ADM buy 95.02
Peter Lynch, a legendary investor, once said to find great investing ideas "look in your refrigerator." If you bought it there is probably one or more good reasons why. Look at what you purchase that has been valuable and satisfactory.
Note the videos here are from long ago, markets change, and the companies and trends he is discussing are not current. However his rationale still is worthy of checking out. It worked for him and he emphasizes it is only a starting point for more research.

GERS Receives Contingency Offer To Restart Litigation Against Ethanol Industry...
This includes ADM's unlicensed use of GERS' oil extraction technology.
CleanTech subsequently received an opinion of counsel that its remaining seven of twelve corn oil extraction patents are clearly valid and enforceable, along with a contingency-based offer to restart the infringement litigation from scratch. We are evaluating our rights and remedies in connection with all applicable matters, and we are unable to characterize or evaluate the probability of any outcome at this time
Further, in connection with ongoing patent filings, the USPTO allowed CleanTechβs new corn oil extraction patents after considering the very information that the District Court found to have been withheld, and upon which the bulk of the District Courtβs rulings were based. All of the information alleged to have been βknowingly withheldβ from the USPTO in connection with the patents in suit was provided to and considered by the USPTO prior to issuance of several additional patents that are not covered by the District Courtβs prior rulings (the βNew Patentsβ). The USPTO subsequently disagreed that deception of any kind occurred when, on February 21, 2020, it issued another patent to us after reviewing the very evidence that was allegedly βwithheld,β along with everything the defendants ever submitted and claimed, as well as the District Courtβs 2014 and 2016 rulings β all in light of the facts that were never presented to a jury. Significantly, the new patent was allowed by the same examiner that the District Court said was deceived. In other words, the same patent examiner that was allegedly deceived looked at the purported evidence and claims of deception, and disagreed that she had ever been deceived. Thus, in issuing that patent, the examiner concluded that the inventive process was not βready for patentingβ in July 2003, that an invalidating βoffer for saleβ did not occur in July 2003, and that the βready for patentingβ and βoffer for saleβ information that the District Court determined to have been βdeliberately withheldβ from the USPTO was immaterial to patentability.

GS Cleantech Corp. v. Western New York Energy, LLC
GS Cleantech recently filed another lawsuit, this one against Western New York Energy in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York on July 12, 2013.
The asserted patents are U.S. Patent Nos. 7,601,858, 8,008,516, and 8,283,484, each entitled βMethod of processing ethanol byproducts and related subsystems,β and U.S. Patent No. 8,008,517, entitled βMethod of recovering oil from thin stillage.β The patents relate to methods of recovering oil from byproducts of ethanol production using the process of dry milling, which creates a waste stream comprised of byproducts called whole stillage.
According to the complaint, Western New York uses infringing processes performed by ethanol production plants purchased from a plant designer called ICM. ICM was involved in prior litigation with GS.
GS has been on an aggressive patent enforcement campaign over the last several years. The multiple cases were consolidated in the Southern District of Indiana, where the asserted patents were construed and re-construed.

Iβm lukewarm on ADM and consider it a weak beneficiary of The Global Demographic Tailwind. ADM does not directly benefit from farmersβ imperative to increase yield per acre (the way such companies as MON and DE do), nor does ADM produce branded food products that are highly desired in emerging markets (the way HNZ, for instance, does). Thus, to exploit the ag component of TGDT, I would rather own such companies as MON, DE, and HNZ.
