People play in a hall inside Alibaba's headquarters in HangzhouBy Deepa Seetharaman and Ryan Vlastelica SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors are looking over portfolios to make room for Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Inc's market debut next month - and that means some less attractive stocks that funds are holding might be shown the door. The initial public offering, which could top $16 billion to become the largest-ever IPO by a technology company, is expected as early as next month after Alibaba management kicks off a two-week investor road show after the Labor Day weekend. "There won't be wholesale turnovers of portfolios, but I imagine Amazon is being looked at," he added.
