Hi, I just tried to buy ARK on gene modification, however due to EU legislation I cannot buy it(I can't buy canadian or US etfs). Can you recommend me something similar? I don't think it can be on the uk stock exchange either(due to tax reasons)

Hi Mr. Bond.
Yeah, smaller issuers often don't go to the expense of cross-listing or re-launching their strategies in non-U.S. markets.
3:26
Vanguard, iShares and so on -- you can usually by either a cross listed or locally managed equivalent of a popular U.S. fund.  But small folks like ARK, that would be really tough for them to manage.
What I do know larger investors do is simply fund U.S. domiciled accounts, but that can get you into all sorts of sketchy tax/legal issues that are way outside my area of expertise.

The Winklevoss brothers say they have a plan for bitcoin ETF SEC approval, but how can that even happen with the govt shut down?

Hi Terry.  No inside knowledge here
but  essentially NOTHING interesting is happening at the SEC right now because of the shutdown.
If a fund company has an existing trust, a plane vanilla ETF in the same series can come to market generally

We had a great story on all the impacts here:
Safe to say, with 94% of staff gone, the building is empty, and ain't nobody reviewing anything new or interesting until they come back.

Best guess on how/when US/China trade war ends, especially in way that will produce salutary effects on our economy?

I'm actually quite pessimistic on this.
3:30
I don't see it just "resolving" - i think it could be another year or so.  But Im not sure thats the end of the world for investors.  At least, I think it gives China a chance to focus internally a bit, build other trading partners and so on.
I actually think it's much worse for the U.S. long term than it is for China.
3:31
But I don't see CHina giving in on the demands Wilbur Ross reiterated just today: total overhauls of foreign investment rules, rewrite of all their IP laws, and so on.
those things don't happen quickly.
even if China just caves.
OK, that's a wrap for the day.  Great questions everyone.
We should be here same time, same place next week.
