$Alibaba(BABA)$Looks like all the bad news have dissipated and a slew of good news such as the big purchase of baba ADRs by charlie munger… reappearance of jack ma in spain.. the unveilingof new 5nm server chips… and the upcoming singles day (11.11) should help topropel the price higher…  So.. back to business fundamentals… with all the regulatory headwinds.. fines.. clampdowns.. force opening of its ecosystem etc.. baba revenue is still increasing.. so there is nothing wrong with the company even though the market has reacted negatively.. which is great news for long term investors such as charlie munger and others who went in to scoop up baba at grossly undervalued prices [Miser] [Miser] 

$Alibaba(BABA)$”Bad news” is still coming in but the share prices of most chinese stocks are nolonger dropping .. some are already rising .. this shows that most of the speculators have sold out their positions and hedge funds have also trimmed their positions enough.. what remains are investors who look at the fundamentals and long term growth and are buying in at these grossly undervalued prices now .. i am hoping for another drop to hit my next strike price before it goes to the moon [Sly] 

$Alibaba(BABA)$”Be greedy when the market is fearful and be fearful when the market is greedy”Quote from Warren Buffett..Now is a good time to be greedy..

$PING AN(02318)$On my watchlist.. This company is quite undervalued now.. it is the market leader in china on both life and non-life insurance.. itis also diversifying into other areas such as asset management, financial services, healthcare etc. The recent news where the regulators is probing into the property investment may seem like a bad thing, but it is actually good in the long run because it ensures that the company is transparent in its accounting and be a responsible major player in the industry where many people rely on them as a lifeline when they are met with unforeseen circumstances.. I believe there is very good growth in the long run if the company continue to diversify into more areas that can complement the insurance busin

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$Big movements, but price is essentially going sideways… fundamentals of the company are strong.. this is a long term growth stock… good time to play options to get some cash flow.. prices should be range bound between 19 and 27 until some broad market movement or until the next earnings call

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$is a companythat is not very well understood by many people. According to wikipedia, it is a company that is into big data analytics. On their own website, they indicate that they make products for human-driven analysis of real-world data. This is all very abstract and thus many people are unable to value the company properly because it does not fall nicely into any category. Broadly speaking, what they actually do is to use their custom software tools to make sense of huge volumes of data coming in from many sources to spot patterns and trends which human in the loop analysts can then use these findings to improve the company or discover new directions or issues to solve..What is more important howeve

This is part 2 of Demystifying Options... If you are not familiar with options, I would suggest reading my first post: Demystifying Options Part 1. A short recap on the types of options available... There are 2 types of options - Put option and Call option. You can buy and sell both of them. This post will be discussing about SELLING put options. I noticed that some authors are not clear about the terms in their postings. They would say they are buying options when in fact they are selling options and if you follow them blindly, it could be a costly mistake. There is a BIG difference between SELLING options and BUYING options. It is very important that you understand what you are doing before you execute the trade, otherwise it is almost guaranteed that you will lose money. Selling Pu

$SHENG SIONG GROUP LTD(OV8.SI)$Would Singaporeans heed government advise to stay homeas much as possible these few weeks based on the rising number of covid cases? Or if the cases continue to grow exponentially… would the govt announce another lockdown and cause sheng siong shares to shoot up? [Thinking] 

$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$So… the relationship between how attractive REITs is compared to high quality bonds such as those issued by treasury… the result of tapering and raising of interest rates are:1) Fed tapers bond buying -> bond yield rises because less buyers, so yields go up to attract more buyers.2) Bonds guarantee capital, so safer than REITs, more people buy bonds instead of REITs.. REITs price drops3) Feds raise interest rates -> Debt servicing becomes more expensive.. REITs borrow to finance their property acquisition.. so rising interest means more income needed to pay down the interest..means less overall income for distribution to shareholders means drop in dividends payout and REITs becomes less
