I'm very bullish on ADM long term. Reason being, China and India are going to put about a billion people into the middle class over the next twenty years. It is a sure bet they will eat more meat and more processed convenience foods. Both mean higher global demand for grains.
ReplyDeleteI love ADM! I've recently started a dividend portfolio and ADM is the first company that I bought! I'm starting to develop a dividend application(windows 7/8/10) to keep track of your own dividends. Please check out my blog and portfolio, thanks!
