Looks like a short to me, but whaddaiknow. A survivor of the dot com bubble, listed in January 1998 if memory serves.

International Comparison of Living Space Per Capita
Nice chart from Nomura ... hard to be bearish on property in China looking at the big picture.
What's the deal with Russia? No one has upgraded from those squalid Soviet-era apartments, or what? My favorite movie of 2012 was 'Elena,' which features a suburban Moscow apartment block, beautifully placed next to a giant cooling tower. Those subtle Russian movies fill me with a dark joy.
How Much Lost Trading OXY?
OXY was Monday's trading idea. Assuming you got long that dummy spot in the morning, where was your initial stop? Could you have gone to breakeven by the end of the day? When price rapidly reversed on Tuesday morning, how much of a hit did you take?
White House West
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.
Trading idea for Mon. Jul. 14, 2014 | Occidental Petro (OXY)
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*
