In this edition of Battle Of The Stocks, we look at two Chinese heavyweights in the online space, Alibaba [BABA] and JD.com [JD]. Both these companies are giants in China’s multi-billion dollar domestic market.
Shares of both the companies have been negatively impacted in recent times. There are concerns over China’s slowing economic growth. China’s economic growth slumped to a 9-year low of 6.5% in Q3 2018.
The mounting debt and trade war with the United States are weighing in on China. This has severely impacted the country’s domestic stocks as well. While Alibaba shares have declined 13% this year, JD.com shares are down a significant 53% in 2018.
So which stock is a more attractive buy at current levels? Read on to find out.
Market Cap
Driven by the massive increase in share prices, the market cap of Alibaba and JD.com had grown significantly till the start of 2018. The recent pullback has led to a fall in investor returns.
Alibaba was listed on the stock exchange in Sept. 2014 on the back of a record-breaking IPO (initial public offer). The stock rose 137% between its IPO and June 2018.
Comparatively, JD.com was listed in May 2014 and the stock has gained close to 150% between its IPO date and Feb. 2018.
While Alibaba’s market cap is $386B, JD.com has a market cap of $27.8B. However past returns are not an indicator of future price movements.
So let’s look at revenue, profitability and growth estimates for the two companies. These metrics are key drivers for stocks and have a significant impact on prices.
I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.
I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxesin perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.
(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)
There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before.
Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.
But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.
PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀 PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.
If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.
Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲
This is my office for the day…
I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.
It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.
(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)
Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.
This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥
Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.
Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.
Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.
MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝
(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)
One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)
Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.
