Alibaba IPO – Should We Offer Alibaba Stock?

By Rick Roman - 11 Sep 2014 1075 0 comment

The massive Alibaba IPO is just about here. Should we add it to our stock list? Let us know.

The Chinese ecommerce giant will list on the NYSE with the ticker BABA. “ba” means “8” in Chinese and is considered lucky (I guess double luck in this case). We did a little research to determine if Alibaba will issue paper stock certificates and surprisingly, it looks like they may.

Let us know what you think – Would you want to buy one share of Alibaba?

UPDATE 2023:

GiveAshare now carries Alibaba stock. Buy your first share here.
