Strategy Review

1. How to understand the new employee incentive policy of BABA-SWR?

1. "Increasing long-term cash and accelerating equity ownership" can be translated as: The money in hand is more certain now; the speed of receiving stocks has increased. By converting equity ownership on a quarterly basis, it greatly enhances the liquidity of factory workers' income. They can decide whether to sell or continue holding the stocks in hand, giving them more autonomy.

2. Key moment in this bull market cycle: Is it time to balance growth and value investment opportunities?

If investors only focus on the weakening momentum of tech stocks, you might expect a correction or bear market later this year, but the trend towards small-cap stocks indicates otherwise.
