SK Hynix ADR, SKHY, closed 154.57, -8.81% on its eleventh trading day.  IPO was at 149.  SK Hynix is a profitable company with over $65 billion in revenues (larger than SPCX) and $28 billion in annual profit.  The ADR is speculative because as a new IPO does not have a track record to evaluate.

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 115.07, -2.68%. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, is an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.
