Investment Q&A

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: Do you know what is happening with this stock today? I tried to buy some the first day of trading but it got away from me very quickly. What would you pay for this if you were looking to invest in the alt meat space. Or other suggestions? I am hoping impossible foods goes public.

Thanks

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: Hi 5i team,
Is Peyto a value stock at $4.35 and is it a possible takeover target? It has made money every year for the last 20 yrs, its very cheap, and the reserves are valuable in the long term.
Thanks,
George

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
They just reported there Quarterly Report and the stock crashed 9%. What do you think happened?

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”.
