I wonder who is buying all those REIT offerings.

 

Clarina Man, a spokeswoman for BOC Hong Kong, declined to comment on the HKMA report. Vera Lung, a spokeswoman for Bank of East Asia, didn’t immediately return calls from Bloomberg seeking comment.

I like that Arlen thinks he is entitled to be a senator for life and by today's standards I think he has a point. When the Military Commissions Act of 06 was up for debate he went onto the senate floor and said "seeks to do is set back basic rights by some 900 years" (referring to the Magna Carta) and is "patently unconstitutional on its face." Then he voted for it.

He did the same thing with the renewal of the patriot act. He's very calculating, politically. I don't get it. He hasn't been the same since his brain tumor.

If I read this article correctly, the only thing standing between 90% of the U.S. tech industry and oblivion is an abstract concept called "intellectual property." We've got the patents and the copyrights, but they've got the know-how and the biggest market. So how much longer will they keep on dutifully tithing to 'Merica's rentier economy?

 

The phone’s sleek lines and touch-screen keyboard are unmistakably familiar. So is the logo on the back. But a sales clerk at a sprawling electronic goods market in this Chinese coastal city admits what is clear upon closer inspection: this is not the Apple iPhone; this is the Hi-Phone.

Popular northern Kahlifornia model: the High-Fone.
