In this exuberant market, investors seems to be more fearless than before. Many of them are buying in the stock market despite having a high inflation rate. Has the money printer come back again. Vinfast, an auto company from Vietnam has grown to the 2nd largest auto company in the world. This has not lasted very long and has deep dived back down to the $20-30 range.

Everyone mention GRAB is a must buy stock. Just because GRAB is popular in SE Asia, does not mean that it is a good company to invest in.By looking at the recent earning, it has lost huge sum of money.

As an investor, hearing that so many people unsatisfied with the platform. I wonder how many people have left the customer base? How much cash has left the super app / cash wallet? Grab might have save some cash on the rewards since many platform have downplay the rewards, but with such expensive services on Grab, how appealing is it for existing customer to continue and for new customer to join.
