[ask] IPO, Population, and Supply

Hi, I am new here and need your help.

1. When I should create new shares? Should I create as much as possible or by demand?

2. Should I sell my own company shares or just keep it?

3. How to increase population quickly? (Not by buying it. I don't have enough GC to purchase in direct trading)

4. I want to stock various supplies for my companies, store the supplies in the country, and order my companies to buy directly from my country. Is it possible? How can i do that?

5. How can i lower the price/earning index? What should i do?

6. What is the ideal index for health & transportation? 100? 200?

Thank you

1) I don't know much about it, I let the game create new ones
2) IPOing has benefits, you can gain a reasonable about of money from the transactions: you can sell down to 24.98% and make it public, Thus allowing it upgrade Q and Effective more, giving more people back to the workforce.
3) Exchange high level professions like HTE, HTS, doctors, senior docs, etc. to poorer less educated countries for LLW, MLW and HLW. Be careful to not give away your people bc you may go beyond limit to run buildings/corps at 100%
4) No you can't contract country to corps, but you can contract your product to your country and then trade the product back to various corps in need. The downside is the corps would be buying High Q materials and could possible make a low to negative profit
5) lower taxes, lower profit transfer(I'm not sure if this works), reduce requested material Q to raise the profit per month. Try taxes fi

Thank you Brandon, your answer help me a lot
