Global Kratom Coalition Supports Legislative Bill 230 to Protect Kratom Consumers in Nebraska
LB 230’s provisions create a regulatory environment that promotes both consumer safety and responsible business practices, ensuring that kratom products are marketed and sold with clear and accurate information.
Kratom is widely used by millions of Americans for mood enhancement, energy, and wellness. As more states move to regulate, rather than ban kratom, the focus should be on creating systems that ensure safety and efficacy without limiting consumer access.
LB 230 addresses the Global Kratom Coalition’s foremost concern about synthetic products that contain high levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, also known as “7,” and other unknown new chemical entities. LB 230 ensures a kratom product “does not contain any synthesized kratom alkaloids, other synthesized kratom constituents, or synthesized metabolites of any kratom constituent; and does not contain a level of 7-hydroxymitragynine in the alkaloid fraction that is greater than two percent of the alkaloid composition of the kratom product.”
The Global Kratom Coalition’s stance on “7” products is also supported by leading scientists in the kratom research field. In a 2024 statement, experts noted that scientific research supports the safe use of natural kratom products when properly regulated but also acknowledged that synthetic kratom products, which contain higher levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine and unknown chemical compounds, are dangerous and need to be more strictly controlled.
The Global Kratom Coalition urges Nebraska lawmakers to move forward with LB 230 to protect consumers and create a safe environment for kratom users. By adopting this legislation, Nebraska will join the growing number of states that are choosing regulation over prohibition, ensuring that kratom remains available for those who use it responsibly.
The Global Kratom Coalition is an alliance of kratom consumers, experts, and industry leaders dedicated to protecting access to kratom while advancing scientific research, driving consumer education, and developing robust regulations to protect consumers.

Saudi Investor Khalid Alaamry Provides Educational Guide and Strategies to Succeeding in Global Stock Markets in the Alaamry Global Capital Annual Letter
--
Dear shareholders,
Over the years, I have had numerous conversations with friends and family about the stock market, investment strategies, and the current landscape of opportunities. Many have asked about the rationale behind our fund's strategy, particularly our exposure to Chinese equities, and how we approach decision-making in such a complicated environment. These discussions have made me realize the importance of educating investors on how to think about the market-focusing on fundamentals, research, and a disciplined approach to investing.
The purpose of this letter is to share insights on how we evaluate investment opportunities, both within our fund and as a general investment principle. I've included case studies and real-world examples to illustrate how we apply these principles, with a special focus on China, which we believe is an undervalued market with strong upside potential. Through this, I hope to provide guidance on how investors can make decisions based on data and facts rather than emotion or sentiment.
Our Investment Philosophy
At Alaamry Global Capital, our strategy is simple: we invest in exceptional companies
trading below their intrinsic value. We target businesses with:
- Competitive advantages
- Strong and capable management
- Prudent capital allocation
- Shareholder-friendly practices
We prioritize investing in companies with founder-led management teams. Some 85% of our portfolios comprises companies where, on average, 30% of our outstanding shares are held by insiders.
By purchasing such companies at discounted prices, we create a margin of safety that protects against potential downside risks while maximizing long-term returns.
These opportunities often arise during periods of economic uncertainty, industry challenges, or company-specific issues. Negative market sentiment and short-term panic drive stock prices below fair value, offering attractive entry points for long-term investors. As Benjamin Graham wisely observed, markets are “a voting machine in the short term but a weighing machine in the long term.”
In today’s technology-driven world, average holding periods for stocks have dramatically declined from eight years in the 1950s to under six months. This short-term focus allows us to capitalize on undervalued stocks, holding them through recovery for superior long-term returns.
Why Focus on China?
China, the world’s second-largest economy, offers an unparalleled investment opportunity. Despite achieving the “Chinese Miracle” with an average annual growth rate of 10% over three decades, its stock market remains significantly discounted.
Price-to-Earnings Ratio Points to Great Valuations
Historically, the U.S. market has experienced prolonged periods of flat or negative returns:
- Post-dot-com bubble (2000–2013): The S&P 500 took 13 years to recover to previous highs.
- 1969–1981: A stagnant period influenced by the 1974 oil embargo, the effects of which lasted 11 years.
- 2013 to present: The S&P 500 climbed from 2,060 to over 6,000 (+291%).
- 1990 to 2000: The index rose from 720 to 2,770 (+385%).
The U.S. market's current price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is at 27, nearing dot-com bubble levels and nearly double its historical mean of 15.8. The Hang Seng Index PE is at 10, significantly below its 20-year average of 15.19.
The last time the U.S. market PE ratio reached a level similar to the 10 of the Hang Seng was during the 2008 GFC. Since then, the S&P has delivered an impressive 878% return, or 15.6% annually (excluding dividends).
China’s stock market offers attractive valuations compared to the U.S. The low Hang Seng Index PE ratio signals the potential for a strong rebound. If the index reverts to its 20-year average, it could rise to 30,000, a 50% upside. A return to its historic high P/E of 21.2 would push the index above 40,000, offering a potential 100% upside.
The Buffett Indicator Points to an Undervaluation of the Chinese Market
Warren Buffett’s preferred valuation metric, the Buffett Indicator, compares total stock market capitalization to GDP.
- U.S. Indicator: 2.09x GDP, higher than the 1.5x peak during the dot-com bubble and four times higher than the 0.5x low during the Global Financial Crisis.
- China ratio: 0.60x GDP.
This signals significant overvaluation in the U.S. and makes China nearly 3.5 times cheaper.
Lessons from Microsoft’s Lost Decade & Recovery
Microsoft’s “lost decade” (2000–2010) offers valuable insights. During this period, despite strong fundamentals, the stock delivered zero returns for a decade due to valuation contraction:
- P/E dropped from 70x to 8x.
- P/S fell from 28x to 2.27x.
- Revenue/share grew 3.5x; EPS grew 8x.
- P/E expanded from 12x to 34.4x.
- Stock price rose from $27 (2013) to $420 (2024).
Total return: 1,555%, or 28.3% annualized.
- Revenue grew 440%, EPS grew 300% (9% annualized).
- Stock return: -47% (-4.7% annualized).
- Revenue grew 357%,
- EPS grew 459% (14.63% annualized).
- Stock return: 1,555% (28.25% annualized).
Microsoft's fundamentals were strong in both periods, but stock returns varied due to valuation differences. This raises the question: Why do investors avoid low-valuation markets but flock to overvalued ones?
The takeaways from this case study:
- Value, price, and fundamentals all matter in the long run.
- Short-term price fluctuations mostly reflect the near-term sentiment of investors.
- Low historical returns lay the foundation for high future returns.
- Investors are generally irrational and guided by herd mentality. They are most comfortable buying with the crowd at market highs rather than being prescient but one of the few at market lows
Valuation Comparison: U.S. Big 7 vs. China
The contrast between U.S. and Chinese markets is stark:
- U.S. Magnificent Seven: Average P/E = 45x; P/FCF = 84.83x.
- China Big 7: Average P/E = 13.9x; P/FCF = 10.94x.
Insider Behavior Can Give the Game Away
Currently, insiders in U.S. companies are happy to sell their stock knowing the shares are at all-time peak valuations. At the current S&P 500 level of 6,000, U.S. insiders are selling stock in record volume.
This reinforces our belief that the China market is where the opportunity lies. If insiders do not have confidence in their own companies in the U.S., why should we put our money in their companies?
Fundamentals of Our China Portfolio
Our China-based portfolio at Alaamry Global Capital demonstrates compelling valuation and fundamentals:
Valuation
- Price/EBIT: 9.85
- P/S: 0.88
- P/FCF: 6.70
- P/OPCF: 5.29
- P/E: 10.03
- Cash/market cap: 31%
- ROE%: 18.49%
- 5-year average ROE: 19.35%
- ROCE: 17.00%
- ROIC: 13.99%
- Estimated internal ROIC: 24.20%
- Dividend yield: 4% (40% payout ratio).
- Buyback yield: 2.16%.
- Dividend growth (3 yrs): 66.52%
- Total shareholder yield: 6.18%
10-year growth:
- Revenue: 510.02%
- EPS: 726.93%
- FCF: 766.99%
During a business trip to China, I met the CEO of a portfolio company who had grown his business into a multibillion-dollar enterprise with a 38x FCF increase over a decade and a 10- year average ROE of 21.32%. Despite this success, his stock had dropped 60% from 2021 highs, leaving him puzzled and unconfident.
I assured him that short-term market irrationality doesn’t negate strong fundamentals. I recounted how some of the stocks I owned had a drawdown of over 90% but they turned around eventually to become 10-baggers. I also reassured him that, as the CEO, he is best suited to determine his company's health. Soon after, he began personally buying back shares, demonstrating confidence in his company and alignment of interest with shareholders—traits I deeply admire.
Our Investment Mission
We focus on amazing, founder-led companies with strong insider ownership and high returns on capital. These businesses are available at single-digit valuations—70% cheaper than their U.S. counterparts.
If a company is twice as good as average but priced at half the market average, it’s considered four times a better investment opportunity in a way.
Conclusion
Not every good company is a good investment. At Alaamry Global Capital, we balance valuation and quality to achieve long-term returns. Instead of listing what we do, here’s what we avoid:
- Short-term investing (day trading or predicting next quarter's results).
- Shorting or speculative price action.
- Predicting the economy or chasing fads.
- Investing in companies with questionable management integrity and disregard for shareholders' interests.
- Investing in loss-making companies without proven track records.
We focus on deeply studying businesses, investing only when they meet our stringent criteria. A guiding question we ask is: "Would we own this business if the stock market were closed for the next 10 years?" This long-term perspective helps us ignore short-term price fluctuations.
Kind regards,
