Another wheat price story
It does seem that when the media is all over it that the run is over, at least fore now. We had a fake rice shortage a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a fake crisis in that people were buying Costco our of the 50 pound bags because if the fear created from the stories.
That said, the over all food shortage story in the future continues to grow. We will have many more rice and wheat bubbles, and the wheat story may come back again soon.

All we need now is more stroies about the top soil being blown away, being ruined by GM seeds, etc. and ground water disappearing faster than thought and the "Big picture" of the food crisis will be more exposed. I am still in DBA and hope for a 52 week breakout soon.
23% more rough rice to mill in the USA
So, my speculation is that when Short said that LA #2 could be back in operation before we exit BK at the end of the year is that it will be 23% bigger harvest to stabilize and maybe a longer milling season---A possible plus for NTRZ.

I bought 900,000 shares of it for $630 plus the Schwab $39 fee since it was under .001 I held it two two months and it went to .0002 and I mentally wrote it off. A little later it went to .0014 and I managed to sell it for .001 and a 35% net profit for two months. Not bad!! Rhino has a nose for the little guys and I understand they all don't work out.

Note that the doughnut is made from Defatted Oil Bran, DOB. That is the left over's from the oil process. I was told that it was not economical to ship it to the USA from Brazil, too much freight. So, maybe an oil plant will be in the USA. Short said when we got Lake Charles back that the plant could come on line before we exit BK. In the oil making process, the bran is stabilized first thing. So, the warehouse at LA # 2 could store stage 1 and ship it to another oil plant, such as the Riceland plant in Stuttgart, Arkansas.
Just possibilities, there is no evidence of a signed agreement.

Thanks for the kind words. I will be devastated if the stock fails. I posted in the past that I thought if the stock is bought out that it should go for $100. That would be $2 for the stock and $98 for the unusual and severe pain and suffering.
Would be nice if Z got some of the 22 billion
SHANGHAI (AP) -- The Agricultural Bank of China says it raised a world record $22.1 billion in its initial public offering last month, despite a tepid reception from investors, after exercising an overallotment option for its Shanghai share sale.
The bank, China's main rural lender, sold an additional 3.34 billion shares at the IPO price of 2.68 yuan ($0.39) per share as part of the overallotment, as expected, according to a notice Monday on the Web site of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The extra 8.94 billion yuan ($1.3 billion) raised pushed the dual Hong Kong-Shanghai IPO to $22.1 billion in total, surpassing the previous record set by the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China's $21.9 billion IPO in 2006.
Despite strong government backing for the IPO, the last by China's four biggest state-owned commercial banks, investors leery of the rural-oriented balance sheet and the market's overall outlook have shown lackluster interest in the shares.
In Hong Kong, whose market is open to foreign investors, the bank's shares rose a mere 2.2 percent on their July 16 debut, compared with double-digit gains in past years for high-profile IPOs. In Shanghai, where yuan-denominated shares are sold only to domestic buyers, the shares rose just 1 percent on their debut.
By midday Monday, the lender's shares were up 0.7 percent, at 2.71 yuan in Shanghai and down 1.5 percent, at 3.34 Hong Kong dollars a share, in Hong Kong.

I have bought a lot at these levels, and some back a bit lower in April. My last buy was the day they Z announced the class action settlement and it has gone from .13 to here, aghast. NTRZ will make me rich or a bigger fool than I already am.
Your sale at .15 was great!!!

The clue is at the end the APFI symbol is there. NTRZ is getting press in the Asia Pacific Food Industry magazine. The clue is that NTRZ is getting promoted more in Asia than in the USA, yet we have no plants there. Asia is the rice bed of the World and this advertising there points to NTRZ being there after we get through this BK junk. I hope that helps xrymd.
Short has said three times, The plan of reorganization will be come in affect on November 30th and we will exit BK by the end of the year. Well, that is getting closer. We go before the judge to get the class action lawsuit approved October 1st and before another judge on October 19th. It's clear sailing from there, if those two major points are approved.
Coming to a country near you soon.

thinkingStone---------------------
I am just showing a company that compares with NTRZ in that it was in BK and had a foreign subsidiary not in the BK. As SSCC worked out the shareholders lost their shares, but got new ones.
I DO NOT THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN TO NTRZ. I guess the purpose of my post was to help the nervous nellies who think they may lose their shares. With Short, Leo, Belt, and Kody getting extended contracts and all those options, the SSCC scenario is moot and Short told us 3 times now in so many words, 1. We won't lose our shares, 2. The final reorg plan will take affect Nov. 30th, and we will exit BK by the end of the year.
Once again, I just posted the SSCC bit as a point of interest.
More about the SSCC BK story and comparisons.
OK--anybody tell me if my math is wrong.
I found that SSECQ had 258,000,000 diluted shares in June 2009. Then when the old shares were canceled, SSCC issued 250,000,000 shares at $25. The canceled shareholders got 2,250,000 of the new shares or .009 % of the new stock or a total value of $56,250,000. Creditors got 40% of the new stock. That equals 21.8 cents for the canceled shares which is about exactly what the stock closed for on it's last day of trading.
So, if we lost our shares, what price could Short issue new shares for on Irgovel and Herbal Science. It is too complicated to compare SSCC and NTRZ. SSCC was much much much worse off than NTRZ. And, they did not have an artificial high like Z did at $5 when Brad was screwing with the figures. I could take the BK low of SSCC of .02 and the cancellation day price of .21 and compare that to Z's low close of .05 and get at .525 stock, but as I said, comparisons are really tough with only one example.
I feel this was one of my best finds. It compares with Z in that a foreign division was not included in the BK.
My whole point is that I think we have less a worry of losing all our stock value, even if the current stock is canceled. So, the worst case scenario is less.
If my math is wrong, please correct me.
Lose our shares and this be our future?
SSCCQ.pk had their shares canceled. But, that was the USA subsidiary. It had a Canadian subsidiary that was not part of the BK. The stock was as low as .02 and I must assume it ended at .21 because that was the final close of SSCCQ before it merged with SSCE(The Canadian division). That is a far cry for the $6.00 pre BK price and the .99 price a few months after the BK. I could be off on the price at the last close because I don't know how many shares SSCCQ had. Canceled shareholders got 2,250,000 of the 100,000,000 shares of the new issue common. I got to guess .21 is correct.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=SSCCQ.PK+Basic+Chart&t=5y
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/100622/ssccq.pk8-k.html
This compares in that NTRZ has the Brazil oil and Herbal Science divisions as NOT part of the BK.
I believe it possible that if we lose our shares, we will NOT really lose our shares because of Brazil and HS.
New stock>>>
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SSCC&p=D&yr=0&mn=6&dy=0&id=p36544634639
So, even if we lose our BK shares, we might be a legit part of a new company.
But, by the looks of the new months gnus put up on the VTLV site, we may not be even close to losing our shares.

Jackal--could you post the link for the Water board? I do believe Monsanto, Dow and others are poisoning water around the world with their weed control, fertilizers and pesticides and the negative affects on the fresh water supply will grow in geometric fashion. That on top of all the other problems with water supply.
TY
GM seeds could cause certain farmlands to be blacklisted.
This would really hurt the world's food supply if maybe 20% of all farmland was shut down from effects of GM seeds. From my previous posts a couple of excerpts>>>
If new evidence of genetically-modified soil bacteria contamination arises, what is highly possible given the numerous (1600 or more) distinct microorganisms we classify in just a teaspoon of soil, and if that contamination is not remediable but remains permanent – someday the public may blacklist precisely those farms that have once planted genetically-modified crops. No one seems to have put up any warning signs when selling these inputs to farmers who own 1/4 of all agricultural tracks in the US. Furthermore, the spreading potential impact on all ecosystems is profound.
Case in point>>>>
For example, a farmer in Ottawa Tony Huether planted three different kinds of genetically-modified canola seeds that came from the three leading producers (Monsanto’s Roundup, Cyanamid’s Pursuit, and Aventis’ Liberty). At first, he was happy to see he needed to use less of costly herbicides. But within just three years, “superweeds” among canola plants had taken in the genes of all three types of those plants! This ultimately forced him to use not only more herbicides, but far more lethal products. There have been similar experiences in the UK.
Proof of harm from GM seeds.
DewDillgence, you are mostly right. Most GM seeds have not been proven harmful. I love seedless grapes and oranges, but they have been around for years. But, the few that have been proven harmful plus the lack of long term studies should scare the heck out of anybody. The big companies that rule the whole world like Monsanto, Dow and their friends like the big banks, all of them control the world's political system with their campaign donations and control of the liberal media, and even Fox, IMO. Read the following article and keep in mind that in 1 seed in 100 is harmful it is a potential disaster for millions.
