$MEITUAN-W(03690)$ $Alibaba(BABA)$ Investing is never just about numbers. It’s also about narratives, conviction, and the trade-off between safety and opportunity. This week, that age-old question resurfaced in dramatic fashion as two of China’s biggest internet companies, Meituan (03690.HK) and Alibaba (BABA), unveiled earnings that sent their stock prices in opposite directions. The divergence was striking. Meituan’s latest report showed pressure on profitability, triggering a sharp sell-off in its shares. In contrast, Alibaba surprised to the upside, rallying more than 12% in a single day after its earnings release. On the earnings call, Meituan CEO Wang Xing tried to reframe the market’s disappointme

Seeing a ton of posts about options selling being a cheat code, money printer, etc. Can I provide a cautionary tale of the risks? In November 2021, I decided to wheel a decent chunk of money. $SOFI had just come off a triple beat, was still cheaper than its competitors like $UPST, $AFRM, $HOOD, etc., had a massive catalyst coming in the bank charter, was my highest conviction stock, and had great premiums. The stock was stabilizing after those earnings in the mid $20s. There was a secondary offering and they announced the redemption of their warrants and the stock dropped. I thought it was an opportunity and I sold CSPs when it was in the low 20s at a $19 strike. It immediately dropped to the $17-$18 range. I got assigned. But I was "smart", I was deploying the capital in three chunks in c

You are weighing two classic investment mindsets—contrarian (underdog) versus momentum (major trend). Both have merit, but the context matters. --- The Underdog Case (Meituan) Valuation Compression: After a steep sell-off, the stock may be trading at a discount relative to its fundamentals, making upside potential more attractive if execution improves. Asymmetric Payoff: Negative sentiment may already be priced in, so any positive catalyst (e.g., easing competition, better margins, regulatory tailwinds) could trigger outsized gains. Long-Term Positioning: If you believe Meituan can defend market share and eventually monetise new initiatives, the current weakness could be a buying opportunity. Risk: Catching the underdog requires patience and conviction, as underperformance can persist for

$Alibaba(BABA)$ $MEITUAN(MPNGF)$ The market is buzzing as September 2025 unfolds, with Alibaba (BABA) soaring 12% to $142.30 after a stellar earnings report, while Meituan-W (03690) slumped to HK$92.90 following a profit warning and an 89% net profit drop. Wednesday’s earnings from Meituan revealed intense competition eroding margins, yet CEO Wang Xing’s bold claim—“In a big competition, being the underdog is the most exciting position to be in”—ignites debate. With BABA riding a major trend and Meituan eyeing a comeback, investors face a pivotal choice. Should you chase BABA’s momentum or bet on Meituan’s resilience? This deep dive explores the stakes, risks, and rewards, backed by data and market shift

$Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ should I close this? $Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ has been a rough ride for the past year. Perhaps I should take the profit now, even it isn't much. 

I’m starting this week focused on Alibaba $Alibaba(BABA)$ $Alibaba(09988)$ after its better-than-expected earnings drove a strong surge. The company’s push to revitalize Taobao and expand instant retail shows it can still generate growth despite headwinds. After years of underperformance, this move feels like a potential turning point and a sign of renewed investor confidence. Still, I’m cautious about chasing the rally. The beat gives Alibaba momentum, but China’s market remains volatile with regulatory and macro risks. I’ll be watching if the stock can hold above resistance and turn it into support, rather than seeing short-term profit-taking. Overall, my mood is neutral-to-optimistic. I see Alibab
