Franny analogy does not work. Kind of like a bankrupt biotech company talking about Merck's research budget. Not an on point analogy. Yes research takes time. So SHMP is an R and D company. I agree with that.
I agree that Beyond Meat has lots of similarities to NSI! Including all the beginning hype before reality set in and you know what happened from there! Just look at the pps pattern! Similar investor pain who bought into the hype! But at least NSI has a great tasting quality product compared to BM! Lol
