▶ 10-Year Yield Drops Below 2 Percent on Fed, Trade War Fears

We’re always cautious on any company going public. IPOs are an opportunity for a company to raise capital before it has a trading history, and usually before it’s even profitable. If a company has a great story, [Trading Tips] Good morning. We’re always cautious on any company going public. IPOs are an opportunity for a company to raise capital before it has a trading history, and usually before it’s even profitable. If a company has a great story, it may have a huge rally from its IPO, but reality will eventually set in. Beyond Meat, one of the hot IPOs of the year, saw this recently. Shares are down over 29 percent from their all-time high following an earnings report where it quadrupled sales—but the company also announced it was issuing more shares. Even a fast growing company won’t always grow fast enough to keep the market happy. We suspect other recent IPOs will see similar drops as earnings season unwinds.
