We don't hear enough about Indonesia these days (or ever?), so here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-01/indonesia-chases-china-as-middle-class-consumption-soars.html

Chouinard's autobiography, Let My People Go Surfing, is an excellent book. I recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/Let-People-Surfing-Education-Businessman/dp/0143037838/ Great company too. No idea how profitable they are, but their are pioneers in my things including the environmental protection angle.

Interesting thanks for posting. That magazine has amazing production values, I love the paintings.

Kind of a hostile interviewer too. There seems to be an undercurrent of "how dare you, Mr. American, try to take over our Canadian railroad. It might not be well run or make money, but all that matters is the nationality of the people controlling it." (Don't get me wrong, I like tough interviews, but this one has a "I'm trying really hard to get you" feeling to it. Bill's too smart for that, though). http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/video/video-pershing-squares-ackman-appears-on-bnn/article2415658/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/video/video-pershing-squares-ackman-appears-on-bnn-part-2/article2415662/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/video/video-pershing-squares-ackman-appears-on-bnn-part-3/article2415663/

I'm curious to know what was said about EBIX. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the event :'(

This one is great:

To me, this doesn't seem to contradict Taubes theory.

Do you have a more reputable source than some guy on YouTube?

Shouldn't that be a "Buffett" menu? ;)

There are worse things in life. But that's not what I do. I found that link on a reputable site, and I had read a lot about HFT but never from someone who actually worked on it. I did find that article an interesting introduction, which is why I posted it here. If it had been a waste of time, I wouldn't have posted it. I'm not saying it made me change my mind on HFT, but it was a good reminder that not all computer-based-trading strategies are the same, and some are definitely more market distorting and not beneficial socially while others can probably actually help with liquidity and reduce spreads. As with most things, reality is probably in the gray zone.

Well, either you already know everything about HFT and it's pointless to read more about it, or you don't know much about it, and with this attitude you'll never learn. Not sure what else to tell you.

I could tell you but that would take too long...

Well, that's Mr. Market for you. But at the same time, those of us who have never had to deal with this type of cancer wont know at first how benign it is... So I can understand how the first reaction can be out of proportion, but it's the media's job to provide context and for people to do their research.
