The "Hidden" Billions in the Alibaba IPO

NYSE: BABA

How many times have you been reading about a long-ago historical event - or been watching a documentary about it on the History Channel - and thought to yourself: "Wow, it would've been really cool to have actually been there to see this happen."

If you at first find it tough to characterize a stock offering - no matter how big - as a "historic event," I can certainly understand.

But "historic" it is...

Alibaba Stock Price vs Facebook Stock Price

The Alibaba IPO is coming this week. It's expected to raise between $21.1 billion and $24.3 billion, making it the largest initial public offering since Facebook Inc.'s (Nasdaq: FB) $16 billion IPO in 2012.

Because of its epic size, the Alibaba IPO can't escape the comparisons to Facebook Inc.'s (Nasdaq: FB) IPO.

The $16 billion the Facebook IPO raised in 2012 made it the largest tech IPO of all time, a record the Alibaba IPO will almost certainly beat when it comes to market in the next two weeks and raises some $20 billion.
