<<Watch the real estate market in HK, gonna be utter destruction in price>>

... watching and hoping, and praying for destruction, but no movement as yet, and in fact prospective buyer offering 2x cost for something bought back in feb-april 2007 (price set-closing) based on prospective yield in relation to bank deposit, and we are saying 'must better offer before approaching board for approval' because we do not wish to increase yieldless cash

Ouch.
And Bloomberg confirmed that it was Harbinger that puked the AK Steel shares.
I note that Bill Miller's fund is down 50% since last October. I wonder what his redemption numbers are looking like....
