How to Ride the Labubu Craze šŸ¤Ŗ

Reddit stock jumped 22%, BYD a better EV maker than Tesla, Alphabet strong cloud growth and more...

To be honest, I wouldnā€™t have even known about the Labubu craze if my wife hadnā€™t mentioned it to me.

Her excitement got me curious, and after a bit of research, I found that Pop Mart is the stock behind these wildly popular Labubu dolls.

With Pop Martā€™s stock already up 215% over the past year, i am intrigued to see if this Labubu craze is more than just a fadā€¦

Which is why later in this newsletter, I'll dive deeper into why Pop Mart could be worth adding to your portfolio here.

BUT then again, if you are looking for these massive double or triple digit returns, you can also check out other more credible pre-IPO growth companies like SpaceX or hedge fund products belowā€¦

Chart of the Week šŸ“¹

BYD has done it.

Its revenue has surpassed Teslaā€™s for the first time as its 3Q 2024 revenue rose on record sales of its electric vehicles.

Brings me back to the time when Berkshire Hathaway bought 225 million shares of BYD for $232 million in 2008, translating into a substantial 7.73% stake in the company.

Berkshire Hathaway started selling shares in August 2022, after BYD's share price had increased more than 20x.

That said, while it is no secret that BYD is the biggest player in China, it still has some way to go before its profits match Teslaā€™s.

If anything, Teslaā€™s market capitalization of USD802 billion dwarfs that of BYDā€™s US$113 billion.

So, thereā€™s probably more room for growth for BYD? Only time will tell if BYD got the same allure as Teslaā€¦
