### Comment:
They'll certainly not immune, as the stock price shows.  But the profits continue to flow in at fairly staggering levels. You make good points, however, BABA's business position is very strong, similar to how companies like Wal-Mart perform well during economic downturns here in the states. I think the primary reason that BABA has been getting so rekt is that a lot of people think their (very impressive) profit/revenue numbers are fraudulent. Only time will tell \~

### REPLY:
That business position is backed on a strong Chinese economy. Almost entirely. If the average Chinese citizen is hurting, baba is hurting.  
  
 In no shape or form can baba be strong if china economy is weak.  
  
 Unless they cook those books even harder.
