China’s Alibaba Group has been gathering attention in the US for some time. Its impending Initial Public Offering (IPO) is expected to potentially be the biggest in history, even if, as was reported in Bloomberg, it takes place during the dog days of US summer, on August 8. The date is ostensibly propitious, and parenthetically is the anniversary date of the Chinese Summer Olympics, which began on August 8, 2008. Clearly they like their eights in China.
