Jungle lee : Jungle lee
Due The macroeconomic outlook is full of challenges, and tepid spending is also putting pressure on Shopee, i dont think this is a good opportunity to invest in, lets see how the market share been expanding on live streaming arm first.
727727727 : It's crazy to me to think that a company that doesn't carry inventory can spend billions of dollars in a quarter and not see significant ROI. Where is their cashflow going? I say avoid this stock, smells like vaporware to me.
HZXS : I see is a good time to buy as the price now is oversold. Invest for the long term growth. Analyst target price lowest at $50 $Sea (SE.US)$
