$BABA-W (09988.HK)$
As a swe, i once had an interview oppotunity with an famous payment company, therefore got a little understanding on how payment system works in the US. First, you got your banks and credit cards, on top of that you got Visa/Master payment systems, on top of that you got your payment APIs(paypal/square/stripe). It is layer by layer, adding on over the years.
In China, all those things above are in one, Alipay + Ant group. It is way more efficent and convinient, used by everybody. I dont see any of those on the balance sheet. I only see BABA is being valued as a e-commerce company(with p/e 16), which is comletely false. It is way way way way more than a e-commerce company. not even mention the cloud businesses.
If Munger buying it at 200. I would not suprise it would hit 2000 one day.

One of my favourite MooMoo features is the AI Monitor. This feature is completely automated and covers 6 markets: US, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Canada and Australia. The smart pegging function monitors the real-time changes in the market.
This feature automatically helps investors monitor the changes in various markets and stocks, highlighting more investment opportunities, hence, making investment decisions easier.
The AI Monitor is mainly for monitoring a variety of changes. It can help investors monitor the abnormal movements of all stocks. It also reduces the missed trading opportunities. And, to make investments much more manageable.
This feature can help us save time, which is indeed significant.
I, particularly, like that AI Monitor balances the demands between observation of broad market forces versus a narrow focus.
With AI Monitor feature, Mooers can avoid loading up screens with multiple charts and even losing out on investment opportunities.
I simply love the “float bar” to get me alerted ( without opening the AI Monitor tab separately ). Once you activate it, you can drag it to wherever you like within the app.
Please bear in mind that the AI Monitor is to alert you that something is moving without paying much time on the screen. But ultimately, it is your job to do the due diligence next.
No matter where you are, MooMoo allows you to access the market through AI Monitor without missing any investment opportunities. Just a peek and you can take action efficiently, when a signal appears.
The AI monitor mainly includes two parts. One part is for the single stock, and the other part is for the whole market.
I do fancy the intuitive interface as well as the built-in AI monitor. This amazing feature really helps me shorten time to find investment opportunities and to seize opportunities in an ever-changing markets in the most timely manner.
AI Monitor allows Mooers to set parameters such as bottom rebound, top reversal, nosedive or change is up 7%, etc… which allows us to immediately catch which way the stock is going. It allows various monitoring of groups such as the whole market, watchlists, indices or by sectors.
Investors can leverage on AI Monitor function to automatically monitor changes in each market and all stocks of their choices. This will allow us to stay updated on stock fluctuations, increase in trading volumes and seize fleeting investment opportunities.
Truly, I feel this is an excellent feature and really helpful for both beginner investors and veteran ones. Savvy investors should embrace this cutting-edge technology: Artificial Intelligence Monitor which will take trading into new realms.
Let us embrace AI Monitor to be ahead of the curve!
