@MadConX There seems to be a lot of short-term pain coming $BABA's way: lower consumption due to the lock-downs, another wave of regulation in the fintech sphere, cloud as a matter of national security and an increased focus on state-owned cloud providers.

Decreased growth and margins have likely led to multiple contraction. Furthermore, in a developing market like China, stocks tend to be highly volatile. Then there's the "China image" problem in the eyes of a western investor.

But *despite* all these headwinds, $BABA has been increasing it's free cash flow, has been quickly adapting to the changing regulatory environment and - my favorite - has a spawner's mentality.

Shirt-term trends look bad and some threats will stay long-term (CCP, the image, competition). The environment has been and will be challenging.

Yet $BABA is adapting and compounding. This says a lot about the culture they have and it makes me really confident about the future.
