Despite the title to this thread, I am presently watching approximately 16 developments, not exactly 16. Regardless, here they are, complete with some introductory commentary that I periodically update. To get the latest commentary and news on each development, follow the link for each.

I'll be posting this index thread around the web over the next few months....
