I'm thinking about it, but the fact Cathy Wood didn't even bite makes me think I should back off.

Uber is not doing well, why would you think DIDI could be any better

Because they have monopoly over Chinese market with 1.5 billion people and no labor laws to follow. They are the second largest economy.

With Uber I have been buying and selling since the IPO. Last year April share was $15.

This was a scam to get money from American investors. They ran off with $13,000,000,000 in a day. The Chinese government won't let them list on a non-Chinese exchange, and the company is free to commit all the fraud it wants because nobody outside of China can take them to court and win.

Which tells me you are a very good trader, because Uber is still below their IPO price.

China is a big market but it's slowing down significantly because of its previous one-child policy, Didi is heavily relying on how many ppl use their service.

I mean, you can trade it, but just dont invest in it.

I think they can end up with a de-list/privatization (voluntarily) if the political factor is out of control.
The recent evidence pointed that they failed to follow regulator's "suggestion" to delay their IPO, caused a political mess among different goverment bodies about national data security regarding to precise geo data and sensitive user image data. The end result is that they are now facing the iron fist from CCP.
Their business is not irreplaceable, there are a dozen ride sharing apps in China that are willing to subsidize users to get away from Didi. And guess what, Didi is now off all Chinese app store and paused new user registration.

Stay confident with the 2nd largest economy of the world.

I think DIDI will go back to $15 by end of July.

Are you going long or just day trading it?

I wouldn't go long at this time, the geopolitical risks are just too great, not to mention that, while the company may control most of the Chinese market, they also bleed money like crazy. But ignoring that and going back to the politics, they are at risk from both the Chinese regulators AND the US regulators. The US wants to introduce laws for more transparency, and the Chinese will make laws ensuring that their companies can't comply. The chance of being delisted is not zero, there are safer ways to make money, you would have to really love DIDI to ignore all that.

Short term trading may be okay if you monitor it tightly, but there is still a big risk, as you don't know when bad news can drop, like today, China just removed another 25 of DIDI's apps from app stores. There is much less warning from Chinese regulators.

Also never forget, with these Chinese VIEs, you do not own any part of the parent company. You only have stock in holding company that is entitled to some of the profits of the parent company. There are far fewer legal protections and recourse in case something goes bad.

DIDI is controlled by foreign companies, one of its board of directors even used to be a US army officer. This is totally unacceptable.
CIA can easily control people's data through DIDI.

I think the best China stock to buy is still BIDU.

Avoid EDU, TAL, GSX these educational stock, they are trash.

Didi Chuxing Technology Co, the company in China, is not "controlled" by foreign companies. The largest foreign ownership is Softbank, with ~20%. But over 50% of the voting power resides with two people: the CEO and the President.
$DIDI the stock is Didi Global Inc., a Cayman Islands incorporated company that is entitled to profits from Didi Chuxing. It has NO voting power over Didi Chuxing, nor owns any part of it.

Yes, already 10% upside for me. If this goes down to $8 range I was planning to buy more and it may happen. On other forums people are predicting S/P could go to $20 by end of the month.

Now Chinese government and regulators require ALL companies who plan to do IPO outside mainland China to submit files for national security check. And DOYU and HUYA merger is banned.
SEA should be OK, I think its main operations are outside China. BIDU depends on situation, but BIDU cooperative with government on internet ( google is banned, the only main search engine in china)

Despite China removing more DIDI apps, the stock price rose 7%+ to end the day. Imagine if DIDI come up with a new cyber-security app approved by the Chinese government, the stock will skyrocket. The company is still the same company controlling 80% of the ride share market in China. Any price below IPO of $14.00 is a good point of entry. Note that the floor for the stock appears to be $11. Despite all the bad news and predictions that the stock price will drop to $5, it has not gone below $11.
Have a nice day!
