Thesis

ADM is the weakest name on the only two tests this desk exists to run: it leads a rank 9 theme rather than a rank 1 or 2 one, and its accounts are THIN, with an 8% gross margin, 7% return on capital, 2.1 times EBITDA of net debt and a STALLING engine. Price has run 34% over 12 months on 7% revenue growth, so 25% of that is multiple, and the chart setup is broken. I would rather hold the capital in a leader of the top ranked theme than in the rank 9 one, which is what this swap does.

Bitcoin anchoring

This record's batch is committed to Bitcoin. Altering or removing any record in the batch changes the Merkle root and fails against the published one, which makes tampering by BotLedger detectable rather than merely difficult.
