If it works it grows exponentially? I am not sold on EV's. Bill must not be sold on them either? Ethanol in any form is not a new idea, so I see your point.
A Bill Gates fund invested $50 million in a startup that's building a massive refinery to turn alcohol into jet fuel
Summary:
A Bill Gates fund invested $50 million in a startup making sustainable aviation fuel from ethanol.

An organization founded by Bill Gates has granted a startup $50 million to build a massive refinery that produces sustainable aviation fuel from alcohol.
On Wednesday, LanzaJet announced it had received the funds from the Gates-led Breakthrough Energy fund, to continue work on its first commercial plant in Soperton, Georgia.
Sustainable aviation fuel is being explored by airlines as a way of making the industry more environmentally friendly. Currently, its adoption has been hampered due to the relatively low amounts produced.
The Soperton facility, known as the Freedom Pines Fuel Plant, is set to begin production in 2023. LanzaJet said the plant would produce nine million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel, and one million gallons of renewable diesel, per year when fully-operational.
The funds will help the company meet its development timeline for the plant, which will roughly double the amount of sustainable aviation fuel made in the US, LanzaJet said.
LanzaJet produces the fuel using ethanol from products like sugarcane and waste corn. The company said it will lower emissions by at least 70% compared with conventional aviation fuel.
Gates founded Breakthrough Energy to boost innovation and investment in clean energy technology. The $50 million grant comes from Microsoft Corporation, BlackRock Foundation, Builders Vision, and Gates, per Bloomberg.
It adds to the millions of dollars of support LanzaJet has already received, including a $14 million grant from the US Department of Energy, and a combined $200 million from backers including British Airways and Shell, per Bloomberg. In January, Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, also founded by Gates, invested another $50 million towards the project.
Commercial aviation contributes just over 2% of all human-induced C02 emissions. SAF is an important, albeit still minor, part of how airlines plan to reduce their climate impact, to meet the International Air Transport Association's goal of being net zero by 2050.
In December, United Airlines flew a passenger flight using 100% SAF. The Boeing 737 Max 8 flew from Chicago O'Hare to Washington DC with 500 gallons of SAF in one engine and 500 gallons of traditional jet fuel in the other.
And in March, Airbus flew an A380 superjumbo using fuel made from cooking oil.

Either way Besdin, No_Static is right, uncertainty is the devil of the markets. And RIBT's management currently represents the devil, not shareholders. Business partners like to keep some things secret. Under CEO John Short he told us at a CC that our Rice Bran was going into a chicken sausage, but could not say whose. They must have a way to post about a big deal worth so many dollars of revenue with out key facts.
We had a blue buy bar at about 2300 shares or 230,000 pre split. Must have been copy buying back in.

A really big deal with a major pet food company involving cats and dogs replacing yeast with SRB might require a lot of money. Thus bring in the Jersey company to get more rice for Golden Ridge, Mermentau and Lake Charles are already discussed as involved.. Nothing else makes sense. But, if so, they need to PR it yesterday. Otherwise, this is scary. No matter what is going on good or bad, MATERIAL INFORMATION IS BEING WITHHELD FROM SHAREHOLDERS.
Edson crossed my mind too. I'll give them slack til They PR this.
RIBT, at the 8/11 filings they had $5,000,000 cash. The were very close to cash flow neutral. I wonder what they did not tell us at the 8/11 CC. I totally lost confidence in the management.
Hearing aids are now available over the counter at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Best Buy
I don't know how one would invest in this.
Summary:
Walgreens on Monday started selling hearing aids over the counter at its stores for $799 a pair.
CVS is selling over the counter devices on its website with prices ranging from $199 to $999.
Best Buy this week will also start offering 20 different over-the-counter hearing aids online with prices ranging from $200 to $3,000.
Hy-Vee, a supermarket chain, will offer four different hearing aids online and in 34 locations across Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin this week.
The FDA issued a rule in August that allowed over-the-counter sales of hearing aids for adults ages 18 and older with mild to moderate hearing loss.

On August 11th, the future of RIBT NEVER LOOKED BETTER. I believe RIBT had 5M cash and was already shipping to a new customer. I don't know what they can come up with to save their credibility. They don't have much credibility at this terrible moment in the companies history. With what we were told on August 11th, I really don't think they told us the whole story.

RiceBran Technologies Taps Local Industry Expert to Enhance Golden Ridge Operations, Enabling Increased Focus on Value-Added Opportunities and Sustainable Profitability
https://greenstocknews.com/news/nasdaq/ribt/ricebran-taps-local-industry-expert-to-enhance-golden-ridge-operations-enabling-increased-focus-on-value-added-opportunities-and-sustainable-profitability
RiceBran Technologies (NASDAQ:RIBT) (the "Company"), a global leader in the development and manufacture of nutritional and functional ingredients derived from rice and other small and ancient grains for human food, nutraceutical, pet care and equine feed applications, announced it has formed an agreement with Gander Foods, LLC, a food industry consulting firm founded by rice industry veteran Steven Weinreb, under which Gander Foods will engage JT Ferguson, owner and operator of Cormier Rice, to provide management services to our Golden Ridge Rice Mills facility ("Golden Ridge"), enabling RiceBran to expand its focus on value-added ingredient opportunities.
Highlights of the Agreement:
Deal places sourcing, selling, and operations of Golden Ridge in hands of local expert.
RiceBran expects rapid improvement in Golden Ridge's adjusted EBITDA contribution.
Gander Foods expected to purchase RiceBran equity, aligning it with RiceBran's shareholders.
As part of the agreement, Mr. Ferguson, will oversee the day-to-day operations, for Golden Ridge. Mr. Ferguson is a third-generation rice miller of significant stature in the regional rice market. He brings an extensive network of local farmers for sourcing grain for the mill, with a proven track record of operating Cormier Rice.
"We have significantly improved operations at Golden Ridge over the past 18 months, driving an expected 30-40% increase in revenue in 2022 vs. 2021, following similar gains in 2021 vs. 2020," commented Peter Bradley, Executive Chairman of RiceBran. "This progress was the result of higher volumes, increased efficiencies, and higher milling yields. While these improvements have significantly reduced adjusted EBITDA losses for the mill, overall results have been constrained by our processes for sourcing and selling rice."
Mr. Bradley continued, "We expect rapid improvement in profitability at Golden Ridge from Mr. Ferguson's ability to implement the successful Cormier business model for grain sourcing and finished rice sales, and under Mr. Ferguson's guidance, Golden Ridge should be able to achieve further operating improvements. With these improvements, we believe there is an opportunity to expand the mill's production schedule from its current 5-days per week to 6 or 7 days per week, further increasing Golden Ridge's revenue and adjusted EBITDA."
The agreement is structured to align Gander Foods with RiceBran's shareholders. In exchange for Gander Foods' services, RiceBran will pay Gander Foods an initial one-time fee, and Gander Foods has agreed to use this payment to purchase unvested RiceBran common stock, which will vest in equal installments over three years, subject to Gander Foods' continuous service to Golden Ridge. Subsequently, Gander Foods will receive quarterly performance payments based on a percentage of Golden Ridge's positive adjusted EBITDA contribution and is expected to use these payments to purchase additional RiceBran common

I have been posting negative posts about soy for years. I guess i don't have a big following, lol.
SOY PROTEIN TOO BIG TO FAIL

dominated the plant protein

New SEC filing out. Issuing restricted shares, no new money to be raised, shares to cover Ganders fee. I find little about GANDER FOODS LLC. They are a new company in 2022. I would certainly expect a PR tomorrow. This could lead to something big? Hope so.

I have been trading stocks for 40 years, and I have NEVER seen average volume go from like 250,000 shares traded daily to less than 10,000 in a short period of time. I suspect someone is going to get very rich, and it won't be shorts since the most you can get is a "double your money"

I agree with the 5G possibility but maybe COVID so called vaccines as well.
I follow the Minneapolis papers obituaries. It started in the early 2000's when my dad died and my mother was 1/2 blind and could not read. I looked in the Obits for her friends. As time went on I started seeing my friends too. Any way... I saw the 2 week average before and during the COVID so called pandemic, the 2 week average was usually about 360. I wish I had kept track written down. But, it stayed about the same until like 6 weeks ago as it jumped to 450 for the two week average. Yes, it varied during COVID too, like around major holidays it was less and after more, few funerals around holidays.
Last week it was 450
This week 461, looking now tonight 472, tomorrows might have more. But I count Wednesday.
If this keeps going, that is scary. 25% and growing compounded each year and yikes.
I feel it could be COVID vaccines or 5G or a combination or both. In late July, in my condo with 36 units 3 residents had COVID(so their Dr's said) and all 3 had the 2 shots and 2 or 3 boosters. 1 had a booster 1 week earlier and I saw his black and blue tennis ball sized mark on his are 2 days after booster 3. Nobody else had it, and this building has many who have not had boosters. I am going to keep track weekly, hope this is a blip, but it has hung around here for 6+ weeks now.
gfp, where do you live? It would be fun to see how you local obits fair weekly. Numbers here get skewed upward on weekends. They might count 3 Sundays in the 2 week average or such. I always use Wednesday or my number.
