Part of the issue of the waking up the giant is that small caps in Adelaide are generally overlooked. The combined the market cap of CC5 and EYE is about $60 million. Both are world leaders. I need the share price of CC5 to double to recover my investment. That does not affect the science.
The purpose of my rant was that there are hidden gems out there, based on good science which is often overlooked.
I look at companies floated out from Australian universities and from the CSIRO as potential investments.
Seeking out these gems is integral to my investment strategy, but requires patience.
You mentioned wine from the Barossa. Think Penfolds Grange Hermitage. Few people are aware of the role Ray Beckwith who was instrumental in providing Max Schubert with the tools he needed to make the wine he desired.
Ray pioneered the use of pH meters in determining the balance of sugar and acidity content of the wines, which was vital for Max in being able to determine the correct picking dates for the grapes and in monitoring the wines during fermentation.
The use of pH meters is now standard practise in modern winemaking, and has led to an enormous reduction in the amount of wine affected by bacterial spoilage around the world.
