Like Amazon yesterday, Avon was unusually active which provided an opportunity for alert day traders and their many bot brethren (overlords?).

Amazon Pop, One Minute View
Rumor-driven markets ... the bots scan for unusual activity and latch on ... human beings can still join the game if they're alert.

Marcus Lyon's Exodus
Love this guy's work.
"Signed Limited Edition Digital Fibre Museum Bareyte Print float mounted on aluminium. Each work is produced in an edition of 7 and is printed at 1600 x 800mm."
I asked Marcus about buying one, but it's sold out.
"I have one Artist Proof left the edition is now sold out. Edition 7/7 sold for £20,000. The Final Artists Proof is priced at £25,000."
ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- January 19, 2015
Four changes on this shortened week ... VXX / XIV cancel each other out in a way ... fortunate to have gotten long the precious metals in mid-December, those markets may have been anticipating the move in the Swissie.
Movies Watched -- Birdman
Two hours long ... starts with Ray Carver quote ... Michael Keaton ... life after Batman ... adapting Carver for the stage ... amusing ... theater people will love this ... oh, Ed Norton, I hate Ed Norton ... this is inside baseball ... theater world, movie world jokes, in-jokes ... Naomi Watts, I like her ... fast forwarding from 20 minutes ... filmed as one long take ... he has superpowers, it's funny ... very comical scenes ... sending up Hollywood and the blockbuster mentality ... camerawork is dizzying ... ah, done by Iñárritu ... yeah, I wouldn't want to sit through two hours of that, but it did look funny, if you're in the mood. Yellow rating.
Movies Watched -- Diplomacy
83 minutes ... Paris 1944 ... in French and German ... German plans to level Paris, out of spite ... Nordling, a Swedish diplomat trying to convince the German general in charge to do otherwise ... 10,000 tons of bombs dropped on Hamburg ... "my conscience is clear" ... stopped it at 40 minutes and read the script instead, just dialogue between two guys, not really a movie, could be a stage play ... doubt it really went down anything like that ... might be interesting to someone who's interested in history, one highly stylized version of history anyway. Yellow rating.
