      Cornerstone’s Unauthorized Liquidation
      They clearly state that they return capital[1], investors know what they're doing. I bet you can make a pretty penny by loaning shares of CRF to someone who wants to short it. Perhaps that's what Renaissance Technologies is doing with their large position.

      Internet No Longer Immune to Economic Slowdown
      Did you listen to the Google conference call at all? They had an economist explain some of the macroeconomic trends they see in their data. Basically they said that advertisers are *not* cutting spending, in fa ct in some industries, like automotive, advertisers are bidding up higher to attract a smaller set of consumers. Indeed consumers are being more cautious with their online spending habits, but Google also said that they expect consumers to do more research online before they buy (making their dollar go further). This in turn should lead to more clicks in the future, like the Wal-Mart effect.

      Google's Android OS Hits Snags with Mobile Carriers
      The Wall St. Journal is article is bogus FUD. There's no delay:

      googlewatch.eweek.com/...

      As for strategy, I think Google just wants to have a platform out there in the mobile market. By offering free software they instantly have something they can use to monetize audio, video, text. I think its a smart move since the mobile industry is a huge market.

      ETFs, Commodities and Dubai
      I was in Dubai in January 2008 and the Gould Souk was alive and bumping...I'm sure it was in a bit of a lull due to the heat.

      It's easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamor there...that's what they're going for. At the Executive Council I remember hearing that they'll run out of most oil in 2017 (Abu Dhabi has much more...) and they're trying to remake their city into a multifaceted hub...brilliant planning and vision if you ask me. You really get to see how quickly a country can grow when it has a leader with a vision and is not bogged down in the slow wheels of democracy (not that democracy is bad...it's just not necessarily optimal for growth when you have a strong, capable leader).

      I think they'll succeed in becoming a transportation hub between Europe and Southeast Asia as well as the de facto financial exchange in the middle east (simply because they have a head start on derivatives). The tourism goals they have are pretty lofty and I doubt they'll meet their internal goals, but who knows.

      I got a chance to go out and stand on the UK island of "The World" as it was being built. Simply amazing.

      It's cool that you got to see Dubai in its infancy. I would encourage anyone who has the chance to visit now. It's not everyday that you get to see the next major metropolis in its infancy.
