My point is that those commitments turn out to have been a terrible mistake
Well, yeah. I think that Solomon will be the first to admit that taking a 50% stake instead of 75% would have been a better choice. But he didn't know that 2 years ago. He didn't know that we would be trading at $0.40 today. He didn't know that the price of sleepy cod would collapse.
That's why you will probably see them take a 25% stake in the mega farm, and be on the safe side. This time.
