A 20-year professional trader reveals his “money line”
Ditch the indicator and use “MoneyLine”. Simple lines take the guesswork out of knowing when to buy or sell. This is the line on the chart that helped Nic Chahine earn his 83% of option purchases. Here's how he does it.
Alibaba Group Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE:BABA) is leveraging artificial intelligence to gain a competitive edge in the face of China's competitive e-commerce market.
According to a report in Nikkei Asia, on Alibaba's Taobao platform, shoppers can use the AI chatbot Wenwen to purchase items such as a Sony Group (NYSE:SONY) camera priced at about $650, according to the user's specifications. It is said to be able to recommend personalized products.
Introduced in 2023, Wenwen is powered by Tongyi Qianwen (Qwen), a large-scale language model developed by Alibaba's cloud division.

In addition to helping shoppers, Alibaba is also employing generative AI to streamline operations for sellers, simplifying tasks like photo editing and creating virtual models.
Despite these innovations, Alibaba reported a 10% increase in net profit to 79.7 billion yuan ($11 billion) and an 8% increase in revenue to 941.1 billion yuan for the fiscal year ended March.
Although the market share of Alibaba's Taobao and Tmall platforms fell from 80% in 2017 to 37% in 2023, CEO Eddie Wu said that in the first quarter of this year, the market share of these segments reported double-digit growth in gross merchandise value.
Analysts noted that Alibaba's GMV grew by double digits year over year thanks to discounts. The cloud business is expected to register double-digit growth in the second half of 2025.
BABA stock has fallen more than 4% in the past 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to stocks through: Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:PGJ) and ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:ONLN).
Price action: At last check on Friday, BABA stock was trading 1.18% higher at $87.72 pre-market.
