I rechecked this this morning also - as the drop off in the percentage shorts had been alluded to in here.
Yep , shorts have been significantly reducing their positions and buying to close out.
And also
@McQuade - over 11 million short positions must still be bought back!
What are they thinking.
Nicely positive cashflow and by this time next year higher yearly income will have been reported for this 2021 FY year and the market able to see that the 2023 year has higher earnings than now and growing forwards , with 2024 and beyond to be steadily rising earnings as well as return on capital with very nice depreciation figures.
Big work has been done in TGR.
Tassal is a very ethical business, in exactly the growing food aquaculture industry which is needed and in demand. Consumers look to decrease their red meat and caged grown poultry consumption and seek sustainable seafood and more fresh foods.
** Fertiliser and energy prices and ocean traffic shipping costs are very high.
Fertiliser prices have recently gone parabolic .
** Food inflation , rising food costs are very real. I heard of a trailer load of lambs (of course grass fed) selling for > $350 / head into NSW last month.
Brahman half- cross weaner prices are insane and the finished fattened stock are fetching extreme valuations last week in regional Qld here. (photo of steers, fattened on lucerne, in a truck before being unloaded, at cattle sale last week Qld)
** Ocean csught fish and prawns and seafood , although I am tremendously enjoying in my travels atm, ultimately not sustainable. Recreational fishing is largely difficult to regulate. I was lucky to be able to step onto a fishing boat which had just returned from over 7 days out at sea. 1400 line caught ocean trout in the boats tank being carefully taken off in batches, in plenty of flowing water , for the wholesale and Chinese export market.
Tassal is producing what is needed, low environment footprint imo, huge research and part of the global farmed fish and seafood industry .
