Viterra Share trading halted

[agstar77]

This is one of the foreseen consequences of the CWB dismantling. Easiest way for someone to gain control of Canadian grains. Thank you Mr. Ritz.

Smartest move the cwb could make would have been to buy Viterra out.

Not big enough thinkers at the CWB.

Viterra was basically bankrupt when it brokered the Agricore deal.

The cwb could have got handling facilties and market share in one swoop.

Glencore has a market cap of 44.4 billion would be in the running.

Or Cott may have a Chinese runway over his farm that WILL land UAE planes...

its natural gas assets,it makes sense since mayo"s
mother is from the same home town as alexi miller.

tracking on his stories.

Tom, Charlie or Larry, if memory serves me correct, is
AIMCO not the single largest shareholder in Viterra?
13%? If so, I would expect some politicking to kick in
before this one is resolved (thinking potash here).
Viterra Board is meeting in Calgary right now.

Another poker game over the weekend.
Just like the agricore deal.

[tubs]

doesn't matter who owns vitterra .I believe with this interest there is some new money flowing into agriculture, and thats not a bad thing it shows optimism in our industy.

AIMCO has a major share. Not sure on percentage or whether largest shareholder.

For those who are wondering who AIMCO is, see the following.

Good link Charlie.

Aimco is the prime example of money managers and
hedge funds waking up to the reality in front of them.

What is risk,is now being re-defined.
