Re: [sharechat] <<AFFCO>> Marilyn eats humble pie

You may have seen my recent posting from NZ Herald - Brian Gaynor ?
The point that these meat processing companies are acting as agents, not as traders, appears to point to an inherent weakness in their capacity for large profits.
It would seem that they need to monitor costs very very carefully, as their margins are rather slim/..

Subject: [sharechat] <<AFFCO>> Marilyn eats humble pie

The humble pie should be filled with ground beef. Affco's 65 C L Steer (Non Halal) grade beef would be a suitable source.

My bullish recommendation to buy Affco in my post of Thu, 02 Nov 2000 09:26:04 +1300, has obviously been herded up the race and stunned in the sticking pen by the recent odd events at the company.

In my defence I included the following warning in that post;

Perversely in making this buy recommendation I will be reluctant to commit my own cash to this industry. I have lost a lot of money over the years waiting for the meat industry to create shareholder wealth (Waitaki Fortex), so I am a bit gun shy. For example Alliance is paying its 1st dividend for 10 years shortly. What I am saying is things are looking up,
but over the years the meat industry has been an investors graveyard.

Surely the series of stumbles and prat falls which have occurred in this listed company and the resultant affect on the share price, all without a satisfactory explanation from the directors, is sufficient to prompt a query from the stock exchange?
