8 LATEST UPDATE FROM WISE-OWL Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) International CODE Equities: COMPANY Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) ANNOUNCEMENT Wise-owl recommended to buy Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:BABA) on 5th March 2015 at US$ Alibaba trades on the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE') with the ticker code BABA. The stock was last traded at US$106 and this position is now 24% in profit (excluding currency exchange movements). We have held this position for more than 12 months and recommend to take profit. Alibaba's share price has recovered from a sharp selloff in August 2015 that was triggered by volatile market conditions in The People's Republic of China. Following the latest share price appreciation we believe that the risk to reward ratio is no longer favourable as the market seems to factor in very little risk. We consider it appropriate to sell and take profit. The stock was last traded at US$106 and we lock in a 24% profit.
