<p>Two weeks ago, after I recommended Trip.com (9961) in this column, the stock price of Trip.com rose for 7 consecutive days before experiencing a correction. Within two weeks, the closing price last weekend was already 7.8% higher than the low price at the time of my recommendation. When I recommended this stock two weeks ago, I suggested that everyone could make a small speculative investment, but after reflecting repeatedly over the past two weeks, I believe Trip.com is indeed a promising stock that can be considered for long-term investment rather than short-term speculation.</p>
<h2>Trip.com has risen nearly 8% since the recommendation</h2>
<p>There is no need to worry too much about the State Administration for Market Regulation investigating Trip.com for suspected monopolistic behavior. I am confident that Trip.com will not face too much pressure after the investigation. Today's central government is more concerned about excessive market competition, which is &#34;involution,&#34; rather than monopolies.</p>

<h2>Get used to the &#34;slow bull&#34; and don't be impatient</h2>
<p>The Hang Seng Index broke through the high of October 2 last year last week, and then immediately broke the 28,000-point mark. However, once it broke 28,000 points, it immediately faced adjustment pressure. Throughout last year, the Hang Seng Index faced adjustment pressure as it rose above 26,000 and 27,000 points, with every 1,000 points representing a significant pressure point. This is a typical &#34;slow bull&#34; trend. We need to learn to get used to this trend and must not be impatient.</p>
<p>The fundamental basis for the Hang Seng Index to break through continuously is positive. It is estimated that the &#34;slow bull&#34; is the central government's intention, hoping for a favorable stock market, which will make many people happy and increase consumption, aligning with the policy of promoting domestic circulation. However, they do not want everyone to engage in frenzied speculation, creating bubbles. The U.S. stock market has risen for many years and has a certain level of bubble. Once the U.S. stock market bursts, the whole world will be affected. The higher it rises, the greater the destructive power after the burst. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately control the rise of the local stock market.</p>
<h2>MTR Corporation expected to acquire a large amount of land in the Northern Metropolis</h2>
<p>Many local real estate stocks have performed well over the past year, with New World Development (016) reaching a historical high. Media reports about New World Development or hot-selling new properties appear every week, with properties selling out in a day or land premiums being paid.</p>
<p>However, MTR Corporation (066), which has long been regarded by investors as equivalent to real estate stocks, still lags behind in stock price. Now, the Hong Kong SAR government will accelerate the development of the Northern Metropolis, and MTR Corporation should acquire a large amount of land, with a bright future ahead. I believe that major institutions will soon come out to promote it, making it the top choice for catching up.</p>
<h2>Biyou is an ideal dividend stock</h2>
<p>In recent years, the Hong Kong SAR government has continuously increased investment in environmental protection, with waste recycling stations now spread across various corners. At the same time, they are leasing land at ultra-low rents to interested investors for waste recycling and re-manufacturing businesses. This type of business is niche because it requires specialized talent to operate, so the bidding process is not very intense, often resulting in the strong getting stronger and securing most contracts.</p>
<p>Biyou (1397) is the only listed company in Hong Kong that specializes in environmental protection and waste recycling. Over the past few years, it has repeatedly secured a large number of environmental contracts from the Hong Kong SAR government. Overall business has grown significantly year after year, and dividends have also steadily increased each year, making it an ideal dividend stock for conservative investors.</p>
