Alibaba’s global perspective sends share price soaring



Alibaba’s (BABA) ongoing experimentation with new ways to lure shoppers into spending their money, diversification and expansion into new territories has earned widespread approval in the markets, pushing its share price to record highs of $192.12 ahead of their quarterly earnings report (November 2).

The Chinese e-commerce giant’s shares have more than doubled in value this year (see chart) with much of Alibaba’s growth being fueled by the internet retailing boom in China. The move into cloud computing is currently loss-making, but with the number of users almost doubling to 1 million in a year and expansion into Malaysia and India it is expected to turn that around. Also, Alibaba’s diversification into groceries, digital entertainment and financial services are showing potential for future growth.

So, you’ve got the trading bug. You’ve made your first profits – albeit modest – by making safe trades. There are riskier trading strategies that can earn bigger profits. You know about them, you’ve been warned about them, and you’re not interested because the downside is too great. So how do top traders end up making so much more money? It’s not by taking bigger risks. Profitable traders earn more because they’re better at predicting and understanding how markets react to news and economic data. They read between the lines of the constant stream of information that is available on trading platforms to make more profitable judgements. The best traders use information to make a trade before the trend becomes visible to others.

Patience may pay off for General Electric traders

Many analysts expect General Electric (GE) to exceed their profit expectations when they post their third quarter earnings report on October 20, as it has done in eight of the last nine quarters. However, there is also a high expectation that its share price will fall as it has done for the past seven quarters after earnings results are released. Fears over a dividend cut have eased since last week – which would have led to an investor exodus and a serious drop in share value – but there still seems to be a lot of work to do for recently appointed CEO John Flannery who is overseeing restructuring and reorganising efforts. “A dividend cut could crush the stock as retail investors flee, but maintaining it gives GE little or no excess cash to grow,” Jeffrey Sprague, an analyst at Vertical Research Partners, said last week. “GE has continued to shrink the company but it has not proportionally shrunk the dividend.” Moody’s Investors Service credit analyst Rene Lipsch told Reuters that GE’...
