May as well hold until earnings next week. Likely a big holiday season for them could get the price to 135-140. Or they could be pulled from the US market altogether and then who knows what will happen with your investment

Baba is the rare exception in Chinese stocks. The power they have as the biggest company in what will soon become the largest economy. They will be bigger than Amazon one day since the population they are attracting as a customer base will be way larger. Hold tight it’s going to be a huge one day.

Only if the government decides to let them. Evergrand was the largest Reak Estate developer in the largest RE market in the world. Then the government decided they didn't like their debt structure and they are just about gone in 12 months.

You can't apply US rules countries with undeveloped legal structure. Even South Korea is treated as an emerging market due to their legal structures.

You didn’t actually own baba anyway. You owned shares in a shell company that has claims to its profits that of course can be revoked at any time. So you really just owned baba-coin.

I had 10% of my portfolio in BABA just a few months ago. Average cost is $210. I sold most a few weeks ago… sometimes you just gotta take a loss.

All of this negativity means BUY. I’m going to buy more and make all the $ back that I lost by buying the dip at $250. I’m joking, not going to ever invest in F’ing China again…but honestly it’s a great opportunity.

Just get out, in the long run that’s such a small amount money. Not only are you losing more and more each day of that value but you are missing out in having the capital remaining in something much better.

Get out immediately. I was in the same boat. Sold all Baba beginning of the year. You can show Capital loss on your taxes next year and reduce your taxable income!

I guess the mainstream is talking about baba. I was wondering why I’m hearing about it more than usual today.

If you sell, make sure you put the money back in another investment that you have more conviction on. Unless you think holding Cash is better for now. If it does recover some you’ll be kicking yourself that you didn’t partake in the upswing.

Something tells me it will just go into government hands

In Charlie Munger we trust

Unless it’s a reciprocity and endorsing investment to guarantee market access to their existing more material holdings.

Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
