Aug 312009

Not bad for the Monday and last day of the month: slow but steady 40 cents on VICL, 20 cents on BAC, something decent on AIG, 15 cents stop on half lot attempt to shoret RIMM, then nice momentum play on SVA. All in all, August was a very nice month for us.

[14:49] {dino} out +.30

[14:50] {magoo} 3 pm..move will do or kill

[14:54] {Threei} IMF Chief Economist Blanchard: Central banks reserves have not influenced growth; accumulated FX reserves are not efficient (related USD/CNY EUR/CNY )

[14:57] {Threei} toughie mags

[14:57] {magoo} yea..was just saying to dino.,...trades like donkey now

[14:58] {magoo} in .15 here

[14:58] {Threei} maybe because it's AMEX

[14:58] {magoo} really REALLY thought it was going

[14:58] {Threei} ECNs changed it greatly but still... long tradition of weird moves

[14:58] {magoo} i got 3k too...so, worried

[14:59] {Threei} well... as classic book says, sell down to sleeping level

[14:59] {magoo} yea...might be scalpin soon

[15:00] {Threei} this is going to be interesting:

[15:00] {Threei} Reynolds American Inc File Suit with other tobacco manufacturers Challenging Provisions of FDA Tobacco Act

[15:00] {Threei} - joined other tobacco manufacturers and a tobacco retailer in filing suit today in federal court in Bowling Green, Ky., seeking to protect their First Amendment right to communicate with adult tobacco consumers about their products. The law passed by Congress in June, granting the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory oversight over tobacco products, contains several provisions restricting or banning truthful speech, contrary to the requirements of the First Amendment.

[15:02] {dino} and ironicallt the govt subsides the growers

[15:02] {Threei} yeah

[15:02] {nemo} pays them not to plant

[15:02] {Threei} and makes out like bandit on sin taxes

[15:03] {dino} if you think about it, smokers die youinger, so save on heath care costs

[15:03] {nemo} not unlike oil, when congress whas decrying the "obscene profits" yet collecting a healthy chunk on every domestically produced barrel

[15:03] {dino} mother hen govt

[15:04] {dino} gok drop

[15:06] {nemo} still can't short aig

[15:07] {dino} nor i

[15:07] {dino} thinking about puts

[15:09] {nemo} huh, wfc actually strong today, considering

[15:11] {dino} didn't get expected downgrade from moodys

[15:17] {magoo} SVA certainly not easy vad

[15:17] {Threei} no

[15:17] {Threei} listen... let's play it by the book

[15:17] {Threei} sell 2K here

[15:17] {dino} hl l gok ave .51

[15:18] {Threei} take &200 profit

[15:18] {Threei} keep stop under 9 for the remaining 1K,

[15:18] {Threei} worst comes to worts, you are roughly flat after commissions

[15:18] {Threei} if it works, just let this last K ride

[15:19] {Threei} I underastand the desire to squeeze all possible out of it, but it's not worth $500 risk'

[15:19] {Threei} you had too good month to spoil it on last day

[15:20] {magoo} ok

[15:21] {Threei} finally

[15:22] {magoo} out BIG DOOUGH

[15:22] {brian3579} that 10 call looks good

[15:22] {Threei} I am out here too

[15:22] {magoo} thanx coach

[15:22] {Threei} always

[15:22] {fernp} wonderful SVA. great play

[15:22] {magoo} could have just as easily killed me

[15:23] {Threei} that's what risk control is for...

[15:23] {Threei} leave it to amateurs to go all in and count on making a killing on a single play

[15:23] {Threei} you took it fern?

[15:23] {magoo} let me refraize...could have been stopped

[15:23] {fernp} no

[15:23] {larisa} where did you enter on SVA, I was away?

[15:23] {fernp} too dangerous for me

[15:24] {Threei} magoo at .15 larisa

[15:24] {Threei} I took .35 break

[15:24] {nemo} what was the stop?

[15:24] {magoo} mine was .97

[15:25] {magoo} never lower than .04 i think

[15:25] {magoo} while i was in

[15:25] {magoo} now like 10

[15:25] {Threei} sheesh, not done

[15:25] {nemo} what was your stop vad?

[15:25] {Threei} pace picks up again

[15:25] {dino} igk to .57

[15:25] {Threei} it wasn't going to stop me

[15:26] {Threei} this pace explosion was no breainer

[15:26] {Threei} offered 1K at .48, 1 at .55 and 1 at .69

[15:27] {dino} out ave .55, +.10

[15:27] {Threei} and if it did urn around stop would be defined in terms of p;rice level

[15:27] {Threei} I bought on momentum,. not on technicals

[15:28] {Threei} so momentum reversal would stop me out

[15:28] {magoo} vad...this momo has been like ole days for us

[15:28] {magoo} thats why iom doing well

[15:28] {Threei} second half of august, no less

[15:28] {magoo} i need the momo

[15:28] {Threei} of all trading months, lol

[15:29] {dino} you should change your nick to mogoo

[15:29] {nemo} Trade what you see, not what you think...

[15:29] {magoo} agree nemo..

[15:29] {magoo} with a dash of "feel" and a smidge of luck

[15:30] {magoo} that could easily see 11 today

[15:32] {Threei} inhales... exhales...

[15:32] {magoo} to resume its trek upward

[15:32] {Threei} massages muscles

[15:34] {magoo} here we go

[15:34] {Threei} what's the bet??? :)

[15:34] {magoo} a drink in vegas

[15:34] {dino} ok

[15:35] {Threei} 5 cents left... come on SVA

[15:35] {magoo} i went to reliable sourse...yahoo message board say it will be 20 by friday lol

[15:36] {Threei} I feel humbled by the welath of knowledge, mags

06[15:37] * Threei kicks SVA in the rear end

[15:37] {larisa} technicals show no 10.. of course there is always stupid momo :)

[15:38] {magoo} but the message boards larisa...they dont lie

[15:38] {larisa} thats true :)

[15:38] {Threei} you underestimate the stupidity of three factors put together:

[15:39] {Threei} me, magoo and momo

[15:39] {magoo} um..momo is my thing'

[15:39] {Threei} these 3M and capable of outstupiding anything you can think of

[15:39] {magoo} my best momo trade ever vad...remember? years ago

[15:39] {Threei} and = are

[15:39] {Threei} hmmm... remind me

[15:40] {magoo} bidu ipo...it went to like 160

[15:40] {Threei} I remember losses well... wins, not so much

[15:40] {Threei} oh yeah

[15:40] {magoo} 20k

[15:40] {Threei} that was beyond stupid {G}

[15:40] {magoo} and i was there:)

[15:40] {Threei} and I was with you

[15:40] {larisa} wow, really?

[15:41] {magoo} yup..screaming all thge way lol

[15:41] {Threei} yeah... magoo traded, what's the word... "stupidly"?

[15:41] {magoo} hell larisa, did 12k on AIG onee ttade

[15:41] {magoo} last week

[15:41] {larisa} :)

[15:41] {magoo} momo..is why

[15:42] {larisa} 33.80 vads call i didi not take AIG :)

[15:42] {Threei} I am happy when it's around... 'cause when it goes away, magoo starts nagging me for a trade :)

[15:42] {magoo} but, ive gotten pummeled too...it aint easy

[15:43] {Threei} 33.80 was safe call, I don't know why you skipped it back then larisa

[15:43] {Threei} nice tight stop

[15:43] {larisa} your way is too emotional magoo, I want to stay sane so my husband do not kick me out :)

[15:43] {larisa} AIG is just too wild fo rme

[15:43] {Threei} yes, for the most part

[15:43] {Threei} but sometimes it tightents

[15:43] {Threei} and gives normal setup

[15:44] {Threei} so you have best of both world

[15:44] {Threei} normal stop,

[15:44] {Threei} but if it works - momentum and its wild nature make a win real big

[15:44] {larisa} :)

[15:44] {larisa} real big is for men

[15:45] {larisa} I am just a girl :)

[15:46] {Threei} so, the only stop today is that 15 cents on half lot RIMM

[15:46] {magoo} but actually...what ive learned...is just let the winner win...with AIG, it momo up...never stopped us, and instead of scalp, let it run run run 4 points

[15:46] {Threei} and it's the only short

[15:46] {magoo} my second best day of year vad..thank u

[15:47] {Threei} good to hear :)

[15:47] {nemo} must be your best month

[15:47] {magoo} and i want more tomorrow u can bet:)

[15:47] {brian3579} thats why im back cant let winners win

[09:08] {Threei} yup

[09:08] {magoo} u think its got a run to 55 in it?just from your experience

[09:09] {Threei} it all depends on whether squeeze is still in full bloom or it's a last drops being mined out

[09:09] {Threei} if squeeze is not over, 60 is just as likely

[09:10] {Threei} if it's a last gasps, shaking out last bears... can just reverse and go down with very few bounces

[09:10] {cosmo} gee...time to retire...last day here after all these years...

[09:21] {Threei} which is a surefire recipe for disaster

[09:21] {magoo} nemo. u forgot most importasnt ..for a profit

[09:22] {nemo} buy low sell high

[09:22] {nemo} Pride cometh before the fall...

[09:22] {Threei} first thing to do upon open is wait for sharp pullback,

[09:22] {Threei} that was market's trademark lately

[09:23] {Threei} and provided us with nice entries, like yesterday's first trade on HIG

[11:35] {magoo} i was disappointed in my reation time..2 mins unacceptable :)

[11:36] {magoo} so glad i am not in AIG

[11:36] {magoo} i am fat..flat.. and looking at the gap

[11:36] {Threei} yup

[11:40] {magoo} no clue where it could bounce..up so much

[11:42] {Threei} retest of 51.50 from here

[11:42] {Threei} and if holding, bounce starts

[11:42] {Threei} big one

[11:42] {Threei} take it keep stip under .50 mags

[11:44] {magoo} or in a cvoma..your choice

[11:44] {Threei} and I risked missing it to type it in time for you

[11:45] {dino} tif sm s .70, stop .01

[11:45] {Threei} nah, just 25 cents

[11:45] {Threei} and -13 on the balance

[11:45] {magoo} C pummel

[11:45] {Threei} so all in all washout

[11:46] {Threei} but risk was small enough to try

[11:46] {magoo} no..it was good

[11:47] {magoo} lesson for room vad here...on stops..point out this because we been pushuing momo of late

[11:47] {Threei} momo or not... stop is stop

[11:48] {magoo} im trying to show down side of these type so newer traders dont get crushed

[11:48] {nemo} 50.50 was the low of yesterday, bounced

[11:48] {Threei} it's not for discussion, it's not for thinking, it's not for second guessing

[11:48] {Threei} it's for taking

[11:49] {dino} vad, the machine

[11:49] {nemo} Yep, I might have problems taking trades, but I got no problem taking stops

[11:49] {magoo} if it loses 50..UGH

[11:49] {Threei} then I have just an idea nemo

[11:49] {Threei} how about you take some of mine

[11:50] {nemo} stops...I never don't take them, slippage some times but that's it

[11:50] {Threei} AIG momo is just as good on the downside...

[11:50] {Threei} too bad we don't have inventory for it

[11:50] {Threei} would be thing of beauty to make money off it on both sides

[11:51] {magoo} was just thinkoing that

[11:51] {Threei} 'cause you know... it will take just one more idiot on CNBC giving it $500 target for it to drop 20 bucks more

[11:51] {nemo} other financials, except for GS falling

[11:52] {nemo} mmmmhhhhh fas and aig look alot alike

[11:54] {Threei} nice setup wulff

[11:54] {nemo} I understand, but we can't make money on the downside of aig

The day started nicely with 40 cents HIG long trade off a pullback, continued with AIG and IMMUlong trades, and then it was all about AIG. August ends with a great run so far.

Session Time: Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 2009

[08:05] {Threei} Wednesday, August 26, 2009 8:43:34 PM

[08:05] {Threei} FT comments on the recent gains in shares of AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

[08:05] {Threei} - AIG has risen by 150% since Aug 3, and shares of Fannie and Freddie have both gained about 250%.

[08:05] {Threei} - A combination of rumors, momentum and the low cost of the shares have all contributed to the moves in the shares.

[08:05] {Threei} - The gains in shares of Fannie and Freddie have been partially driven by the recent stabilization of the US housing market and speculation that the US government would extend its tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

[08:05] {Threei} - Trading has also been driven by a recent widely read analysis of Fannie and Freddie's long-term earnings potential by John Hempton, portfolio manager at Bronte Capital.

[08:05] {Threei} - A short squeeze may also be partially responsible for the share price gains.

[08:06] {Threei} (US) Reportedly, the Fed is seeking to delay disclosing its emergency lending data

[08:06] {Threei} - On Aug 24, a Manhattan judge ruled that the Fed had until Aug 31 to disclose its daily reports on borrowing by banks and other financial firms.

[08:06] {Threei} Fed's lacker: Housing and autos are no longer drag on GDP

[08:30] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 570K V 565KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 6.133M V 6.242ME

[08:30] {Threei} - Prior jobless claims revised from 576K to K

[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims revised from 6.241M to ...more... (related SHY SPY EUR/USD USD/JPY USO IYM RTH )

[08:30] {Threei} *Q2 PRELIMINARY GDP ANNUALIZED: -1.0% V -1.5%E; PERSONAL CONSUMPTION: -1.0% V -1.3%E

[13:21] {larisa} yes

[13:22] {nemo} sensitive, isn't he...

[13:22] {Threei} that's me

[13:22] {Threei} just wanted to offer the way 48.20 became a short level

[13:22] {Threei} any guesses?

[13:22] {larisa} i was looking at it, i want to know :)

[13:23] {Threei} inquiring mind...

[13:23] {Threei} unlike nemo's

[13:23] {nemo} old support becomes new resistance?

[13:23] {larisa} what time entry ?

[13:23] {Threei} [12:55] {Threei} just tried 48.20

[13:23] {brian3579} my guess same as nemo

[13:23] {Threei} it is, as far as entry on bounce goes,

[13:24] {nemo} poor brian...he doesn't know about me

[13:24] {Threei} but before that there was a bigger picture:

[13:24] {Threei} yeah brian, before I continue, keep in mind:

[13:24] {Threei} having same thoughts as nemo is a very bothersome sign

[13:24] {brian3579} haha

[13:24] {Threei} in that big picture we have:

[13:24] {nemo} jump now

[13:25] {Threei} double top at 50 (beautiful call by wqullf),

[13:25] {brian3579} light volume on move back too 48.20

[13:25] {Threei} 48 area is a bottom between two tops,,

[13:25] {brian3579} i see

[13:25] {brian3579} thats why im back not the jokes

[13:25] {Threei} retested at 12:05 - 12:10,

[13:25] {Threei} lower high,

[13:26] {Threei} slow slide into 48.20,

[13:26] {Threei} little consolidation,

[13:26] {Threei} the breakdown and sharp drop.

[13:26] {Threei} Volume spike on hat drop,

[13:27] {Threei} then bounce into former support, now resistance (nemo and brian's idea, bery very afraid of the company brian)

[13:27] {Threei} volume drying up on the bounce,

[13:27] {Threei} and that's that.

[13:27] {Threei} Break charts by elements, identify all these simple patterns,

[13:28] {Threei} you get your play structured and served on a dish with blue rim

[13:28] {larisa} so at what point you know that momo is gone and technicals are back? :)

[13:28] {Threei} CNBC guest

[13:28] {larisa} lol

[13:28] {Threei} :)

[13:28] {nemo} I just can't watch

[13:28] {Threei} seriously... assigning insnae targets to a stock that went through such run, and stock drops after that

[13:29] {Threei} what else do you need to call a top, lol

[13:29] {nemo} dead chicken

[13:29] {nemo} coupla diagrams

[13:29] {nemo} Ouija board

[13:30] {nemo} magic words

[13:38] {Threei} [13:25] {brian3579} thats why im back not the jokes

[13:38] {Threei} now, we all know that is not true

[13:39] {brian3579} haha

[13:54] {Threei} DRYS Dry bulk shipping stocks moving higher in last 30 minutes

[13:54] {Threei} - the strength may be attributable to China Cosco, Asia's largest shipping firm by market value... (6.26, +0.57, 10.02%) more... (related EGLE DSX 1919.HK )

[13:55] {Threei} stating in its earnings release this morning that it would consider cancelling or postponing new container ship orders (thus easing concerns about a container ship glut).

[15:24] {magoo} i had to deal with mr. popst :)

[15:25] {magoo} if u know what i mean

[15:27] {Threei} I am afraid to think

[15:27] {magoo} then dont think..thats what your best at lol

[15:28] {Threei} lol, true

[15:29] {magoo} careful AIG

[15:29] {magoo} watch out below

[15:29] {Threei} 50 remained unbroken

[15:29] {Threei} not good for continuation

[15:29] {Threei} very mucxh looks like blow-off top so far

[15:29] {magoo} will or could be great launch pad at another date boss

[15:30] {magoo} just like 35 was this time

[15:30] {Threei} will need tomorrow as confirmation

[15:30] {Threei} this CNBC guest is what makes me think, top is more likely

[15:31] {Threei} if we had 5 of them bashing AIG

[15:31] {Threei} yet it would proceed higher

[15:31] {Threei} I would sy buy and hold for aniother 20 points

[15:31] {Threei} but having hype with insane tragets and drop after that...

[15:34] {magoo} are u thinkuing top AIG or u calling top like all the other 85% of the clowns ouit there

[15:34] {nemo} whoa

[15:35] {Threei} well... while clowns called top I was saying up,

[15:35] {dino} what about other 15% clowns?

[15:36] {nemo} statistical outliers?

[15:36] {dino} thats why you pay me to be here

[15:37] {Threei} let me put it this way mags

[15:37] {Threei} my general motto is, trend continues until it's obviously borken, and I don't like goling against it, no matter how high or low price seems to be,

[15:37] {Threei} there is always room for higher, and almost always for lower.

[15:38] {dino} would you like me to throw something at him?

[15:38] {Threei} always dino, thank you

[15:38] {dino} lol

[15:38] {Threei} But in this case AIG is more likely to be done than not,

[15:38] {dino} brian got out of aes way too soon

[15:38] {dino} aef

[15:38] {Threei} and if yesterday or today I was very easy to convince that it was going higher

[15:38] {magoo} i just was wonderuiing if you are tented up with clowns calling for major pllbk here..or the other clowns long

[15:38] {Threei} it would have to work much harder to convince me tomorrow

[15:39] {Threei} dino... make sure it's very heavy and has sharp edges

[15:39] {dino} just threw a stress ball at him

[15:48] {Threei} - FDIC's Bair: It is important to have alternative source of capital to assist minimizing losses to the Deposit Insurance fund as banks industry still faces serious challenges; prospects for future growth have improved.

[15:48] {Threei} - FDIC staff suggests 10% Tier 1 common equity capital ratio vs 15% prior

[15:48] {Threei} - Note: The FDIC is meeting today on a variety of issues including a policy on private equity investments in failed banks; guidelines under consideration considered less stringent than prior rules according to the OCC

[12:40] {Threei} MTXX has it

[12:40] {Threei} watch it to get a feel for these patterns

[12:41] {magoo} going vertical

[12:41] {Threei} how deep pillbacks are, how it acts after breaks

[12:41] {Threei} buold your idea of the way to play momos

[12:41] {Threei} as I said before, we will have more of these

[12:41] {Threei} so use these early birds to study

[12:42] {Threei} the idea here is, in most cases I won't be able to call exact entries on thewm

[12:42] {Threei} it's rare case when they form such perfect setups as HGSI just did

[12:43] {Threei} so, as soon as we identify a stock as momo play, you need to be able to observe it jst briefly in order to come up with the way to play it,

[12:43] {Threei} and it requires watching them for a while to get a feel for them.

[12:43] {Threei} Then we all will be like many little magoos

[12:44] {Threei} (dino is frightened by this perspective but what can we do...)

[13:48] {Threei} Opinion (and we know what they say about those):

[13:48] {Threei} As a percentage of GDP current national debt is at about the same level as it was during the Eisenhower administration. This is not good but the U.S. has managed much higher debt levels in the past (120% of GDP during WWII) and other countries have rebounded from much worse debt situations in recent history.

[08:49] {nemo} well the rally continues

[08:53] {Threei} why wouldn't it

[08:54] {nemo} I wasn't looking for a reason

[08:54] {Threei} broad call for reversal was too, ummm, broad

[08:54] {nemo} yeah

[08:54] {nemo} By the way...a preemptive "You're home already, Vad"

[08:56] {Threei} sigh

[08:58] {cosmo} BRCD

[08:58] {nemo} aig

[09:00] {cosmo} * Fiscal Q3 revenue $493.3 mln, lower than estimate and Q2

[09:00] {cosmo} * EPS excluding items $0.12 vs Street view $0.11

[09:00] {cosmo} * Shares fall 5.6 pct after-hours

[09:00] {cosmo} * CEO says predicting recovery "like grabbing water"

[09:01] {cosmo} what goes down, must float up

[09:01] {cosmo} sorta

[09:04] {Threei} hmmm

[09:04] {Threei} dunno cosmo

[09:04] {Threei} I just tested your theory

[09:04] {magoo} morn

[09:04] {cosmo} what gets pushed down, must float back up?

06[09:04] * nemo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout

[09:05] {Threei} aside of hitting my toe, iron didn't do any good after falling down,

[09:05] {Threei} certainly no slightest attempt to float up

[09:05] {Threei} magoo :)

[09:05] {magoo} so vad..what was verdic on getco rte?

[09:05] {cosmo} use an empty, sealed vessel....

[09:06] {Threei} great if there are shares at the price you want,

[09:06] {Threei} instant fill or kill, speed is next to lightening,

[09:06] {Threei} saves a bunch on pass-through,

[09:07] {nemo} no secondary routing though

[09:07] {Threei} since you'd have to try another route if there are no shares on GETCO, and at the time being there is no routing out on it,

[09:07] {Threei} best way to use it is:

[09:07] {Threei} set hot key for it and for the second route,

[09:08] {Threei} so you can hot both of them in a quick succession if GETCO doesn't get you shares,

[09:08] {Threei} probably forget it if there is a very fast stock you want

[09:09] {Threei} not because it's slow but because you'll lose some time on an attempt

[09:10] {Threei} We will be able to use it to its full advantage when Bear delivers smart route that goes to GETCO first,

[09:10] {Threei} then switches to other routes

[09:12] {magoo} ok

[09:12] {Threei} in case you want to try, I set keys:

[09:12] {Threei} Shift+G to buy on GETCO,

[09:13] {Threei} Shift + B market buy smart route,

[09:13] {Threei} Ctrl+G to sell on GETCO,

[09:13] {Threei} Ctrl+S market sell smart

[09:14] {magoo} what u watching?

[09:14] {magoo} rtk may be a play

[09:14] {Threei} can add anything you want to bid, offer, use other routes etc, as long as you can remember them, but the general idea is:

[09:14] {magoo} CRM too

[09:14] {Threei} all buys start with shift, all sells start with Ctrl

[09:17] {Threei} Fed's Bullard: Antendees of the Jackson Hole symposium are "cautiously optimistic" - TV interiew

[09:49] {nemo} ex, or im

[09:50] {Threei} I can't take that into account until it does something: breaks that level or gets rejected

[09:51] {Threei} simply being there is not much indicative by itself

[09:51] {Threei} it's what it does aroiund the resistance that matters

[15:44] {Threei} House Majority Leader Hoyer says public option may have to be dropped in order to pass healthcare reform bill - Politico.com

[10:52] {magoo} GET AWAY HERE

[10:52] {magoo} losing power it feels

[10:53] {magoo} [10:39] {magoo} 35 today...no shit

[10:53] {Threei} when pullback comes it will be just as devastating for bulls as runup was/is for bears

[10:53] {nemo} volume has been dropping since 9:50

[10:53] {magoo} right vad, drop of 3 points

[10:54] {Threei} now let it rest a bit,

[10:54] {fernp} a bit faster than bac but not much more

[10:54] {Threei} then do this:

[10:54] {nemo} that's an understatement...ow...that hurt

[10:55] {Threei} when you feel it finished churning and shaking

[10:55] {Threei} and ready to resume

[10:55] {nemo} Hey Dino, Mags buying drinks tonight

[10:55] {Threei} skip first play you see,

[10:55] {magoo} thanx..thats good advice

[10:55] {Threei} and trade it as you see fit with half of what you did in these 6 plays

[10:55] {magoo} cant win everyone

[10:56] {Threei} one biggest mistake you can make now is:

[10:56] {magoo} really got lucky

[10:56] {Threei} take the play, see it going against you, double down

[10:56] {Threei} this is what can destroy your winnings

[10:56] {magoo} yea..triple down..blow all stops lose like 5k OUCH

[10:56] {Threei} yup

[10:56] {Threei} happens to many after such winning streak,

[10:57] {Threei} caused by feeling that you know this stock now,

[10:57] {magoo} unfortunately...ive experienced that scenario

[10:57] {Threei} own it

[10:57] {Threei} can't lose on it

[11:00] {Threei} US Treasury to sell $42B 2-year notes, $39B 5-year notes, and $29B in 7-year notes

[11:06] {Threei} AIG pace picks up again

[11:13] {_phreeboy} what would you say AIG would have to hold to continue up?

[11:14] {cosmo} PETM test ....again

[11:14] {magoo} its not that kind of stok

[11:14] {Threei} I don't think there are technicals to AIG

[11:14] {magoo} it could easily red bar down to 31

[14:34] {_phreeboy} from this point what are the chances of AIG going long (own it and considering holding overnight)?

[14:35] {Threei} 50/50

[14:35] {Threei} total gambling

[14:35] {Threei} this thing can open at 40 and at 15 tomorrow with the same odds amd easiness

[14:36] {Threei} feel like in casino?

[14:37] {Threei} SBUX WSJ: Company to begin charging approx $0.25 more for certain drinks, less for others; effective Thursday in certain cities

[14:37] {Threei} - Customers to pay more for larger and complex drinks; less for smaller and more basic drinks

[14:37] {_phreeboy} better odds at craps with right hedge bets

[14:37] {Threei} there you go

[14:37] {Threei} I can't imagine why you would want to take it overnight - other than pure gambling

[14:38] {Threei} volatility is extreme, gaps can be huge

[14:38] {Threei} trading is about risk control

[14:38] {Threei} and you give up any resemblense of it by taking home such monster

[14:41] {Threei} how's this for volatility?

[14:43] {_phreeboy} do you use trend lines?

[14:43] {Threei} yes

[14:45] {fernp} BAC bounce?

[14:45] {Threei} I doubt it

[14:45] {Threei} gotta give them more room to fall before bounces become likely

[14:46] {Threei} this is that interim stage, you know...

[14:46] {Threei} when each leg down seems to be good enough for bounce

[14:46] {fernp} yes only five cents drop

[14:46] {Threei} but in reality leads to endless stops

[14:46] {Threei} jump in too early a few times,

[14:46] {Threei} and those stops however well controlled, eliminate all you made before

[14:49] {fernp} agree

Aug 19 2009

Nice even though boring (what else is new) day. HURN, CAT, RTK, AIG scalps and nice long trade on AXL. With all the traditional August inactivity, we are fairly consistent - in both profits and boredom for hours while market is locked in a tight range.

[10:00] {nemo} funny "ha ha" or funny strange?

[10:00] {dino} just plain funny

[10:01] {nemo} thought we'd be a bit more granular

[10:01] {Threei} it may make some significant difference for you... but don't me think too much, especially on Monday

[10:01] {magoo} see..aapl had alot of trouble with 163..so i adjusted exit

[10:01] {Threei} or Tuesday

[10:01] {nemo} sorry

[10:01] {Threei} or... you get the drift

[10:01] {magoo} may still go..look to reload if set up appears

[10:04] {nemo} on the five minute chart aapl, could be a bear flag

[10:09] {Threei} BAC interesting resilience

[10:11] {Threei} compare 1 min JPM and BAC

[10:11] {Threei} looks like there is following here

[10:11] {Threei} and JPM break of .20 should signal BAC to break .70

[10:12] {Threei} also, looks like there is a magnitude correlation as well, 10 cents JPM move translate into 5 cents BAC

[10:17] {cosmo} idcc = red salmon

[10:19] {BillyD} VAd, HIG held last bit of selling pretty well, maybe long candidate

[10:32] {BillyD} yeah

[10:33] {Threei} it doesn't matter... it's symbolic gesture

[10:33] {BillyD} yeah, and you aren't going anywhere anyhow :)

[10:33] {nemo} So when you go to work you roll out of bed and sit at your computer in your underwear

[10:33] {Threei} I tested GETCO guys

[10:33] {Threei} on BAC and JPM

[10:34] {Threei} instant fills on both

[10:34] {Threei} some miniscule pass-through charge, nothing even close to usual ECNs

[10:34] {nemo} so good for listeds

[10:34] {Threei} can't use it to lay out

[10:34] {Threei} it's fill or kill

[10:35] {Threei} so I assume it's some variation of that darned flash order {G}

[10:35] {nemo} which could be a problem trying to get out on a stop

[10:35] {Threei} I am not sure it's good for any listed, nemo,

[10:35] {Threei} if I am right about what it is,

[10:36] {Threei} it could be kind of selective deal,

[10:36] {Threei} great if there is a liquidity on this route for specific stock,

[10:36] {Threei} useless if there is none.

[10:36] {Threei} Now, what Bear is working on right now is:

[10:36] {Threei} smart route that will start with GETCO,

[10:37] {Threei} and switch to other routes if there is no fill on it

[10:37] {Threei} thus trying to save you money first, then giving you sure fill if no go on cheapest route.

[10:37] {Threei} This way the main shoertcoming of GETCO gets remeduated

[10:37] {Threei} shirtcoming being, no route out on it

[10:38] {Threei} I'll try it on other listeds and NASDAQ, will report as I observe more on how it works

[10:39] {Threei} (as you can guewss, I finally upgraded my Laser, lol)

[10:42] {Threei} market is frozen

[10:45] {wulff} somebody do something

[10:45] {Threei} why

[10:46] {Threei} you guys are insatiable

[10:46] {wulff} gives me a chance to open my next beer

[10:46] {Threei} 6 for 6, and still you are hungry

[10:46] {Threei} oh beer...

[10:46] {Threei} hmmm

[10:46] {Threei} now that's the concept I may get excited about

[10:51] {BillyD} Vad, on BAC .65 long and .60 stop, do you count a 1:1 at .70 or .72 to include the 1 cent for break of .66 and 1cent stop at .59

[10:51] {Threei} I am not very anal-retentive about that

[10:52] {Threei} look at it this way:

[10:52] {Threei} if your formal 1:1 is .72,

[10:52] {Threei} stock reaches .71

[10:52] {Threei} and you see market stalling or reversing,

[10:52] {Threei} your leader (JPM in theis case) reversing,

[10:52] {BillyD} understand logic, was just clarifying

[10:52] {Threei} and your stock showing weakness

[10:53] {Threei} will you insist on .72 or shrug and grab .71

[10:53] {Threei} and to the heck with that 1 cent

[10:53] {Threei} also, 1:1 level as the spot where they more often than not reverse or pause - it's just a concept

[10:54] {Threei} it's not necessary that literal

[10:54] {Threei} so there is a room for diascretion here

[10:54] {Threei} as with everything in the market

[10:54] {BillyD} true

[11:03] {Threei} NY Fed: Purchased $7.01B in $300B outright coupons purchase; Dealers submitted $15.94B for consideration (bid to cover 2.27)

[11:03] {Threei} - Heaviest purchase was $4.56B in the 06/30/14 maturity

[11:03] {Threei} Note: Avg bid to cover for prior four auctions is 3.

[11:03] {Threei} is 3.28

[11:11] {BillyD} kind of mixed how stocks are reacting to the new mkt lows

[11:14] {larisa} HURN is happy all of a sudden

[11:14] {Threei} with no news

[11:16] {Threei} CX CEO: Not expecting volumes in cement to come back to its peak levels for at least 5 years

[11:16] {Threei} mobsters switched to garotta?

06[11:17] * Threei is looking for a manufacturer of piano strings

[11:17] {BillyD} cement boot sales are down lol

[11:17] {nemo} well, when all the people go belly up on their lone shark lones, they'll go back up

[11:25] {Threei} GETCO worked on LVS just as instantly

[11:26] {BillyD} are you hitting bid/offer prices

[11:26] {Threei} yes, no other way with this route

[11:26] {Threei} also, passthrough is slightly higher on sell side, probably some kind of regulatory fee

[11:26] {Threei} so the ideal way is,

[11:26] {Threei} get in with GETCO, offer it out with ECN that offers rebate

[11:27] {BillyD} good idea

[11:27] {Threei} and make your commissions next to non-exixtent

[11:27] {BillyD} is GETCO like a pool?

[11:27] {Threei} andf if have to bail out, again use GETCO

[11:27] {Threei} sure feels like it

[11:27] {Threei} logistics of it are ones of a dark pool as far as I can tell

[11:28] {BillyD} does Laser still charge us regular commission?

[11:28] {Threei} yes

[11:28] {BillyD} just not the ecn fees

[11:28] {Threei} right

[11:28] {BillyD} ok

[11:29] {Threei} but by getting ECN rebate you effectfively eat into commissions

[11:29] {BillyD} yup

[11:29] {Threei} if you manage to get rebate on both sides of the trade, your commissions will be laughable

[11:29] {BillyD} just have to make sure there is liquidity

[11:29] {Threei} it's not really easy way to trade,

[11:29] {Threei} as we prefer to enter with momentum

[11:29] {Threei} it's mostly exit where we offer into momemntum

[11:30] {Threei} so GETCO in, ECN lay out seems to be the best way

[11:30] {Threei} with variations like:

[11:30] {Threei} try to bid at your idea price,

[11:30] {BillyD} yes and won't be able to pay over entry price in case miss it

[11:30] {Threei} and keep GETCO ready to hit offer if becomes clear tou won't get your bid hit

[11:31] {Threei} for quick switching between routes may want to use programmable keys

[11:31] {Threei} just be careful with that, room for errors is bigger

[11:32] {BillyD} it would have to be faster than manual

[11:32] {Threei} fat fingers, ya know

[11:32] {Threei} yes

[11:33] {Threei} but it's really easy to program "shift-X key for GETCO entry", "shift Y key for bidding on ISLD, etc

[11:33] {nemo} or shift G and Shift I

[11:34] {Threei} that's the idea, pick those that you can memorize easily

[11:34] {BillyD} how iwll it know how many shares to inseryt

[11:34] {BillyD} does it default

[11:34] {Threei} ask dp, he is expert in key shortcuts

[11:34] {BillyD} ok

[11:38] {BillyD} Vad, you watching BAC

[11:38] {Threei} yes but I don't know what to make of it

[11:39] {nemo} kinda looks like spy

[11:39] {wulff} LVS slow steady

[11:40] {Threei} C Reports July Master Trust; Net Charge offs 10.03% v 10.51% m/m

[11:40] {Threei} - Delinquencies % v 5.49% m/m

[11:40] {Threei} - 5-34 days $2.63B v $2.41B m/m

[11:41] {Threei} I don't emember this kind of reports

[11:41] {Threei} new fashion trend I guess

[11:44] {Threei} tried GETCO on HURN

[11:45] {Threei} inconsisten... two entry attempts were rejected, then third saudcdently gave a perfect fill

[11:45] {Threei} for exit swicthed ti NASDAQ

[11:46] {Threei} not sure what it means

[11:46] {BillyD} if no shares available maybe

[11:46] {BillyD} at that price

[11:47] {Threei} I guess... lack of route out makes it work differently from what we are used to

[11:47] {larisa} can you use Getco with limit couple cents higher than the ask?

[11:47] {Threei} that's what I did

[11:48] {BillyD} did it give price improvement

[11:48] {Threei} yes

[11:48] {Threei} hit existing offer

[11:48] {Threei} huh... it just allowed me to bid

[11:48] {BillyD} and, was the order that was filled above the offer

[11:49] {Threei} I guess its NASDAQ logic is diferent

[11:49] {Threei} hmm?

[11:49] {Threei} I hit .91 while .87 was available, got .87

[11:49] {BillyD} order filled, was your limit price above current offer

[11:49] {BillyD} ok

[11:50] {magoo} HURN is crazy

[11:50] {Threei} just got .06 and offered .13

[11:50] {Threei} allowed me to offer

[11:50] {Threei} so you can add liquidity on NASDAQ via it it seems, but not on listeds

[11:50] {Threei} just no point as there is no rebate

[11:50] {nemo} so, if you're waiting for a break, you better wait for the break

[11:50] {Threei} better to offer on ECN

[11:51] {magoo} positive news COF just now

[11:51] {Threei} I don't see any

[11:52] {magoo} 11:48 its there, no biggie, better than expected managed and trust data metrics for july etc

[11:53] {magoo} frwakin HURN VAD

[11:53] {magoo} its getting the feel

[11:53] {Threei} wow

[11:53] {Threei} you have some seriously delayed news feed mags

[11:54] {magoo} time stamopp 11:48

[11:54] {Threei} have a look at time stamp:

[11:54] {Threei} Monday, August 17, 2009 6:05:47 AM

[11:54] {Threei} Capital One Financial Corp Reports July Master Trust; Net charge offs: 9.83% v 9.73% m/m - filing

[11:54] {Threei} whoever supplies you with news, tell them to go, ummm

[11:54] {magoo} oh shit

[11:54] {Threei} let me think where

[11:55] {Threei} but while I am thinking, rest assured it's very remote, daerk and stinkin' place

[11:56] {Threei} just tried to bid MSFT below the market - rejection

[11:56] {Threei} I am not sure I understand the mechanics of this route for bidding/offering

[11:56] {Threei} luckily, no need

[12:03] {dino} .

[12:10] {Threei} GURN big pullback

[12:11] {Threei} HURN too

[12:11] {Threei} quickest way to switch from GETCO to standard route on NASDQ stock:

[12:12] {Threei} uncheck Route on/off

[12:12] {Threei} I am having an exploraion day today, lol

[12:13] {BillyD} is this box on L2

[12:13] {Threei} yup

[12:13] {Threei} to the right of Cancle button

[12:14] {Threei} pleasantly enough, I manage to combine testing with profit

[12:14] {Threei} normally it's not what happenming, lol

[12:15] {BillyD} we have different L2 windows

[12:15] {Threei} then you don't have this line checked:

[12:16] {Threei} ugh, wait

[12:16] {Threei} it's somewhere in different place in this version

[12:16] {BillyD} in view

[12:17] {BillyD} advanced button style

[12:17] {Threei} yes

[12:17] {Threei} used to be in different place in menu

[12:17] {BillyD} with the box unchecked how does it route

[12:17] {Threei} default

[12:18] {BillyD} which is

[12:18] {Threei} for NASDAQ it's, wait it

[12:18] {Threei} drum roll

[12:18] {Threei} NASDAQ route

[12:18] {Threei} for listeds MLCO I believe

[12:18] {Threei} which I rarelt like

[12:19] {BillyD} is the D+ buy/sell button for day plus orders

[12:20] {Threei} ?

[12:20] {Threei} where is it?

[12:20] {BillyD} in L2 window

[12:20] {BillyD} at bottom

[12:20] {BillyD} under market buttons

[12:21] {Threei} I don't have it

[12:21] {Threei} ahha

[12:21] {Threei} here it is

[12:21] {Threei} no idea

[12:21] {Threei} let's torture dave

[12:21] {BillyD} ok, I see what you have

[12:22] {Threei} there is a manual of course

[12:22] {Threei} but heck... we never ask for directions, do we

[12:22] {BillyD} it's pretty outdated

[12:23] {BillyD} can we put in orders good til cancelled

[12:23] {Threei} I don't think so

[13:20] {Threei} http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1206018/Squirrel-crashes-holiday-snaps-How-cheeky-rodent-star-couples-photos.html

[13:21] {nemo} can't make that stuff up

[13:22] {Threei} notice: camera refocused on squirrel

[13:22] {Threei} original subject became a bit blurry

[13:22] {nemo} yeah

[13:23] {Threei} BCRX...

[13:25] {Threei} judging by daily and volume, has a nice chance to become a runner one day

[13:43] {Threei} RMBS Reportedly wins ruling in antitrust case against chip manufacturers

[13:43] {Threei} - Note: there had been much speculation circulating over possible court case wins in the last 24

[13:47] {dino} rtp sm l .40

[13:53] {Threei} more than two hours in 5 points NQ range

[13:54] {nemo} quite the roller coaster

[14:03] {dino} yes indeed

[14:07] {magoo} freakin BAC

[14:07] {magoo} B

[14:07] {magoo} A

[14:07] {magoo} C

[14:14] {Threei} I see no news

[14:16] {Threei} the pace of trading says, "I am going higher"

[14:17] {magoo} yea..somethingss up..never fell with mkt rot

[14:17] {nemo} paulson bought all those shares

[14:19] {Threei} let's try off pullback if dives into 17?

[14:19] {Threei} or .20 break if stays above .10

[14:19] {Threei} actually .19 new high

[14:21] {Threei} offering half .31, 1/4 at .45 and 1/4 at .65

[14:22] {magoo} in w/u

[14:22] {magoo} stop?

[14:23] {Threei} [14:19] {Threei} ... if stays above .10

[14:23] {magoo} ops

[14:28] {magoo} hope its not topping here

[14:29] {larisa} 17.21 res, need to break and stay above it

[14:29] {Threei} .25 you mean

[14:29] {larisa} mine is .21 :)

[14:29] {nemo} r1 is almost .26

[14:29] {larisa} mine is Camarilla :)

[14:34] {Threei} {Paulson} no way it was top

[14:34] {Threei} see how pace picks up?

[14:34] {Threei} that's you clue o runners

[14:35] {Threei} and look at volume configuration

[14:35] {Threei} this slower trading, pause, retreat with volume somewhat drying up,

[14:35] {Threei} then sharp spike in both price and volume

[14:35] {Threei} this kind tends to go big

[14:35] {Threei} much bigger than a scalp, this is momo

[14:36] {Threei} even if you are not trading it, watch

[14:36] {Threei} memorize

[14:36] {Threei} we will have more of those come fall

[14:36] {Threei} first target hit, half out

[14:37] {Threei} so, learn to recognize them

[14:38] {Threei} and watch for patterns

[14:40] {Threei} TM DoT discloses 'cash for clunkers' data; TM is top seller with approx 19% of sales

[14:40] {Threei} new highs, pace increases again

[14:41] {Threei} second target approaches

[14:41] {Threei} 1:2

[14:41] {larisa} ever heard of Camarilla system? this is what is happening on BAC. from 16.79 support to 17.21 res. Traders short 17.21. if it breaks, the cover and watch for major break at 17.42. After breaking it : it can become runner. Well known system

[14:42] {larisa} just sharing :)

[14:42] {Threei} where do these numbers come from?

[14:42] {larisa} calculated in certain way

[14:43] {Threei} second target hit, .45, 1/4 more out

[14:43] {jmb} Thanks Vad

[14:43] {Threei} welcome

[14:43] {Threei} we end the week with a bang, not with a whimper

[14:44] {Threei} too bad Billy anf fern left

[14:44] {magoo} [14:07] {magoo} freakin BAC

[14:44] {Threei} your point is...?

[14:44] {larisa} lol

[14:44] {Threei} BAC Hearing strength being attributed to expected Master Trust data due out within next few days (17.39, +0.39, 2.29%)

[14:45] {nemo} aahhhhh,,,the old master trust data...

[14:45] {Threei} lol

[14:45] {Threei} btw, stop for the last piece is under .20

[14:46] {Threei} with other speculation circulating that Paulson and Co intend to hold on to recently disclosed holdings

[14:46] {Threei} of course he is so eager to telegraph his intentions to entire world

[14:47] {Threei} I am sure he will also tell us when he sells couple days in advance

[14:47] {_prth} thank you BAC:D

[14:47] {Threei} welcome

[14:48] {Threei} when you get familiar with these patterns to the degree they become practically "sure thing" to you, great fun will be:

[14:49] {Threei} grab 5-10K shares as close to support as you can,

[14:49] {Threei} and feed them out gradually as stock movesd through your targets

[14:49] {Threei} one such trade makes a week

[14:50] {Threei} Note: Master Trust data usually released in the middle of each month, expected early next week

[14:50] {magoo} BACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

[14:51] {Threei} oh, and get drunk while at it

[14:51] {Threei} works for magoo as you can see

[14:51] {magoo} hiccup

[14:51] {_prth} VADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD great call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[14:52] {Threei} there... drunkeness takes over

[14:52] {Threei} BACHUS, BACUS. Bacchus is a Lydian name for Dionysus, the Thracian fertility god. A son of Jupiter, he later became the god of wine

[14:53] {Threei} don't confuse for Spencer Thomas Bachus III

[14:53] {Threei} Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1993, representing Alabama's 6th congressional district.

[14:54] {Threei} sheesh... August IS a slow month

[14:54] {Threei} double tiop BACX

[14:54] {Threei} BAC

[14:54] {Threei} lost support between peaks

[14:56] {Threei} did we vindicate ourselves for yesterday's lacklustre 2 out of 5 or what

[15:02] {Threei} stop to under .30

[10:47] {Threei} at any other moment, CHK 27.80 break would be irresistible

[10:47] {Threei} that's how I usually see it

[10:47] {magoo} have faith in your minyons

[10:48] {Threei} but these cries after 2-3 stops are demoralizing :)

[12:27] {patel} what kind of stop u looking at for HIG

[12:27] {patel} below 19.60

[12:29] {Threei} I'd prefer .55, .60 may be a bit too stingy

[12:30] {Threei} but easy to trail as soon as next resistance is broken

[12:30] {Threei} which is .80

[12:32] {magoo} in hig-mont

[12:38] {Threei} my response to pressure differs depending on time of the year

[12:39] {nemo} yeah, you might get dino collaterally

[12:39] {Threei} in August it's "good bye, see you after Labor day, when the volume and activity return. Until then, if you don't want to put up with sporadic activity, just take vacation"

[12:40] {Threei} I mean come on... aside of last year which was complete anomaly, have you ever seen t=radeable August?

[12:41] {Threei} if we are making 3 profitable days each week, we need to be highlighted in the next Guiness book

[12:41] {nemo} the beer?

[13:43] {Threei} btw, speaking of great offers... fern, any chance you would drop to Tarragona on my behalf?

[15:18] {patel} Speculation is that the LVS halt is likely due to an announcement that could improve the company's liquidity position -- possibly some sort of capital raising event (potentially an IPO of Maccau assets in Hong Kong Market, convertible bond offering, selling of a minority stake, or financing for stalled projects), or possibly a covenant waiver/amendment...

[13:42] {Threei} Preview: FOMC rate decision and statement due out around 2:15pmET

[13:42] {Threei} **the FOMC is expected to hold rates again at 0.25% today, and consensus expectation seems to be that the committee will be reluctant to make serious modifications to its accompanying statement for fear of rocking the boat. The Fed has observed the recent improvements in data such as the pick-up in home sales, and the pace of job losses decreasing, and the optimism exemplified by the rising stock market. This should allow the FOMC to take more of a wait and see stance at this meeting, and the statement will likely repeat its forecasts for "exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period" and "inflation will remain subdued for some time."

[13:43] {Threei} The FOMC's commentary on its asset purchase programs will be a major focus, particularly the $300B Treasury purchase program that it announced in March and is expected to be fully exhausted by mid-September. In his Congressional testimony last month, Bernanke declined to announce the fate of the program only stating that it is a "continuing topic of discussion for the FOMC." The Fed could comment today on whether it will extend or conclude the program in September, but it could also choose to stay silent on the future of the program, relying on the open ended language of the prior statement that the committee "will continue to evaluate the timing and overall amounts of its purchases of securities in light of the evolving economic outloo

[13:43] {Threei} outlook" and will "make adjustments to its credit and liquidity programs as warranted." The Fed announcing a replenishment of the Treasury purchase program would likely be considered a surprise move (but be reminded BOE surprised markets with a 50B increase in its quantitative easing program last week). The Fed could also move to extend its TALF program as an incremental step today.

[09:01] {BillyD} magoo

[09:01] {BillyD} maggo, have a question for you

[09:01] {BillyD} in Laser, what route strategy do you use

[09:01] {BillyD} magoo

[09:02] {magoo} naz

[09:02] {magoo} arca

[09:02] {BillyD} ok, and in the menu do you have INET strategy checked and to what strategy

[09:02] {magoo} but nasdac first choice

[09:03] {magoo} in trade settings?

[09:04] {magoo} billy?

[09:04] {BillyD} no, in the menu at top of software window where it says route after Quote

[09:04] {Threei} you probably have different versions

[09:04] {cosmo} any 'smart routing' in those settings?

[09:04] {BillyD} maybe

[09:05] {Threei} that's default cosmo

[09:05] {larisa} gm :)

[09:05] {Threei} larisa :)

[09:05] {cosmo} default sounds boring

[09:05] {Threei} but it's smart

[09:05] {cosmo} lars:)

[09:06] {BillyD} it would be nice to know exactly how the routes worked

[09:06] {cosmo} yea... it always seems to work that way.....

[09:06] {larisa} vad, cosmo, Billy :)

[09:07] {magoo} billy, up there,,if go to route strategy inet, opens window..cxheck strategy STGY

[09:07] {magoo} but stting in lev 2 important

[09:07] {Threei} right click on Level 2

[09:08] {Threei} look for section saying Default

[09:12] {Threei} fern :)

[09:13] {cosmo} why would you 'not' want to check those boxes?

[09:13] {Threei} no reason

[09:13] {cosmo} hmm

[09:13] {Threei} wel, there is

[09:13] {BillyD} it won't allow me to type in the Naz box magoo

[09:14] {Threei} but it's not for our style of trading

[09:14] {cosmo} oh

[09:14] {Threei} Billy, when you clicked in that box, hit Backspace

[09:14] {Threei} and hold it for a few seconds

[09:14] {Threei} then try to type again

[09:14] {magoo} are u in trade sttings?

[09:16] {BillyD} ok, thx guys

[09:18] {magoo} its slower vad...

[09:18] {magoo} i asked dave

[09:18] {magoo} uncheck them..its for if u trading 200k shjares'

[09:18] {Threei} may be because your EDFX route out was not checked Billy

[09:18] {BillyD} could be, hopefully works now

[09:18] {Threei} EDGX

[09:20] {magoo} thats why

[09:21] {BillyD} could be why I could never get a BATS fill either

[11:21] {BillyD} lol.....I started with the phone

[11:21] {Threei} no home pigeons??

[11:21] {BillyD} nah

[11:21] {magoo} carrier pigeons were the first system vad was promoting when i started

[11:22] {magoo} problem wass dam birds kept returning to vad not me

[11:22] {Threei} dino for instance started with inscribing his orders on stone tabler, delivered by dinosaurs

[11:22] {Threei} yes mags, but that was an upgrade from those stone tablets

[11:22] {BillyD} he's come a long way

[11:22] {magoo} roflol

[11:22] {cosmo} the phone was ... the only way to get real time....

[11:22] {Threei} and mags,

[11:23] {Threei} consider this:

[11:23] {Threei} at the time we considered two alternatives,

[11:23] {Threei} carrier pigeons and smoke signals

[11:23] {BillyD} smoke signals were real time calls

[11:23] {Threei} pigoens won since they did not require direct line of sight

[11:24] {cosmo} phone trades cost $35 too

[11:24] {Threei} there also were drums

[11:24] {cosmo} at discount

[11:25] {cosmo} bottle in the ocean is more high tech i would say

[11:25] {Threei} that's for overseas guys

[11:26] {cosmo} we all take our turn

[11:26] {Threei} Long Setup: BAC 16 break

[11:26] {Threei} if stays above .90

[11:26] {Threei} for scalpers, .95

[11:29] {fernp} in

[11:29] {BillyD} missed BAC, phone order to slow...hehe

[11:29] {dino} petd partial fill l .79

[11:29] {Threei} NY Fed: Purchased $2.7B in $300B outright coupons purchase; Dealers submitted $11.3B for consideration (bid to cover 4.19)

[11:29] {Threei} - Heaviest purchase was $730M in the 11/15/26 maturity

[11:29] {Threei} - Note: Avg bid to cover for prior four auctions is 3.21

[11:29] {Threei} 1:1 for scalpers

[11:31] {laserdave} we shoudl be up guys

[11:32] {laserdave} try to place a bid below market

[11:32] {laserdave} very rare we go down like this

06[11:33] * magoo slaps laserdave around a bit with a large trout

[11:34] {wulff} CAt is holding up well

[11:35] {cosmo} CAT holds up better...

[11:37] {BillyD} WFC short maybe

[11:38] {Threei} not sure here

[11:38] {Threei} snapback time is close

[11:38] {BillyD} looks like trap potential

[11:40] {cosmo} new lods here would not be good imo

[11:41] {Threei} Public support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low as just 42% of U.S. voters now favor the plan. Thats down five points from two weeks ago and down eight points from six weeks ago.

[11:41] {cosmo} ... for longs that is

[11:41] {Threei} no... snapback is coming, IMO

[11:42] {Threei} Long Setup: WFC .10 break if holding above 27

[11:44] {magoo} in

[11:44] {magoo} long aapl .38 too

[11:45] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .90 break if holding above .75

[11:45] {wulff} seems could be more than a scalp?

[11:45] {Threei} if works, yes

[11:47] {dino} pg 30, govt panel decides treatment; pg 50 heathcare to all non-us citizens, including illegal aliens; pg 59 govt electronic access to bank accounts; pg 427 govt mandates programs for end of life; 429 advanced programs for end of life decisions

[11:48] {cosmo} ...but they can't take your freedom

[11:58] {Threei} Long Setup: AIG .70 break

[11:59] {Threei} stop under low of this pullback, .50 is invalidation

[12:04] {nemo} aig again vAD

[12:04] {fernp} BAC if breaks 16.00 (again)

[12:23] {dino} hgsi drop

[12:23] {dino} opps

[12:31] {jfjf64} lkd .80 break

[12:32] {wulff} What's the punishment for blowing a stop and getting away it?

[12:32] {BillyD} did you make profit

[12:32] {wulff} yes

[12:32] {BillyD} then you have to give it out to the room

[12:33] {BillyD} hehe

[12:35] {Threei} punishment will be administered by the market itself

[12:36] {Threei} it lures you into thinking that this is acceptable way to trade, by granting you breakeven or profit on a few of such trades

[12:36] {Threei} then one comes that doesn't come back

[12:36] {Threei} and just proceeds against you more and more

[12:36] {Threei} making taking loss impossible

[12:37] {Threei} keeping you frozen in headlight

[12:37] {Threei} wiping out all those gains you made on previous blown stops

[12:37] {Threei} then all profits on valid trades

[12:37] {Threei} and destroying your account and your confidence

[12:37] {Threei} Saw that zillion times

[12:38] {magoo} and your rectum

[12:39] {Threei} if you think frustration from the trades where you take the stop and they come back is big,

[12:39] {Threei} try one that develops by the scenario I described

[12:39] {Threei} and don't fool yourself thinking it won't happen

[12:40] {magoo} HUH?

[12:40] {Threei} or that you will take a loss on that one

[12:40] {jfjf64} no smiley face for wulff

[12:40] {Threei} you won't - not until it exceeds your pain tolerance

[12:40] {Threei} and until tyou go through all the stages of denial

[12:41] {_prth} when it gaps past your stop do you wait for a retrace to the orignal stop or just take it where it is?

[12:41] {Threei} that's not a day trading situation

[12:41] {Threei} we day trade in order to avoid this kind of hits

[12:42] {Threei} if you elect holding overnight, you add anoter risk control tool:

[12:42] {Threei} position sizing

[12:42] {magoo} everytime i wait for "the " bounce to get out..i get slaughtered..it never comes

[12:42] {Threei} it must be scaled down so gap wouldn't detroy youre account

[12:42] {KSystems} boo

[12:42] {Threei} hey KS!

[12:42] {Threei} welcome back

[12:42] {KSystems} :)

[12:42] {KSystems} thanks

[12:43] {Threei} I am dead serious... of all trading sins you can commit, blown stops WILL kill you

[12:43] {Threei} no ifs and buts,. no two ways about it

[12:43] {Threei} I've seen traders making all kinds of errors,

[12:43] {Threei} some survived some of them,

[12:43] {Threei} but no single one survived blown stops

[12:44] {_prth} on nvax last week the stop was 5.29 and it went from 5.31 to 5.24 on a sharp spike down, i got filled at 5.24 on a manual market out entry. Is that the correct way to handle it?

[12:45] {Threei} well, market orders in generaal not a very good way to trade

[12:45] {_prth} do you limit out on stops?

[12:46] {Threei} yes, limit a few cents beyond targeted price

[12:46] {Threei} also,

[12:46] {Threei} sharp spikes tend to lead to quick reversals

[12:46] {wulff} need to earn my smiley face back

[12:47] {Threei} if a stock whizzes past your price, it's often a good pratice to give it a few seconds for bounce

[12:47] {_prth} so after the sharp spike i should have put in a 5.27 sell?

[12:47] {Threei} but have disaaster stop in place, in case it proceeds against you

[12:48] {Threei} I can't answer it like this, it's a kind of hypotetical situation

[12:48] {Threei} maybe 5.27, may be no sell order in at all, and instead wait for bounce to stall

[12:48] {_prth} you were in the trade how did you exit nvax?

[12:48] {Threei} and try to sell top of the bounce whereevr it occurs

[12:49] {Threei} you asume I remember it?? :)

[12:49] {_prth} sign of a good trader, athlete and pro in general. Forget the past. :)

[12:50] {Threei} believe me, aafter 13 years of trading every day and dozens trades every day,

[12:50] {Threei} only very very remarkable ones will stay in your memory :)

[12:50] {Threei} it's a routine

[12:50] {Threei} not like every trade is an event

[12:50] {_prth} in fact how one develop that?

[12:50] {Threei} just a sequence of actions

[12:51] {Threei} this is mindset that comes with experience

[12:51] {_prth} insert: can (between how and one)

[12:51] {Threei} no single answer to that... you read blog entries on trading psychology?

[12:52] {_prth} thank you:D

[13:11] {Threei} who remembers teleportation setups from last fall?

[13:12] {Threei} this is whhat happens on AIG right now

[13:12] {ese} can't remember

[13:12] {Threei} quick move by both bids and offers with few prints,

[13:12] {Threei} pause,

[13:13] {Threei} entry in cantra dikrection,

[13:13] {Threei} wait for quick move in the same manner in opposite direction,

[13:13] {Threei} get out with scalp

[13:13] {Threei} observe it for while

[13:13] {Threei} you will see what I mean

[13:13] {Threei} it's impossibl;e to call in time as aa rule, you need to get a feel for it

[13:14] {BillyD} kind of like playing a range

[13:14] {Threei} yes but instead of normal move, it's a teleportation

[13:14] {Threei} it disppears from one place and surfaces in another

[13:14] {BillyD} best kind if on the right side :)

[13:14] {Threei} see?

[13:15] {BillyD} yes

[13:15] {Threei} about 12 cents dive, pause

[13:15] {Threei} if you got .05 - .06

[13:15] {Threei} you are exiting about here

[13:15] {Threei} .13-.14

[13:15] {Threei} watch it for few, you will get the rythm of it

[13:16] {Threei} we used to play it a lot on UAUA, DRYS, something else

[13:17] {Threei} one thing hasn't changed since election folks

[13:17] {Threei} Prezident is as good speaker as he was as a candidate

[13:18] {jfjf64} you are not serious

[13:18] {Threei} I am... I consider him a great orator

[13:18] {Threei} another matter is, this is about the only credit I extend to him, lol

[13:19] {Threei} election being largely a popularity contest, you don't think it played big role in his victory?

[13:20] {BillyD} he said all the right things

[13:20] {Threei} with right intonations

[13:21] {Threei} rightly measured dose of outrage

[13:21] {dino} tell them what they want to hear

[13:21] {Threei} eqzaktly

[13:21] {dino} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[13:21] {BillyD} I think he is a natural and not that excellent of a manipulator

[13:22] {larisa} thanks Billy :)

[13:22] {BillyD} I didn't say I agreed with him

[13:22] {Threei} AIG quick teleportation down is coming

[13:22] {larisa} dats ok

[13:22] {Threei} watch

[13:22] {BillyD} :)

[13:22] {Threei} should give an entry somewhere under .20

[13:23] {Threei} sorry larisa... when it comes to actual issues, I disagree with him on just about everything

[13:23] {dino} i am tired of his high and mighty scolding of everybody

[13:23] {BillyD} sick magoo on him dino

[13:24] {dino} indeed

[13:24] {Threei} here comes AIG

[13:25] {Threei} and now back up

[13:25] {Threei} any questions? :)

[13:25] {Threei} oops

[13:25] {Threei} taking that smiley back

[13:25] {BillyD} yes, why didn't it hit my .14 bid

[13:25] {jfjf64} ahhhhhhhh

[13:26] {Threei} still might

[13:26] {BillyD} don't want it now

[13:27] {magoo} .34 has rejected AIG twice

[13:27] {Threei} I tend to play these moves a bit narrower Billy

[13:27] {Threei} took .19, exited .26

[13:27] {BillyD} I see

[13:27] {Threei} this is pure quick scalping

[13:27] {Threei} not really directional trading

[13:28] {BillyD} too me I have to get better entry for insurance

[13:28] {Threei} we deal with program trading when these telepotrations occur

[13:28] {Threei} I want to be in and out quick and safely

[13:28] {BillyD} you take a full lot then?

[13:28] {Threei} yes

[13:28] {magoo} i try to catch a rip

[13:29] {jfjf64} im waitin forr the call

[13:29] {magoo} in AIG .98

[13:29] {nemo} what mags?

[13:29] {BillyD} what was your stop Vad?

[13:29] {magoo} in AIG .98

[13:29] {Threei} under .15

[13:30] {Threei} but billy,

[13:30] {Threei} don't look for hard fast rules to this kind of setups,

[13:30] {Threei} it's not rfeally technical,

[13:30] {BillyD} right more feel

[13:30] {Threei} it's "watch and get a feel for the rythm" kind of thing

[13:30] {Threei} I never start playing theese moves right away,

[13:31] {BillyD} just kind of pick a stop area

[13:31] {Threei} when I see them starting I watch a few of them

[13:31] {Threei} to get a feel for magnitude

[13:31] {Threei} and how they tend to act at the end of the range,

[13:31] {Threei} pause and bounce

[13:31] {Threei} or

[13:31] {Threei} double dip kind of move

[13:33] {BillyD} basically, trade what you can read, feel, put a structure to and manage the risk

[13:33] {Threei} there you go

[13:33] {Threei} what else is there?

[13:33] {Threei} findfamentals?

[13:33] {Threei} haha

[13:33] {Threei} economy helath?

[13:33] {BillyD} those are the fundamentals

[13:33] {Threei} three haha

[13:33] {BillyD} lol

[13:34] {Threei} good luck to those who thought "hey, economy is bad, we rally for a month or two, let's short it"

[13:34] {Threei} their pain if they didn't take their stops quickly was beyond bearable for the last two months

[13:35] {jfjf64} .46 l aig

[13:35] {Threei} I don't know jf...

[13:35] {Threei} I'd prefer to catch a pullback to .30 or under

[13:36] {Threei} breakouts are not a very good idea still, IMO

[13:36] {jfjf64} took it boss

[13:37] {Threei} let's hope this one works then

[13:49] {Threei} confusing financial statements, read for yourself and see if you can make sense of it

[13:49] {Threei} Monday, August 10, 2009 1:13:14 PM

[13:49] {Threei} Genzyme Corp Provides Update on Cerezyme Supply; Guides 2009 at low end of prior guidance ranges ($2.35-2.90 v $2.80e, $4.6-5B v $4.75Be)

[13:49] {Threei} - Genzyme has made the decision to discard approximately 80% of remaining work-in-process material. This decision was made to minimize risk to the Allston plant and ensure that new supply will be available by the end of this year.

[13:49] {Threei} - Genzymes decision to discard the majority of the work-in-process material has resulted in a Q2 write-off of approximately $8.4M in addition to the $14.2M write-off previously reported. As a result, the companys second-quarter GAAP net income is now $187.6M or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with $192.2M or $0.70 per diluted share reported on July 22. Genzymes second-quarter non-GAAP net income is now $226.6M or $0.82 per diluted share, compared with $232.5M or $0.85 per diluted share previously reported.

[13:49] {Threei} - If Genzyme does not finish and release any of the remaining material, the company would incur an additional write-off of approximately $2.7M. In addition, Genzyme is currently in discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the release of two lots of Cerezyme that were finished before the plant was shut down. If these finished goods are not released, Genzyme will incur an additional write-off of $3.1M.

[13:49] {Threei} - reminder: on 7/31, GENZ said FDA would reinspect the facility that makes Cerezyme after an initial inspection in May that resulted in a warning letter.

[13:49] {chiro} thnx...but id rather read charts

[13:49] {jfjf64} .93 l usb

[14:07] {Threei} take care dp

[14:07] {ese} dddddddpppppppp take care

[14:10] {BillyD} anyone using the NASDAQ route with laser?

[14:11] {Threei} this is the one to use on NASDAQ stocks Billy

[14:12] {Threei} it's former INET/ISLD

[14:12] {BillyD} right and then have it route to INET

[14:12] {BillyD} Vad, under, your Route option on the menu bar

[14:13] {BillyD} dou you have routing strategy "Scan" selected

[14:13] {Threei} I have STGY

[14:14] {Threei} but I still haven't upgraded to latest version

[14:14] {BillyD} ok

[14:14] {Threei} so may not be exact match to yours

[14:15] {BillyD} sometimes it seems I have order sitting on INET for quite a while in advance and everyone else is hit first

[14:15] {BillyD} especially on thick stocks

[14:15] {Threei} dp is your man to talk about it

[14:15] {BillyD} ok, he just left

[14:16] {Threei} he has this approach where he watches for the most active ECN on certain stock

[14:16] {BillyD} ty

[14:16] {Threei} and uses it for their orders

[14:16] {Threei} says he gets his fills faster

[14:16] {Threei} EDGX or BATS for instance

[14:17] {BillyD} I have tried EDGX before

[14:18] {Threei} fern... shorted LVSA by any chance?

[14:18] {Threei} LVS

[14:19] {fernp} how do u know that?

[14:20] {Threei} [14:03] {Threei} no

[14:20] {Threei} [14:03] {Threei} looks rather breakdownish to me

[14:21] {Threei} then it broike down...

[14:54] {Threei} see now why I prefer coma?

[14:55] {BillyD} coma saves from forcing trades

[14:56] {Threei} yup

[15:12] {Threei} 32% Favor Single-Payer Health Care, 57% Oppose

[15:12] {Threei} On Health Care, 51% Fear Government More Than Insurance Companies

Very nice finish to the week. Just one 10 cents stop, and wins were mostly on pullback long entries on HIG, AIG, WFC, HGSI, LVS with one short on WFC. Nothing to complain about, with some members reporting their best week of the year.

[08:59] {ese} gooooood morning

[08:59] {Threei} ese :)

[08:59] {larisa} gm :)

[08:59] {ese} hey larisa

[09:00] {Threei} larisa :)

[09:00] {larisa} ese, vad :)

[09:01] {ese} at some point that dry bulk index will go up

[09:03] {Threei} that was my first thought this morning ese

[09:03] {Threei} it drops for 7 days straight,

[09:03] {fernp} good morning everybody

[09:03] {Threei} fern :)

[09:03] {Threei} DRYS however is more or less holding

[09:03] {Threei} the day index revrses DRYS should explode

[09:04] {ese} i'm still long my drys from yesterday at .40 would be nice if it did it today

[09:05] {Threei} well, today index is still down :)

[09:06] {ese} hmmmmmm

[09:07] {Threei} [08:21] {Alert} Threei BLTXX Baltic Dry Bulk Index -4.6% (7th straight decline)

[09:16] {ese} improvement in unemplyment rate and non farm payrolls.....looks like the reason for up start to the day

[09:16] {Threei} it's going to be interesting

[09:16] {Threei} here is what I mean:

[09:16] {Threei} we rallied for months with no positive news,

[09:16] {Threei} wirth extremely negatiove background noise,

[09:17] {Threei} and last week or two we started hearing all kinds of "recession is about over",

[09:17] {ese} yup

[09:17] {Threei} and now we are getting first signs of positive economic data.

[09:17] {Threei} Red day would signal strong reversal coming

[09:17] {ese} your thinking reversal

[09:17] {JohnK} T, do you think they'll eventually sell the news?

[09:18] {Threei} rather like:

[09:18] {JohnK} soon?

[09:18] {Threei} I am waiting to see if it's a red day in order to get a confirmation of reversal

[09:18] {Threei} that's how it usually works John

[09:18] {JohnK} I think so too

[09:18] {Threei} put the bottom in and reverse to the upside when it's the darkest,

[09:19] {Threei} rally on no good news,

[09:19] {Threei} spike right before or on positive news,

[09:19] {Threei} put the top in and reverse to the downside as news become rosey

[09:20] {Threei} Normal market cycle...

[09:20] {Threei} happens for eons, yet every time catches public by surprise

[09:20] {Threei} and causes all kinds of screams about manipulation

[09:21] {Threei} even though this scenario is of public's making in the same degree as smart money's

[09:21] {Threei} For it to happen, both sides must fufill their roles:

[09:22] {cosmo} ya know.... its just human nature

[09:22] {Threei} smart money to start accumulating when news is the worst possible and market is destroyed

[09:22] {Threei} and for public to wait with their buying until the news is at its happiest and market has rallied quite a bit

[09:22] {Threei} Smart money did its part,

[09:22] {Threei} now public's turn {G}

[09:23] {BillyD} so true

[09:23] {cosmo} so ... time to buy?

[09:23] {Threei} if you keep tabs on our plays from long/short ratio point of view,

[09:23] {BillyD} lol

[09:24] {JohnK} Yet, when we see this next top, it'll be a profit taking top, rather than a OMG sky's falling top... the pullback should be relatively shallow, right?

[09:24] {Threei} you will see how we used to short a whole lot last fall/winter/beginning of this year,

[09:24] {Threei} and how we play almost exlusively long side for the last few months

[09:24] {Threei} yes coosmo, and put it in your long term account saying "it will be back" :)

[09:25] {Threei} don't know if it's going to be shallow pullback/resumption or deeper drop, recovery and range bound trading for a while, John

[09:25] {Threei} both scenarios are plausible

[09:28] {magoo} ugegejkalkdfsa

[09:28] {Threei} I'll take it as a good morning

[09:28] {Threei} call me optimistic and trusting

[14:01] {BillyD} then it will be over

[14:03] {Threei} this is the concept I never really understood

[14:04] {Threei} everyone discussing "real" the rally is or not

[14:04] {nemo} rally is a rally...wtf

[14:04] {Threei} what do they mean not real, I see it with my own eyes

[14:04] {Threei} it happens

[14:04] {Threei} how can it be not real

[14:04] {nemo} they sound like a good argument for retro-active abortion

[14:04] {Threei} if they mean it's short-lived, well

[14:05] {Threei} that's up to anyone's market read

[14:05] {Threei} but whether it continues for 3 days or 3 years, it's real

[14:05] {Threei} words "fake rally" make no sense to me

[14:05] {BillyD} if it makes my stock move it is real....lol

[14:06] {Threei} I ave just one qwuestion

[14:06] {nemo} why?

[14:06] {Threei} if I go long and make money, and then they call the rally fake,

[14:06] {Threei} do I have to return my profit?

[14:06] {nemo} you have to give it to me

[14:06] {dptl} lol

[14:07] {BillyD} it would be the right thing to do vad

[14:07] {Threei} why... I invite you to go long with me, no?

[14:07] {Threei} free will, ya know

[14:07] {Threei} I am a big fan of free will

[14:07] {nemo} what's your's is mine and what's mine is mine...oh forgot, that's what wives say

[14:08] {Threei} I also like to take "theirs" from those who want to take mine {G}

[14:09] {nemo} yep...and some body parts to boot

[14:09] {Threei} I believe in reciprocation, and reciprocator's gotta do what reciprocator's gotta do

[14:10] {Threei} two machine guns in front of my Tibet cave entrance reinforce this motto

[14:10] {Threei} WFC... consolidation above 29 becomes interesting

[14:11] {Threei} if upward markert thurs proves a trap again,

[14:11] {Threei} Short Setup: WFC 29 breakdown if stays below 21.10

[14:11] {Threei} LVS... sigh

[14:12] {Threei} why couldn't 12 break occur on Monday

[14:12] {nemo} not fair

[14:12] {larisa} why? Friday's rally are fake? :)

[14:14] {Threei} I would be all over it with repetitive warning "not a scalp"

[14:14] {Threei} yes larisa... they are :)

[14:14] {larisa} ahha

[14:15] {Threei} diamonds given on Fridays are fake

[14:15] {Threei} salmon caufght on Friday is farmed

[14:16] {Threei} beef bought on Friday is ornages-fed

[14:16] {larisa} k, i got the picture

[14:17] {Threei} good... I may stop short of discussing silicon then

[14:18] {Threei} interesting... MGM is up but not following LVS in this recent explosion

[14:20] {Threei} WFC triggered

[14:23] {chiro} target on WFc?

[14:23] {Threei} can't really tell whether it's just a scalp of capable of more

[14:23] {Threei} let's comrpomise

[14:24] {Threei} if it works, cover 2/3 or 3/4 around 1:1

[14:24] {Threei} 1:1

[14:25] {Threei} covered 2/3

[14:25] {Threei} stop to 29.02

[14:25] {chiro} t u

Beautiful morning with 4 winning trades on HIG and BAC, then one stop on HIG, and a lot of nothing on the afternoon. Read the trades and explanations to them as we managed to insert some educational content as well.

[08:17] {Threei} - Companies' troubled assets would be pooled into a govt-sponsored corporation (related FNM FRE AIG XLF IEF TLT SHY EUR/USD EUR/JPY USD/JPY GBP/JPY GBP/USD USD/CHF SPY GLD DIA )

[08:17] {Threei} hiow is it different from what we have today?

[08:17] {Threei} FRE and FNM ARE govt-sponsored corporations

[08:18] {Threei} AIG Stock trading up another $6 on no apparent new news (22.00, 0.00, 0.00%)

[08:18] {Threei} yeah, we noticed

[08:24] {nemo} Mmmmhhhh...I wonder if AIG is being thought of as a FNM FRE?

[08:26] {Threei} NDAQ Exec: notes they are in talks with regulators about flash trading; NDAQ began flash trading in June (21.66, 0.00, 0.00%) (related NYX )

[08:26] {cosmo} AIG's Blames "Perfect Financial Storm" For Its Woes, Cites "Run On the Bank"

[08:26] {cosmo} In A New Twist On Cause Of Collapse

[08:27] {cosmo} didn't

[08:27] {nemo} always was, but they're sponsored by the government

[08:30] {Threei} INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 550K V 580KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 6.310M V 6.250ME

[09:21] {Threei} patel :)

[09:22] {nemo} AIG

[09:23] {Threei} this kind of moves rarely happens in vacuum... traders start looking, and usually find, the next name to run ina similar fashion

[09:23] {ese} aig has to be the ultimate short cover......that was pretty amazing to watch yesterday

[09:23] {Threei} well, amazing thing is, it didn't it have that many shorts in it

[09:24] {nemo} 18% or so

[09:24] {Threei} 18% of float was shorted according to July numbers

[09:24] {Threei} whihc is nice to squeeze of course

[09:24] {Threei} but it's not anywhere close to numbers that could warrant ssuch move

[09:28] {Threei} HIG Completes Discretionary Equity Issuance Plan, raising size to $900M from $750M (16.50, 0.00, 0.00%)

[09:51] {Threei} 09:41] {nemo} not after the week he's had

[09:51] {Threei} [09:41] {Threei} you clearly don't know magoo very well

[09:51] {Threei} [09:41] {Threei} "nevcer enough" is his mortto

[09:52] {cosmo} HURN won't die...holding 15.20

[09:52] {magoo} see, i like to make it when we can..never enough

[09:52] {Threei} see this long tail over 18?

[09:53] {Threei} that's where we exited

[09:53] {magoo} AIG too...AW SIGH

[09:53] {Threei} well, AIG doesn't pain me

[09:53] {Threei} that was beyond normal read

[09:53] {Threei} and well beyond normal risk

[09:54] {magoo} any read RIMM here?

[09:54] {ese} HURN looks like a great long bet cos

[09:54] {Threei} RIMM{ not so much

[09:54] {Threei} jf's MBI is of some interest though

[09:54] {Threei} report was not so rosy by it,

[09:54] {Threei} yet it gapped up,

[09:55] {Threei} and look at its daily

[09:55] {cosmo} ese....i think i killed it ...sigh

[09:55] {ese} nawwww....this one will bounce back

[09:55] {Threei} it breaks 7 - 7.10 zone, there is nothing up to 8

[09:55] {cosmo} needs to hold 15 imo

[09:56] {ese} yes agreed

[09:56] {Threei} and if it takes 8, 11 is next, and minor, resistance

[09:56] {Threei} to me, it's now a matter of whether traders consider it "next AIG"

[09:56] {ese} am gonna wait for this one to settle cos.....i'd like to go long on it

[09:57] {ese} higher low in conjunction with market and off it will go

[09:57] {magoo} AIG crashed 3 points

[09:57] {Threei} yeah, it does it now and then, lol

[09:57] {cosmo} hmmm

[09:58] {jfjf64} need market bounce in this ddr

[09:58] {magoo} HIG pulls bk

[09:58] {ese} if i can get drys closer to 6 as well....i'm gonna buy a crap load of that also

[10:02] {ese} vad tell me what you think of SCHW when you get a chance.....one of them consolidating at the highs things

[10:03] {Threei} I like it with market help ese

[10:03] {ese} tks .....

[10:04] {magoo} BAC vad..bouncer

[10:04] {Threei} yes

[10:04] {Threei} usual method of hunting

[10:04] {Threei} .70 break

[10:04] {Threei} stop under .60

[10:05] {ese} l schw .02

[10:05] {Threei} under .64 for extreme scalpers

[10:05] {ese} small

[10:05] {Threei} 1:1 for those pesky extreme scalpers

[10:05] {fernp} ty vad

[10:05] {Threei} 1:1 for the rest

[10:05] {Threei} nice and easy

[10:05] {magoo} in .67 out .82 DL TY BOSS

[10:05] {Threei} hehe

[10:05] {Threei} magoo's revenge

[10:06] {Threei} I envision him buying BAC with scream "that's for missed HIG!!!"

[10:06] {magoo} i was yelling "run forest run" really

[10:06] {Threei} 1:2

[10:07] {Threei} you know this way of bottom hunting guys, just never forget:

[10:07] {Threei} doing this you must be ready for multiple tries

[10:07] {Threei} and that might hurt

[10:07] {Threei} if you are not, do it in a different fashion:

[10:08] {magoo} MBI vad, take a look

[10:08] {Threei} be ready to miss THE bottom, and watch for bottoming formation,

[10:08] {Threei} like double bottom

[10:08] {Threei} not delighted by MBI

[10:09] {Threei} let me explain the thought process

[10:09] {Threei} MBI at this point becomes a failed breakout play,

[10:09] {Threei} it was looked at as possible runner,

[10:09] {Threei} it failed,

[10:09] {Threei} no major attention to it until and unless it retirns to 7 and breaks it,

[10:10] {Threei} so it kind of becomes a food for small pikers till then,

[10:10] {Threei} and that's not who we want to try and profit from.

[10:10] {Threei} that's hard competiton for every 5 cents

[10:10] {Threei} we want big fish to come in and run things

[10:11] {Threei} then we have kind of movement and volume giving us our risk/reqards

[10:11] {Threei} rewards too

[10:11] {Threei} here comes BAXC for p[ossible double bottom

[10:12] {Threei} BAC

[10:12] {Threei} perfect

[10:12] {Threei} same setup

[10:12] {Threei} .70 break

[10:12] {Threei} if holding above .60

[10:12] {Threei} same stop for extreme scalpers as last time too

[10:13] {Threei} and same outcome once again

[10:13] {Threei} 1:1 for pesky scalpers

[10:13] {Threei} 1:1 for the rest

[10:13] {fernp} ty again

[10:13] {Threei} welcome again

[10:13] {nemo} figures, my executor was disconnecte

[10:14] {Threei} you had total interenet disconenction

[10:14] {Threei} [10:03] * nemo (m.ierardo@jtc-16ae938f.ma.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

[10:14] {nemo} could see the charts and LII, couldn't enter order

[10:14] {Threei} usually losing connector in such cases

[10:14] {nemo} logging in again now

[10:14] {ese} atvi....pattern right out of vads book........ummmmmm maybe slightly tighter consolidation

[10:16] {Threei} don't go for BAC this time

[10:16] {Threei} it's only on a surface that it loks like the same thing third time

[10:16] {Threei} in reality it's more likely to fail

[10:16] {Threei} there, new low

[10:17] {nemo} short?

[10:17] {Threei} don't know

[10:18] {cosmo} GLBL firm

[10:18] {Threei} back to MBI:

[10:19] {Threei} now that it reached 6, resiastance from yesterday

[10:19] {Threei} it has a chance to put bottom in and become a bounce play

[10:19] {Threei} what I want to see is prolonged consolidation,

[10:19] {Threei} forming of a nice solid resistance level

[10:19] {Threei} then breaking it while never losing 6

[10:20] {magoo} AIG crshed

[10:20] {Threei} jf... you asked for 3 for 3 yesterday

[10:20] {Threei} we got 4 for 4

[10:21] {nemo} 2 higs and bac, what was the other?

[10:21] {Threei} BAC twice

[10:21] {nemo} oh yeah, my internet failure

[10:22] {Threei} this MBI move is not to my liking

[10:23] {magoo} io just raped AIG for a point ..in .60 out 23.63 IM BACK

[10:24] {magoo} im having such a great week i hope dino never comes bacvk...he must be bad luck

[10:25] {Threei} lol

[10:25] {ese} schw strong against market

[10:25] {magoo} better edit that one boss..he reads them some times he he

[10:27] {ese} come on drys........down just a little bit more

[10:27] {larisa} I think dino will like this one, vacation forever, no magoo... :)

[10:27] {cosmo} GLBL waits patiently for mkt reversal

[10:27] {cosmo} me thinks

[10:28] {cosmo} 8.65 hod

[10:29] {magoo} that does it larisa ............

06[10:29] * magoo slaps larisa around a bit with a large trout

[10:29] {nemo} tough magoo

[10:30] {ese} cos....is there a price target on GLBL

[10:30] {nemo} rimm base building

[10:31] {cosmo} should hold 8.30 to stay interesting

[10:31] {ese} CNBC's Faber: Reiterates that move over past two sessions does not appear to be news related; Speculates short squeeze (23.41, +1.41, 6.41%)

[10:31] {ese} duuuhhh......

[10:31] {nemo} yep rimm base built

[10:32] {magoo} yea..and they call him "the brain" for those astute observations

[10:33] {ese} schw....there she blows

[10:36] {ese} stop to break even

[10:39] {cosmo} GLBL tests

[10:41] {ese} out schw .13 +.11

[10:43] {larisa} wow HIG

[10:44] {larisa} 17.20 bottom looks nice now :)

[10:44] {larisa} I got a signal 17.35. DID not take it silly

[10:44] {magoo} yea..was looking at it on cross of .50..missed it

[10:45] {Threei} so... HIG will be new AIG{ looks like

[10:45] {larisa} crossing .50 good wntry too with .43 support

[10:45] {ese} bstop drys .41

[10:45] {Threei} yeah, acts like it

[10:45] {magoo} yea vad..gotta watch if IF traders want to run it 8 points

[10:45] {Threei} picks up the pace, tajkes out resiatnces

[10:46] {Threei} pullbacks are well supprted

[10:46] {cosmo} GLBL tests .65 resistance

[10:46] {cosmo} could hit 9 .....

[10:49] {Threei} okay... in

[10:49] {Threei} stop under .50

[10:49] {Threei} risky as hell

[10:49] {nemo} hig?

[10:49] {Threei} yeah

[10:50] {Threei} can take a few tries

[10:50] {ese} L drys by the way...sorry .39

[10:50] {Threei} but if goes, not selling first partial tll near 19

[10:50] {magoo} i got your back vad..willl follow u anywhere

[10:51] {Threei} no worky

[10:52] {Threei} deeper pullback will be next chance hopefully

[10:52] {Threei} if it breaks from here, it's a shakeout... tough to find re-wentry on those

[10:55] {Threei} .30 break long if stays above .20

[10:55] {Threei} again - stay away if not ready for a few tries

[10:55] {ese} HMIN....heres one i haven't heard of before up +5.5

[10:57] {ese} L fuqi .00 small

[11:00] {chiro} L amgn 61.02

[11:01] {cosmo} GLBL should hold 8.50 ... or its time to walk the dogs

[11:01] {Threei} recalibrating HIG

[11:01] {Threei} .25 break

[11:02] {Threei} stop under .10

[11:02] {magoo} in

[11:03] {ese} fuqi uki......butting up against 28.00 nicely

[11:03] {Threei} 1:1

[11:06] {Threei} losing momo

[11:07] {Threei} not looking good for a big run so far

[11:14] {Threei} US TARP Inspector General: Some recipients of TARP did not necessarily meet quantitative criteria (related XLF )

[11:20] {ese} out fuqi .01 +.01 even....it ain't goin nowhere

[11:22] {ese} rats cos....was watching other things and missed the runup in HURN

[11:33] {ese} nice run for schw

[11:34] {Threei} yup

[11:37] {nemo} cat is up with the $...interesting

[12:03] {_prth} what is your take on the rsi indicator?

[12:03] {Threei} as any of them,

[12:04] {Threei} useful as far as you understand the underlying price action and use it as a visual help to interpret it,

[12:04] {Threei} useless and even harmful if you expect it to tell you what to do.

[12:04] {nemo} the 3i indicator is better

[12:07] {_prth} for example on bac coming down right now looking for a bounce off the low of the day with the rsi dipping below 30 and going above, if it never gets there then no trade

[12:08] {chiro} rimm ..ndl

[12:13] {patience} prth, i use rsi as a substitute for reading level 2 (there's logic in there somewhere). point is, rsi works most of time except for full moon like today, it's august, and euphoria can last longer than common sense. i shorted Teck few days ago based on rsi and took until today to make my profit....sorry, long post

[12:17] {_prth} takes forever because I only take it in the direction of the day and only get 1 or 2 set ups, so today I would only take a long on bac and yes the 3i indicator is way better

06[12:17] * Threei takes a bow

[12:18] {Threei} here is something for you guys and gals to enjoy for the next few minutes, jf excluded:

[12:58] {Threei} - reminder: The Washington Post reported this morning that the Obama Administration is considering reorganization of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

[10:34] {Threei} AXL some enthusiasm...

[10:36] {jfjf64} this wfmi drivin me crazy hv stop at .85

[10:37] {jfjf64} showin strong

[10:39] {Threei} a lot of talk about 2B investment in car batteries development

[10:40] {Threei} I have ABAT on top of my memory

[10:40] {Threei} anything else?

[10:40] {BillyD} can't remeber

[10:41] {BillyD} can't spell either

[10:41] {Threei} welkome to ze klub

[10:42] {jfjf64} jpm vad ya lk 41 break or traap

[10:42] {Threei} with stop under .90, it's a valid try

[10:43] {jfjf64} too fast pass

[10:44] {Threei} 1:1

[10:44] {Threei} the way to enter this kind, when it's a bit too fast on a break, you don't want to chase and don't want to get filled on the way back when it's exhausted

[10:44] {jfjf64} reads there fingers too slow

[10:44] {Threei} enter limit at the price you are willing to chase to,

[10:45] {Threei} let's say 41.03

[10:45] {ese} are you in jpm jf?

[10:45] {jfjf64} nope

[10:45] {Threei} if it gets you in, fine, play it from normal risk reward ratio point of view,

[10:45] {Threei} if miss, keep an order in for a fill on pause BUT

[10:45] {ese} that was a good call

[10:45] {Threei} cancel it if a stock reaches 1:1

[10:46] {jfjf64} makes sence even with 2500 to 3000 shares

[10:46] {jfjf64} ??

[10:46] {Threei} you may still want it if it pauses and pulls back slightly from let's say 41.05 - 06

[10:46] {Threei} but if it reaches 1:1 and drops all the way back into trigger, it's a different ballgame,

[10:47] {Threei} you now need to re-evaluate whether a play still valid as conservative entry

[10:47] {Threei} or it was just a scalp and it's ovewr

[10:47] {Threei} as a first idea what to look for:

[10:47] {ese} yes

[10:47] {Threei} if it drops back into 41, stalls,

[10:47] {ese} quick in and out

[10:48] {Threei} makes little move up and down between 41 and 41.05

[10:48] {Threei} you may want a new entry on .05 break,

[10:48] {Threei} but the huge difference with original idea will be:

[10:48] {Threei} your stop now is under 41, not under 40.90 as it would be with original entry

[10:48] {Threei} see what I mean by saying it's a new game?

[10:49] {jfjf64} thanks i follow

[10:50] {patel} Threei, thoughts on T

[10:50] {Threei} I'll try hood, fake mostauge and dark sunglasses tomorrow... will see how successful you are then

[10:51] {patel} 10 cents risk

[10:51] {patel} are you seeing that

[10:51] {jfjf64} double bottom lower vad or bounce market

[15:08] {Threei} May 16 last news on it, filing for bakruptsy

[15:10] {magoo} we in anything?

[15:10] {magoo} fell asleeop

06[15:10] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large alarm clock

[15:13] {Threei} heh... HEV shakeout

[15:13] {Threei} some stocks just have dishusting manners, I noticed...

[15:13] {Threei} who brought them up like this

[15:15] {patel} that shakeout was wrong

[15:15] {patel} i took a pretty big hit on that one

[15:17] {Threei} original stop was 5-7 cents, with slippage could have easily been about 12 on that

[15:18] {patel} i got hit for about 13 cents

[15:18] {Threei} if this is big hit for you, you should really re-think share size and/or trading thin stocks altogether

[15:18] {Threei} I mean come on... 13 cents equals big hit??

[15:18] {Threei} what kind of profits are you aiming for?

[15:19] {magoo} how many shares u take?

[15:19] {patel} i didnt get hit bad but it turned my profit for the day near 0

[15:19] {patel} i only took 400 shares

[15:19] {magoo} vad, u or i??

[15:19] {Threei} I don't understand it

06[15:20] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout

[15:20] {Threei} something isn't right with trade/risk management

06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout

06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout

06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout

[15:20] {patel} we talked earlier about it and it seems i am paying 2 much in commissions.

[15:23] {dptl} ok....have a good evening all,see ya tomorrow

[15:23] {Threei} doesn't sound like that's the only issue... something else is off

[15:23] {Threei} tajke care dp

[15:24] {_prth} 400 shares does not give you enough profit to scale

[15:25] {Threei} not really, unless it's a big mover

[15:26] {Threei} it's either training size, or a size for a very volatile stock

[15:26] {Threei} where risk control doesn't allow for tight stosp

[15:27] {_prth} and setting hard stops will get him taken out at a really bad fill depending on broker

[15:27] {patel} i stopped using hard stops

[15:27] {Threei} yikes

[15:27] {Threei} no way

[15:28] {magoo} but .13 cents on 400 is 52 bux correct?

[15:28] {patel} i was using hard stops but few days ago AKAM took me out

[15:28] {patel} and went up

[15:28] {patel} yes

[15:28] {patel} okay i traded BAC made over 90 dollars ont hat trade

[15:28] {_prth} so where did nvax fill at on the stop this morning and add commissions to that

[15:29] {patel} then i took LLTC made about 18 dollars on that

[15:29] {patel} then i got stopped on NVAX

[15:29] {Threei} hard stop is for the case whn you have to leave your computer unattanded

[15:29] {Threei} better than no stop at all

[15:29] {patel} and hten i got stopped otu for HEV

[15:29] {Threei} but when you can contorl events, use manual one

[15:30] {patel} slippages on NVAX was 5 cents

[15:30] {patel} slippage on HEV was about 4 cents

[15:30] {Threei} 18 dollars on LLTC?

[15:30] {patel} yes

[15:30] {patel} i took 200 off hte table on 1:1

[15:31] {patel} then put the rest at breakeven

[15:31] {patel} i am not complaining its just I need to know what I am doing wrong and make my trade management better

[15:34] {_prth} the percentage of dollars is high on commissions when trading smaller size if paying a flat rate, if you use per share cost platform then it be more cost effective with smaller size

[15:35] {patel} prth, i am paying .01 cents a share

[15:36] {Threei} that's twice the rate we are paying

[15:37] {Threei} great... now HEV is doing what I envisioned

[15:38] {_prth} that is $10 for a thousand shares, do you pay ecn fees too?

[15:38] {Threei} ECN is pass-through both ways for us

[15:38] {Threei} fee or rebate, dependinh on removing or adding liquidity

[15:39] {_prth} is patel with the same broker?

[15:39] {Threei} no

[15:40] {Threei} he pays .01/shre... we .005

[15:40] {magoo} which is more lol

06[15:40] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large large abakcus since calculator is too complicated for magoo

[15:40] {_prth} well that is a big difference especially for scalping size

[15:41] {jfjf64} l met .05 break

[15:42] {patel} yup

[15:42] {patel} no ecn fees

[15:42] {patel} i get rebates and everything

[15:42] {patel} pretty much the same as you guys but the commisisons is doubled

[15:42] {Threei} hmmm... no fees but rebates?

[15:42] {patel} yes

[15:43] {Threei} something isn't right :)

[15:43] {patel} as long as I am sending the order through PFSI i pay no fees

[15:43] {patel} but i have to use INTEL and ARCAL for rebates

[15:43] {patel} what kind of fees do you have to pay threei

[15:43] {Threei} on add liquidity side only

[15:44] {Threei} you can do it using GETCO route for entry and ECN for exit with Laser

[15:44] {jfjf64} in

[15:44] {patel} pj plau

[15:45] {patel} oh okay

[15:47] {jfjf64} grrr

[15:51] {jfjf64} 21.83 l aig

[15:52] {jfjf64} in 88

[15:53] {jfjf64} .25cent stop

[08:36] {BillyD} GM all

[11:02] {Threei} *Note: Stabenow is Senator from Michigan

06[11:04] * Threei kicks VRTX in the rear

[11:05] {Threei} scalpers are scalpers

[11:05] {Threei} pesky and annoying

[11:11] {Threei} if trail, do that when it tags .30

[11:47] {nemo} did the stop on arun change?

[11:47] {Threei} no

[11:47] {nemo} you sure?

[11:47] {nemo} hehehehe

[11:47] {Threei} you living dangerously today?

[11:48] {nemo} yeah, I'm in a mood

[11:49] {patel} VRTX almost at 38

[11:57] {Threei} *SEC TO REPORTEDLY BAN FLASH TRADES IN US - US SEN SCHUMER (D, NY)

[11:57] {Threei} - Schumer comments that SEC's Shapiro mentioned that the ban is 'imminent'

[11:58] {ese} what are flash trades?

[11:58] {Threei} irrelevant distraction

[11:58] {Threei} has to do with dark pools and huigh frequency trading

[11:58] {ese} boy you've lost me vad....dark pools?

[11:58] {Threei} hehe

[11:59] {ese} high frequency makes sense.....dark pools?

[11:59] {patience} that will cut volume

[11:59] {Threei} dark pools - pools of liquidity set by large institutional trading entities away from mainstream market

[11:59] {ese} ahhhhhhhh

[12:00] {Threei} high frequency trading - superfast executions done by computer programs,

[12:00] {Threei} mostly hunting very small price movements or even no mecements at all,

[12:00] {Threei} getting reward in a form of liquidity rebate

[12:00] {Threei} same as get with Laser

[12:00] {Threei} same as we get with Laser

[12:01] {Threei} now, sending "probing" orders into dark pools

[12:01] {Threei} trying to find liquidity there

[12:01] {Threei} based on FOK principle

[12:01] {ese} buying and selling within there own inventory of shares

[12:01] {Threei} (fill or kill)

[12:01] {Threei} where order is active for only milliseconds

[12:01] {ese} based on long time accumulation

[12:01] {Threei} and either getting filled or canceled immediately

[12:02] {Threei} became known as flash orders

[12:02] {Threei} Major concern about them is,

[12:03] {Threei} often they exploit inefficiency dangerously close to exploting information about order flow before aanyone else get a chance to see it.

[12:03] {Threei} It violates the idea of oreders being exposed to everyone at the same time

[12:03] {ese} i can see that

[12:04] {Threei} It remains an open question whether it's illegit frontrunning on privileged distribution of information

[12:04] {Threei} or legitimate using of higher speed by those who has access to higher speed

[12:04] {BillyD} collusion, price fixing, etc

[12:04] {BillyD} lol

[12:04] {BillyD} and justification

[12:04] {Threei} after all, if I have a cable and you have a phone modem, I will get information faster

[12:04] {Threei} and this will be totally legitimate advantage

[12:05] {Threei} There are claims out there that the system of information distribution is rigged

[12:06] {Threei} and this particular senator champions the idea of banning flash orders.

[12:06] {Threei} If he succeeds, fine... if not - fine too.. IMO{ this all is absolutely irelevant

[12:06] {nemo} He has to be hard on the financial industry considering his close ties to Wall Street

[12:06] {nemo} He was skewered during the initial stages of the debacle

[12:07] {nemo} It's like arun heard you call the change

[12:08] {nemo} RIMM gonna break through?

[12:09] {nemo} guess so

[12:18] {Threei} Just 16% of U.S. voters believe that tax increases help the economy

[12:18] {Threei} see, told you it's a mving target

[12:20] {ese} out CTSH .33 +.10 had averaged in from .11

[12:21] {Threei} what an unlikely mover... UAUA

[12:21] {nemo} yeah, on what, higher oil?

[12:22] {Threei} maybe they hired new spin doctor, more talented than old ones... so he proved higher oil is to their benefit

[12:23] {nemo} oh, they made money on their fuel hedges

[12:24] {Threei} (US) SEC: Exploring ways to eliminate the unfairness of flash orders (related XLF )

[12:24] {Threei} it's easy: mandate the same speed for all computers

[12:24] {Threei} mandate the same IQ for all programmers

[12:26] {Threei} somewhere down that road I see a decree mandating the same birthday for entire population - because it's unfair that some get to celebrate on nice summer day while ohers suffer in cold winter one

[12:26] {ese} look at GE

[12:26] {ese} can that carry on?

[12:38] {ese} now thats funny....everybody is an idler

[12:51] {patel} any opinion on KEY?

[12:51] {Threei} not by me

[12:54] {Threei} a few news headlines on debt exchange before that

[12:55] {Threei} eBay Inc UPDATE: Silicon Alley Insider column this morning discussed rumors that Apple is working on a "PayPal Killer"

[12:55] {Threei} - article notes it could be expanded from iTunes payments which can already be used to buy some virtual and subscription goods in third-party iPhone applications.

[12:55] {Threei} how is it paypal killer

[12:56] {Threei} shrug

[12:57] {Threei} U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner issued a stern warning punctuated with expletives to U.S. regulators to end turf battles and show support for President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul financial regulation, a person familiar with the situation said on Monday.

[12:57] {Threei} that's right Timmy, you tell them

[12:57] {Threei} with expletives

[12:57] {BillyD} lol

[12:58] {cosmo} i want to see indictments....

[12:58] {cosmo} but.... no matter

[12:58] {Threei} and don't puctuate with them - let it be expletives puncuated by routine words

[12:58] {Threei} Citing people familiar with the meeting, the newspaper also said that the Treasury Secretary used obscenities and took an aggressive stance in his dressing down of the regulators.

[12:59] {Threei} Spokespersons for the Fed, the SEC and the FDIC did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

[13:00] {Threei} I guess they were searching for the right words

[13:01] {Threei} the following somehow raises the image of Stalin in my mind... read it:

[13:01] {Threei} Mr. Obama in June unveiled a financial regulatory overhaul, sometimes called the biggest since the 1930s. Among other things, the plan would give the Fed added powers, award the government more power to break up troubled companies, and create a new agency to oversee consumer finance.

[13:01] {Threei} Many major banks and industry trade groups however have criticized the plan, as have some regulators wary that any redistribution of power would reduce their own.

[13:01] {Threei} Even though the regulators are viewed as independent of the White House, the Journal said Mr. Geithner told attendees that the administration and Congress set policy.

[13:01] {Threei} It also said the Treasury Secretary, without singling out officials, raised concerns about regulators who have questioned the wisdom of giving the Fed more power.

[13:04] {patel} AMTD break fo 19

[13:05] {patel} what ya think VAD?

[13:06] {Threei} two day's break... and JBE on intraday... overall, it's my kind of plays...

[08:56] {Threei} to correct the Companys accounting for certain acquisition-related payments received by the sellers in connection with the sale of certain acquired businesses that were subsequently redistributed among themselves and to other select Huron employees. As a result, the historical financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. The restatement items are non-cash charges with a total estimated impact on net income and EBITDA for all restated periods of $57 million.

[08:57] {Threei} It recently came to the attention of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that, in connection with one of these acquisitions, the selling shareholders had an agreement among themselves to reallocate a portion of the earn-out payments to an employee of the Company who was not a selling shareholder. Following this discovery, the Audit Committee commenced an inquiry into the relevant facts and circumstances of all of the Companys prior acquisitions to determine if similar situations existed.

[14:46] {Threei} Seventeen percent (17%) of voters say the president is moderate, while only six percent (6%) believe he is conservative.
