Chinese
criminals have been flying drones onto farms and infecting perfectly
healthy pigs with African swine fever, lowballing the farmer for their
sick pigs, and then selling the tainted meat as healthy, according to SCMP, citing China Comment - a magazine affiliated with state news agency Xinhua.
中国の悪党は養豚場上空にドローンを飛来させまったく健康な豚をアフリカ豚コレラに感染させる、農家は感染豚を投げ売りする、そして悪党たちはそれを買い受け健全な豚肉と偽って販売する、とSCMPは伝える、国家報道機関新華社通信子会社の雑誌 China Commentに掲載された記事だ。
In some cases, the gangs have spread rumors about the virus which is
not deadly to humans - but causes hemorrhagic fever in pigs which is
almost always fatal.
場合によっては、悪党たちは噂も広げる、人には無害だが豚が感染すると致命的だと。
Sometimes
they spread rumours about the disease spreading in the locality and may
even leave dead pigs on the side of a road to make farmers believe the
infection is spreading. -SCMP
In more extreme cases, however, the gangs use drones to drop infected items into the farms.
もっと極端な場合には、悪党たちは養豚場上空にドローンを飛来させ感染物を落下させる。
"One of our branches once spotted drones air dropping unknown objects into our piggery, and later inspection found [the] virus in those things," said one farm manager.
Once the sick pigs have been acquired by the gang, they are then
smuggled to other areas with sky-high pork prices, violating a ban on
transporting pork or livestock between provinces, and sold for a profit
as high as $143 per pig.
In Yunnan, a southwestern province, authorities have intercepted the
transport of more than 10,000 live pigs - some of which were infected
with the virus. According to the report, one gang smuggled 4,000 pigs
from a province in one day.
It
said that smugglers had been bribing inspectors and faking quarantine
certificates to smuggle the animals across provincial borders.
報告書によると、密輸業者は賄賂を使ったり偽の豚検査証を利用する、こうして省間の移動を行うのだ。
In
one such case in Lichuan, a city in the central province of Hubei, the
disease spread through the area after a vet forged certificates for
infected animals.
湖北省Lichun市では、 偽検査証で病気が蔓延した。
The
smugglers are trying to profit from a spike in prices that has seen the
cost of meat rise from about 20 yuan per kilogram to a high of 52.30
yuan last month. -SCMP
In October, China's Ministry of Agriculture reported that the country's pig herd had collapsed 41.1% YoY. According to Rabobank, that figure could rise to 50% - 55% by the end of the year.
最後の２段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...
最後の二段落だけ訳をいれましょう。 Gold-Stock Head Fake? Adam Hamilton January 3, 2020 3174 Words Gold miners’ stocks blasted higher this past week, breaking out of their correction downtrend. Rapidly-improving psychology fueled such strong upside momentum that sector benchmarks are challenging months-old upleg highs. Most traders assume this is righteous, that gold stocks’ next upleg is starting to accelerate. But key indicators argue the contrarian side, that this breakout surge is a head fake within a correction. In early September, a major gold-stock upleg peaked after soaring higher on gold’s decisive bull-market breakout in late June. The GDX VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF, this sector’s leading benchmark and trading vehicle, had powered 76.2% higher over 11.8 months. It crested the same day gold’s own upleg did, hitting $30.95 on close. That ma...
最後の２段落だけ訳を入れておきます。 Silver Miners’ Q3’19 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton November 29, 2019 3726 Words The silver miners are finally enjoying higher prevailing silver prices, a great boon for this sector. Silver surged this past summer after gold’s first new bull-market highs in several years rekindled enthusiasm for precious metals. The long-neglected silver stocks rallied strongly with their metal. Their recently-reported Q3’19 results reveal whether those gains are justified, and how much fundamentals improved on higher silver. Four times a year publicly-traded companies release treasure troves of valuable information in the form of quarterly reports. Required by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, these 10-Qs and 10-Ks contain the best fundamental data available to traders. They dispel all the sentiment distortions inevitably surrounding pr...
Gold Mid-Tiers’ Q4’19 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton March 20, 2020 3250 Words The mid-tier gold miners’ stocks have been annihilated with COVID-19 fears infecting traders’ sentiment. They crashed with gold getting hammered on extreme gold-futures selling! With blood in the streets, the buy-low opportunities are phenomenal. The fundamentally-superior mid-tier gold miners have epic upside potential during gold’s next upleg. This key sector just reported outstanding Q4’19 results on higher gold. The sheer carnage in gold-stock-land has been jaw-dropping! In late February, the gold-stock sector per its leading benchmark GDX VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF edged up to a 3.5-year high slightly above early September’s. That was fueled by gold’s $1600 breakout surge on COVID-19 fears. Yet as I warned in an essay the trading day before GDX’s pe...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ２週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
