So IPO price is 68....if I put in a market order, any educated guess what price range my order will get filled? Would it be reasonable to assume my order will get filled at 85/share?

I have no idea because I don't know where you would be in the queue but it would have to be a hell of a gap to fill for $85 @market

Who even puts a market order, let alone for an IPO open?

Lots of people use market orders. If you are trading stocks with high liquidity or you want a position NOW then you take what's out there.

A MsF will definitely be helpful should you look for a financial career. If it's an MBA you're thinking about, I wouldn't waste my time with a hacksaw university, it's top 10 or nothing, even top 5 is preferable. CFA is usually only good for PM or ER (don't overlap with a MsF), that's the target of the whole program in general, although the first two levels are very helpful for financial analysis overall. You need to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life now. Your 20s are the most important period to define your career. It took me four years of college and a year after to figure that out.

Thanks for the advice. What is PM/ER?




I don't fully understand how IPOs work. When will BABA be open to peasent traders?

Portfolio management (Asset management/Private wealth management department) and equity research. CFA will have a good ROI for those two paths.

A little after market open obviously, it's a public offering being traded on a secondary exchange

[Hayes21890]

Noob question. On my scottrade elite (live streaming blah blah blah) it does not show BABA's % change or anything. I assume that is because it is an IPO but not sure?

It opens today ... but it wasn't set to open at market open. They are in no hurry it seems, they don't want another FB IPO open.

Jack Ma wants Alibaba to overtake Wal-Mart in the next 15 years.
At the IPO price, Mr. Ma will own a stake in Alibaba worth more than $13 billion. He also reaped $867 million in a sale of shares in the offering.

Soo what you're saying is, he is CEO/$867,000,000 today?

[Whartonite2014]

I had to redact (then delete) my previous posts. I'll post the resources by the end of this week. I have a BB and another top bank's S&T question set used a few recruiting seasons ago. I think it might help you prepare for interviews, ctown.

[Barn01]

Something like that. He's already got that money from the IPO offering. However his net worth is now around 14Bil .... that doesn't suck!

I'll take 2 of everything please

CNBC breaking news banner....BABA expected to to open 80-83. I know there's gonna be a jump in the price...I thought 85 would be a safe assumption given the hype.

There is an old saying in former commie land. " Today daddy richest man in country. Tomorrow daddy in jail."

Someone in the guberment thinks you are too big for your own good, you can be in the slammer by night fall.

Alibaba is in effect a state owned enterprise. Jack Ma has dealed in every government thug and his family that knock on his door and he does what they want him to.
It also means Alibaba is a monopoly and can do things that a normal company cannot do.

This is of no interest to the retail. But the structure of the stock is absurd. Only fools would put a value of $160 billion on it. None of this matter unless and until things blow up. So who t F cares?



I am going to repeat what I said before. Alibaba IPO marks the end of this bull run. Wall Street has been pouring resources to keep the market afloat to make this gigantic IPO possible. Now that it is done, so long sukka. Back to every crook for himself. Fuk u Jack Ma and your ugly mug face. And fuk u GS, thanks for the screwing.

It's all such a dirty game when you're a glamour stock ... it kinda makes me want to put on a condom when I place an order!

[GabrielNovar]

[badlasagna]

Burned too many times buying at the open. It will settle soon then you will see what the market really values this stock at.

Little more in this store ... who waits 17h in line in a mall to get a phone you can get next week by 10min walk-in/walk-out? Unless of course there are supply delays, which this chap failed to care about, he just wants to be the first kid on the block with one!

Do you guys think FB is a buy right now? I bought at $61 and sold at $67 earlier this year. Looking for a good entry point again. I was bummed when I missed $73 earlier this week.

[woodbarry]

baba at 90$ If I had the funds I would definitely short it at that rate... It is gonna tank come monday, but even today I would expect it to drop back down to 70-80$ as people try to realize their gainz

brah you hear Najarian...there were order for 150+++ people are trying to get in at all costs.

[woodbarry]

Granted I wouldn't short over the long haul, but I think short term it would be a good play.

I think it is pretty stupid that the price got driven up even to 90$ tho and how much equity has been taken from the market so people could make plays on baba. Hype train unreal.

[ApolloBrahh]

some divergence so watch out for that

its still holding support, no reason to exit

Wait a sec ... if YHOO owns 22% of BABA, make that 50Bil at current price!! But YHOO only holds a market cap of 40Bil ..... Hmmm should YHOO not be priced higher right now? Is there 20% sitting on the table?

Talk about mirin!
