The question is not whether BYND will pop again, sure we are going to have some dramatic move shortly, but what to do @ 25 ? Sell ? I am asking now, because once the next news, rumors,.. come out, things happen fast and there is no time for strategy. We'll get all the usual hype and the guys from the Yhoo board (currently feels like at a funeral) will scream 40, 50 again. The chart sure does not favor buy&hold - but then, BYND might have a bright future and is not a scam after all. Well, one might sell after a 2-day move and then jump back in if it holds or even rises further. But if BYND really wakes up, and the short sellers load up as usual after a nice move, the following squeeze could be significant. Any opinion ? Gustaf

Do you know that anyone can get a 5% rebate on whatever's sold at BYND on top of any other promotions? Just go to ebates.com and see for yourself. To become a member one will need to submit only e-mail (for registration), name and postal address (where to mail the rebates) and pick a password. More, if when registering you type "extraoff" (no quotes) in the the referrer field, you will get 5% rebate and I will get 0.5% as a referrer fee. If you don't use "extraoff" - I won't get my 0.5%, which is OK with me - let BYND shareholders keep it:) I'm just pointing to the fact that under such conditions customers who are using this rebate program will spread like virus killing margins along the way. Many other online stores (you'll see lots of them at ebates.com) run this promotion so market share increase is dubious as well. I'm not sure all that is reflected in the stock price. IMHO, indeed Regards
