Q: Hi .... There seems to be a lot of attention these days around new IPO's. One that caught our attention the other day is LUCKIN ..... China..... going up against the Gorilla known as SBUX. This is a 2 part question:
1. What are your thoughts regarding the appeal of Luckin as an IPO?
2. In order to be "allocated" shares on an IPO are there any specific guidelines or rules that apply? E.G how big an investment is required to have a chance of getting IPO shares or is this a investing/trading opportunity more limited to the BIG GUYS with deep pockets vs the average smaller retail investor.

Thanks for any insights you can provide here.

I will vote for the current management team, as I’am sure this is in your view the best course?

Q: Hi
Based on the Portfolio Analytics program I am now above or below a regional exposure (Canada, USA & International within 1%. I was low on tech suggested percentage big time.
I sold my less than 1% holdings, would XIT be a good holding this would cover my Canadian holdings and increase my Tech holdings.
Based on my age I do not want to own stocks any longer and have several under 1% holdings.
You thoughts please

Mike
