Once an Urbanization Play, Alibaba Stock is Now a Good Bet on Rural China
Though Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) was founded and grounded on an industrial revolution that drew hordes of people from rural China to its major cities, most owners of Alibaba stock know the company's future growth lies outside of those urban areas. Outlying second-tier cities and even minor villages are finally catching up with their more metropolitan peers, particularly in terms of communication.Source: Shutterstock What's the great irony -- and potential problem -- in that paradigm shift? A shrinking rural population. The China National Bureau of Statistics reported earlier this year that the country's rural areas saw 13 million people leave for more opportunity in 2018. Many of those leaving were among the most promising income-earners that could find more rewarding employment elsewhere, taking their discretionary income with them when they left.Now, with China's economic growth falling to a 27-year low as of June, the already-imbalanced trickle-down upside of the nation's new economic engine is further jeopardized. A shrinking population, particularly among working aged people, only exacerbates the concern.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsIt's a paradigm that calls into question just how much growth Alibaba can truly expect to find in China's more remote areas. It's a paradigm that also quietly weighs on the BABA stock price, even if most owners of Alibaba stock don't fully realize it the full scope of the brewing storm.There's a narrow pathway starting to appear through the distant fog, however. China's Big Cities Attract Rural WorkersIt's not a challenge its U.S. rival Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) ever had to contend with, though for the record, Alibaba rivals like JD.Com (NASDAQ:JD) and Baozun (NASDAQ:BZUN) are largely in the same boat.That is, China is a huge country, and for as much work that's been done to improve incomes outside of its biggest cities, its rural population continues to shrink after being eclipsed by metropolitan populations back in 2011. Those urbanites take their discretionary incomes with them, dragging down rural economic activity faster than redistribution efforts can boost them. The undertow takes some of the strategic shine off of Alibaba's plans. * 7 Dependable Dividend Stocks to Buy China's lopsided economic revolution, however, may be on the verge of another tidal shift that once again works in favor of Alibaba stock. Urbanites are now moving back to more rural areas, taking jobs and discretionary incomes with them. China's Digital Economy 2.0On balance, China's biggest cities are still gaining workers at rural areas' expense. The trend is abating though. Last year, seven million people shed their yuppie status to return to rural areas. Almost two-thirds of that group did so to work on China's farms.Things have changed dramatically, even if unevenly, on China's pastoral landscapes. Though still rustic in some spots by most anyone's standard, the government's support via subsidies, the establishment of wireless telecom and internet service and the improvement of basic utilities are all improving the case for foregoing city life.The so-called reverse migration also has an element that will feel familiar to U.S. investors and inhabitants as well, however. The new rural population is doing business in a way their parents wouldn't have, and largely still can't.Case in point? Farmer Xu Pengfei and his business partner, an online-video celebrity of sorts who goes by the name Handsome, are promoting their produce grown in northern China's Yujin village. The videos are filmed with an iPhone, selling fruits and vegetables to consumers nowhere near their farm. Government reports suggests that half of all the people leaving China's cities are engaged in some sort of e-commerce, which transcends the physical limitations of distance.It's making a difference too, as these migrants are finding their incomes ultimately improve when they become rural entrepreneurs. * 10 Best Dividend Stocks to Buy for the Rest of 2019 and Beyond "[Returning migrants] have become a major driving force in closing the gap between Chinese cities and villages, and between the coast and inland," explains Cui Chuanyi, with Beijing's Development Research Centre of the State Council. Cui concludes "Much of China's future growth lies in these less-developed regions," jibing with a message Alibaba stock owners have been hearing for a while now.Those wealthier entrepreneurs also make for stronger consumers, but most noteworthy is the fact that Handsome's and Pengfei's preferred platform for selling produce online is Taobao, owned by Alibaba. Looking Ahead for Alibaba StockIt's not a reason in and of itself to step into BABA stock. It's a secular shift that could take years to play out. Much could change in the meantime, and not all would-be entrepreneurs have found moving out of the city is a recipe for fortune. Indeed, urban populations are still growing, and rural populations continue to shrink.On the other hand, even with a number of potential pitfalls still looming ahead for the e-commerce giant's rural focus -- like market saturation and logistical hurdles -- there's certainly argument to steer clear of Alibaba stock. As Barron's confirmed on Sunday about the company's rural ambitions, "Alibaba is growing fast there."As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Nasdaq Today: Should We Fade the Fade?
When the futures market opened to big gains on Sunday evening, there were a number of traders saying they planned to fade the open on Monday. Or at the very least, take profits in a number of long positions. Given how many people seemed to be on the fade trade, I thought it was possible that we didn't get that move in the Nasdaq today.Source: Shutterstock However, that's exactly what we got.The markets still logged solid gains, but we simply came into the open way too hot. Some were caught short or in a risk-off position coming into Monday which drew in initial buyers. But those who were long coming into Monday used the Nasdaq's early gains of almost 2% as an opportune time to hit the exits, particularly with the S&P 500 hitting new highs.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsTo be fair, the Nasdaq did press above that 8,100 resistance level we mapped out on Friday. With a last-hour rally, buyers looked like they might recapture the mark. Even though bulls couldn't muster the strength, investors got off to a good start in the second half of 2019. It will be interesting to see if we run to new highs ahead of earnings, or chop/pullback into the quarterly results later this month. Click to Enlarge Winners in the Nasdaq TodayEarnings season will pick back up in a few weeks, but until then, the news cycle may be a bit quiet. Monday's exception? Huawei. * 3 Best Stocks to Buy After Sizable Drops The Chinese technology company was essentially blacklisted from the U.S., with American firms banned from shipping components to the company. Huawei has been suffering a massive financial burden due to trade war, but others have felt the pain too.Specifically, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Micron (NASDAQ:MU) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) have all been struggling as a result. Many were expecting a trade truce between President Trump and President Xi this weekend and that's exactly what we got. Not many thought Trump would lift the ban on supplies to Huawei though.That gave a big boost to these companies and deservedly so -- they were suffering notable losses as a result of this lost business. MU logged 4% gains (and here's how to trade it, by the way) as did AVGO. Qualcomm gave up most of its gains, but still notched 1.9% in gains on the day.For the most part, chips and semi stocks did well on the day.Also no surprise is that Chinese stocks did pretty well on Monday. Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) jumped 3.3%, JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) climbed 3% and Baozun (NASDAQ:BZUN) ripped 7.5%. Huya (NYSE:HUYA), Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and even Nio (NASDAQ:NIO) climbed on the day as well.You can tell these stocks are itching to rip if and when we get a trade deal.Large cap tech also did well. MAANG -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) -- all logged nice gains on the day too. And no, that wasn't a typo with the "F" from FANG. Let's use it to transition to the next group… Losers in the Nasdaq TodayFacebook (NASDAQ:FB) ended flat on the day, which is pitiful in the face of an otherwise solid day for its peers. It joins other large cap tech stocks like Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), which also majorly underperformed on the day.InvestorPlace readers shouldn't be surprised by the weakness in INTC or CSCO though, given that it was emphasized last week.While Snap (NYSE:SNAP) and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) had good days, Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) did not, falling about 2%. While other recent IPOs have done well, this one continues to struggle when it comes to finding any upside momentum.Uber (NYSE:UBER), another recent IPO, finally looked like it was breaking on Friday. In fact, it did breakout. But closing below $45 does not bode well for short-term bulls. If it can reclaim the $45 IPO price, perhaps it can make a run to its current highs near $47. Otherwise, investors should wait on Uber. * 7 F-Rated Stocks to Sell for Summer Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) took a tumble on Monday, falling almost 3% after it was downgraded by analysts at Goldman Sachs. They cut the stock from neutral to sell and assigned a $66 price target. Even after Monday's decline, it still implies over 20% downside.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell.
