I think this is the best answer to the question.
You don't have to hold the stock forever if you buy it now.

The local availability of A2 doesn't move me.
But I have just returned from holiday in SE Asia. What did move me was one country has oodles and oodles of powdered milk powder including infant formula. But no A2. So ripe for the picking. And in another country some milk powder but not much. However two important things: One can was specifically targeted at those with "lactose intolerance". And secondly and most importantly it was the most expensive tin on the rack. That can be tomorrows market.
And even more encouragement - the only butter I came across was Anchor - so distribution channels are already in play.
It won't be just Fonterra / NZ that we need to be thinking about. Someone sometime ago posted a CNN ? link that reviewed A2 milk. I can't recall if ATM was mentioned...maybe not. But the inference from the clip was that if science valid...then not impossible to switch over time.
MM...I don't have any idea of the time, but perhaps quicker than you think. ...and Dobby...I agree. However I am generally not a trader.
Hence, they are not in my portfolio...and yes...have missed out on a lot.
I read it would take about 10 years before a farm can be 99% A2 cows only that was found in a previous link shown on this thread. That gives plenty of time for ATM to grow.
How long will A2 premiums last?If many farmers in New Zealand, Australia and worldwide produce more A2, will there be a premium for it?
A2 milk that I used to buy was $4.90 for 2 litres, now Fonterra branded A2 milks is being sold $6.39 for 2 litres, Fonterra's greedy mits are on it
both ATM and SML seem to be having the MAs challenged of late. They both seemed to have stalled for a short while and may bee seeing a down turn. Good analysis on
I am out of both for now. but probably not a good idea, but have cash waiting.
