What We Will Be Talking About Monday; Possibility of Nice Dividend Payout Before End of Year; KOG, BEXP With Nice Wells; OXY USA With a Well;

While waiting for the NDIC site to post the new IPs (see below), some WSJ links:

This is a very, very interesting story (at least for me). I bike into Harvard Square almost every day. Yesterday, Sunday, I commented to myself that it looked like I was biking in a small Chinese city: the sidewalks were filled with strolling older Chinese (seniors, a bit older than myself, and my age). It appeared that the Chinese were the largest ethnic group in the Harvard Square area; it wasn't just senior Chinese, but also many university students. I tried to guess the second most prominent ethnic group: it was difficult. It wan't Caucasian, but I was not sure whether it was Hispanic. The Caucasians seemed to be about third in number. So, then this story on front page of section B in today's Wall Street Journal:

One in five people who took the GMAT last year was from China, according to a new report from the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the business-school entrance exam globally. The number of tests taken by Chinese citizens rose 45% from last year, to 58,196.

I don't have to remind readers that the Harvard MBA program is the most sought-after MBA program in the world (?). Google change in GMAT equation: Chinese flock to the test

A reader asked where the new KOG acreage was: that's now been posted.

RBN Energy: this is the first in a series about the Henry Hub (natural gas) -- it takes about ten minutes to read; nothing technical; and a great foundation for the entire series regarding pricing of natural gas through the "Henry Hub."

Possible significant dividend payout before end of year from a number of companies.
