Jetzt massiv eindecken ?

Diese Aktie ist nur etwas für Leute, die nicht wissen wohin mit ihrem Geld. Ich bin relativ von Anfang an in dieser Aktie investiert und sehe seitdem nur eine Abwärtsbewegung. Ich habe wie viele an diese tolle, erfolgsvesprechende Geschichte geglaubt, aber was nun übrig bleibt ist ein Haufen Scherben. Finger weg von diesem Titel kann ich nur jedem raten. Ich dachte permanent "schlimmer geht's nimmer" und das war bei Euro 2,87, "vielleicht schafft sie es ja doch noch" etc. bla bla bla. So ein Mist! Wahrscheinlich fühlen sich hier jetzt wieder einige auf den Schlips getreten, weil dies wenig produktives mit sich zieht, aber ich kann auch nicht mehr die schlauen Sprüche von den Leuten hören, die auch nur noch einen ct. auf diese Aktie verwetten.

 Bist du denn noch investiert?

Es gibt doch nur zwei Möglichkeiten: 1. Entweder verkaufen und Verluste realiesieren.

2. Nachkaufen, um den Durchschnittspreis zu senken.

Ich bin auch ungefähr auf deinem Niveau eingestiegen, habe aber nachgekauft und liege nun im Durchschnitt bei 1 € je Aktie. Das sieht dann schon nicht mehr ganz so düster aus.

Sieht doch ganz so aus. Alibaba wird trotz des mächtige Rebounds wohl nicht gleich zu neuen Höhen stürmen. Mit der Zeit wird sich die Marktdominanz aber immer mehr herauskristalisieren, was den Kurs mittelfristig auch über die höchsten IPO-Kurs bringen sollte.
Bei Alibaba.com wird sich den Netzwerkeffekt in den nächsten Jahren deutlich bemerkbar machen und mehr Kunden bringen. Das Exportgeschäft wird an Bedeutung zurückgehen und der Import nach China an Bedeutung gewinnen. In 2009 rechne ich aufgrund der vielen Initiativen mit deutlichem Wachstum. Lt. Alibaba dauert die Wirkung immer ca. 1 Jahr bis solche Dinge Früchte tragen. Und davon gab es nicht wenige
1) Expansion nach Indien, Großbritannien, Taiwan und Japan
2) Export to China , Trustpass for Individuals
3) Winport
und und und....
Ich habe zumindest bei Ausverkaufskursen verbilligt, so dass mein durchschnittlicher Kaufkurs inzwischen bei 0,71 Euro liegt.

schwer zu glauben Durchschnitt nun bei 71ct !

Weiß nur, das mir das nicht gelungen ist .........obwohl mein erster Kauf bei nur 1,8€ waren......

um da auf 71ct zu kommen ..........da braucht man ordentliches Paket ....und den richtigen Zeitpunkt weit unter dem jetzigen Kurs...

sehen werden. diese scheiss krise nervt langsam.

irgendwann ist Schluß mit lustig....

Seh nur das meine Verluste immer größer wären...hätte ich Sie noch gehalten...

So ein dercks Teil
wir sehen sicherlich noch die 0,30 euro cent bis ende des jahres

sollte die Finanzkriese beendet sein dann ist Alibaba sicherlich wieder interessant
aber das dauert noch Monate

die wirst Du auch brauchen

... gute Zeichen für eine Trendwende.

nur mit Dachziegeln... die Ton-Preise steigen...

:)

Alibaba´s Business wäre von einer weltweiten Rezession betroffen. Ist die zu befürchten ? Nein !
Was ist den schon groß passiert ?
-Rohstoffe sind günstiger geworden - gut für die Unternehmen
-Nachfrage aus Schwellenländern stimmt weiterhin optimistisch
-Bekommen die Firmen noch genug Geld von den Banken ?
Ja - die Krise betrifft bisher nur die Finanzbranche. Hierdurch werden große M&A-Deals schwiriger zu finanzieren sein aber SMEs haben damit nicht viel am Hut.

Ergo - ich rechne innerhalb dieser Woche mit eine vorläufigen Ende des Abwärtstrends. Hier wird bei vielen Unternehmen deutlich übertrieben.

.. das es bei Alibaba wohl kaum einen gibt, der noch im Plus ist.
Im Moment wird alles verkauft wo noch Gewinn drauf ist.

ob hier jemand im Plus ist oder nicht, wichtiger ist, das diese weltweit negative Stimmungs-Phase endlich ein Ende findet und die Märkte langsam zur Ruhe kommen!
Dann wird sich auch die Lage bei Alibaba wieder normalisieren . . .
Ich hoffe wir werden dann eine ganz andere Banken und Finanzwirtschaft vorfinden, die endlich Hagesfonds und Ähnliches verbieten . . .
Es muss endlich wieder der normale Sachverstand, Realität und Logig in den Chefetagen vorherschen, nur dann, werden auch wieder normale Bedingungen da sein worauf jeder aufbauen kann . . .

Ein Trend ist erst beendet wenn er beendet ist. Leider war ich etwas früh in Alibaba engagiert. Ich sehe aber nach wie vor Alibaba als eines der aussichtsreichsten Investments der nächsten Jahre. Alle unterstützenden Trends zeigen mittelfristig deutlich nach oben, nur kurzfristig gibt es ein schwächeres Gewinnwachstum.
Wenn aber die Aussagen des Vorstands stimmen, dass sich Investitionen immer mit einem Jahr Verzögerung in den Zahlen auswirken, dann dürfte 2009 recht erfreulich enden. Man sollte auch bedenken, das Alibaba bei einer derzeitigen Marktkapitalisierung von etwas über 2 Mrd EUR noch ca. 800 Mio. in der Kasse hat und damit bereits die halbe Marktkap. mit Cash unterlegt ist.
Insbesondere die Marktstellung von Alibaba ist eine Kaufargument. Im B2B-Segement ist weit und breit keine ernsthafte Konkurrenz zu entdecken, selbst der zweitgrößte Player Global Sources fällt immer deutlicher hinter Alibaba zurück. Daneben hat Alibaba im Reich der Mitte mit den Schwesterunternehmen Taobao und Alipay eine herausragende, marktdominierende Unterstützung beim weiteren Wachstum in China. Mittelfristig erwarte ich eine weitere Verzahnung der Geschäfte von Alibaba und Taobao, die in China nahezu konkurrenzlos den Bereich der Online Auktionen anführen. Jack Ma sieht man mit der chinesischen Führung von einem internationalen Wirtschaftsevent zum nächsten reisen. Die politische Unterstützung dürfte da wohl ebenfalls gesichert sein. Auf Übernahmen zur Ankurbelung des Wachstums sollte man nicht hoffen, da das Geld wohl im internen Wachstum deutlich besser angelegt ist als sonstwo.
Wer auf Fonds keine Lust hat und sich trotzdem langfristig aussichtsreich für die Abgeltungssteuer positionieren will, der sollte noch vor Jahresfrist zugreifen.

Der jüngste kräftige Kursaufschwung signalisiert m.E. eine beendete Bodenbildung.
Von jetzt an dürfte die Rchtung klar nach oben zeigen !

Habe  am 26.01.09 einmal auf Verdacht 10 000 Aktien zum Kurs von 0,57 € zugelegt. Ganz einfach, weil die 30 Tage Linie von unten auf  die 100 Tage Linie zukam. Nun zocke ich aber nicht gerne. Darum suche ich jetzt verzweifelt nach Umsatz und Gewinn für diese Aktien. Das einzige was ich finden kann sind KGV`s für 2009 und 2010. Diese Vorhersagen sind aber so genau wie der Wetterbericht für 2010. Die einzigen Nachrichten die ich finden konnte sind, dass die ihren Mitarbeiterstamm in 2009 von 12 000 auf 17 000 erhöhen wollen oder von einer Gewinnverdopplung träumen, aber ich investiere gerne nach Zahlen, die nachvollziebar sind. Aussagen wie, bei Alibaba dürfe man nicht mit KGV und Umsatzrendite rechnen, trete ich skeptisch gegenüber, denn das gleiche hörte ich auch im Jahr 2000, als ich den "neuen Markt" Scheiß verkaufte. Damals lachten Kollegen über mich, weil ich nicht kapierte, dass da Visionen gehandelt werden. Also bitte, wo gibt es Zahlen über Alibaba?

• Achieved a record increase of 1.3 million registered users on our international marketplace during the quarter, up 74% year-on-year, reflecting strong international buyer activity.
• Increased penetration of domestic online trade continued to drive revenue from our China marketplace, which grew 79% year-on-year and contributed 38% of total revenue in the third quarter, compared to 29% a year ago.
• Finished the quarter in an exceptionally strong financial position with third quarter recurring free cash flow of RMB410 million, and over RMB6.1 billion of cash and bank deposits on the balance sheet and no debt.

   

Key  Operating Data

 

• As of September 30, 2008, our combined marketplaces had 35.6 million registered users, an increase of 40% year-on-year and 10% quarter-on-quarter. We had 6.9 million registered users on our international marketplace and 28.7 million registered users on our China marketplace.
• As of September 30, 2008, the total number of storefronts on our marketplaces grew to 4.2 million, an increase of 54% year-on-year and 10% quarter-on-quarter. We had 868,379 storefronts on our international marketplace and 3.3 million storefronts on our China marketplace.
• The number of paying members of our combined marketplaces was 398,351, an increase of 46% year-on-year and 8% quarter-on-quarter. Paying members consisted of 30,836 Gold Supplier members and 15,016 International TrustPass members from the international marketplace, and 352,499 China TrustPass members from the China marketplace.

 

"While the global economy is facing extraordinary challenges, our business continues to grow at a steady pace and we delivered another solid performance in the third quarter. Through the first nine months of the year, our net profit grew 100% year-on-year," said David Wei, chief executive officer of Alibaba.com. "The network effect of our marketplaces continues to strengthen, with the number of registered users, storefronts and paying members all increasing. Our international marketplace attracted a record number of registered users in the third quarter, increasing 74% year-on-year, suggesting that small businesses worldwide are increasingly turning to the Internet as a new channel for international commerce."

"China's economy remains one of the relative bright spots in the world economy, driven by domestic investment and consumption growth. Our China marketplace for domestic trade was the main driver of revenue growth during the quarter, and its revenue increased 79% over last year. The China marketplace accounted for 38% of our revenue during the quarter, up from 29% from a year ago. This reflects the success of our strategy to achieve a more balanced mix of revenues from our two core marketplaces.

"We believe that the current difficulties in the macro-economic environment present us with unprecedented opportunities to strengthen our business and build long-term shareholder value. We recently launched two major initiatives to benefit buyers and suppliers on our international marketplace: a Quality Supplier Program, which is aimed at improving the buyer experience, and a new entry-level product, Gold Supplier Starter Pack, which will extend our premium storefront service to a broader group of export suppliers in Greater China. In 2009, we will be investing in a number of areas to support our growing community of members, including user loyalty, customer acquisition and service, product development, technology infrastructure and staff development. We have been encouraged by recent moves of the Chinese government to stimulate the economy and help the local export sector. In the long run we are confident that China will retain its position as the world's leading export center. With our strong financial foundation and leadership position, we are in an excellent position to capture the opportunities ahead. Our recent initiatives reflect our optimism for China's e-commerce development and our commitment to being a major driver of this development."

Third  Quarter 2008 Financial and Operating Results

Paying Members and Revenue

Alibaba.com had 398,351 paying members as of September 30, 2008, representing a 46% increase from the third quarter of 2007 and an 8% increase from the second quarter of 2008.

As a  result of the higher number of paying members, Alibaba.com reported total revenue of RMB780.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, up 37% from the same period of 2007 and 6% from the second quarter of 2008. The company's investment in China domestic trade has increased the significance of the China marketplace, which contributed 38% of total revenue for the current quarter, compared to 29% in the third quarter of 2007 and 36% in the second quarter of 2008.
 
  International  Marketplace

Revenue from the company's international marketplace was RMB484.5 million for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 19% year-on-year and 3% quarter-on quarter, accounting for 62% of total revenue. The growth was primarily due to an increase in the number of Gold Supplier members and sales of value-added services.

As of September 30, 2008, the international marketplace had 30,836 Gold Supplier members, a net increase of 6,713 from the third quarter of 2007 and a net increase of 1,070 from the prior quarter. The company believes that its newly launched entry-level product, Gold Supplier Start Pack, will enable it to capture a significantly broader group of new customers. This potential customer base will include nimble and entrepreneurial companies that are transforming their business models to find buyers through the Internet in the current economic environment.

The number of International TrustPass members reached 15,016 as of September 30, 2008, a net increase of 3,653 from the third quarter of 2007 and a net increase of 1,104 from the preceding quarter. The company is making significant commitments to explore the India market and has made steady progress towards its customer acquisition initiative through a re-seller arrangement with Infomedia India.

China Marketplace

The company's China marketplace continued to experience robust growth and has become a more important revenue contributor as the growth of China's domestic trade outpaced exports. During the third quarter, revenue from the China marketplace increased to RMB295.7 million, an increase of 79% year-on-year and 11% quarter-on-quarter. The China marketplace accounted for 38% of total revenue in the current quarter, compared to 29% in the same period last year and 36% in the second quarter of 2008.

Alibaba.com's China marketplace had 352,499 paying China TrustPass members at the end of the third quarter, a net increase of 115,256 from the third quarter of 2007 and a net increase of 28,171 from the second quarter of 2008. The growth of China TrustPass members was driven by the network effect of our China marketplace, our extensive sales and re-seller programs and the launch of our China TrustPass for Individual membership package, which helped us tap into a new market segment of sole proprietors and smaller businesses.

HK$2  Billion Share Buy-Back

Today, Alibaba.com's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to HK$2 billion (approximately US$258 million) of the company's ordinary shares, subject to market conditions and at the discretion of the company. The share-buy back plan is based on the repurchase mandate approved by shareholders at the company's Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2008, and will remain in effect through the end of 2009, subject to renewal of the repurchase mandate by the shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting.
"We believe a buy-back program is appropriate at this time, and it demonstrates the directors' confidence in the fundamentals of our business. With the strong free cash flow of our business, this share buy-back will leave us more than sufficient cash for operations and future business investments, including the ability to be opportunistic about organic and non-organic growth initiatives." said Wei.
