[08:20] {Threei} LEH
[08:20] {Threei} COMPANY MULLING CAPITAL RASING AS A ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL OPTION
[08:20] {Threei} is bankruptsy another option?
[08:20] {Threei} oh I forgot... no such thing, fed to rescue
[08:20] {Threei} anyway... good morning
[08:21] {Threei} Good morning QTWW
[08:43] {cosmo} LRXX
[08:44] {cosmo} LXRX
[08:44] {cosmo} 2.50 so far
[08:44] {Threei} 06:30am [LXRX] Drug candidate for Carcinoid Syndrome, LX1032, receives Fast Track Status From the FDA
[08:45] {Threei} 2.5 important resistance to break on daily
[08:45] {magoo} morning
[08:45] {magoo} HEY, i did not need alternate server today
[08:45] {Threei} hi mags
[08:46] {Threei} yes, worked yesterday to fix the issue
[08:46] {Threei} found workaround to stop depending on chat host
[08:46] {Threei} well... don't take it as "I" found it... my tech knowledge is equal to one the cow possesses in ballet
[08:47] {Threei} but I managed the specialists :)
[08:48] {Threei} gotta make a decision on QTWW... sell the gap or try and hold for a swing
[08:48] {Threei} daily is ideal... each red bar day is on lower volume, each green is on higher
[08:49] {Threei} and still climbing slowly, no euphoric spike
[08:49] {magoo} wheres your entry?
[08:49] {Threei} 2.54
[08:50] {magoo} now ill tell u what u would tell me..."partial" lol
[08:51] {Threei} hmmm
[08:51] {Threei} what a novel concept
[08:51] {Threei} thank you :)
[08:52] {Threei} seeing how it goes through red-green days, it's tempting to sell into this gap and wait for a red day to re-enter,
[08:52] {Threei} but that also carries a chance of missing euphoric day
[08:52] {Threei} so I guess partial is da solution
[08:52] {Threei} it spikes, I ride on the balance,
[08:52] {Threei} it retreats, I re-buy sold half
[08:55] {Threei} now, ROYL gap I hate
[08:55] {magoo} he he,dcc quick
[08:56] {Threei} don't tell me you held it
[08:56] {Threei} I'll burst of envy
[09:01] {Threei} sold half at .74, +.20
[09:01] {Threei} 1.5K left
[09:01] {dptl} good morning all
[09:01] {Threei} dp :)
[09:05] {fernp} good morning all

[09:11] {Threei} everyone gets in fine via main server today?
[09:11] {patience} gm RT, and thank you Vad, logged in great this morning
[09:11] {Threei} :)
[09:11] {Threei} hopefully this issue is put to rest
[09:11] {dino} sell the gap, i just did w/ipi from yesterday +.55
[09:12] {Threei} keep that address for reserve one handy
[09:12] {dino} livermore- take the gift
[09:12] {Threei} really :)
[09:12] {Threei} wtg
[09:12] {dino} :)
[09:12] {Threei} as far as I can tell, relocation to new hosting went smoothly
[09:13] {magoo} whatr the f is big ben saying on cnbc?
[09:13] {Threei} but if you run into broken links, missing images etc, please let me know
[09:13] {dino} nothing really
[09:13] {_Kazaam} dollar reacted well
[09:13] {_Kazaam} good morning
[09:14] {Threei} morning kazaam
[09:14] {Threei} IMF'S STRAUSS-KAHN: IT IS TOO SOON TO TELL IF SUB-PRIME CRISIS HAS PASSED, BUT THE BIGGEST PART OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IS BEHIND US
- Sees a credit squeeze in Europe, not a credit crunch.
[09:14] {Threei} - Does not see any more oil price increases
[09:14] {Threei} what did ben say?
[09:16] {Threei} US) FED CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: CONFIDENT DOLLAR WILL REMAIN ''STRONG AND STABLE''
- Fed is attentive to implication for dollar slide, dollar has contributed to the inflation and inflation expectations
[09:16] {Threei} - Dollar slide has contributed to unwelcome rise in import prices and inflation
[09:16] {Threei} - Says will make policy to guard against risks to growth and inflation and commitment to dual mandate will be key to ensuring dollar remains a strong and stable currency
[09:16] {Threei} - Notes that until housing stabilizes growth risks will remain to the downside
[09:16] {Threei} - Financial markets have improved but conditions remain strained and credit generally tight, expects strengthening of capital and liquidity regulations and greater disclosure requirements
[09:16] {Threei} - Inflation is high but pass though of costs to labor and products has been limited
[09:17] {Threei} dual mandate?
[09:17] {Threei} this makes me uneasy
[09:17] {Threei} feds mandate was to control inflation
[09:17] {Threei} (and we all know what a great job they did, right?)
[09:18] {Threei} if they widen mandate to keep economy strong as well, I am afraid they might do just a good job in that direction as well
[09:18] {magoo} is he qualified..seriously?
[09:18] {Threei} for what?
[09:19] {Threei} movie rankings?

[11:04] {Threei} FED CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: REMAINS SKEPTICAL OF THE ABILITY OF CENTRAL BANKS TO PRICK ASSET BUBBLES, NEED TO EXAMINE HOW CENTRAL BANKS RESPOND TO BUBBLES
- Banks can potentially use supervision, regulation to address asset bubbles, brokers, banks must be prepared for strains, it is necessary to ensure that all systemically important financial firms buffered against shocks, Fed direct interaction with banks is key to adequate oversight.
[11:04] {Threei} - Says that much of the USD drop since 2002 has been unwinding of past gain
[11:04] {Threei} this unwinding is part of the process of restoring the global trade balance.
[11:04] {Threei} - Weakening of the USD has had some inflationary impact, a modest commodity price impact.
[11:04] {Threei} - Supply and demand factors are the most important components of commodity prices.
[11:04] {Threei} - The rise in commodity prices are a major shock to inflation and consumer purchasing power

[13:24] {Threei} true
[13:24] {dino} where does cme bottom, -130+ points in a month

[13:26] {magoo} where i short it dino
[13:27] {dino} cme?
[13:29] {dino} my original call last week was 400, now 350 by expiration, but today, imo, the safer play is long after this 25 pt drop from 10:00 am
[13:32] {dino} hrs stopped -.42
[13:32] {Threei} what just happened?
[13:32] {Threei} I see no news for this dump
[13:33] {fernp} what had happened?
[13:33] {Roman} 21 maybe its the OBAMA NEWS
[13:34] {cosmo} they find obama?
[13:34] {cosmo} oops
[13:34] {Threei} wierd
[13:34] {Threei} it's not like it's an unexpected news
[13:35] {fernp} nothing in briefing.com
[13:35] {Threei} and it's not like he is already a president
[13:36] {dino} it's the obama/hillary ticket scaring the sh#t out of markets
[13:40] {dino} breaking yesterdays lod
[13:40] {dino} dji
[13:41] {Chaeron} was the market thinking that they were going to release the alledged Michelle tape and Hillary would get the nom?
[13:42] {_rant} 10:41] {_rant} what made the mkt tank

[13:42] {_rant} [10:41] {_rant} and red everywhere
[13:42] {dino} market is thinking much higher taxes coming next year, capital gains to 28% for starters
[13:43] {Threei} our current guess is, Obama winning nimonation, rant
[13:43] {dino} of course, it could just all be magoos' fault
[13:43] {Chaeron} would we had rallied if Senator clinton won?
[13:44] {Threei} good question Chaeron
[13:45] {dino} either way, not market friendly imo
[13:46] {dino} but....obama showing weakness considering hillary. we know she would not have choosen him
[13:49] {Threei} I don't know what to make of this selloff
[13:49] {Threei} staying on a sideline
[13:49] {Roman} 21 6.2 quake shakes Solomon Isles; no tsunami warning issued - DJ
[13:49] {dino} waiting for ipi around 47.30s
[13:50] {Chaeron} I still think that he should ask Bill to be the VP... He'd accept, just out of ego, even in the face of his his wife losing the nom...and it would be a love fest for the party lol
[13:52] {dino} can he, constitutionally, be pres. again?
[13:52] {dino} vp could end up pres.
[13:55] {Threei} look at LEH

[14:00] {_rant} crap...already in
[14:00] {_rant} ya...
[14:00] {_rant} money evaporating...

[14:01] {_rant} dumb move..
[14:02] {_rant} now lickin my wounds
[14:02] {Threei} ok... trading without stops is surefire way to disaster
[14:02] {_rant} yes it is..
[14:02] {Threei} a lot of people checked it for themselves
[14:02] {Threei} why do you need to join them?
[14:03] {_rant} was getting stopped out..just to see it reverse
[14:04] {Threei} I don't understand
[14:04] {Threei} there is a stop level for any setup
[14:04] {Threei} it's hit, you are out
[14:05] {_rant} broke my own rule...deserve to lose money
[14:07] {Threei} IMO, this market selloff is LEH, not Obama
[14:07] {dino} agree, bit of panic in brokers
[14:07] {dino} but, let's blame the politicians anyway
[14:07] {Chaeron} LKEH shorted itself... they'll be fine
[14:07] {Chaeron} LEH
[14:08] {Threei} lol
[14:08] {Threei} I am really interested how it's going to unfold

[14:51] {Threei} I am getting my half of QTWW back here

[14:54] {_rant} stop loss
[14:55] {Threei} well, it's a swing trade for me, from yesterday
[14:55] {Threei} my original entry was .64,
[14:55] {_rant} ah ok
[14:55] {Threei} sold half at .74 this morning,
[14:55] {Threei} got it back now at .63,
[14:55] {Threei} so I'd think .49 is my logical stop
[14:56] {Threei} for a new entry it's a different structure
[15:04] {Roman} 21 LEH Lehman Brothers denies speculation it accessed Fed borrowing window (31.72 -2.16) -Update-
[15:04] {Roman} 21 nice
[15:04] {Roman} 21 WB again
[15:05] {magoo} vasd, im 50 bux in the hole..find me a winner ..paaaaallllleeease
[15:06] {Chaeron} lol... I must buy twice as much as you magoo
[15:07] {Chaeron} maybe not a good time to bother Vad magoo... he's too busy pitching woo to QTWW
[15:07] {Threei} 50 bucks?
[15:07] {Threei} you could have already made it on that same QTWW
[15:09] {Threei} REPORTEDLY LEHMAN TREASURER DENIES SPECULATION THAT IT HAS ACCESSED FED BORROWING FACILITY; NOTES LAST TIME ACCESSED FACILITY WAS APRIL 16- Notes its liquidity position in Q2 is $40B vs $34B at end of Q1
[15:09] {magoo} coulda..shoulda...c'mon...get me something
[15:10] {Threei} I did... but you need to take me off ignore if you want to see my calls {G}
[15:10] {magoo} i know...
[15:10] {Threei} now, I know you enjoy clicking that Ignore button
[15:11] {magoo} i do..plus u ignore me so i feel like its revenge :)
[15:11] {Threei} but look at the price:
[15:11] {Threei} even if you took lousy 1000 shares of QTWW
[15:11] {Threei} at not the best price available, .65 let's say
[15:12] {Threei} you qwould have been up over 100 bucks already
[15:12] {Threei} which takes care of your pain and suffering
[15:12] {Threei} and even gets you in the black
[15:12] {Threei} sooo... sweet revenge or making money... chose wisely :)
[15:17] {magoo} somehow i feel..as while u type all this...u are not putting forth best effort for my next trade lol
[15:17] {Threei} no... I am not done tormenting you about previous one :)
[15:18] {magoo} and how can i put a price on sweet sweet revenge?
[15:18] {magoo} u, being a mean man of sort..can relate
[15:18] {Threei} me? I am warm and fuzzy
[15:20] {magoo} your so cold...i heard it was your original idea for the quebec ice hotel
[15:21] {Threei} actually, they killed it
[15:21] {Threei} I didn't mean to have blankets, fireplaces etc in it
[15:21] {Threei} it was meant to be just ice
[15:21] {magoo} ROFLOL
[15:21] {magoo} i have immediate family that went there
[15:21] {magoo} actually, they froze
[15:24] {Threei} market's fate is in LEH hands for the next few sessions
[15:24] {Threei} LEH goes the way of Dodo and BSC - market drops like there is no tomorrow
[15:25] {Threei} LEH proves to be honest when says "no problem" (give me a minute to laugh out loud) 0 market explodes tio the upside
[15:26] {_rant} worth going long on WB at 21.7 ?
[15:27] {Threei} Roman's baby... I don't have a grip on it

[15:38] {Threei} look at ROYL
[15:39] {Threei} see mags... I was trying to make you money... again
[15:39] {Threei} (all to no avail)

[15:41] {magoo} oh contrare monfrare

[15:44] {magoo} whren u said do not chase..i figured hmm..he wants to hurt me ,..so i went in
[15:44] {Threei} lol
[15:44] {Chaeron} logical
[15:44] {Threei} at the moment pullback to .50 was best entry
[15:44] {magoo} cause watching a runner hurts
[15:45] {Threei} question is,
[15:45] {Threei} has OMNI a good chance to gap?
[15:45] {Threei} or LEH goes belly up overnight and all gaps are eliminated :)
[15:45] {magoo} not great day..but winn streak contuinues to day 6
[15:45] {Threei} not great eh?
[15:45] {magoo} in a tiough market for magoo

[15:53] {Threei} that was another 150 bucks for you mags
[15:53] {Threei} now... may I hope to be taken off ignore?
[15:53] {_rant} how do u spot breakouts ?
[15:54] {Threei} scanner
[15:54] {Threei} it spits them out like tennis ball machine
[15:54] {_rant} and scan for what kind of formula
[15:54] {Threei} not formula
[15:54] {Threei} chart fomration
[15:54] {Threei} formation
[15:55] {_Kazaam} are you using trade ideas?
[15:55] {Threei} our version of it
[15:55] {Threei} IntelliScan
[15:55] {Threei} has our setups built in
[15:56] {_rant} i use strategyDesk
[15:56] {Threei} including JBE and DBI, my setups for breakout/breakdown
[15:56] {_rant} jbe ?
[15:56] {Threei} OK... you need to read some of our matwerials :)
[15:56] {_rant} ya :0
[15:56] {Threei} techniques of tape Reading
[15:56] {Threei} The master profit plan
[15:56] {Threei} these two is a must
[15:57] {Threei} scalping video course IF you focus on intraday trading
[15:57] {Threei} I am ready to answer any questions, but you realize I can't retype whole book here :)
[15:58] {_rant} sure..will go through it..
[15:58] {Threei} btw
[15:58] {fernp} IMO video course also is a must
[15:58] {Threei} if after reading through the website you decide you need it, pay attention to best value offer
[15:59] {_rant} but wot i am not clear is, u still have to tell intelliscan software wot u r looking for
[15:59] {Threei} MPP, videocourse and online course, and psych CDs ASND two months of room on top
[15:59] {Threei} that's not even value... that's a steal
[15:59] {_rant} based on some conditions it will pop out some stocks..right
[15:59] {Threei} there are preconfigured strategies in it rant
[16:00] {Threei} can tweak them all you want,
[16:00] {Threei} or can use them as it is
[16:00] {_rant} i see
