Blockbuster ... a little overly long at 105 minutes before the credits ... Tom Cruise, I like Tom Cruise, think he's talented ... not sure who the female lead was, some blue-eyed British girl with very little body fat ... one of those Groundhog Day timewarp things that gets confusing ... major props for paying homage to the Terminator with the key drop from visor ... amazing special effects, must have been something on the big screen. One of those movies that probably cost 100 million dollars to make. War porn of a sort. Yellow rating.
Movies Watched -- Alan Partridge, Alpha Papa
Again in the queue before I instituted the 90% fresh cutoff ... British comedy, very British ... had some funny bits ... old DJs versus corporate radio, do people still listen to radio? Anywhere in the world? Even Norwich? Starred the guy from that awful Philomena movie. 90 minutes long, which was the right length. Yellow rating.
Array Biopharma Pop, 1 Minute View
Avon Pop, 1 Minute View
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.
