However you play it out, Monsanto will be toast
simply because they must face inevitable class action suits supported by aggrieved
farmers and aggrieved governments even. Today
we are merely discovering the facts and those are ugly and disclose a culture
of corporate recklessness that is surely unmatched. It
also begs an important question. Just
how do you handle a multi-national that has gone rogue?
It always begins with drinking your own cool aid and
when that inevitably goes wrong, investing heavily in the cover up and
misdirection.
This item is quite strong and we have been tracking
the visible failure of the GMO scenario for some time now. The science is coming up disclosing a
disaster in progress and a clear effort to manipulate the story with carefully
selected data. This is criminal and the
real blow back when it seriously engages will be horrific at all levels because
it is pretty clear already that regulators and the consumers were grossly
misled and manipulated.
Hedge funds, insider
traders begin dumping Monsanto stock as reality of GMOs sinks in across Wall
Street
Friday,
August 23, 2013
by Mike Adams,
(NaturalNews)
Monsanto executives and insiders are dumping Monsanto stock in record volumes,
sending the stock price spiraling downward. CEO Hugh Grant just sold off 40,000
shares at $97.74, and both Janet Holloway and Gerald Steiner -- both high-level
Monsanto executives -- recently ditched more than 10,000 shares each. Tom
Hartley also bailed on another 6,000 shares at $100.15. (See sources below.)
Hedge funds, meanwhile, are also dumping Monsanto stock, most likely due to sharply increased "negative sentiment." This means people increasingly don't like Monsanto, and that's a direct result of all the growing realizations about the dangers of GMOs, Monsanto's predatory business practices, the company's dangerous experiments that have already unleashed genetic pollution, and the fact that GM corn has been experimentally found to cause widespread cancer tumors in rat studies.
Just the fact that Monsanto's GE wheat trials got out of control and contaminated a wheat field in Oregon -- causing Japan and South Korea to ban U.S. wheat imports -- has resulted in 150 groups now demanding the USDA keep a tighter lid on Monsanto's GMO experiments. These groups are fed up with seeing the market value of their crops destroyed by sloppy "open field" experiments being conducted by Monsanto that spread genetic pollution across the country and contaminate non-GMO crops. (Monsanto goes even further and actually sues the farmers whose fields they contaminated!)
Hedge
funds dumping Monsanto
As InsiderMonkey.com
reports, Monsanto "has experienced declining interest from the
entirety of the hedge funds we track."
The report goes on to say:
At the top of the heap, Jeffrey Vinik's Vinik Asset Management said goodbye to the largest stake of the 450+ funds we monitor, totaling close to $100.8 million in [Monsanto] stock. Sean Cullinan's fund, Point State Capital, also dropped its [Monsanto] stock, about $54.7 million worth.
These sales leave Stephen Mandel's Lone Pine Capital with the largest holdings of Monsanto, over $613 million worth of the company's stock. Natural News urges all investors to ditch Lone Pine Capital and take your money somewhere else that doesn't invest in "the world's most evil corporation."
Blue Ridge Capital also owns over $320 million in Monsanto stock and should be immediately abandoned by all investors.
Monsanto share prices plummeting ever since the March Against Monsanto
So
far this year, Monsanto (MON) share prices have plummeted from a high of $109
to a current trading range around $95. That's a drop of nearly 13%, and the bad
news for Monsanto just keeps coming.
For one, the European Union's new food safety guidelines affirm the methodology and findings of the Seralini GM corn rat study. As much as the biotech industry and all its pimped-out science trolls have attempted to attack the study, the secret is already out: GM corn causes cancer tumors and consumers accurately see GM corn as equivalent to a "poison" symbol on foods.
The Seralini study, by the way, found that:
• Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death.
• Rats that drank trace amounts of Roundup (at levels legally allowed in the water supply) had a 200% to 300% increase in large tumors.
• Rats fed GM corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damage including liver damage and kidney damage.
• The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GM corn that's grown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This is the same corn that's in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas and corn snack chips.
Anyone who is still investing in Monsanto is investing in this:
All food companies that use Monsanto's corn will be punished in the marketplace
The
future for sales of Monsanto's GM corn look especially bleak due to the simple
fact that GMO labeling is now inevitable. The consumer push to know what's in
our food is unstoppable, no matter how much lobbying Monsanto conducts in a
desperate effort to keep consumers ignorant about what they're eating.
Whole Foods, of course, has already announced mandatory GMO labeling on everything it sells by 2018. I believe Wal-Mart and other retailers are also considering a similar move, or they'll lose market share to Whole Foods.
At the same time, major food manufacturers are realizing they must either get the GMOs out of their products or face a massive consumer backlash. As a result, there is currently a mad rush by food companies to get their products certified by the Non-GMO Project. Across the board, products that achieve Non-GMO Project Verified status experience an almost immediate 30% increase in sales nationwide.
Do the math: companies that use Monsanto's GM corn are punished and boycotted in the marketplace. Companies that use non-GMO corn experience huge increases in sales. In food company corporate boardrooms all across America, this is a no-brainer: dump GMOs if you want to survive.
The same is also true for hedge funds and mutual funds: the more they invest in Monsanto, the more they stand to lose from the global outrage against Monsanto, GMOs and GM corn in particular.
Plus, I also happen to believe there will come a day when many of the top Monsanto executives will be arrested and prosecuted for their role in carrying out crimes against humanity (not just from GMOs but also from glyphosate). When that day comes, Monsanto share prices will obviously fall through the floor. The company may, in fact, implode like a dot-com bubble, leaving investors holding worthless paper instead of valuable shares... a kind of poetic justice for all those who furthered the means of such a destructive entity in the first place.

Why
humanity will achieve victory against Monsanto
Monsanto
is at war with humanity and the planet, but humanity will achieve victory
against this evil corporate force of death and destruction. It is already
happening in the marketplace and across the minds and hearts of millions of
activists in stand in solidarity against corporate evil.
So spread the word about not just avoiding GMOs but also avoiding owning Monsanto stock in any form. If you have money invested in a mutual fund or hedge fund that owns Monsanto, sell the fund! Don't let anyone use your money to further the profits of the biotech industry. Invest your money in something that helps humanity, not harms it.
