It wasn't that long ago that the Korea Fund had a really big premium. Let's see, what it's at-- wow, almost 16% discount. And about the same for KEF. How about buy those and short EWY? Then, given my luck, watch EWY decline only 10% while the funds go to a 25% discount. Do you think maybe people are doing the opposite--buying EWY or Matthews Korea fund and shorting KF or KEF? So many things sound like a good idea until you try them.

To All, cheapskate suits. Bluefly is offering 25% off all of their already discounted men's suits. They often have coupons, but this is the biggest discount I've seen from them. Brands include chi-chi brandname suits like Zegna, Armani and Canali. And less expensive but excellent suits like Hickey-Freeman and Jhane Barnes. The 25% also works in the Clearance section, though they currently have very few suits available there. But there are some outstanding Giovanni Vastas that are superb quality if a bit "Chairman of the Boardish" in look.
