Alibaba IPO Reportedly As Big As Google's
The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal both report on the IPO and first day of trading for Alibaba.com.

Some analysts believe the stock is overvalued and unsustainable. But that's what many analysts also said about Google in its early days of trading.
