Q: SKE just came out with a news release stating that they are doing a 1:4 share rollback. I believe they are doing this so they can list on the NYSE.

I used to own this one but sold at a profit. I nevertheless may buy back at some point.

I noticed 2 dates were mentioned - June 7 and June 10. Can you explain what will happen and when exactly? Also, I have often seen stock prices go down (at least temporarily) after these rollbacks. Do you anticipate that the share price will go down with this rollback?

Q: good afternoon - with all the news on hacking and ransomware attacks I have become concerned with the safety of my investment accounts and I expect many of your members will share this concern. How worrisome is this for individual investors? For those, like myself, who deal with a major bank ( RBC Direct, etc) I assume the banks provide cybersecurity at their end but what about at my point of access to my accounts. I currently use a commercial password protection program but wonder if I should be doing more. This may be out of your field of expertise but you are likley wary about protecting your own accounts and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. many thanks , al

Q: Over the weekend, financial press reported that “ President Joe Biden on Thursday blacklisted more Chinese companies from U.S. investment, expanding and clarifying a ban introduced last fall.” This adds more companies that the U.S. says have ties to China’s military complex.

Based on this update would you sell all holdings in Chinese companies and especially ETFs such as CQQQ other? Or would you say this has already been discounted by investors such that now would not be a good time to “dump” possibly good companies? Although I normally look for nuance in answers, on THIS question, more than just a hint would be much appreciated (We understand that you do not study CH companies in detail).

PS: As of midday, CQQQ is about flat (down only half a %; BABA down 1.3% but that could be due to other things, including general weakness in tech
