You might be interested:

SELL

He's cautious on Chinese stocks in general, underperforming. Structural issues over there. Bit of a bounce, in line with the shift to risk-on. Take profits. At risk. Chart doesn't look great, potential for retracement.

SELL ON STRENGTH

If China re-stimulates its economy, Nio shares will pop, but that's when you sell it.

DON'T BUY

Dicey. Also, no Chinese stocks for him.

DON'T BUY

Does not like Chinese investments that don't earn cash. Insecure political environment. Negative return on capital (no sustainable). Is a speculative stock.

SELL

EVs will be a significant force moving forward. Question is which one will lead? Stay on the sidelines. The valuations of Ford, HMC and FUJHY look more compelling than any of the EV companies. Sell, don't buy.

DON'T BUY

Any fear of delisting? China probably the largest EV market in the world. Makes a lower-cost EV model. Risk with China has increased, given Taiwan situation. Problems with Chinese regulators. He plays where rule of law is more transparent.

DON'T BUY

[sound effect meaning don't buy]

DON'T BUY

Would not buy any Chinese company listed on US stock market. High risk with de-listing and political issues. Rising interest in EV market will be good for market overall. Better names to gain exposure to EV market.

DON'T BUY

E-car sales are good in China, better than here. A high-grow company but lacks profit and cash flow, so the market struggles to put a value on this. He's also concerned about the long-term Chinese economy. China is no longer in the build build build phase, but is building its middle class. Too speculative for him.

WAIT

The whole EV space will grow, and there are a number of ways to play it. The issue is whether the US companies are going to be the dominant story. The Europeans and Japanese will get in on the story. He wouldn't chase here, especially with rising rates.

DON'T BUY

Chinese EV manufacturer. Great products, but lose money. Keeps pushing out profitability. Reminds him of RIVN. After the fanfare, it's tough to invest in the cold light of dawn when they're burning cash. Speculative.

BUY

Offers good value in the EV space, relative to Tesla. You are paying insane earnings expectations for Tesla. NIO is one of the best plays right now. Got an upgrade today. Chinese ADR risk is starting to lift, so there will be more interest coming in.

BUY

Long trade relative to Tesla. One of his biggest positions now. It has great long term potential and has been beaten down quite a lot. Valuation is very good.

DON'T BUY

Rules were relaxed for Chinese firms to list on the NYSE. Now the rules are changing, and China is reluctant to comply, since personal data and technology are accessible. Hard to compete with TSLA, as it's a beautifully designed computer on the road, and the company has already collected lots of driver data. The valuation is another matter, but TSLA is the one you want to own.
