[07:59] {Threei} U.S. financials: A large U.S. bank will soon collapse - Former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff
[07:59] {Threei} - "The U.S. is not out of the woods. I think the financial crisis is at the halfway point, perhaps. I would even go further to say 'the worst is to come'," he told a financial conference.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We're not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we're going to see a whopper, we're going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks," said Rogoff.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We have to see more consolidation in the financial sector before this is over," he said.
[07:59] {Threei} - "Probably Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - despite what U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said - these giant mortgage guarantee agencies are not going to exist in their present form in a few years."
[07:59] {Threei} - "There was this view early on in the crisis that sovereign wealth funds could save everybody. Investment banks did something stupid, they lost money in the sub-prime, they're great buys, sovereign wealth funds come in and make a lot of money by buying them. That view neglects the point that the financial system has become very bloated in size and needed to shrink," he added.
[08:02] {hawkfan4} scary stuff
[08:02] {Threei} whole thing unfolding over last half year or so is scary
[08:02] {Threei} almost apocalyptic
[08:03] {Threei} this is potentially of "end of empire" caliber
[08:03] {Threei} and when I think of alternatives for the ruler of the world, I shudder
[08:04] {hawkfan4} yikes, me too
[08:05] {Threei} it's not really easy to imagine the end of USA empire any time soon, it's sheer size and might are still beyond the reach of anything and anyone,ill
[08:05] {Threei} size of US economy is larger than three next combined
[08:05] {Threei} but then again,
[08:06] {Threei} tell to someone in 80s that Soviet empire will be gone in 10 years
[08:06] {Threei} who would believe it?
[08:07] {Threei} OK, on a lighter note
[08:07] {Threei} here is the news item I just read
[08:07] {hawkfan4} :)
[08:08] {Threei} ·In fixed income the results from the DMO's meeting with the GEMMs showed that most GEMMs favored either a 2017 or 2022 I/L GILT to begin the quarter
[08:08] {Threei} huh?
[08:08] {Threei} lol
[08:08] {hawkfan4} lol, might as well be Russian for me
[08:08] {Threei} not a single abbreviation in that sentence that I could understand
[08:09] {Threei} watching FNM
[08:09] {Threei} not taking any position yet
[08:09] {Threei} it lost 6 but buying came in strongly
[08:09] {Threei} took it back
[08:10] {hawkfan4} in SOL small for a bounce, stop 27.20
[08:10] {hawkfan4} 17.10 i mean
[08:10] {Threei} I think this thing goes down with no bottom in sight
[08:10] {Threei} FNM that is
[08:10] {Threei} but gotta be careful, spikes can be vicious
[08:11] {hawkfan4} yep, stopped sol, speaking of bottomless
[08:11] {Threei} UAUA new highs
[08:12] {hawkfan4} flipped it overnight +.27
[08:15] {Threei} nice
[08:15] {Threei} so next major support for USO to loe is 90, right?
[08:15] {Threei} lose
[08:16] {hawkfan4} yep
[08:18] {Threei} wow
[08:18] {Threei} INCA bid on UAUA
[08:18] {Threei} if true
[08:19] {hawkfan4} a monster
[08:19] {Threei} let's see if it stays after couple sales
[08:20] {Threei} sheesh, chasing up
[08:21] {hawkfan4} in .46
[08:21] {Threei} haha
[08:21] {Threei} in .42
[08:21] {hawkfan4} :)
[08:21] {Threei} 500 at .40 and 500 and .44
[08:22] {Threei} offering .60
[08:23] {Threei} some "probing" sales, bid holds
[08:25] {Threei} absorbing sales... he IS real
[08:25] {Threei} out
[08:25] {Threei} will try to re-enter lower
[08:25] {hawkfan4} me too, out .50
[08:32] {Threei} FNM does a lot of dancing here
[08:32] {Threei} new bidder came to UAUA... ugh
[08:33] {Threei} bidding .56
[08:33] {Threei} got 200
[08:34] {Threei} 765
[08:35] {Threei} OK, enough for premarket play, canceled the rest
[08:35] {hawkfan4} you're much more patient than i am, grabbed those .60's when they were offered
[08:36] {Threei} there were a few prints at .56, so I thought maybe hidden offer
[08:36] {Threei} offering .70
[08:40] {Threei} USO selling
[08:43] {Threei} message to UAUA big bidders: stop bidding, take out those offers (mine included)
[08:44] {hawkfan4} no kidding, quit dilly dallying and take it up to 16! :)
[08:45] {Threei} yeah
[08:45] {Threei} ugh, USO upticking
[08:45] {hawkfan4} out, oild spiking

[09:07] {cosmo} oh
[09:08] {judijim} good morning all
[09:08] {Threei} jj :)
[09:09] {Threei} initial assumptions for the plays today: looking to short FNM at some point, looking for UAUA long if oil continues slide
[09:09] {cosmo} seniors should get a discount then
[09:10] {Threei} so far 6.20 is FNM's resistance
[09:10] {Raven}
3 they do at some groc stores around here
[09:10] {Raven}
3 but you have to remember to tell them that you are old
[09:11] {magoo} thats a heck of a uso spike
[09:11] {cosmo} its so hard to remember that
[09:11] {Raven}
3 I know
[09:11] {Raven}

[09:12] {cosmo} and pay in full...
[09:12] {Raven}

[09:19] {peterg} This is a test of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking good morning group. Now I can talk without typing
[09:19] {peterg} So I can fill the space endlessly with chatter
[09:19] {Threei} wow

[09:19] {peterg} That's next
[09:19] {peterg} Them on to world domination
[09:20] {Threei} yeah, make sure it doesn't accidentally enters orders
[09:20] {peterg} I think I'll go back to typing is a little more relaxing
[09:20] {patience} tell it: buy patience 10,000 shares of google
[09:20] {peterg} done!
[09:21] {patience} very generous of you peter, ty :))))
[09:21] {pita} Dragon is great - I use it all the time - but not for tradong
[09:21] {peterg} there is now a version ten, mine is 9 but pretty good.
[09:21] {Threei} I resist progress.. but maybe I need to try it
[09:21] {pita} I have 9 too
[09:22] {pita} It doesn't mis-spell
[09:22] {Threei} haha
[09:22] {peterg} it is good for a lot of communication, but it can really screw up
[09:22] {Threei} don't underestimate me
[09:22] {pita} sometimes you get gibberish
[09:22] {Threei} with my prononciation it WILL misspell
[09:22] {peterg} it will force a word
[09:23] {peterg} on you.
[09:23] {GeoArb} yeah it doesnt do well with accents
[09:23] {pita} there is always Rosetta stone
[09:23] {Threei} is there trial for it?
[09:23] {pita} don't know
[09:30] {Onix} Am I still logged in?
[09:30] {Threei} yes sir
[09:30] {magoo} nope
[09:30] {peterg} maybe
[09:30] {pita} take a vote
[09:30] {Onix} tknx
[09:30] {Threei} FNM .18 short
[09:30] {Threei} if stays below .25

[09:31] {Threei} 6.03
[09:32] {Threei} stop .21 for the second half
[09:33] {Threei} out for now
[09:36] {Threei} watching USO for loss of 91
[09:36] {Threei} if happens, UAUA should launch
[09:36] {Threei} if breaks .25, no play
[09:39] {Threei} UAUA went up in anticipation... USO still holding support
[09:39] {Threei} if you took it aggressively, take profit here
[09:40] {Threei} USO is really unclear in this range
[09:40] {Threei} if loses 91, UAUA is still a play on .50 break
[09:41] {Threei} on the other end of spectre, USO is long on .25 break
[09:41] {Threei} smaaaal shares
[09:42] {Threei} in aggresively
[09:42] {magoo} .36
[09:43] {Threei} .19 stop'

[09:54] {Threei} out .65
[09:54] {GeoArb} is uso shortable for you guys?
[09:54] {Threei} .70 hit too
[09:55] {Threei} no Geo
[09:55] {GeoArb} same here
[09:55] {Threei} OK, no excuse for not profiting on UAUA here
[09:55] {Threei} clean play, no matter whether you took it aggressively or on .50 break
[09:56] {GeoArb} good call vad
[09:57] {Threei} ty
[10:01] {Onix} Thanks Vad, I got 5c + 10c + 7c & -12c
[10:01] {Threei} lemme compute
[10:02] {GeoArb} 10?
[10:02] {Threei} +10 cents I think overall
[10:02] {GeoArb} depends on scaleouts
[10:02] {Threei} but I am ready to stand corrected
[10:02] {Onix} played it 4 x
[10:02] {GeoArb} i was in late

[10:05] {GeoArb} good to be pressing keys though
[10:08] {Threei} SOLR small shares long on pullback under .50
[10:09] {Threei} not going to take offer
[10:09] {Threei} under .50 or no play
[10:09] {Threei} .40 -.45 is entry idea
[10:09] {Threei} with stop under .30
[10:10] {esemde} I like that one Vad.....i'll wait with you

[10:21] {Threei} Onix :)
[10:21] {magoo} half .85
[10:22] {Threei} see, my problem with it is,
[10:22] {magoo} going to 4?
[10:22] {Threei} I am confident it goes much lower
[10:22] {Threei} but it won't be any kind of straight line
[10:22] {Threei} and bounces will be very tough to handle
[10:23] {magoo} we need to try and sh the bopunce..i know ..tough but
[10:23] {Threei} so partial out is ideal way for it
[10:23] {Threei} control the risk and give it a chance
[10:25] {Threei} LEH
[10:25] {Threei} 13.99 short
[10:25] {Threei} half lot
[10:25] {Threei} stop .21 for now

[10:41] {Threei} FED'S FISHER: 'UNSURPRISED' BY THE RECENT USD REVERSAL - Q&A
[10:41] {Threei} - Also says he doesn't see US productivity on slide
[10:42] {GeoArb} economist had a semi positive report on US real estate
[10:42] {Threei} probably trailing LEH to .15 makes sense here
[10:42] {GeoArb} over the weekend
[10:43] {Threei} if it doesn't break down soon, no need to endure bigger bounce
[10:44] {Threei} TASR

[11:06] {Threei} let me copy and save that
[11:07] {Threei} not often I hear anything of kind
[11:07] {GeoArb} hehe now i gotta go back and check
[11:07] {Threei} LEH, either makes double bottom here or breaks down,
[11:07] {Threei} levels are
[11:08] {Threei} for bouble bottom confirmation .88
[11:08] {Threei} for breakdown .70
[11:08] {Threei} so you have your structure for setup
[11:08] {Threei} long at .88 if holding above .72
[11:08] {Threei} or short at .72 break if staying under .90
[11:09] {Threei} both plays are half lot
[11:09] {Threei} for those who hold the balance from otiginal play, that's a new stop
[11:09] {Threei} .90
[11:09] {Threei} breakdown
[11:09] {Threei} good
[11:09] {Threei} bidding .60 for the balance

[11:31] {Threei} that's what dino says
[11:31] {Threei} although I prefer to think og him as prepared mind
[11:32] {GeoArb} luck favors the prepared mind or something like that
[11:32] {Threei} :)
[11:32] {GeoArb} lois pasteur

[16:00] {Onix} Thanks Vad, & all ... until tomorrow
[07:59] {Threei} U.S. financials: A large U.S. bank will soon collapse - Former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff
[07:59] {Threei} - "The U.S. is not out of the woods. I think the financial crisis is at the halfway point, perhaps. I would even go further to say 'the worst is to come'," he told a financial conference.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We're not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we're going to see a whopper, we're going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks," said Rogoff.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We have to see more consolidation in the financial sector before this is over," he said.
[07:59] {Threei} - "Probably Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - despite what U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said - these giant mortgage guarantee agencies are not going to exist in their present form in a few years."
[07:59] {Threei} - "There was this view early on in the crisis that sovereign wealth funds could save everybody. Investment banks did something stupid, they lost money in the sub-prime, they're great buys, sovereign wealth funds come in and make a lot of money by buying them. That view neglects the point that the financial system has become very bloated in size and needed to shrink," he added.
[08:02] {hawkfan4} scary stuff
[08:02] {Threei} whole thing unfolding over last half year or so is scary
[08:02] {Threei} almost apocalyptic
[08:03] {Threei} this is potentially of "end of empire" caliber
[08:03] {Threei} and when I think of alternatives for the ruler of the world, I shudder
[08:04] {hawkfan4} yikes, me too
[08:05] {Threei} it's not really easy to imagine the end of USA empire any time soon, it's sheer size and might are still beyond the reach of anything and anyone,ill
[08:05] {Threei} size of US economy is larger than three next combined
[08:05] {Threei} but then again,
[08:06] {Threei} tell to someone in 80s that Soviet empire will be gone in 10 years
[08:06] {Threei} who would believe it?
[08:07] {Threei} OK, on a lighter note
[08:07] {Threei} here is the news item I just read
[08:07] {hawkfan4} :)
[08:08] {Threei} ·In fixed income the results from the DMO's meeting with the GEMMs showed that most GEMMs favored either a 2017 or 2022 I/L GILT to begin the quarter

[08:08] {Threei} lol
[08:08] {hawkfan4} lol, might as well be Russian for me

[08:10] {hawkfan4} in SOL small for a bounce, stop 27.20
[08:10] {hawkfan4} 17.10 i mean
[08:10] {Threei} I think this thing goes down with no bottom in sight
[08:10] {Threei} FNM that is
[08:10] {Threei} but gotta be careful, spikes can be vicious

[08:34] {Threei} 765
[08:35] {Threei} OK, enough for premarket play, canceled the rest
[08:35] {hawkfan4} you're much more patient than i am, grabbed those .60's when they were offered
[08:36] {Threei} there were a few prints at .56, so I thought maybe hidden offer
[08:36] {Threei} offering .70
[08:40] {Threei} USO selling
[08:43] {Threei} message to UAUA big bidders: stop bidding, take out those offers (mine included)

[09:06] {cosmo} sigh...yeah
[09:06] {Threei} hungry is one thing you don't get on cruise ship
[09:07] {Raven}
3 hungry decreases with age too ...
[09:07] {cosmo} oh
[09:08] {judijim} good morning all
[09:08] {Threei} jj :)
[09:09] {Threei} initial assumptions for the plays today: looking to short FNM at some point, looking for UAUA long if oil continues slide
[09:09] {cosmo} seniors should get a discount then
[09:10] {Threei} so far 6.20 is FNM's resistance
[09:10] {Raven}
3 they do at some groc stores around here
[09:10] {Raven}
3 but you have to remember to tell them that you are old
[09:11] {magoo} thats a heck of a uso spike
[09:11] {cosmo} its so hard to remember that
[09:11] {Raven}
3 I know
[09:11] {Raven}
3 so I usually strike out
[09:12] {cosmo} and pay in full...

[09:16] {fernp} Good morning all
[09:16] {Threei} fern :)
[09:19] {peterg} This is a test of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking good morning group. Now I can talk without typing
[09:19] {peterg} So I can fill the space endlessly with chatter
[09:19] {Threei} wow
[09:19] {patience} will it do your trades for you peter?
[09:19] {peterg} That's next
[09:19] {peterg} Them on to world domination
[09:20] {Threei} yeah, make sure it doesn't accidentally enters orders
[09:20] {peterg} I think I'll go back to typing is a little more relaxing
[09:20] {patience} tell it: buy patience 10,000 shares of google
[09:20] {peterg} done!
[09:21] {patience} very generous of you peter, ty :))))
[09:21] {pita} Dragon is great - I use it all the time - but not for tradong
[09:21] {peterg} there is now a version ten, mine is 9 but pretty good.
[09:21] {Threei} I resist progress.. but maybe I need to try it
[09:21] {pita} I have 9 too
[09:22] {pita} It doesn't mis-spell
[09:22] {Threei} haha
[09:22] {peterg} it is good for a lot of communication, but it can really screw up
[09:22] {Threei} don't underestimate me
[09:22] {pita} sometimes you get gibberish
[09:22] {Threei} with my prononciation it WILL misspell
[09:22] {peterg} it will force a word
[09:23] {peterg} on you.
[09:23] {GeoArb} yeah it doesnt do well with accents
[09:23] {pita} there is always Rosetta stone
[09:23] {Threei} is there trial for it?
[09:23] {pita} don't know
[09:30] {Onix} Am I still logged in?
[09:30] {Threei} yes sir
[09:30] {magoo} nope
[09:30] {peterg} maybe
[09:30] {pita} take a vote
[09:30] {Onix} tknx
[09:30] {Threei} FNM .18 short
[09:30] {Threei} if stays below .25
[09:31] {Threei} half out
[09:31] {Threei} 6.03
[09:32] {Threei} stop .21 for the second half
[09:33] {Threei} out for now
[09:36] {Threei} watching USO for loss of 91
[09:36] {Threei} if happens, UAUA should launch
[09:36] {Threei} if breaks .25, no play
[09:39] {Threei} UAUA went up in anticipation... USO still holding support
[09:39] {Threei} if you took it aggressively, take profit here
[09:40] {Threei} USO is really unclear in this range
[09:40] {Threei} if loses 91, UAUA is still a play on .50 break
[09:41] {Threei} on the other end of spectre, USO is long on .25 break
[09:41] {Threei} smaaaal shares
[09:42] {Threei} in aggresively
[09:42] {magoo} .36
[09:43] {Threei} .19 stop'

[09:51] {Threei} USO new low
[09:54] {Threei} out .65
[09:54] {GeoArb} is uso shortable for you guys?
[09:54] {Threei} .70 hit too
[09:55] {Threei} no Geo
[09:55] {GeoArb} same here
[09:55] {Threei} OK, no excuse for not profiting on UAUA here
[09:55] {Threei} clean play, no matter whether you took it aggressively or on .50 break
[09:56] {GeoArb} good call vad
[09:57] {Threei} ty
[10:01] {Onix} Thanks Vad, I got 5c + 10c + 7c & -12c
[10:01] {Threei} lemme compute
[10:02] {GeoArb} 10?
[10:02] {Threei} +10 cents I think overall
[10:02] {GeoArb} depends on scaleouts
[10:02] {Threei} but I am ready to stand corrected
[10:02] {Onix} played it 4 x
[10:02] {GeoArb} i was in late
[10:03] {GeoArb} in 55 out 79
[10:03] {GeoArb} :)

[10:05] {GeoArb} good to be pressing keys though
[10:08] {Threei} SOLR small shares long on pullback under .50
[10:09] {Threei} not going to take offer
[10:09] {Threei} under .50 or no play
[10:09] {Threei} .40 -.45 is entry idea
[10:09] {Threei} with stop under .30
[10:10] {esemde} I like that one Vad.....i'll wait with you
[10:11] {Threei} this one got away

[10:21] {Threei} Onix :)
[10:21] {magoo} half .85
[10:22] {Threei} see, my problem with it is,
[10:22] {magoo} going to 4?
[10:22] {Threei} I am confident it goes much lower
[10:22] {Threei} but it won't be any kind of straight line
[10:22] {Threei} and bounces will be very tough to handle
[10:23] {magoo} we need to try and sh the bopunce..i know ..tough but
[10:23] {Threei} so partial out is ideal way for it
[10:23] {Threei} control the risk and give it a chance
[10:25] {Threei} LEH
[10:25] {Threei} 13.99 short
[10:25] {Threei} half lot
[10:25] {Threei} stop .21 for now

[10:41] {Threei} FED'S FISHER: 'UNSURPRISED' BY THE RECENT USD REVERSAL - Q&A
[10:41] {Threei} - Also says he doesn't see US productivity on slide
[10:42] {GeoArb} economist had a semi positive report on US real estate
[10:42] {Threei} probably trailing LEH to .15 makes sense here
[10:42] {GeoArb} over the weekend
[10:43] {Threei} if it doesn't break down soon, no need to endure bigger bounce
[10:44] {Threei} TASR

[10:57] {Threei} uhhu
[10:57] {esemde} whadayathink.....Lehman Bros becomes a penny stock again.........anybody else want to predict that

[10:58] {esemde} anybody know the reasons for Buffet buying into Navidia
[10:59] {esemde} Nvidia....sorry
[11:00] {Threei} hope cruise bosses do not read that - but I am the guy who not only managed to get decently drunk during liquor tasting (with thise little timbles, no less, but also got both girls pouring samples fairly close to drunk
[11:00] {Threei} now, you see me trading from cruise ship?
[11:00] {GeoArb} lol
[11:00] {hawkfan4} :)

[11:01] {Threei} unlike us who do research in 3 milliseconds
[11:01] {Onix} sounds like you had a great time Vad! .. wtg!
[11:01] {Threei} sure did
[11:01] {Threei} Hubbard Glcier is something to see
[11:02] {Threei} all those huge chunks of ice dropping in the water with splash
[11:02] {Onix} real-time must certainly be much better than on TV
[11:03] {Threei} stunning
[11:03] {Threei} oh, and I also am the guy who came to second formal dinner in jeans, thought it was next day
[11:03] {Threei} saw all the people around in taxedos
[11:03] {Threei} asked waiter what the heck
[11:03] {Threei} shrugged and never went to change
[11:03] {GeoArb} i hate that
[11:04] {GeoArb} people scrimp around for deals
[11:04] {GeoArb} and eat in tuxedos
[11:04] {GeoArb} its a vacation.... i f i need to suit up i would go to a conference
[11:04] {Threei} I look in taxedo about as natural as hyppo under the saddle

[11:06] {Onix} you look distinguished
[11:06] {Threei} let me copy and save that
[11:07] {Threei} not often I hear anything of kind
[11:07] {GeoArb} hehe now i gotta go back and check
[11:07] {Threei} LEH, either makes double bottom here or breaks down,
[11:07] {Threei} levels are
[11:08] {Threei} for bouble bottom confirmation .88
[11:08] {Threei} for breakdown .70
[11:08] {Threei} so you have your structure for setup
[11:08] {Threei} long at .88 if holding above .72
[11:08] {Threei} or short at .72 break if staying under .90
[11:09] {Threei} both plays are half lot
[11:09] {Threei} for those who hold the balance from otiginal play, that's a new stop
[11:09] {Threei} .90
[11:09] {Threei} breakdown
[11:09] {Threei} good
[11:09] {Threei} bidding .60 for the balance
[11:10] {esemde} hmmmm thought i was gonna be stopped there
[11:11] {Onix} ss LEH @ 13.68

[11:34] {magoo} and grab last one
[11:35] {Threei} that's how Chaeron got my beer once, Geo... since then I don't see or hear very well, but developed six sense for the market direction

[11:43] {GeoArb} stop in place
[11:43] {Threei} even if uncomfortable and want out, your loss here is negligible
[11:43] {GeoArb} did 100 as uaua was an expriment before you called it
[11:46] {Threei} too much strength USO
