Current events: what has the biggest hype, the IPO for Alibaba or the release of the iPhone 6?

Don't know squat about either and probably won't become more enlightened, but either gets a gold star from me for diluting the attention given to ice bucket challenges.

tough call, current vol today of 146M on BABA, I would say BABA today. Having said that, I read that lots of people were lining up for the iPhone. AAPL shares only 34M today.

Baba is something unique: the China equivalent of Amazon going public.

iphone 6 is a slight variation of something we've already seen.

Not sure if this is meant seriously or tongue in cheek.

Serious: try $BABA or http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BABA&ql=1

Humorous: I don't often eat dishes from the Levant but when I do I prefer hummus.

alibaba started and continues to sell counterfeit goods, with their manufacturer/sellers
