[09:29] {Threei}  DRYS
[09:29] {Threei}  CANCELS $400M PURCHASE OF 4 PANAMAX CARRIERS
[09:29] {Threei}  - Agreed to cancel the previously declared acquisition of four Panamax dry bulk carriers, which was announced on July 3, 2008, from companies beneficially owned by George Economou, Chairman and CEO of DryShips Inc. The aggregate purchase price of $ 400M would have represented a significant cash outflow from the Company's cash reserves given that the Company had not obtained bank financing for the acquisition.
[09:29] {Threei}  - The Audit Committee of DryShips Inc. concluded that due to the significant deterioration in the dry bulk market since the time the agreements were entered into, it would not be in the best interest of DryShips Inc. to consummate the transaction. The Company will seek to amend, wherever possible, the contracts regarding dry bulk acquisition and newbuilding commitments, potentially resulting in significant capital expenditure savings.
[09:29] {Threei}  - As part of the agreement, the selling companies will retain the deposits totaling $55M for the four vessels

[10:29] {tomg} wag vad?
[10:31] {Threei}  would like one more little pullback, bottoming out not lower than .25, then break on it, tom
[10:31] {tomg} ok, ty
[10:31] {Threei}  .30 as new support would be even better

[10:35] {Threei}  GASOLINE: +3.7M V -500KE; DISTILLATES: +5.6 V -1.5ME;
[10:37] {Geo} i guess that GG spike doesnt count vad due to oil number?
[10:39] {Threei}  most likely
[10:39] {Threei}  hard to tell really... a bit more volatility than 15 cents stop allows for
[10:39] {dino} amzn sm l .90, stop .63

[10:42] {Threei}  not sure that was right way to play it geo
[10:43] {Threei}  it violated the support, then spiked sharply into break level
[10:43] {Geo} true... i guess I am a little off
[10:43] {Threei}  I would be hesitant to buy such spike even if it didn't break support prior
[10:43] {Threei}  in such cases, let it go, wait for it to retreat and consolidate, reinforcing the support again
[10:44] {Threei}  when it shows new consolidation it becomes valid again
