I still don't know. As a breakout player I have been whipsawed the last few months. Nice gains and then lose a lot of them. I'm pulling back for a bit.
New Waters--food ETF' s are few, but more coming out. All I know of is SGG-sugar, JO--coffee, NIB--cocoa, Corn-corn (the newest) BAL--cotton. I don't know why Jim Rgers put cotton in RJA foods?

Possible scenario for NTRZ
1. Short told CJ of the UCC something that totally altered the UCC's thinking. The UCC was about to have a meeting wth the BK judge about NTRZ being top heavy in management salaries. Shortly after, the UCC canceled that meeting and co wrote the POR with Z.
2. Short and Leo got highly unusual 4 year extensions of their contracts and big options right in the face of the UCC and the UCC did not care. Then Belt got hired with an unusually 4 year contract.
3. The reason could be that NTRZ is about to hand majority control over to a partner like GCFB recently did and that future partner gave Short, Leo and Belt 4 year protection of their jobs with approval of the UCC.
4. Alothon is specialized in South America, but Partners group bought in with Alothon in 2007. Partners Group markets various investment funds to clients with customized geographic focus (Asia-Pacific, emerging markets, European growth, US venture, etc.), investment style (direct investment funds, secondary funds, etc.) and liquidity terms (limited partnerships, SICAVs, SICARs, etc.).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partners_Group
How it works I have no idea, but it fits with no new BOD members and Alothon/Patners will want 5 of the 9. GCFB was in worse shape than NTRZ and hopefully a better deal and much more money if it happens the same way.
http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2010/12/28/granite-city-to-change-hands.html?ana=yfcpc
The above deal would explain Short, Leo and Belts 4 year contracts as if styled after GCFB, they would still be working for Z, but could be fired at any time, thus the insurance of the 4 year contracts.
I think the above could be SUPER. Z would have all the money they will need to license all over the world.Z could earn .50 per share in 2012 and get like 40% of that or .20 and a forward PE of 30 gets Z a $6.00 stock
Also note, Alothon/Partners would like those Herbal Science in there hands, thus the jockeying around about that issue.
Also, Alathons' Biagioni said they would be working with Z "In the rest of the world"--maybe he meant that.

The next few weeks could be interesting.
I would not like to be out of NTRZ, you might miss out.

Walmart to promote healthy food
Yet Another Walmart Initiative: Affordable, Healthy Food
01/21/2011
Walmart Stores Inc. on Jan. 20 unveiled a five-point initiative to improve Americans’ nutrition, including stocking foods with fewer negative ingredients and lowering the prices of healthier foods.
The effort, of course, will place a lot of pressure on food processors to cooperate. Walmart’s five points:
1. Reformulating thousands of everyday packaged food items by 2015 by reducing sodium 25 percent and added sugars 10 percent and by removing all remaining industrially produced trans fats. The company will work with suppliers to improve the nutritional quality of national brands and its Great Value private brand in key product categories.
2. Making healthier choices more affordable, saving customers approximately $1 billion per year on fresh fruits and vegetables through a variety of sourcing, pricing, and transportation and logistics initiatives that will drive unnecessary costs out of the supply chain. Walmart will also dramatically reduce or eliminate the price premium on key “better-for-you” items, such as reduced sodium, sugar or fat products.
3. Developing criteria for a simple front-of-package seal that will help consumers instantly identify truly healthier food options such as whole grain cereal, whole wheat pasta or unsweetened canned fruit.
4. Providing solutions to address “food deserts” by building stores in underserved communities that are in need of fresh and affordable groceries.
5. Increasing charitable support for nutrition programs that help educate consumers about healthier food solutions and choices.
“No family should have to choose between food that is healthier for them and food they can afford,” said Bill Simon, president/CEO of Walmart U.S. The company was joined by First Lady Michelle Obama at the Washington event.
The reformulation initiative includes three components:
* Reduce sodium by 25 percent in a broad category of grocery items, including grain products, luncheon meats, salad dressings and frozen entrees.
* Reduce added sugars by 10 percent in dairy items, sauces and fruit drinks.
* Remove all remaining industrially produced trans fats (partially hydrogenated fats and oils) in all packaged food products.

WNRC finally for me, lol
I bought at .10, but Rhino's stocks always come back and go up, lol. It has worked for me that way, anyway. I actually need a higher bid, but the chart looks great. Long haul holding for me.
I will keep my core RJA. I have been adding in the past few months. Great long term play. A correction and I may add more, but a bit ocer bought? I thought so at $9.00, lol.
Almost sold some yesterday morning, I'm still cautious. It's been a big run for a basic commodity since June.

" as well as the rest of the world"
That line in the new PR, does than mean Alothon is going to be a major partner " as well as the rest of the world". or is Biagioni talking about rice bran oil growing in the world in general. We'll find out soon.
We might have a LONG WAY to go judging by the few new posters here. I'd expect a stock up this much would have many new followers. And, most funds won't touch pink slips. The combination of many trend followers and funds could push us to the, who knows. This stock could be one mean mama
Postive story for RJA turns negative
Austrailian floods were thought of as bad, but new article says record crops might be the result.
2011 Toronto Star Newspapers Limited
The Toronto Star
Analysts say Australian disaster may bring massive crop outputs
January 20, 2011 Thursday
Floods to bring record wheat crop;
Rain that caused billions of dollars of destruction in Australia could propel wheat output in the fourth-largest exporter to a record next harvest and boost irrigated crops after floods swept parched land.
Heavy rains saturated soils, providing moisture for the next wheat-growing season and raising dam levels for irrigated crops such as cotton, Rabobank Groep NV analysts Wayne Gordon and Tracey Allen said Wednesday.
Rising wheat and cotton supplies from Australia may help curb global prices that soared last year on concerns that demand may outpace supply. Floods this month followed the country's wettest July-to-December on record, ending in some areas a decade-long drought and filling dams in the Murray-Darling Basin, which produces more than a third of the nation's food supply.
"It's plausible to see that we could plant and perhaps grow a record wheat crop in the coming year," Gordon said. Still, that depends on improved production in Western Australia, where drought persists, and "top-up" rains in the east, he said. The grain is mostly planted from April to June.
Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade gained 47 per cent last year after Russia's worst drought in at least 50 years prompted the country to ban exports and amid concern that rains would cut milling-quality supplies from Australia. The contract reached a five-month high of $8.25 (U.S.) a bushel on Jan. 3. Cotton on ICE Futures U.S. in New York reached a record $1.5912 a pound on Dec. 21.
Australia may produce 25 million tonnes of wheat from the current harvest, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week. Output may reach a record 26.8 million tonnes, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, known as Abares, estimated last month, as production in the east offset drought in the west.
The country produced 26.1 million tonnes in 2003-2004, according to Australian government data.
The bureau will update its estimate for the current harvest on Feb. 15 and release its 2011-2012 forecast on March 1.
Rainfall levels suggest Eastern Australia will produce another big crop this year, and history suggests it's unlikely Western Australia's crop will slump by the same amount for a second year, said Peter Rowe, Perth-based manager of agribusiness projects and strategy at Bankwest.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has called the flooding in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales was Australia's biggest natural disaster in economic terms. Rebuilding may cost as much as $20 billion (U.S.), or about 1.5 per cent of gross domestic product, economists from Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. Wrote.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has said the state's death toll could be as high as 32, and that 2.1 million people had been affected. The floods disrupted coal exports, damaged roads and rail networks and inundated farms.
The Murray-Darling Basin, which produces more than 90 per cent of Australia's cotton, had its wettest 12 months in 2010 after a record series of below-average rainfall years going back to 2001, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. Water storage's were 81 per cent full as of Jan. 12, compared with 26 per cent at the start of 2010, while dam levels outside the region have also increased.
"In terms of the longer-term benefits, we haven't seen storage's at these sort of levels for probably more than a decade," said Rabobank's Allen. "Across the basin it is security for irrigators moving into the next few seasons."

My Opinion about future of NTRZ
I think they are doing a great job of turning the company around and focusing on core competencies. Like I said, RBO, SRB and DFB done right will yield amazing results. They're on their way. I'm very excited about the future of RBO in particular because I keep ahead of the curve on industry news and if they can produce enough, they will attract big players. One thing I would LOVE to see is an extraction process that eliminates the solvents that are used. However for maintsream mass market use, it won't matter. But, for a customer like me who wants the very best quality that is the only way to go. I hope they install the stabilization equimpment at Irgovel. That would be a huge improvement from my perspective, plus it would open up South America for SRB distribution.
Don't forget the pharma play.... that is the icing on the cake of that happens, which I totally believe it will but will take time due to clinicals etc . But when it does, as they say in NYC.... fuggghetttaboutit.

I don't know
It always spooks me when the NASDAQ has a bad day and the DOW just so, so. It seems manipulators like to hjide what they are doing, and 2 or 3 DOW stocks can have phont rallies to hide the major market. I am skeptical of the rally continuing on the big stocks. I suppose I'll have egg on my face tomorrow.

I don't know what you call it, but the tight up slope the last month or so has been a great pattern lately. It is like holding a breakout stock before it breaks out and you make money while you wait.

Ingredient firms with small bio-business will generate acquisition interest.
More deals in the mould of Danisco-DuPont could be feasible, as analysts predict other ingredient firms with small bio-business, such as CSM, will generate acquisition interest.
DuPont began this week by revealing its plan to buy Danish ingredients biotech firm Danisco for US$6.2bn. While DuPont is certainly not turning its nose up at a thriving food ingredients business, its interest was driven mainly by Genencor, with which it has been long-term partner over second-generation biofuels.
In a conference call on Monday Danisco CEO Tom Knutsen said there had been some other players in the running, but that DuPont was deemed the best fit – and made the best offer.
Knutsen kept his counsel on the identity of the other bidders but, according to Danish newspaper Borsen, Belgian industrial chemicals group Solvay was also in the running. Meanwhile DSM, which owns a 4.95 per cent stake in Danisco, has said it will not challenge DuPont’s proposal but has not said whether or not it was involved in bidding last weekend. Since DSM announced its bid to acquire Martek for over $1bn in December ratings agencies have sized its war chest for further, even larger, acquisitions.
David Kerstens, an analyst at UBS, reckons there are other tempting opportunities out there for others looking to go shopping – and prepared to pay in the billions for a company of Danisco’s profile and calibre. He identified CSM as a particularly interesting proposition.
As with Genencor for Danisco, lactic acid, which finds uses in bio-materials, is only a small part of the CSM business. Purac accounted for 13.9 per cent of sales in 2009, but that included food preservation uses as well as green chemistry and bio-plastics. Bakery ingredients made up the lion’s share.
A spokesperson for CSM did not return a call from FoodNavigator.com for a reaction on the speculation.
No sense in Chr Hansen
Chr Hansen, a compatriot of Danisco and leader in the cultures market, is not widely regarded as an acquisition target in the light of its recent IPO.
Since it floated on the Danish stock market in June 2010 share prices have risen by 30 per cent. “If anyone had wanted to buy Chr Hansen they should probably have acted nine months ago,” CEO Lars Frederiksen told FoodNavigator.
He acknowledged that “as a public company we are basically for sale every say,” but added that he would be surprised to receive a bid at this stage.

xero--Right about rice having a low part of the RJA ratio. I think RFogers made the food ratios according to USA consumption, not world consumption. Otherwise rice would be a bigger part of RJA.

And some growth and a low forward PE of 6.38. LOW PE's often spell ropuble or I'd buy before a breakout, but will wait for the triangle to decide.

Comment on the summart of condollezza's link..
Conclusions of the study for Suriname are on page 57, way down.Suriame is on the northern Border of Brazil and produces half the rice of the USA. For this study to be done and put up by condolezza I have to think a rice bran oil plant could be going up there. If Suriname gets a rice bran oil plant, I wonder how many other countries we never thought of will get one. Could we licence and get 25 rice bran oil plants going in "Short" order. Suriname ranks about 20th on rice production country list(Just as guess as to I can't find it listed).
Condolezza I must guess posed this for a reaon other than information, I hope anyway..
I hunted for condolezza's link and found it. I found it in the Yahho search. Try the bottom link first, if that does not work try the top link and hit the first choice.

Former VP Marge Adelman speaks out.
A poster with the ID mambo367 p[osted last night and this morning answering questins. A creditble poster affirms that it is her. Most of it is about the past that led tp her SEC charges announced Thurdsday. One point, she mentions JS a bit and is refering to Jeff Sanders who was a CEO for about a month in 2008 before Olga.
First, she does post one thing about now, so far anyway and her it is>>>>
And note that she has not been in the company for maybe 2 years.
My opinion is that John and Leo are doing a great job of salvaging the mess that was made of the company by BE. They are certainly highly motivated to hit the trigger points that will create the big pay off for them. I have always believe that the technology is valuable, however we it has never been leveraged properly due in part both before and now to a lack of knowledge about the industry. Leo is only knowledeable about RBO and DFB in my opinon. He was exulted to a position that he should have never been placed in. Everyone in there has gotten paid very richly for on the job training. We should have had people who were experts in that industry. We never did. That was a big disadvantage from my perspective.
