The hype surrounding the IPO of Alibaba hardly any limit. It is often forgotten that the Alibaba founder Jack Ma has ever its shareholders taken ill on the table.
The IPO of Chinese Internet giant Alibaba is coming. And there is hardly any doubt that this IPO will break all records. Just two days after the roadshow has begun to have been oversubscribed equity. Including the over-allotment option is likely so well and like to collect the e-commerce company from Hangzhou $ 23 billion.
Of course, the prospects for investors is all too tempting. China is the largest Internet users in the world market, and Alibaba, where it holds in online trading an impressive position. So has Alibaba’s online marketplace Taobao, which is often called the “Chinese EBay” means, in China with a market share of incredible 99 percent.
