This isnt an objective thread, its a mutual admiration society.......................................you' re all blind in one eye!!
I converted two people today to drink A2. The first was at Z petrol station, asking me if I wanted a coffee with my petrol, I said only if it has A2 in it. The second was at Countdown, while buying some more A2. A woman next to me was looking at some A1, and I said, hey there, looky here at this A2 , full cream healthy choice, real nice taste. And she said,yeah, my girls like full cream milk. And I said, how long would 2lt. last, and she said 3 days, and I said, well you better take two bottles because once they taste A2, it will be finished in two days.:t_up: And on that note, tempted to buy another 15,000:)
I absolutely welcome any knocking and will partake in such knocking avidly. However, right now, I can't find anything to knock, damn it!
(DISC: I have a fair whack of them since their price weakened considerably making me rather overweight in ATM. But I figure I see the powder selling out in China, so figure this ain't a bad thing)
I am guessing this weeks report will have some solid figures, hopefully returning the SP back to the 80-90c range. Fingers crossed, don't let me down ATM! When is the report due exactly, anyone know?
1/4 full empty a2 bottle with rice and knock it onto the palm of your hand or onto your front thigh to the music. This makes a good sounding shaker. The report should be out before the end of the week, hopefully.....good one.....because I am also very much overweight in this company, and of drinking heaps of a2.
A few thoughts:
I'm a daytime believer in the product too, but talking to a baby shop owner who has sold an unquantified amount of a2 and a few others that have sold a few, is encouraging but its a bit of a long straw to extrapolate this into the impression that massive sales are taking place over there.
The taobao site shows nothing but advertising the product so I am unsure how you are coming to that conclusion either? I may be missing something in the translation though.
If the practise of reusing tins and filling them up with other formula, is correct, it could really screw up a2's marketing efforts over there.
Sure, I am just giving my anecdotal evidence from what I have seen, take from it what you will. The taobao site indicates a great many number of people selling the product. My experience with taobao is that a large number of sellers selling the same thing indicates that they can sell a lot of it and do. Things that don't sell so well only have a few stockists or are completely non existent. Again, just anecdotal but that is the experience of someone "on the ground".
Something very interesting about the taobao site is that almost all the sellers are selling directly from NZ/Aus/UK. This is because most Chinese people in China don't fully trust the local stuff is actually genuine, they much prefer to source it from a western source which they are sure of. With the great exodus of rich Chinese families to these countries over the past 5 years (leaving half their family in China), it has set up a situation ripe for business. The Chinese immigrants in the West receives orders from Chinese customers, they buy the items from western supermarkets and then ship them either to their family in China (if it is many boxes for instance that needs to be split) or direct to customers. As most Chinese people of child bearing age now are pretty good English readers, its no problem for them to interpret the labels as customers. So the actual sales in China will probably be made up of a lot of sales from these countries too - it will be interesting to see if they split this into sales by region.
A2 milk holds consumers' hearts

If what blobbles says is true in post 1731, then, now that a2 has an entry into the chinese market and is exporting there currently, might we a see a levelling off demand in Aust compensated by an increasing demand in China? Irrespetive, its all positive.
The point about so many sellers on taobao being an indication of demand and sales is a good one.
It amazes me that with all this evidence,(albeit a lot of it anecdotal) the SP has laguished back into the 60's from a high point only a few months ago in the 90's.
Is this just a trend of investors moving out of growth orientated stocks and into good dividend paying ones, or is there something else?
There is just about a perfect inverse correlation between ATM and SPK!
