Reply to comment by Andrige3 in Alibaba to split into 6 units and explore IPOs; shares pop 7% by Ben_aid

I think the difference is Alibaba is so undervalued that the valuation currently is at the value of some businesses not existing at all.

But yes, long term as a business, not as good. But stock market is auction driven and the stock is being penalized for being too successful of a conglomerate currently (due to China risk which isn't going away).

Shareholders generally get all the parts split up to different shares.

eg: say there's a company worth $10 in stock and is being split up to 3 different parts. Shareholder's $10 can become $3 $5$1 shares and maybe $1 went out from dilutions (IPO).

Reply to OpenAI launches ChatGPT Plugins by eden_avocado

Byebye Google Search. Google Search is becoming outdated faster than Yahoo Search did from its prime. Wow. I would have never imagined this even just 5 years ago.

Also, due to ChatGPT, Bing is no longer a meme. Also something I would have never imagined just a year ago.

Reply to Yamaha's new headphones promise ultra-clear sound (for a mind-blowing price) by hugglenugget

Part of me questions Yamaha but the other part of me realizes this is the very company that released EPH100 back in the day for IEMs and that IEM was some of the best for that price range at the time.

Still, seeing so many company shift more and more towards 4~5 figure ranges suck. And I am already a victim of a 4 figure IEM...
