May 12 2009

The day started off the wrong foot as I misread the market. The idea to skip morning breaks and wait for pullback was only partially right, as pullnbacks didn't offer much and stopped us out before any worthy potential could be realized. Second part ofd the day was much brighter with wel-timed casll on recovery. HBAN long and especially VNDA helped make the day brighter.

Session Time: Tue May 12 00:00:00 2009

[08:53] {Threei}  ese... keep an eye on FTBK as candidate to replace your FITB atm

[08:53] {ese} tks vad will do.....

[08:54] {nemo} funny I was thinking the same thing....I can see ese now "20000 of the little buggers"

[08:54] {Threei}  it trades a bit differently, more volatility

[08:54] {Threei}  so keep "buggers" amount reasonable until you get a feel for it

[08:54] {nemo} or you'll get "buggered"

[08:54] {ese} tks

[08:55] {nemo} ese dcc

[08:55] {dptl} good morning all

[08:56] {nemo} dp :)

[08:56] {Threei}  dp :)

[08:56] {ese} one of the reasons for trading fitb was the fact that it does over 10,000,000 daily....most of my trading is done on stocks that averge minimum 10 mill a day

[08:56] {ese} dp

[08:56] {ese} they may move against me but not by very much

[09:20] {cosmo} DRYS pre mkt high = 7.24  

[09:21] {cosmo} ... so far

[09:22] {Threei}  my inclinations are on a long side for the opening plays

[09:22] {Threei}  WFC, FTBK

[09:23] {Threei}  26.50 is WFC's support so far

[09:24] {ese} someone take a look at the volume  on the faz daily.......would you interpret that as a wack of short positions being taken on the financials

[09:25] {Threei}  that's one part ese,

[09:25] {Threei}  another is:

[09:26] {Threei}  as it drops it attracts a lot of those who believe in pullback on financials, and at the same time it becomes cheaper so players can afford more

[09:27] {ese} hmmmm

[09:27] {Threei}  if we had dollar volume it would be more objective

[09:27] {ese} yes

[09:28] {ese} seems like it really hit a low at 4:40 yesterday

[09:29] {ese} sorry the day before

[09:29] {Threei}  FTBK, watch for sharp drop at the open

[09:30] {Threei}  if does it, it's a buy

[09:30] {Threei}  not delighted by 3 break at this point

[09:31] {Threei}  WFC, watch for pullback to .60 - .70

[09:50] {dino} aipc good report feels like manipulation to 25 strike

[09:50] {vinod} nemo--Last night my wife said I am dumb trader

[10:06] {dino} pnra stopped -.35

[10:08] {ese} anyone else long drys

[10:09] {Threei}  will on .10 break, ese

[10:10] {ese} ya....i took the agressive entry......market internals are showing up so i think it will break that way

[10:10] {ese} oppps not anymore

[10:10] {dino} don't feel that

[10:11] {Threei}  yeah, quite questionable so far

[10:11] {dino} thurs. gaps filled

[10:11] {Threei}  last week or so morning pullbacks were sure entries

[10:11] {Threei}  not today

[10:11] {Threei}  look at WFC

[10:12] {nemo} arbitrage plays on finnies?

[10:12] {Threei}  ?

[10:13] {nemo} they all sold stock last week at lower prices.  Those who bought selling this week and taking the difference?

[10:13] {ese} was looking a tick up and trin dn dino

[10:13] {dino} over my head

[10:14] {Threei}  that construct makes no sense to me nemo

[10:14] {nemo} issue prices last week were below end of week highs

[10:14] {nemo} flip out of it

[10:15] {Threei}  "they all" - subscribers?

[10:15] {nemo} What I saw of the issues, they were below market at the time

[10:15] {nemo} Why hang around if you can sell it higher.  THe banks are all garbage

[10:16] {Threei}  mnost of them haven't indicated prices, some said already issued and sold, some said will issue and sell

[10:16] {dino} nemo is correct

[10:16] {nemo} Forgive me if I don't trust what they say

[10:16] {dino} they were above issue price, for traders, not institions

[10:16] {Threei}  so it's all just a speculation

[10:16] {Threei}  they said something

[10:17] {Threei}  we have no idea what of that weasd true

[10:17] {nemo} History is merely a fantasy upon which we all agree

[10:17] {Threei}  how do you structure your trade on that?

[10:18] {ese} that would have been better entry for drys.....higher double botom

[10:18] {dino} i'm not trading finies, but they issued lower, so profit taking, keep it simple.who cares

[10:18] {ese} maybe even tripple botom

[10:19] {nemo} I thought that's what I said Dino :)

[10:19] {Threei}  OK... I must try that... WFC 25 break

[10:19] {Threei}  if uncomfortable stay away

[10:20] {dino} you did

[10:21] {Threei}  invalidated

[10:22] {dino} schw l .80

[10:22] {Threei}  a bit too hectic

[10:24] {dino} schw stop to .92

[10:25] {dino} out +.12

[10:26] {Threei}  GERN HEARING STRENGTH BEING ATTRIBUTED TO TAKEOVER CHATTER

[10:27] {Threei}  OK... in WFC on pullback

[10:27] {Threei}  .93

[10:27] {magoo} in 25

[10:27] {dino} gun to the head, retest lod

[10:28] {dino} watching txn, schw, wrld, idcc, pnra (want high50s)

[10:29] {dino} intc at 15ish too

[10:30] {Threei}  out balance

[10:30] {Threei}  can you believe that's all avaliable on bounces

[10:30] {magoo} i got it to high

[10:30] {dino} arst

[10:36] {nemo} recross of 25 vad?

[10:36] {Threei}  can't find a firm footing

[10:41] {nemo} market still heading down

[10:42] {nemo} I'm Magooing it...see if it helps

[10:42] {Threei}  yes, but WFC is not making new lows anymore

[10:42] {dino} give it time

[10:43] {Threei}  if FAS starts upticing, next try is probably in order

[10:44] {ese} drys hangin in there in a basically downward pressure market

[10:44] {nemo} well?

[10:45] {ese} well what?

[10:45] {Threei}  you see how fast it moves/

[10:45] {Threei}  ?

[10:46] {nemo} I magooed it and back wondering if change

[10:46] {magoo} makes RIMM look like tyhe hare'

[10:46] {Threei}  FAS broke 9.10, WFC gave a scalpable move

[10:46] {Threei}  but to play this you have to do it watching them, not me

[10:46] {Threei}  by the moment I'll type it play will be over

[10:47] {Threei}  MGM

[10:47] {Threei}  CEO: DEBT EXCHANGE LESS LIKELY DUE TO RECENT INCREASE IN BONDS

[13:30] {Threei}  how, you ask?

[13:30] {Threei}  easy

[13:30] {Threei}  all 5 were fraud

[13:30] {Threei}  5 buyers, no single one is real

[13:30] {Threei}  when real ones bid it, they outbid them

[13:30] {Threei}  or if I put "buy it now" option, they take it

[13:31] {Threei}  how does anyone sell anything over there, beyond me

[13:31] {ese} Hey everyone....have a great rest of the day.....I'll see you tomorrow

[13:32] {Threei}  I can understand an accident now and then, no one is immune from fraudsters

[13:32] {Threei}  but 5 times in a row?

[13:33] {nemo} I bought my laptop off ebay.  Watched it get bid up beyond all sanity.  Guy sold it...I could tell it was fraud.  Contacted him, telling what I think happened and asked him if he wanted to sell it if it fell through...lived a half hour away.

[13:35] {Threei}  some of fake paypal e-mails are incledibly elaborate

[13:35] {nemo} yeah, it's impressive

[14:31] {Threei}  US TREASURY UPDATE ON MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY: SOCIAL SECURITY FUND TO BE DEPLETED BY 2032; MEDICARE TO REACH LIMIT BY 2014

[14:31] {nemo} Funny actually...30 years ago I figured I would never see it.  Just a big pyramid scheme

[14:32] {dino} it is

[14:32] {Threei}  - Medicare trust fund insolvent by 2017 v 2019 prior forecast

[14:32] {Threei}  - Social Security Benefits payments to move beyond revenue by 2016 v 2017 prior forecast

[14:34] {Threei}  have they ever published such forecasts?

[14:34] {nemo} Every year

[14:34] {nemo} None this bad

[14:34] {dino} y

[14:35] {dino} "w" wanted to privatize it

[14:35] {nemo} What I love is when LBJ opened up SS Trust fund to fund The Great Society.  Took all the money and left an IOU...or that's What Congress has been doing.  Where were they going to get the money to replace the IOU.....duh!

[14:36] {dino} off balance shhet liability

[14:37] {nemo} Yeah, like a Wall Street Level III asset

[14:37] {dino} y

[14:37] {dino} holx l .11

[14:37] {Threei}  {larisa} you guys have such negative attitude

[14:37] {nemo} facts have a way of being interpreted as negative

[14:38] {dino} pru sm l .45

[14:38] {Threei}  nemo

[14:39] {Threei}  guess what 's happening

[14:39] {dino} it just doesn't matter 3i

[14:39] {nemo} prez speaking

[14:39] {Threei}  not for me, that's for sure

[14:39] {Threei}  right

[14:40] {dino} been this way for my whole life, they will find an acct trick to push it out

[14:40] {nemo} only thing is they've run out of rope outside of cutting programs or raising taxes

[14:41] {dino} well tax increases are coming..... i did not vote democratic

[14:41] {Threei}  "tho problem with socilaism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money"

[14:41] {Threei}  wow HBAN

[14:41] {dino} democrat i mean

[14:42] {nemo} I gave up on voting...might as well fart in a windstorm

[14:42] {dino} i understand 3i, but what can i do, so it doesn't matter

[14:44] {dino} they will fix it by making you spend down assets prior to collecting

[14:44] {dino} like medicaid for long term care, thats the precedence

[14:44] {Threei}  after taking those 10K on HBAN I should have just fell asleep

[14:45] {Threei}  or faint

[14:45] {dino} in the end everybody has coverage if they are less than 15k in assets, so no uninsured

[14:45] {nemo} you mean medical

[14:45] {dino} medical and welfare

[14:46] {dino} but look how well they managed the medicare, its broke, and now they want it all nationalized

[14:46] {nemo} well, there's the hidden rationing costs in medical.  So many doctors won't take state or medicare patients now

[14:47] {dino} but enough, back to work
