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.
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう この長文記事をRay Dalioが発表し、ゴールドは＄１４００から＄１４２０へと急騰しました。GLD保持高に変化はないのでたぶん先物ポジションが進んでいます。 Ray Dalio Warns A "New Paradigm" Is Coming: "Buy Gold, Sell Stocks" by Tyler Durden Wed, 07/17/2019 - 14:44 Authored by Ray Dalio via LinkedIn, One of my investment principles is: 私の投資原則はこういうものだ： Identify the paradigm you’re in, examine if and how it is unsustainable, and visualize how the paradigm shift will transpire when that which is unsustainable stops. 現在のパラダイムを認識し、それがどの程度持続可能かどうか判断する、そしてパラダイムシフトがどのように起きるか、そしてその着地点を思い描く。 Over my roughly 50 years of being a global macro investor, I have observed there to be relatively long of periods (about 10 years) in which the markets and market relationships operate in a certain way (which I call “paradig...
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 ...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか？ Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US. よく言われるM2（米国のマネーサプライ指標）とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。 "There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. " 「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」 Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関？ The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
