| |  Good morning.. Shares of Beyond Meat plunged nearly 24 percent yesterday, and are now down over 63 percent in the past three months. While early investors are still up (for now), fears are now growing on the prospect of the insider lockout period expiring, something we warn about with all recent IPOs.
How did we know this would happen? We don't have a crystal ball. We're just following the playbook of the late Sir John Templeton, whose last big market win was shoring the Tech Bubble 1.0 in the late 1990's. He was one of the first to articulate the expiring lockup period, and how it put selling pressure on an IPO.

| Three Plays on Real Estate for Income and Upside Potential | |
|
|
There are many investment opportunities out there. For where the markets are at right now, many investors are looking for defensive plays—places where they feel safe, and get some income along the way to offset any uncertainty.
They're mostly overlooking real estate, however, given lingering fears from the last recession over a decade ago. That's too bad, because there are some great opportunities today, which can give investors above-average income compared to the average stock.

| Unusual Options Activity: Mastercard (MA) | |
|

At a price of $21.10 per option, or $2,110 per contract, it's not for every trader, but it's far cheaper than the price of buying 100 shares and hoping for a move higher.
