Been quite busy lately but here are some of my initial thoughts on $CRWD.
Please correct me if I am wrong!
$CRWD is the pioneer in cloud based security protection, and $CRWD is currently leading the race with its comprehensive falcon platform.
60%+ of the fortune 100 companies and 14 of the top 20 banks use $CRWD, signalling to $CRWD's dominate position in the field.
However, the field is not without competition. There are many competitors, and incumbents aside, there are $MSFT, $S and others chasing behind $CRWD.
Valuation is very rich for $CRWD, with a 37.43 EV/revenue and a 54+ P/S ratio. Many good news have been priced in, and the market is expecting $CRWD to perform at a very high growth.
$CRWD's revenue growth has been slowing, but recurring revenue and retention ratio is very positive, indicating to its ability to cross/up sell their products.
It seems to me that as $CRWD uses AI and machine learning as it core for preventive security measures, the more customers and data $CRWD has, the stronger it can be in the future.
If execution continues to be on point (which I would take it until proven otherwise), $CRWD is on a path to become the most dominant security company.
$CRWD seems to be a stocks that have all the fundamentals right, but with a very rich valuation. The key is how fast will the revenue grow faster than the contraction in multiples? and what kind of returns will we get as investors?
Please let me know if I am getting anything wrong and your thoughts on $CRWD! Thanks! 👇

Recently, many people have asked me why I am still interested/or invested in $BABA, $TCEHY, $JD, $NIO and any Chinese stocks. Why not sell?
Here's why 👇
Firstly, I am a Chinese, and I think I inherently have an edge when looking at Chinese companies because of the Chinese language. I have been following the Chinese government for a while too.
Therefore, I am willing to take some educated bets.
Secondly, these companies are all great companies IMO. They have strong fundamentals, and if the biggest risks is the government cracking them down, I am happy to live with that. They are (somewhat) discounted too btw.
I have tried learning with $COUR for the past month for coding, here are some thoughts on the experience.
By paying $59 USD per month for Coursera Plus, you get access to many different courses offered by famous universities around the world. Most courses are well design packed with a lot of content.
The course I took was Python for Everybody, which is a pretty interesting course. The content is great and the lecturer is very engaging.
Have you really thought about whether you should active invest or passive invest?
Here is a thread on active vs passive investing that might spike some of your thoughts 👇👇
What are active and passive investing?
Active investing refers to you picking your own investments (stocks, bonds, gold, currencies etc.) or you paying a professional to do the work for you.
Passive investing means you buy an index fund regularly for a long duration.
What are the goals of active and passive investing?
Active investing = beat the market 👊
Passive investing = obtains returns that equal the market returns 🤝
Palantir build the digital infrastructure for data driven operations and decision making. $PLTR seeks to become the next industry default software. In this thread, I will go over the things that you need to know about $PLTR.
Let's get started!! 👇👇
Total Addressable Market
$PLTR in S1 estimates its total addressable market to be approximately 56 billion for commercial operations and 63 billion for government side, a total of 119 billion. Most businesses that use data are $PLTR's potential customers.
Problem
There has been more data than ever before. However, many organisations do not have an integrated data system to manage their data. Therefore, the data is there, but it cannot be effectively used.
Tencent $TCEHY is arguably the most dominant Chinese tech company that have ever existed.
This thread will go through the lessons that I have learned from reading book, the story of Tencent.
Let’s get started 👇👇
1. Extreme minimalistic
$TCEHY always strives for minimalistic for their app design. The logic is to make an app simple enough that people don’t need to think. WeChat is exactly that.
2. Customer experience
$TCEHY and Pony Ma, Tencent’s founder, have always hammered on customer experience. Pony suggests that product designer should use their product daily, go on to forum for reviews to improve their product.
