A2 Milk (ASX A2M)
The A2 Milk company was founded back in 2000 by Dr Corran McLachlan in New Zealand. Whilst studying at Cambridge University, he discovered that the proteins in milk affected people differently.
He then discovered that ordinary cows produced two types of beta-casein proteins called A1 and A2. He then found a way to identify cows that produced milk without the A1 protein.
The main selling point of A2 Milk is that the A1 protein has demonstrated through research to cause some people digestive discomfort.
Since then, the A2 Milk company has expanded to Australia, New Zealand, China, the US and UK. They have also moved into some emerging markets in Asia.
We first posted about A2 Milk on 19th March 2018, when the A2M share price was around $12.50.
Like most stocks that rely heavily on exports to China, the A2M share price suffered declines down to sub $9.

Understanding these forces helps us time the market and buy or sell stock at the most opportune moments.
In general, the markets and stocks are firstly driven on a short-term basis via supply and demand imbalances.
This is the order flow on a day to day basis as investors buy or sell a stock for different reasons.
This order flow is generally hard to forecast and requires strong technical analysis and understanding of the underlying market to properly time.
Secondly, markets and stocks are driven by macroeconomic forces in the medium-term.
Factors include but are not limited to changes in interest rates, consumer sentiment, government policies and so forth.
Understanding the nuances and how the different countries interact with each other in terms of trade and politics is key to understanding the forces that drive the markets as a whole.
Finally, stocks in the long-term are driven by fundamentals. Factors include but are not limited to quantitative factors such as earnings growth, profit margin and return on equity.
Qualitative factors include factors such as competition, operating environment, political and policy environment.
