This is my conspiracy theory stock (hahaha). Having friends in high places isn't always necessarily a good thing. See this commentary from last spring: http://www.fool.com/news/commentary/2006/commentary06032301.htm, where I made clear what I felt were risks for this company.

At any rate, I think investors should be cognizant of the controversy that surrounds genetically modified crops. (Regulators may have allowed them into the U.S. food supply here with little fanfare, but it's a different story overseas -- not to mention European consumers are extremely distrustful of them.) Meanwhile, biotech continues to evolve. Underperform.

Not sure how this might affect Monsanto re: Posilac sales though.

Interesting article about a company that is coming up with a technology that delivers similar benefits to those provided by GM crops without inserting foreign genes: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15737333/
