In March this year,  Alibaba increased its stock buyback from USD 15 billion to USD 25 billion.   This new stock buyback is the largest ever in Alibaba's stock buyback scheme.
Alibaba 's share price jumped almost 9% when this buyback program was announced.

I like Alibaba's sto...

In investing, it is a natural inclination to tell someone "I told you so...." when a bad trade happens.  But ultimately everyone is responsible for their own decisions, be it good or bad.

One of the best ways to combat high inflation is to boost income by working.  I would especially in a tight labour market.
I can choose a good paying job that would help me defray my high expenses due to rising prices of every day items from food to fuel.  Being over 65 does not mean we fade into sunset.  Working at age over 65 offers a zest for life, calling upon the years of experience accumulated from working.
It is a great way to fight inflation and ...

Recession is inevitable with the current headwinds of high inflation, slowing economic growth, the ongoing war in Ukraine and rising interest rates.
Jamie Dimon of Morgan Stanley spoke of "economic hurricane" while Elon Musk says he has a bad feeling.
