“[..] So I am looking at the longer term strategy here in Alibaba. BABA. [..]So my trade is pretty simple and easy. I am buying the BABA January 2016 95/105 Bull Call spread for $2. I don’t want to spend that much. I don’t want to spend $2. So what I will do is then I will go and sell the 2016 70/60 Put Spread for a $2 credit. So I am buying the bull put spread to sell a bear put spread for $0. If we look to see where my break even points are and I am giving myself lot of cushion to the downside. Because it’s a chance that BABA could take out $80. [..]So this give me opportunity to long  it to the downside and I don’t get to long it for expiration till $70, which is still about another 12% to the downside. So my breakeven on this trade is between $70 and $95 at January 2016 expiration. Above $95 I get long and under $70 I get long,” Keene said.

He feels that Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) is headed to the $105 level at end of the 2015.
