Q: What are some of the biggest IPOs in the pipeline?
A: Investors are looking for a little something new for their portfolios again. And with the IPO pipeline filling up, investors will have plenty of choice.
Perhaps the biggest deal for investors to look forward to is the initial public offering of Chinese Internet company Alibaba. The company, which is a blend of eBay, Amazon and Google, is likely to raise more than $15 billion from its IPO, Reuters estimates. The deal would value the company at upwards of $140 billion. Given the strong performance of other Chinese Internet companies this year, investors will likely be eager to get a piece of Alibaba.

Among news that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) is dumping the Silverlight software that Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) relies on, and that Netflix is switching to HTML5, Mr. Softy has started having problems in its relationship with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) . With the Xbox set to be released later this month, the video streaming industry has never been more competitive. Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) Prime and Redbox Instant are challenging Netflix like never before, and grabbing even a piece of the market is attractive to anyone who can get involved.

Likewise, as price competition intensifies in the U.S., it's bad news for hardware companies. A company like HP, which is belatedly making another attempt at finding tablet success, enters a field far more competitive than it was a couple of years ago. Likewise, a company like�Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) , which succeeded in part from selling Kindles below most competitors' pricing, is about to get more competition.�

Tech companies have conquered our desks, our pockets, and even our laps, but they've had little success in the living room so far. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) has made some progress with Apple TV, but Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) TV was basically a flop, and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) and Sony (NYSE: SNE ) have yet to turn gaming systems into multifunctional devices for all consumers.�

In case you hadn't noticed, the PC market is in absolute shambles these days. With�Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Windows 8 having failed to drive the refresh cycle many had hoped, we're now seeing names like Microsoft and�Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) shift their strategy. In the coming months, investors and consumers will see a new spate of devices enter the market that will take aim at the tablet market. And while these are two of the most formidable names in all of technology, the challenge they both face is maybe equally immense as both�Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and�Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) continue to click on all cylinders in the mobile space as well. This tension should be one of the defining storylines in big tech today.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By WWW.DAILYFINANCE.COM]
CYNK Technology (CYNK), the mysterious over-the-counter stock that at one point broke a $6 billion market cap, dropped roughly 80 percent in its first trades after a Securities and Exchange Commission halt. The SEC halted CYNK for two weeks following a massive rise in the stock's value -- it had been worth only a few cents per share in June, but it jumped above $21 on July 10. The Belize-based CYNK Technology supposedly operates a social networking site, but filings indicate it only has one employee and virtually no assets. Experts told CNBC the week of the SEC halt that they expected CYNK to fall precipitously after reopening, and its first day of trading is proving those predictions correct. When it was halted, the stock was worth just less than $14 per share, and is now below $3 a share after briefly hovering around $5 earlier Friday morning. An OTC Markets spokeswoman told Reuters that CYNK's shares were not trading on its platform, but were occurring over the phone. Earlier this week Reuters reported that OTC's CEO did not expect CYNK to trade on its platform at all after reopening, as no brokerages would file the required paperwork for the stock to trade on their exchanges. An SEC spokesman said that the organization cannot comment on the status of a company after a suspension period ends, citing an online explanation of the process. That document notes that broker-dealers may not solicit investors to trade the previously suspended OTC stock until they satisfy several regulatory requirements. The SEC warned, however, that "unsolicited" trading may occur after a reopening -- as CYNK is now seeing -- but "even though such trading is allowed, it can be very risky for investors without current and reliable information about the company."
