These big-money people might know something that others don't, and they are waiting to see if their bets pay off. Read from source...
- The article is poorly written and lacks coherence. It jumps from one topic to another without explaining the connection or providing context. For example, it mentions March Madness, Benzinga Pro, CME Group, Real Estate, and Binary Options all in the same paragraph, without making clear how they relate to Alibaba's options activity.
- The article uses vague terms and phrases that do not convey any specific or reliable information. For example, it says "we noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga", but does not specify what kind of trades, how many, or when exactly they appeared. It also uses terms like "uncommon", "this big", and "something is about to happen" without providing any data or evidence to support them.
- The article relies on speculation and conjecture rather than factual analysis. For example, it says that the bullish and bearish sentiment of the big-money traders is split 52/48, but does not explain how this percentage was calculated, or what it means for the future price movement of Alibaba's stock. It also says that "the big players have been eyeing a price with", but does not complete the sentence or provide any indication of what that price might be.
- The article uses emotional language and appeals to fear and greed. For example, it says that investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on Alibaba, and that retail traders should know, implying that they are missing out on a lucrative opportunity. It also says that "when something this big happens with BABA, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen", creating a sense of urgency and mystery, without providing any actual facts or logic.
- The article does not provide any sources or references for the information it presents. For example, it cites Benzinga's options scanner as the source of its findings, but does not link to the tool or explain how it works. It also does not mention any other credible or authoritative sources that could verify or corroborate its claims.
