    Impact of ADR Level 2 on original stock?

    INVESTING 
    I'm invested in a tiny local company (market cap now $8MM), that is now preparing to float a Level 2 ADR on NASDAQ. I'm wondering - what impact would this have on the local stock price? I'd think it'd be positive.... Any thoughts?

    Keeping track of customers and vendors

    Depends on how complex all this is, and what kind of platform you are using for your store, and how many customers you have. If your business is new, I'd caution against doing anything complicated since it'll just distract you. Speaking from 20 years in IT....it matters less what you use than...

    Bumping this thread. I just read "Peterman Rides Again" and "Wild Company". The former, chronicling the rise and fall of the first incarnation of jpeterman, and the second - a similar story by the founders of Banana Republic. Both are fun reads and incredibly informative. Really, it's...

    EIN (Employee Identification Number) and IRS

    the real decision is if to go for an S corp, or not. if you do - you need to apply within a fairly short window of incorporating, or you cannot [EVER] do it. i did an S corp: but my situation is different because i live abroad and my US tax situation is a bit unique, so my considerations...

    Well researched article on setting/determining Pricing

    Completely agree. I'm working on this. I'll show one bag for the standard, two with the cotton bag for the premium, and two w/a small pile of beans for the delux. I want to encourage the middle category, so I deliberately chose a pedestrian word to describe the lowest level. But, the...

    Question: Who does "dropshipping" here?

    i have little to add to what has been said here. I'll mention two points - 1. find what you want to sell and go to the manufacturer directly. don't waste any time with directories, etc. 2. capture email addresses and names. one of my big mistakes was not doing this and letting so many...

    eCommerce website for men's necklaces

    Completely correct. So, you are left with deciding if you want to go the drop ship or even hold stock route... and face the competition that XOthermic is mentioning.. OR, if you want to really do this for the long term.. start out that way but build your own brand.. find up and coming...

    Who has sold a web-based business? (Besides MJ?)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If I was in your situation, I'd book an hour with Perry Marshall & see what he says. He's a remarkably smart guy and a flexible thinker & from his AdWords positioning he'd probably have something interesting to say.
