US-CHINA-IT-INTERNET-ALIBABA-IPO

Chinese online retail giant Alibaba founder Jack Ma waits for his company's stock to go live on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York on September 19, 2014. A buying frenzy sent Alibaba shares sharply higher Friday as the Chinese online giant made its historic Wall Street trading debut. In early trades after the record public share offering, Alibaba leapt from an opening price of $68 to nearly $100 and, while it dropped back, was still up some 38 percent at $94.08 after 10 minutes.
