$Alibaba (BABA.US)$When entering a new position, I like to buy it slowly over a period of a year or longer. This reduces the impact of starting valuations and short term market movements on my long term returns. Alibaba is a perfect example of how dollar cost averaging can reduce volatility even if you think you're buying the dip on a heavily undervalued company.
Of course, this advice is relatively non-controversial and not very practical for people have already invested heavily in Alibaba, so I won't spend any more time on it.

What’s the saying? “When you feel like you’d rather cut your d#%* off with a knife than than add to your position it’s time to buy more shares” ?

Alibaba has to address three issues: 1. Fake Transactions; 2. Fake Comments; 3. Fake Products. Until these problems are solved, its accounting cannot be trusted. However, Alibaba is unwilling to deal with these problems.

That’s just like saying the global warming is caused by your fart. A baseless allegation. Pls provide source otherwise. I happen to use several products of Alibaba for several years now.

The suffering is self inflicted.
