[08:59] {cosmo} how about those you don't trust...mags

[09:02] {Raven}  I trust all of you turkeys had a nice Thanksgiving ...

[09:02] {KSystems} good morning!

[09:02] {Threei}  Raven, ks :)

[09:02] {cosmo} i managed to keep my head ....

[09:03] {Raven}  nice! :)

[09:03] {cosmo} one more year

[09:04] {Raven}  one less year

[09:05] {cosmo} pesimist

[09:05] {Raven}  sigh ... pessimist

[09:06] {cosmo} sigh...agree

[09:06] {Threei}  C strength

[09:07] {Raven}  back to reality

[09:07] {magoo} mkts close noon or 1 pm ?

[09:08] {Raven}  1 pm

[09:08] {Raven}  est

[09:08] {Raven}  that is Eastern Standard Time not an estimate

[09:09] {cosmo} then what?  ... go shopping?

[09:09] {Raven}  start drinking

[09:09] {cosmo} ah

[09:09] {Onix} Good morning all

[09:09] {magoo} ty

[09:11] {Threei}  onix :)

[09:18] {ese} morning......how long is the market open today?

[09:18] {KSystems} Raven was estimating 1pm ;-)

[09:18] {KSystems} hi ese

[09:19] {ese} hey ksys

[09:19] {KSystems} 1pm EST is correct

[09:19] {ese} tks

[09:19] {Threei}  ese :)

[09:19] {ese} morning vad....

[09:19] {dino} gm all

[09:19] {Threei}  dino :)

[09:19] {ese} dino

[09:20] {KSystems} morning

[09:20] {Threei}  this thanksgiving short day is usually marked by very thin trading and big volatility

[09:20] {Threei}  let's be careful, try to nail couple relatively safe onces

[09:21] {magoo} u leaning long?traditionally up day but we are up already past sev trading sessions and europe down

[09:21] {Threei}  true

[09:22] {Threei}  my feeling is, we ought to go green

[09:22] {Threei}  but I am willing to act on that feeling only when I see confirmation

[09:22] {magoo} i know we need to let it develope..but like always..wondering your thoughts

[09:22] {Threei}  supports holding, resistances broken, good support on pullbacks

[09:23] {dino} fwiw, last week of oct bounced from 8143-9454, roughly 1300 pts, last week nov 7449-8726, roughly 1300 pts

[09:24] {dino} end of month mark-ups, imo

[09:24] {Threei}  same points, but percentage grows

[09:25] {dino} which is more bothersome

[09:25] {Threei}  if we go down to 100 points Dow, can you imagine the percentages of bounces? :)

[09:25] {dino} i think govt said off the cuff, end of month mark ups being ignored for now 

[09:25] {ese} anyone catch this instantaneous volume in AAUK 500k shs

[09:26] {Threei}  at 11.63, yeah

[09:26] {Threei}  looks more like some kind of external print rather than real time trade to me

[09:34] {Threei}  OK, GM, pullback to .25 .30 area to watch

[09:34] {Threei}  or .50 break if consolidates a little above .35 .40

[09:35] {Threei}  C just want pull back for us

[08:25] {Threei}  BALTIC DRY BULK INDEX FALLS 5.1%, LOWEST LEVEL SINCE JAN 1987

[08:28] {Threei}  e-mails I get...

[08:28] {Threei}  Canada

[08:28] {Threei} 

[08:28] {Threei}  If the federal government sent each and every one of us a $600

[08:28] {Threei}  Rebate........As was done in the U.S of A. Recently.

[08:28] {Threei}  --------------

[08:28] {Threei}  If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .

[08:28] {Threei}  -----------

[08:28] {Threei}  If we spend it on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs.

[08:28] {Threei}  ------------

[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase a computer it will go to India

[08:28] {Threei} 

[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala

[08:28] {Threei}  --------------

[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase a car, it will go to Japan or Mexico .

[08:28] {Threei}  -----------

[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan

[08:28] {Threei}  and none of it will help the Canadian economy.

[08:28] {Threei}  -------------

[08:28] {Threei}  The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on

[08:28] {Threei}  prostitutes, weed, beer, rye whisky and tattoos since these are the only

[08:28] {Threei}  products still produced in CANADA.

[14:40] {Threei}  funny... automakers come asking for 25 B, PTB demands plan and guarantees

[14:40] {Threei}  trillions meanwhile are being poured into banks with purpose to unlock the credit,

[14:40] {Geo} auto workers dont have their college buddies with their hands on the taps

[14:40] {Threei}  banks don't free the credit,

[14:41] {Threei}  and no one ever thinks of any kind of conditions and consequences to attach?

[14:41] {Threei}  now, I am bank,

[14:41] {Threei}  I am holding credit frozen,

[14:41] {Threei}  I am given hundreds of billions to do that

[14:42] {Threei}  but no one demands anything

[14:42] {Threei}  so, I am either to unlock that credit

[14:42] {Threei}  or sit and look pretty

[14:42] {Threei}  and more billions will be given.

[14:42] {Threei}  What I am going to do?

Nov 25 2008

Somewhat boring and mildly profitable day. Just 5 trades, 4 of them wins, 1 stop. Couple worked nicely, particularly UAUA for 40 cents. Boring though. Though profitable. Even though boring. But I am willing to yawn on my way to the bank.

[09:21] {Threei}  compete

[09:22] {Threei}  you have to agree - it's hard to beat the guy who says "we are in crisis"

[09:22] {Threei}  the best thing I could think of is, "today is Nov 25"

[09:24] {Threei}  (FR) FRENCH PM: FRANCE WILL SHORTLY UNVEIL MEASURES TO AID THE AUTO INDUSTRY SOON, REITERATES THAT EUROPE NEEDS A LARGE STIMULUS PACKAGE

[09:30] {Threei}  watching UAUA for sharp pullback

[09:31] {Threei}  possible entry around 9.20

[09:32] {Threei}  wow

[09:32] {Threei}  what was that

[09:35] {Threei}  first attempt at entry, C around .20

[09:36] {Threei}  if not losing ,30 anymore then .40 break is entry

[09:36] {Threei}  more risky than pure pullback

[09:38] {dino} rimm blood

[09:42] {Threei}  go out and shop to help economy?

[09:43] {lisa_jay} C still valid Vad? Buy at .20

[09:43] {Threei}  not price per se

[09:43] {Threei}  it's a support zone, need it to stabilize there

[09:44] {Threei}  and market to establish pullback bottom and start upward move

[09:44] {Threei}  neither happened yet

[09:46] {Threei}  if market shows strength here, let's modify play: .31 entry if stays above .20

[09:49] {Threei}  UAUA amazingly strong

[09:49] {Threei}  no pullback to speak of for entry

[10:00] {Threei}  lol

[10:02] {Threei}  more reasons for confidence:

[10:02] {Threei}  FDIC: TROUBLED BANK LIST GREW TO 171 IN Q3, V 117 Q/Q

[10:04] {Threei}  more from amazing Paulson:

[10:04] {Threei}  NEW FACILITY IS AIMED AT RESTORING AFFORDABLE MORTGAGE FINANCE

[10:04] {Threei}  - The lack of consumer credit is weakening economy, asset-backed securities are essentially frozen.

[10:04] {Threei}  - Warns it will take time to work thorugh the many economic problems faced by the economy.

[10:04] {Threei}  - The $20B for consumer credit is targeted at reducing the cost of small business loans.

[10:04] {Threei}  I give up

[10:04] {Threei}  I am no master of stating the obvious anymore

[10:04] {Threei}  this beats anything I could ever come up with:

[10:04] {Threei}  Warns it will take time to work thorugh the many economic problems faced by the economy

[10:05] {hawkfan4} lol

[10:05] {Threei}  and if he alone was not enough to beat me:

Nov 24 2008

Beautiful calm strong day. Not much of hectic action except last 10-15 minutes. Just one small stop at the beginning of day, the rest of trades worked like charm, and many for much more than scalps. Notably, GG for $1, QQQQ for 50 cents, etc. Nice to see normal action for a change. Got a whiff of what was coming early:

{10:09}  my impression of market action is, it wants to climb the wall of worry today. Barring news, feels like we are in for a nice upside move

... and stayed with it, catching second leg of the rally just in time:

{13:58}  feels like market gathering forces and probing ground for another powerful rally. One more pullback is likely before main push comes.

Worked out like a clockwork.

Session Time: Mon Nov 24 00:00:00 2008

[09:24] {dino} so the big question, does the open gap up get filled as usual/

[09:25] {Threei}  whether it's today or not is anyone's guess of course

[08:14] {Threei}  Good morning mags

[08:14] {magoo} :)

[08:18] {Threei}  how about this translation?

[08:19] {magoo} ty..only way i can understand iot lol

[08:20] {patience} good morning guys

[08:20] {Threei}  patience :)

[08:20] {magoo} vad, any surprises in tech sector..aapl rimm etc

[08:21] {magoo} morn patience:)

[08:42] {ese} good morning

[08:42] {Threei}  ese :)

[08:42] {ese} hey vad.......back after another thursday  morning Hiatus....

[08:43] {ese} yup....could lose some money in CSIQ

[08:44] {ese} have a couple of positions there

[08:44] {magoo} vads news aapl rimm??

[08:44] {Threei}  no

[08:45] {ese} although CSIQ has 6 bucks and some in cash per share....and it's trading at 3.50

[08:45] {magoo} ty

[08:46] {hawkfan4} EMKR .85 cents, geez

[08:49] {ese} was it another big down day share wise on the Dow yesterday......capitulation maybe??

[08:49] {ese} did it feel like that to you Vad

[08:49] {Threei}  as already occured you mean? or coming?

[08:50] {Threei}  yeasterday's selling wasn't it

[08:50] {ese} i think as already occured....yesterday

[08:50] {Threei}  nasty sellof as it was, it didn't feel at all like that final climactic "get me out so I can forget whole thing"

[08:51] {ese} you feel like that is still to come

[08:51] {Threei}  this I don't know

[08:51] {Threei}  see, capitulation is a sure way to finish the phase and start anew,

[08:51] {Threei}  but not every bear market ends in capitulation

[08:52] {ese} how so

[08:52] {Threei}  sometimes it's along slow grind,

[08:52] {Threei}  sometimes it's a certain turn of events that changes sentiment

[08:53] {magoo} vad..we are down so far levels that is..and people been getting out ...maybe no woosh

[08:53] {Threei}  and sometimes capitulation is not as pronounced as to be spotted as it occurs

[08:53] {Threei}  and becomes capitulation in hindsight only

[08:53] {Threei}  right magoo

[08:53] {ese} hmmmmm i see what you mean    volume yesterday 537 mil and Oct 10 672mill

[08:54] {ese} on the Dow

[08:54] {magoo} say again:) lol

[08:54] {Threei}  imagine how much of invested capital was already liquidated during these selloffs

[08:54] {Threei}  day after day

[08:54] {Threei}  relentless selling

[08:54] {Threei}  200 points todsay, 300 tomorrow, 400 again, 200 again

[08:55] {Threei}  Just how much is there left to liquidate?? :)

[08:55] {Threei}  who knows?

[08:56] {Threei}  let me post one short blurb on capitulation I;ve written a while ago

[08:56] {Threei}  need to put it on blog

[08:56] {Threei}  didn't get to it yet

[08:56] {Threei}  so posting here:

[08:57] {wishbone} gm all

[08:57] {Threei}  Re: Capitulation.

[08:57] {Threei} 

[08:57] {Threei}  There are two important things to keep in mind about this concept.

[08:57] {Threei} 

[08:57] {Threei}  First is, bottoms are not always being formed by capitulatory selloff (V-shape). Sometimes it's a slow grind shaping as a dish; sometimes even with caputilation it's still not that easy - initial bounce leads to a second drop into lows and double bottom, however nice the formation is, has second bottom LOWER than first one, so early buyers still get shaken out.

[08:57] {Threei}  Second, and most important to remember. You probably noticed that whereever you find the description of the concept, it's still just a concpet - meaning, there is no measurable component to it. There is, to my best knowledge, no percentage of the drop that quialifies selloff as capitulation. Name any, and you will inevitably find a whole lot of cases where it was exceeded.

[08:57] {Threei}  There is a good reason for that: if there was a certain measurement for capitulation that guaranteed ultimate low, everyone would be insanely rich waiting for it and buying it... and no one would be buying a second earlier. But then again, why would anyone sell at that ultimate low which has been already proven to be an ultimate one?...

[08:58] {Threei}  Thus, capitulation is either:

[08:58] {Threei}  - can not be computed as it's an emotional state, panic, total disarray leading to a freefall - but not being quantifiable, it's in the eye of a beholder, which meakes "getting a read" on it quite discretionary;

[08:58] {Threei}  or

[08:58] {Threei}  - can be computed to a certain degree IF you somehow know the amount of shares that were held by different stakeholders, and see roughly that amount being traded in a very short period of time (again, discretionary component) during very steep selloff (once again, steep by what standard? on what chart?).

[08:59] {Threei}  No doubt, sometimes experienced traders get it right by gut feeling which is a product of vast experience. By no means it's a fool proof process for any of them, and you will always see arguments about whether this particular selling already constitutes capitulation or not yet, whether capitulation is going to be the case on this particular bear market or not. This concept is necessary to understand, but it doesn't mean that once you understand the concept you can spot the capitulatory type of bottom.

[14:27] {Threei}  JPM highly questionable

[14:28] {Threei}  we need a fund manager with strong suicidal tendencies

[14:29] {patience} that would be the ones who manage funds where they have to be fully invested at all times

[14:29] {Threei}  I have deep sympathy for those

[14:31] {Threei}  these days for them must be like watching themselves slowly dismemberd with a saw, limb by limb

[14:31] {Threei}  with band-aids carefully applied to keep them barely alive

[14:57] {Threei}  yesterday's log I started with this:

[14:57] {Threei}  I don't know if I am allowed to call a "nice day" one where trading was profitable but the market suffered another horrific blow. Anyway... that's how it shaped up.

[14:57] {Threei}  one of my correspondents sent to me this:

[14:57] {Threei}  Have you ever heard the saying, “Besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” Sorta’ fits.

[14:57] {Threei}

[14:59] {peterg} to genteel sensibilities, I will refrain

[14:59] {Chaeron} I think the definition of a good or "nice" day is a profitable one, period

[11:41] {dino} waiting for dia again at .35

[11:42] {dino} bit more fun today, huh?

[11:42] {Threei}  certainly

[11:42] {Threei}  there is some spark

[11:43] {Threei}  vs this dull bleak endless slide

[11:43] {dino} ironically, when i'm scalping i have more fun

[11:43] {Threei}  instant gratification... :)

[11:43] {Threei}  always fun

[11:44] {Threei}  that's why dp prefers vodka over beer

[11:44] {dino} i said to magoo, i'm an idiot, struggled this week because no more capits/euphoric setups, took me until now to "see" that. like banging my head against wall

[11:44] {Threei}  gratification comes faster

[11:44] {dino} sort of like a quickie

[11:45] {dino} expected patience to slap me for that

[11:45] {Threei}  I won't go there, leave you to be trouted by girls

[11:45] {dino} in any case, my edge was taken away, so back to scalps

[11:45] {Geo} i think of a quickie like a modified hug

[11:46] {dino} lol

[11:46] {Threei}  or glorified handshake

[11:46] {Geo} yup

[11:46] {Geo} just have to convince the other(s)

[11:46] {Threei}  great... now girls have three of us to slap

[11:47] {dino} :)

[11:47] {dino} thats the thing they make those purple pills for wrong sex

[11:48] {dino} back to work

[11:48] {patience} i step away for a few minutes....

[11:48] {dino} ;-)

[11:48] {Threei}  and lisa didn't hold the fortress

[11:49] {dino} sell fortress

[11:49] {dino} fig 1.94, wasn't that the ipo about a year ago around 35

[11:50] {Threei}  seriously... can you believe DRYS at 4?

[11:51] {dino} going out of business i think 3i, lots of debt, 70% of contracts expiring, and the current rates are losers

[11:52] {dino} also, doing a secondary

[11:52] {Threei}  this is incredible, how things can go so wrong so fast

[11:53] {dino} yeah, at least the 2000 top took 3 years to unwind

[11:53] {dino} we take 3 months

[11:53] {patience} we still have complete sectors to unwind....commercial real estate for example

[11:53] {dino} look kbr trades at cash

[11:53] {Threei}  no kidding

[11:53] {dino} sgr just about too

[11:54] {Threei}  scariest thing is, there are so many spots in economy that is far from being unwound

[11:54] {Threei}  how whole auto debacle is going to play out,

[11:54] {dino} i believe the problem is no financing for takeovers, so nothing gets taken out of system

[11:54] {Threei}  what about all those CDs

[11:54] {dino} cdo's?

[11:54] {Threei}  insurance contracts for BRK went up hugely

[11:55] {Threei}  yes

[11:55] {dino} ironically most are still paying, something like 5% default rate, but nobody thinks rationally

[11:55] {Threei}  there are voices that whole Buffet enterprise is under serious threat of being ruined

[11:56] {dino} if i had cash and time, i'd be buying them less than .50 on the buck

[11:56] {dino} i hear you, ge too

[11:57] {patience} my father's advice to me....spend your cash on property when the fed governmetn sell theirs to raise funds rather than taxes

[11:57] {dino} good advice

06[11:58] * patience slaps hawkfan4 around a bit with a large trout

[11:58] {patience} oops

[11:58] {patience} how did that happen

[11:58] {dino} i'll crack you up, yesterday i bid a 980 sq ft foreclosure at $55k

[11:58] {dino} the price of a nice car

[11:58] {patience} did you get it?

[11:59] {dino} no response yet, but something tells me in the low 60s i will.

[11:59] {dino} my last one sold 10/25, 5 months did 28%

[11:59] {patience} sweet

[14:01] {Threei}  GM

[14:01] {Threei}  COMPANY MAY REPORTEDLY FACE CASH CALL FROM THREE MAJOR SUPPLIERS - UNCONFIRMED REPORT

[14:02] {Threei}  I hate this news barrage

[14:02] {Threei}  market reacts on it

[14:02] {Geo} and its tough to type it all in here

[14:03] {Threei}  distorts trades

[14:04] {Threei}  DRYS was ready to take off

[14:04] {magoo} stop?

[14:04] {Threei}  under 4

[14:06] {Threei}  TREASURY IS VIGILANT AND READY TO RESPOND

[14:06] {Threei}  - It's naive to blame crisis on the Lehman collapse.

[14:06] {Threei}  - Obama team will have to decide on the future of the GSEs.

[14:06] {Threei}  - Warns against moving too quickly on regulation in response to the crisis

[14:14] {Threei}  Reid speaking

[14:15] {Threei}  (US) SENATOR REID: NO VOTE ON AUTO INDUSTRY THIS WEEK, THE SAD REALITY IS THAT NOBODY HAS COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT CAN BE PASSED BY CONGRESS AND SIGNED BY PRESIDENT BUSH

[14:20] {Threei}  - Prepared to hold legislative session in the first week of December. Automakers will have the chance to make their case at that time.

[14:20] {Threei}  - Believes that President Bush already has the authority to provide automakers with aid under the existing TARP program.{GM F}

[14:21] {Threei}  Paulosn, Reid and Pelosi, all speaking in tunrs - can these three kill the market?

[14:22] {magoo} mkt took a hit

[14:22] {dino}   yes they can

[14:23] {dino} the do nothing congress

[14:23] {Threei}  DRYS vs 3 Mean Speakers

[14:23] {dino} again, the way i see it is it's plain and simple, yes or no, get on w.it

[14:23] {Threei}  so far DRYS is holding his own

[14:23] {magoo} with magoo financial future hanging in the balance

[14:23] {Threei}  not the way they see it...

[14:23] {dino} drys, yes holdinging its own from 115, lol

[14:24] {Threei}  for them it's yes but give us a chance to look good

[14:24] {Threei}  lol, what mean thing to say dino

[14:24] {Threei}  stock is fighting for dear life at 4

[14:24] {Threei}  and you discourage it

[14:24] {magoo} really...magoo downgrades drys from buy to mkt perform

[14:24] {dino} well, you know, magoo says i'm a mean guy

[14:25] {Threei}  and considering the source...

[14:25] {Threei}  I mean, anyone considered mean by magoo mush be pure evil

[14:25] {Threei}  woohoo - Barney Frank joined the three

[14:26] {dino} live in sin, come on in

[14:26] {Threei}  market wrapped it arms around its head, closed eyes, said "this is too much", hanged a stone on rope around its neck and jumped off the cliff

[14:28] {Threei}  Dodd and Frank are going to be instrumental

[14:28] {magoo} time to watch that movie again dino

[14:28] {Threei}  do you feel relief?

[14:28] {dino} yes magoo, nobody picked up that

[14:29] {dino} stephen king, storm of the century

[14:29] {Threei}  I love it

[14:29] {dino} live in sin....

[14:29] {magoo} give me what i want...and i will go away

[14:29] {Threei}  give me what I need and I'll go away

[14:30] {dino} this market is king's hell statement

[14:30] {dino} "hell is repetition"

[14:31] {dino} 3i, ahhh, you've seen it

[14:31] {Threei}  one of my favs

[14:33] {dino} ok, coin flip, sm l dia  .15

[14:34] {magoo} a mkt collaspe here will just destroy whats left of any wimper of hope

[14:35] {Threei}  I see glass half full

[14:35] {Threei}  market simply showed that its very willing to go up if give any slightest reason to do it

[14:36] {patience} tsx -501    good day for me though with goldcorp

[14:36] {dino} the optimist

[14:36] {dino} gj patience

[14:37] {patience} talk to me at 3:45....then i start swearing

[14:37] {Threei}  SEN LEVIN: PROPOSAL REQUIRES LONG TERM PLANS FOR AUTOMAKERS

[14:37] {dino} lol, stop by for a beer then, seems we have been having more lately

[14:38] {patience} i have quit drinking while on my diet...down 47 pounds since june 1

[14:38] {Threei}  are automakers supposed to prepare one plan or a plan for each of these talking heads?

[14:38] {dino} wow!

[14:38] {Threei}  'cause if it's just one, why they all repeat it?

[14:38] {dino} hell, 3i thats why

[14:38] {hawkfan4} holy smokes, nice job patience!

[14:39] {patience} running past ese's house....that must be what does it

[14:39] {wishbone} that's a small child patience....nice work!!!!

[14:39] {patience} ty..feels good, still want to go more

[14:39] {dino} great job

[14:40] {dino} out dia .55, +.40

[14:40] {patience} nice

[14:40] {hawkfan4} I need to get moving, signed up for the Big Sur marathon in April

[14:41] {patience} i'm doing a marathon last week of april too

[14:41] {hawkfan4} nice :)

[14:42] {dino} afam sm l .10

[14:44] {Threei}  (US) SENATOR DODD: PREPACKAGED BANKRUPTCY COULD BE ONE OPTION FOR AUTO MAKERS, THE $25B FIGURE IS A CEILING

[14:45] {Threei}  they are done I think

[14:47] {Threei}  - Auto industry executives failed to appreciate that an "unconditional bailout" was unlikely. Executives admitted no culpability for the industry's problems.

[14:47] {Threei}  ahhh... that's it

[14:47] {Threei}  they didn't sprinkle ashes on their heads

[14:47] {patience} they should have flown with the hoi poi instead of private jet

[14:48] {Threei}  I guess they would get their 25B if they walked

[14:48] {dino} already have it, was awarded in prior bill a month or so ago, but to be used to retool/hybrids/etc, they want it for whatever purposes

[14:50] {Threei}  don't you feel thisall is horribly behind the curve?

[14:50] {Geo} unusual repulsion to below 4

[14:50] {Threei}  I mean, they start making alternative fuel cars now

[14:51] {Threei}  oil stabilizes at some low levels,

[14:51] {Threei}  new cars cost seriously more

[14:51] {Threei}  people shrug and say why would we want to pay such premium

[14:51] {Threei}  and they are again losing sales

[14:52] {dino} mcd hl l .75

[14:52] {Threei}  the whole notion "they didn't build cars people wanted" doesn't ring true to me

[14:52] {Threei}  people wanted big SUVs, they built them

[14:52] {Threei}  that was most profitable and active segment

[14:54] {dino} stopped -.27 mcd

[14:56] {dino} agreed 3i

[14:56] {dino} i won't buy one, they cost 10-20k more, buy alot of gas for that

[14:56] {Geo} out

[14:56] {dino} hybrids i mean. suv's i luv, own 2

[14:58] {Threei}  I have this feeling that if something kills big 3 ultimately, it's going to be this help, lol

[15:05] {Threei}  "they are flying private jets" is now an inalienable part of all big 3 discussions

[15:05] {Threei}  media is the message...

[15:07] {Threei}  if I were in their shoes, first time I heard this "you came to beg for money", my reaction would be

[15:07] {Threei}  wrong. I don't ask for anything. I offer you a deal that is going to be good for both of us.

[15:07] {Threei}  Reject it, we both suffer.

[15:07] {Threei}  Accept it, we both win.

[15:08] {Threei}  If you insist on my self-humiliation as a condition for the deal, screw you.

[15:08] {Threei}  I walk.

[15:08] {patience} you're doing all my major purchases in future vad

[15:08] {Threei}  who pays?

[15:08] {Threei}  :)

[15:09] {Geo} i dont know vad

[15:09] {Geo} i would rather be humiliated get money and make 30 mill  a year

[15:09] {patience} ok, i'm switching to geo

[15:09] {Geo} lol

[15:09] {Threei}  you think they personally still don't have enough?

[15:09] {Threei}  heh

[15:09] {patience} did i tell you i was a blonde

[15:09] {Geo} i mean tits never enuff

[15:09] {Geo} umm its

[15:09] {Threei}  ummm

[15:10] {Threei}  lisa is probably still not here

[15:10] {patience} now that has me rolling around laughing

[15:10] {Threei}  that could be the onlty reason Geo is still unslapped

[15:10] {Geo} hey !!

[15:10] {lisa_jay} what?

[15:10] {Threei}  freudian slip eh?

[15:10] {Geo} genuine (freudian) slip

[15:10] {Threei}  scroll up, lisa :)

[15:10] {Geo} comeon vad

[15:10] {Geo} edit !!!!!

[15:11] {Threei}  no way

[15:11] {Threei}  best freudian slip I've seen in ages

[15:11] {Geo} i mean if i job description said....... make 30 mill a year get chewed out once a few yrs

[15:11] {Geo} i would take it

[15:12] {lisa_jay} lol

[15:12] {Threei}  of course, suggesting a deal I would make sure I am damn well prepared

[15:12] {Threei}  all numbers and projections are in place

[15:13] {Threei}  then it's up to them, deal in numbers or insist on idiotic "your intonation was not begging enough"

[15:14] {Threei}  oh, and if I were an owner of the company ofd this scale and CEO insisted on flying commercial from meeting to meeting, I would have fired him for utter waste of precious time

[15:17] {patience} optics of spending 20K on flight for 3 people...you can't fight it

[15:18] {KSystems} cut his wages so his time isn't precious enough anymore for commercials

[15:18] {KSystems} thats what they want to hear, huh?

[15:18] {Threei}  if that's what makes decisions now, this country goes to hell

[15:18] {patience} patience reaches for Atlas Shrugged to see which page that comment was on

[15:19] {dino} geo, lol

[15:19] {Threei}  on every page, actually :)

[15:57] {Geo} c spike

[15:58] {Threei}  I don't see news

[15:59] {wishbone} ya geo thought about c long there....but hesitation has no destination

[15:59] {Threei}  bell brings salvation

[16:00] {patience} quick, turn off the lights

[16:00] {Threei}  turn those machines off

[16:00] {peterg} how did we do today?

[16:00] {peterg} or read log ok ok

[16:00] {Threei}  first half of the day was pure beauty

[16:01] {Threei}  then PTB opened their big mouth

[16:01] {wishbone} lol

[16:01] {peterg} pt barnum cirdcus man

[16:01] {peterg} ?

[16:01] {Threei}  and blabbed about saving us

[16:01] {Threei}  until finally dsaved into -430 DJI

[16:01] {Threei}  Powers That Be

[16:02] {peterg} ck

[16:02] {Threei}  also,

[16:02] {dino} the stability they have provided is quite amazing

[16:02] {Threei}  they so concerned about big 3 ceos flying in private jets

[16:03] {Threei}  that Boing dropped 2 and half points

[16:03] {Threei}  yep, we are pretty much stabilized by them now

[16:03] {muddleheaded} Thanks everybody, have a good night.

[16:03] {Threei}  isn't it incredible... they truly have no slightest idea what they are doing

[16:04] {Threei}  OK guys, have a good evening

[16:04] {magoo} mkt gonna be 3000 by next thurs at thuis rate

[16:04] {Threei}  see you tomorrow

[16:04] {Threei}  mags...

[16:04] {lisa_jay} thanks vad

[16:04] {Threei}  do we buy there or do we wait for zero?

[16:04] {magoo} how can it sell off everyday???

[16:05] {dino} i agree 3i, i think the traders/hedgies/funds/etc, see that we are being led by a bunch of celebrities, not knowledgable people

[16:05] {Geo} arent treasure rates the lowest ever?

[16:05] {Threei}  and that doesn't really instill confidence, eh?

[16:05] {Geo} looks like the great flight to treasuries ever

[16:06] {Threei}  In Paulson's speech today he didn't once refer to the source of the problems being he and his Wall Street colleagues who agreed to build the previous Bull on the back of a ponzi scheme called credit default swaps. At the point he departed Wall Street to join the Treasury Dept, he had to have known that there was no way for his industry to unwind those positions and that as soon as the Bears and Lehmans failed, which broke the credit ring, the game was over.

[16:07] {dino} greenspan just as much at fault too. 

[16:07] {Threei}  oh yeah

[16:07] {Geo} thats liars loker guy wrote a great article too

[16:07] {Geo} poker

[16:08] {dino} read it, thx geo, you posted it prior

[16:08] {dino} that liars poker book was good book too

[16:09] {Geo} why do i get the feeling scretly chaer has been betting against all this

[16:09] {Threei}  interesting thing to me in this day trading is,

[16:10] {Threei}  stocks go down like you need to drag them by the leash

[16:10] {Threei}  but as soon as upward impulse appears, they jump like crazy, seemongly knowing no limit

[16:10] {magoo} but vad..we hit 490 down AGAIN...

[16:10] {dino} for all of 10 minutes

[16:10] {Threei}  sure

[16:10] {Geo} like beach balls

[16:10] {Threei}  I am talking about the weay they trade

[16:11] {magoo} thats cause 100 dollar stox are 4 bux

[16:11] {Threei}  down is slow and torturous

[16:11] {patience} you don't think it isn't program trading

[16:11] {Threei}  up is fast, furious, easy

[16:11] {Geo} at this rate the program guys wont have much to trade

[16:11] {Threei}  I don't know

[16:12] {Threei}  sometimes it's easy to spot programs

[16:12] {Threei}  sometimes it's impossible

[16:12] {Threei}  easy to spot only those that work for quick scalping

[16:12] {dino} i think it's liquidations, by all, hedgies, mutual funds, individuals, pensions, etc.

[16:12] {Geo} agree dino

[16:12] {Threei}  that teleportation pattern we noticed and exploited quite a few times is certainly program trading

[16:12] {dino} insurers, banks, brokers, shall i go on?

[16:13] {Threei}  yeah dino

[16:13] {Threei}  a lot of it is forced

[16:13] {patience} i did too dino, but selling before tax cutoff day for the year, 30 days hence...thought big redemptions were done

[16:13] {Threei}  redemptions, margin calls

[16:13] {dino} my god wait until statements go out at end of month

[16:13] {Threei}  tax selling

[16:13] {magoo} good news is when market hits zero vad...odds are in our favor to go long

[16:13] {dino} they will pop it up 800 pts last two days to try and take some pain out

[16:13] {Geo} lol

[16:13] {Threei}  well mags,

[16:13] {Threei}  let's say not huge odds... but a bit more favorable than now

[16:14] {dino} i have a friend that wanted to retire next year, not happening now

[16:14] {Threei}  I am sure that's a very common situation these days

[16:14] {Threei}  (US) WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT PRES BUSH COULD SUPPORT SENATE COMPROMISE AUTO DEAL, URGES CONGRESS TO PASS COMPROMISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

[16:15] {Threei}  Bush said "this sucker could go down"?

[16:18] {dino} so much for lame duck

[16:19] {dino} s&p has given back 11 years of gains

[16:23] {Threei}  payback is a b*tch

[16:25] {dino} gn all

[16:25] {Threei}  take care, see you tomorrow

[14:35] {Threei}  yes

[14:35] {dino} new dji low

[14:35] {Threei}  but all this "how did you arrive here, commercial or private" is just populist and has nothing to do with real issues

[14:36] {dino} even having it on tv is b.s

[14:36] {Threei}  anyone expecting CEO of compnay of this scale to travel by bus or train or commercial has no idea what he is talking about

[14:37] {Threei}  it's nothing but play on the lowest kind of emotions of population

[14:56] {Threei}  watch market for another spike, UAUA will follow

[14:56] {dawg} OK

[14:58] {magoo} reload here

[15:00] {Onix} In for lunch, hope you people had a good morning's trading

[15:01] {dino} stopped -.50

[15:02] {Onix} Vad, could you please take a look at BRCM and take a guess for me howcome it can hold $14 all morning?

[15:03] {Threei}  who knows

[15:03] {Threei}  maybe found its bottom for now

[15:03] {Onix} I shorted it at $13.99 before i left for work and it is still there

[15:04] {dino} you have the magoo curse onix

[15:04] {dino} rinsed

[15:05] {dino} mcd sm l .50

[15:05] {Threei}  UAUA didn't drop this time with market

[15:06] {Threei}  still needs help of course

[15:06] {Threei}  but gotta be good if any comes

[15:08] {lisa_jay} how to play UAUA vad?

[15:08] {Threei}  not an entry here lisa

[15:09] {Threei}  you missed pullback to .80

[15:09] {Threei}  [14:56] {Threei} watch market for another spike, UAUA will follow

[15:09] {Threei}  [14:56] {dawg} OK

[15:09] {Threei}  [14:58] {magoo} reload here

[15:09] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks...

[15:09] {Threei}  half out ..13 magoo

[15:09] {dawg} OK threei

[15:09] {dawg} got  in

[15:09] {magoo} ok boss took .12

[15:10] {Threei}  partialed out dawg?

[15:10] {dawg} still in 

[15:10] {dawg} all

[15:10] {Threei}  next spike should take it over .20 but let's respect the volatility and protect half

[15:10] {dawg} got it

[15:11] {Threei}  original idea was:

[15:11] {Threei}  [14:42] {Threei} still wastching, any market meaninfgul recovery should take UAUA up about 50 cents

[15:11] {Threei}  we got over 30 cents

[15:11] {Threei}  assuming entry around .80

[15:13] {Threei}  let's go UAUA, market gives "all clear"

06[15:13] * Threei kicks UAUA in the left jet

[15:16] {Threei}  rally is not very convincing so far

[15:16] {lisa_jay} qs need to break that .82

[15:16] {dawg} dawg spins several prayer wheels

[15:17] {dino} lol, i just throw the dice

[15:17] {Threei}  for UAUA it will be enough even if Qs just bounce back there I think, lisa

[15:18] {dawg} stopped last half

[15:19] {Threei}  see... volatility must be respected :)

[15:19] {dawg} Yes sir

[15:19] {Threei}  imagine not securing half around 9.10...

[15:19] {Threei}  how insulting would that be

[15:19] {dawg} would hurt the dawg

[15:22] {dino} dia sm l .65

[15:24] {dino} uh oh

[15:24] {Threei}  wow

[15:25] {Threei}  C

[15:26] {dino} 3i, you see, not allowed 2 up days in row in november

[15:27] {dino} 4 days so far for the month

[15:27] {dino} 3 days

[15:27] {Threei}  and none of them back to back?

[15:28] {lisa_jay} Isn't Nov a bullish month?

[15:28] {Threei}  we still have 10 days

[15:28] {lisa_jay} historically?

[15:28] {dino} yes

[15:28] {Threei}  scalped C... was too scary to call

[15:28] {dino} bs month this year tho

[15:29] {patience} i second that

[15:29] {dino} ty

[15:29] {dino} out dia .05 +.40

[15:30] {dino} just had a daytrader stop in and ask to rent an office off me

[15:30] {Threei}  seriously?

[15:30] {dino} didn't know we had any others here

[15:30] {dino} yes

[15:31] {dino} 8 years e-minis

[15:31] {Threei}  why does he need an office?

[15:31] {dino} renting elsewhere, not as nice

[15:32] {lisa_jay} Probably has kids come home early from school

[15:32] {dino} y

[15:32] {dino} that too.

[15:32] {dino} comraderie also i think

[15:33] {KSystems} where are you located dino?

[15:33] {dino} told her no tho, don't think she'd appreciate it when we go off on a bad trade rant

[15:33] {Threei}  close office dorr, put a sign on saying "come in if living to see the next morning is not in your plans"

[15:33] {lisa_jay} I wonder how the commute would be from NY/ct border to your office.  

[15:33] {dino} pennsylvania

[15:33] {KSystems} ah ok

[15:33] {dino} long lisa

[15:33] {dino} ok, 3:40 rally?

[15:34] {KSystems} not many things i know about pennsylvania..except....Centralia :-) that near where you live?

[15:34] {lisa_jay} thats what i thought.

[15:34] {dino} 2 hrs ks

[15:34] {lisa_jay} * about commute.

[15:34] {dino} y

[15:35] {dino} just jumped 70

[15:35] {dino} vad, you may owe me a beer, i told her to check out the site

[15:36] {Threei}  but we don't ttrade e-minis per se

[15:36] {dino} dia sm l .50

[15:37] {dino} i know, comraderie

[15:37] {Threei}  which won't prevent me from buying a beer of course

[15:37] {dino} could use one today

[15:38] {dino} hit/miss day

[15:38] {Threei}  for the most part... then GS and UA trades brightened things

[15:41] {Threei}  1 min till rally?

[15:42] {Threei}  or not today?

[15:42] {dino} i am so sick of seeing my b-day come up on the dji on almost daily basis, for years never saw it

[15:43] {patience} march 17?

[15:43] {dino} yes

[15:43] {dino} used to like that number

[15:43] {patience} just think of the green beer instead

[15:44] {dino} lol

[15:44] {dino} stop dia -.40

[15:44] {dino} see hit./miss

[15:45] {patience} you're doing better than me dino, usually by this time of day I'm muttering, those bastards

[15:45] {patience} time to go mow the lawn

[15:45] {dino} snow on mine

[15:46] {patience} oak leaves on mine

[15:46] {Threei}  geese droppings on mine

[15:46] {dino} not a good close

[15:46] {Threei}  no

[15:46] {Threei}  YAYA new low

[15:46] {Threei}  U

[15:46] {magoo} 400 down WHAT RALLY

[15:46] {Threei}  C new low

[15:47] {Threei}  how is it not rally?

[15:47] {Threei}  just different direction

[15:47] {Threei}  but we are not discriminating rallies by direction, are we

[15:48] {peterg} newspeak: stocks rallied strongly negatively today

[15:48] {Threei}  there you go

[15:48] {Threei}  Orwell knew his languages

[15:48] {KSystems} Like "Strongly preparing for recovery"?

[15:48] {dino} hate to say it, but feels like we go down to break the 7884 low

[15:48] {peterg} scarily

[15:49] {peterg} Stocks deepened their search for fundamental solidity

[15:49] {Threei}  beautiful

[15:49] {KSystems} collect them and send them to some news agency

[15:50] {KSystems} they'll be out of stock soon

[15:50] {peterg} ;p;

[15:50] {peterg} lol

[15:50] {dino} the stability they talked about earlier is "un"real

[15:50] {Threei}  market improved its coordination with real valuations

[15:50] {peterg} rofl

[15:51] {Threei}  yeah, that line was from behind the looking glass

[15:51] {Threei}  truly bizarre

[15:52] {Threei}  [12:51] {Threei} US TREASURY'S KASHKARI: TREASURY. FDIC, AND FED HAVE STABILIZED MARKETS

[15:52] {dino} maybe he was thinking only worry now about the dowside, because it doesn't go up

[15:52] {Threei}  I hope they don't overstabilize it

[15:53] {Threei}  just a tad more stability as they understand it, and we will see Dow at 1929 levels

[15:54] {dptl} have a good evening all

[15:54] {Threei}  take care dp

[15:57] {Threei}  -433 DJI

[15:59] {dino} cya dp

[15:59] {Threei}  so, in light of today's action...

[15:59] {Threei}  wqhat was yesterday's AH rally about again??

[16:00] {Threei}  such spike, after hours, total illusion of "wow, someone big knows something good"

[16:00] {dino} ge 14

[16:00] {Threei}  only to see this misery today lol

[16:00] {dino} re-balancing of s&p 3i, bud out

[16:01] {Threei}  I heard that theory

[16:01] {dino} had like 50 billion to reallocate

[16:01] {Threei}  just not sure how it explains such spike in indexes

[16:01] {dino} it doesn't, imo, and the futures imo don't mean sh#t

[16:01] {Threei}  mechanics of reallocation as I understand them do not warrant this

[16:01] {dino} everything has gone total random

[16:02] {Threei}  ok guys, thank you all

[16:02] {dino} when the dji moves 100 pts in 2 minutes up/down, it's random

[16:02] {Threei}  have a good evening, see you tomorrow

[16:02] {KSystems} take care vad

[16:02] {dino} i am going back to basics again, simply scalp machine tomorrow

[16:03] {dino} get up, get out

[16:03] {peterg} gnight all--who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

[16:03] {peterg} the shadow knows.........

[16:03] {dino} lol

[16:03] {peterg} of course, that was my nickname back in the day

[16:04] {peterg} or one of them

Nov 18 2008

Started out slow and boring, and for quite a while seemed to stay this way; even very nice GS trade hasn't brought much since it was offset by a few stops. Then last hour activity brightened the day as we were able to nail almost exact reversal point. All in all, ended up nicely.

[08:57] {magoo} u did already?
[08:57] {Threei} no but finger on a trigger
[08:58] {Threei} ultimate risk-based setup
[08:59] {Threei} meaning, no idea what odds of it working are, but even if it's less than 50%, risk is negligible and upside is lucrative
[08:59] {lisa_jay} True Speculators....

[09:35] {Threei} nah, never mind
[09:35] {Threei} no structured setup

[09:46] {Threei} stop under .80
[09:46] {Threei} for scalpers under .9-
[09:46] {Threei} .90
[09:52] {lisa_jay} Stopped on ADBE

[10:04] {laserdave1} magoo dcc please
[10:06] {Threei} FMCN some power
[10:06] {Threei} watching, not sure of entry yet
[10:07] {Threei} obvious setup is .40 break, little C&H
[10:07] {Threei} and nice juicy offer at .37 to take
[10:08] {Threei} will depend on where it bottoms out before break
[10:08] {Threei} ideally, if holding this .30 level

[10:12] {Threei} DELL spiked into resistance a bit too fast
[10:12] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[10:12] {Threei} I'd love to see one more pullback before triggering
[10:12] {dino} urbn l .40 stop lod
[10:12] {Threei} too easy to turn into trap
[10:14] {Threei} any dive to or under .50 on DELL while market remains strong, going to grab it
[10:14] {Threei} chasing, nah... too tortured move
[10:15] {Threei} FMCN offer disappeared
[10:15] {Threei} too bad, was a great indication
[10:16] {lisa_jay} q;s reverse h&s?
[10:16] {Threei} nonetheless, still valid as long as you align position size with stop under .25, plus some slippage
[10:16] {Threei} yes lisa
[10:17] {Threei} DELL got away
[10:17] {Threei} oh well
[10:18] {Threei} Long Setup: INTC .11 if stays above 13
[10:21] {dptl} long intc,long fmcn
[10:22] {Threei} FMCN looks encouraging
[10:23] {Threei} stop can be trailed to under .30
[10:24] {Threei} these sudden market jerks are annoying
[10:27] {Threei} seeing these big bids on FMCN, I'd suggest stop trailing to under .35
[10:27] {Threei} risk will be minimized, and if those bids are hit or withdrawn, it's most likely will go lower anyway
[10:27] {Threei} makes sense?
[10:27] {dptl} yep
[10:27] {Threei} kewl
[10:28] {Onix} in FMCN 7.42 & INTC 13.11
[10:28] {Threei} ok market
[10:28] {Threei} time to do something stunningly stupid
[10:29] {lisa_jay} Same here Onix.
[10:29] {Threei} like go up couple hundred points
[10:29] {Threei} then look down, feel dizzy and drop all the way back
[10:29] {Onix} i like your attitude Vad
[10:30] {Threei} magoo... we have 1:1 on XTLB {VBG}
[10:30] {Threei} out FMCN
[10:30] {dptl} stopped fmcn
[10:30] {lisa_jay} FMCN Stopped
[10:31] {Threei} this was brilliant stop tightening
[10:31] {Threei} look how much it saved us
[10:32] {lisa_jay} :-)
[10:32] {Onix} stopped
[10:33] {Threei} extreme risk control here would be INTC stop trail to .04
[10:34] {Threei} not sure it's worth it
[10:34] {dino} clf sm l .90
[10:34] {Threei} decide for yorself depending on tolerance
[10:34] {Threei} chart wise it makes sense,
[10:35] {Threei} but with this market jerkiness it may be too easy to get stopped out prematurely
[10:35] {Threei} so it's more about whether those 5 cents saved are important for you
[10:37] {dino} clf stopped
[10:39] {dino} i am turning into a rinse machine,
[10:39] {Threei} market is set on a Wash Rinse Repeat cycle
[10:40] {dino} don't follow me today anyone, i'm trying different sizes/stops
[10:41] {Threei} now trailing to under .05 makes more sense on INTC
[10:44] {dino} urbn stopped -.17
[10:46] {magoo} vad, still in XTLB?
[10:46] {Threei} yeah but not delighted
[10:46] {magoo} no enthuisiam
[10:46] {Threei} this kind of drop often causes initial quick countereaction
[10:47] {Threei} when it's dragged out for so long, it can do anything
[10:47] {Threei} or nothing
[10:47] {magoo} longer it takes...nothing more likely
[10:48] {Threei} yeah
[10:48] {dino} uthr sm s .58, stop .08
[10:49] {Threei} I'll set a stop under .16 mags
[10:49] {dino} well that was fast

[11:33] {magoo} any interest in q play vad?
[11:35] {Threei} I wish I could see how
[11:36] {Threei} what I see is this untradable pattern:
[11:36] {Threei} loss of support,
[11:36] {Threei} immediate bounce with break of resistance
[11:36] {Threei} can't short breakdown,
[11:36] {magoo} i was thinking long
[11:36] {Threei} can't buy for bounce because it bottoms out with no indications,
[11:37] {Threei} doesn't form any bounce patterns, just goes up off some random point
[11:37] {Threei} this is a situation where any entry is practically just a crap shoot
[11:37] {muddleheaded} cosmo did you buy ONNN? Ther might be a break here.
[11:37] {magoo} feels like poer up

[11:48] {lisa_jay} Nope, did not go for it...

[12:44] {Threei} I don't see anyone seriously addressing what is going to change the situation if they get money

[13:54] {Threei} which in today's term can be a matter of 5 minutes of trading, lol
[13:54] {dino} i see it
[13:54] {dino} the bigger problem, imo, is we kep topping out lower.
[13:55] {Threei} and overall daily chart from let's say beginning of August is looking anything but bullish
[13:55] {dino} 9,625 11/4; 8,945 11/7; 8,835 11/13
[13:56] {Threei} inverted head and shoulder failed a few days ago
[13:56] {Threei} lows get threatened time and again
[13:56] {dino} triangle forming, which means, imo, a bigger move up or down on the break of it. i defer to you tho, as admittedly i don't know much about triangles
[13:57] {Threei} there is not much to know actually...
[13:57] {Threei} they are simple as rake
[13:57] {dino} que?
[13:58] {peterg} sake? japanese beverage
[13:58] {dino} :)
[13:58] {dino} but seriously, rake? explain
[13:59] {Threei} just a joking comparison... I mean, what is complicated about rake? :)
[13:59] {dino} roflol, trying to "see" into your mind
[13:59] {Geo} really vad
[13:59] {Threei} that should give you whole two minutes of work
[14:00] {dino} so, you too, keep it simple i see
[14:00] {Threei} keeping what simple?
[14:00] {Threei} :)
[14:01] {Threei} awww
[14:02] {Threei} thought of 85 as QID entry
[14:02] {Threei} and hesitated,
[14:02] {Threei} it did feel at the moment like another drop was coming
[14:02] {Threei} anyway... market bounce is more likely now
[14:03] {Threei} Qs long with stop under .60 worth a try
[14:03] {magoo} i like that
[14:03] {magoo} was gonna post
[14:04] {Threei} if you got Qs, chose between scalp and try for closer to 28
[14:04] {lisa_jay} entry Vad?
[14:04] {Threei} about here
[14:04] {dawg} in .69
[14:04] {Threei} good pullback for entry
[14:04] {dawg} Q's
[14:05] {Threei} but if loses .60, drop it like drunken sailor drops... err, never mind
[14:06] {Threei} come on market, show some spine
[14:07] {Threei} GOOG CEO SCHMID: OPTIMISTIC THE ECONOMY WILL RECOVER
[14:07] {Threei} good
[14:07] {Threei} now we can go
[14:07] {dino} well that should do it then
[14:07] {Threei} Schmid is optimistic
[14:07] {dawg} stopped Q's
[14:08] {lisa_jay} Stopped.
[14:08] {dino} 02:07 p.m. est.; "dino confident economy will recover too, timing uncertain."
[14:11] {lisa_jay} Well, i am out of q's play, so we should see good rally here :-)
[14:12] {Threei} it's dino's fault
[14:12] {Threei} he should have reiterated his confidence 1 min sooner
[14:12] {Threei} crap... lol
[14:13] {dino} c'mon i'm rehersing to be an analyist for the big boys
[14:19] {magoo} markets due for a bounce...TIMING uncertain lol
[14:19] {Threei} uhhu
[14:19] {Chaeron} no symbol found uhhu :)
[14:19] {Threei} these two days timing is all but impossible
[14:21] {dino} ya think?
[14:21] {Threei} well... at least as much as I think at all {G}
[14:26] {Threei} Qs, I am about to cry
[14:26] {Threei} loudly
[14:28] {Chaeron} "Bernake and Paulson are fighting the market... and there is no way anyone but the market will win..."
[14:29] {Chaeron} ooops sorry
[14:29] {Geo} hey i want to be in the supersecret room too
[14:29] {Chaeron} I'm in there by myself Geo... not that exciting :)
[14:29] {Geo} lol
[14:30] {Threei} here is siign of things to come when new worldwide agreement will be discussed:
[14:30] {Threei} ECB'S TRICHET: UK MUST RESPECT EU BUDGET RULES WHEN DRAWING UP FISCAL STIMULUS PLANS - Q&A
[14:30] {Geo} am I glad it wasnt some thing like...... "yes charo... I like hot chocolate too"
[14:31] {Threei} ok... if shake and jump is new pattern, waiting for Q under .70
[14:32] {Threei} what do you know... almost there
[14:33] {Threei} sheesh
[14:33] {Threei} I thought that was half joke
[14:33] {Threei} anyway, took .67
[14:34] {dptl} .70
[14:34] {Threei} if this one is stopped, I am in monastery for the next three years
[14:34] {Threei} no four
[14:34] {dawg} in .66
[14:35] {Threei} chaeron says 5, and he will join me
[14:35] {dptl} stop under .60?
[14:35] {Threei} yeah
[14:35] {Threei} problem with chaeron though, he brings about dosen of show girls with him
[14:36] {Geo} thats a problem?
[14:36] {Threei} not good for mental cleansing
[14:36] {Geo} ahhhh
[14:36] {Geo} forget the monasttery chaer... ill just visit laguna
[14:37] {Chaeron} dang it... missed !s
[14:37] {Chaeron} Qs
[14:38] {Threei} of course.. urgent round of calls to showgirls
[14:38] {Chaeron} the ykkep calling ME
[14:38] {Threei} kind of gets in the way of trading
[14:39] {Chaeron} and my typing is getting worse each day
[14:42] {Threei} half out for me
[14:42] {dawg} 1/2 out Q's .77 1:1
[14:42] {Threei} scalpers have over 1:1
[14:42] {Chaeron} #$%#
[14:43] {Threei} if you think Chaeron is upset about missing a play, think again
[14:44] {Threei} he is upset because he hoped for a stop, looked forward to 5 years of fun in that monastery
[14:44] {Chaeron} they have my room ready at a moment's notice
[14:44] {Threei} stop .64 for the balance
[14:45] {Threei} out
[14:45] {dawg} out
[14:46] {Threei} low is about to get retested
[14:46] {Threei} broken
[14:47] {Threei} good trail for the balance
[14:47] {Threei} PRU under 18, mama mia
[14:49] {Threei} now, every time we touched recent lows and penetrated them, we got that crazy snapback rally
[14:49] {Chaeron} sheesh PRU was 88 2 mos ago........
[14:49] {Threei} uhhu
[14:49] {Threei} that's why I switched to italian
[14:50] {Threei} NQ last low was 1108
[14:50] {Threei} just 6 points away
[14:50] {Chaeron} so enter where? :)
[14:50] {Threei} FED'S STERN: FED COULD CUT RATES BELOW 1% IF CONDITIONS WARRANT
[14:50] {Threei} - Deflation worries are 'premature'
[14:51] {Threei} are we going for zero rates environemnt?
[14:51] {Chaeron} hold out... maybe they can pay US to take out a loan
[14:52] {Threei} that policy didn't do much good for Japan
[14:52] {Threei} and in fct trapped it in a decade-long stagnation
[14:53] {Chaeron} and you think that the people in power here are any brighter????
[14:53] {Threei} god forbid
[14:53] {Threei} I just hope they can read
[14:53] {Threei} so they go wikipedia
[14:53] {Threei} and read an article on liquidity trap
[14:54] {Geo} damn legacy graduates
[14:54] {Chaeron} I think that we have more brains and talent in this room.......
[14:54] {Geo} why thank you chaeron

Nov 17 2008

Meaningless listless up and down, narrow and with no rhyme or rythm. Useless day. Win some, lose some, finished the day slightly in red. Fortunately, ceased activity just in time to stop accumulating needless stops.

[10:06] {lisa_jay} Another morning of needing to book quick profits.
[10:06] {Threei} a lot of indecisiveness in the market so far

[11:25] {Threei} ask him if he has any pills helping to turn charts in your eyes upside down
[11:25] {dptl} lol
[11:25] {Threei} would be a pleasure to find we had a big bull market over last year
[11:26] {Threei} and if market starts rallying for real, you just stop taking pills
[11:26] {Threei} simple as that - permanent bull market, nomatter what
[11:27] {KSystems} they should sell those pills for accounts as well
[11:27] {KSystems} not only charts
[11:28] {Threei} eve better idea
[11:28] {Threei} a lot of investors would have gladly bought couple boxes of pills
[11:34] {Threei} great
[11:34] {Threei} look at UAUA

[11:50] {Threei} also, C
[11:50] {Threei} has a good shot at big recovery today
[11:51] {dino} urbn out .79, +.19
[11:51] {dino} too tight
[11:52] {hawkfan4} CIT 4, stop .94
[11:54] {muddleheaded} We might have a buy anything move here.

[12:24] {dino} emr sm l .00
[12:29] {Threei} sheesh, finding an entry is next to impossible
[12:29] {Threei} what a wierd way for market to rally today
[12:30] {Threei} sorry peter
[12:30] {Threei} weird
[12:30] {Threei} OK, if this pattern hold, then Qs should be a buy around 29
[12:31] {Threei} C around .60
[12:31] {Threei} DELL is questionable
[12:31] {Threei} UAUA I hate
[12:35] {Threei} C won't pull back anymore
[12:37] {Threei} US APPEALS COURT REINSTATES 2004 KICKBACKS CASE AGAINST HIG
[12:37] {Threei} jeez
[12:38] {Threei} not only there is a case for kickbacks, but it also was "made to go away" at some point?
[12:38] {Threei} OK, getting interested in C
[12:38] {dino} sm l met .51
[12:40] {Threei} .64 - .65 C long if holding .60
[12:50] {Geo} c is lagging...
[12:51] {Geo} didnt really follow the market well.....
[12:51] {Threei} yeah, tired a bit
[12:51] {Geo} good trading all.... off to work -96 today
[12:51] {Threei} take care geo
[12:51] {Threei} useless day so far
[12:51] {Geo} yeah :(
[12:58] {Threei} messy charts
[13:11] {laserdave1} dawg dcc please
[13:14] {dino} it's like breakouts are a failed stategy anymore
[13:14] {Threei} today for sure
[13:15] {Threei} breaks are false, followed by immediate pullback, and pullbacks are impossible to buy since they bottom out at random levels
[13:15] {dino} it's like you can read my mind
[13:15] {lisa_jay} And to add to that profits are slippery.
[13:15] {Threei} nah, we are just l;oking at the same charts
[13:16] {laserdave1} KSystems dcc please
[13:16] {Threei} laserdave is on dcc rampage
[13:16] {laserdave1} laserdave dcc please
[13:16] {laserdave1} :)

[13:18] {Threei} but everyone upon connection to the room gets this automessage
[13:19] {Threei} with brief instiruction how to use trout and very short list of names to slap
[13:19] {Threei} very very short list
[13:19] {laserdave1} hahahhahaha
[13:19] {Threei} I mean extremely short
[13:20] {Threei} in fact, competition for that list was so severe
[13:20] {Threei} just one name made it
06[13:20] * KSystems slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:20] {Threei} OK, now you are venturing outside of that list
[13:20] {laserdave1} see what happens when u try to be funny
[13:21] {Threei} nothing really happens... unfortunately :(
[13:22] {Threei} IMF'S LIPSKY: GLOBAL STIMULUS AT APPROX 2% OF WORLD GDP IS JUSTIFIED, MANY ADVANCED AND EMERGING ECONOMIES CAN AFFORD TO EASE MONETARY POLICY
[13:22] {Threei} - Fiscal stimulus is more effective when implemented among key trading partners at the same time.
[13:22] {Threei} - Deleveraging will likely shift risk spreads to reduced volumes.
[13:22] {Threei} - Short-term liquidity facility may become part of the IMF's policy toolkit.
[13:22] {Threei} - The financial crisis has shown the limits of regulatory and supervisory regimes at the domestic and international levels
[13:24] {Threei} what's this deal with pirates and oil tanker
[13:24] {Threei} I mean, how do you hijack the tanker??

[13:29] {Threei} I know it was amercy laugh but I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless
[13:30] {lisa_jay} No quiet funny...better then entering a trade b/c bored.
06[13:30] * Chaeron slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:31] {Chaeron} Threei has me confused with magoo
[13:37] {Threei} on a contrary... magoo told me he knows how but he is not taking me along, he'll do it himself
[13:46] {Threei} this reminds me beginning of last week... started out very slowly and boring too
[13:53] {Threei} C... going to try .35 long with stop under .30

Nov 14 2008

Another dramatic day (seems that's the only kind left). At some point the following assumption was made:

[11:44] {Threei} my assumption is, at certain point we will see at least attempt to repeat yesterday, not necessary as successful as yeaterday but tradable nonetheless

which proved to be accurate. We got a few nice trades off that. Backed off just in time not to get caught into end of day drop.


Session Time: Fri Nov 14 00:00:01 2008

[08:27] {magoo} kkjbaskeihsdj
[08:29] {Threei} good morning
[08:30] {Threei} OCT IMPORT PRICE INDEX M/M: -4.7% V -4.4%E
[08:30] {Threei} *OCT ADVANCE RETAIL SALES: -2.8% V -2.1%E; LESS AUTOS: -2.2% V -1.2%E
[08:31] {Threei} FED'S BERNANKE: WORLD CENTRAL BANKS STAND READY TO TAKE MORE STEPS IF NECESSARY, VOLATILITY AND RECENT DATA SHOW THAT CHALLENGES REMAIN
[08:31] {Threei} (CA) SEPT NEW MOTOR VEHICLE SALES M/M: 2.5 % V 1.0%E
[08:38] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:40] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:42] {magoo} so vad..working theories for today
[08:43] {magoo} 1) another bummer 1 daty wonder...now pain
[08:43] {magoo} 2) bottom is in...start rocking up
[08:43] {magoo} 3) headfake up...big pain eod
[08:44] {Threei} IMO, odds are it's a mix of two, meaning:
[08:44] {Threei} bottom is in but not much of rocking today
[08:44] {Threei} my thinking is
[08:44] {Threei} line in the sand seems to be drawn,
[08:45] {Threei} market shakes out but refuses to give up whenever lows are challenged
[08:45] {Threei} and as soon as we retest those lows, big money jumps in
[08:45] {Threei} and buy everything in sight.
[08:46] {Threei} However, during recent weeks, there were so many bottom callers
[08:46] {Threei} and media pumped the idea of "staying the course" so loudly
[08:47] {Threei} that possibly some more of passengers elimination is needed before train can leave the station.
[08:47] {Threei} The ideal way to do it is probably to continue this gut-wrenching volatility for a while
[08:48] {Threei} especially considering quite a few unknowns justifying the lack of confidence
[08:48] {Threei} automakers destiny,
[08:48] {Threei} G-20 meeting (which is not likely to produce anything but a lot of noise)
[08:49] {Threei} new administration being shaped up
[08:49] {Threei} which adds to uncertainty as crew members naming will give a clue to policies ahead
[08:50] {Threei} so... working assumption for now would be to remain with scalping at the beginning of the day taking only safe and "obvious" setups,
[08:50] {Threei} watch for signs of continuation,
[08:50] {Threei} (which includes watching dino's gut)
[08:51] {Threei} if we see signs of this reckless "come hell or high water" buying - start deploying umbrella strategy
[08:51] {magoo} ah man..not that
[08:51] {Threei} sorry mags, but you'll have to do it for common good
[08:52] {Threei} sacrfices will be required from all comrades
[08:53] {Threei} btw... today is expiration of something, isn't it
[08:56] {lisa_jay} Good morning
[08:56] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:57] {_maga} good morning all
[08:57] {Threei} maga :)
[08:57] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:57] {Threei} onix :)
[08:57] {_maga} very interesting explanation you made
[08:58] {_maga} Vad
[08:58] {Threei} about dino's gut?
[08:58] {Threei} sorry... smart a$$ remark :)
[08:58] {_maga} your idea about the today situation
[08:59] {Threei} it's our traditional approach maga... based on major tape reading principle
[08:59] {Threei} market seeks ways to deliver maximum pain
[08:59] {_maga} this is the incredible thing to me
[08:59] {Threei} one of such ways is to establish trends having as few people on board as possible
[09:00] {Threei} if there are too many passengers, shakeouts are needed
[09:00] {_maga} but thinking about it .. i t makes sense..
[09:00] {Threei} market wants a lot of passengers at final stages of the move, not at early ones
[09:00] {Threei} because it'as final stages where the unloading takes place
[09:00] {Threei} and market needs crowd to unload to
[09:01] {Threei} have you read TTR?
[09:01] {_maga} yes like a balloon that cannot start to fly if too heavy of people
[09:02] {_maga} yes Vad, I did... and it is very very interesting
[09:02] {Threei} OK{ then you know major underlying ideas of this approach
[09:03] {_maga} it is the first time I found explained a good reason for those so frequent spikes up or down that alway drove me crazy .
[09:04] {Threei} most important things is, opnce you understand where they are coming from you get a ways to turn them to your advantage and profit from them
[09:06] {Geo} gm all
[09:07] {Threei} geo :)
[09:07] {_maga} by the way on those major idea... yesterday for the first time after weeks I left open a future on the index ... so happy today :-)
[09:08] {_maga} by the way... the italian index... money is already safe..
[09:09] {Onix} hi geo
[09:10] {lisa_jay} Hi Geo.
[09:10] {patience} blissful friday, good morning RT :)
[09:10] {Threei} patience :)
[09:12] {Onix} hi patience
06[09:12] * magoo slaps patience around a bit with a large trout
[09:13] {patience} patience rubs magoo's tummy to see if market will go up
[09:13] {dino} gm all
[09:14] {lisa_jay} Hi Patience, Dino
[09:14] {patience} hi dino, lisa_jay :)
[09:15] {Threei} dino :)
[09:15] {dino} gm lisa, patience
[09:16] {Onix} morning dino
[09:18] {dino} gm
[09:19] {dino} q? is can we get thru 8945 obama high from 10-07
[09:20] {dptl} good morning all
[09:20] {patience} g20 meeting this weekend discussing finances...my guess is yes dino
[09:21] {muddleheaded} Hi everybody.
[09:22] {Threei} dp, mudd :)
[09:22] {Onix} hi dp; mh
[09:22] {dptl} :)
[09:25] {ese} morning...
[09:25] {Threei} ese :)
[09:25] {Onix} hi ese
[09:26] {ese} interesting rally yesterday.....any of you alll take advantage.....
[09:26] {ese} hey onix
[09:26] {Threei} sure did
[09:26] {Threei} let's pick our index followers
[09:26] {Threei} depending on volatility you are willing to ednure:
[09:26] {Threei} ADBE, INTC, DELL, UAUA, GG
[09:27] {_maga} those are the index followers ...... and may I ask you with are the "salmons"
[09:28] {_maga} ? ;-)
[09:28] {_maga} with=which
[09:28] {Threei} salmons is something we need to hunt for throughout the day
[09:28] {Threei} it's not a permanent characteristic of any stock
[09:29] {Threei} watch for a stock that keeps JBE during market pullback
[09:29] {_maga} yes ... it is right.... this is the Reality world
[09:29] {Threei} that's your likely salmon candidate
[09:30] {_maga} ok got it... TX
[09:33] {Threei} UAUA did couple teleprotations
[09:33] {Threei} watch for sharp down into .30 area
[09:33] {Threei} if NQ moves up quickly, you have a few seconds to grab it and exit around .50
[09:36] {Threei} Long Setup: INTC 14 break if stays above 13.90
[09:36] {Threei} watch for market help
[09:36] {Threei} your ideal entry is if NASDAQ moves up sharply and INTC gives little delay for entry
[09:37] {Threei} with this break of support turns into bounce candidate rather, again with quick NQ spike only
[09:43] {Threei} Long Setup: CIT 4.15
[09:43] {Threei} let it pullback a little
[09:43] {Threei} stop would be under 4
[09:43] {Geo} in .155
[09:44] {Threei} :)
[09:44] {Threei} half out
[09:44] {dino} sm l aapl .60
[09:44] {Geo} all out .44
[09:45] {hawkfan4} gj geo
[09:45] {dino} aapl stopped -.36
[09:46] {Geo} i have made 400 my full lot
[09:46] {Threei} go home
[09:46] {Geo} lookiong back..... i dont handle 1k well :)
[09:46] {Geo} looking
[09:47] {Threei} (US) FDIC UNVEILS PLAN TO MODIFY 2.2M MORTGAGE LOANS
[09:47] {Threei} - The plan works to lower monthly payments for homeowners by offering mortgage servicers incentives to modify loans
[09:48] {dino} gj geo
[09:48] {Geo} TY
[09:48] {lisa_jay} Nice Geo...Missed CIT, was in INTC.
[09:48] {Geo} yeah didnt take intc
[09:48] {Threei} how did you structure the play lisa?
[09:49] {lisa_jay} Entered at .91
[09:49] {Threei} with stop .84 I take it
[09:49] {lisa_jay} Yes.
[09:49] {Threei} exited any?
[09:50] {Onix} ty Vad, i got .9 in INTC
[09:50] {lisa_jay} No....should have done at .01 (1:1)
[09:50] {Threei} onix :)
[09:50] {Threei} OK, NQ is spiking, offer half
[09:50] {lisa_jay} Ok.
[09:52] {Threei} the way NASDAQ shapes is,
[09:52] {Threei} NQ breaking 1220 should star a rally
[09:52] {Threei} losing 1205, we are on hold
[09:53] {Threei} so, if you are lookinh at Qs for a play, that would be 30 break
[09:53] {Threei} want to see some consolidation close to it, not just sharp spike into 30
[09:53] {wishbone} gm all
[09:53] {Threei} wishbone :)
[09:54] {Onix} hi wishbone
[09:54] {muddleheaded} What timefrime do you look at the NQ?
[09:54] {Threei} 1 min
[09:54] {muddleheaded} O.K.
[09:55] {dino} aapl sm l .25
[09:55] {Threei} *NOV PRELIMINARY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: 57.9 V 56.2E
[09:55] {Threei} guess wgho is salmon so far...
[09:55] {Threei} LVS
[09:56] {Threei} this is sharp spike into resistance
[09:56] {Threei} not taking this break
[09:56] {lisa_jay} qqqq 30
[09:56] {Threei} need pullback with tight consolidation
[09:56] {dino} gap fill coming dji
[09:57] {Threei} or move higher, then pullback into 30 to buy near new support
[09:57] {Threei} see this sharp down spike?
[09:57] {lisa_jay} yes
[09:58] {Threei} that's how these traps work, when resistance is broke by vertical move instead of consolidation
[09:58] {lisa_jay} Wow...thanks Vad.
[09:59] {Threei} Qs for scalp now

[11:22] {magoo} uh, carry the 3..+ .43??
[11:22] {magoo} nope, .36
[11:23] {magoo} see AAPL now??it was good trade but u gotta LAY OUT
[11:23] {dino} met sm l .75, forgot about order
[11:23] {dawg} yes was trying to follow your layout but lost my nerve magoo
[11:23] {magoo} SIGH..vad never compliments my calls...never
[11:24] {Threei} I don't?
[11:24] {magoo} shot of vodka builds nerve dawg
[11:24] {dawg} out DELL from .72 + 12
[11:25] {magoo} but now it would be killing us...if IF missed exit
[11:25] {dawg} yes it does and i am heading for one about now
[11:27] {dino} dawg, you the dog
[11:28] {dawg} have one on me dino it's friday...
[11:29] {dino} why thank you, indeed i will, several most likely
[11:29] {lisa_jay} Wuld that be a volume spike on Dell Vad?
[11:29] {Threei} ?
[11:30] {lisa_jay} 11:25?
[11:30] {Threei} doesn't mean anything
[11:30] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[11:33] {magoo} where u located dawg?ill stop in local pub tonight..im free man this weekend
[11:35] {dawg} portland oregon dino
[11:35] {lisa_jay} lvs vad?
[11:36] {dawg} portland oregon magoo i'll buy the first and second rounds
[11:36] {Threei} 6.50 break if holding above 6.40 lisa
[11:36] {Threei} not very high odds
[11:36] {Threei} kind of marginal setup
[11:37] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks Vad
[11:39] {dino} dji lod
[11:44] {Threei} my assumption is, at certain point we will see at least attempt to repeat yesterday
[11:45] {Threei} not necessary as successful as yeaterday but tradable nonetheless
[11:46] {Threei} hard to spot at the very beginning, but once couple higher lows is made, it will be a reason for long entries
[11:53] {dawg} out Dell in .78 out .91
[11:54] {Threei} :)
[11:54] {Threei} watching Qs here
[11:54] {lisa_jay} nice, i chickend out.
[11:54] {Threei} .33 long with .25 stop
[11:54] {Threei} this will be first attempt to get on that rally
[11:55] {Threei} invalidated, turned in bounce off .20
[11:58] {lisa_jay} how to play
[11:58] {Threei} watch for it to form harrow range,
[11:58] {Threei} let's say .15 - .20
[11:58] {dino} want to see lows hold
[11:59] {Threei} then buy .21
[12:00] {Geo} off to work... thanks all.... had a decent day
[12:00] {Threei} :)
[12:00] {Geo} have a great weekend
[12:00] {Threei} you too
[12:00] {Chaeron} bye Geo
[12:01] {dino} broken
[12:01] {lisa_jay} Vad, I bought .21...not sure it was right (got stopped out at .14)....Should i have waited for more consolidation?
[12:01] {Threei} I don't think so lisa
[12:02] {Threei} it could work just eas easily
[12:02] {Threei} that was kind of defining moment - bottom is in or new lows are in order,
[12:02] {Threei} whether you entry or whether you wait is a metter of your aggressiveness
[12:02] {Threei} matter
[12:03] {lisa_jay} So it is just 50:50 trade...(since agressive entry)
[12:03] {Threei} some prefer to wait for more confirmation, making it safer but risking to miss part of the move,
[12:03] {Threei} some perfer to try it risking small stop but taking a short at capturing bigger part of move
[12:04] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[12:04] {Threei} pretty much a matter of personal preference
[12:08] {magoo} u playing full lots on q?
[12:09] {Threei} I do
[12:09] {Threei} it's liquid, easy to get in and out
[12:14] {lisa_jay} 50% ret. for q's?
[12:15] {muddleheaded} Is this finally the bounce?
[12:16] {Threei} all we can do is try
[12:16] {Threei} .15 would be a trigger
[12:16] {Threei} .05 support to hold
[12:18] {Threei} didn't hold, no go for that setup
[12:19] {dino} urbn l .40, stop lod
[12:21] {lisa_jay} .15 q's break still valid Vad?
[12:22] {Threei} no
[12:22] {Threei} sgharop spike into resistance
[12:22] {Threei} not what I want to buy
[12:22] {lisa_jay} ok
[12:23] {lisa_jay} wow. this concept alone is a gem.
[12:24] {Threei} hah
[12:24] {Threei} read TTR, you'll find pages chock full of such gems :)
[12:24] {lisa_jay} Seeing it real time is amazing though..twice today.

[11:15] {Threei} it's a momo play
[11:15] {hawkfan4} yeah, can't get a feel for it yet
[11:15] {Threei} they rarely follow technical patterns, more like a matter of whether momo returns or dies
[11:15] {dino} pru stopped done w/it it's broken
[11:22] {hawkfan4} stoped LVS -.10. had 2:1 but froze like a deer in mags headlights

[11:38] {Threei} who does he expect to design a plan for him?
[11:39] {muddleheaded} A bailout plan given to him.
[11:39] {Threei} watching FMCN pullback
[11:39] {Threei} will be interesting near 7
[11:42] {Threei} didn't go that low
[11:42] {Threei} let's try it this way then
[11:42] {Threei} Long Setup: FMCN .23 if holding above .10, half lot

[11:52] {Threei} market is jerky
[11:53] {lisa_jay} yup
[11:53] {Threei} and FMCN is wounded stock
[11:53] {dawg} scalping FMCN Vad?
[11:53] {Threei} I think so
[11:53] {Threei} maybe do this:
[11:53] {Threei} stop to right under .30,
[11:53] {Threei} and see if it breaks that .34 offer
[11:53] {Threei} it does, great
[11:54] {Threei} it loses .30, just take little scalp and let it be
[11:54] {dawg} OK .34 is where I am offering
[11:55] {dawg} out taking .28
[11:55] {dawg} Thanks Vad good call
[11:55] {Threei} welcome,
[11:55] {Threei} watch that big offer chasing it down
[11:55] {Threei} it may indicate new entry when taken
[11:56] {dawg} OK

[12:02] {dino} pru sm l .50 trigger, wide
[12:06] {dino} no trig
[12:10] {Threei} sheesh... even simple talk about your bet has stopped market dead in its tracks
[12:11] {dino} lol
[12:11] {dino} if we could only harness the power for good
[12:14] {Threei} yes you can!'
[12:15] {Threei} let Obama know you can freeze the market... you will be hired on a spot
[12:16] {Threei} charge 0.0001% of the amount market DIDN'T lose on each given day, you are insanely rich
[12:21] {dino} 8.174 was oct 28th low
[12:21] {Threei} very hard to say whether we are back to selloff pattern or this is just a trap
[12:21] {dino} 8,143 10/27
[12:22] {magoo} surprise surprise
[12:22] {magoo} mkt blows again
[12:28] {Threei} have you noticed how happy and firsky market becomes on rally attempts
[12:29] {Threei} and how slow and depressed it is when downward resumes... kid of hangs its head with sigh, "what, again?... whatever..."
[12:33] {Threei} good comment somewhere yesterday:

[12:42] {Threei} you take concept of tight stop to the extreme :)
[12:43] {Threei} along with concept of trailing it
[12:43] {lisa_jay} Yeah...well you did say tight stop...I had .99 as stop 1:1 :-)
[12:43] {Threei} .99 is good
[12:43] {Threei} but 2 cents profit... unless you had 20K shares...
[12:43] {lisa_jay} I wish.
[12:44] {dino} lisa, pick your $ pain and simply adjust size

[12:47] {dawg} stopped FMCN
[12:47] {dino} lisa, if very small then give yourself chance to make $, widen stop so not rinsed all over
[12:48] {dino} tight stops are for big shares, imo
[12:48] {lisa_jay} will try that Dino...I get stopped out very often. Only using bigger sizes for Vad's calls.
[12:49] {lisa_jay} Shares that is.

[12:52] {Threei} watching ADBE
[12:54] {Threei} what bounce market says
[12:54] {Threei} we had a shot at nice bullish sign when market went green on INTC bad guidance... didn't utilize it,

[13:20] {Geo} hmmmmmm
[13:24] {dino} gut call, we close hod's
[13:24] {lisa_jay} Yes, feel the same...could see one of those ramp ups.
[13:26] {Threei} well... if that materializes, UAUA is likely to go to about 9.50
[13:27] {Threei} and ADBE to 22.30
[13:27] {dino} adbe had good channel checks
[13:27] {Threei} timing of entry is beyond difficult
[13:28] {dino} yes, and i could be wrong
[13:28] {dino} coin flip

[15:09] {Threei} and fell back a little?
[15:10] {Geo} vads all about poetic analogies these days

[15:26] {Threei} The stock market has now lost about $6.9 trillion dollars since the peak. This is almost 10 times the size of the $700 billion TARP program. This is seven times the value of all subprime mortgages that were in existence in the US (around $900 billion), six times the amount at the peak of the housing boom. All the mortgage debt in the US amounts to around 11 trillion. In our words, the stock market has now lost enough value to discount that 60% of the homeowners in the US with mortgages are going to default on their mortgage. Can you say overdone?
[15:26] {Geo} i thought the stock market is just a zit on the bond market

Nov 12 2008

A few nice trades, a few stops. Profitable but most importantly, safe. I'll quote what I feel about this market:

[13:31] {Threei} for a few days now market has this frozen look... drifts down mostly, but doing it a manner of drunkard who suddenly sobers up and gets frightened. He bravely walked on a brink of chasm while drunk, then sobered up and saw where he was. When he sobers up and sees where he is and gets scared,
he is being torn between two conflicting impulses: one is to back away from the abyss, another is to close his eyes and step right in.

Abyss acts like magnet now... market can resist its pull no more than rabbit can resist snake.

[11:04] {Threei} we don't have formal treshold mudd... jujst generally avoiding low volume pukers
[11:05] {muddleheaded} O.k.
[11:06] {hawkfan4} gj dog, was gonna do the same but spilled my coffee all over my desk reaching for the mouse :)
[11:07] {dawg} i've done that too hope damage wasn't to bad
[11:07] {lisa_jay} Been there so many times that I now need a hammer to move my keybord keys.
[11:07] {dawg} lol
[11:08] {Threei} UAUA
[11:08] {Threei} bounce should be close
[11:08] {hawkfan4} lol :) missed the important stuff, just need to change my pants

[11:10] {Threei} .51 long if holding above .30
[11:11] {magoo} man vad...look at DISH chart
[11:11] {Threei} wow
[11:12] {Threei} we exited 2 cents under day high
[11:12] {Chaeron} uaua... whoops
[11:13] {Onix} yes, that was a good one for you guys
[11:13] {Onix} and i am still not crying
[11:14] {Chaeron} (everytime I see UAUA, I think of the song "Louie, Louie"... you know: Lou aay, Lou aay, whoooa, oh... We gotta go"
[11:14] {Threei} lol
[11:14] {Onix} :)

[11:20] {Threei} US TSY PAULSON: $700B NUMBER FOR BAILOUT STILL ENOUGH FOR FINANCIAL MARKET ASSISTANCE
[11:20] {dino} mcd stop to .39
[11:21] {Threei} what is truly shocking about this whole mess - constant non-ending barrage of new and new hits and speed with which they are coming
[11:22] {Threei} as soon as powers that be sell another 'fix", new problem jumps right from around the corner
[11:22] {KSystems} any idea how long this is going to last?
[11:22] {Threei} haha
[11:22] {KSystems} I mean...when are stocks going to be priced like they were before the crisis?
[11:22] {KSystems} you're invited to laugh again
[11:23] {Threei} :)
[11:24] {Threei} see, major problem as I see it is inevitabledebt contraction
[11:24] {Threei} much of "prosperity" was build on a shaky foundation of debt
[11:24] {Threei} built
[11:25] {Threei} a lot of spending was based on disposable income which, in tunr, was based on debt
[11:26] {Threei} This whole mechanism has collapsed now
[11:26] {Threei} new spending will be built on more realistic leverage
[11:27] {Threei} thus, by definition, will be mcuh more restrained
[11:27] {Threei} so, market is sorting out now who will survive,
[11:27] {Threei} who will collapse,
[11:27] {Threei} who will prosper
[11:28] {dino} dino's gut says we end around 7000 dji
[11:28] {Geo} there is an interesting article by a guy who wrote liar's poker.....

[11:44] {Threei} and if we get any sizeable bounce
[11:44] {dino} great miinds think alike, i said to magoo -500 coming, but if we bet i'll take -400

[11:49] {Threei} ECB'S STARK: THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IS "WRECKING HAVOC," DIFFICULT TO ASSESS ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
[11:50] {Threei} KS... another scary thing is (although in a certain perverted sense it's encouraging),
[11:50] {Threei} there is no place in the world that would remain relatively safe in this environment

[12:02] {Onix} something fishy going on here
[12:03] {Onix} ty magoo
[12:05] {Threei} I don't want to initiate any position here, volume died down
[12:05] {Threei} sideline
[12:05] {Threei} so... what can be done at all about GM?
[12:05] {Threei} failure puts about 3 mil jobs on the line
[12:06] {Onix} someone pulled up the emergency brakes?
[12:06] {Threei} not an option
[12:06] {Threei} how do you save it qwhen no one buys cars?
[12:07] {Onix} quite a headache hey?
[12:07] {Geo} QCOM getting pounded
[12:07] {Threei} understatement of the century...
[12:07] {Threei} all the discussions about bailing it out, I just can't understand how
[12:08] {Threei} give it money? what does it solve?
[12:08] {Onix} but next in line at the government window must be the airlines hey?
[12:08] {Threei} they'll burn through it in a few months, what's next?
[12:09] {Onix} government going to keep pumping money into GM etc?
[12:09] {Onix} as you, how can they just keep doing that?
[12:09] {Onix} rather let them go into chapter 11 and re-organize
[12:09] {Threei} current level of sales simply can't sustain the comapny
[12:10] {Geo} tought to happen as abama need to pay his dues to UAW
[12:10] {Threei} QCOM
[12:10] {Threei} CEO: COMPANY STOPPED NEW HIRING, PHONE MAKERS CUT ORDERS 'DRAMATICALLY' TO LOWER INVENTORY
[12:10] {Threei} - notes there is uncertainty in forecast
[12:13] {Onix} they call it the credit crisis
[12:13] {Threei} market is looking into abyss
[12:13] {Onix} so everything bought on credit is in real trouble with so many people losing their jobs
[12:13] {Threei} and when you do that for too long, abyss starts looking back at you
[12:14] {Geo} thats deep vad
[12:14] {muddleheaded} Anybody watching anything?
[12:14] {Threei} I want peter to be proud of me
[12:14] {Geo} in NTAP

[12:31] {peterg} market loves to give pain then

[12:50] {Threei} right
[12:50] {lisa_jay} Ok thanks Vad, Dino.
[12:50] {Threei} levels of support/resistanve are for watching around them, not for entry per se
[12:50] {dawg} OK learned on that one then

[13:11] {Threei} very strange market here I must say
[13:11] {dino} as opposed to?
[13:11] {Threei} lol
[13:11] {peterg} warm and friendly, cuddly market
[13:11] {dino} pretty much the normal since sept. 1st
[13:12] {KSystems} probably its not the market but us
[13:12] {Threei} todays is stranger
[13:12] {peterg} retek nart dardlep
[13:12] {Threei} slow drift down,,, slow drift up...
[13:12] {muddleheaded} Does anybody use pivot points on the indices?
[13:12] {Onix} its all slippery with blood with the bulls and bears fighting so much
[13:13] {Threei} lol onix
[13:13] {Threei} as general idea of support/resistance levels, mudd
[13:18] {dino} intra-day and natural ones
[13:18] {Onix} what you think of KG Vad?
[13:19] {Threei} .50 if holding above .40 would be a standard play
[13:19] {Threei} I just don't trust it
[13:19] {Onix} ty
[13:20] {lisa_jay} FISV?
[13:20] {magoo} KG? pretty good basket ball player
[13:20] {Threei} same thing, only more volatile and risky
[13:21] {peterg} he left minnesota for boston
[13:21] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Vad.
[13:21] {Onix} just what you sid Vad, look at KG now!
[13:21] {Onix} said
[13:22] {dino} mkts dropping imo
[13:22] {Threei} yikes
[13:23] {magoo} jesus..does paulen even get a bathrm brteak lol
[13:23] {KSystems} is he still speaking??
[13:24] {Onix} his full-time job is to prop up the markets, didn't you know?
[13:24] {magoo} oh..i looked up..guess it was news story
[13:24] {Threei} lol
[13:24] {dino} and he does a terrible job at it. should just hire a motivational speaker
[13:25] {Onix} :)
[13:26] {dino} brb
[13:27] {Threei} dino may have figured it out
[13:27] {Threei} market needs Tony Robbins
[13:28] {Onix} i think rather Robbin Williams
[13:28] {KSystems} LOL
[13:31] {Threei} for a few days now market has this frozen look
[13:32] {peterg} snow on ground in MN -- could be a connection?
[13:33] {Threei} drifts down mostly, but doing it a manner of drunkard who suddenly sobers up and gets frightened
[13:33] {Onix} lol
[13:33] {magoo} see..even u have become lulled and complacent..this USED to be a big down day..280 down
[13:33] {Threei} bravely walked on a brink of chasm while drunk,
[13:33] {magoo} now its no big deal
[13:33] {Threei} sobered up and saw where he was
[13:34] {Threei} it's not even about the size of red mags...
[13:34] {peterg} So, maggers, what does it all mean?
[13:34] {Threei} it's the fashion in which it's done that creates this wierd feeling
[13:34] {Threei} to further my analogy and try to explain what I feel...
[13:35] {Onix} smart money is either all out already, or they can not make up their mind
[13:35] {Threei} when he sobers up and sees where he is and gets scared,
[13:35] {peterg} then
[13:35] {peterg} he
[13:35] {Threei} he is being torn between two conflicting impulses
[13:35] {Threei} one is to back away from the abyss
[13:36] {Geo} back
[13:36] {Threei} another is to close his eyes and step right in
[13:36] {Onix} all aboard? ... going down!
[13:36] {Geo} we in anything?
[13:36] {Threei} no
[13:36] {Onix} nope
[13:36] {Geo} thanks
[13:36] {Threei} seriously guys
[13:36] {Threei} I am not trying to be cute
[13:36] {peterg} Captain of balloon ride in colorado explained to me my fear was from my wish to jump
[13:36] {Threei} (not that I have any chance to succeed in that)
[13:37] {peterg} Im following you vad
[13:37] {Threei} this is how I feel watching market last few days
[13:37] {Onix} too much vodka?
[13:37] {Threei} sigh... I have no chance to be taken seriously, do I :)
[13:38] {Onix} lol
[13:38] {Onix} sorry, i agre with you, it is real stange these last few days in the markets
[13:40] {dino} feels like nobody cares...apathy
[13:40] {peterg} My bellweather stock, GE, is tanking further
[13:41] {Onix} i don't hope it is going to be like this for the next 69 days until Obama takes the reigns
[13:41] {peterg} Sold this summer.
[13:41] {peterg} If its like this, Onix, you
[13:41] {Threei} dino... strikes me as
[13:41] {Threei} ummm
[13:41] {peterg} will have to keep your day job
[13:41] {Onix} so true
[13:41] {dino} yes?
[13:42] {Threei} not apathy but rather being horrified of inevitable
[13:42] {Threei} scared to death of it,
[13:42] {Threei} scarewd to face it,
[13:42] {Threei} and not seeing any way to avoid it
[13:42] {peterg} who said, "the horror, the horror...."?
[13:42] {peterg} anyone?
[13:42] {dino} apocolaspse(?) now
[13:42] {peterg} rihngt
[13:43] {peterg} from book
[13:43] {peterg} by conrad
[13:43] {Threei} all thinkable lifelines thrown in, used up and didn't help
[13:43] {hawkfan4} Col. Kurtz
[13:43] {peterg} heart of darkness
[13:43] {Geo} rumor is..... being paid to wait till jan 20
[13:43] {peterg} yes yes!
[13:43] {Geo} lol
[13:43] {peterg} so maybe vad it is just too awful even for us to think about
[13:44] {peterg} lost in space
[13:44] {Threei} well, our advantage is ability to control risk
[13:44] {Threei} stay away if needed
[13:44] {dino} the way i see it, they must let capitalism work, so ineviably bankruptcies must occur, bondholders must be paid off, not in principle, but new stock, and contracts must be broken. then start over
[13:44] {peterg} yup
[13:44] {Threei} cut losses short if needed
[13:44] {Threei} grab obvious profits when they are there
[13:44] {Threei} exactly what we did these lat few days
[13:45] {peterg} good, but difficult for a young seventeen year old like myself
[13:45] {dino} yes vad, it is a daytraders world for now
[13:45] {Threei} I am afraid in today's situation it's not going to happen dino
[13:45] {Threei} not with incoming administration
[13:45] {dino} agreed, thats why it will take twice as long
[13:45] {Threei} not after all these endless bailouts
[13:46] {peterg} where does this money end up?
[13:46] {Threei} they will dig deeper and deeper hole in hope to make another generation pay for it
[13:46] {dino} north korea closing border jan. 1st. another obama test in the making
[13:46] {peterg} truly the curse of living in interesting times
[13:46] {Threei} really, do you see new prez ditching UAW?
[13:46] {peterg} not going to happen
[13:46] {peterg} apparently
[13:47] {peterg} detroit has been a pit for forty years or more
[13:47] {peterg} sorry if i offend people
[13:47] {dino} you don't
[13:47] {Threei} light at the end of the tunnel for us is
[13:47] {dino} not me at least
[13:47] {peterg} gotcha
[13:47] {Threei} [13:46] {peterg} where does this money end up?
[13:47] {peterg} ya
[13:47] {Threei} that's what will work eventually for us as traders
[13:48] {Threei} trillions on a sideline
[13:48] {peterg} ahhah
[13:48] {Threei} sooner or later they will pour in
[13:48] {Threei} and prop the markets in bull frenzy
[13:48] {Threei} timing is tough but it will be well worth the wait
[13:48] {peterg} back to dino
[13:49] {peterg} jungle image
[13:49] {peterg} correct
[13:49] {Threei} we got first taste of it on days when market did 1000 points green
[13:49] {lisa_jay} sigh..FISV, would have gone to 32.85 if i had bought.
[13:49] {lisa_jay} oh well.
[13:49] {Threei} shrug it off lisa... was random one
[13:49] {Threei} 50/50
[13:49] {lisa_jay} Yes, learning to read patterns though. Thanks.
[13:50] {peterg} lisa, you are inspriation tolazy me to learn patterns.
[13:50] {lisa_jay} Actually got it from Dawg.
[13:51] {peterg} Thanks all o yez
[13:51] {dawg} dogs back on the pipe
[13:51] {peterg} smokin?
[13:51] {lisa_jay} Hot.
[13:51] {dawg} but thanks Lisa
[13:52] {peterg} back in hr. Nobody make money til then.
[13:52] {lisa_jay} With the market the way it is, you can wake us up when you get back.
[13:54] {Threei} abyss is a magnet
[13:54] {lisa_jay} yes
[13:56] {dino} lod coming
[13:56] {Threei} today shapes up as one of those days
[13:56] {Threei} serously exceeding "normal - 300"
[13:57] {Threei} you are going to win that bet with magoo, dino
[13:57] {Threei} to quote outgoing prez... "this sucker is going down"
[13:58] {Onix} lol
[14:00] {Onix} but if market goes down much more, government will have to start bailing out pension funds as well
[14:01] {Threei} you know... as far as big economic picure is concerned, I just don't have any points of reference to try and create any kind of forecast
[14:02] {Threei} unfortunately, events show neither do decision-makers
[14:02] {Threei} I mean, what does collapse of this and that and that implicate?
[14:02] {Threei} when GM, F, MS, GE are down and out,
[14:02] {Threei} when pnesion funds are ruined
[14:03] {Threei} whart happens next?
[14:03] {dino} pension funds are already insured by govt., pension guanatee assoc.
[14:03] {Threei} this is where I have major troubles dino
[14:03] {dino} annuities just got tarp, think insurors
[14:03] {Threei} who insures the govt?
[14:03] {Onix} maybe that is what is was like recovering after WWI & II?
[14:03] {patience} my theory is businss becomes predominantly foreign owned in the U.S.
[14:04] {Threei} what happens when the govt that insures everyone goes bust?
[14:04] {dino} printing presses do 3i, we will be shorting dollar and bonds very shortly
[14:04] {patience} u.s. taxes have to go up to pay today's promises
[14:04] {KSystems} Look at Iceland, its happened there
[14:05] {Onix} if states like California can go bust, then the whole UA can also go bust
[14:05] {Threei} I don't know about foreign ownership... seems the rest of the world has it even worse than US
[14:05] {Onix} new world leader (China) will emerge
[14:06] {Threei} this I truly doubt
[14:06] {lisa_jay} qqqq's at lower end of the channel.
[14:06] {dino} you are clouded by silly academic ideas (w/respect intended). the politicians and bankers know the only way out is to inflate it away. right now dollar and bonds are going up, but to pay it off "cheaper", we must print around the clock, de-valuing bonds, dollar, etc. so if dolar drops 30%, we save $200 billion...see
[14:07] {Threei} this I understand dino
[14:07] {Threei} what I don't is,
[14:07] {dino} they understand this, and joe sixpack keeps his (no 30% less) pension
[14:07] {Threei} devaluation of dollar relative to what?
[14:07] {Threei} whole world has to print
[14:07] {Threei} and inflate the way out of problem
[14:07] {dino} gold, oiul, china, etc
[14:07] {dino} oil
[14:08] {dino} another commodity boom in the making imo
[14:08] {dawg} short Q's .06 out .94 for a dime scalp
[14:08] {Onix} we are going to press the reset button and start from scratch
[14:09] {dino} hmmm, again w/respect intended.....do not over think it, inflation is coming soon. obama will be dealing w/carter like environment. rates
[14:11] {dino} cycles are just coming faster these days, imo
[14:11] {Onix} we are fairly protected up here in Canada from all the economic turmoil at this stage
[14:11] {Onix} but i feel real sorry for all the millions losing their jobs in the USA
[14:12] {dino} don't misunderstand me. there will be plenty of opprtunities
[14:12] {dino} ty onix
[14:14] {lisa_jay} Nice one Dawg.
[14:14] {Threei} market does go down as we foresaw... problem is, I can't find safe entry points
[14:15] {dino} same problem, my mind resists shorting when down 750 dji points since fri close
[14:15] {dino} 8.5%
[14:15] {Threei} what a mess
[14:16] {dino} agreed

[08:42] {lisa_jay} Hey Magoo.

[08:44] {KSystems} Good morning

[08:44] {Threei}  ks :)

[08:44] {KSystems} Hey Vad...slept well?

[08:45] {Threei}  yes thank you... why?

[08:46] {KSystems} er

[08:46] {KSystems} just chit-chatting

[08:46] {KSystems} this is embarassing...asking "why" on such a question :-}

[08:46] {Threei}  ah... well, forgive me for not catching on that - not many want to chit-chat with me without strong necesity :()

[08:48] {lisa_jay} Hey...not true.

[08:48] {KSystems} see, you've got friends

[08:48] {lisa_jay} How was the coffee Vad? :-)

[08:49] {Threei}  wow... shapes up as an unusually good morning :)

[08:49] {KSystems} *shush* you must ask "Why" now

[08:50] {Threei}  no, I already got the trend: europians and women are merciful on me, to the degree where they are willing to create an illusion they actually want to chat with me :)

[08:50] {KSystems} on the other hand when I tried to make coffee this morning I found out that I ran out of milk and THAT makes me kinda aggressive usually

[08:51] {Threei}  milk? in coffee?

[08:51] {Threei}  what kind of perversion is that

[08:51] {Threei}  decadent Europe....

[08:51] {KSystems} european perversion, aka the Ultimate Definition of Coffee(tm) is the Cappuchino

[08:51] {Threei}  bunch of weirdos :)

[08:55] {hawkfan4} I'm partial to Cap's brother, Al

06[08:55] * Threei proudly announces he takes his coffee black, no milk, no sugar, no cream... and he fished his own supper yesterday

[08:55] {KSystems} well thank you very much

[08:55] {Threei}  lisa... they say oolong kind is even more effective than coffee as an awakener

[08:56] {lisa_jay} Should try it.

06[08:56] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout

[08:57] {Threei}  they also say trout beats tem both

[08:58] {KSystems} I should try squeezing some trout into the coffee

[09:22] {Threei}  well... after it's been in 400 area, 175 looks good, doesn't it :)

[09:23] {dino} indeed, the .50 is "normal" times

[09:23] {Onix} even with it so low, the banks do't seem to be lending yet?

[09:24] {Threei}  who knows for sure... they say some thaw is taking place, and expect noticeable imp[rovement around 140

[09:24] {Threei}  and lower

[09:25] {Onix} how many billion more do they need before they start lending?

[09:25] {Threei}  good question

[09:26] {Threei}  adding second portion on 2.30 break,

[09:26] {Threei}  adding third and last portion on 2.50 break

[09:27] {Threei}  if it goes for all those breaks, trailing the stop will be a matter of forming new support levels

[13:17] {peterg} Mkt in straightjacket

[13:17] {Threei}  pretty much

[13:18] {lisa_jay} Vad, on the LVS - setup was an Sym triangle (or coiling) with anticipation of breakout?

[13:18] {Threei}  pullback after sharp spike

[13:19] {Threei}  found support, started chewing through resistance

[13:19] {Threei}  formed tight enough range

[13:20] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.

[13:22] {amarg} vad, how come on lvs its having multiple orders in qty of 1000's on bid side, but it keeps on going down, shouldn't the price reflect demand

[13:23] {Threei}  that's static picture

[13:23] {Threei}  what matters is dynamic,

[13:23] {Threei}  whether those orders get hit or not

[13:23] {Threei}  if there are a lot of bids but sellers are willing to sell into them, they overcome the support

[13:24] {Threei}  same on offer side

[13:26] {Threei}  see these big offers getting chewed?

[13:36] {Threei}  volume is even lower than yesterday

[13:37] {Onix} what a boring way to spend a holiday

[13:40] {dawg} scalped a dime out of UAUA 12.45 break took awhile to get there

[13:41] {Threei}  :)

[13:41] {dawg} Vad.)

[13:41] {Threei}  from Reagan speech of 1984:

[13:41] {Threei}  t's a far cry from the gloom and doom of just 4 years ago. Sometimes it's hard to remember that only a short time ago people were counting America out. They were claiming that we were a nation in decline, that our best days were behind us. Inflation was running in double digits, robbing working people and the elderly of the value of their savings. Economic stagnation was throwing more and more people out of work and destroying any chance for the poor to better their lot.

[13:41] {Threei}  he auto industry, like the rest of the country, was on the edge of catastrophe. In 1980 alone, the Big Three [Chrysler Corp., Ford Motor Corp., and General Motors Corp.] lost $4 billion. And then came the recession, the culmination of years of too much taxing, spending, and regulating by those who claimed they could spend your earnings better than you could.

[13:42] {Threei}  Well, we've been determined to chart a new beginning for America. And I know that it hasn't been easy. That recession was deeper and longer than predicted. But these problems had been building up for 20 years.

[13:42] {Threei}  We were determined to find a real economic cure, not just resort, as they had so often in the past, to another political quick fix. There've been eight recessions since World War II, and seven of those were treated with quick fixes. There's no compassion in snake oil cures. We weathered that storm together, and now the Sun is shining on a strong economy and on an American automobile industry that is moving forward again.

[13:42] {Threei}  Remarks at the General Motors Assembly Plant in Orion Township, Michigan

[13:44] {Threei}  now, next quote is about how they achieved it

[13:44] {Threei}  citing it just to compare with current plans

[13:44] {Threei}  We went to work to get control of Federal spending that had been increasing 17 percent a year. We've cut that in half.

[13:44] {Threei}  Taxes had more than doubled just between 1975 and 1981, leaving working people paying taxes at a rate that only a short time before had been reserved for the extremely well-to-do. This ever-increasing tax load was driving money away from the private sector that could have been spent buying new cars or investing in new plants and equipment. With a 25-percent across-the-board tax cut, we've prevented the people from being mauled by tax increases, and we've indexed the rates so that ordinary people won't be pushed by inflation into higher and higher tax brackets.

[13:46] {KSystems} you can type fast, man

[13:46] {Threei}  uhhu

[13:46] {Threei}  and look at my spelling

[13:48] {Threei}  the only skill that is sorely lacking is reading comprehension

[13:48] {Threei}  can anyone tell me what that was that I typed?

[13:48] {Chaeron} market frisky...

[13:48] {KSystems} probably means that we have low volume today

[13:48] {Chaeron} don't know what you wrote Vad, but market responding positively

[13:48] {Threei}  oh good

[14:11] {Threei}  what the hell is going on

[14:12] {Threei}  bacchanalia of voices, all at once

[14:12] {Threei}  each pulling their own way

[14:13] {Threei}  was there any time on memory when it was so obvious that governing entities have no slightest idea what they are doing?

[14:13] {Onix} they want to change as many as possible "things" before Obama takes office

[14:14] {Onix} and only making things worse

[14:15] {Threei}  and the most depressing thing is, I used word bacchanalia and peter didn't endorse me... should I use "cacophony" as last resort??

[14:16] {peterg} plus lack of transparency where billions/trillions are going, if I understand right?

[14:16] {Threei}  oh yeah

[14:16] {peterg} Does george have an overseas account?

[14:16] {Threei}  that's the most astonishing thing

[14:16] {Onix} going for bonusses for management

[14:16] {Threei}  here is 2 trillions, use it wisely

[14:16] {Threei}  now, show what you did with it

[14:16] {Threei}  nope

[14:17] {peterg} Dick Cheney needs a few more billion; his stock in Halliburton is down a bit

[14:21] {Threei}  HEARING DEFENDED AT JEFFERIES(TIMING UNCERTAIN)

[14:21] {Threei}  OK, anyone understands how all those comments fuel this rally?

[14:22] {peterg} nope

[14:24] {Onix} i can not understand how anyone would want to buy anything in this economic climate

[14:24] {Threei}  pne encouraging thing is:

[14:24] {Threei}  one

[14:24] {Threei}  look at the volume on this upward spike vs the rest of the day

[14:25] {Threei}  onix... it will be way too late to buy when economic lcimate is good

[14:25] {Onix} yes, not bad

[14:25] {Onix} so true

[14:25] {Threei}  logic of stock market is different from Aristotle logic

[14:26] {Onix} are we going tond positive after -304?

[14:26] {lisa_jay} Look at ERTS...straight up.

[14:26] {Onix} end

[14:27] {Threei}  that wouldn't even be wide range day by today's standards

[14:28] {Threei}  Aristotle thought reason should come first, outcome second

[14:28] {Threei}  in the market is usually other way around

[14:28] {Onix} yes, we had much wider

[14:29] {magoo} vad we in anything

[14:29] {Threei}  no

[14:31] {dino} i missed it all too

[14:31] {Threei}  well... there was nothing really to iss

[14:31] {Threei}  miss

[14:31] {Threei}  I mean, there was no setup, no chart to read

[14:32] {Threei}  jusat some non-discernable comments, and market goes lalala

[14:32] {lisa_jay} Yes, ramped up really fast....

[14:46] {Threei}  AIG

[14:46] {Threei}  LARGE HOLDERS HAVE REPORTEDLY REQUESTED THE TREASURY AND FED PERMIT COMPANY TO ASSUME PRIVATE CAPITAL AND REMOVE FEDERAL OWNERSHIP AS A RESULT

[14:47] {Onix} great, now the goverment is going to get the $150B returned to them?

[14:48] {Threei}  why do I find it hard to believe

[14:48] {Onix} lol

[14:48] {Threei}  I mean...

[14:48] {Threei}  give me 150 B

[14:48] {Threei}  and try to get it back

[14:48] {Onix} :)

[14:49] {Onix} sorry already spent!

[14:49] {Threei}  you'd have to look for me somwhere on Saturn

[14:49] {dptl} lol

[14:51] {Onix} after bailing out the car companies, i suppose then comes Whirlpool & Maytag etc. because now nobody is buying their machines either?

[14:53] {dino} what about poor cicuit city?

[14:53] {Onix} exactly

[14:54] {Onix} why some and not others

[14:54] {Threei}  it's a bailout galore

[14:54] {Onix} can i go stand in line also?

[14:55] {peterg} gotta be friends w hank

[14:55] {Threei}  he has so many frineds, you can just pat his shoulder and he will think ou are one of them

[14:56] {Onix} lol

[14:56] {peterg} I am very close w. him. Just send me $1,000 and I will give you my card to give to him

[14:56] {hawkfan4} {=going to look for Hank and pat him on the shoulder

[14:57] {Onix} :)

[14:58] {peterg} For $500 more, I will inscribe an introductory bit of praise.

[15:00] {peterg} Dont tell anyone, but Hank is my half-brothrer

[15:00] {Threei}  peter... whatever you do, never ever forget your best friend me

[15:00] {Onix} he is going to be out of a job real soon though

[15:01] {Threei}  for the next 70 days at least

[15:01] {peterg} ok ok, cards for everyone online at Vads

[15:01] {Threei}  we need to get out piece of bailout before jan 21st

[15:02] {Threei}  not that bailouts end on that date, but it's going to be someone else's brother in charge

[15:02] {peterg} Right

06[15:03] * Threei stops paying his mortgage, car leases, utility bills, kids allowance, wife allowance and grocery tabs - gotta have a proof he needs solid bailout

[15:03] {Geo} ummm vad youre in victoria

[15:03] {Onix} good planning

06[15:04] * Threei books tickets to Saturn for the next day after being bailed out

[15:04] {Threei}  yes geo... so?

[15:04] {Threei}  are you going to discriminate against Victorians?

[15:05] {Threei}  or you think we don't have utility bills?

[15:05] {Geo} :)

[15:05] {Threei}  I say bailout in every pot

[15:09] {Onix} 1-minute head&shoulders forming on indexes?

[15:10] {Threei}  quite chaotic

[15:10] {Threei}  I don't think we can derive much from it

[15:12] {_maga} I see many forming C&Hs at daily high  ... look at DELL

[15:12] {Onix} who/what makes these patterns?

[15:12] {Threei}  we do

[15:12] {_maga} I follow the rules explained bu Vad in his book

[15:12] {dptl} prxl??

[15:12] {Threei}  our psyuchology

[15:13] {Onix} you mean i am an artists and i did not know it?

[15:13] {Threei}  but of course

[15:13] {Threei}  maga, on DELL... you mean C&H with break at 11.20?

[15:14] {Threei}  I'd stay away dp

[15:14] {dptl} ok ty..

[15:14] {_maga} I saw it with break at 11.6

[15:15] {Threei}  for 11.6 it never finished forming the handle part

[15:15] {Threei}  cup is formed

[15:16] {_maga} yes is still forming...  and half handle... if not invalidate

[15:16] {Threei}  a bit too deep, IMO

[15:17] {Threei}  I'd prefer it to bottom out around 11.30

[15:18] {Threei}  someone explain to me please

[15:18] {Threei}  I hear from everywhere how badly USA auomakers managed their affairs, build wrong cars etc

[15:19] {Threei}  why is no one talking abiout how unions bled them to death with unfathomable obligations

[15:19] {Threei}  that put them at such financial disadvantage vs TM etc

[15:20] {Threei}  that even though japanes and German automakers built gas-hyngry cars as well

[15:20] {Onix} yes, the unions organized themselves out of a job now

[15:20] {Threei}  it was not an even playing field simply on that basis

[15:21] {Threei}  it's not like everyone stopped buying GM and F cars now but still buys Toyotas

[15:21] {Threei}  they are all experiencing similar drops in sales

[15:22] {Onix} TM just a little less than the others

[15:23] {dino} the unions supported the democrats, they are giving them what they want, simple politics 3i, we support you if you don't let them file bankruptcy and break union contracts

[15:23] {Onix} but they should all have come up with alternativs to combustions engins looooonggg ago

[15:23] {magoo} no need..gas only 2.29 again

[15:23] {Threei}  well... car maker comes out and says,

[15:24] {Threei}  onix,

[15:24] {dino} bingo!

[15:24] {Threei}  here is 20K car

[15:24] {magoo} all those suckers took trade in beating dumping gas guzzling suv's this summer

[15:24] {Threei}  runs on gasoline

[15:24] {dino} wheres the incentive now to push for alt. energy? oil at 20 month lows

[15:24] {Threei}  here is 35K car, runs on something werid

[15:24] {dino} we are a fickle country

[15:24] {Threei}  for which you don't really have viable option to fule it

[15:24] {magoo} volks is unleashing mini car gets 117 mpg

[15:24] {Threei}  questionable battery that is likely to die on you in 5 years

[15:25] {Threei}  now choose please

[15:25] {Threei}  what do you pick? :)

[15:25] {Onix} yes, still way too many uncertainties to sort out

[15:25] {Onix} but they really waited way too long

[15:26] {dino} we have it in natural gas and more drilling, but again, a sub group, environmentalists, are to voting powerful

[15:26] {Onix} now nbody wnts to buy their cars in any case

[15:26] {dino} also we have 250 years of coal

[15:26] {dino} 140 years natural gas

[15:26] {Threei}  Nissan CEO recently said, they have all kinds of alt fuel cars in works,

[15:26] {Threei}  electric, hybrid, something else

[15:26] {Threei}  will start rolling them out in couple years

[15:26] {Threei}  but

[15:27] {Threei}  they all are going to sell at substantial premium.

[15:27] {Threei}  if oil stays where it is now, I just don't see people buying those

[15:27] {dino} and if gas stays down, nobody here will buy them

[15:27] {magoo} hey..did u see honey bunches of oats is now a new cereal..just bunches?

[15:27] {Threei}  except insanely rich with feel of guilt

[15:28] {Threei}  and as customer buyeth so manufacturer maketh

[15:28] {Onix} well, i should no say so much, because i don't even have a car

[15:28] {dino} no, the rich here like big and expensive, don't kid yourself. americans always want bigger

[15:29] {Threei}  sure... big hybrid SUV

[15:29] {magoo} right,,,it ain't they poor fueling mercedes, bmw, porshe frrearri

[15:29] {Threei}  what's wrong with hybrid Lexus

[15:29] {dino} yeah, gets 20 mpg but cost 30k more, i can buy alot of gas for 30k and get the same car, only not hybrid...see

[15:29] {Threei}  exactly

[15:29] {Onix} we use bicycles using bio fuels

[15:29] {lisa_jay} Dawg..did u take any more scalps?

[15:30] {dawg} just watching FITB right now in a trading range about midpoint Lisa

[15:31] {dino} example: i bought dodge durango, because they discounted it 12k, at 15 mpg, 12 k buys me 3-5 years of driving, the hybrig suv was a smaller one at 18k more, for lousy extra 7 mpg's

[15:31] {Onix} we going down to -400?

[15:32] {Threei}  onix... in today's trading anything's possible, no rhyme or reason

[15:32] {Onix} true

[15:32] {Threei}  dawg, FITB reflects market fairly close today

[15:33] {dawg} Yes Vad, heading back to pound here soon

[15:33] {elpaso} Hello, I just received my package last night and am studying diligently.  Do you have anywhere a description of your scanner setup?  I have found the documentation for the scanner and am familiar with it's menus but I have yet to learn the alert types.

[15:45] {dawg} I recall you made some money today also correct?

[15:45] {Onix} wtg lisa!

[15:45] {Threei}  best of them was dialing accidental number and asking politely "hi, this is Hunk, where do you want me to send you your bailout?

[15:46] {Geo} hunk?

[15:46] {lisa_jay} lol.

[15:46] {lisa_jay} Hunk?...Vad?

[15:46] {Threei}  ummm

[15:46] {Threei}  hank?

[15:47] {Threei}  comeon, years of experience should have taught you reading my typing even when I make 4 errors in 4 -letter word

[15:47] {lisa_jay} Dawg the money was all Vad's call.  Mine just suck.

[15:47] {Threei}  did you know that just 5 mistakes turn word bread into word vodka?

[15:47] {dawg} Yes but you hung in there today and didn't take the first few cents right?

[15:48] {lisa_jay} Yup.  A first for me true.

[15:48] {dawg} wtg!

[15:48] {lisa_jay} :-)  Thanks.

[15:48] {dawg} .)

[15:48] {Threei}  studying pays off

[15:48] {lisa_jay} Yes.

[15:49] {Threei}  look at CLNE

[15:49] {Threei}  did Pickens lose the touch?

[15:50] {Onix} certainly looks that way

[15:50] {dino} gas fell, no need to do it

[15:51] {dino} we are a very short sighted country

[15:54] {magoo} is this a trading room anymore or a political debate forum like "crossfire" sheesh

06[15:54] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout

[09:13] {_maga} Vad , do tape reading principle are applicable to futures?
[09:13] {Threei} as a main idea, sure
[09:13] {Threei} particularities are different somewhat
[09:13] {_maga} ok tx
[09:13] {Threei} more shakeouts, more stop gunning
[09:14] {_maga} more difficult...
[09:14] {Threei} in a way
[09:14] {Threei} I'd put it this way:
[09:14] {Threei} trading futs requires style adjustments somewhat difdferent from stocks
[09:15] {Threei} also, as with any single tool,
[09:15] {Threei} there is a problem of what to do when it trades in a way that doesn't match your system, your approach, yolur method of reading
[09:16] {Threei} you are likely to find a stock that trades on its own merits when market overall is not what your read handles well
[09:16] {Threei} but if you are confined to a single tool, you have no such luxury
[09:17] {_maga} I understand what you mean... you have a single ( or few) chart to work with
[09:17] {_maga} if doesn't fit your way... you haev to wait for the day after..
[09:17] {_maga} at least
[09:17] {Threei} I prefer stocks, with some general market trading sprinkled on top as complementary tool
[09:18] {Threei} in a form of futures, or Qs or QID
[09:18] {ese} good morning...

[10:56] {Threei} hardcore scalpers can keep DIOD stop above .10
[10:58] {Threei} starts feeling like dump in the making eh?
[11:00] {Threei} watch QID for entry
[11:01] {Threei} closest support with entry around 69 would be around 68.70
[11:01] {Threei} adjust size accordingly
[11:02] {Threei} feels like we are about to get a sizeable flush
[11:02] {Threei} taking QID above 70
[11:04] {dino} feeling same here

[11:31] {dino} alrighty then
[11:31] {Threei} just different idea of the play
[11:31] {Threei} no trailing for second half, except to b/e
[11:32] {Threei} with attempt to hold it for big size move
[11:32] {dino} i would've trailed tightly once i had .50 on it, and tighter as it went
[11:32] {dino} different ideas
[11:32] {dino} good call in any case
[11:32] {Threei} that's what I usually do
[11:35] {dino} sm l pru .90, stop .47
[11:36] {dino} hmm fast drop
[11:37] {_maga} look at UAUA
[11:37] {Threei} I don't want to

[11:38] {Threei} why did I look
[11:38] {_maga} solf

[11:39] {Threei} if market tunrs around, SOLF is half lot long on 7 break
[11:40] {Threei} but only if we see market strength, higher highs and lows
[11:40] {Threei} this slow churn is not an environment for this type of plays
[11:41] {Threei} btw, ayone played DIOD?
[11:41] {Threei} worked for 1:1 for scalpers
[11:41] {Threei} still in the money

[12:59] {Onix} so true!
[13:01] {Onix} must be one of the lowest volume days in a long while
[13:01] {Threei} I'd think you can trail C to .36
[13:02] {Threei} very low so far, yes
[13:12] {lisa_jay} uaua vad?
[13:12] {Threei} I don't understand it today
[13:12] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.

[13:19] {Onix} stopped C
[13:20] {Threei} you haven't covered any around 1:1?
[13:20] {lisa_jay} Stopped C -4c

[13:20] {Threei} with your entry it was 1:1
[13:21] {Onix} too greedy?
[13:21] {Threei} with the way market trades today...
[13:21] {Threei} I'd say anything beyond 3 cents consitutes too greedy :)
[13:21] {lisa_jay} Today yes.
[13:22] {Onix} :)
[13:22] {Onix} on 200 to 400 shares, 3c is not really worth it
[13:23] {Threei} well, 3 cents is exaggeration
[13:23] {Chaeron} 2 cents? :)

[14:16] {Threei} then this chinese bailout gave it pause,
[14:17] {Geo} y
[14:17] {Threei} not enough to prop it up muc just barely enough to keep it from flush
[14:17] {Threei} so it's still thinking
[14:17] {Threei} but initial burning desire to drop slowly takes over, lol

[15:23] {Threei} NQ is trying for new low
[15:23] {Threei} but I somehow don't get a feel of selloff coming
[15:24] {Threei} maybe because of ridiculously low volume
[15:25] {Onix} on daily it looks like first day of the next leg down?
[15:26] {Threei} not really
[15:26] {Threei} look at last three days
[15:26] {Threei} red green red
[15:27] {Threei} all bottomingg (so at least) at the esame level
[15:27] {Threei} and volume goes lower and lower each day
[15:27] {lisa_jay} People are expecting the reverse head and shoulders pattern on indexes.
[15:27] {Threei} typical undecisive pattern
[15:27] {Threei} can resolve any way
[15:27] {Threei} technically yes, lisa's correct
[15:28] {Threei} H&S is shaping up

Nov 07 2008

Another "barely in profit" day. Mostly scalps, not much moved for more than that. Day started with couple stops, one of them (on NVDA) especially rude - haven't seen this stock moving in such manner. Just look its intraday chart. SOLF and QQQQ later fixed the damage and took the day in green.


Session Time: Fri Nov 07 00:00:00 2008
[08:35] {_maga} good morning

[08:57] {Threei} you know, if I would be a market player with really huge capital

[08:58] {amarg} gm lisa
[08:58] {brian3579} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} If I had a little in the market, I would take it out and wait

[08:58] {Threei} if I were fully commited,
[08:58] {Threei} I would close my eyes, put my hands around my head rock back and forth and pray
[08:59] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:59] {Threei} onix :)
[08:59] {Threei} I mean, this guy is a huge unknown to such a degree
[09:00] {Threei} what he does may amount to nothing but fizzle
[09:00] {Threei} or nothing short of revolution
[09:02] {Threei} I just looked at the chart of ALTH... if you remember what event I was hunting for on this one and totally missed, you'll join me in bitter crying and loud screams

[11:12] {Threei} previous resistance, broken earlier and becoming new support
[11:17] {dino} sm l athn .98
[11:17] {dino} gappy one, careful
[11:17] {magoo} rimm fooled me today
[11:17] {Threei} you want to see ultimate definition of "fooled", look at NVDA chart
[11:18] {Threei} wtf was that?
[11:18] {dino} hey!!!!!!
[11:18] {magoo} and vad...NVDA usually does not move like that
[11:19] {Threei} no
[11:19] {dino} upgraded everywhere today
[11:19] {ese} i'm likin the way NVDA looks ........but thats just me
[11:19] {Threei} GM
[11:20] {Threei} REPORTS Q3 -$4.45 V -$3.70E, R $37.9B V $39.4BE
[11:20] {Threei} - Global market share 13% -0.7% y/y
[11:20] {Threei} - Q3 impairment charge
[11:20] {Threei} - GM reported charges of $652M relating to its commitments as part of Delphi's bankruptcy proceedings, $251M for impairment of investments in GMAC, and $641M in restructuring-related and other charges.
[11:20] {ese} hawk your long a couple NVDA too arn't you?
[11:20] {hawkfan4} i sold before earnings, 8 ish
[11:21] {ese} nice.......
[11:21] {dino} qcom sm s again, .10
[11:27] {Threei} - Even if GM implements the planned operating actions that are substantially within its control, GM's estimated liquidity during the remainder of 2008 will approach the minimum amount necessary to operate its business.
[11:27] {Threei} - Looking into the first two quarters of 2009,the company's estimated liquidity will fall significantly short of that amount unless economic and automotive industry conditions significantly improve, it receives substantial proceeds from asset sales, takes more aggressive working capital initiatives, gains access to capital markets and other private sources of funding, receives government funding under one or more current or future programs, or some combination of the foregoing.
[11:27] {Threei} - The success of GM's plans necessarily depends on other factors, including global economic conditions and the level of automotive sales, particularly in the United States and Western Europe.
[11:27] {Threei} - Expects adjusted operating cash flow in Q4 to be much improved q/q, and more consistent with the first half of the year
[11:27] {Threei} - Will announce further information on liquidity in 8-K later today
[11:29] {Onix} yes GM should do very well, the government is gong to "give" billions, just like AIG
[11:30] {Threei} GM open
[11:30] {Threei} *SEPT PENDING HOME SALES M/M: -4.6% V -3.4%E
[11:30] {Geo} comon vad
[11:30] {Geo} give us some good news.... its friday
[11:31] {Onix} we going for -500 today?
[11:31] {Threei} strangely enough, doesn't look this way fo now
[11:31] {Threei} with this endless carpet-bombing of bad news, market stays green
[11:32] {dino} qcom stopped -.22
[11:32] {Threei} we got job numbers worst ever, GM, housing sales
[11:32] {ese} oversold to my thinking vad.....
[11:32] {Threei} and still no selloff
[11:32] {patience} now who has a never ending supply of money to keep the markets green
[11:32] {Threei} this is price/information divergence
[11:33] {Threei} if not for the major policy speech ahead, I'd say we rally
[11:33] {dino} how bottoms form
[11:33] {Threei} we still may
[11:33] {Threei} exactly dino
[11:33] {Threei} bleakest news posible
[11:33] {dino} time will tell, imo 8100 must hold or all bets off
[11:33] {Threei} yet market refuses to go down
[11:33] {Threei} if this happens today, bottom is in
[11:34] {lisa_jay} Obama at 2 today. Hope he does not disappoint.
[11:34] {Threei} barring speech announcing taxing your breathing and giving proceeds to those who is too lazy to even breathe
[11:34] {dino} disappoint, we still haven't closed positive w/him pres. elect
[11:34] {dino} thats the problem
[11:34] {Threei} GM low from 10/10 is 4
[11:35] {lisa_jay} :-)
[11:35] {magoo} u see how low ford is?
[11:35] {Threei} yeah lisa... what is it he can say that inspires vs disappoints...
[11:35] {dino} athn broken, stopped again, done w/it
[11:35] {Threei} I mean, he talks well
[11:35] {Threei} but is it enough at this stage?
[11:36] {Threei} F is within 4 cents from that low
[11:37] {dino} tax and spend. thats what he will say. giving it to uaw now
[11:38] {Onix} it seems as if the market is teetering on broken crutches ... govenment bailouts propping it up
[11:38] {Threei} market shows some signs of life even with GM dropping
[11:38] {Threei} well Onix... that's a lot of money sitting on sideline
[11:38] {Threei} it needs to find outlet
[11:40] {Onix} true, but with so many people loosing jobs and retail spending going down so much, how can market go up?
[11:40] {Threei} it will when it feels like economy's bottom is in sight
[11:41] {Threei} market is future-discounting mechanism
[11:41] {Threei} it will go up much earlier than economy shows real signs of recovery'
[11:42] {Onix} ok i think i understand a little better now, thanks
[11:42] {Threei} practical outcome of it is,
[11:42] {Threei} smart money will position itself for the recovery in dvance,
[11:43] {Threei} crowd will join only when economy recovers,
[11:43] {Threei} paying much higher prices in the market
[11:43] {Threei} and smart money will be waiting for panic buying by those who feel they miss the train
[11:43] {Threei} and unload into their buying
[11:44] {Geo} in .1 out .3 GM
[11:44] {Onix} like Buffett going for GE @ $27 and it is now @ @19?
[11:44] {Geo} 200 shares only
[11:45] {Threei} ask Buffet why he did it
[11:45] {dino} cls sm l .80
[11:45] {Threei} his time horizons and ability to wait it out are different,
[11:46] {Threei} so are the conditions under which he buys
[11:46] {Threei} as far as I remember, his GS and GE buys were not simply open market investements
[11:46] {ese} outta here for the long weekend all.....take care
[11:46] {Threei} take care ese
[11:46] {Threei} those were preferred shares
[11:46] {hawkfan4} cya es
[11:47] {Onix} true, he got 10% interest deals as well i think
[11:47] {Threei} you or I are not really privileged to buy like that, are we
[11:47] {Onix} no way!!!!
[11:47] {Onix} not me, maybe yo
[11:52] {Threei} Qs is a long off 31

[12:18] {Geo} youdd see some serious shrinking :)
[12:18] {Geo} no one will apply
[12:19] {Threei} aside of general economy standing and people's desire and ability to buy their cars,
[12:20] {Threei} they face huge challenge on the path to financial health: all the social obligations
[12:20] {Threei} unions, health benefits, pensions
[12:20] {Threei} they would have to trim a lot of fat to becomne leaner and healthier
[12:20] {Threei} now,
[12:20] {Threei} does it go in line with new prez program?
[12:22] {dino} what should happen is bankruptcy, common worthless, union contracts voided, etc. bondholders get new common and string survive. whatever happened to capitalism?
[12:22] {dino} strong
[12:22] {dino} too much capacity
[12:23] {Threei} capitalism discredited itself dino... haven't you heard?
[12:23] {Threei} brotherly love is in
[12:23] {Threei} you are magoo's keeper
[12:24] {elpaso} dino, democracies are not historically long lived. when the majority start to vote themselves benefits at the expense of the state it is shortly finished.

[12:31] {Threei} FED'S LOCKHART: DO NOT COUNT ON EXPORTS TO SAVE THE US, PROBLEMS WILL RISE MORE, SIGNS OF IMPROVING CREDIT MARKETS MAY BE A FALSE DAWN
[12:31] {Threei} what are they all doing today?

[12:33] {Chaeron} you guys forget I bartended for many years and am handy to have around.........
[12:37] {dino} handy to have around...hmm i gues he could wait on us
[12:38] {elpaso} I don't know about that Threei, one thing that amazes me about western democracies is that there are many generous wealthy people. More than Ms. Rand imagined.
[12:39] {Chaeron} Wait on you? Wait on this:
06[12:39] * Chaeron slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[12:40] {Threei} well... we shall see in fullness of time...
[12:40] {Threei} I just have this nagging suspicion that it's one thing to give when you can
[12:40] {Threei} and completely another to be made to give, without asking your opinion
[12:41] {dino} ouch...not sure we want that attitude
[12:42] {Threei} I lived in society where distribution was as even as you can get
[12:42] {Threei} not oretty
[12:42] {Threei} motivation is zero
[12:43] {Threei} lazy bastards are kings
[12:43] {Threei} hard workers are slaves
[12:43] {dino} want proof, rent to a couple section 8 tenants, ugh!
[12:44] {dino} never again, nice homes wrecked in weeks, then they complain stuff is broken and brag that they are knocked up w/o marriage, because they get more govt checks
[12:44] {magoo} quit referring to me as lazy
[12:45] {Chaeron} magoo, you rent from dino?
[12:45] {Chaeron} :))
[12:45] {dino} lol
[12:46] {dino} not anymore he doesn't
[12:46] {Threei} rofl
[12:46] {Chaeron} not since he was knocked up..
[12:46] {dino} :)
[12:49] {peterg} you guys are on a Friday roll! :)
[12:54] {Threei} lol
[12:58] {dino} you should see magoos rolls, more than bakery
[12:59] {Threei} anyone did a few SOLF scalps on bounces?
[12:59] {Threei} or no one pays attention?
[12:59] {magoo} actually..i hit fslr twice
[12:59] {Threei} how did it take it?
[13:02] {lisa_jay} Solf Scalps Vad? How to play them?
[13:03] {Threei} look at 1 min
[13:03] {Threei} bounces from clear support levels
[13:03] {Threei} roughly coordinated with market moves
[13:03] {Threei} first time when it dropped into .40, I mentioned it
[13:03] {Threei} it went over .60
[13:04] {Threei} then did a few of the same kind of bounces from .30 and .20
[13:04] {dino} clf stop to .28
[13:06] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Vad.
[13:06] {dino} to .39
[13:07] {lisa_jay} Is this type of set up more likely to work on certain days vs others?
[13:08] {dino} out +.59
[13:10] {Threei} it's quite standard setup lisa
[13:11] {Threei} just gotta observe and make sure it's happening
[13:11] {Threei} stops are failry tight on this kind
[13:11] {Threei} you buy very close to support, so your stop in just under
[13:11] {lisa_jay} Do we wait for the strength to enter?
[13:11] {Threei} watch it right now:
[13:11] {lisa_jay} Ok
[13:11] {Threei} it retreated into .20 support,
[13:12] {Threei} NQ weakness took it there
[13:12] {Threei} now, NQ reverses, so should SOLF
[13:12] {Threei} watch NQ, keep your finger on a trigger with limit .25-.26
[13:13] {Threei} NQ upticking, big bid jumped in
[13:15] {lisa_jay} Paper trading this Vad, Stop where?
[13:15] {Threei} .20 if getting hit
[13:15] {Threei} if we had bids just under .20, then stop would there
[13:15] {lisa_jay} Thanks
[13:15] {Threei} but there are none at the moment
[13:15] {Threei} so have to exit if .20 getting sold
[13:17] {Threei} (US) TREASURY'S KASHKARI: SEEDS OF THE CURRENT CRISIS WERE PLANTED OVER THE LAST DECADE, HAS NOT RULED OUT PROVIDING FUNDS OUTSIDE THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
[13:17] {Threei} - Declines in housing prices are not over yet, home prices adjust downward very slowly.
[13:17] {Threei} - Government intervention has unintended consequences, yet taxpayers are helped when failing banks are taken over
[13:17] {Threei} - Markets remain fragile despite intervention, although there have been signs of improvement since the implementation of TARP began. Compensation rules under TARP "have teeth.", prudent acquisitons by participating banks are reasonable
[13:17] {Threei} - Prudent banking mergers could be beneficial. Treasury does not want to micromanage banks. Treasury will not exercise voting rights in banks
[13:17] {Threei} FED'S LOCKHART: FED COULD OPERATE WITH A FED FUNDS RATE AT 0%, US REMAINS 'CREDITWORTHY'
[13:17] {Threei} - Remarks that National Debt remains in acceptable boundaries
[13:19] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN: HOUSING PRICES 'CRITICAL' IN ABILITY TO CALL A BOTTOM IN THE MARKET
[13:19] {Threei} how come this guy just won't go away
[13:19] {elpaso} threei, is there something about the way solf trades in spurts that you like? the level 2 is easy to read when its not moving much.
[13:20] {Threei} well, I like stocks that trade more smoothly as a rule
[13:20] {Threei} but it's personality is different
[13:22] {Threei} market is hesitant
[13:22] {Threei} need NQ to break 1270 for the trade to gain legs
[13:26] {hawkfan4} QLD .19, stop .07
[13:28] {magoo} barak got mkt on freeze here
[13:29] {Threei} here comes NQ
[13:29] {Threei} here comes SOLF

[13:31] {Threei} and if NQ gives up and .30 geting hit, get out
[13:31] {Chaeron} you mean NO room for new buys?
[13:31] {dawg} also in from .26 back aways
[13:31] {Threei} right

[13:57] {Chaeron} try SOLF again here?
[13:58] {Threei} looks fine chart wise, but the closer we are to the speech, the less meaningful are moves
[13:59] {Threei} imagine prez saying we go solar all in,
[13:59] {Threei} thing explodes to 8 or 9 or 15 or whatever
[13:59] {Threei} imagine him saying, well, money's tough, will have to put it on hold for now
[14:00] {Threei} thind drops to 2
[14:00] {Threei} lol

[14:12] {dino} obama getting cocky, making us wait
[14:12] {cosmo} the president is near...
[14:14] {Chaeron} you heard what he said he does after making a speech in front of large crowds, no? He "loves to watch them (crowd) watching me."
[14:15] {cosmo} does he give them stage fright?
[14:16] {Chaeron} lol
[14:16] {dino} why not wait until after close
[14:16] {Threei} isn't it a myth cosmo?
[14:16] {Threei} oh wait

[09:21] {Threei} watching WFC as a short candidate
[09:22] {cosmo} CSCO pre mkt high = 16.83 fwiw
[09:23] {dino} lisa, lvs "going concern", real$
[09:23] {Threei} C another possible short
[09:23] {Onix} WFG @ 28.80 Vad?
[09:24] {Threei} no setup yet
[09:24] {Threei} just a acandidate to watch at this point
[09:24] {Onix} ty
[09:25] {lisa_jay} Thanks Dino
[09:27] {Threei} generally, working assumption so far is continuation of yesterday's selling
[09:28] {Onix} a beautiful bounce here for WFC hey?
[09:31] {magoo} still thinking short WFC vad?
[09:31] {ese} ATVI
[09:32] {Threei} Short Setup: WFC 29.90 break half lot if stays under 30.15
[09:33] {dawg} in wfc
[09:33] {Onix} in
[09:34] {magoo} in .02
[09:34] {dino} tbsi l .65, stop lod
[09:35] {Threei} Short Setup: C 12.44 if stays under 12.60
[09:35] {dino} drys sm l .30, stop .94
[09:36] {Threei} stopped WFC
[09:36] {lisa_jay} Stopped WFC.
[09:36] {dawg} stopped wfc
[09:36] {Threei} quite a recovery in the market
[09:36] {dptl} stopped wfc
[09:36] {magoo} me too
[09:37] {magoo} too fast too
[09:37] {dino} ci sm l .30
[09:42] {Threei} LVS
[09:42] {Threei} COULD SUSPEND DEVELOPMENTS, LOOKING TO RAISE CAPITAL TO AVOID POTENTIAL DEFAULTS
[09:42] {amarg} uaua is looking good, any trade?
[09:42] {Threei} on pullback, maybe
[09:42] {Threei} not a stock for chasing
[09:43] {Threei} there you go
[09:43] {Threei} 30 cents drop in one gasp
[09:44] {Threei} Long Setup: VPHM half lot 13.10
[09:45] {Threei} if big offer gets eaten
[09:45] {Threei} and if stays above 12.90
[09:45] {Threei} UAUA did that teleprotation thing again
[09:46] {Threei} if you watch it carefully and act very quickly, this is almost constant pattern on it
[09:47] {Threei} offer moved up on VPHM...
[09:47] {Threei} moving target
[09:48] {Threei} tough one, let's probably drop it
[09:48] {lisa_jay} ok
[09:49] {dino} drys stopped -.36
[09:49] {dino} tbsi stopped -.40
[09:49] {dino} blew the scalps, idiot award to diono today
[09:50] {magoo} wfc vad short?
[09:50] {Threei} no setup
[09:51] {magoo} loss 50?
[09:51] {Threei} and I don't like how it retreats just a tad while market drops
[09:51] {Threei} something's not right with this short
[09:52] {Threei} at some point it will work but so far each retreat looks more like a trap
[09:54] {Threei} look at this market drop and WFC barely losing 20 cents and immediately bouncing back
[09:54] {Threei} UAUA
[09:54] {Threei} bounce candidate off .50
[09:55] {lisa_jay} To short or long?
[09:55] {Threei} bounce after drop is long
[09:56] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[09:56] {Geo} half out .68
[09:56] {Threei} if got it, take scalp here
[09:58] {Threei} UAUA short became available for laser
[09:58] {dino} fwlt sm l .75
[09:58] {lisa_jay} Vad, with this kind of bounce plays, 10c stop?
[10:00] {Threei} this is generalization lisa
[10:00] {Threei} with this particular play, idea would be to enter around .50 with stop under .40
[10:01] {lisa_jay} thanks.
[10:02] {Threei} US TSY FINANCE ANNOUNCEMENT ON IRAN LATER TODAY
[10:02] {Threei} huh?
[10:07] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .60 breakdown if stays below .75
[10:09] {Threei} invalidated but short idea is still there
[10:09] {Threei} looking how to modify it
[10:10] {dino} ci stopped. taking break
[10:10] {Chaeron} good morning all
[10:10] {Threei} chaeron :)
[10:10] {lisa_jay} Hi Chaeron.
[10:11] {ese} CCCCCHHHHHHH.....
[10:11] {lisa_jay} Geo you still in UAUA?
[10:13] {Geo} what? no.... was all out at 80
[10:13] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[10:13] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .90 breakdown if stays below 26
[10:15] {Threei} 1:1, cover half or take scalp
[10:15] {Onix} i was too late for ADBE this time
[10:18] {magoo} probs here today on our side
[10:23] {magoo} hello??
[10:23] {lisa_jay} Magoo?
[10:23] {magoo} ok..ty
[10:23] {magoo} was booted out
[10:29] {lisa_jay} Now the Adbe works...
[10:29] {magoo} what u lookin at vad?
[10:29] {Threei} all around... trying to find anything readable
[10:31] {dino} fwlt stopped
[10:36] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .54 breakdown if stays below .70
[10:36] {dino} -7.5% since tuesday's close, getting close, imo
[10:36] {Threei} at some point support should stop holding finally
[10:37] {Threei} somarket could flush down
[10:37] {dino} support hasn't been holding 700 pts in 1.3 days
[10:38] {dino} 8900 area i'm watching for
[10:38] {Threei} I am talkihng about this particular ADBE setup
[10:38] {dino} other than that i show 8144
[10:38] {dino} ok, sorry
[10:38] {dino} :)
06[10:38] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4
[10:39] {magoo} magoo kicks adbe in groin
06[10:39] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4 endowed with nails
[10:39] {dino} dino just walks away
[10:39] {Geo} sheesh
[10:39] {magoo} magoo kicks in b@lls
[10:39] {Geo} what a pacifist bunch
06[10:39] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4 endowed with rusty nails
[10:40] {magoo} adbe punches magoo in face
[10:41] {Threei} ok, flush in progress
[10:41] {dawg} in adbe
[10:41] {dptl} in.52
[10:41] {Threei} enough of those bounces market... just drop
[10:41] {Onix} in ss ADBE @ .58
[10:42] {_maga} in ADBE .54
[10:42] {Onix} just 100 shares though
[10:43] {Onix} 3 losses in a row makes me skittish
[10:43] {Threei} see geo... violence works
[10:43] {Geo} half out
[10:43] {Threei} half out ADBE
[10:43] {Threei} scalpers know what to do
[10:44] {dawg} half out adbe
[10:44] {Threei} magoo... congratulations on a quality violence
[10:44] {Threei} stop .61 for the balance
[10:45] {magoo} :)
[10:45] {Threei} or .55 if you are extremely skittish
[10:45] {_maga} out +0.2 tx vad!!
[10:45] {Threei} welcome sir
[10:45] {lisa_jay} 22c thanks Vad.
[10:45] {Threei} welcome sirlisa :)
[10:46] {Threei} another leg of flushdown is coming
[10:46] {Chaeron} ADBE s in .53, out .31 - +0.22, thanks Vad, nice oue Lisa
[10:46] {Chaeron} one
[10:46] {Threei} is it right word? is there such thing as flush up?
[10:46] {Geo} only in australia
[10:46] {Threei} ah
[10:46] {Chaeron} heheh...
[10:46] {lisa_jay} ?
[10:47] {lisa_jay} Thanks Chaeron.
[10:47] {Threei} for those who still hold half: ideally would like to see ADBE remaining under .50,
[10:47] {dptl} +.15 adbe ty
[10:47] {Threei} then with market further drop it's likely to test closer to 25
[10:48] {Threei} unless we get extreme panic I don't expect ADBE to lose 25
[10:48] {Chaeron} can we please do that again? :)
[10:49] {Threei} was eyeing UAUA .80 break for long
[10:49] {Threei} look what it did
[10:49] {Threei} there was no way to buy it anywhere within 5 cents from .80
[10:49] {Chaeron} *sigh*
[10:49] {Threei} it just beamed itself up
[10:49] {Threei} ok, so far so good ADBE, .50 held
[10:50] {Threei} now want to see a new low and then sharp down to under .20
[10:50] {Threei} I think you can safely trail the stop to .51
[10:50] {Threei} if it goes over .50, not interested in what happens next
[10:51] {Chaeron} requiring violence again?
[10:52] {Threei} it's early morning still... gotta save some energy
[10:52] {dino} 8890 support dji imo
[10:52] {Threei} that 2x4 is heavy, you know
[10:53] {Threei} let's try gentele threats instead
06[10:54] * Threei sends ADBE a box with three dead fish
[10:55] {hawkfan4} AAPL small .38, stop under lod, swing
[10:55] {Threei} OK, this is either last attempt to resist the inevitable for NQ, or it's a double bottom
[10:55] {magoo} long rimm sm .98
[10:56] {Threei} in any case, ADBE stop is still above .50
[10:58] {Threei} for double bottom case,
[10:58] {Threei} Long Setup: QQQQ .08
[10:58] {Threei} stop under 31
[10:58] {magoo} in q
[10:58] {cosmo} rescued ....sigh
[10:58] {Threei} ADBE is done for now
[11:00] {Threei} Qs 1:1
[11:01] {magoo} first exit rimm .40 area
[11:04] {magoo} needs mkt
[11:04] {Threei} so far so good, low volume pullback
[11:06] {Threei} Qs bottom out here and break .20, you are golden with your RIMM
[11:06] {magoo} exit 2 would be like 60-70 area
[11:07] {dino} tbsi l .03, drys l .35
[11:07] {Threei} no .20 break so far
[11:07] {Threei} if loses .10, bets are off
[11:08] {Threei} off they are
[11:08] {magoo} gotta scalp
[11:08] {magoo} nuttin holds
[11:09] {cosmo} holding breath here
[11:09] {magoo} stopped rimm
[11:09] {magoo} 'sheesh
[11:10] {dino} 8890
[11:11] {hawkfan4} man, USO monthly chart. Took 5 months to undo the 13 month rally
[11:12] {magoo} very wounded market still
[11:12] {magoo} we are too retest lows
[11:12] {magoo} maybe not this week..but soon
[11:15] {laserdave1} Market bottom in?
[11:16] {magoo} does not feel like it
[11:16] {Threei} yeah, if Qs lose .90, more downside most likely
[11:17] {Threei} oil is quite a story hawk, yeah
[11:17] {Threei} a lot to learn from it about how maarkets really work
[11:18] {Threei} let's try and structure our action for more flush case
[11:18] {Threei} .88 Qs short if stays under 31
[11:19] {Threei} according play on ADBE is .27 short if stays under .45

[11:31] {Threei} - July rate hikes let us cut rates today
[11:31] {Threei} now that's funny
[11:31] {Threei} every economist in the world says July hike was a big mistake
[11:31] {magoo} can we get negative rates?
[11:31] {Threei} so the way to justify it is, we can today since we raised back then
[11:31] {Threei} we can cut today
[11:32] {dino} yes magoo, ask japan

[11:46] {Threei} if you watched UAUA just now, you saw teleportation setup

[11:47] {Onix} yes, quite crazy sometimes
[11:47] {magoo} whreres q eresistance?
[11:47] {Threei} same .20 as before

[11:49] {Threei} OK, Qs
[11:50] {Threei} preparing breakout
[11:50] {Threei} .21 long
[11:50] {Threei} low of current pullback will show the stop level
[11:51] {magoo} and then q next level vad?...34?
[11:52] {Threei} depends...
[11:52] {Threei} can't tell for now
[11:52] {lisa_jay} Current low .06 Vad?
[11:52] {Threei} yes but I would like to see somewhat higher consolidation
[11:52] {Threei} so we could place tighter stop
[11:53] {Threei} JPM
[11:53] {Threei} RETAIL CHIEF: WE DO NOT SEE MUCH GOOD NEWS WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMERS - WEBCAST
[11:53] {Threei} sigh

[11:58] {lisa_jay} Why does it not teleport when I am in?
[11:58] {Onix} exactly!?
[11:58] {Threei} one time when I had a chance to post it as close to real time as this tactic allows
[11:59] {Threei} how do you enter lisa?
[11:59] {Threei} if you watched this one, have you seen this move under .30?
[11:59] {lisa_jay} .00 break....never tried your way.
[11:59] {Threei} absolutely out of nowhere
[11:59] {Threei} well, that's different approach altogether
[11:59] {lisa_jay} yes
[12:00] {Threei} this one is not so clear cut
[12:00] {Threei} since it goes with market
[12:02] {Threei} in
[12:02] {Threei} stop under .10
[12:02] {magoo} how many shares?
[12:02] {dawg} in

[12:07] {Threei} now... meHTodology? deCSribe?
[12:07] {Threei} can you say dyksleqsik?
[12:07] {lisa_jay} Vad, do you lay out the exit?
[12:07] {Threei} usually not,
[12:08] {Threei} keep exit price about 5-7 cents above entry and keep finger on sell button

[12:10] {Threei} better get shaken out than caught into big drop
[12:11] {dawg} yes thank you

[12:12] {Threei} come on NQ
[12:12] {dawg} looking for .29 to greedy?
[12:13] {Threei} don't know... it's a highly fluid situation
[12:13] {dawg} OK
[12:13] {Threei} gotta evaluate it on second by second basis
[12:14] {Threei} here comes help
[12:14] {dawg} out .23

[12:14] {dawg} Thanks Vad.
[12:14] {Threei} welcome sir
[12:15] {Threei} good case this time,
[12:15] {Threei} was slow enough to allow real time comments on thinking process
[12:15] {Threei} well, if you can call this thinking
[12:15] {dawg} Yes with your coaching that was the key
[12:16] {lisa_jay} Selling off market.
[12:16] {Threei} that Qs setup may be back
[12:16] {Threei} with one more little bounce
[12:16] {dawg} Keeping eye out
[12:16] {Threei} .87 short if stays below 31

[12:22] {Threei} or as some politicians would say, flush baby flush
[12:23] {Threei} too sharp...
[12:23] {Threei} hate it when they move so sharply yet don't reach 1:1
[12:24] {Threei} getting torn between waiting for normal r/r and taking profit on a sharp move
[12:25] {Threei} ok, better
[12:25] {_maga} I'm in ADBE short from .27

[12:33] {Threei} no, I closed
[12:34] {dawg} OK i'll close out too

[12:41] {Threei} some bounce isa bound to happen now but we are not done selling yet

[12:48] {dino} maybe w/obama markets never go up
[12:48] {amarg} The potential bounce you earlier mention in progress, was that in overall market, or a particual stock?
[12:48] {dino} so in 10 days at zero
[12:48] {Threei} market and those stocks that follow it
[12:48] {Threei} like ADBE
[12:49] {Threei} I like the thought dino
[12:50] {dino} thought youwould

[13:14] {Geo} i am moving to washington
[13:17] {Threei} not sure what happened with LVS
[13:17] {Threei} CNBC'S GASPARINO: GS MAY LIKELY DISCLOSE FIRST LOSS SINCE BECOMING PUBLIC COMPANY IN UPCOMING REPORT
[13:18] {amarg} uaua bounced up and down back in middle again, from graph looks long term buy?????
[13:18] {Threei} what time frame?
[13:19] {Threei} daily? intraday?
[13:20] {amarg} intraday in middle, daily seems like a buy, if it breaks around 16 you think?
[13:20] {Threei} I can't answer in general, too many variables
[13:20] {amarg} but it may be down now due to overwhelming weight of market
[13:20] {Threei} how does it go to 16, in a slow steady way or in a sarop spike?
[13:21] {Threei} what is pil doing at the moment?
[13:21] {Threei} what is general market doing at the moment?
[13:21] {amarg} I was looking at the graph, latest daily pull back is on declining volume
[13:22] {hawkfan4} WFMI interesting on 11 break maybe
[13:22] {Threei} problem with UAUA is, it's not your usual stock
[13:22] {Threei} it's a major airline subjected to so many external factors
[13:23] {Threei} you can't fully rely on charts alone
[13:23] {Threei} take a look at daily,
[13:23] {Threei} run from under 4 to 16
[13:23] {Threei} was there much in charts to indicate that?
[13:23] {Threei} then drop all the way back to 5
[13:24] {Threei} to 16 again
[13:24] {amarg} i see
[13:24] {Threei} wth going on with LVS
[13:25] {laserdave1} maga dcc
[13:25] {amarg} by the way, curious, at 11.42 when everthing was headed down, what indicator gave you a reading that market is ready to reverse?
[13:26] {Threei} 12:42 you mean
[13:26] {Threei} EST
[13:27] {Threei} NQ made little double bottom, started breaking the peak between two bottoms
[13:27] {Threei} really felt like market was going to get some relief
[13:28] {Threei} but nothing outstanding, selling never became climactic
[13:28] {Threei} so it was mostly: close short, don't go long, wait for new setups to shape up
[13:28] {amarg} 12.42est right, NQ is nasdaq I guess
[13:31] {Threei} right
[13:32] {_maga} laserdave1 did you say something to me? what "dcc" is?
[13:32] {Threei} private message maga
[13:32] {Threei} doubleclick on his nick, you will see it

[14:08] {Threei} something's wrong
[14:08] {Threei} RIMM doesn't follow market as it should
[14:08] {Threei} be careful
[14:08] {magoo} yeah..aapl went a point here
[14:08] {Threei} really chaeron?
[14:08] {Chaeron} yep... just heard on radio news
[14:09] {Geo} guys when you have time.... does anyone else use TTN and are rates going up too?
[14:10] {Threei} geo, why don't you e-mail or call Joe and talk to him?
[14:10] {Geo} do we have a room rate vad before i call
[14:10] {Threei} there is a discount if you signed up through our banner

[14:11] {Threei} I don't remember the %, go to member area and look please
[14:11] {Geo} will do thanks
[14:11] {Threei} chaeron, I read it was one suggestion
[14:11] {Threei} to be discussed
[14:11] {Threei} I find it hard to believe they would do that
[14:11] {Chaeron} of course... nothing firm... thinking of consequenses
[14:12] {Threei} just imagine all the seling that hits the markets
[14:12] {Chaeron} I know that
[14:12] {Threei} I mean, if we have people at the helm who really want to finish this thing off...
[14:12] {Chaeron} but knowing that, why would they even suggest? It shows knee-jerk reactions to problems already... no thought before suggesting
[14:13] {Threei} then, as outgoing prez said, "this sucker is going down"
[14:13] {Chaeron} you still want to get that tiki bar and run it in Bora Bora with e Vad?
[14:13] {Chaeron} me
[14:14] {Threei} only if I get to drink while pour
[14:14] {Chaeron} like I care

Nov 05 2008

Interesting day. Started out well, then tightly locked market kept us inactive. Followed wave of selling didn't have much volume or readablity for a while and cost us couple stops. Finally, we got back in tune with market and ended day solidly in the money with couple shorts, and nice QID long for a full dollar move. Notice comments at 12:27 explaining what threw my read off and at 14:10 and 15:44 showing what key unlocked today's profits.

[10:52] {Threei} don't forget to enclose your shoe size
[10:52] {lisa_jay} :-)
[10:53] {dino} not the edge dino mentioned yesterday, but whatever works
[10:54] {Chaeron} Threei, thanks for scratch alert... saved me .16...
[10:55] {Threei} yeah, it looks so far like better play is for small scalps within these jumps up and down

[12:20] {Threei} we paid this commissions in 1998
[12:21] {_maga} I'm trading for test from my account I have in Italy... and these are the fees for the US markets....

[12:23] {amarg} really reduces the cost of currency conversion
[12:26] {dino} ceph stopped -.40
[12:27] {Threei} thing that threw off my read:
[12:27] {Threei} I thought Obama's election would send the market down,
[12:27] {Threei} but last few days election result was all but certain
[12:27] {Threei} yet market mostly climbed
[12:28] {Threei} low volume on that climb wasn't very indicative, as it could easily be attributed to uncertainty
[12:28] {lisa_jay} uaua Vad, band so narrow.
[12:28] {Threei} so I decided I misread the market intention
[12:28] {dino} markets afraid of obama/dems control
[12:28] {Threei} and backed off the idea of shorting on election result.
[12:29] {Threei} that was what I thought
[12:29] {dino} it was closer than electorial said, 48% mccain, 52% obama
[12:30] {magoo} u do not think short enough vad..i tell u this all the time
[12:30] {dino} new regulations and higher taxes coming
[12:30] {magoo} i saw rimm short..u said no
[12:30] {magoo} look at it
[12:30] {magoo} look at goog bidu fdslr
[12:31] {magoo} 100 shares each
[12:31] {magoo} fortune
[12:31] {magoo} no i didn;t
[12:31] {magoo} but coming in i was thinking that
[12:31] {Threei} [09:48] {magoo} RIMM short vad?
[12:31] {Threei} [09:48] {Threei} nah
[12:31] {Threei} look what RIMM did after this exchange
[12:32] {Threei} I answer with the read of the moment
[12:32] {Threei} if you want me to give you read for the rest of the day, you better find oracle
[12:32] {magoo} nah
[12:33] {Threei} why am I talking to you at all, I am in monastery for an hour
[12:33] {magoo} because i followed u there to keep heckling u
[12:34] {Threei} sigh... no rest for wicked
[12:34] {dawg} stopped Q's
[12:36] {Onix} Hi guys & girls, I'm home with some bad gout ... does not look as if anything is happening in the market hey?
[12:37] {Threei} anything good at any rate
[12:37] {Threei} this starts looking like crash coming
[12:37] {Onix} too many up days of late
[12:38] {dino} theres my -300
[12:38] {Threei} and no asigns of stopping
[12:39] {Onix} I thought Obama's victory would be good for the market?
[12:39] {Threei} how?
[12:39] {dino} why? higher dividend taxes, higher cap. gains, higher income, more regulations
[12:39] {Onix} but I suppose there is not much hope for the market in this economic climate
[12:40] {dino} gap filled
[12:40] {dino} carter years he's going back too w/taxes
[12:40] {Threei} onix... policies he used for campaign are eerily the same that turned recession of 1929 into great depression of 30s
[12:41] {dino} and the 70s into inflation high, no growth
[12:41] {Onix} did not know that
[12:41] {dino} tax and spend and more regulations
[12:41] {dino} at least clinton understood tax policy
[12:41] {dino} this guy is rob the rich
[12:42] {Onix} but the trickle-down effect did not happen, so building from the bottom up may work better?
[12:43] {Onix} may just be a long & difficult road I suppose
[12:43] {Threei} how do you build from bottom up by taking from one who earns more and giving to one who doesn't?
[12:43] {dino} trickle down did happen, regan lowered cap gains, income taxes, etc. economy boomed for almost 25 years, other bush and clinton left it alone
[12:44] {Threei} exactly
[12:44] {Threei} redistribution down kills motivation
[12:44] {dino} exactly, if i have to pay out 48%, why bother
[12:45] {Threei} ask Soviet Union how it worked out
[12:45] {dino} and god forbid you make the welfare guys do any type of work
[12:45] {Onix} now you guys are going way too deep for me!
[12:45] {dino} thats too mean
[12:45] {magoo} i guess its working for china
[12:45] {magoo} we owe them trillions, not vice versa
[12:46] {Chaeron} funny you should mention that Vad... did anyone else see the hammer and sickle flag outside the White house last night when the camera panned on the crowds cheering for Obama? Or the guys wearing it on t shirts?
[12:46] {Threei} you serious?
[12:46] {Chaeron} yes
[12:46] {dino} oh mannnnnnnnnnnn
[12:46] {Chaeron} I couldn't make up stuff like that
[12:46] {Chaeron} it's shown on fox still
[12:47] {dino} class warfare election, imo
[12:47] {Threei} well, I am optimist by nature
[12:47] {Threei} my hope is two fold
[12:47] {dino} wait until january 20th when he takes over, imo markets are going to drop
[12:47] {Threei} 1. taking actual power, he finds out such plans are harmful or impossible to implement
[12:48] {Threei} or
[12:48] {patience} i'm with dino
[12:48] {Threei} 2. He does implement them, harm becomes obvious quickly and next election corrects things
[12:48] {magoo} well, seasonality tradationally ids nov thru january..not such an insightful call
[12:48] {dino} 4 long years
[12:48] {Chaeron} in 2010
[12:48] {Chaeron} congressional
[12:48] {Chaeron} like 1994
[12:49] {dino} they cried that rates were too high for 30 year mortgages at 6.6%, wait until they go to 12%
[12:49] {dino} chaer, you may be right, take back congress
[12:49] {magoo} stop dino..stop
[12:49] {Threei} if Volker is engaged... that's quite real
[12:50] {Threei} that was his recipe... sky high rates
[12:50] {dino} run forest, run
[12:52] {Onix} Wall Street blew it with the housing and oil bubbles and then Paulson even went and bailed them all out with billions of more debt
[12:52] {Onix} how Obama is going to fix this, I got no idea at all
[12:53] {Threei} scary thing is, neither is he probably
[12:53] {dino} markets must fix themselves, they have already prolonged the motgage crisis by not letting them fail, in the end they will fail
[12:53] {Onix} are there no real clever people left in the USA?
[12:53] {Threei} there are
[12:53] {Chaeron} well, if threei would move here.....
[12:53] {Threei} but they do not beling to decision-making circles
[12:53] {dino} yes there are, but we don't work for govt
[12:54] {Onix} why do all the less-enlightened always end up in government?
[12:54] {Threei} who else would want this job
[12:54] {Onix} lol
[12:55] {dino} as my attorney friend says, "when an attorney can't make, naturally they go into politics"
[12:55] {Onix} true
[12:55] {dino} attorneys run govt, they are not business minded
[12:55] {dino} they are wealth destroyers
[12:56] {magoo} i thought this was a trading room??
[12:56] {Onix} so, we may soon test he recent lows in the market?
[12:56] {magoo} u guys are wearing me out
[12:56] {magoo} hes in...tough luck yes...but we stuck with him
[12:59] {Threei} this selling today looks like slow planned liquidation
[13:00] {Threei} I wish we saw more volume so we could confidently switch to shorting
[13:01] {dino} too late to short at moment
[13:01] {dino} we go up 100+/- now
[13:01] {Onix} Smart Money re-adjusting their porfolios before getting in again?
[13:02] {Threei} if that's the case, then getting in again only after hard crash

[15:44] {Threei} totally 1 month ago kind
[15:45] {dino} yes
[15:45] {Threei} comment from earlier:
[15:45] {Threei} [14:10] {Threei} today was to be traded very much like we traded first couple weeks of October
[15:45] {Threei} [14:11] {Threei} switch of paradigm is hard to do on the fly in a matter of hours
[15:46] {Threei} seeing this all too familiar pattern, started recalling how we did it back then and looking for confirmation of those patterns
[15:46] {Threei} and that's how trades become in tune with market again
[15:46] {dino} ci l .09
[15:47] {Threei} ok Geo... I found hoodie, dark sunglasses and some spy makeup
[15:47] {Geo} ummmm

[15:48] {Geo} vad trying to hide behind a tree
[15:48] {Threei} ummm
[15:49] {Threei} if you are trying to hint I am too fat for that
[15:49] {Geo} no no
[15:49] {Threei} that's very impolite
[15:49] {Geo} (yes yes)
[15:49] {Threei} be thankful I can't do to you what I'd like to, considering how fragile chaeron today is
[15:49] {Geo} true true
06[15:49] * Geo slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[15:49] {Threei} I am afraid to traumatize him
[15:49] {Geo} oops
06[15:49] * Geo slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout

[15:51] {dino} that should not have happened, sorry
[15:51] {dino} watching it all day
[15:51] {Threei} rude to the degree that can scar fragile chaeron for life
[15:52] {Geo} i think chaeron has hit the vodka
[15:52] {dino} thing just bounced 80 cents
[15:52] {Threei} that's what we fragile types do
06[15:52] * Threei pours 6th 200ml glass

[15:53] {Geo} hmmm canadaian
[15:53] {Geo} will have to hunt here
[15:53] {Threei} this last selloff was more or less readable, but I really didn't want to geopardize this day by trading on last minutes
[15:53] {dino} shoot forgot v order, l .80
[15:53] {Threei} geopardize is jeopardize with nod to Geo
[15:54] {Geo} thank you
[15:54] {Threei} welcome
[15:54] {Geo} geo paradise
[15:54] {Threei} jeopardizing geo paradise
[15:54] {Threei} poetry that will make peter cringe

[13:03] {dptl} .
[13:10] {lisa_jay} If any one is awake, was wondering if you could help me with placing hard stops.
[13:10] {lisa_jay} I have learnt that I am too slow / not disciplined so need hard stops
[13:11] {Chaeron} I'm awake LJ, but don't use them
[13:12] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Chaeron.
[13:12] {Chaeron} sorry... why do you feel as tho you're not disciplined?
[13:13] {lisa_jay} History of my life...usually when the stop price hits i hesistate.
[13:14] {lisa_jay} Results in move of 5+ c before i take stop.
[13:15] {dino} axp s .70
[13:17] {Chaeron} .05 isn't bad... I use a bit of pad at times, no more than that tho... usually a couple cents
[13:18] {lisa_jay} Ok, will get it eventually I guess.
[13:18] {Chaeron} I'm sorry.. I don' tknow how to enter them even on Laser... you on Laser?
[13:19] {lisa_jay} Not on Laser...I guess slippage of couple of cents will happen even with hard stops.
[13:20] {lisa_jay} Does anyone use Limit Orders with stops?
[13:20] {dptl} me
[13:20] {Geo} interesting dp
[13:20] {Chaeron} psychologically speaking tho, don't let it become an excuse to let .02 turn into .20... make sense?
[13:20] {Geo} 5 cent limit?
[13:21] {Geo} you using OMS mod dp?
[13:21] {lisa_jay} Chaeron - this is why I need hard stops. With the volatile stocks stocks it can happen in a blink.
[13:22] {dptl} only if too slow stock and i have to step out
[13:22] {Geo} ok
[13:23] {Chaeron} true... know your limits and don't play RIMM, etc until you got it down and disciplined. You don't have to take every trade... every stock has a diff personality. Like I normally won't trade wide spread stocks... my personal limitation
[13:23] {lisa_jay} How much of spread do you limit yourself to?
[13:23] {dino} and i will......but smaller size
[13:24] {Chaeron} depends on stock
[13:24] {Chaeron} some I see .20+... won't touch... .10 is questionable and less is ok
[13:26] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Chaeron.
[13:27] {dino} lisa...if i may....
[13:27] {lisa_jay} Please...(no trout though)
[13:27] {dino} you must find YOUR edge, not everybody else's
[13:28] {dino} then simply manage the risk (size and stops), be consistant, and keep it simple
[13:28] {Chaeron} excellent point dino
[13:28] {dino} as long as you have some sort of edge, it will work over time
[13:28] {lisa_jay} Consistancy is hard for me.
[13:29] {Chaeron} you have MPP?
[13:29] {lisa_jay} Yes, working through it.
[13:30] {Chaeron} keeping track of trades and then go back review winning and losing ones and see what pattern comes from it
[13:30] {Chaeron} know yourself
[13:30] {dino} consistanc how? w/stops? then no excuse....simple as that
[13:30] {dino} enter hard stops if that is the problem
[13:31] {lisa_jay} Ok.
[13:31] {Chaeron} I would bet it would show what dino summed up
[13:31] {dino} remember trading is not about being right (learn to expect losses), it's about trading right (consistency)
[13:32] {peterg} essential issue in facing facts--oops mkt going against me, I'm outa here return to security
[13:32] {Chaeron} just take the stop.. either that or we won't have you to trout because you'll eventually be gone... and I'd be sad :(
[13:32] {peterg} I keep having to work throught the humiliation of error
[13:32] {peterg} well said master ch
[13:32] {dino} i expect to lose on 4 of 10. bthats my edge
[13:32] {peterg} what a realist
[13:32] {peterg} still want perfection
[13:33] {dino} so as i say to my son, when he says i'm wrong..."so what, i was wrong 5 times today"...get it...nothing matters
[13:33] {peterg} nothing is real, strawberrry fields fordever
[13:33] {dino} no perfection peter, it is simply an odds game...think in probabilities
[13:34] {peterg} right
[13:34] {peterg} getting better
[13:34] {dino} when i hit 4 or 5 in row, i sit back, because the house will smack me soon
[13:35] {peterg} many on the list are hard-core traders, earning a living at it. I respect that. For the present, I want to earn an allowance.
[13:36] {dino} then, with all respect, keep it simple
[13:36] {lisa_jay} I am trying to become a full-time trader too. It really is hard.
[13:37] {peterg} Oh yeah. Emotions being the biggie.
[13:38] {dino} you are complicating it then. find your edge, keep it simple. everybody is different and trades differently. no one right way
[13:38] {dino} if you never find "your edge" you will fail
[13:38] {peterg} I agree with you dino and am currently trading apple patterns with some success
[13:39] {dino} good.
[13:39] {peterg} I feel bits of edge from time to time, but have always felt
[13:39] {peterg} i am a slow learner
[13:39] {dino} lol
[13:39] {peterg} turtles get there
[13:40] {Chaeron} but you gotta stick your neck out to get there :)
[13:40] {peterg} registered a URL: mouseinvestments.com
[13:40] {peterg} still working on motto: run in graba bite and get out
[13:40] {dino} way of turtle...good book 1st have
[13:40] {peterg} good pt ch
[13:41] {dino} have=half
[13:41] {peterg} turtle with flying fingers
[13:42] {Geo} hmm whats up with yhoo today
[13:42] {peterg} the secret methods that turned ordinary people into legendary traders
[13:42] {peterg} way of turtle
[13:43] {peterg} you recommend book dino?
[13:44] {dino} the 1st half made alot of sense to me
[13:44] {dino} it was all a system, those who broke it washed out
[13:45] {dptl} what the name of the book?
[13:46] {dino} way of the turtles, curtis faith
[13:46] {dptl} ty
[13:46] {dino} trading places movie sort of take on it
[13:48] {Threei} if I may...
[13:48] {Threei} [13:32] {peterg} I keep having to work throught the humiliation of error
[13:48] {Threei} see... there is no such thing in reality
[13:49] {Threei} you enter a stock on certain setup
[13:49] {Threei} no setup is garanteed to work in each given case
[13:49] {Threei} so the chance of it not working is always there
[13:49] {Threei} thus, there is no error
[13:49] {Threei} as dino said, you simply playing the odds
[13:50] {dino} :) flip a coin
[13:50] {Threei} odds are in your favor over statistically valid size of sample
[13:50] {Threei} if you play valid setups
[13:50] {Threei} but ech given case may or may not work
[13:50] {Threei} it's not working - get out and wait for the next bus
[13:51] {Threei} no error, no humiliation, no reflection of losing trade on your celf-perception
[13:51] {peterg} Right--I suffer from overactive hypercdritical superego
[13:51] {dino} axp bstop to .58
[13:51] {dino} cov +.12
[13:51] {Threei} and from our spelling that started rubbing off of you
[13:51] {peterg} yess
[13:51] {peterg} getting looser, better
[13:51] {dino} anything can happen...nothing matters
[13:52] {Threei} not many think of it this way but here is one of the most important traits of a trader:
[13:52] {peterg} true zen
[13:52] {Threei} self-irony
[13:52] {peterg} what
[13:52] {peterg} oh
[13:52] {Threei} not taking yourself too seriously
[13:52] {Threei} then your ego doesn't kick in
[13:52] {peterg} well, isn
[13:52] {peterg} t that the trick,
[13:53] {Threei} before hitting that buy button, ask yourself "ready to lose 150/"
[13:53] {dino} bingo
[13:53] {Threei} here we go then,
[13:53] {Threei} 150 is thrown on the table
[13:54] {Threei} now, was I the smartest one on a planet or was I complete finished unbeatable idiot?
[13:54] {peterg} Both?
[13:54] {Threei} oh, it's a stop - I was second biggest idiot on earth
[13:54] {Threei} fine, shurg, dry laugh
[13:54] {Threei} next
[13:55] {peterg} I wanna be the new James Bond guy
[13:55] {dino} big deal, in the end it (his stop) doesn't matter if you have an edge
[13:55] {Threei} exactly
[13:55] {dino} vad is a shrink. he taught me
[13:55] {Threei} who is here from the get go
[13:55] {Threei} chaeron
[13:55] {Threei} cosmo
[13:55] {Threei} raven
[13:55] {Threei} jmb
[13:55] {Threei} ask them:
[13:55] {dino} as soon as it did not matter, i started making $
[13:56] {Threei} how many stops have I taken over these years?
[13:56] {peterg} hmmmm
[13:56] {peterg} this deeep
[13:56] {Threei} zillion
[13:56] {Threei} or two zillions
[13:56] {Threei} so what?
[13:56] {dino} 80/month ave
[13:56] {Threei} ask dino, magoo:
[13:56] {Threei} how many times have they seen me going through cluster of losses
[13:56] {Threei} and next question:
[13:57] {dino} and you know what, the only stops that ,attered are the ones not taken
[13:57] {Threei} was there any single time I wouldn't recover in the next few (hours, days, weeks)
[13:57] {dino} mattered
[13:57] {Threei} and made it all back and a lot more
[13:57] {Threei} very true
[13:57] {Threei} that one stop you never took can do you in
[13:57] {dino} thats they key
[13:57] {peterg} That much I get solidly
[13:58] {Threei} it's just a normal part of trading, part of playing the odds
[13:58] {Threei} shrug it off
[13:58] {dino} all other stops don't matter peter, pound that into your head
[13:58] {Threei} never let it reflect on your perception of yourself
[13:58] {peterg} So zen self analysis: too much desire (attachment) leads to error, suffering
[13:58] {Threei} reread these two posts in the blog
[13:58] {Threei} lemme find them
[13:59] {cosmo} its better to have traded and lost, than to have never traded at all
[13:59] {cosmo} no?
[13:59] {peterg} Shakespear, our first trader
[13:59] {peterg} yes
[13:59] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/05/stops-why-dont-we-keep-them.html
[13:59] {dino} you see, imo, tading is like hitting a wall, and walls are made to keep people out. stops enable you to climb over the way
[13:59] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/08/non-stop-discussion-of-stops.html
[14:00] {Threei} ok dino, that's too deep :)

[14:08] {Geo} lol
[14:08] {Raven} to hell with him
[14:09] {peterg} this is your crown, raven
[14:09] {Raven} perhaps
[14:09] {Geo} a crown surmounted by the head of a raven. The bird represents a form of Mahakala, Bhutan's guardian deity. The prototype of the founding monarch's Raven Crown had first been devised as a battle helmet for his father, Jigme Namgyel (1825-81).
[14:10] {Raven} I see
[14:10] {peterg} google raven crown under images
[14:11] {Raven} that's a thought

[15:50] {Geo} it would spoil his record
[15:51] {Geo} i heard he signed up for a record deal
[15:51] {Threei} amazing how no one gets his answer why he doesn't want 25K+ guys to pay more taxes since he makes nowhere close to that amount
[15:51] {Threei} he is likely to benefit so why he objects
[15:52] {Threei} maybe because he doesn't want someone's money?
[15:52] {Threei} I wouldn't
[15:52] {Geo} he is just not comfortable vad
[15:52] {Threei} I don't see myself as a looter
[15:52] {Threei} or charity reciever

[07:47] {amarg} hello vad
[07:47] {amarg} hello dptl and geo
[07:48] {lisa_jay} Hi Amar....are U from the East coast?
[07:48] {amarg} hello lisa, texas
[07:49] {amarg} I'm new to vad's trading, joined on friday, for the most part, just watched you guys talk on friday
[07:50] {amarg} have you guys been around this platform for a while, and what's your overall opinion?
[07:50] {lisa_jay} I am new too...only been trading 2 weeks with Vad.
[07:51] {amarg} I'm waiting for the study material package and went through the online reading,
[07:51] {lisa_jay} Did you get his course?
[07:51] {lisa_jay} Oh sorry...once you get the course a lot of Vad's calls will make sense.
[07:52] {amarg} do most people in your opinion trade based on vad's recommendations or when he produces a signal or do the materials teach you to generate those on your own
[07:53] {amarg} dptl and geo, maga, if you aren't busy, your comments would be well appreciated as well
[07:54] {amarg} lisa are you trading with mbtrading or who? what tools you use to call trades?
[07:55] {lisa_jay} I think most of the traders here take some of their own trades as well. Keep in mind that they have a lot of experience on their own and with Vad.
[07:55] {lisa_jay} They just don't post them all the time since they take on more risk (Aapl, bidu, goog etc) and are not for novice. I for one stick to Vad's calls mostly.
[07:56] {lisa_jay} Example Dino trades capitulation and euporia - but with very strict stops....
[07:56] {lisa_jay} I think.
[07:57] {lisa_jay} Amar, talk to Vad about the best trading platform to use. I don't use MB trading.
[07:58] {_maga} hi everybody, I'm new too. today is my first day. so I cannot judge but I loved Vadym's books a lot!
[07:58] {_maga} #floor Cannot send to channel
[07:58] {amarg} thank you, my goal is to learn a program or techniques to be able to make more right calls than before, without that I feel all we do is gamble
[07:59] {lisa_jay} Yes.
[07:59] {amarg} so any comments on checking out whatever tools to better your probabilities is well appriciated
[07:59] {_maga} I agree
[08:00] {amarg} man, was I wrong on thinking that market was going down to test 7500 and hoping that DXD will head further up, while it fell by 20 points last week
[08:04] {magoo} morning
[08:04] {lisa_jay} Hi Magoo.
[08:22] {Threei} Good morning
[08:23] {Threei} 11/03/08 06:00am
[08:23] {Threei} [DRYS] DryShips, Inc Reports Q3 $3.53 v $3.60e, R $329M v $306Me
[08:23] {Threei} - Q3 Net voyage revenue $228.2M v $140.5M y/y
[08:23] {Threei} - Sees Q4 costs of $7.9M for dry docking
[08:23] {Threei} - Firm has total liquidity of $1.6B
[08:23] {_maga} good morning Vad
[08:23] {Threei} morning maga, welcome to the room
[08:23] {Threei} nice numbers and gap DRYS... but:
[08:24] {Threei} 08:13am Baltic Dry Bulk Index falls 2.8%, down 21 straight sessions (lowest reading since Feb 1999)
[08:24] {_maga} thank you
[08:24] {Threei} lasr week heroes are showing strength again this morning
[08:25] {Threei} UAUA and LVS
[08:25] {Threei} magoo, on AAPL:
[08:25] {Threei} FRIEDMAN BILLINGS MAKING CAUTIOUS COMMENTS ON IPHONE PRODUCTION (TIMING UNCERTAIN)
[08:25] {Threei} - Notes production could fall approx 40%
[08:26] {Threei} 8:22am, dropped whole point on this comment
[08:27] {Threei} just keep in mind your bellweather may disconnect from the rest of the market if players take tgis seriously
[08:29] {Threei} who hates this endless jerking the clock back and forth twice a year, raise your hand...
06[08:29] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:29] {Threei} one hand, I see
[08:29] {tomg} speaking of clock, didn't there used to be a real time clock on Laser somewhere?
[08:29] {tomg} gm btw
[08:30] {Threei} morning tom
[08:30] {tomg} on level II, I thought
[08:30] {Threei} yes
[08:30] {Threei} window right under amount of shares
[08:31] {Threei} when you click on it it toggles between T and %
[08:31] {Threei} T is time
[08:31] {Threei} works on NASDAQ stocks only I think
[08:31] {tomg} ah, got it back, ty vad
[08:31] {amarg} you mentioned DRYS, is that a play for short sale based on baltic index?
[08:32] {Threei} not necessary
[08:32] {Threei} news is news... it's not always a sole reason for a play
[08:32] {Threei} reason to look, yes
[08:33] {Threei} all too often stock does opposite to what news suggests
[08:33] {Threei} which is a great opportunity to "fade the news"
[08:33] {Threei} price/information divergence...
[08:34] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/10/information-price-divergence.html
[08:34] {amarg} since I'm new and not familiar with what are some of the usual symbols traded, can you throw out some symbols so that I can study them and be ready when you make a call
[08:35] {amarg} of course I imagine you follow a few stocks regularly
[08:35] {Threei} it's not like we have a firm list
[08:35] {Threei} but yes, some usual suspects appear now and then
[08:35] {Threei} and we play them regularly while they are active
[08:35] {Threei} lately, examples would be
[08:35] {Threei} UAUA
[08:35] {Threei} LVS
[08:35] {Threei} HIG
[08:35] {Threei} ADBE
[08:36] {Threei} then they run out of favor
[08:36] {Threei} new ones appear
[08:36] {Threei} about a year ago we played whole list of solars practically every day
[08:36] {Threei} haven't heard from them in quite a while
[08:36] {Threei} but I suspect they may be back in play on election outcomwe
[08:37] {Threei} or not... tape will tell
[08:37] {magoo} ty on aapl news vad
[08:38] {Threei} so let me get this straight... you trout me first, look later?
[08:39] {magoo} u got that right...whats the problem:)
[08:40] {Threei} none, I would worry about your health if it was any different
[08:47] {magoo} vad, news bidu?
[08:48] {Threei} 07:00am [BIDU] Announces $200M stock buyback (2.8% of market cap)

[09:09] {Threei} be back in 5
[09:12] {dino} np maga
[09:14] {Threei} one thing we need to gauge today is,
[09:15] {Threei} will market hesitate before the election or it pretty much made up its mind
[09:18] {dptl} good morning all
[09:18] {Threei} dp :)
[09:18] {Onix} Hi dp
[09:20] {Threei} uncertain opening so far
[09:20] {Threei} let's be patient as always
[09:20] {cosmo} 10 min i say
[09:20] {Threei} that's a certain spect of it, yeah
[09:20] {Onix} have not seen the market this calm for many months
[09:20] {Threei} yes... meek action
[09:21] {Threei} wait for good safe plays, no point in jumping with both feet while market decides
[09:22] {Onix} solid advice as always, ty
[09:23] {Threei} NVDA is green
[09:24] {Threei} not something I'd try to buy right out of the gate but worth keeping eye on
[09:24] {Threei} LVS and UAUA as usual, pullback buys rather than breakout
[09:24] {peterg} mornng team
[09:24] {Threei} peter :)
[09:25] {Onix} hi peter
[09:26] {peterg} hi
[09:26] {peterg} !
[09:28] {_maga} yes the same was here in Europe, the market was as calm as I was no more used to
[09:28] {cosmo} SOLF tests 6.50 at some point fwiw
[09:28] {Threei} rough waters became a norm, lol
[09:28] {Threei} qwe are uncomfortable in calm seas now
[09:29] {Threei} SOLF is a play if consolidates a bit, then breaks

[10:21] {Chaeron} hey 3i, mags :)
[10:22] {ese} mags......
[10:22] {ese} i mean CHHHH...
[10:22] {Chaeron} heheh ese :)
[10:24] {Threei} done with UAUA balance
[10:24] {Threei} may get back to this play but so far too unclear
[10:25] {dino} qcom stopped -.26
[10:25] {lisa_jay} Choppy today
[10:26] {Threei} yup
[10:26] {amarg} stopped lvs at 9
[10:27] {lisa_jay} CVS
[10:27] {Threei} ?
[10:27] {Threei} 9?
[10:27] {_maga} LVS or NVDA?
[10:27] {amarg} i had a stop loss on nvda at 9 , filled, sorry it was nvda not lvs
[10:27] {Threei} ok
[10:28] {Threei} not particularly important in this case, but stop should have been under 9, not 9 itlself
[10:28] {Threei} loss of support signifies stop
[10:28] {Onix} stopped NVDA
[10:29] {amarg} so what would be your advice, activate price 9, become market at ?
[10:29] {Threei} under 9
[10:29] {Threei} 8.99
[10:29] {amarg} ok
[10:30] {Threei} market or limit, this is different matter altogether
[10:30] {Threei} why not exwecute it manually?
[10:31] {dptl} eslr
[10:31] {amarg} well, i put in the stop order otherwise, when it's hovering around 9 or 8.99, the hope attaches that it won't go down, and it usually does and to avoid possibility of more loss, I place the order to stop as soon as I buy, what you think?
[10:32] {Threei} well, if you suspect you may have psychological troubles taking a stop - then by all means use hard stop until you get more confidence in your self-discipline
[10:33] {Threei} from pure trading standpoint, I prefer manual stops
[10:33] {dino} lol amarg, you sound a bit like me
[10:33] {amarg} ha ha
[10:34] {dino} i'm generally an idiot is i don't use hard stops

[11:19] {Threei} if it sets up again, and market helps, I'd say aim to sell half around .75
[11:20] {Threei} if you are in a scalping mode today, full out closer to .8-
[11:20] {Threei} needs to consolidate again and not to lose .30 anymore
[11:22] {dino} ci l .11
[11:25] {Threei} HIG... if you are inclined to try high risk play, small shares long .50 if holding above .30

[13:09] {Threei} UAUA, feel free to take profit
[13:09] {Threei} can't read it after this spike
[13:10] {Threei} need pullback or consolidation
[13:13] {Threei} hardcore scalpers only:
[13:14] {Threei} wtch UAUA for this interesting pattern,
[13:14] {Threei} it teleports suddenly very low, then jumps back just as suddenly
[13:14] {Threei} from 30.s to .11
[13:14] {Threei} pause,
[13:14] {Threei} if you grab it quickly, it's above .20 next second
[13:15] {Threei} quick and easy one hundred bucks
[13:15] {Threei} but only if you are quick and efficient scalper
[13:15] {Threei} impossible to call in time, happens in a shake of lamb tail
[13:23] {Geo} in .12
[13:23] {Geo} out .24

[13:24] {Threei} new for you method of trading, of course test it with smaller shares
[13:24] {Geo} Qs helped
[13:24] {Threei} but you saw how effective and quick it was
[13:24] {lisa_jay} Where would the stop be for this kind of trade Vad?
[13:24] {Geo} y
[13:24] {Threei} under 16
[13:25] {Threei} this is not a pattern that exists on many stocks
[13:25] {Threei} and even on UAUA it doesn't happen every day
[13:25] {Threei} but when it starts occuring, it continues for a while
[13:25] {Threei} so, matter of observation
[13:26] {Threei} keep also in mind, the range of such "teleportations" changes
[13:26] {Threei} it won't necessary be .10 - .25 next time
[13:27] {Threei} with marker weakening it can easily go to about 16,
[13:27] {Threei} adjust accordingly
[13:33] {Geo} hmmm

[13:55] {Threei} REPORTS OCT VEHICLE SALES -45% V -39%E (UNADJUSTED BASIS) TO 171K UNITS FROM 310K Y/Y
[13:55] {Threei} - The steep decline in vehicle sales was largely due to a significant drop in the market's retail demand as uncertainty over the deepening credit crisis impacted consumer confidence.
[13:55] {Threei} - Dealer stocks -15% y/y to 799K vehichles
[13:55] {Threei} - Affirms Q4 production forecast at 875K vehicles -15% y/y
[13:56] {Threei} from my first days in North America I was always wondering while looking at car dealer lots:
[13:56] {Threei} who the heck is buying these endless seas of cars?
[13:57] {dino} hugh s .83
[13:57] {Threei} market weaker and weaker... next teleportation should probably wind down below 16
[14:01] {Threei} letting it dive lower this time
[14:01] {Geo} so vad did ya figure it out?
[14:01] {Threei} this was usual slide, not teleportation
[14:01] {Geo} cuz i still have that Q
[14:02] {Threei} why trees grow upward?
[14:02] {Geo} 10:56] {Threei} from my first days in North America I was always wondering while looking at car dealer lots:
[14:02] {Threei} oh
[14:02] {Threei} no, not really
[14:02] {Threei} still mystery to me
[14:03] {Threei} thousands and thousands of them, and every year they clear out inventory and get new year models in
[14:03] {Threei} and there are a lot of used ones as well
[14:03] {Threei} and all this somehow gets cleared,
[14:03] {Geo} yup
[14:03] {Threei} yet this is not a tothbrush,
[14:03] {Threei} you don't buy new one a few times a year
[14:05] {Threei} even if you include guys like me in equation who lease their cars,
[14:05] {Threei} it's a new car every 3-4 years
