Looks like all the excitement and exuberance of last week is all over.
Business as usual by the looks of it, and that's not all that flash.
Good fun while it lasted though

Interest in the A1-A2 issue is growing rapidly in India, the world's biggest dairy-consuming nation, and both national and state governments are under increasing public pressure to pass legislation banning the breeding of cows with the A1 gene.
According to this story from the influential Times of India, Indian scientists are about to launch a major multi-institutional research project to verify claims that milk containing the A1 gene carries health risks while A2 milk does not.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c...w/46845039.cms
India's native cattle breeds were once all pure A2, but extensive inter-breeding to increase milk yields has resulted in the almost complete disappearance of pure native stock from which herds of traditional A2 cows could be rebuilt.
This research project could raise some interesting issues regarding a2MC's patents on the technology for identifying A2 cattle. But it's all in a good cause - it could produce verfification from independent researchers that A2 milk has multiple medical advantages, and that A1 milk carries medical risks.
Er, did someone say Fonterra exports dairy to India?
Notice when someone sells 100,000 at 54c, it is quickly replaced by another buyer of 100,000 at 54c. Three times in half hour.

Glad a2 will be there, not a price-sensitive news but uplifting :)
If you wanted to buy a 1,000,000 shares as an example at 54c , you would buy them in smaller 100,000 lots at a time. If you plonked 1,000,000 on at 54c it could push the price up too much, and you don't want that to happen if you are still in buying phase. That is my theory anyway.
Generally if an insto or individual has a large order they will not "show their hand" to the market and thus drip feed the order into the market. This is what may be happening with the share price at 54 cents. You see this sort of trading pattern often in the larger liquid stocks like SPK etc as well.
Newbie question for the day.......... can one buy shares on the ASX and trade those same shares at a a later date on the NZX (or vice versa).... if so what is involved (I ask primarily as I see there is quite a price differential for Infratil shares between the ASX / NZX..... ?)
Just curious really.
In Aus at mo. I see that Dairy farmers are still selling milk with "naturally contains A2 protein" splashed all over the milk container.
Initial enthusiasm for A2M being clobbered by the big sellers who have to be more than just AMP.
As predicted the Aussy SP will go to the 0.49 to 0.52 range until success is proven in sales volume in target markets. Success is reflected in current price premium waiting for confirmation. Sellers are either de risking their portfolios or are losing patience/faith. It's quite a difficult concept to grasp for most people so I expect slower progress than what I initially expected. It will take scientific proof and anecdotal evidence in the media to really getting traction.
