Alibaba

There will be a monstrous ipo of Alibaba later this week that the average investor is excluded from. It sure sounds like this thing could be the next stock market darling. Any ideas on how to play it or how high it will go? I know that Yahoo owns a healthy chunk of it so should we buy Yahoo today?

There's an informative Boglehead thread on it - http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtop ... st=2191816 -
and I agree with the cautious posts in that thread.

Just the same, I know I'm going to buy some shares just to be a part of it, and then unload before it becomes long term. I won't hold on and I won't put a lot in because I have no idea how much the stock is worth or should be worth.

Yahoo - might be a smart idea. I'm not buying any Yahoo shares, though.

Mr Ma of Alibaba says customers first, then employees, and then stock holders.

DAMN COMMUNISTS!

One interpretation is that there were some people who owned Yahoo simply as a proxy for owning Alibaba. Once they could own the real thing, they got out of the substitute.

EDIT: And nice to see you around these parts again, Gosso!

I heard some people saying that Yahoo!'s entire market cap was solely from the value of their Alibaba holdings. Meh, I didn't own any Yahoo!.

Yeah, hopefully I'll be posting more often.
