Apr 03 2009

Somewhat strange day. Most stocks acted against normal patterns and brought nothing but stops, while momentum mover DNDN obeyed like clockwork - all calls on it were right on target, both long and short.

[09:08] {Threei}  - The US economy is very weak, will likely remain that way "for a while."
[09:08] {Threei}  - Sees a risk of rising real fed funds rate, deflationary spiral
[09:08] {Threei}  - There is "incredibly large" unused capacity in the US economy.
[09:10] {fernp} Hello everybody
[09:10] {Threei}  fern :)
[09:16] {ese} morning
[09:16] {Threei}  ese :)
[09:16] {ese} morning vad
[09:17] {ese} any sense of the mrket yet....up, dn ?
[09:17] {Threei}  not really
[09:17] {Threei}  was up slightly, now down slightly
[09:21] {nemo} jnpr hanging their from yesterday, could be a short candidate
[09:23] {ese} have been re reading "how to scalp any market"...have a question for you....a couple of the scalp examples were for 3000 buy at .50 sell .54 etc...do you prefer those round numbers .50 and .00...because institutions focus on them
[09:24] {ese} they tend to provide significant resistant points
[09:24] {Threei}  well, most of support/resistance levels to break and trigger the trade happen to be around those
[09:24] {ese} so they are most likely to breakout a little harder?
[09:24] {Threei}  it's not often that we see alerts like "12.23 break long"... ratjer 12.20 or 12.25
[09:25] {ese} yes
[09:25] {Threei}  stocks naturally tend to foop or bottom out at those nombers rather than at .03 or .07
[09:25] {Threei}  to top
[09:26] {ese} institutional thing??
[09:26] {Threei}  nah
[09:26] {Threei}  just the weay we think
[09:26] {Threei}  way
[09:26] {Threei}  we don't assign targets for our exits at 25.63
[09:27] {Threei}  25.50 - we do
[09:27] {ese} yes
[09:27] {Threei}  so those supports and resistances get formed where we decide to exit or enter
[09:28] {dptl} good morning all
[09:28] {Threei}  dp :)
[09:29] {ese} have had the best trading 2 weeks of my life thanks to that book....have just had the courage to go with 2000/3000 shs lots and it really is safer

[09:32] {Threei}  [09:23] {ese} have been re reading "how to scalp any market"..
[09:32] {Threei}  need it to form something, mags
[09:32] {ese} "How To Scalp any Market ^ Profit Consistently"...vads book
[09:32] {Threei}  it's too removed from all normal points of reference
[09:33] {Threei}  without it forming new ones, it's just a crapshoot

[12:42] {ese} sorry market time not victoria time
[12:50] {Threei}  these sudden spikes on FITB after pullbacks indicate that it's far from over, IMO
[12:51] {Threei}  DNDN stabilized

[12:51] {Threei}  I'd say 5.60 break if holding 5.50
[12:51] {magoo} i meant FITB
[12:52] {Threei}  don't know on FITB
[12:53] {Threei}  but DNDN is over 1:1

[13:23] {nemo} basically a "flossing with barbed wire" morning
[13:23] {vint} so it is one of those Fridays..i guess
[13:24] {Threei}  yes, unless you caught those couple nice winners that were all but easy to catch
[13:26] {Threei}  hmmm... I thought DNDN was done
[13:27] {ese} signing off....have a great weekend all....

[13:31] {Threei}  SEC: EVALUATING TWO OPTIONS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE UPTICK RULE; WILL VOTE ON PROVISIONS ON APRIL 8

[13:33] {larisa} just wanted to make you nervous with all these question marks :)
[13:33] {Threei}  that's what they do
[13:33] {larisa} exactly
[13:33] {larisa} need to use them carefuly, both ?? and !!
[13:35] {Threei}  trades either come to us or not. Last thing you need is to pressure me into calling what is not there
[13:36] {vint} I agree ..I had forced trade ahter hrs on RIMM..and burnt my fingers dearly

[13:37] {vint} was too eager to jump on
[13:37] {vint} big lesson learned
[13:37] {nemo} Hey Vad, just asking for education, I see a short on RIMM if it falls below .80 but long if it goes over 60
[13:37] {Threei}  arbitrary picking tops or bottoms...
[13:37] {magoo} i had i long after hours 51 cut 54..but way early
[13:38] {Threei}  looks right to me, nemo - providing market supports at the moment
[13:38] {nemo} yes, thanks, 
[13:39] {Threei}  DNDN formed same setup once again
[13:39] {Threei}  5.50 - 5.60
[13:40] {nemo} that would be 3 times to the well
[13:40] {dptl} in dndn .63
[13:40] {Threei}  it hit 1:1 while you were typing that, nemo {G}
[13:41] {nemo} well, today is officially my fault
[13:42] {nemo} just got rejected short selling rimm, huh
[13:42] {nemo} wrong routing
[13:43] {Threei}  ?
[13:43] {Threei}  how did you route it??
[13:43] {nemo} tried GETCO...bad idea
[13:45] {Threei}  DNDN over 1:1
[13:46] {nemo} GILD moving too
[13:46] {Threei}  this is third call on DNDN, all winners
[13:47] {Threei}  granted, first one was tough
[13:47] {Threei}  pure intuitive, no technical criteria
[13:47] {nemo} yeah, you didn't actually call that
[13:47] {Threei}  but second and third were clean
[13:47] {nemo} You said, I think, "Did anyone...."
[13:47] {nemo} can't argue with the second 2 also, if it clears .80 back in volume supported of course
[13:48] {Threei}  don't think... copy/paste:
[13:48] {Threei}  [12:33] {Threei} I'll be darned, DNDN looks like going to 6
[13:48] {dptl} out .74 ..ty
[13:49] {nemo} Now, RIMM is headed for sixty, kinda' but pretty verticle, would it be better to see some consolidation under 60 first?
[13:50] {Threei}  of course
[13:51] {Threei}  don't buy into spike into resistance
[13:53] {nemo} jnpr
[13:53] {nemo} no volume though
[13:54] {Threei}  if DND takes .80
[13:54] {Threei}  most likely to go over 6 at some point today again
[13:54] {Threei}  DNDN that was
[13:54] {Threei}  entry here is scary
[13:54] {nemo} yep
[13:54] {Threei}  but if gives us a pullback
[13:54] {dptl} still have 100 sh
[13:54] {Threei}  will be worth considering again
[13:55] {Threei}  try to hold them
[13:55] {Threei}  not much damage if drops
[13:55] {Threei}  I mean... 13 bucks?
[13:56] {Threei}  over 1:2 btw
[13:57] {dptl} getting rimm at 60?
[13:58] {Threei}  if market spikes, worth a try
[14:00] {_george70} hi
[14:00] {Threei}  hi george
[14:00] {nemo} curious george-about the trading room?:)
[14:01] {Threei}  DND, clearing .85 this time should take it to new range between .90 and 6
[14:01] {Threei}  DNDN
[14:01] {dptl} in rimm
[14:02] {Threei}  I don't see much help from NQ at the moment
[14:03] {Threei}  I ptrefer this kind of plays on market spike and little delay for entry on your stock
[14:03] {Threei}  DNDN is working hard
[14:04] {dptl} ahh....stopped...feels like i don't know what i am doing anymore
[14:04] {dptl} rimm that is
[14:04] {nemo} it was a trap
[14:05] {Threei}  [13:58] {Threei} if market spikes, worth a try
[14:05] {Threei}  why ignore the condition attached?
[14:05] {dptl} well..it looked like it was coming up and rim slowly broke
[14:06] {Threei}  you want the lag play for these cases
[14:06] {Threei}  WHITE HOUSE ADVISOR GOOLSBEE: NEW CEO HENDERSON 'EMBRACING' NEW CHANGE IN DIRECTION FOR THE COMPANY

[14:14] {Threei}  FAZ... poor thing has no bottom

[15:04] {Threei}  [13:55] {Threei} try to hold them

[15:07] {Threei}  US TREASURY HAS REPORTEDLY BEGUN TALKS WITH CHRYSLER ON POTENTIAL DEBT FOR EQUITY EXCHANGE REQUIRED TO AVOID BANKRUPTCY AND MOVE FOWARD ON FIAT ALLIANCE

[15:08] {Threei}  OK, now that it retreated, watch for bounce back closer to high,
[15:08] {nemo} and then short the top of that
[15:08] {Threei}  then breaking 6.10 for a short trigger
[15:08] {Threei}  or what you said
[15:09] {Threei}  depending on agressiveness
[15:09] {nemo} why .10?
[15:09] {Threei}  that was support on first drop
[15:09] {Threei}  kind of runied that setup now
[15:09] {Threei}  ruined
[15:09] {Threei}  too volatile for exact entries
[15:10] {Threei}  amazing it gave us those two setups with merely 10 cents range
[15:11] {nemo} set up back?
[15:12] {Threei}  no

[15:41] {Threei}  AFFIRMS PLANS TO RELEASE DATA BY END OF APRIL
[15:41] {Threei}  - Notes it has no new data for its Provenge vaccine
[15:42] {Threei}  if there is no new data, what is it they plan to release?
[15:43] {nemo} James  Dendreon secured a late-breaker presentation slot for the Provenge study at the American Urological Association annual meeting, April 25-30.
[15:43] {nemo} A late-breaker presentation is offered for clinical trials or other research that are completed and submitted after the deadline for regular abstract submission is passed. While late-breaker presentation slots are usually reserved for important or high-profile research, they ARE NOT reserved solely for positive research. I have personally sat through many late-breaker presentations of failed clinical trials. In science, you can often learn 
[15:43] {nemo} Since we already know that the Provenge data will be released later this month, the fact that the results will be presented at a scientific meeting at the end of the month doesn't tell you a whole lot about whether Provenge works or not. 
[15:46] {Threei}  what is that?
[15:46] {nemo} lifted from blogs on TSCM
[15:46] {Threei}  oh boy
[15:46] {nemo} columnists.  It might be much ado about nothing
[15:47] {nemo} guy name Adam Feuerstein-biotech guy (supposedly)
