   What is it with Amazon that makes it possible for them to sell eBooks to anywhere in the world no questions asked? I hate DRM and I love my B&N nook, but fuck it, I want Amazon to make Kindle app for nook! Really tired of seeing "not av

   there are other objects flying 500ft AGL and much much higher you know. Every now and then they too hit aircraft and are sucked into engines. How many people have died due to them during last century of flight? As many as car crash deaths i

    the problem with official cablegate torrents is that there are very few trackers in them and DHT is reportedly disabled. Not sure why they did it this way.

    Another N810 user here. Love it! I have N900, but it SUCKS - the screen and keyboard are too small for doing anything serious. My girlfriend uses it now, mostly as a phone :)

    There's no dilution with ETF. When ETF shares are created (via formation of Creation Unit), the ETF holdings increase by equal amount of underlying assets. You can create as many ETF shares as market demands (until you run out of possibilit

    okay, I was sloppy in my description of ETF mechanics. but from investor point of view it still works as I described - she goes to market, places bid for ETF shares. Then the process splits as following: a) if there are sellers in the marke

    I don't quite understand what you're saying. From what I understand when the ETF achieves cash position needed to generate 1 creation unit (usually 50k ETF shares, as you correctly point out), then the fund is absolutely required to purch

    1. read the prospectus. if the fund is comprised of stocks as opposed to derivatives it will be comprised of stocks. Of course fund will only buy whole and large amounts of shares, so say you put 1 ETF share worth $100, the fund won't be hu

    is an index with just one underlying company actually possible? I don't think so - we're not talking commodities here, but equity. Every index fund I've seen or traded had multiple underlying assets, even if some of them were derivatives...

    I think Twitter would be very bad fit for any tech company, but it would also be very surprising to me if they can achieve valuation of anything above $5bn post-IPO...

    I don't see a resemblance? Is any app that tracks multiple packages a knock-off? I don't think so. And I've been using original Delivery Status (as an OSX widget) before there even was App Store.
