My speculation was that Fredly threatens to sue because of his loss, and that Solomon offers him cheap stock (over the market) to compensate. I don't know the character of Fredly, but I fear that Solomon wouldn't even blink an eye if he had that option
Have you turned into the next Handl, are you just ironic, do you have information that we don't, and/or are you convinced that we'll have the TRW-debt-distribution and cash dividend announced soon?
Did you sell and buy back all those 177k shares?
If it's not people preparing for taxes (before the PPS possibly skyrockets), then it's arranged dumping (Solomon having done an dishonest deal with Fredly or whomever to avoid being sued - pure speculation from my part of course, but something seems fishy!)
The good thing with HERB for late-comers is that any position is a decent position Don't put too much into it though, it might go nowhere for a much longer period than SIAF - or what do you say RD?
Regarding SIAF then something should happen in the next 2-3 months at least, but maybe (I dare not say "likely" when it comes to Solomon) before. If the dilution ends, if we get the ex date for the cash dividend and/or the TRW-convertible debt, then the PPS should rise significantly from the current level (if nothing happens in the next 2-3 months on any of these issues, there might be even more blood).
Someone being very impatient then (and not knowledgeable about Merkur or not able to trade there)
I don't like the "end of the month" in your statement
Seems to me that both HERB and SIAF are the kind of "buy and forget, come back in a decade", but SIAF does have the possibility to turn around in a "few weeks" (and I don't mean by Solomon-language). Whether it will is a different question
Someone not realizing that they can get shares cheaper on Merkur? (now that is a statement that is rarely true!)
Not sure if Nordnet-users can vote. At least I haven't received any proxy
Seems like there was another buyer yesterday. The market is flooding with buyers now! lol (PS. No, it wasn't me yesterday)
My fear was confirmed then, but a bit strange that it only increased with 200k and not the 500k. Assuming that we suddenly have 500k treasury-shares, what would be the purpose of those?
Edit; The increase is 180k shares
Wasting? Oh, no, he's just being the kind samaritan. In this case that means spreading debunked lies over and over again. That shows character
Not sure if there is a lot of interest in that article, but here goes;
CP Foods kick-starts plan to convert Thai shrimp farms to indoor operations
Thai firm Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) has introduced its prototype indoor shrimp farm, which executive vice president for aquaculture business Premsak Wanuchsoontorn hopes will be the first of many.
According to Premsak, CPF’s aim is to transform all of its Thai shrimp farms into many smaller-scale indoor facilities.
“Currently, 15-20% of the company farms in Thailand are indoor. We expect a complete transformation in probably the next five years,” the vice president said in a press statement
CPF’s intention is to invest in new sustainable technologies that will mitigate risk factors from the external environment, such as disease and the evident impacts of climate change. The growing consumer demand for greater food safety, security, traceability, and sustainability is a also a factor in the company’s new direction.
The first step
CPF’s prototype farm has been set up in Chantaburi, 285km east of Bangkok, Thailand. Here, the farm, which is 960,000 square meters, has been used to develop many new farming techniques that have since been shared with other CPF facilities and local farmers.
The prototype vannamei farm uses recycled water that is then recirculated through the farming system, thereby drastically reducing water consumption while simultaneously reducing the contamination risk that intake water always brings. The water is then filtered by the company’s "ultra filtration" system, whose 0.2 micron pore size can filter out organisms even as small as viruses.
“Those two techniques will not only ensure zero wastewater but also prevent business risk from disease. It will guarantee fresh and safety shrimp production without antibiotics,” said Premsak.
Furthermore, the use of biofloc microorganisms to convert toxic materials and residue into edible proteins effectively kills two birds with one stone, the company said.
By removing toxic residues from the intake water, it means that it can stay in the system for longer – the prototype farm has already reduced its water consumption from 5-7 cubic meters to just 1.5 cubic meters per kilo of shrimp produced.
“The microbial community in biofloc can damage these residues,” Premsak explained. “As a result, the farming process uses less water and produces nearly zero waste.”
Premsak added that shrimp farming in the future will be more depended on automation to save man hours and reduce contamination from the human touch. The farm is now equipped with several automatic systems.
“Shrimp farmers are reluctant to invest in the closed-indoor farming due to high investment. Bangsrakao’s farm is working on the technique to lower the cost. We believe that, eventually, all shrimp farms will be indoor farm to mitigate the risk of diseases,” he said.
Thai base for premium shrimp
Earlier this year during an earnings call, CP told Undercurrent News that it intended to use Thailand as the center for producing larger-size, premium shrimp, while the company’s outlets in India and Vietnam would focus on mass production for the commodity market.
Sujint Thammasart, CEO of the company’s aquaculture business, said premium products will be key to improve the fortunes of Thai shrimp businesses, following sharp reductions in exports to the US and the EU.
Thai shrimp year-on-year export volume to the US in June dropped by 42%. Moreover, Thannasart explained, exports to the European Union market -- once a key space for Thai products -- have also declined since the cut off tax privilege under Generalized System of Preferences, or GSP, scheme on Thai shrimp in 2015.
Robins McIntosh, senior vice president at CP Foods, also told analysts that the company has developed an advanced breeding program to genetically improve strong and fast-growing shrimp from highly selected broodstock.
According to McIntosh, the new CP Foods baby shrimp are trusted by farmers thanks to their outstanding survival rate, low infection risk, and lower farming cost.
“Furthermore, the broodstocks are being sold to China and Vietnam,” he said.
In Mcintosh’s eyes the future of the shrimp industry will be dependent on how successfully they can produce “more with less”.
Ouch. Well Nordnet (at least in Norway) allows trading on OTC, but not for HERB. It seems I will be able to trade HERB on IB though
Strange indeed. The official number from Merkur is the same as OTC, i.e 47,072,949 (see the link below).
It would be strange is Netfonds got an update before Merkur (although you never know with Solomon...)

Yes, I was being sarcastic about Garret. He has proven to be a gentleman (as well as a businessman). I do wonder whether Solomon has left him out in the rain (diluting the crap out of us for peanuts) or if Garret declined in more deals with Solomon (being so heavily invested already).
Garret almost sounds as horrible as Shawn Anthony Mesaros. Luckily Solomon were able to avoid that croock
If my memory serves me (which it might not) then I believe the damages last year was 0.2MUSD - excluding the lost income from the lost products that is.
snow; they did include the loss of products in their estimate of less than 1MUSD, so it would be deliberate misleading information if you're right. However, they didn't say whether it is (less than 1MUSD) for SIAF shareholders or for SIAF including all subsidaries.
You will be missed for the 1-2 months it takes. Assuming you are able to stay away
Thanks. I don't think I can use LYNX, but it seems I am able to open an account with Interactive Brokers. Crossing my fingers
Let me help you then; Do you know of any that offers trading in HERB for Scandinavians? (my brokers refuse to trade non-reporting companies, but I would like to have a small piece of HERB)
EDIT; By Scandinavian I mean Norwegian (maybe Swedes are allowed to trade through Avanza, but Avanza only allows trading in swedish stocks for Norwegians...)
The new shares on the ask is one thing, but where will the buyers be after the dates are set? (I don't know) If (...) all Solomon's, Garret's and the collateral shares are on OTC, then there might not be enough shares there (assuming that there will be just as many buyers on OTC as there is on Merkur, but that might be wrong)
TRW got hit with a storm last year as well, negligable damage if you disregard the effect on the ponds. I.e I would assume that there are no big structural damage - or have you seen news about massive damage to cities around the farms?
