Mark - I think it was perfectly clear.....and VERY consistent with what many of the posters on RB have posted.
1. foreign traded GEM securities CANNOT be traded via any DOMESTIC house until after a minimum of 40 days on market. (this is EXACTLY what Schwab told me months ago)
2. trading GEM shares via domestic house (ipo shares >40 days) is possible.....but, lag time in trading/closing, etc. will be delayed/difficult at times.
3. most fluid process is to have open brokerage account in country ie. Koffman just one option. Financial transactions will be much more fluid & sounds like much less frustrating.
NOTE: If anyone has different facts/opinion...please post >>>> but, let's keep it clean :)
