Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: What's your current position on Beyond Meat? Is there any "moat" around this thing to protect it from competition? It seems like any company in the food processing industry could compete. What's the short position like?
Would you advise subscribers to even consider a short position or could that just result in being trampled by the herd?

Q: Trying to decide what to do with this company which has done very well recently and is now selling above analysts one year target. After being under water for a couple of years I'm now up 30%. It's grown to 50% of my TFSA tho' less than 3% of my overall portfolio. Should I stay the course? Reduce? Sell outright and hope for a dip?
Appreciate your comments, please.

Q: How do companies decide on which exchange to list their company?

I see many questions on 5i specifically regarding Canadian companies listed only on the Canadian exchanges (eg. LSPD) sometimes both Canada and the US (like SHOP), or possibly only on the US market (LULU). And recently SDX going off to England, I believe.

Many of those questions relate to portfolio re-balancing thanks to PA.

So, all of this leads me to wonder what goes into deciding where to list a new company.

What would a “checklist” look like for making this decision? (Canada vs USA vs both).
As a general rule and given the size of the American market wouldn’t they be better off listing right from the get-go on the NASDAQ?

Thanks for the “lesson”.

Q: I often read mentions of "full position" or "half position" here. What is a "full position" in a stock? Pardon me for a naive question.

Thanks.
