2001 outbreak had an imense impact- the share price hit the floor and their profits took a hit. If I remember correctly the share price was sub 120. The price today opened 10p down and i would expect a further slide over the next 2 weeks.

Genus says UK foot and mouth outbreak to have no measurable impact on business LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Genus PLC, the multi-species global genetics company, said the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease confirmed in Great Britain last Friday will have no measurable impact upon its business. It also said that only 14 pct of its turnover is in GB animal-related business. It clarified that all of its GB breeding stock facilities are located far from the source of the outbreak. However, it has further enhanced its "already high" bio-security procedures and will keep the situation under constant review. The company added that the ravaging 2001 outbreak had no adverse impact on the business and since then it has developed both geographically and in species. [e-mail] pmi/slm

Yes, dvarty, I too made the mistake of taking some profits at £5. Chart still looks strong. It would seem that the FT was going to run a story about GNS today but then pulled it; the companies index shows "Genus - page 20". I turned the pages in excitement but nothing there. It may be on-line - anyone got a subscription?

That Was The Week That Was ... In Soft Commodities By Sally White Speculative interest in commodities has definitely slowed, according to US investment bank Morgan Stanley, with net inflows to commodity-linked mutual funds totalling US$107million so far this year, against US$3.8 billion for the same time of 2005. However, with the International Monetary Fund's latest commodity study showing that speculative positions follow commodity price movements, not the other way around, there is still potential running in a number of the soft commodities with a fundamental supply shortage. ... more .... http://www.agriprods.com/storyFull5.php?storySeq=33

I'm out as of today - thing we have over-shot the mark. May buy back near to £4.40 - great company but looking a touch overvalued at these levels... Malc

Interesting looking chart!

[greenslug] 02/11/2005 08:48

would you buy in a placing that close to the open market share price? I wouldn't and even at 325 the discount isn't that great and maybe even less in due course!

[huttonr] 28/10/2005 09:39

The Sygen deal looks sensible but I was a bit disappointed by the 325p price in the placing - I would have thought that the management could have stuck out for a higher price - say 340 or so.
