[09:23] {Threei} [12:23] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO EU: RUSSIA IS "TOO CIVILIZED" TO CUT OFF ENERGY SUPPLIES TO THE EU
[09:23] {Threei} [12:24] {Threei} let's remember this 'too civilized"
[09:23] {Threei} [12:24] {Threei} my prediction is, come winter we will have a few occasions to return to this sentence
[09:23] {Threei} The Telegraph newspaper reported that Russia may cut off oil flow to Western Europe over the coming days, in response to the threat of E.U. sanctions and NATO naval actions in the Black Sea. "Reports have begun to circulate in Moscow that Russian oil companies are under orders from the Kremlin to prepare for a supply cut to Germany and Poland through the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline," wrote Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. "It is believed that executives from lead-producer LUKoil have been put on weekend alert."

[09:28] {Threei} this is highly liquid situation, it changes with every new forecast...
[09:28] {Threei} or observation

[09:31] {esemde} ENER...
[09:31] {Threei} my idea was to grab a pullback, not to chase CLNE after the bounce
[09:32] {Threei} it jumped off 17 faster than I could type, even without numbers
[09:32] {Threei} let's wait for new consolidation and break of 17.25 if consolidation's tight enough
[09:35] {Threei} bidding 16.95 or taking break of 17.10

[11:07] {Threei} oh great
[11:08] {Threei} not sure yet mags
[11:09] {Threei} kind of 50/50 here
[11:10] {Threei} bounce for a scalp looks too obvious off 17
[11:10] {Threei} I suspect it's going to break down
[11:10] {Threei} shake out those who go for obvious
[11:10] {Threei} then jump back up
[11:11] {Threei} look for something like .80 - .90 range for entry
[11:11] {Threei} there you go
[11:11] {Threei} half lot
[11:11] {Threei} in
[11:11] {Threei} .80, stop under .70
[11:11] {Threei} just a scalp
[11:14] {Threei} I guess I oversat it
[11:14] {Threei} wanted a spike back over 17
[11:14] {Threei} either double bottom here or stop
[11:17] {Threei} yawn
[11:17] {Threei} do something CLNE
[11:18] {Threei} you all asleep?
[11:18] {patience} yes
[11:18] {Threei} okay
[11:18] {Threei} I'll stop talk loud
[11:19] {Threei} (whispering) how about that forecast of 17 breakdown?
[11:19] {Threei} out
[11:20] {magoo} stopped clne
[11:20] {magoo} regret my smackdwn now
[11:25] {Threei} USO is snapback time probably
[11:25] {Threei} watching UAUA for short
[11:26] {Threei} no technicals for the play, just need sharp USO green bar
[11:32] {Threei} getting ready
[11:32] {Threei} if this is double bottom for USO, UAUA should be done
[11:32] {Threei} didn't reach its previous high as USO made new low
[11:36] {Threei} no double bottom so far
[11:38] {dino} .
[11:39] {Threei} good point
[11:40] {Threei} did they cancel hurricane?
[11:40] {Threei} look how UAUA is unable to move up on USO drops anymore
[11:40] {magoo} nothing makes sense anymore
[11:41] {Threei} just need reversal on that slimy environemntally unfriendly liquid
[11:43] {Threei} ok, .75 is closest resistance UAUA for stop placement
[11:43] {Threei} short here
[11:44] {Threei} .65 in
[11:44] {Threei} gotta try it
[11:44] {Threei} shhesh... what's killing oil?
[11:44] {Threei} out UAUA
[11:45] {dino} what happened, hurricane fizzle out
[11:45] {Threei} I guess
[11:45] {Threei} all I see is
[11:45] {Threei} (VZ) VENEZUELAN FIN MIN: PROJECTS 2008 GDP GROWTH AT 6.7%, SPECULATION DRIVING OIL PRICES
[11:45] {Threei} {USO}
[11:45] {Threei} and that's bs
[11:46] {Threei} who cares what that guy thinks
[11:47] {hawkfan4} man, i just covered my oil future short at 116.20 just b4 the giant drop. it's been that kind of week
[11:48] {Threei} that's unreadable hawk
[11:48] {Threei} don't feel bad
[11:48] {Threei} there is no way to see this coming
[11:48] {hawkfan4} i know, but the extra 4k would've been nice :) i thought it was reversing
[11:52] {Threei} what a reversal CLNE
[11:52] {Threei} why didn't we short it lol
[11:52] {Threei} just kidding... never saw clean short setup
[11:52] {Threei} other than 17 break but that was very iffy
[11:52] {dino} stopped cme -1.40 100
[11:52] {Threei} looks readable in retrospect only
[11:53] {Threei} at the moment it was much more like shakout with immediate snapback

[14:49] {Threei} looking at USO daily,
[14:49] {Threei} I can't imagine such harsh selloffs for something that is going to go up
[14:49] {Threei} IMO, unless something happens, this thing is bound to continue daowntrend
[14:50] {Threei} and it's hard to imagine what that "something" could be
[14:50] {Threei} Gerogia war didn't propel it,
[14:51] {Threei} neither did unrest in Pakistan,
[14:51] {Threei} hurricanes is bs, IMO
[14:52] {Threei} (as an reason for oil to go up that is)
[14:52] {dino} well today it was bs
[14:55] {magoo} vad, power upward into bell iyo?
[14:56] {Threei} truly no idea

[14:56] {Threei} another one bites the dust
[14:58] {Threei} I mean, it's just a lame excuse, dino... hurricanes were there always
[14:58] {Threei} oil never reacted on them really until this whole price runup started
[14:59] {dino} i agree
[14:59] {dino} and today not acting on them either

[09:55] {esemde} PTEN pullback to deep.....invalidated for me
[09:56] {Threei} RMBS was still worth it I guess
[09:56] {esemde} RMBS....waiting for pull back
[09:57] {esemde} if it goes through 18 Vad is should go a little
[09:57] {Threei} probably... serious resistance to break
[09:58] {Threei} in more determined market I would be all over such break
[09:58] {esemde} damn......missed it...didn't get the order in fast enough
[09:58] {Threei} don't chase
[09:58] {Threei} pullback or no play
[09:59] {esemde} indeed
[09:59] {Threei} CLNE
[09:59] {Threei} this thing looks seriously determined
[10:00] {esemde} i'll say
[10:01] {Threei} if you believe in Pickens... half lot long .25
[10:02] {Threei} stop under .10 or under 16, both are valid
[10:03] {dino} amr stopped .95 +.05 not moving
[10:03] {Onix} in CLNE @ .25
[10:03] {Threei} CSUN?
[10:04] {Threei} what's up with that dog

[10:05] {Threei} volatility is a problem on it thouigh
[10:05] {Threei} can breathe hard as magoo says
[10:05] {magoo} ill stiop it
[10:05] {magoo} long .30
[10:05] {esemde} AMLN still heading down...gotta be gettingg close to your territory dino
[10:05] {Threei} lol
[10:05] {Threei} only combined power of you and chaeron can stop Pickens, magoo
[10:06] {magoo} oh..well hes not in yet..
[10:06] {Threei} that's your chance
[10:06] {magoo} my only hope
06[10:06] * Threei kicks CLNE in the rear... move fast while chaeron isn't here!
[10:07] {Threei} hey, that was a good kick
[10:07] {magoo} keep doing it
[10:07] {magoo} hurry..i hear chaer
[10:07] {dino} es, problem is deaths associated w/it, could just die itself
[10:07] {dptl} +.20 clne ty
[10:07] {Threei} dp :)
[10:07] {dino} hitting 2 year lows
[10:07] {dino} gj dp
[10:07] {esemde} gotcha.....
[10:08] {dino} lets find crazy moves w/no news
[10:08] {Threei} great spot on a short side ese
[10:08] {dino} patience my friend
[10:08] {Threei} AMLN that is
[10:09] {Threei} guys, CLNE is both good mover and hard breather
[10:09] {Threei} control your risk and manage the trade
[10:09] {Threei} partial out
[10:09] {Threei} protect half of profit
[10:09] {Threei} unless you are hard core scalper that is
[10:09] {Threei} then you are out here
[10:11] {Onix} ty Vad, got .24 on my 100 shares in CLNE
[10:12] {Threei} :)
[10:12] {Threei} got any leftovers?
[10:12] {peterg} learning limit orders, chased CLNE up & missed the ride. Sniff.
[10:13] {Threei} how do you route your limit entry?
[10:13] {Threei} at the offer price of the moment?
[10:13] {peterg} looks like island
[10:13] {Threei} right, I mean price
[10:14] {peterg} i hit a price on the level two chart; it appears in the limit price box
[10:14] {Threei} OK, adjust it a little bit:
[10:14] {peterg} i try to buy on the cheap
[10:14] {Threei} if your entry is .25
[10:14] {Threei} set a limit .27 - .28
[10:14] {Threei} and hit buy when .25 starts scrolling
[10:15] {Threei} this is a good comprmise between market order that could get you in too high
[10:15] {Threei} and too tight limit that can miss a play altogether
[10:15] {dino} chtt
[10:16] {GeoArb} or depending on your broker.... yo migh have a smartorder
[10:16] {dptl} and watch time and sales window peter:)
[10:16] {dino} sh 8t can't borrow
[10:16] {GeoArb} you can choose a 3 cent leeway
[10:16] {Threei} couple cents is usually immaterial
[10:16] {Threei} and if there are enough shares at your .25 you'll get it anyway
[10:16] {Threei} also,
[10:17] {Threei} make sure you have Route Out checked
[10:17] {Threei} this will garantee that your ISLD hits all others too
[10:17] {peterg} thks team
[10:18] {peterg} where is Route Out check pls?
[10:19] {Threei} right click on Level 2,
[10:19] {Threei} settings window will pop up,
[10:19] {peterg} got it
[10:19] {Threei} look in the right column, roughly middle section

[10:28] {Threei} held 5 yesterday and today
[10:28] {Onix} in CLNE @ .51
[10:29] {Threei} I guess can be qualified as pullback buy with stop under 5, but don't expect quick resolution from it
[10:29] {Threei} not likely to be a day trade
[10:29] {esemde} yup....am considering a swing trade on this one.....

[12:23] {magoo} shit forgot i still had clne
[12:23] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO EU: RUSSIA IS "TOO CIVILIZED" TO CUT OFF ENERGY SUPPLIES TO THE EU
[12:23] {Threei} - Notes that punitive steps by the EU against Russia would fail.
[12:24] {Threei} let's remember this 'too civilized"
[12:24] {Threei} my prediction is, come winter we will have a few occasions to return to this sentence
[12:25] {Onix} you expecting bigger trouble over there Vad?
[12:25] {Threei} can't see how they could be avoidable
[12:26] {dino} didn't they cut off gas to germany for a few days last year
[12:26] {dino} makes for a cold winter
[12:27] {Threei} and consider that pipes go via Ukraine
[12:27] {Threei} so it makes it easy to cut off gas to Ukraine, using real or fake price dispute
[12:27] {Threei} forcing Ukraine to start siphoning gas off those pipes
[12:27] {Threei} and making it a bad guy
[12:27] {dino} indeed
[12:28] {dino} may you live in interesting times
[12:28] {magoo} u should have stayed there..joined communist party..and aspired to be sec of treasurery
[12:29] {Threei} why am I not delighted by the perspective

[12:35] {Threei} look at volume
06[12:35] * laserdave1 slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout

[12:37] {Threei} just very low overall
[12:37] {dino} stop lod=low of day
[12:37] {peterg} tks
[12:37] {Threei} so "fire" is a bit too loud
[12:38] {Threei} smouldering is more like it

Aug 26 2008

Session Time: Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 2008
[08:01] {Threei} NVAX
[08:01] {Threei} ANNOUNCES FAVORABLE RESULTS FROM PHASE I/IIA PANDEMIC INFLUENZA VACCINE PROGRAM
[08:02] {Threei} 08/26/08 06:33am
[08:02] {Threei} (RU) Russia reportedly now halting visits by NATO officials as well as joint exercises for at least several months
[08:02] {Threei} - May halt peacekeeping cooperation with NATO for at least six months
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia notes it does not intend to stop cooperating with NATO in Afghanistan for now, but remains under review
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia cancels NATO chief's visit
[08:03] {Threei} 08/26/08 04:10am
[08:03] {Threei} Iran OPEC Governor: Market is not balanced, there is oversupply
[08:03] {Threei} * Note that comments are in line with prior comments
[08:03] {Threei} - Group members favor balanced market
[08:12] {Threei} 08/25/08 11:38pm
[08:12] {Threei} (US) Treasury Secretary Paulson: The proposed GSE rescue package will be used as a last resort, will be used to protect the taxpayer - NYT
[08:12] {Threei} - We will be dealing with the housing issue in one way or another for months, maybe years after he leaves office.
[08:12] {Threei} - The biggest part of the crisis will be largely over by year's end.
[08:15] {Threei} OIL PRICE OUTLOOK: THERE ARE THREE GOOD REASONS TO THINK THAT IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR AN OIL PRICE COLLAPSE - EDWARD HADAS AT BUSINESSSPECTATOR
[08:15] {Threei} - "First, demand is still strong. Despite high prices and slowing world growth, the IEA still expects a 1.1% increase in consumption in 2008."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Second, supply seems to be under the suppliers' control. The Saudis, who remain swing producers, have implied they will defend a triple-digit oil price. So far, it looks like they can."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Finally, money is available to pay the current high price. Real interest rates are still negative in most of the world. For most governments in developing countries, growth remains a higher priority than inflation-fighting. True, oil subsidies are slowly being cut. But the credit crunch hasn’t squeezed sufficiently tightly to close oil-buyers’ wallets."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Eventually, the oil price will fall back to, or below, the marginal cost of production, perhaps $50-70 a barrel. But probably not until money is a lot tighter and the global economy is in a lot more trouble.
[08:29] {Threei} FRE
[08:29] {Threei} REPORTS JULY ANNUALIZED GROWTH RATE +9.8%
[08:48] {Threei} SATC

[08:48] {Threei} - CE Solar, the project development arm of Energy 21, will deliver and maintain the solar PV plants beginning in October 2008 with completion in spring 2009.

[08:15] {Threei} Financials: According to Heard on the Street some US investment bankers are bearish on the second half of 2008 - WSJ
[08:15] {Threei} - There are some concerns among bankers that the outlook has deteriorated further. The focus for investors remains on the damage caused by mortgage-backed securities, but investors are also looking at other areas such as commercial real estate and higher-grade residential mortgages.
[08:15] {Threei} - The article adds that continued credit-market weakness is likely to force further write-downs in Q3.
[08:16] {Threei} - WSJ believes that Lehman and Merrill are the most vulnerable to an industry slowdown.
[08:16] {Threei} - Consolidation in the investment banking sector could leave the industry with about six major full-service players.
[08:16] {Threei} - With respect to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the WSJ notes that Freddie Macs preferred shares already trade at less than half of their issue price and that suggests no preferential treatment if the government ends up bailing out the mortgage GSEs.

[09:07] {Threei} [LEH] Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc Summary: The latest on the potential Lehman/Korea Development Bank deal
[09:07] {Threei} - The London Times reports that the Korea Development Bank (KDB) has refused to rule out bidding for Lehman Brothers, but has hinted that any approach would not be imminent. In an interview over the weekend, KDB sought to play down an earlier statement in which it had said that it was open to an approach on the bank. "We are just at an early stage of privatization, and we are weak at investment banking by international standards. In the long term, we should strengthen that weakness," said a representative of KDB.
[09:07] {esemde} morning
[09:08] {Threei} ese :)
[09:08] {esemde} how the mighty fall.....
[09:08] {Threei} with thunder?
[09:10] {Threei} oh wake up.... this is my first attempt at humor, I need little encouragement on Monday morning
[09:10] {Threei} eyelids are too heavy
[09:11] {Onix} they fell ... "splat!"
[09:12] {Threei} like USO
[09:13] {Threei} watching UAUA reaction
[09:13] {Threei} working assumption so far is,
[09:13] {Onix} CNBC talking about second wave of credit crunch
[09:13] {Threei} uncoupling between USO and UAUA started, with negative bias for UAUA
[09:13] {Threei} we saw lat week how it weakened despite USO drop
[09:14] {Threei} so either it starts traading on its own and we have no leading indicator for it anymore,
[09:14] {Threei} or it drops with USO strength while not really goes up with USO weakness
[09:15] {Threei} Third option is, that day was a fluke, and corellation is intact
[09:15] {Threei} will see
[09:16] {dino} gm all
[09:16] {Threei} dino :)

[09:22] {Threei} as much as premarket chart can be trusted, LEH is short under .64 with stop above .80
[09:22] {Threei} opening tends to be supervolastile for it
[09:24] {cosmo} GILT seems to hold 7.50 ..so far fwiw
[09:25] {magoo} what, laser was getting magoos share of slaps?he he
[09:25] {Threei} oh, he has enough on his own... he just didn't have you to reciprocate

[09:26] {Onix} yes thanks, got iscan email
[09:26] {Threei} :)
[09:27] {Threei} FNM, 4.50 breakdown is tempting short
[09:27] {Threei} maybe good idea to skip first minutes and let market exhaust it's opening volatility
[09:28] {Threei} hard to tell... dying days of August
[09:28] {GeoArb} anyone in LEH?
[09:28] {cosmo} dying?
[09:29] {Threei} if you are in, keep stop above .80 religiously and look for fast spike down to cover, Geo

[09:59] {GeoArb} i made an interesting mistake in LEh.... was modifying my stop and sent it at current price hehehehe
[09:59] {GeoArb} -93
[09:59] {Threei} why do you need hard stop on such a trade?
[10:00] {GeoArb} was a mistake...

[10:01] {GeoArb} economist had an article on some numbers looking better
[10:01] {Threei} I mean, you are right here, it's a fast trade likely to resolve in minutes if not seconds
[10:01] {Threei} why mess with software instead of keeping manual stop
[10:01] {GeoArb} i had to ummm.. take a break :)
[10:02] {Threei} - July Median Existing Home Price: -7.1% y/y to $212K from $215K{XHB }

[10:05] {dino} cedc stopped -.34
[10:05] {esemde} CPSL has a good looking Daily also vad
[10:06] {Threei}
Consider Buying:
1,8 USO small shares above .15 if holding 93
[10:06] {esemde} was that a factor in buying
[10:06] {Threei} certainly
[10:06] {Threei} .15 was a break on daily
[10:06] {esemde} nice
[10:06] {Threei} 5.14 high from 08/15
[10:09] {esemde} NVDA has that look on it's 15min chart......
[10:09] {Threei} USO invalidated
[10:09] {Threei} don't see much enthusiasm on UAUA though
[10:09] {Threei} old times it would have spiked on such USO drop
[10:10] {Threei} trying now
[10:11] {Threei} still observing it, not sure it's playable

[10:38] {GeoArb} wow what a drop
[10:38] {Threei} that was fast
[10:39] {Threei} don't chase it down, try to offer into bounce
[10:39] {Threei} in .18
[10:39] {Threei} .41 stop
[10:39] {Threei} needs to lose .20 for a nice continuation
[10:40] {Threei} sorry, in .28
[10:40] {GeoArb} vad i am confused....
[10:40] {GeoArb} thanks

[14:30] {Onix} Vad, your opinion please on trading Nasdaq stocks vs listed stocks?
[14:31] {Threei} not much difference anymore
[14:31] {Threei} used to be big difference
[14:31] {Threei} now that listeds are populated withECNs mostly, same thing
[14:31] {magoo} read on LDK vad?
[14:31] {Onix} ty
[14:32] {Threei} set routing to ISLD, make sure you have route out checked, you will bet practically same wxecutions
[14:32] {Threei} I don't have read on it mags, sorry
[14:32] {Threei} listless chart
[14:32] {Onix} ty
[14:33] {dino} onix, i play them, just notice more slippage of hard stops

[14:34] {dino} y
[14:34] {peterg} tks
[14:34] {Threei} what your stops are routed through dino?
[14:34] {Threei} if you can see that
[14:35] {dino} smartes/schwab cyber
[14:36] {Threei} do you have an option to switch to particular route instead of smart?
[14:36] {dino} not for shorts
[14:37] {Threei} OK... probably that's why, smart routes are a bit less efficient
[14:37] {dino} overall, works fine, just listed i manually hit
[14:38] {Threei} yup... and most likely no noticeable difference on NASDAQ
[14:38] {Threei} between manual and hard I mean
[14:39] {dino} correct
[14:46] {peterg} etymological derivation of "hard" for this usage, pls?
[14:46] {peterg} fingers are soft?
[14:47] {Threei} hardwired vs mental?
[14:47] {dino} when i say hadr stop, i mean it is entered
[14:47] {peterg} I get that, i am asking philosophical question.
[14:47] {peterg} historical type
[14:47] {Threei} dino... he thinks we can read, you see
[14:48] {peterg} how does this linquistic usage arise?
[14:48] {dino} i'm lost
[14:48] {peterg} who started saying hard stop?
[14:48] {peterg} you, dino?
[14:48] {dino} books and traders years ago
[14:48] {Threei} no, that's common definition
[14:49] {peterg} that would qualify as source, but we don't know what the appeal of "hard" was
[14:49] {peterg} ill shutup
[14:50] {Threei} lol
[14:50] {dino} remember peter, i try not to think, rather react
[14:50] {Threei} I pretend that I try not to think... in rality it comes quite naturally tome
[14:50] {peterg} good point
[14:50] {Threei} just like bad typing
[14:51] {peterg} I tried watching mkt this am with music on headphones.
[14:51] {peterg} it seemed good.
[14:51] {peterg} jj cale
[14:51] {Threei} trading require depth of thinking of "tree good, fire bad" kind
[14:51] {Threei} requires
[14:51] {dino} magoo and i het the music at 9:30 am, all day, cnbc on mute, or sports on....
[14:51] {dino} the news w/mess w/your trades imo
[14:52] {dino} hit the music
[14:52] {Threei} I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway... if CNBC on mute, why on at all?
[14:52] {dino} lol, right now vh1
[14:53] {dino} think about it, all pre-market cnbc talking heads were we are out of the abys
[14:53] {dino} that will screw you up
[14:54] {peterg} news business is fear business
[14:54] {dino} who knows or cares if the "lows" are in, we had a 250 point down move and they had you loading up
[14:54] {Threei} qhwen the next stage of credit crunch, bank write-offs and bankruptsies comes, taking market much lower... how are those optimists going to justify their cheerleading?
[14:54] {dino} so.....put the music on when trading
[14:55] {peterg} I likes it
[14:57] {Threei} I am not in the end of the world camp, we will bottom out and have a very nice rally
[14:57] {Threei} but we are not there yet
[14:57] {peterg} Is Bill Cara still strong on holding bullion?
[14:58] {Threei} I don't really track gold-related topics
[14:58] {dino} dk
[14:58] {Threei} if I remember correct, he was no jazzed about it for now
[14:58] {dino} and yes vad, this too will pass
[14:59] {Threei} yeah... this time
[14:59] {Threei} but honestly,
[14:59] {Threei} policies must change
[14:59] {peterg} what policies
[14:59] {Threei} USA flirts with financial disaster too close for comfort
[14:59] {dino} but in the keep it simple dino plan.....do not listen to them when trading, get in "your" own zone
[15:00] {Threei} policies regarding credit, derivatives, spending
[15:00] {peterg} if we be goin down, let us be goin down tradin
[15:00] {peterg} ya yua ya live for today
[15:00] {Threei} deepening dept, free-for-all money printing
[15:00] {peterg} of course on serious note your right
[15:00] {peterg} time for serenity prayer
[15:01] {Threei} in Seinfield speak, Serenity NOW!!!
[15:01] {dino} none of it matters, just trade
[15:01] {peterg} here here to all
[15:01] {dino} they will do what they do
[15:02] {peterg} yep
[15:05] {Threei} here is an illustration to what dino says
[15:06] {Threei} had I not had this negative bias on financials, we would probably go long LEH and FNM at some point
[15:07] {Threei} [15:01] {dino} none of it matters, just trade {--- truer words were never spoken
[15:07] {dino} see, those are too crowded for my "way". too much thinking w/them
[15:07] {dino} i prefer the idiot set-ups
[15:08] {dino} watching wynn
[15:24] {Threei} if NQ finally breaks down, BRCM short for a scalp
[15:24] {Threei} bounced a bit on dropping volume, forming bear flag
[15:25] {Threei} closest resistance is.25
[15:28] {Onix} BRCM ss @ 26.09 if NQ drops?
[15:28] {Threei} no, I wouldn't chase it there
[15:28] {Threei} rather looking for a situation where NQ drops while BRCM gives little delay
[15:28] {Threei} so we can short it closer to resistance
[15:28] {Threei} keeps stop tighter
[15:29] {Onix} ok ty
[15:32] {Threei} looks like break's coming
[15:32] {Threei} in
[15:32] {Threei} .26 stop
[15:32] {Onix} in @ .19
[15:40] {Threei} quite boring day
[15:40] {Threei} happens often on Mondays, let's hope market wakes up tomorrow
[15:43] {Threei} http://realitytrader.com/vad/Mondays-Suck-Video.wmv
[15:44] {dino} ok i was a bit early on my 80 extra points
[15:44] {dino} 40 to go

[15:56] {Threei} morning was also not as active as last week
[15:58] {dino} most likely this way all week, reminds me of friday
[15:58] {Threei} could be, last week of August
[15:58] {Threei} long weekend looming
[15:59] {Threei} anyway... we will take what we can find and wait patiently for more
[15:59] {Threei} OK guys, thank you all
[15:59] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow

[08:07] {Threei} - Fed Chairman Bernanke does not have a "magic wand" for solving the problems of the US economy.
[08:07] {Threei} - Berkshire has no bets against the USD or any direct currency plays, believes USD strength will not last if current account deficits continue, yet does not see the USD falling in the short term
[08:07] {Threei} - Repeats that there is a "reasonable chance" shares in the GSEs will be wiped out

[08:16] {Threei} with so much turbulence in various areas, market once again proved that the only constant thing about it is a constant change

[08:39] {Threei} - The two companies will delay output of NAND chips due to weak pricing trends.
[08:39] {Threei} - On 5/4, Intel said that it expected the Singapore plant to delay output by 6 months and the jv had expected that output would begin by mid 2009.
[08:40] {Threei} I think this INTC gap is simply market gap

[10:17] {Threei} - Remarks the the economy is softening and the unemployment rate is rising
[10:17] {Threei} - Feels as thought the Treasury is best suited to handle non-bank failures, and countervailing actions are needed to address the moral hazard issue

[13:41] {Threei} I suppose that's why he he is off today... taking care of the matter
[13:48] {dino} yes
[13:48] {dino} most likely you'll see the uptick rule back, imo
[13:50] {Threei} that'll be stupid of them but whatever
[13:51] {Threei} they canned it when, about couple years ago?
[13:51] {Threei} never saw it impacting market direction
[13:51] {dino} last summer i think
[13:51] {Threei} a year then
[13:52] {Threei} and we had some stunning rallies, even thoughshorting became easier
[13:52] {Threei} it's unlimited naked shorting they should be concerned about IMO
[13:52] {Threei} as long as borrowing rules are observed, no reason for concern
[13:53] {Threei} oil another drop
[13:55] {dino} i don't know 3i, perhaps you should let the naked people short, what do cloths have to do w/stocks
[13:55] {dino} those nudist retreats will be hit hard
[13:55] {Threei} you actually make a very good sense
[13:56] {Threei} (as long as they, naked shorters, don't have webcams and I am not forced to watch
[13:57] {Chaeron} isn't it everyone that would see YOU should be scared?

[08:19] {Threei} 07:23am [LEH] Price Target lowered to $28 from $45 at Bernstein; Maintains market perform rating
[08:19] {Threei} [LEH] Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc Reportedly Goldman cuts earnings estimates for brokerage firms (timing uncertain)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts JPM Q3 EPS estimate to $0.40 from $0.64 (consensus estimate is $0.51e)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts LEH 2008 EPS estimate to -$9.65 from -$2.10 (consensus estimate is -$3.17e)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts MS Q3 EPS estimate to $0.85 from $1.10 (consensus estimate is $0.88e)
[08:20] {Threei} these GS cuts from yesterday after hours
[08:21] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:21] {Threei} good morning :)
[08:21] {Threei} may I make little confession?
[08:21] {hawkfan4} yes
[08:22] {Threei} couldn't resist and took LEH short on the close,
[08:22] {Threei} then saw afterhours drop and covered 12.60
[08:22] {Threei} glad I did both, lol
[08:23] {hawkfan4} :) nice. i took it too, but only covered a part after hours at .65. was hoping for a big morning drop
[08:23] {Threei} haha... I knew it
[08:24] {Threei} not sure why it's floating still this morning, the wight on its ankles is enormous
[08:24] {Threei} weight
[08:24] {Threei} but financials behaved against all logic way too opften over last months
[08:25] {Threei} and I am trained to see "against the logic" behavior as an opportunity to go against the crowd that follows obvious
[08:25] {Threei} so I am torn here
[08:25] {hawkfan4} yeah , i was just thinking about that too. hard to imagine it wants to rally, but hmmm
[08:25] {Threei} can't see LEH, FNM etc as long
[08:26] {Threei} and can't stay short against all my conditioning

[08:31] {Threei} when zI went to Costco to replenish the content of the fridge after vacation, saw interesting thing
[08:32] {Threei} big solar panel
[08:32] {Threei} $299
[08:32] {Threei} tried to remember its parameters to look up what it can do
[08:33] {Threei} but managed to remember them just long enough to forget before I got to the pen and paper
[08:33] {cosmo} 15W prolly..
[08:33] {hawkfan4} interesting, i have to hut costco soon, i'll look for it.
[08:33] {Threei} expected for a while these things to start appearing on a consumer level and becoming more and more useful and cost-effective
[08:34] {Threei} please let me know hawk, I don't expect myself to be there for couple of weeks
[08:34] {Threei} signage on the box said,
[08:34] {hawkfan4} i will
[08:34] {Threei} can provide backup power in case of outage
[08:35] {Threei} charge a lot of portable devices
[08:35] {Threei} in both 12 or 110 V
[08:35] {Threei} umm... in either

[08:44] {cosmo} or its close..
[08:44] {Threei} I had an impression there were three panels, not four
[08:44] {Threei} but can be mistaklen
[08:44] {Threei} afrter all, I was there after food, empty fridge etc, hard to focus
[08:44] {Threei} 60W
[08:44] {Threei} fairly decent, no?

[09:54] {magoo} me too
[09:57] {Threei} pains me to say... but LEH starts looking like long
[09:57] {Threei} if holding above 13
[09:57] {Threei} hard to pick entry, not much to indicate it
[09:57] {Threei} if you like, just grab it here

[09:59] {Threei} LEH went to 1:2 in a hurry from .10 entry
[10:00] {Threei} feels not done yet
[10:00] {Threei} don't chase if you haven't taken it close to 13
[10:00] {Threei} it's a day for safe entries with tight stops
[10:03] {magoo} leh bounce entry vad?
[10:03] {Threei} late
[10:03] {Threei} impossible to call in time
[10:03] {magoo} as i typed it was .90

[10:40] {GeoArb} cant just do scanner.....news matters
[10:41] {Threei} well, oil numbers propped a move
[10:41] {GeoArb} yup
[10:41] {Threei} and UAUA is oil-dependent mover
[10:41] {GeoArb} i was thinking if i wasnt in this room i would be short hehehehe
[10:41] {GeoArb} but then i wouldnt have a scanner !
[10:42] {Threei} rofl
[10:42] {GeoArb} lol
[10:42] {tomg} Geo, you talking about mm box on LII in Laser?
[10:42] {GeoArb} no my broker

[10:42] {tomg} ah, ok

[10:47] {Threei} not sure I have a call on it at this moment
[10:47] {Threei} mentioning it for thiose of you who see it as a play
[10:49] {GeoArb} vad i am curious..
[10:49] {GeoArb} any reason you dont play gap fill/ gap and go setups?
[10:50] {Threei} I like them
[10:50] {Threei} I just don't actively scan for them
[10:50] {GeoArb} do you scan for them?
[10:50] {GeoArb} hhe
[10:50] {Onix} missed on VPHM
[10:50] {Threei} simply no room for more scans I guess :)
[10:50] {GeoArb} yeah
[10:50] {Threei} but if I stumble onto one of those while surfing, I do like them
[10:50] {Threei} if you scan for them, feel free to share
[10:51] {esemde} you have alot of screens Vad...what is your favorite
[10:51] {GeoArb} i am developing a scan bt would off course need your guidance on how to play em
[10:51] {GeoArb} i like gap and go better than gap fill
[10:51] {Threei} I don't have favorite really ese
[10:52] {esemde} if you had to choose...which one would it be
[10:52] {Threei} hmmm
[10:52] {esemde} putting you on the spot i know
[10:52] {Threei} it changes with market///
[10:52] {Threei} some work better in one type of market, some are in another

[11:10] {tomg} just one more thing before i go....i want to apologize to laserdave in front of the whole group....i posted negative comments about him a while back.......when he was trying his best to help me
[11:10] {tomg} i was panicking and took it the wrong way
[11:10] {dptl} stop under .39 pdli
[11:11] {tomg} maybe you want to edit this out, vad, but i never will feel right until i get it said that i'm sincerely sorry
[11:11] {Threei} who is laserdave?
[11:11] {tomg} man :)
[11:11] {Threei} :)
[11:11] {Threei} I notice him when he is here and I am in the truot-slapping mood
[11:11] {Threei} (which I always am)
[11:12] {tomg} i apologized to him personally, of course
[11:12] {Threei} I think it's all long forgotten tom
[11:12] {Threei} little trout between friends, whatever
[11:12] {tomg} thanks, vad :)

[11:28] {magoo} vad, kinda looking for pullback short scalps here
[11:32] {Threei} pretty much USO dependent mags
[11:32] {Threei} if it continues down, market is likely to continue climbing
[11:39] {magoo} ok, just a thought
[11:47] {Threei} aimless wandering
[12:03] {Threei} SOLF is still climbing... can't bring myself to play it

Aug 19 2008

Session Time: Tue Aug 19 00:00:00 2008

[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

[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'
[09:43] {Threei} die USO
[09:46] {Threei} half out
[09:46] {Threei} just to be safe
[09:47] {Threei} NQ drops
[09:47] {Threei} but thing looks OK

[09:50] {Threei} stop .29
[09:51] {hawkfan4} took 1/2 off at .54
[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

[10:08] {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] {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

[10:42] {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

[11:03] {Threei} saw all the people around in taxedos

[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
[11:11] {Threei} too vertical into support ese... usually bounces after that

[09:28] {Threei} on pilot's question "why??" sdaid "I want to boast I tore it off with my bare hands"
[09:29] {hawkfan4} :)

[09:30] {Threei} ground base
[09:31] {Raven}
3 k
[09:31] {Threei} USO still moving up, watching for setback
[09:31] {Threei} relation with UAUA looks valid
[09:32] {Threei} .75 support so far, want a little pullback now, bottoming out not lower than that
[09:34] {Threei} unclear here
[09:34] {Threei} need sharp USO move
[09:36] {Threei} .66 long if stays above .60
[09:36] {magoo} wow..its dowen
[09:37] {magoo} can see my improvemt in spelling while away vad?
[09:37] {Threei} hehe
[09:37] {magoo} dowen

[09:53] {Roman}
21 stop under 29
[09:53] {Threei} 1:1 UAUA
[09:53] {Threei} half out or scalp, watever you feel like
[09:53] {Threei} jerky here
[10:02] {Threei} if USO loses 92.50 UAUA has a shot at more
[10:02] {Threei} USO staus close to this support, doesn't bounce
[10:02] {Threei} likely to losde it
[10:07] {Threei} .61 long UAUA
[10:07] {Threei} if stays above .55
[10:08] {Threei} USO lost support
[10:08] {magoo} in
[10:18] {Threei} stopped
[10:18] {Threei} scalp was it
[10:18] {Threei} got greedy
[10:19] {magoo} it stalled too lomng there
[10:20] {Threei} yup
[10:27] {Threei} THE FCC HAS APPROVED THE GOOGLE ANDROID PHONE, AND DOCUMENTS SUGGEST A RELEASE DATE COULD BE NOV 10 - VENTUREBEAT.COM (TIMING UNCERTAIN)
[10:27] {Threei} - note: the Nov 10 date is in line with Google's statements that it would be released in 2H 2008, though some analysts have speculated about a launch date as early as Sept.
[10:35] {Threei} DYAX 5 break long if stays above 4.90
[10:36] {Threei} USO fooled us eh?
[10:36] {magoo} yup
[10:43] {magoo} now UAUA insults us
[10:44] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIAN TANKS ARE REPORTEDLY DESTROYING GEORGIAN POLICE CARS
[10:44] {Threei} you are not kidding mags
[10:50] {Threei} new low USO
[10:55] {magoo} im smackinf uaua overhead just to knock it down for spite
[10:58] {Threei} you in?
[10:59] {magoo} no
[10:59] {magoo} u?
[10:59] {Threei} no
[11:00] {Threei} need USO to take out low
[11:00] {Threei} while preferrably staying under .50
[11:00] {Threei} in now
[11:01] {magoo} where?
[11:01] {Threei} .43
[11:02] {Threei} half out .57
[11:02] {Threei} stop .39
[11:03] {hawkfan4} 1/2 out + .16
[11:04] {Threei} half out DYAX .15
[11:05] {Threei} stopped second half UAUA
[11:07] {Threei} overtightened it I guess
[11:07] {Threei} prefer to stay on a conservative side
[11:08] {Threei} yeah... too conservative, lol
[11:11] {hawkfan4} out rest +.35, thx
[11:11] {Threei} welcome
[11:15] {Threei} USO loss of 90.50 should send UAUA over 15
[11:15] {Threei} grr
[11:15] {Threei} went therer not even waiting for USO
[11:15] {magoo} uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggggg
[11:16] {Threei} USO found support so far
[11:17] {Threei} let it play out, bounce can be vicious
[11:17] {Threei} in fact, I'd try long USO with stop under .50
[11:18] {magoo} thats what i was thinking
[11:19] {dptl} got to leave early...have a good rest of the day all:)
[11:19] {Threei} take care dp :)
[11:20] {Threei} first strength from here USO
[11:20] {magoo} bye dp:)
[11:20] {Threei} lost .50, no play
[11:21] {Threei} maybe just a headfake
[11:21] {Threei} hard to tell
[11:21] {Threei} staying on a sideline
[11:23] {Threei} ugh, was a buy on that dive
[11:27] {peterg} arba
[11:27] {Threei} no news that I see
[11:32] {Threei} anyone had mor conviction than I did for USO long?
[11:34] {hawkfan4} i got +.20 out of it, thx :)
[11:35] {Threei} :)
06[11:38] * Threei slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout
[11:38] {Chaeron} Good morning everyone
06[11:38] * Chaeron slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[11:38] {Threei} hi Chaeron :)
[11:38] {Chaeron} welcome back buddy
[11:38] {Threei} thank you
06[11:43] * magoo slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout
[11:44] {Chaeron} hi magoo :)
[11:45] {Threei} most likely one more USO spike before it retreats
[11:45] {Threei} if it takes UAUA down into 14.50, will be interesting for bounce scalp
[12:03] {Threei} watching for dopuble top around 92
[12:03] {Threei} want to see one more advance to it, then drop
[12:06] {Threei} here comes advance
[12:07] {Threei} UAUA is close enough to .50 to grab it if USO drop quickly
[12:07] {Threei} in .55
[12:08] {Threei} .45 stop
[12:09] {Threei} die USO
[12:09] {Threei} good boy, lose .50 now
[12:12] {Threei} thing of beauty
[12:13] {Threei} half out or take scalp, whatever you fancy
[12:14] {Threei} any takers?
[12:15] {Threei} come on, play laid out well in advance and developed exactly according to scenario
[12:16] {hawkfan4} i got it , in .56, 1/2 out .74
[12:17] {Threei} whew
[12:17] {Threei} thank you
[12:17] {hawkfan4} lol
[12:17] {Threei} :)
[12:19] {magoo} i didn't like long call with mkts here heading down
[12:51] {magoo} .
[12:51] {Threei} USO .11 long if stays above 91.90
[12:52] {Threei} if loses it, eyeing UAUA long at .51
[12:52] {Threei} in UAUA aggresively
[12:52] {Threei} stop .35
[12:53] {Threei} got .45... fast spike
06[12:54] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:56] {magoo} c'mon..no one else
06[12:56] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:56] {Threei} out .59

06[13:37] * Chaeron slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[13:37] {Threei} local outage
[13:37] {Threei} back on
[13:49] {Threei} am I here?
[13:49] {hawkfan4} no
[13:49] {Threei} or anyone else, for that matter?
[13:50] {patience} not really
[13:50] {Threei} thought so
[13:56] {magoo} am i?
[13:56] {Threei} just noticed... FNM is shortable again
[13:56] {Threei} too bad I haven't looked earlier
[13:57] {Threei} 7 breakdown was clean setup
[14:00] {Threei} 6.40 break probably worth a try
[14:00] {Threei} feels like down is the only way for it
[14:05] {Threei} watching where it tops out to define a stop
[14:06] {Threei} also, .80 break long DYAX for a scalp into close, 4.68 stop
[14:16] {Threei} USO sharp drop under 91 would be very welcome now that UAUA is so close to support at .50
[14:17] {Threei} so far FNM tops just above .50
[14:17] {Threei} if stays this way .40 break is a good short

[11:48] {lars} :) good for a chuckle anyway
[11:48] {dino} fsys
[11:52] {lars} is cien gonna break or should i be out now?
[11:52] {Threei} where are you in?
[11:52] {lars} .02
[11:53] {magoo} sheesh..i forgot i was in CIEN
[11:53] {magoo} no kidding
[11:53] {Threei} lol
[11:53] {dino} tpgi
[11:53] {dino} bad prints
[11:53] {Threei} I tried to offer it at .18, never got hit
[11:53] {Threei} but it's holding well
[11:53] {Threei} unless market sharply reverses down, it still has a chance for more
[11:54] {lars} just makin sure ... thx vad
[11:54] {Threei} choice is to take small garantted 1:1, vs holding for 1:2 and trailing stop to under 17
[11:54] {Threei} so risk is ridiculously small
[11:54] {Threei} and all you risk is to lose this current profit
[11:55] {Threei} so decide how much you need it vs how much you want to double it
[11:55] {lars} 1:2 would be .18?
[11:56] {Threei} somwhere there, yeah
[11:56] {lars} understood
[11:56] {Threei} I can't gather enough brain power to calculate precisely
[11:56] {Threei} besides, I am not good at math
[11:56] {lars} lol... too much training
[11:56] {Threei} there are three kinds of people
[11:56] {Threei} one who can count and one who can't
[11:57] {lars} ok ill bite... 3rd?
[11:57] {Threei} no 3rd
[11:57] {Threei} that's whole joke... it's being said by one who belongs to 2nd kind
[11:57] {lars} lol good one

[14:53] {lars} stubborn
[14:53] {Threei} needs USO to break 93 and panic
[14:58] {Threei} absence of any decent bounce and staying so close to 93 makes it very likely to happen

Aug 07 2008

Session Time: Thu Aug 07 00:00:00 2008

[08:15] {Threei} VRNM... morning fingers warm-up, 3.32 in, 3.50 out
[08:17] {hawkfan4} nice
[08:18] {hawkfan4} what's got oil so happy this morning?
[08:18] {Threei} looked quite safe with offer right at yesterday's closing price
[08:19] {Threei} I don't ssee anything dramatic in news
[08:19] {hawkfan4} yeah me either
[08:20] {Threei} I guess we just can't count on straing down to 80 :)
[08:21] {Threei} in my view we will get there sooner or later
[08:21] {Threei} but there are always different camps
[08:21] {Threei} one perceives such drop as end of bull move
[08:21] {hawkfan4} i sure hope we do
[08:21] {Threei} other takes it as pullback within bull trend
[08:22] {Threei} and seeing it as buying opportunity provides buying wave
[08:22] {Threei} then there are shorts, some of which have shorter time frame
[08:22] {Threei} or lower risk teloerance
[08:23] {Threei} so they add fuel to buying after significant pullback
[08:23] {Threei} All these reasons exist in "trading" universe, not in "investing" one
[08:23] {Threei} so they influence direction regardless of visible reasons
[08:24] {Threei} (and that's where we short term traders find our food)
[08:24] {hawkfan4} makes sense to me :)
[08:25] {Threei} our hope now is,
[08:25] {Threei} the depth of this oil drop showed potential buyers just how vulnerable it can be
[08:25] {Threei} and hopefully instilled fear in them
[08:25] {Threei} so when recoveries occur, they (buyers) will tend to get much more careful
[08:26] {Threei} and we will not see "buy at any price, it goes to the moon anyway" mentality
[08:27] {Threei} I mean if oil could drop 30 bucks in a course of what, less than one month,
[08:27] {Threei} what is there to keep it from dropping 40 more in just a few short weeks
[08:27] {Threei} which would get us to that 80
[08:27] {hawkfan4} that beautiful 80
[08:28] {Threei} Magnitude of such drop also serves as good reminder that no matter what kind of fundamental reasons lie under the bullish move
[08:28] {Threei} there is a great deal of pure trading reasons also
[08:28] {Threei} and it's anyone's guess what ratio is
[08:29] {Threei} I see some saying last 40 bucks were pure speculation,
[08:29] {Threei} others assigning last 60 or last 20
[08:29] {Threei} I have no idea how they calculate it, my tea leaves show last $85.76
[08:30] {hawkfan4} lol, all i know is i'll be sad when the UAUA/oil trade dries up
[08:30] {Threei} but market tens to overshoot reasonable targets on BOTH sides
[08:30] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 455K V 425KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 3.311M V 3.255ME
[08:30] {Threei} *(CA) JUN BUILDING PERMITS M/M: -5.3% V -1.0%E
[08:31] {Threei} something else will come...
[08:31] {Threei} sure, such strong correlation is always nice to have
[08:31] {Threei} provides for amazingly predictable trades
[08:32] {hawkfan4} yep, i traded the solars for a long time, now they're much less predictable, i hardly touch them
[08:32] {Threei} right
[08:32] {Threei} we played solars for about 6 months at least I think
[08:32] {Threei} financials came with their wave of opportunities
[08:33] {Threei} then airlines
[08:33] {Threei} sonething will always be there
[08:33] {Threei} we haven't seen anything from nanos in a long while
[08:33] {Threei} or stem cells
[08:33] {Threei} or... or...
[08:33] {Threei} in 1999 maanias would come one after another
[08:34] {Threei} china... wireless... Pokemon
[08:35] {hawkfan4} i watch POT/MOS, POT ususally leads and i trade MOS, but it's super risky, moves fast. Worked great yesterday
[08:35] {Threei} there you go..
[08:35] {Threei} when you get the general idea, you'll always find opportunities
[08:50] {judijim} good morning

[09:34] {Threei} AIG half lot long .26
[09:34] {Threei} if stays about .10
[09:35] {Threei} invalidated, let it drop more
[09:35] {Threei} or establish new range

[09:49] {Threei} gj
[09:50] {Threei} it did give a few opportunities, it's just that they all were too fast to call
[09:50] {Threei} if you watched and were ready, they were exploitable
[09:50] {peterg} right
[09:51] {esemde} morning
[09:51] {peterg} still slow but impossible to do on previous platform thks
[09:51] {Threei} 9.80 break for UAUA, if USO drops

[10:53] {dino} rail to .99
[10:54] {Threei} here is pullback for scalp entry, V... with stop under .20
[10:54] {Threei} or for dino's setup

[11:25] {Threei} - Citi will reimburse investors who sold ARS at a discount after the market failed, to reimburse over 40K customers nationwide
[11:25] {Threei} - SEC: Citigroup to liquidate $12B in ARS from institutions by end of 2009, to liquidate $7B in ARS bought by investors at par in no later than 3 months. Citi to buy back ARS at par from all individuals and charities that bought from Citi before Feb 11, 2008.
[11:25] {Threei} COMMENTS ON NY ATTY GEN DECISION, NOTING THE CAPITAL IMPACT OF BRINGING ARS TO BALANCE SHEET WILL BE 'DE MINIMIS'
[11:25] {Threei} - Notes that the actual cost of acquisition of ARS will depend on market value and the quantity purchased
[11:25] {Threei} - Estimates the difference between the purchase price and the market value of the ARS is around $500M, pre-tax
[11:28] {Threei} Counterparty Risk Management Policy Group III released the report on causes of financial crisis
[11:28] {Threei} In a cover letter to Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., the group attributed some of the crisis to human psychology.
[11:28] {Threei} "The root cause of financial market excesses on both the upside and the downside of the cycle is collective human behavior -- unbridled optimism on the upside -- and fear -- bordering on panic -- on the downside," the letter said.
[11:28] {Threei} really?

[11:31] {dino} they just say it so much better
[11:31] {dptl} :)
[11:32] {Threei} sure... English is their first language

[08:19] {Threei} - Says securities impairment $1.0B
[08:19] {Threei} - Estimated regulatory core capital was $37.1B at June 30, 2008, which represented an estimated $8.4B in excess of the company's statutory minimum capital requirement, and an estimated $2.7B in excess of the 20 percent mandatory target capital surplus directed by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO).
[08:19] {Threei} - The company believes that it is adequately reserved for incurred losses. As of June 30, 2008, the reserve covers approximately 2.7 times of annualized second quarter 2008 contractual net charge-offs.

[08:42] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:44] {Threei} Good morning
[08:44] {hawkfan4} hi vad :)
[08:45] {Threei} sooo... FRE/FNM get killed and recover and go green :)
[08:45] {Threei} that's how it happened every time in the past
[08:45] {Threei} does it hold or this time they are finished for a long while
[08:46] {hawkfan4} been trading FRE, had a couple nice shorts, now long .49, stop .34
[08:46] {peterg} hi guys
[08:46] {Threei} peter :)
[08:46] {hawkfan4} morning
[08:47] {Threei} it's an aggressive entry you took
[08:47] {Threei} per chart, .61 would be long trigger
[08:47] {hawkfan4} yes, and so far it's not working. thought .50 break might get it going
[08:48] {Threei} ABK
[08:48] {Threei} CEO: COMPANY COULD ESTABLISH A NEW MUNICIPAL INSURER BY Q4 - CONF CALL
[08:48] {Threei} it will or it will not
[08:48] {Threei} you know very well... there is nothing inherently wrong with aggressive entries
[08:49] {Threei} and fatalistic approach is the best after the entry's taken
[08:49] {Threei} held this round of selling well
[08:50] {hawkfan4} for me, the closer to the stop, the better. that way i can be wrong more and still be ok. I have a hard time waiting for breaks
[08:50] {Threei} yup
[08:50] {Threei} setup is the function of the market; the way you play it is the function of your personality
[08:50] {Threei} there... "Vadism of the day"
[08:51] {hawkfan4} i like it :)
[08:52] {Threei} from one of Expos when I was participating in those enormous gatherings... during book signing, I complained quietly that I am running out of ideas what to write and not delighted by standard repeating signature
[08:53] {Threei} someone said "ah, just compe up with new vadism for every book"
[08:53] {hawkfan4} that's a tall order
[08:53] {Threei} no kidding.. easy to do 3 times
[08:53] {Threei} not 30
[08:55] {Threei} so far so good FRE
[08:55] {Threei} break of .60 should make or break this trade
[08:56] {hawkfan4} nice, now to sell 8? ;=)
[08:57] {Threei} 08/05/08 04:30pm [MFLX] Reports Q4 $0.34 v $0.36e, R $167.6M v $165.3Memore.. - Gross Margins 13.8% v 4.6% y/y
[08:58] {Threei} my scalping soul would have seeked relief into spike on .65 break
[08:59] {Threei} my greedy soul would wait for closer 7
[08:59] {Threei} but my greedy soul gets creamed more often than it gets rewarded
[08:59] {Threei} so do your own soul-searching :)
[09:00] {hawkfan4} mine too, i've been trying to get more scalpy, like yesterday with UAUA, i really should've sold it on the first trip to 10, then i could have bought it back lower and had another trade
[09:01] {Threei} that's the whole idea of short term trading... catch your waves and skip unfavorable ones
[09:01] {Threei} so on the $1 move made twice by stock you get $2 profit :)
[09:02] {hawkfan4} yep, i have a tendency to get hung up on bigger targets. 1/3 out FRE .67
[09:02] {Threei} if need some compromise between holding and taking profit, with right entries and tight stops double lot can do wonders
[09:03] {Threei} one for longer hold, one for normal day trading
[09:03] {Threei} trade around with one, try to hit it big with another, keep orioginal stop for this "holding lot"
[09:04] {Threei} this break of .80 is where my daytrading sould would have found calm and quiet
[09:04] {hawkfan4} i do that all the time. had 3 for UAUA yesterday cuz i added just above my stop
[09:04] {Threei} :)
[09:05] {hawkfan4} of course then i decided to wrestle with MOS a few times and got creamed.
[09:09] {hawkfan4} out 1/3 more at .70, trailing the .68 bid

[09:45] {Threei} this time I'd like different type of entry
[09:45] {Threei} consolidation closer to day high and break
[09:46] {Threei} if it can do it and nothing bad happens news/oil wise, 6 is a reasonable target
[09:46] {Threei} with a lot of breathing on the way of course
[09:47] {Threei} if however loses 5, will have to re-evaluate

[12:25] {hawkfan4} :)
[12:25] {peterg} so, the endowment effect causes us to value what we possess. out postions more than we would otherwise.
[12:25] {Threei} IMO, scalping time
[12:26] {Threei} exactly peter, which explains emotional attachment to stocks we have p;osition in
[12:26] {peterg} brief summary of very good article
[12:26] {Threei} distorting the read
[12:26] {peterg} exactly
[12:26] {Threei} go to any message board devoted to specific stocks, you'll see fanboys
[12:27] {Threei} people that manage to cheer bad news, badder news and baddest news
[12:27] {Threei} I actually witnessed once a group of fans cheering company announcement of volutary delisting!
[12:27] {hawkfan4} out .56. good idea on scalping time
[12:28] {Threei} believe it or not, it actually happened
[12:28] {peterg} our hero Jesse Livermore, always made mistakes when he listened to fanboys and bought the package.
[12:32] {Threei} noticed?
[12:32] {Threei} professional traders can, and do, overcome the effect
[12:33] {Threei} good exit hawk
[12:33] {Threei} who needs to see whole profit evaporating
[12:34] {hawkfan4} absolutely, something i'm working on with all my trades.
[12:48] {Threei} ABK approaches high
[12:57] {Threei} is it time VRNM?
[13:00] {Threei} out first lot .28
[13:03] {hawkfan4} where u in from vad?
[13:03] {Threei} 3.10, 3.01 and 3.20
[13:03] {hawkfan4} ok, thanks. .05 here
[13:13] {hawkfan4} 1/2 out .34
[13:13] {Threei} OK, I am getting tired of slapping hawk... anyone else makes profits???
[13:14] {Threei} great... now no one will confess
06[13:15] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[13:15] {patience} vad, my optimum trading conditions don't exist right now. cash is in the account. won't be long before it is back to volatile times.
[13:16] {Threei} I guess
[13:16] {Threei} but I wouldn't have slapped you anyway
06[13:16] * Chaeron slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
06[13:16] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
06[13:16] * magoo slaps patience around a bit with a large trout
[13:19] {patience} hardest part of trading for me is not entering a trade out of boredom
[13:19] {Threei} that's because you are fighting sleep
[13:20] {Threei} I am not, I let myself fall asleep freely, and it makes irt easy not to enter anything
[13:20] {hawkfan4} lol, i need to try that
[13:21] {Threei} it aslso adds some vaguenes to my comments (it's hard to be crystal clear when you type in your sleep),
[13:22] {Threei} and such vagueness works to reinforce guru status
[13:22] {Threei} you know... lik Oracle who always gave quite confusing answers
[13:22] {Threei} and waas deeply respected for that
[13:23] {hawkfan4} :) that's where the vadisms come from eh?
[13:23] {Threei} no, those actually have different source
[13:23] {Threei} they are born when I really try to say somewthing meaningful,
[13:23] {Threei} however lack of proper Englush vocabulary makes my sentences very brif
[13:23] {Threei} thus very concise
[13:24] {Threei} so, it all comes from certain lackings
[13:24] {Threei} I just pretend it's all done intentionally
[13:25] {Threei} thus turning it to my advantage when pretend successfully
[13:25] {hawkfan4} lol
[13:26] {Threei} gosh.... all this stuff goes in room logs open forpublic
[13:55] {Threei} watching UAUA for bounce

[15:43] {esemde} good question....i usually will not play anything under 5.00
[15:44] {esemde} certainly....whin away...
[15:44] {peterg} In my day job, demands are up at the moment in the morning
[15:44] {Threei} [09:46] {Threei} if it can do it and nothing bad happens news/oil wise, 6 is a reasonable target
[15:44] {Threei} [09:46] {Threei} with a lot of breathing on the way of course
[15:44] {Threei} that was ABK comment
[15:44] {peterg} when things are interesting.

Session Time: Tue Aug 05 00:00:00 2008

[08:38] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:39] {Threei} Good morning
[08:39] {cosmo} so far
[08:39] {Threei} thanks to oil
[08:39] {Threei} don't you love this free fall
[08:40] {Threei} may we see it continuing all the way back to, ummm
[08:40] {Threei} where would I be satisfied
[08:40] {cosmo} $15 here
[08:40] {hawkfan4} lol
[08:40] {Threei} I wouldn't mind :)
[08:40] {cosmo} solars should send it there
[08:41] {cosmo} it would still be competative as a lubricant, maybe
[08:43] {cosmo} COMS sees better times ahead...fwiw
[08:47] {Threei} ELN continues recovery
[08:50] {hawkfan4} that was a nice one yesterday
[08:51] {hawkfan4} ABK gapping
[08:54] {judijim} good morning
[08:55] {Threei} jj :)
[08:55] {tomg} good morning
[08:55] {Threei} tom :)
[09:03] {Threei} ·In energy news overnight an OPEC source said that OPEC is unlikely to change output quotas at the September meeting unless oil prices fall below $80/barrel.
[09:03] {Threei} hehe
[09:03] {Threei} are we starting projecting that far down?
[09:11] {dino} gm all
[09:13] {Threei} dino :)
[09:16] {dino} gm. vad when are you cruising?
[09:16] {dptl} good morning all
[09:17] {magoo} l.dfm.xfvm.x.kjdf,.xdn.,x
[09:17] {Threei} dp, magoo :)
[09:17] {Threei} next week dino
[09:18] {dino} ok
[09:19] {magoo} great, right after i convert my ome to wood pellots heating system..oil return s to $80 lol
[09:19] {Threei} I suspect you may have been the reason
[09:20] {Threei} killed the demand, you know...
[09:24] {Threei} ABK daily has no resistance up to 6
[09:24] {fernp} Good morning all
[09:25] {Threei} fern :)
[09:25] {Threei} so... considering that Fed holding steady today is almost a given, non-event?
[09:27] {Threei} also, look at UAUA daily
[09:27] {Threei} break of 10 looks like total springboard
[09:27] {Threei} dependency on oil makes it harder read but still
[09:28] {pita} gm all
[09:28] {Threei} pita :)
[09:28] {peterg} hello
[09:29] {Threei} peter :)
[09:30] {lars} morning all
[09:30] {Threei} lars :)
[09:31] {Threei} ABK formed 4.50 - 4.65 range
[09:31] {Threei} yesterday's scenario though was to invalidate break, then bottom out and go over range high
[09:32] {Threei} UAUA 9.50 break long (with oil directional support of course)
[09:34] {Threei} in UAUA aggressively
[09:34] {Threei} stop under .30
[09:34] {Threei} pulled back into .35 support, market moved up and oil down at the moment
[09:34] {Threei} so grabbed .37
[09:35] {hawkfan4} got .38
[09:35] {Threei} need break of .50 for this entry to be more than scalp
[09:36] {Threei} USO losing .40 and droopping sharply is needed
[09:36] {Threei} come on UAUA, don't quit on us now
[09:37] {Threei} NQ is trying for a new high
[09:37] {Threei} ugh
[09:37] {Threei} OK, stopped
[09:38] {dino} rick stop to .95 from p.m. yesterday
[09:38] {dino} out +.42
[09:40] {Threei} missed ABK entry
[09:40] {Threei} anyone got it?
[09:41] {lars} missed it here
[09:41] {Threei} feels like frenzy is coming
[09:42] {Threei} pullback is still better on this type than break
[09:42] {dino} cedc l sm .10, wide
[09:43] {dino} out .50, +.40
[09:43] {dino} that was fast

[10:40] {fernp} Good morning all
[10:40] {Threei} fern :)
[10:40] {Threei} so... considering that Fed holding steady today is almost a given, non-event?
[10:40] {Threei} also, look at UAUA daily
[10:40] {Threei} break of 10 looks like total springboard
[10:40] {Threei} dependency on oil makes it harder read but still

[10:40] {Threei} ABK formed 4.50 - 4.65 range
[10:40] {Threei} yesterday's scenario though was to invalidate break, then bottom out and go over range high
[10:40] {Threei} UAUA 9.50 break long (with oil directional support of course)
[10:40] {Threei} in UAUA aggressively
[10:40] {Threei} stop under .30

[10:40] {Threei} so grabbed .37
[10:40] {hawkfan4} got .38
[10:40] {Threei} need break of .50 for this entry to be more than scalp

[11:52] {hawkfan4} UAL Corp. (UAUA), AMR Corp (AMR)
[11:52] {Threei} people still trust upgrades?
[11:52] {Threei} and actually buy on them?

[11:53] {Threei} MERRILL LYNCH RAISED UAUA TO BUY FROM SELL, PRICE TARGET: $14.00
[11:53] {Threei} -Note prior PT was $7.50
[12:04] {Threei} if UAUA takes .80, 10 becomes a magnet
[12:06] {Threei} and 10 break on daily looks explosive...
[12:06] {Threei} here is 10
[12:07] {Threei} out and want pullback

[13:22] {Threei} - Reminder the NYT reported that the CEO of Freddie Mac failed to heed internal warnings from 2004 regarding concerns about the loans that the company was financing{FNM}
[13:23] {Threei} PREVIEW: FOMC RATE DECISION DUE OUT AT ABOUT 2:15PMET
[13:23] {Threei} **consensus expectation is for rates to remain steady at 2.00%, and indeed economists surveyed are unanimous that the FOMC will not make any rate move today. Most analysts believe the FOMC statement will not be altered substantially, despite some recent tough talk in Fed speeches. Since the last rate decision, several Fed officials have asserted that they cannot wait for a full housing and credit market recovery before beginning to withdraw monetary policy easing. Note that historically, the Fed is very reluctant to move interest rates in the months ahead of a national election. Currently, Fed Fund Futures show about a 32% chance of a 25 bps hike by the September meeting, and fully pricing in a 25 bps hike by the end of the year.

[11:25] {esemde} 6 year interest free loans??? there nuts
[11:25] {Threei} they need to get rid of lease at this point
[11:26] {GeoArb} they are all loosing money hand over fist on leases
[11:26] {Threei} IMO, in preparation for total fleet revamping which is going to make gasoline-based cars impossible to sell
[11:26] {Threei} not really Geo
[11:26] {Threei} lease is more pfoitable for them
[11:26] {GeoArb} in fact one of them stopped leasing
[11:26] {GeoArb} right now
[11:27] {GeoArb} lemme find the article
[11:27] {Threei} all 3 actually are backing away of it
[11:27] {GeoArb} yeah
[11:27] {Threei} don't bother, I read it
[11:27] {GeoArb} heheh
[11:27] {Threei} but their abandoning lease is not based on losing money on it
[11:27] {GeoArb} credit crunch
[11:27] {GeoArb} and resale lower than projection
[11:27] {Threei} they lease you a car,
[11:28] {Threei} you come back in 3-4 years,
[11:28] {Threei} dump a car in their lap,
[11:28] {Threei} and get another one.
[11:28] {Threei} ABK 4
[11:28] {Threei} Everything worked fine while business was as usual
[11:28] {Threei} However when they are in the middle of turning their fleet into different technology
[11:29] {Threei} old cars will be unsellable
[11:29] {Threei} aand they prefer to sell it to you today and have you stuck with it
[11:29] {Threei} instead of you dumping it on them, get your new shining super-duper-nuclear-hydrogen-electric
[11:29] {Threei} and them stuck with obsolete gasolin dybosaur they can't sell
[11:30] {GeoArb} also IMO they are having difficulty in credit to pass along
[11:30] {Threei} everyone does...
[11:30] {GeoArb} i like amtrack
[11:30] {Threei} that's of less concern to them though
[11:31] {Threei} they still give you financing, right?
[11:31] {GeoArb} i am a socialist rubbing sholders with other commoners
[11:31] {Threei} need credit for that even more than for lease
[11:32] {Threei} anyone found entry on ABK?
