I like the live better too, lol
The monent of truth is near!!!
A bit scary I'd say. We should see what Short is made of, what the SEC was so excited that they let Short and other get big raises and options. Belt and Garner left secure jobs to come here. I'd say anybody who sells here could m,iss the opportunity of a lifetime. Still, the unknown is eating away at me. We should know a ton more by a week from tomorrow for sure.

Kerry expanding "Solutions for meat"
Kerry strengthens North African markets
- Published: 28 March, 2011
Kerry Ingredients & Flavours is building on its North African markets through exhibiting at Djazagro 2011, the international food exhibition held in Algeria.
The company will focus this year’s exhibition on its range of meat seasoning and flavour marinades.
Thierry Vacheron, export sales manager, Kerry Ingredients & Flavours, said: “Kerry has built a reputation as a well-established supplier of a complete range of solutions for meats and prepared dishes to the Algerian market.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So, Kerry knows all about NTRZ since they bought the cereal business from them and sales VP Garner used to work for them. Selling stabilized DOB in Europe and Africa should be quite easy, don't ya think?
Lets get the ball rolling Mr. Short. The world is ready.

The volume this week sucked, but note on the chart that since the bottom in December 09 that after a pullback and the bottoms started rounding up, even just a bit for a few days, that a big rally ensued all four times. Now they are doing it again. I suppose this is the time it fails, lol.
All in 2010, look at Late April early May, September,October and late December-Early January.

Philippines needs more rice
Innocent story, but when coupled with Henks work in the Philippines, a possibility sure exists as they need more rice and Z can get them 8% more bulk from the wasted bran, and 45% more nutrients.

PHILIPPINES NAT'L FOOD AUTHORITY GETS RICE FROM VIETNAM
The Philippines National Food Authority (NFA) said on Wednesday it is importing rice from Vietnam to ensure enough supply for the entire country. The grain is arriving April this year.
Currently, the country's rice supply is good for more than 40 days or one-and-a-half months.
NFA administrator Angelito T. Banayo said the Philippine government has sealed a deal to import 200,000 tons of rice from Vietnam.
Banayo said the NFA finds it best to do a government-to-government arrangement with Vietnam which is selling their rice at US$ 480 per ton payable in 270 days after arrival in the Philippines.
The NFA preferred sourcing stocks through state deals now instead of mulling over open and public tenders because civil unrest abroad was pushing up oil prices and making freight costlier, Banayo said.
The import order forms part of the 860,000 ton rice requirement the NFA plans to source abroad with the balance to be brought in by the private sector.
The NFA has also set a tender on April 4 for import rights for private traders covering 60,000 tons rice, part of a total 660,000 tons to be brought in by the private sector this year.
Small farmers groups are expected to participate in the April 4 tender. The NFA sought bids for rights to import up to 600,000 tons rice, or two-thirds of the planned purchases this year, and may announce the accepted bids later on Wednesday.

roger that, yes many buyers fit
1. Nestle as you link states really likes Food Medicine
2. China-Bright Foods and they will not do business with companies in BK which NTRZ technically is and that might change on March 29th.
3. Just the pharma end could have others interested.
4. Special patent interest from The Philippines and Foodflow, a meat extrusion company in The Philippines.
5. Henk is from Euorpe(Netherlands), he could have others interested, including Swis based Nestel.
It sure seems that a total buyout is not in the works. Belt and Garner did not come here for a 6 month stint. But Z could have many partners like Alothon in different parts of the world. The next two weeks will be VERY INTERESTING.
Cakewalk up to the institutional $ 5
Things were different at $5.00 in May 07 and now.
Negative
1. We had $133,000,000 shares and almost 200,000,000 now.
2. We have a few more warrants out now.
3. We had a lot more cash, but Brad blew it and the BOD was looking the other way.
Positive
1. We did not know about stabilized rice bran oil and the stabilized deoiled bran. This SDFB will be used as meat filler and much more.
2. We had no mention of a China deal in 07. Even thought the old deal is not affordable, licensing could pop up. We do have a dialog with China.
3. Wheat stabilization was not mentioned in 07. This seems on the back burner, but the deal with Indonesia to build a wheat mill that stabilized the wheat and put i/2 of it back into the white flour to call it whole wheat and use the other half for other purposes, this deal was real, but wheat is on the back burner.
4. We have more nutraceuticsl patents now. I do hope we find out what is going on there at the end of the month in the nutraceutical and pharma end of the company end of the company. We were not really close to anything in May 07.
5. The biofuel angle is new. Used as starter in the fermentation process is a great use for the low grade stabilized deoiled bran?
6. The world food crisis is really heating up compared to May of 07.
7. Patents using Z's rice bran have popped up all over the world. Henk Hoogankamp has been working a lot in Asia and Europe with many companies in advance of oil plants in their areas.
8. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=56373911
9. NTRZ had the CEO from heII in Brad Edson. He is gone and now a seasoned pro with real finance experience is at the helm. His lack of food experience is canceled out by the hiring of Colin Garner.
Neutral
1. To get to the end of the rainbow we will need some kind of dilution, whether it is loans, convertible stock or regular stock offerings. But, we would have needed that back in 07 as well.
2. We had our stage 1 and 2 in 07. Now it seems we can make the same products with the oil and SDOB. So, nothing lost there.
3. We have the same useless Board of Directors.
4. The story that NTRZ could grow China's food supply buy 1 per cent with no more land, crops, labor or seed is still there.
Anybody want to add to this list, feel free.
Biofuel and SRB
Short did not talk about this at all at the last CC, but condolezza did as SRB, DFB makes a great starter in the fermentaion process. Here is a World Grain tie in story. Possibilities?
Brazil, U.S. expand biofuels cooperation
BRASILIA, BRAZIL — Two important announcements involving renewable energy made on the opening day of U.S. President Barack Obama's official visit to Brazil, both directly relevant to Brazil's successful sugarcane ethanol industry, are encouraging signs that Brazil and the U.S. are on a path to achieve free, unobstructed trade for clean, renewable biofuels, said Marcos Jank, president and chief executive officer of the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) on March 20.
The first major announcement expands the existing memorandum of understanding between Brazil and the U.S. to advance cooperation on biofuels, signed in 2007, to include a new partnership for the development of aviation biofuels. Key goals in the agreement include developing sustainable aviation biofuels as an important means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, establishing common standards and specifications and strengthening private sector partnerships.
Of particular interest to UNICA is a clause calling on the two countries to work to "prevent international barriers to biofuels trade and development." Various companies are developing aviation fuels based on sugarcane, including a three-way partnership between Brazilian regional jet manufacturer Embraer, engine manufacturer General Electric and California biotech company Amyris. In 2012, the trio intends to stage the first-ever flight using jet fuel produced from sugarcane, using an Embraer aircraft equipped with GE engines and owned by Brazil's Azul Airlines.
"These developments add to the signs of growing awareness we've been witnessing in the U.S. in recent months about the need to develop clean energy solutions cooperatively and reduce barriers to its trade and development. Even avid supporters of heavy subsidies and steep tariffs that prevent Brazilian ethanol from entering the U.S. market competitively are now openly discussing what happens next, both in terms of technologies and policy. Without admitting it, they're in fact recognizing that the current situation can't last much longer, because it works against everyone's best interests. U.S. consumers are being denied access to clean, renewable Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, which could be contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions and save Americans money at the pump," said Jank.
The other announcement of interest to Brazilian biofuels producers is the launch of a strategic energy dialogue that involves development and access to Brazil's huge new petroleum reserves, but will also deal directly with clean energy technologies. During a speech to about 500 Brazilian and U.S. business executives in Brasilia, Obama pointed out that focusing on fossil fuels in the near term doesn't mean losing sight of what needs to happen in the future.
"The only long-term solution to the world's dependence on fossil fuels is clean energy technology, and that is why the United States and Brazil are deepening our cooperation on biofuels, and why we're launching a U.S.-Brazil Green Economy Partnership. Because we know that the development of clean energy is one of the best ways to create new jobs and industries in both our nations," Obama concluded, acknowledging that more than half of all vehicles on the road in Brazil are flex-fuel capable and run primarily on biofuels.
Jank sees the new Green Economy Partnership as an additional and vital step to strengthen ongoing U.S.-Brazil efforts to improve and expand production and use of biofuels domestically as well as in third countries: "This is a natural move for the top two renewable energy producers and users in the world. Brazil and the United States should be leading by example, working together to advance on all fronts, including breaking down trade barriers that hinder the global expansion of biofuels."
With energy at the top of the agenda, prominent members of Brazil's sugarcane ethanol industry were involved throughout the first day of Obama's visit to Brazil, including a luncheon offered by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at the External Affairs Ministry, where UNICA's Jank was among the guests with direct access to Obama.

Japan's reconstruction may fuel China's inflation
BEIJING - The rising price of oil, gas and other commodities, because of rising demand as reconstruction work begins in Japan, will keep China's inflationary pressure at a high level, World Bank economists said on Monday.
"Japan's demand for commodities in the aftermath of the recent disasters will add to the already high-level of demand for commodities," said Vikram Nehru, the bank's chief economist for the East Asia and Pacific region.
There might be an increase in commodity prices as a result of increased demand, and because of problems in Western Asia and North Africa, he added.
Louis Kuijs, senior economist at the World Bank's Beijing office, said that inflationary pressure is unlikely to diminish quickly, given the rise in energy prices and the already high price of food.
"There is still room for China to further tighten its monetary policy this year," said Nehru.
To soak up liquidity and control inflation, China's central bank raised the required reserve ratios for banks by 50 basis points last week, the ninth hike since the beginning of 2010. Before that, it raised interest rates in February for the third time since October.
China's consumer inflation rose to 4.9 percent in January and February from 4.6 percent in December. It hit 5.1 percent in November, a 28-month high.
Around one-fourth of East Asia's long-term debt is denominated in yen, ranging from around 8 percent in China to about 60 percent in Thailand. A one percent appreciation of the Japanese currency translates into a $250 million increase in annual debt servicing for the region, the World Bank said.
"As China holds a very limited amount of long-term debt, and that which is yen-denominated is even less in the portfolio, the impact (on China) will be very limited," said Kuijs.
The disaster in Japan drove up the yen last week on expectations that domestic retail and corporate investors will begin to "repatriate" money for the reconstruction efforts.
If history is any guide, real GDP growth in Japan will be negatively affected until the middle of the year. Growth should pick up in subsequent quarters as reconstruction efforts, which could last five years, accelerate, according to a supplement to the World Bank's semi-annual East Asia and Pacific Economic Update.
"A temporary growth slowdown in Japan will have a modest short-term impact on the region," it said.
Though the bank did not offer its own forecast about the likely cost of Japan's disaster, it cited private estimates that the losses could range from $122 billion to $235 billion, or 2.5 to 4 percent of the country's GDP. The 1995 Kobe earthquake caused $100 billion in damage, or about 2 percent of GDP.
Private insurers are likely to bear a small proportion of the cost, leaving most to be covered by households and the government, the World Bank said.
Swiss Re estimates that claims costs in Japan will total $1.2 billion, net of retrocession (the purchase of reinsurance by a reinsurance company) and before tax.
However, the estimates are subject to a high degree of uncertainty as events continue to unfold, making loss assessment particularly challenging, said Swiss Re in a statement on Monday.

Food for thought on Trading
Trading is asymetrical
Because of the tendency of the price action to drop a lot faster than it rises, "Sell Fast, Buy Slow" is a good axiom to trade with. Keep in mind that there is a high probability of multiple tests of any potential bottoms and that V reversals are very rare. There is no hurry to turn long term bullish.
With any protracted move downwards, the odds increase for positive divergence developing. The TA indicators will start showing higher lows but the price action will continue downwards.
WWG setles with NTRZ--from gnus
WWG has signed a settlement agreement to end the Z litigation. This has caused a postponement of Thursday's hearing where the judge pretty much made it clear that he would make the TRO a PRO against WWG and that evidence supported Z would prevail in the lawsuit.
The settlement amount is not disclosed but WWG is required to pay it by 3/30/11. Just happens to be the day before the 10-K would be due. Seems timed to have that matter wrapped up before the filing.
The suit for for something like $1.4 million plus interest at 18% a year from the point invoices were overdue. I'd assume collection costs as well. This would approach $2.5 million
Remember SB got that big payoff from BE/Z on the VTLV securities flip. So maybe he has some scratch stashed away somewhere.
If they get about $800,000 they can pay the HS settlement and then do whatever they supposedly plan on doing in that arena.
One could speculate a bit that there is a little PR push starting at the end of the month with getting current on all SEC filings.

Hello meat filler.
News Analysis: A food crisis for China?
From World Grain, the last sentence has NTRZ written all over it>>>
China, with more than 1.34 billion mouths to feed, has always been on the world's watch-list for a food crisis due to the concerns that a crisis in China would require more grain imports and create shortages elsewhere in the world.
Will China's severe drought in its major wheat belt and the soaring agricultural commodity prices on the global market lead to a food crisis in China?
Chinese officials and experts put the answer as a "No".
The current drought would have limited impact on the country's grain production, Chen Xiwen, vice director of the Leading Group on Rural Work of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, told a press conference in Beijing on Sunday.
The affected areas for winter wheat are less than one-third of the total acreage nationwide, and the output of winter wheat accounts for only 22 percent of China's total grain output, Chen said.
"The unfavorable factors of the dry spiral can be allayed or even eliminated through efforts," he said, adding that three rounds of precipitation and anti-drought measures have helped ease the drought.
Chen said he was also confident that China's grain prices would remain "basically stable."
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao assured the public last week during an online chat with netizens that the country has ample grain reserves after good harvests for seven straight years, which can be used to contain rapid price rises.
Zhang Ping, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner, also reaffirmed that the country has large grain stockpiles. "Our wheat reserve stands at 200 billion jin (100 million tonnes), roughly the country's one-year wheat harvest," he said.
In order to further relieve the drought and guarantee China's food security, the central budget has allocated 12.9 billion yuan (about 2 billion U.S. dollars) for fighting drought in the eight affected provinces.
The Food and Agriculture Organization under the United Nations issued a rare alert last month that the drought in north China could put at risk wheat production and also put pressure on wheat prices.
Further, wheat futures in Chicago have soared more than 60 percent in the past year and last month jumped to the highest level since 2008. Corn and soybean prices have also witnessed steep increases.
The price surge of wheat, however, is mainly a result of last summer's Russian drought, which will cause a 5.5-percent decrease in global wheat production in the 2010/2011 market year, said a JP Morgan report released on Feb. 18.
"Chinese wheat demand is primarily associated with traditional buns and noodles, which generally require lower grades of wheat, as compared to Western wheat-based foods. Prices for wheat futures are generally associated with higher quality wheat, which are in shorter supply," it said.
China's wheat consumption is expected to edge up 1.7 percent, while imports might be 2 to 3 million tonnes this year, representing 1.9 percent to 2.8 percent of the country's wheat consumption, it said. China imported 1.4 million tonnes of wheat in 2010.
"Despite the likelihood of higher imports, China is likely to remain more than 95 percent self-sufficient in wheat in 2011," it said.
In addition to increasing irrigation in agriculture, the Chinese government should also invest more in technological progress to boost production, analysts say.
