I am not so excited about the present hype of internet retailers, and I would wait for a market correction that is about to come.

Alibaba is fraud central much like flea-bay was back in the day, but unlike flea-bay rumor is that some of the fraud is coming from within Alibaba or at least with a wink and nod from Alibaba staff to the fraudulent sellers.

ipo should do well barring lehman-moment should such happen

unsure about how long to stick around after ipo
