[08:22] {Threei} lol... good morning
[08:22] {Threei} giant squid
[08:31] {Threei} US TREASURY RELEASES EQUITY PURCHASE PLAN
[08:32] {Threei} US FED'S BERNANKE: PRESSING FORWARD WITH COMMERCIAL PAPER PLAN
[08:32] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON URGES BANKS TO DEPLOY CAPITAL
[08:32] {Threei} I feel like I am not doing my part
06[08:33] * Threei orders economy to start fnctioning well
[08:33] {Threei} there... now I've joined the chorus
[08:33] {hawkfan4} lol, you're off the hook now
[08:37] {Threei} - US Treasury equity purchases will be up to $250B in 9 banks; expects 'thousands more'
[08:37] {Threei} - Paulson tells banks to 'deploy' capital, not 'hoard it'
[08:38] {Threei} it's not like they don't want to
[08:38] {Threei} they are just scared to death to lend without knowing what possible nightmares may hide other bank's balance sheet
[08:40] {Threei} FDIC OFFICIALLY ANNOUCES TEMPORARY LIQUIDITY GUARANTEE PROGRAM
[08:40] {hawkfan4} the market will never go down again apparently
[08:40] {Threei} nope
[08:41] {hawkfan4} amazeable
[08:43] {magoo} thoughts for today boss?
[08:43] {Threei} more of the same
[08:44] {Threei} probably not 1000 points
[08:44] {magoo} i think it will be harder because of some profit taking...any thoughts
[08:44] {Threei} maybe
[08:45] {magoo} but pullbacks i think will be deeper today than yesterday...what u think on that?
[08:45] {Threei} I don't know
[08:46] {Threei} could be, could be not
[08:46] {magoo} thhat does it right there...................
06[08:46] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:46] {Threei} ah admit it, you just wanted an excuse
[08:46] {magoo} tru dat
[08:47] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON: WE MUST GET CREDIT FLOWING AGAIN AND OVERCOME THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
[08:47] {Threei} - We regret taking these actions, they are something we never wanted to do. But the alternative is totally unacceptible.
[08:53] {magoo} vad..u think the open will be bought or sold?
[08:53] {dino} gm all
[08:53] {Threei} dino :)
[08:53] {magoo} i am just trying to tap into your experience..i know no one knows
[08:53] {Threei} my feeling is, shallow pullback, stall, then resumption of upward crawl
[08:54] {cosmo} 'totally unacceptible' may jsut be a basis for negotiation
[08:54] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:54] {magoo} nice response
[08:54] {cosmo} just
[08:54] {Threei} onix :)
[08:54] {cosmo} .... at some point

[08:55] {dino} my opinion magoo. anything can and will happen. react, don't anticipate
[08:56] {Threei} as they used to say in Soviet Union, "So what your positive answer is going to be?"
[08:56] {cosmo} k.... were's my meds...

[08:57] {ese} Tall..... Blond.....
[08:58] {cosmo} fifth of vodka?

[08:59] {Threei} vodka is not taken in fractions
[08:59] {Threei} vodka is measured in bul'bul' s
[09:00] {Threei} you know the sound it makes when you pour it?
[09:00] {cosmo} splash?
[09:00] {Threei} bottle contains 21 bul' bul'... if you divide it by three, pour 7 bul' bul's in each glass, and it's going to be fair division
[09:00] {magoo} no..but i recognize sound of chugging it lol
[09:01] {Threei} anyway, dptl knows what I am talking about
[09:01] {Threei} he will confirm when he wakes up

[11:50] {hawkfan4} just don't want to give vad that heart attack
[11:51] {Threei} don't see what to do a lesson about
[11:51] {Threei} same thing
[11:51] {Threei} the only difference is,
[11:51] {Threei} stops have to be a bit more generous
[11:51] {GeoArb} true
[11:51] {Threei} it's very effective at gunning too tightly placed stops
[11:52] {GeoArb} but its a relief watchin one instrument vs many
[11:52] {hawkfan4} stop to 1413 for the rest
[11:52] {Threei} thta's an advantage that often turns into shortcoming
[11:52] {hawkfan4} out
[11:52] {GeoArb} i guess
[11:53] {hawkfan4} it is tricky, should have scalped the whole thing and re-entered, especially on a day like today
[11:54] {dino} tricky, tricky, tricy...beastyboyz
[11:56] {hawkfan4} they reall know how to sabotage your stop placement
[11:56] {Threei} yup, standard placement or trailing just under support will get taken out 9 out of 10
[11:57] {Threei} actaully, when I traded NQ regularly, I used this pattern
[11:57] {dino} imo, in this mkt, you have to widen stops
[11:57] {Threei} breakout forms, triggers, I let it go,
[11:57] {GeoArb} stops were the reason yo stopped vad?
[11:57] {Threei} wait for snapback just under support, enter there for immediate shot back up
[11:58] {dino} shots.....mucho tequilla last week
[11:58] {Threei} you read what I say Geo? :)
[11:58] {GeoArb} yes
[11:58] {hawkfan4} back in 1411 small, wide
[11:58] {GeoArb} entry on retest
[11:58] {hawkfan4} to steal dino's phrasing
[11:59] {Threei} I'd call it entry on shakeout
[11:59] {Threei} what we did on UAUA today btw
[11:59] {GeoArb} much better term
[11:59] {Threei} have a look at blog article called
[11:59] {Threei} stops: a deeper look
[12:00] {Threei} this is one of the ideas described there
[12:00] {GeoArb} ok will do
[12:00] {Threei} {--- one of those strange creatures who actually do what they teach
[12:00] {GeoArb} so why did ya stop trading NQ?
[12:00] {GeoArb} i thought it had lower comissions and better tax treatment
[12:01] {Threei} too much hassle to run two brokers
[12:01] {Threei} tax treatment is irrelevant for me
[12:01] {GeoArb} ?
[12:01] {Threei} different in Canada
[12:01] {GeoArb} ok
[12:03] {dino} wow didn't expect that, axys sm l .20
[12:03] {dino} i was a buck under
[12:08] {magoo} LASER DCC

[12:32] {dino} iflo
[12:32] {dino} nah
[12:34] {Threei} I'll never understand how gold trades
[12:34] {Threei} with all these trillions being pumped in, you would think gold should be through the roof
[12:34] {patience} funds having to sell holdings, ppt keeping it down, waiting for u.s. dollar to turn and drop
[12:35] {patience} i like scalping gold
[12:35] {Threei} GG trades well enough for scalping
[12:36] {dino} and up it is
[12:36] {GeoArb} which instrument patience?
[12:36] {patience} i trade goldcorp, barrick, etf bullion, kinross on canadian side
