Must See: Potentially the biggest cannabis IPO in history could happen in the next 24 hours. Full story here.
10 years ago, only about 1% of the U.S. population refrained from eating animal products. Now, that number is closer to 5%.
Now, why am I talking about this today?
Look, you may not be part of that 5% – and I’m not here to say you should be. But you can’t deny that vegetarianism is growing at a rapid pace. These days, healthy and sustainable living is attractive to consumers – and plant-based protein embeds that lifestyle into your diet.
And the meatless market is still rising. Some analysts have even predicted the market’s worth hitting $100 billion in the next 15 years.
Meat-alternative producers are seeing high demand right now, and companies’ share prices have been skyrocketing. So far, investors have had the opportunity to make tons of money off of the meatless market.
But not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon…
One analyst’s prediction could completely reverse this “Plant-Based Revolution,” erasing investors’ quick-cash and emptying their wallets in the process. But that doesn’t have to be you…
You can bank big money on the plant-based industry – even if you’re a carnivore at heart.
Here’s the best way to cash in now…
How to Profit Off This “Vegetarian Haven” – Even If It Crumbles
Right now, two companies dominate the plant-based protein industry.
The first is Impossible Foods. You may have heard of it – especially if one of your guilty pleasures involves a drive-thru, as the plant-based provider just created a meatless patty for fast-food giant Burger King’s Impossible Whopper. The company was founded in 2011, but after creating a new version of their meatless patty this past January, sales shot up 50%.
Demand was so high for the plant-based burgers that Impossible Foods began to run out of supplies, and was forced to deal with shortages…
Shortages that Impossible Foods’ biggest competitor was there to replace.
I’m talking about Beyond Meat Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND).
BYND went public on May 2, 2019 for the most successful IPO of the year. It was just a few weeks after the ridesharing dumpster fire when BYND surged 163% in one day in the biggest single-day surge since the 2008 financial crisis.
And the company didn’t stop there…
BYND’s first earnings report showed first-quarter sales of $40.2 million, up 215% from the same time period last year. They have even bigger plans for the future, too, with a forecasted 140% rise in revenue year on year.
As of Monday’s close, shares were up a whopping 572% from its initial IPO price. Hope was high for BYND, and investors everywhere were cashing in, adding the meatless maker to their portfolios.
But then came JP Morgan analyst Ken Goldman…
In early trading on Tuesday, Goldman downgraded BYND from buy to neutral. And the fast-rising stock took its first major plunge, falling 25% in one day.
Goldman attributed the downgrade to BYND‘s meteoric rise, saying:
“With a valuation this elevated, any hiccup in performance – real or perceived – could lead to a meaningful correction in the share price.”
He could be right. BYND shot up like a meteor – who’s to say it won’t fall like one too?
And you know the saying – “Bulls climb up the stairs and bears fall out the window.”
If BYND falls like a meteor, it could crash right into investors’ wallets, erasing their fast-earned cash just as quick as the dinosaurs.
But that doesn’t have to happen to you. Because with options, BYND’s drop back down to earth doesn’t have to obliterate your profits…
It can boost them instead – and fast. With options, you can profit before the summer ends.
Now, even with the 25% drop, BYND is still trading around $143 per share. And on expensive stocks like this, even options can be pricey.
Remember, we never spend more than $500 on an initial trade. But there’s a way you can still harness the profit-taking power of options without paying the high cost – and that’s with the loophole trade.
By buying one option and selling another with the same expiration, but a different strike price, you can drastically reduce your total cost without reducing your profit potential.
And you can use this strategy with both calls and puts, meaning you can take home a win on BYND – whether it makes a cosmic rise or a drastic fall.

If you’re ready to take the reins… master your own domain… and secure complete financial independence in as little as 12 months… this can change everything.
Anyone following along could have the chance to make up to $83,000 per month. But soon, this may be out of your reach entirely. Get the details here now – before it may be too late.
And stay tuned for next week. Because one of the market’s biggest stocks is about to drop – and on Tuesday, I’m going to show you the best way to profit off of it.
As always – good trading,
