Alibaba and the forty thieves?

Chinese Alibaba raised 21.8 billion in US IPO.

Good showing for a company which is sometimes associated with counterfeits.

Yet another "middleman" in global commerce.
WSJ also thinks Alibaba setup is problematic because of who his benefactors are.

And a lot of crap. I've used Alibaba and it has it's pluses, but it's hell to wade through the options and impossible to find reputable dealers.

All you can do is throw your dart and hope it hits the right broker.
