SC, I wanted to mention an interesting microcap stock I found via Dew -


>>> AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. engages in the research and development, and commercialization of products that improve aquaculture productivity. It offers antifreeze proteins. The company was formerly known as Aqua Bounty Farms, Inc. and changed its name to AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. in June 2004. AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in 1991 and is headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts. AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Intrexon Corporation. <<<


They have been approved by the FDA for their genetically modified salmon, and are awaiting the decision on the labeling, ie whether the GMO designation has to be listed on the product or not.
Whether or not they have to label it as GMO, the company should get some serious revenues before too long. The famous mutual fund manager Bill Miller owns stock in the parent company Intrexon. With a market cap of only $125 mil, it looks like an interesting stock. Here's a link to the I-Hub board where Dew has info on the company -

I'm generally against most GMO foods, but this stock looks interesting as an investment.

SC, Another interesting salmon related stock is Marine Harvest, based in Norway. They're now trading on the OTC as MHGVY (formerly traded as MHG on the NYSE) and due to the symbol change it's hard to find a longer term chart, but its 10 year chart is what initially attracted me to the stock - a nice steady upward slope. Also has a big dividend over 8%, with PE in the 12 area, and market cap $7 Bil range with $3.7 bil in revenues, $566 mil net income, and strong cash flows. So a totally different type of stock than AquaBounty, but worth a look as a conservative buy/hold stock with a big dividend -
