People wasting too much time arguing about something they have no skin in the game.
If you shop on BABA, you got nothing to complain about. You got what you paid for. BABA has a return policy - if you did not get the goods you paid for, you can return them.
If you are holding BABA stock from over $100, you are screwed. But don't worry, the stock will come back. Just have to wait for a while.
If you missed the first round of opportunity to make money on BABA stock, you can wait a bit for the stock to come down a bit more. You will make money.
If you are none of the above, you should quit giving your worthless comments or opinions
A lot of the comments here show some people are clueless. The whole episode about BABA can be a good thing in the long run,
Winners- Chinese consumers,
Biggest losers--Foreign investors who have BABA stock.
Neutral --for Allibaba, short term bad, long term good.
It is just that simple.
If you have no basic understanding of finance & business, you can make yourself look stupid by making silly comments.
拿建立在法律、business practice standard and ethics、business creditability 基础上的美国，和个人权威重于一切，视法律如儿戏，轻易践踏执法机构权力，执法机构出言颠三倒四、缺乏基本法律常识的中国比，是否更加显得美国社会在商业领域的公平、公正、民主！
至于美国投资者是否了解阿里的假货横行？ 是否相信Jack Ma的言语行为的可靠性？中、小投资者我不清楚，但是hedge funds及其SF/LA/NYC的VCs心里很清楚。elon musk曾经抱怨过在阿里平台上买到劣货假货的time machinery。这次阿里上市，除了为Wall Street hedge funds 打前阵的CNBC大肆渲染，及其several top hedge fund managers Soros,Dan Loeb, David Tepper, Leon Copperman对阿里有利益上的浓厚兴趣外，其他如巴菲特、 Paul Johnson都没有加入阿里上市的炒作，更别说极端重视创新科技的硅谷发出的零声音。
这就是个另类丛林时代，这里的规则是，骗你了吗？骗了，那怎么办？不知道，可下回还接着骗，还有再下回。
人类自我宣称的每一次进步，其实都是少数人欺骗大多数人的游戏而已。所以，别当真。
