[12:42] {Threei} something?
[12:42] {Threei} like, rain dance?
[12:43] {Threei} I mean, it took them how long to agree that something must be done?
[12:44] {Threei} do you have this feeling, as if you were being led by hand through the forest, blindfolded... and suddenly found out your leader was blind?
[12:45] {hawkfan4} definitely, so sad
[12:46] {GeoArb} i heard a great quote somewhere
[12:46] {GeoArb} the efficacy of a rain dance is all based on timing it right
[12:46] {Threei} lol
[12:48] {GeoArb} rimm orderly selling
[12:53] {hawkfan4} RIMM .86, stop .49 small

[12:59] {GeoArb} mean
[12:59] {GeoArb} are dems negotiating among themselves again?
[13:02] {Threei} and we are happy why exactly?
[13:02] {hawkfan4} Boehner on tv talking about getting the deal done
[13:03] {Threei} then why are unhappy next second?
[13:04] {Threei} sorry... I know I am too curious
[13:04] {GeoArb} nice climb tdc
[13:05] {hawkfan4} sold off when he said that the republicans would not vote for a plan that uses tax money to bail out wall street, or something to that effect. Protecting the american taxpayers stuff
[13:06] {Threei} amazing... market tries to decode every word
[13:11] {Threei} IBKR
[13:11] {hawkfan4} 13:10 IBKR Interactive Brokers trading halted - news pending (20.42 )
[13:11] {Threei} HALTED: NEWS PENDING
[13:12] {Threei} hmmm

[13:12] {GeoArb} noooooooooooooo
[13:12] {GeoArb} my money sniff

[13:12] {Threei} really hope it's a buyout
[13:12] {GeoArb} nah i am good
[13:12] {Threei} hat would boost markets greatly
[13:12] {GeoArb} wayyyy beneath sipc
[13:12] {Threei} any kind of problems surfaced there will be real killer
[13:14] {Threei} if it's a good news and it opens up, AMTD and ETFC are likely sympathy plays
[13:23] {cosmo} ETFC hod = 3.47
[13:23] {cosmo} just in case...
[13:24] {hawkfan4} 13:24 IBKR Interactive Brokers announces preliminary financial estimates for the quarter, sees Q3 EPS of $0.55-0.65 vs $0.47 First Call consensus; approves share repurchase program of up to 8 mln shares (14.80 -0.47) -Update-

[13:29] {GeoArb} i tried briefing trader once and compared to briefing platinum
[13:29] {GeoArb} trader is a few mins faster... i thought that wasnt right
[13:29] {cosmo} platinum plans arnt what they used to be
[13:30] {GeoArb} heh
[13:30] {GeoArb} still halted
[13:32] {Threei} my guess is, there was so little reason to halt it in a forst place, they just forgot to unhalt it now
[13:32] {GeoArb} lol

[14:17] {Threei} WB active
[14:20] {Chaeron} .35 long?
[14:21] {Threei} nah
[14:21] {Threei} I'd prefer pullback
[14:22] {Threei} deeper selloff and entry for bounce
[14:34] {GeoArb} not again
[14:35] {GeoArb} YHOO Ticking higher on takeover chatter circulating (related TWX )
[14:36] {GeoArb} YHOO Ticking higher on takeover chatter circulating (related TWX )
[14:36] {GeoArb} YHOO Ticking higher on takeover chatter circulating again
[14:36] {GeoArb} - Venturebeat.com reports MSFT may seek to buy a combined Yahoo and AOL if Yahoo absorbs AOL (related TWX )
[14:36] {GeoArb} sorry
[14:52] {Threei} here comes deeper selling on WB
[14:58] {Threei} somweone should tell Moddy that WM is no more
[14:58] {Threei} they ay stop rating them
[15:03] {Threei} maybe little but still consolation: just imagine how active Monady is going to be
[15:03] {GeoArb} vad... tell us a joke pls
[15:03] {Threei} huh?
[15:03] {GeoArb} then i know i am still connected in the room
[15:03] {GeoArb} :)
[15:03] {Threei} I don't even know what that word means
[15:04] {Threei} WB
[15:04] {GeoArb} wrd
[15:04] {Threei} new low is likely
[15:04] {Threei} and oanic selloff
[15:04] {Threei} panic too
[15:06] {Threei} here we go
[15:07] {GeoArb} so ummm how does this happen without short selling
[15:07] {Threei} one more leg down
[15:07] {Threei} desirably under 8
[15:09] {magoo} u in?
[15:10] {Threei} this is not a play that can be called in time
[15:10] {Threei} trades too fast
[15:11] {Threei} you get a feel for a bounce or stay away
[15:13] {Threei} all I can do on this kind is to give a general idea of a play
[15:14] {magoo} yup
[15:15] {Threei} the way WB trades makes you think it's being perceived as next WM
[15:15] {Threei} peter... did I spell that one right?
[15:16] {Threei} hey, look who popped up:
[15:16] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN: URGING IMMEDIATE ACTION ON FINANCIAL TURMOIL, ASSET PURCHASES DO IN ACTUALITY WORK, GOVT ONLY SOLUTION TO PROBLEM

[15:17] {GeoArb} the list to go belly up?
[15:17] {Threei} pretty much
[15:18] {GeoArb} maaan i want so good miso ramen right now
[15:18] {GeoArb} sudden urge
[15:18] {Threei} isn't the way they trade over last week the best proof that shorts do not cause downward pressure
[15:18] {GeoArb} oil basing on high
[15:19] {Threei} can't believe they stoop that low to show public that they do something
[15:19] {Threei} because it's impossible for me to believe that they don't understand market mechanics to such degree
[15:20] {GeoArb} have you met em vaD?
[15:20] {GeoArb} internet is a series of tubes
[15:20] {Threei} what does internet have to do with it?
