@koolgal:🏆🏆🏆It was a nail biting finish to last night's match between Vietnam and Thailand with a 2-2 Draw. Both sides played well but I was disappointed that Vietnam did not win decisively in their home ground Hanoi. Thailand now has the upper hand when they meet Vietnam on Monday 16 January as it will be held in Bangkok. Nonetheless I know the Golden Star Warriors will play their best on Monday. A lot is at stake for the 2 teams. May The Best Team Win the AFF Cup 2022. 🚀🚀🚀⚽⚽🏆🏆🏆😍😍😍 @CaptainTiger @MillionaireTiger @TigerStars

Fool","summary":"Alibaba is facing enormous competition in its e-commerce business.","content":"<p>Once the shining star of China's tech industry, <b>Alibaba</b> (NYSE:BABA) is falling back to earth. The e-commerce titan is down over 30% from peak levels, having been walloped by regulatory investigations in the U.S. and China.</p>\n<p>Investing legend Charlie Munger sees this as an opportunity. In April, Munger revealed he had bought a $37 million stake in Alibaba via the <b>Daily Journal Corporation</b> (NASDAQ: DJCO), where Munger sits as chairman. Some investors were left scratching their heads over this decision. Others wonder if they should do the same thing.</p>\n<p>There's no doubt that Alibaba is now cheaper than it was a year ago -- but that's purely from a valuation standpoint. Investors shouldn't rush to buy the dip before knowing two of the company's biggest risks.</p>\n<h2><b>1. Alibaba's cash cow is swimming with sharks</b></h2>\n<p>Founded in 1999 as a platform for small businesses to sell their products via the internet, Alibaba has since expanded far beyond e-commerce. It's ventured into many other industries, such as cloud computing and entertainment.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake. E-commerce is by far the largest Alibaba segment, generating 87% of the group's annual revenue. This business is also highly profitable, delivering $29.7 billion in adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in fiscal 2021.</p>\n<p>For years, many players have tried to loosen Alibaba's grip on China's e-commerce industry. The likes of <b>JD.com</b> (NASDAQ:JD), <b>Vipshop Holdings</b> (NYSE:VIPS), and <b>NetEase</b> (NASDAQ:NTES) have been formidable rivals, but never posed a serious threat. That all changed when <b>Pinduoduo</b> (NASDAQ:PDD) arrived on the scene in 2015.</p>\n<p>A few smart moves set the company up for success. From the get-go, Pinduoduo targeted users from rural areas. This meant it would avoid directly competing with industry incumbents.&nbsp;Pinduoduo also focused on being a mobile-only, social e-commerce platform. This allowed it to ride the explosion of mobile devices -- and social media -- to turbocharge its own growth.

The e-commerce titan is down over 30% from peak levels, having been walloped by regulatory investigations in the U.S. and China.\nInvesting legend Charlie Munger sees this as an opportunity. In April, Munger revealed he had bought a $37 million stake in Alibaba via the Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ: DJCO), where Munger sits as chairman. Some investors were left scratching their heads over this decision. Others wonder if they should do the same thing.\nThere's no doubt that Alibaba is now cheaper than it was a year ago -- but that's purely from a valuation standpoint. Investors shouldn't rush to buy the dip before knowing two of the company's biggest risks.\n1. Alibaba's cash cow is swimming with sharks\nFounded in 1999 as a platform for small businesses to sell their products via the internet, Alibaba has since expanded far beyond e-commerce. It's ventured into many other industries, such as cloud computing and entertainment.\nBut make no mistake. E-commerce is by far the largest Alibaba segment, generating 87% of the group's annual revenue. This business is also highly profitable, delivering $29.7 billion in adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in fiscal 2021.\nFor years, many players have tried to loosen Alibaba's grip on China's e-commerce industry. The likes of JD.com (NASDAQ:JD), Vipshop Holdings (NYSE:VIPS), and NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) have been formidable rivals, but never posed a serious threat. That all changed when Pinduoduo (NASDAQ:PDD) arrived on the scene in 2015.\nA few smart moves set the company up for success. From the get-go, Pinduoduo targeted users from rural areas. This meant it would avoid directly competing with industry incumbents. Pinduoduo also focused on being a mobile-only, social e-commerce platform. This allowed it to ride the explosion of mobile devices -- and social media -- to turbocharge its own growth. On top of that, an early partnership with Tencent (OTC:TCEHY), which owns a 15.6% stake in Pinduoduo, helped the company leverage WeChat to acquire users rapidly and cheaply.\nToday, Pinduoduo has 824 million active buyers on its platform. It hit a milestone in the fourth quarter of 2020 when it overtook Alibaba in terms of active buyers -- making it China's biggest e-commerce platform by this measure. It is also outpacing Alibaba in terms of growth. Pinduoduo's revenue surged 239% in its latest fiscal quarter, while Alibaba's commerce revenue grew 72% over the same period.\nFor now, Alibaba is still holding on to its crown. Its e-commerce business generates over seven times as much revenue as Pinduoduo's. And Alibaba is taking on Pinduoduo by launching its own version of group-buying services and expanding its e-commerce business in rural areas.\nFrom a revenue perspective, Alibaba is still -- by far -- the elephant in the room. But Pinduoduo is a threat Alibaba can no longer ignore. If Pinduoduo continues expanding at the same rate, it will soon start eating into Alibaba's market share and growth.\n2. Alibaba's newer ventures are mostly unprofitable\nSo far, we've addressed the bear case for Alibaba: an increasingly competitive e-commerce industry, and intensifying regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. and China. But bulls argue that Alibaba's fast-growing new businesses could transform it into China's version of Amazon -- a company with more than one success story.\nAlibaba's business empire includes logistics division Cainiao, cloud computing service Alibaba Cloud, and streaming platform Youku. These ventures have shown great potential and, in the long run, could help diversify Alibaba's revenue. Some of these businesses are also growing rapidly. For example, Alicloud -- the biggest cloud infrastructure company in China -- grew revenue by 50% in fiscal 2021.

Fool","summary":"Alibaba is facing enormous competition in its e-commerce business.","content":"<p>Once the shining star of China's tech industry, <b>Alibaba</b> (NYSE:BABA) is falling back to earth. The e-commerce titan is down over 30% from peak levels, having been walloped by regulatory investigations in the U.S. and China.</p>\n<p>Investing legend Charlie Munger sees this as an opportunity. In April, Munger revealed he had bought a $37 million stake in Alibaba via the <b>Daily Journal Corporation</b> (NASDAQ: DJCO), where Munger sits as chairman. Some investors were left scratching their heads over this decision. Others wonder if they should do the same thing.</p>\n<p>There's no doubt that Alibaba is now cheaper than it was a year ago -- but that's purely from a valuation standpoint. Investors shouldn't rush to buy the dip before knowing two of the company's biggest risks.</p>\n<h2><b>1. Alibaba's cash cow is swimming with sharks</b></h2>\n<p>Founded in 1999 as a platform for small businesses to sell their products via the internet, Alibaba has since expanded far beyond e-commerce. It's ventured into many other industries, such as cloud computing and entertainment.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake. E-commerce is by far the largest Alibaba segment, generating 87% of the group's annual revenue.

The e-commerce titan is down over 30% from peak levels, having been walloped by regulatory investigations in the U.S. and China.\nInvesting legend Charlie Munger sees this as an opportunity. In April, Munger revealed he had bought a $37 million stake in Alibaba via the Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ: DJCO), where Munger sits as chairman. Some investors were left scratching their heads over this decision. Others wonder if they should do the same thing.\nThere's no doubt that Alibaba is now cheaper than it was a year ago -- but that's purely from a valuation standpoint. Investors shouldn't rush to buy the dip before knowing two of the company's biggest risks.\n1.
