🇺🇸 U.S. and Mexico Reach Border Agreement and Avert Tariffs

In the past two trading days, after a solid earnings beat, shares of Beyond Meat (BYND) have surged by nearly 87 percent. This just goes to show how tough it is to value an IPO. [Trading Tips] Good morning. In the past two trading days, after a solid earnings beat, shares of Beyond Meat (BYND) have surged by nearly 87 percent. This just goes to show how tough it is to value an IPO. When an IPO is considered a “failure,” investors can buy in at a lower price than the bigwigs that got in at the IPO price. When an IPO is successful, initial buyers make out like bandits—but individual investors see another missed opportunity as shares take off like a rocket. Conventional market wisdom is that bull markets die on hope, not fear. Another term for that is “animal spirits.” But perhaps we should update that in our enlightened era to “plant-based alternative animal spirts.” And if meat-alternative IPOs like Beyond Meat signal a market top to this long-running market, don’t be surprised.
