> Funny to see this finally making mainstream news. So disappointing to see the top comment is an outright lie. This story has been covered by the mainstream media since 2018. What's even more worrying is this guy is giving investment advice to naive commenters who know no better. https://www.economist.com/china/2018/09/06/african-swine-flu-is-causing-alarm-in-china-and-beyond https://www.economist.com/china/2018/09/06/african-swine-flu... https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-eliminating-african-swine-fever/ https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-eliminating-african-... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/china-races-to-corral-a-deadly-outbreak-of-african-swine-fever-before-it-spreads/2018/08/29/defbf39a-aad9-11e8-b1da-ff7faa680710_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/china-races-to-corral-a...

I didn't give investment advice to anyone. That's the outright lie.

  In this comment thread. dman 1 day ago [-] Any examples of how a retail investor would play this? reply xwowsersx 1 day ago [-] Buy TSN, SAFM, HRL...but it's probably too late at this point. We were placing bets on this 18 months ago. "Buy TSN, SAFM, HRL" sounds like an investment advice. Not only that your top level comment is investment advice as well, even if it doesn't directly mention an instrument or stock to invest in.

    You're just being uncharitable. I was explaining how the thesis would be expressed. It should go without saying (!), but I made it clear in other comments that I wasn't advising on anything. If you make investment decisions based on some short comments on HN then I have a bridge to sell you. People here are smarter than that. Nice to know you think of your HN peers as "naive". I hold them in higher esteem. Go find something else to be angry about.
