It is also controversial for enforcing patents and going after farmers that violate its GMO seed policies. Recently, over the last two decades, it has been controversial due to its main business, genetically-modified-organism (GMO) products. The impact of GMO foods will not be known until decades afterwards but GMO foods are one of the most regulated and scrutinized products so I am somewhat less concerned than others. I will do a detailed write-up if I research more. Last, but not least, you need to concentrate on using more of content marketing technology. These are just some of the products that a promotional marketing company may sell to its B2B customers.

You may have been saving money in a low interest savings account over the years. Management skill is also unclear, although Bob Diamond built up Barclay’s Africa operations over the decades so he knows the region (he is also apparently good with forex which is where Atlas Mara is making money right now). I find his company interesting because it gives investors an opportunity to invest in Africa. Africa is the least developed region, which consequently means it has the highest growth potential. Assets are likely overstated and asset quality is likely poor but even then, after adjustments, if P/B is less than 0.6, it is worth investigating given the long-term secular banking growth (if you are ok with high-risk investments). When an economic growth is good, one of the absolute-best sectors to invest is financial services (especially banks and stock exchanges in undeveloped/developing markets). The stock is down something like 80% since IPO because their banks are doing terribly. Profile of former Barclays CEO (who stepped down after LIBOR interest-rate manipulation scandal–not clear but I don’t think he is ethically challenged) who is running a new fund/holding company, Atlas Mara (trades in London, LSE: ATMA).

Realize massive trading profits as advanced artificial intelligence technology trades for you. Hard to tell but the stock probably trades at a discount due to its controversial nature. Ninety-nine percent of them will, but you have to remember to ask this question if they dont tell you. But I have no problem with Monsanto. Monsanto has been one of the most hated companies in America in the last 50 years. The industry has not done so well over the last 5 years and because this is a high P/E (high ROE) stock, one needs to be clear on the future prospects. So will we have a return of the 36 year cycle of banking trouble start to boil again in 2016, 36 years after 1980 and the start of the last banking failure debacle?

Syngenta 2016 Industry Report (PDF; alt website link): Was studying the agricultural industry and found this industry report useful (it’s similar to the ExxonMobil oil & gas industry report, which is one of my favourites in the energy sector). We found that a mere 2.18 per cent indicated that they would choose the riskiest portfolio (comprising 60 per cent high-risk, 30 per cent medium-risk and 10 per cent low-risk assets) after marriage. Assets are likely overstated and probably worth less than what’s on the books. What makes this worth looking at is the fact that Price to Book is something like 0.4 (I haven’t looked deeply and confirmed it). If you want to read about moats that is not a book, it worth spending your time on this. Everyone has a moral compass and you need to decide if you want to invest in such a company. Atlas Mara is a holding company with stakes in several banks and is trying to consolidate them into larger, more efficient, operations.

Some of their investments were likely duds and they might have spent millions on worthless banks. On the other hand, the Canadian banks sell for much higher valuations and are loaded up of over-leveraged Canadian consumer debt, some worse than others. Things have changed so much in agrichemicals/agribiotech industry in just 5 years. The other two new stocks I bought after they have suffering price drop recently, one was because of “property cooling measures ” and the other one was impacted by techs/ chips slow down globally.
