来自主题: Stock版 - Mortgage Rate to go to 2%? Like Japan
In the 1980s, nobody could imagine a mortgage rate below 10%. In the 1990s,
nobody could imagine a mortgage rate below 7%. In the 2000s, nobody could
imagine a mortgage rate below 5%. Yet here we are, in 2011… and mortgage
rates have spent the last month in the 4.5% range.
As long as I can remember, the trend in interest rates has been down. This
chart shows the trend clearly…
Could mortgage rates go any lower? Of course.
How?
Japan's experience shows us how…
In the late 1980s in Japan, asset pr... 阅读全帖

来自主题: Stock版 - Once again, about "time decay"
Time decay is kind of mystified here. It is not magic.
For example, people talk about shorting tna and tza at the same time. Lets
take a look at such a trade.
Imagine you short $10,000 worth of TNA and TZA both. So you need a fund of $
20,000. Imagine IWM first go down 3% and then up 3%. So TNA and TZA go up 9%
and down 9% in different order, and both becomes 99.19% of the original
value, and you pocket a profit of .81%, or $162.
Now imagine instead of doing the above trade, you buy $5400 worth ... 阅读全帖

Stephen King: Euro meltdown would pave the way for another Great Depression

The euro's future is all our futures. Whether or not you like the single
currency, the world economy's health depends on its survival. Should the

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Imagine a company that has predicated its future on
building out large-scale projects in desert conditions. Now imagine the
technology the company uses doesn't have a long-term track record of
performing under intense heat.
You don't have to imagine the company. It's First Solar(FSLR), and based on

来自主题: Seattle版 - 黄石公园11天10夜游线路参考
黄石公园,作为全美第一个国家公园,它的美是无与伦比的。至于游览多长时间为好,
根据自己的时间和兴趣,要想每个景点看一遍,至少要在里面玩三天。大部分旅行社的
线路安排都是一整天,走马观花,在几个著名景点前拍照留念,到此一游。每年的黄石
公园线路总是最受欢迎的,今年8月份的线路提前一个月就定满了。西雅图出发5天大巴
团,比起飞到盐湖城、洛杉矶、拉斯维加斯来参团有利有弊。好处是省心,从家门口出
发,5天后返回,不需要经过飞行、接机送机的麻烦,费用低很多;缺点就是,坐车时
间长。好在沿途停留的景点不少。
下面这个线路,是西雅图一帮爱好旅游的老外定的线路,大部分是单身,参团并交友,
线路比我们的长一倍,安排了更多的游玩项目。当然,他们的费用是我们的6倍!线路
供自驾游的朋友参考。

费用:
单人 $3,524/人 (正常价格 $3,775)

来自主题: LeisureTime版 - Nella Fantasia - 传教者的灵魂
1986年的一部电影《The Mission》,讲一个西班牙传教士去南美传教的故事。电影里
有这样一段,在南美的丛林里,传教士Gabriel走累了,坐在溪水边吹起随身带的双簧
管,乐声穿越树梢,盘旋山林。这时,躲在他身后剑拔弩张的土著人,好像被他的音乐
感染,忘记了射杀这头猎物。后来土著酋长出来,把他的管子折成两段,但他却幸免于
难. 音乐让他打开了一扇门,从此开始了与当地人的交往。
这段很有戏剧性的场景里,Gabriel吹的那首曲子,是意大利电影配乐大师Ennio
Morricone的作品。这首曲子采用大调,以缓慢的长音音阶开始,以不断重复上行的旋
律展开,5.-32-21-1---, 5.-32-211---, 好像是Gabriel自己志向的表达,感觉里面
有一种坚韧不拔的精神,有一种崇高的宗教情怀。Gabriel’s Oboe这首曲子,也许沾
了电影的光,它像穿越云层,照在湖心的一束光,虽然不是耀眼夺目,却让世间有了别
样的美丽,就像这首曲子的另一个名字:On earth as it is in heaven。

Ang Lee and the uncertainty of success
jeffjlin
Recently I was going through some old things I had put away for safekeeping,
and I found these:
Business card and interview tape, circa 1993.
In 1993 I interviewed film director Ang Lee before the US premiere of his
second movie, “The Wedding Banquet,” at the Seattle International Film
Festival (at the time I was editor of the International Examiner and we were
one of their media spons... 阅读全帖

来自主题: LeisureTime版 - 理科教育是人生失败的根源
已观察多时了, imagination 和 creativity 的东西在大多数中国人的眼里就是:
1.有毛病
2.逻辑有问题
3.脑袋有问题。
4.荒谬。
。。。。。
因为新的 imagination 往往不是很符合和大家已经接受的多年逻辑的逻辑。
imagination 和 creativity 靠的是什么?是独立思考,再说一遍,是独立思考。
独立思考是什么?就是不去附和别人人云亦云的想法。不去在说出自己的想法之前先问
问大众是否符合所谓的逻辑。。或者是别人怎么看。

It makes more sense that Alfred imagined this scene, 'cause he never gave
Bruce the name or the address of the restaurant in Florence. Yet Bruce
appears in the exact same seat as Alfred expects him to be in.
That being said, why would Alfred imagine that it was Selina Kyle sitting in
the cafe with Bruce? Why her specifically? she was just a fake housemaid
and thief to Alfred. Does that, then, imply this scene is not a figment of
his imagination, but all true? We'll see.

I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself

这个酒店,事先的设计、打地基、预制件生产肯定不止6天。贴视频也是个标题党,“
第一天”明显是两天,从开始工作到天黑,一共是20个小时。估计是第一天夜里没加班
,和第二天早上连一起了。而且可以注意里面基本上一个昼夜交替是20小时,说明一天
还休息了4个小时。视频里也没说是连续工作或者六天建成。所以全部时间应该是7天到
8天。工作时间是136.5小时。但是能这样建起来还是很令人惊讶的。远大公司还在世博

Will China stay on course?
By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
Events in the Middle East and North Africa are of historic importance, but
the even bigger, long-term story is the rise of China. What path will it
choose at home and abroad in the years ahead?
For decades there has been debate at the highest levels of the Chinese
government about how much to modernize politically to ensure growth and
stave off revolution.
It’s notoriously difficult to analyze the inner workings off the Chinese
