Grab gives SG and SGX the finger

Good business sense to list in US where the capital base is bigger. Temasek owns a big chunk of Grab and can't risk it becoming another penny stock failure

This is a very good example of “don’t underestimate Malaysians” and “fuck you sinkies”

This sounds like Enron which included its entire commodity trading as revenue when it actually earns only a small commission from trading it.

Square does the same with its Cash app. Square is America's leading app for payment and crypto trading in future.

Urm.... so they increase revenue by 132% and its net loss increased by 13%! Sure.... invest infra and foundation to boost their other lines of business, but er..... they are no way close to breaking even after so many years of losses.

Tesla and Amazon made losses for many years before they saw their first profit. Shopee made far bigger losses than Grab, but its share price is still climbing and holding steady.

What is the size of Tesla's and Amazon's markets compared with Grab's and Shopee's?

The long term viability of these gig economy start ups is still not proven. If the ride sharing model becomes a failure like the stupid bike sharing experiment, the whole show will end quickly. So they better list and take the money first

Those who subscribe are fools. How can a taxi company worth this much? If u produce microchips maybe.
Microchips is considered bricks and mortar. Same as manufacturing planes or ships. Or nuclear reactor.
But anything that makes money on the web, like gambling, games or cab services and food deliveries, these are tech.

Allianz, German largest non banking financial Co. Offered tech Internet bonds, went kaput after few years. Enough said.

The end game is to raise prices when taxi companies go bust. It is clear they have used sheer financial muscle to displace taxi companies and are passing on the cost of fleet operations to their partner drivers. Ride hailing companies like Uber and Lyft are facing increasing regulatory pressure in the States. But some investors love volatility so there is that angle. :unsure:
