My ideal portfolio for next 10 years - 1. BABA (15%) 2. FB (13%) 3. BRK (12%) 4. PSHZF (spawning decent SPACs) (12%) 5. AMZN (12%) 6. NPSNY (proxy for TCEHY and Asian startups) (12%) 7. HDB (12%) 8. CNSWF (12%)

A whole lot of BABA

For folks living in the US, I had called Schwab Global Services on Monday to ask about this. They charge 20 cents per ADR + $20 wiring fee + HK exchange admin costs for converting ADR shares to HK:9988. They will appear as BABA.S in your account once you convert them. IB also has a similar procedure. Not sure about the costs though

@Fahrweid - you can convert your BABA ADR shares to HK:9988 anytime and vice-versa with minor costs. Just call and ask your broker. They are fungible.

BRK, PSHZF, BABA

Are you buying the NYSE ADR listing or HK ordinary shares?
