RE:Uplisting
I was also very excited about the uplisting, and in hindsight; way more than I should have been. If graduating to the TSX meant an increase in stock price, all you would have to do is invest in those companies, sit back and enjoy retirement. We all know the game isn't that easy... And I admittedly let optimism cloud my judgment and common sense.
How I should have seen it was a long play that will greatly benefit the stock in due time. Not a short term winfall. Patience really is a virtue.
I went to the TMX website and fetched the "possible additional benefits" section for you and pasted it below.
Once listed on TSX, additional benefits may include: Increased access to capital
Enhanced reputation from meeting the minimum standards of a senior exchange board
Greater visibility TSXV graduates listed on TSX are covered by an average of five analysts
Access to institutional capital institutional investors have invested $15 Billion in TSXV graduates
Enhanced liquidity on world markets roughly 40% of TSX trading is originated by international headquartered Investment Dealers
Escrow policies may be reduced upon graduation to TSX
Improved M&A opportunities
A TSX listing is a requirement for inclusion in the majority of indices and composites
