Lots of good value in the market. I bumped up my 401K contributions to the MAX at Amazon, including a good chunk going into AMZN stock.

Today I'm going BACK in the market.
I've learned that I would probably be about even right now if I hadn't touched it.
I've lost about 10% through it all.
Would do it all over again for the sense of security. [Reply]

It'll probably hurt short term sentiment but that's about all. Worst case is they end up trading OTC, Id think. The other big Chinese tech conglomerate Tencent trades OTC now. Lots of foreign companies don't bother with the time, regulations, cost of listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ.
If there was much of a chance US investors we're gonna get wrecked, the share price would be trading like an airline [Reply]
