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.

Charlie Munger almost doubles his $BABA position in Q4!

On the back of an 82% add last quarter too

$DADA and $JD

$DADA's goal is to empower stores to have the ability to deliver everything to their customers within an hour on-demand. $JD owns 51% of $DADA. Here is a thread on the things you need to know as a $DADA or $JD investor.

Let's get started 👇👇

1. The Chinese E-commerce Market – Growth
The China E-commerce market has grown rapidly over the past decade and is poised to continue to grow for the coming decades.

2. China E-commerce as a % of total sales
Despite strong growth, Chinese E-commerce share has only taken up 24.9% of the total retail sales in consumer goods in 2020. There is still great potential in the coming 5-10 years in Chinese E-commerce.

3. The 3 phrases of E-commerce in China
The first phrase of E-commerce is when products are delivered in days, the second phrase delivered under 24 hours, and the third phrase, ‘on-demand’, products are being delivered within an hour. China is currently entering the third phase.

4. On-Demand Delivery Orders
China has experienced rapid growth in total on-demand delivery orders over the past couple years. As of 2019, there are more than 18 billion total on-demand orders delivered, a growth of 36.93%.

$JD Health and $BABA AliHealth

$JD Health and $BABA Ali Health are $JD and $BABA's newest competition ground and the two biggest online medical platforms in China . Here is a thread on the things you need to know for $JD health and $Ali health.

Let’s get started! 👇👇

1. Problem
China have MANY medical problems. These include: poor structure of the Chinese medical system, inadequate/unequal resources, long waiting time, expensive medical services, sub-par medical quality and insufficient or unskilled medical staff.

2. Long waiting time
It is very inconvenient to visit a doctor in China unless you go to expensive private ones. There is not a clear distinction between a GP and a specialist, causing many elderlies, to crowd the hospital even when they only have a small medical issue.

2.1 A typical hospital visit in China may take up to 2-3 hours, half a day, or even a full day. You can basically image a Chinese hospital is like your favorite next door grocery stores constantly at 120%-200% capacity.

3. Medical Expenditure
Although the Chinese medical system has been improving, it is still unorganised and inefficient, causing medical services/medicine to be ‘expensive’, especially to low-income earners in China. Medical service is more expensive in China than the US % wise.

@Rosanna_Trades I had $BIDU at $185 as a trade during the Archegos blow up & sold a couple days later near $220~

I’ve heard good things about $JD but not as informed on it at the moment & near fully invested so not much to throw into a new position 🤷🏼‍♂️

@bkaellner @nedunchzlian But WE sadly dont know the size of the bet
