The best way for investors to buy in to Alibaba

Chinese internet giant Alibaba is to list on the stock exchange. Private investors won't be able to buy in, but there is another way to play it says Ed Bowsher.

Alibaba, the Chinese internet giant, will list on the New York stock market later this month.

It's going to be one of the largest stock market listings ever, and it looks like the offer price will be reasonable. There's a good chance that the share price will bounce in the first day's trading.
