong with showing some compassion to another sentient being. I think you and I will just have to agree to disagree. I don’t understand how you can believe that sort of behaviour is justifiable.

Very True Warren - If you think that was painful viewing I challenge you to watch either 'Earthlings' or 'Land of Hope and Glory' two really tough documentaries on YouTube showing how abhorrent man can be to our fellow sentient beings on this planet. I guarantee it will turn you vegan overnight!

It's hard to comprehend we have such a barbaric industry that not only inflicts huge amounts of pain and suffering on billions of animals but contributes massively to climate/habitat destruction at an alarming rate whilst making humans chronically sick in the process - you couldn't make it up.

On a lighter note, we are bumbling nicely along in 'top up territory' at the moment.

BBC 1 panorama this evening showing the truth about the uk dairy industry. The sooner precision fermentation takes off we can stop the cruelty inflicted daily on many millions of animals.

Hi Mazk, I certainly wouldn't tar you with the same brush. I hope these are isolated incidences and I'm sure you wouldn't behave in such a way to your herd, though you can't deny the practice of dairy farming by the nature of what happens to deny the calf its mothers milk so humans can take it is cruel, unethical and plain wrong. We are the only species on the planet who takes the milk of another mammal to drink, it's a weird concept when you think about it. Wishing you well idg69

This is the truth about the UK dairy industry.

The BBC don't show this on countryfile.

I agree Admiral70. Precision fermentation will scale up and commercialise much quicker than the cell-ag meat production so excellent that we are in that space with Formo. The conventional dairy industry is going to decline rapidly, it's already on a knife edge and propped up on subsidies

I like the sound of £1 in 2 years. Once this tech gains traction the speed of change will be much faster than first anticipated.

No problem at all Spirit. There is so much good stuff out there in the media right now if you dig around. Just finished listening to the GFI's 2020 Symposium on Fermentation on YouTube and it's great to get a handle on the science and scale of the opportunities coming down the pipes. We are entering a massive upending of food production methods and the coming years are going to see so much change - a food revolution is upon us. The average consumer won't even be aware of the changes in many cases but the savvy investors putting money on the right horses are going to see enormous returns. Very happy to be invested in ANIC.

We are on the cusp of a major disruption in how we feed ourselves. This video is a quick summary of a report from RethinkX on where agriculture is headed over the next decade, and it's mind blowing!

RWT2 - Couldn't agree more with your points. Not a share to watch (worry about) daily, weekly or even monthly, unless of course you need to know when the buying dips occur. I don't like the 15% Mellon cut either but at least he has a lot of skin in the game. I appreciate he has the funds and this is very much his baby but there are a lot of AIM stocks out there where the BoD's don't put their money where their mouth is. I'll keep topping up on the lows and review my position in 2025.

This board is turning into a bickering festival. Please just stop it!

You could be right on that one, I hope not, but who knows - only Putin I suspect.

Great buying opportunity at 18p. Just had another little top up myself. A few positive industry/portfolio company announcements and this will bounce back over the 20-25p mark. If this stays sub 20 until the end of March I'll use what's left of this years ISA entitlement to buy more.

It's just general market sentiment today and nothing specific to ANIC - the whole market is down and the boards are awash with red. I'll just keep buying on the dips for this will be many multiples of this price in the coming years.

Very interesting read, though very sad when 728 million people in the world are living in hunger and poverty when we breed, feed and slaughter upwards of 60 billion animals each year to feed humans. No man woman or child on this planet should ever go hungry. Stop growing food for animals, stop eating animals and grow real food for humans to eat - the solutions are simple but won’t be adopted.

Just finished reading the 10th January Edison initiation report, very positive and encouraging stuff for the future of ANIC. Cult food science and Eat Beyond both get a small mention in the peer group comparison section but both are minnows compared to Agronomics and don’t have the funds or management expertise we have. Happy to keep building my position over the coming years and my only regret about ANIC is that I didn’t know about them earlier. I would have ploughed in at 5-10p instead of 20-25p and be sat on big profits earlier in the game.
