    My latest post was not picked up by Seeking Alpha today. I write about INFL, which is a way to trade inflation expectations. The blog is at wp.me/pIy5M-yv if you want to read it.

    Thanks for noting this -- and a wag of the finger at SA for not publishing!

    I have decided I am unable to predict which ones they will not pick up. :-)

    Thanks IT. Was still thinking if SA still doesn't pick up i'll have to make a trip to your blog.
    Thanks for the link :) learn alot from your insight though i'm still young into investment, and living in the other part of the universe which ppl here don't really write about. Unfortunately sometimes i couldn't decipher what you mean exactly in a practical way. The comments here have definitely been helpful.
    Happy NY again :)

    Thanks cyenwong. I hope this article isn't too far over people's heads altogether. It was a long one already, and as I re-read it I thought "well, I'll lose some people here, and here, and here." But to expand on what I mean by 'modified duration,' for example, ... well, actually I suppose I could do that in a sentence or two. But all of those sentences add up.

    I try to make my writing understandable as possible, but we have to keep in mind that there's still science here - making it sound simple doesn't necessarily mean it IS simple, you know? Thanks for reading - I hope you keep learning, and please ask questions and I (or someone else) will try and add illumination where possible.
