Comment on Surge in Chinese tech stocks is making the dot-com bubble look tameparent

I don't think you can claim that a company trading at 300 times its earnings is fairly valued. That's just way out of whack and can't last.

Eh that's pretty common in the US too, the usual explanation being that they're reinvesting their income in growth. For example Amazon typically trades at multiples of 700x earnings or more. In Amazon's case they claim that they could make a bigger profit if they wanted to, and investors appear to believe it.

Tech scales a lot easier than ketchup or school uniforms.

Yes. Tech has leverage like no other industry.

Yes. And it won't last. Either Amazon gets bigger or the stock price comes down.
