Ouch! Nice Christmas gift!
I hope it turns around for you soon, so you can sell 218 shares, hopefully with profit. I have my wife review my larger orders for me for exactly that reason :-)

Merry Christmas!

I am going to have to ignore it and be as patient as necessary.  BABA is Chinese Amazon.  They are indeed  monopolistic and they are also a China bluechip so they won't be ruined by government action any more than our FANG stocks.  Just have to wait for it to settle out.  Exactly the reason why I haven't jumped into more shares of FB, AMZN and GOOGL lately.  They will get more heat as well.

Looks like you can sell today and make some nice profit.

Put a sell order in at 222 and went to town to finish my Christmas shopping.  It executed.  That makes me lucky, not smart.  I made $440 off my foolishness. BABA may very well be 250 soon but I am not looking back.  I'd buy more on a further dip but a $50K investment in a company fighting with the CCCP is a not where I should be.  A couple shares at a time as it dips is MUCH more appropriate for my retirement plan. I am back to 6 shares and those are underwater.
   

Merry Christmas to all my friends here.  See you Friday.
