Architectural Digest has a feature on the Bush Ranch outside of Crawford Texas. I noticed when viewing the satellite photos of the place that W. has a single golf hole there, approachable from opposite directions. See it?
Dragonvale -- Hydra Dragon
Took a lot of tries to get this one ... Current + Quake.
Movies Watched -- A Touch of Sin
This is a movie by Jia Zhangke, a young Chinese filmmaker whom I joke makes copycat European arthouse films in the same way that other Chinese manufacturers make fake Gucci handbags and Rolex watches.
There are four separate tragedies presented and the movie runs over two hours. The first is a pure revenge fantasy ... this movie obviously is banned in China because any kind of violent solution to the various social problems presented is a no-no. I wasn't that thrilled with it, or any of Jia's other movies for that matter.

Not the zit cream from our youth, but oil... black gold, not black heads. Energy starved world in the future, I hope you're prepared to pay the heating bill on your 4,000 sq ft McMansion.

ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- July 11, 2014
No changes this week. Last week I feared the bonds might reverse, but they snapped right back (see chart below).
Pity the whipsawed bond players.
2.5% on the Ten Year is the *line*

NQ Mobile Next Stop in Lows 3s
Voodoo from that green circled spot puts this in the low 3s, say, $3.15 a share, next stop. You'd have to go back to 2011 to find someone whose cost basis is lower than the current price ... basically every shareholder here is underwater, many disastrously so ... this means there's no "support."

You may remember PWR from earlier this year ... still think it should go to 32.50.

Money Market Fund Growth in China
A chart from HSBC, but I don't know how accurate it is ... Yu'e Bao has over 500 billion in assets now from zero last June ... that would take the chart from 400 to 900 ... I'm not sure where the other 500-600 billion is coming from since Yu'e Bao's competitors are relatively small.
