Jack Ma Won't Be the Only CEO to Reap Record Alibaba Profits

Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma could easily see his $11 billion net worth skyrocket once the record-breaking IPO goes live on Friday, Sept. 19.

But, you see, my research has identified an under-the-radar firm that's run by not only a very strategic CEO…

He's aggressive.

And I like that.

But, what I like even more is that he's recently structured a deal that could generate billions in windfall gains from the historic stock offering.

And now that Alibaba is set to go public later this week, it could reap a near $60 billion windfall on this epic deal.

I expect its share price will get a sizeable boost – and fast.

But, these initial gains will come fast and will most likely end minutes after the IPO goes live.

So there isn't much time left...

The piece is a bit revolutionary, as its authors speak to a drastically different way of stimulating an ailing economy than the path we're on today.
