Inflation… dollar devaluation … trillion in annual interest payments on U.S. government debt.

My LiveCharts View
The eSignal guys told me that they've discontinued selling LiveCharts, which is too bad. Old users like me are safe, they still maintain the site for us. I like having a web-based interface in case I'm using some other computer somewhere else, and I've always loved how clean these charts look.
It costs $45 a month plus another $30 in exchange fees (if you just trade stocks), so that's about as cheap as you could ever find anywhere, and means I'll probably never drop it. You're limited to five watchlists and five hotlists and ten charts (drag another half dozen charts onto another monitor if you wish), so it's not a "power user" kind of thing. But if you're a dentist who daytrades in between appointments, it suffices.
I always like seeing how people set up their screens. Bloomberg had a nice feature when I was an $1800 a month user where you could share your LaunchPad setup with other $1800 a month users. I was reminded of that while doing the Money dot net trial, since they also allow you to share your Money dot net view with other Money dot net buddies.

Trend-following the Russian Market
The trend in the RSX flipped up for a few weeks last summer, but it has been down down down for awhile now. No excuse for being long this....
After-hours Blues
BLUE is a biotech stock ... not sure what the news was but it must have been good. :-) If there were an "axe" on Twitter I could ask in real-time after-hours about these things, it would be nice.
LiveCharts Look
Pretty slick web-based charting... I'll post my quibbles over time as I play with it.
Apple versus Samsung
Samsung getting destroyed on low end by Chinese manufacturers (Xiaomi, Huawei, Lenovo, etc.) ... on the high end by Apple ... market appears to have done a good job discounting the 6+ model ... not unreasonable to think Samsung will return to 660,000 or so, a level it saw back in August 2011.
Gold (GLD) Looking Rusty
Candlevolume chart of the GLD (Inception date: 11/18/2004) ... the width of the year shows you how active trading was ... 2014 shaping up to be a "thin" year as price falls and activity drops. 2012 thin, 2013 thinner, 2014 thinnest. You can see that in the early years of the boom, 2004 05 06 07, there was very little trading in the GLD. Everyone who purchased after May 2010 and held is underwater. A lot of latecomers are bagholders now, that's for sure.

Malaysian Airlines Stock Price Chart
Peaked in 2007, all downhill from there. Currently around six US cents a share. Disappearance of MH370 and shooting down of MH17 aren't especially obvious on this monthly chart. AirAsia's chart looks a little better.
UPDATE Aug 8, 2014 5:40 AM GMT-0400
“Malaysian Airline System Bhd. (MAS) will be delisted after sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd. offered to buy out minority shareholders in a restructuring plan for the national carrier that suffered two disasters this year.”
Centaline Secondary Price Index
