"This is a great report and this is a great way to invest broadly in a top theme. One problem, Soros is a major owner. I seem to remember a subscriber commenting a few years ago on Cresud. I would love to hear any knowledgeable opinions on this company."
Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this interesting report
which I have no doubt will be of interest to subscribers. Agriculture remains
a Fullermoney long-term theme and this share has a diversified portfolio of
assets which could be attractive to potential investors subject to due diligence.
If subscribers have any additional information we would be happy to share it
with the Collective.
On a
cursory inspection two points attracted my attention. Adecoagro is trading on
a Price/Book ratio of 9 which appears to
be somewhat expensive relative to the wider market. Its headquarters are also
in Luxembourg which struck me as odd since its business is in South America
and it is listed in the USA.
The share
has ranged between $12 and $13.50 since late January and a sustained breakout
will be required to indicate how investors view the share.
Cresud
remains in a relatively consistent medium-term uptrend and has pulled back to
test the 200-day MA over the last month. An upward dynamic would confirm support
in this area while a sustained move below $15 would question the consistency
of the medium-term move.
