I'm new to this stock market video making shall we say. I'm a business teacher in real life but I'm by no means an expert on the stock market so obviously seek your own financial advice. But anyway let's go into this information without favor or due. So why are ARK Invest a really successful investment firm buying this stock on constantly? Okay they've bought a lot of the stock and we're going to find out why and we're going to look into the company and we're going to think about should you potentially buy it. So hopefully enjoy the video and so let's go into this. So Aqua Bounty, so this is the stock that they keep buying and you may have heard of this already if you maybe if you looked at some of the videos but let's go right into some of the really core information as to really why is this happening? What is the core reason behind it? Is there some core fundamentals that we can look at as to why this is happening? So at Aqua Bounty so in terms of what they do so they believe saving your favorite fish and helping save the planet should be one and the same. That's why we believe in using science and technology to help solve global problems like food scarcity and climate change. As leaders in aquaculture we are continually looking for new and innovative ways to share the seafood we love whilst leaving the world a better place. Aqua Bounty's innovative land-based farms combine its expertise in genetic engineering and are the answers to a rapidly increasing global demand for high quality seafood. So what they do is they're involved in GMO and creating high quality seafood. Now obviously GMO itself has got you know kind of controversial views around it whether whether you agree with it or not agree with it but what we've got to look at as investors what is what is the market potential where is the direction going with this at the end of the day. Okay so just a bit about them so what it is it's in terms of salmon genetics trying to produce fish that are larger and there's a potential market for. Okay in terms of GMO so it's a 17 billion global salmon market 17 billion dollars by a massive supply and demand in balance and increased need for fresh and nutritious proteins for a growing population. Okay so there's a massive market for this here so of the superior economics versus conventional salmon this is because they enable 70 percent more harvest output whilst using 25 percent less feed so ultimately they're able to get the product in a much more bigger way and also reduce their operating costs in terms of of producing that product. So there is a lot of benefits there in terms of what they're producing because if they're producing more of it at a cheaper price that is only going to seek to improve profitability. Okay and profitability is the key word there if they're able to scale this up and offer salmon that's a more profitable price this is going to get the attention of potential suppliers buyers of their product on a global level because if they can increase their margins in terms of what they buy and sell for increase their profit margins because the operating costs is much less in terms of and the production and the manufacturing cost is much less okay there is there is there is a huge amount of profitability involved there okay so it offers us so process validation for the successful harvest of a conventional salmon in Q2 2020 okay so they're looking at successful harvest is which will obviously improve the stock levels and the profitability complete significant development on a farm 3 so 10 000 metric tonne commercial scale farm so they're they've got expansion plans that they're trying to expand upon what they're currently doing by the way it says the share price $2.98 this is the recent investment and powerpoint that's that's available but it's not actually at $2.98 so much higher than that we'll go into that compared to where it was in august september time uh competed uh completed significant development okay competitive more creating created by the regulatory framework giving the success significant lead on anyone planning to come to the market with genetically engineered salmon very important there because if they're able to give themselves a competitive lead ultimately that gives them a competitive advantage over anybody else who tries to enter the marketplace that creates a barrier to entry and if they've got that barrier to entry then that means that there's going to be less competition and then they can increase their profit margins very very important industry industry leading management team that brings significant food service supply and production experience with a robust biotechnology and aquaculture background so they've got a big amount of background in terms of they've got people with experience involved in the company which is really important within this particular industry you need people to understand the research that understand what needs to be done on a business level on a scientific level on a biotechnology level so there has got to be a good amount of leadership involved in this for it to be effective okay now let's go some other to a recent information okay so just just here there is a leadership team here and as you can see from this i won't go through it all as you can read it in your own time here but you'll notice here what really kind of strikes out here is there is a very experienced leadership team i mean we've got people with phd's we've got business individuals we've got you know a range of people here that are involved in the leadership team here this is a serious company they are trying to go places here and so we've got a reputation as a proven leader in terms of this CEO we've got sylvia reputation as a proven leader accomplished executive drive driving both growth and improved performance her diverse career encompasses executive level positions in general management sales marketing and ma in a variety of industries so she's involved in a lot of business industries and a lot of so is it kind of you've got the business mind there and you've got mark walton down here phd chief technical of technology officer so he has expertise in genetics and regulatory affairs so he's involved in a lot of the regulation side of things which is really important for the type of industry this is trying to develop in okay so and you've got that many of these other leadership team members that are also very very very very experienced and they've picked a leadership team which is very specific so obviously what the product is and what they're trying to do so they've got the match the expertise with the business which is good to see and obviously a strong leadership team that's good in terms of building a strategic direction and building growth now we'll go into some positives and negatives of this company because i don't just want to be a person that's hyping up a stock i don't want to be like it's off another youtuber that's hyping i want to be fair i want to say that you know there is something concerns that we've got okay and we'll get into that in a moment um but um one thing here that's enough is that in august 2020 at this this particular is from here and and the building more um fat harvest farms here so they're looking at actually building another harvest farm here that's in in in the works of getting built which you know if they're basically the point is if they're expanding this these these farms the more they can produce and the more they can produce the more they can sell the more they can sell the more profitability there is and you do have the element of economies of scale as well and as long as they're putting money into research and development and you know following regulatory guidelines and all the other areas then this company can grow massively over the next few years or you know this can be a short-term swing trade play but it also can be a long-term play we'll get that into that as well so just some of the positives here and there is more positives than this but let's just go through some of the main ones so there is a growing market potential because with it being a growing population as well so in terms of salmon you know we need food that's more affordable and this is a solution that's trying to get food that's more affordable you can agree or disagree i'm not a massive fan of gmo personally massively i'm not like a fan like you know but um but you know they're trying to meet the needs of society in trying to get more affordability for people and in a world where you know the economy is not going to be fantastic for the next two or three years let's just put it that way it's just not going to be fantastic you know affordability is really important and and they're trying to provide a solution for that okay so there's growing market potential it's also a consumable product you know a product that you would have again and again potentially so so with that growing population it's a food products are consumable so there is a potential for re-care and revenue obviously uh six systems and processes are in place okay so they've put the systems and processes in actually producing what the what what it is that they're trying to sell in place so they've got a business they've got the systems in place it's not about them just pumping loads of money into technology research and development in the hopes that something happens they've actually got something in place which is really important um there's profitability um let's say if they reducing their cost with creating the product um there but also at the same time um getting more of that product because of of the way that they're doing it that is going to increase profitability and the other point is I can invest are heavily invested it in them okay so they see the potential in this particular stock and they've been buying it um again on plenty of occasions by the way if you're enjoying this video if you find it helpful in any sort of way please leave the video a thumbs up because I'm new to stock market videos I really appreciate it because it helps it out in the youtube algorithm gets it up on the youtube search list and you know what that's the only way most people are going to find me because I don't have a huge amount of subscribers so any sort of help that you can offer is really much appreciated now here's some positives okay but again I don't just want to hype up the stock I want to I want to be a bit different in the way I do things here on youtube and I do want to maybe plant some concerns in your mind before you potentially go gung her into into this investment here so just some some and they're not negatives in the sense that the I hate using the word negative um they are just simply concerns okay now there is going to need to be a strong monitoring of the brand reputation so what do I mean by that well you know it's a gmo product and they're going to need to monitor monitor their reputation on this they're going to need to maintain a strong positive reputation okay for the product um so so this needs a lot of monitoring it needs a lot of sensitivity because of the area that it's in that's that's just basically it you know with some sort of bad news story came out about it this could be a be a bloodbath of red uh on the stock market so this need this needs a lot of monitoring though in the brand reputation I hope they've got good kind of brand reputation crisis management involved there in terms of the marketing um just in case and then there's regulation okay so there's a lot of regulation that might be involved in this particular area but as you see from the leadership team they have got people involved that are actually kind of working along those particular lines um but there is regulation there and laws that are involved that could impact the brand at any point um if possibly okay so so we've got to bear that in mind we've got to we've got to bear that in mind and also it's volatile you know the stock is a bit all over the place so it's a bit of volatility to the stock there um you know we don't know where it's settling at we don't know if it's going to shoot up even further so a tiny bit of volatility there um so the stock price where is it at now well you notice from the graph here the stock is completely shot up here um you know sort of missed a bit on it pardon pardon the fun pardon the fun with it being a salmon product that but you know it's shot up mild a lot okay so it's eight dollars and six cent so it's up 27 percent I believe it's on the day 27 on the day which is ridiculous okay but um there this is shot right up over the past sort of week two weeks okay so so with that in mind what you have to think about is okay do you get on the get on this right now or do you kind of assess the stock and think about it first so what what I'm doing is I do want I am considering getting into this stock um okay you know from the research I've done it seems impressive I'm not a fan of the kind of GMO area necessarily um but I see the potential here I see that the the investment potential here okay but what I would I would look at doing is see if there's a little bit of a pullback and then jump in see if we can get a pullback to seven maybe if we can uh and then see if it settles or consolidates anywhere around there okay it was consolidated before it's sort of this four sort of 450 level so it's shut up to to eight so maybe it'll consolidate again six or seven or it'll shoot up even favor from eight because our investor invested in it is getting a lot of attention recently so it is just two ways to play it you kind of get it now uh or just just if you want to play a bit more safer then just see if it dips a little bit and then get in which I think is what I'm going to try and do um but you know I may miss the but we may not see it at this sort of six five levels again okay so so it's up to you but hopefully you've enjoyed the video if I've given you any you know any helpful information at all if
