IPO dilemma
1. First-week return is 10-25% while 3-5 year return underperform because IPOs coincide with overheated sentiment
2. If a retail investor gets all the shares they asked for, they likely overpaid for bad stock. If they get a few, they underparticipated in a good one
Today, @USAMBTurkiye facilitated a productive meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. We discussed steps that are essential for Syria to ensure their full access to the international economy. Syria has an opportunity to build a stable democracy, something the region desperately needs right now, and I am hopeful they are on the right track.
سررت بلقاء مسؤولي التحالف السوري الأميركي @SyriaSAAPP، حيث ناقشنا مستجدات الأوضاع في #سوريا. كان اللقاء فرصة هامة للاستماع إلى آراء السوريين المقيمين في الخارج حول جهود المناصرة التي يقومون بها.
SAAPP member Tarek Naemo engaged in a key diplomatic dialogue during a private dinner with House Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson discussing innovative strategies for Syria’s future and its crucial role in Middle East stability.

A Syrian Jewish group is visiting Damascus after decades of not being able to do so.
They are touring their old houses, the Jewish cemetery, and the historical synagog in Jober near Damascus.
التقى الدكتور عبد الرحمن زنابيلي والدكتور طارق كتيله والسيدة علياء نطفجي والسيد عبد الحميد العاقل بالسفير التركي سيدات أونال في مقر إقامته بواشنطن العاصمة، أمس، لمناقشة الحاجة الملحة لوضع استراتيجية جديدة بشأن سوريا.
وأكّد اللقاء على ضرورة إعطاء الأولوية للاستقرار والتعافي الاقتصادي والأمن الإقليمي في سوريا التي تمر بمفترق طرق حاسم. وقد أسهمت العقوبات المستمرة في تفاقم الانهيار الاقتصادي وتعمّق المعاناة الإنسانية، مما يفرض تبني نهج جديد وعملي. وشدد الحضور على الدور المحوري لتركيا في تشكيل مستقبل المنطقة، وأهمية الحوار الاستراتيجي في رسم الطريق إلى الأمام.
وقد أعرب الوفد عن تقديرهم لوقت السفير أونال ورؤيته المستقبلية، وأبدوا تطلعهم لمواصلة المناقشات حول الحلول التي تدعم الشعب السوري وتعزز الاستقرار على المدى الطويل.

Yesterday, Dr. Abdulrahman Zanabili, Dr. Tarek Ktele, Alia Natafgi, and Abdulhamid Akel met with Turkish Ambassador Sedat Önal at his residence in Washington, D.C., to discuss the urgent need for a new strategy on Syria.
With Syria at a crossroads, it is essential to prioritize stabilization, economic recovery, and regional security. The ongoing sanctions have contributed to economic collapse and deepened humanitarian suffering, creating challenges that require a fresh, pragmatic approach. Turkey plays a key role in shaping the region’s future, and strategic dialogue is crucial in navigating the path forward.
We appreciate Ambassador Önal’s time and insights and look forward to continued discussions on solutions that support the Syrian people and foster long-term stability.

Proud to have joined @SyriaSAAPP in Washington, D.C., advocating for the lifting of sanctions on Syria. As Syrian Americans, we met with senators and congressmen to highlight the devastating impact these sanctions have on innocent civilians, blocking access to essential resources and hindering Syria’s rebuilding efforts.
Sanctions shouldn’t punish ordinary people. It’s time for change. Grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones who share the same passion for this cause. Thank you to SAAPP for organizing this critical effort!
