“Not just Monsanto does this work...and frankly speaking, the company is not all that profitable so they sure are not screwing anyone.”

So are you saying Monsanto isn’t that profitable or successful as a company? That’s ludicrous. They’re huge, and have one of the most powerful DC lobbys.

I buy and sell the stock...I know what they make as I read their financials...They have had a rough time over the past few years, are doing better now, but it’s up and down for them.

As to size, Monsanto is a conglomerate so sure, they have a lot of assets. But so do 100s of others and in terms of value they are dwarfed by Apple.

They have to fight like hell with competition in all of their business segments. You act like they are something special! They are not! They have simply been around for a long time and I have watched them struggle at times to keep their heads above water just like any company.

Right now they are trading at 101 bucks per share...They went as low as 45 dollars only two years ago. They have yet to recover fully to their 145 dollar highs when the markets crashed in 2008.

Like I said, they are nothing special.
