Not arguing with what you've posted - but its wrong to say its spin. .Those are apparently all valid uses for the crop. Many of the uses are not economically viable but its useful to know that it isnt just the seed that we are looking at in terms of revenue.
i have no position in the stock at present as there is clearly a large seller/shorter out there and it is highly speculative. Its a unique business model and therefore high risk high reward. I certainly would be nervous about shorting as profit figures are pretty mouthwatering if all goes well. I am interested in the news from the yield from the first jatropha plantings because this will give some real idea about profitability. Any cautious news or delay in profits is likely to cause the share price to plunge so wouldnt go long just yet.
