Thanks Boz. I wish I hadn't sold those 265 shares I bought last week! I'll add a few shares and keep doing that (which is what I do w/ Apple) and plan to hold. Do you think if there's a downturn in the US market it will effect BABA?
I'm sitting in Washington DC (actually, Arlington) watching college football....pining for the days I can move home (Florida). Hope you're having a great weekend!
Spent a good amount of time in Arlington/DC, Cleveland heights area... Florida looks good after DC winters..I know.
We miss Pho 75... badly. We talk about that place all the time and how they can figure out who's bill is who's at the front counter.
If you've never been it's be best PHO I've ever had outside of being in Asia.
Lucky bastard...lol.

I've been to Pho 75 several times. Great place in Rosslyn. I used to live in Ballston, then Clarendon, then bought the house I'm in in 2011. Did you ever go to Eden Center? It's a shopping center that is now all Asian food, markets, restaurants, etc. Some great Asian. It's in the Falls Church area. I have a friend that lived in Cleveland Heights, got robbed/mugged one night - they stole his cell phone, wallet, and car! They got arrested and he had to go to court over it, the two guys ended up getting 10 years. My buddy was in Georgetown med school at the time.

crazy science,
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/twist...120000866.html
Twist ...Bought at 62..sold 1/2 at 90 bought back the half around 104.00 - 114 .00 today...
I sorta wonder if this isn't a +300 dollar company in 2021?
Scary point to buy right now, it's run has been unreal..DNA storage is hard to figure.. where and how much it works exactly, how much it is to produce who can produce it and is it propriety?..The storage capability is the one big seller ...case closed. I love this but so many questions the same questions I had when a sold at 90..but then forgot when I bought back.
TWST is a head scratcher.....Still waiting on a Ginko IOP in 2021.
BABA rowan capital report.
On the drive if anyone is interested .

beat earnings by .17...122.00 today up another 6%.
Looking for a pull back...Please
Mist opened up 100% at the bell.. how did you manage to leave money on the table?
Also ABUS was halted not MIST. ABUS was a shot in the dark I'd bet, it's not often you find a stock worth investing in because it's litigating a judgment VS a major Pharma. Pretty unbelievable you found the 1 and 2 % movers in the market today...
If you like real risk in a Pharma in litigation check out MNK
Great book value/great product line and they have a few products in the FDA pipe now (3rd phase) The stock price has been absolutely crushed under massive pressure of litigation.
Bankruptcy around the corner.. the stocks being shorted heavily when a bankruptcy is announced this will go up 15% off the bat.
Decent play if you like chapter 11s' ..Look at the balance sheet it's sorta unreal the stock is 2.34 but the law suits again..could be right up your alley.
Let me know what you think value and maybe from legal standpoint if you will... I'm curious.

I added a few shares of BABA again today.
This is huge and something I've been waiting on ..Imagine living in mainland China and not being able to invest in BABA only because it's traded of the Hang Seng markets. The CCP has controlled who's able to traded 'southbound' on the HS exchange. Both BABA and JD finally got included after being turned away twice for inclusion. This means retail investors on the mainland with be able to buy BABA and JD on the open market in Hong Kong for the first time ever....It'll be a massive inflow of capital announcement tomorrow.

China Market Update: Alibaba, JD.com, And NetEase Rise On Southbound Stock Connect Inclusion
Asian equities largely celebrated Janet Yellen leading the US Treasury, the beginning of Biden’s transition, and the positive vaccine progress, with Japan returning from its three-day weekend gaining +2%. The Hang Seng managed a small gain that masked a weaker day than the 50 stock index would indicate. The index was led higher by Hong Kong volume leader Alibaba BABA +3.6% Hong Kong, which rose +2.27% on a Mainland media report that Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam will announce on Wednesday an expansion of Southbound Connect, the trading venue that allows Mainland Chinese investors to buy Hong Kong stocks, to include US-listed companies’ Hong Kong listings and Hong Kong-listed biotech stocks. How much money could flow into Alibaba’s Hong Kong listing? Looking at Southbound ownership as a percentage of shares outstanding, Mainland investors own 4.17% of Tencent and 6.42% of Meituan. So, this is real money flowing potentially into Alibaba Hong Kong, JD.com Hong Kong, which rose +1.04%, NetEase NTES +2.9%, which rose +1.55%, and Yum China Hong Kong, which rose +0.38%. Other volume leaders were Tencent, which fell -0.34%, Xiaomi, which fell -1.63%, BYD, which rose +0.81, Meituan, which fell -1.49%, Hong Kong Exchange, which gained +4.03% after announcing a new settlement platform for Northbound Connect, Ping An, which was off -1.24%, and Geely Auto, which gained +2.35%. While Tencent and Meituan were off as US dual listing stocks rose, it is worth noting that both stocks were bought heavily in Southbound Connect trading.
There is chatter that Ping An’s valuation could be questioned after the announcement that Ant Group will be regulated more as a bank than as a fintech company, which is similar to Ping An’s efforts to be valued more as a fintech company than as an insurance company based on numerous successful investments in the space. Hong Kong is implementing increased social distancing on Hong Kong’s 4th wave, though healthcare stocks were off. Shanghai & Shenzhen were both off -0.34% on profit-taking in growth sectors, while many are predicting cyclical stocks to outperform as China’s economic rebound expands. Northbound Stock Connect had a small outflow driven by a few larger stock sales on the Shanghai. CNY was off a touch to 6.58 while the bond market stabilizes.
Baozun’s Hong Kong listing followed its US listing down overnight despite what looked to be strong earnings. We are starting to see analysts opine on the strong Q3 earnings, which could give the stock some support. There are reports that a respected hedge fund manager is coming to the defense of JOYY (YY US), following a fraud allegation last week and the company’s strong denial. I don’t Tweet often but for intra-day updates, I can be followed at @ahern_brendan.
