Dec 30 2009

Due to excessive fooling around, even though fun, group decided not to publish today's log. Suffice to say, two momo movers SEED and ICXT was all we found worthy to trade today. Charts are self-explanatory.

Dec 29 2009

Volume is half of average again. What we found mostly worked but finding something is a challenge.

[08:38] {Threei} kind of: got my gap, but since bought a bit too early it didn't do me much good

[08:39] {Threei} if I were smart, I'd took b/e stop on second lot yesterday and rebought right into close

[08:39] {Threei} which would have worked perfectly

[09:17] {Threei} you mean vacuuming requires no sensitivity?

[09:17] {nemo} you can go to a technically trained masseuse/masseur, but if they don't have the hands for it, they suck

[09:18] {Les} so japanese companies should get busy making sensitive robots!

[10:23] {Threei} it's just that today not much looks like anything worth more than a scalp

[10:24] {Threei} and no nemo, I am not comparing you to onion

[10:24] {Threei} it's tears of pride and happiness

[12:51] {magoo} read FCX?

[12:51] {Threei} then try to nail a break when/if market wakes up

[12:51] {Threei} most likely on a long side

[12:51] {Threei} FCX, not yet

[12:51] {Threei} in FCX, here is what I'd be lookjing for

[12:51] {Threei} dive to .35 - .40,

[12:52] {Threei} some consoidation,

[12:52] {Threei} then break of .50

[12:52] {Threei} for the move toward 82

[12:55] {Threei} see how it's forming?

[12:55] {Threei} double bottom scenario

[12:56] {Threei} only I don't want to enter on confirmation, it's way too high

[12:56] {Threei} so I want interim setup,

[12:56] {Threei} consolidation under .50

[12:56] {Threei} giveing me better trigger

[12:56] {Threei} -e

[12:57] {fernp} new low invalidate the play?

[12:57] {Threei} yes,

[12:57] {fernp} s

[13:02] {ese} you thinkin this market has a ways to go yet vad?

[13:03] {Threei} weho knows

[13:04] {Threei} Market Internals update at 12:00pmET

[13:04] {Threei} - NYSE volume 230M shares, about 50% below its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 1.1:1.

[13:04] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 495M shares, about 47% below its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 1.1:1.

[13:04] {Threei} volume is about the same as yesterday

[13:04] {Threei} which is to say non-existent

[13:04] {nemo} and the stats on A/D was exactly the opposite

[13:04] {Threei} vs yesterday?

[13:04] {nemo} yes...advancers to decliners were 1.1/1

[13:05] {Threei} so just measningless oscillations

[13:05] {Threei} or convulsions

[13:05] {nemo} by the way, sorry, was going to call amazon short at .80 but the stop was a bit big...notice the declinging highs from 11:10

[13:06] {Threei} speaking of FCX...

[13:06] {Threei} maybe starts looking better for short

[13:06] {nemo} goes to .55

[13:13] {Threei} how about this for random

[13:13] {nemo} well, fcx probably tests the close now

[13:13] {Threei} ruined long setup, then ruined short

[13:13] {nemo} funny, those volume increases into .40 were a long setup to me

[13:15] {magoo} truth be told..me too..took .37 long out .70

[13:26] {Threei} no cell phone signal

[13:27] {Threei} I'd say Darwin in action

[13:27] {Threei} GPS combined with lack of common sense - that can be a deadly combination

[13:27] {strider} IT's very easy to get lost in such places.

[13:28] {Threei} would anyone with ounce of common sense turn to service road after heavy snowfaLL?

[13:29] {Threei} more than that,

[13:29] {Threei} you see two feet of snow ahwead of you,

[13:29] {Threei} no sign of road visible,

[13:29] {Threei} do you just continue driving staright ahead?

[13:29] {strider} I wasn't there.......don't know what they saw, or felt they had to do.

[13:29] {strider} or could do.

[13:32] {magoo} u just forgot to delete your phone number

[13:32] {Threei} yeah, unforgivable error

[13:55] {Les} ah. that why you held overnight?

[14:48] {Threei} I'd prefer it to stay under .60,

[14:49] {Threei} so we could keep it as a stop

[14:49] {Les} or is it a potential double bottom?

[14:49] {Threei} it is

[15:31] {Threei} that temptation will keep you alive and sane for years to come

[15:31] {magoo} CBAK

[15:31] {fernp} thank you. I needed that . I felt bad with myself :-)

[15:35] {Threei} no kidding

[15:35] {fernp} [18:09] {fernp} CBAK 3 today?

[15:36] {Les} would CBAK be the sort of stock you'd consider holding overnight vad?

[15:36] {Les} likelihood of gapping up in morning?

[15:36] {Threei} if it drops to some sane price before close, sure

[15:37] {Threei} it's rumor-based movwe

[15:37] {Les} whats the rumour?

[15:37] {Threei} it gets dissected overnight, masses come to conclusion rumor is not all that likely to turn into reality

[15:37] {Threei} gap is shot

[15:38] {Threei} [12:10] {Alert} Threei CBAK Strength attributed to rumor CBAK battery product could be used in a Google smart phone model due out in 2010

[15:38] {Les} ok. so you tend to hold stocks that have hard news releases as opposed to rumours?

[15:39] {Les} i.e, rumours get destroyed more readily overnight?

[15:39] {Threei} either real news, or sector strength, or technical move with tripping some very cvommon alerts, like new 52 weeks high

[15:39] {Threei} I don't know more readily or not, but it's a real possibility

[15:39] {Threei} and that's not a risk I would be willing to take

[15:39] {Les} understand

[15:40] {Threei} imagine CBAK management coming out and saying no, we aree not in Googlwe phone

[15:40] {Threei} which they can do easily to avoid troubles with SEC

[15:40] {nemo} after they sell there stock, of course

[15:40] {Threei} stock moved from under 2.5 today

[15:41] {Threei} if that what hapens, it will open where?

[10:01] {fernp} WFC breakdown, Vad?
[10:03] {strider} NLST
[10:03] {Threei} hmmm
[10:03] {Threei} not sure fern
[10:06] {Threei} mags
[10:06] {Threei} AIG
[10:06] {Threei} stop under 24
[10:06] {Threei} entry as close to it as you can get
[10:06] {Les} l HIG .03
[10:07] {Threei} HIG acts as salmon
[10:07] {Threei} a bit high entry Les
[10:07] {strider} long HIG from .98
[10:07] {Les} so take scalp only?
[10:08] {strider} L NLST from .79
[10:08] {Threei} it's capable of more than that...
[10:08] {Threei} just not fond of this kind of entries
[10:10] {dino} par
[10:11] {nemo} rimm vad
[10:12] {Threei} not sure about play on it
[10:12] {Threei} feels long to me
[10:12] {Threei} but no clear setup
[10:14] {Les} any news that is annoying market?
[10:14] {fernp} AEO, Vad? I don't know how this one trades, valid breakout?
[10:14] {Threei} no news
[10:14] {fernp} is holding in highs while SPY is dropping
[10:15] {Threei} should be good for a scalp fern
[10:15] {fernp} ty
[10:15] {dino} aixg capit?
[10:16] {Threei} doesn't look ready for bounce to me, dino
[10:16] {Threei} more downside most likely
[10:17] {strider} stop NLST -.10
[10:17] {fernp} WFC still on lows
[10:18] {dino} feeling .35ish
[10:24] {Threei} HIG lost support
[10:24] {strider} stop HIG
[10:26] {fernp} i took my 1:1 on HIG w/my first entry, and stopped with the second one
[10:26] {Threei} half pon 1:1 and stopped second half, so the same washout
[10:27] {fernp} shorted WFC .88
[10:27] {fernp} my 1:1 is almost here..
[10:29] {ese} anyone else waiting or cgen to bottom out
[10:31] {dino} aixg hl l .05, stop lod
[10:35] {fernp} AEO is breaking now... not sure what to do, SPY is falling
[10:37] {dino} alny wakey
[10:37] {strider} hmmm..
[10:38] {fernp} FAZ breakout?
[10:38] {Threei} only if pulls back first
[10:39] {Threei} and holding this .87 - .90 area
[10:41] {Threei} GLD, want long with target around .35, and don't want to buy break
[10:41] {Threei} so, my way to trade it here would be:
[10:41] {Threei} ignore .20 break,
[10:41] {Threei} but if it pulls back into .10 area, I anm interested
[10:42] {Threei} with stop/invaliadting level 108
[10:43] {Threei} come on GLD, show your treacherous charatcter: drop shareply shaking out .20 break buyers, and let us in on that shakeout
[10:44] {Les} 50 and 200 ma converging at .25
[10:44] {Threei} typing gods will never forgive me for what I do to English...
[10:46] {Les} did you buy Vad?
[10:47] {Threei} no, was waiting couple cents lower
[10:48] {Threei} I want a brief dive under .10, holding above 108 and recross of .10 as entry signsl
[10:49] {Threei} even if it doesn't let us in, I am pretty staisfied with read itself
[10:49] {Threei} getting closer to decoding the ways GLD eliminates too straightforward traders
[10:52] {fernp} AEO 1:1 but i didn't take the trade. too much thinking. grrrr
[10:53] {Threei} Long Setup: AIG .10 break
[10:53] {Threei} stop under 32
[10:53] {ese} l cgen .41
[10:56] {ese} you refering to me vad
[10:56] {Threei} I am?
[10:56] {ese} .30
[10:58] {strider} out 1/2 AIG
[10:58] {Threei} AIG 1:1
[10:58] {Les} out ty
[10:58] {Threei} strider, stop to under .10 for the balance
[10:58] {magoo} AIG seems or feekls like alot more..not in tho
[10:58] {strider} thx
[10:59] {strider} out -.01
[10:59] {Threei} could be mags... but this is AIG... I better let ther balance to get shaken out than get stuck
[10:59] {magoo} agree..its been a disappointer orf late
[10:59] {strider} like that.
[10:59] {Threei} downdraft on it can be devastating
[11:00] {Threei} and don't forget, we are still in holiday mode
[11:00] {fernp} HIG again breaking 24
[11:00] {ese} l cgen avg .39
[11:00] {Threei} short week and all that crap
[11:01] {Les} GLD still in play Vad?
[11:01] {Threei} can't tewll, it kind of lost its rythm
[11:01] {nemo} may be DT on Rimm
[11:01] {dino} jst
[11:01] {Threei} first drop looked good, second is questionable
[11:02] {Threei} hmmm
[11:02] {ese} cgen stop .33
[11:03] {Threei} why not C&H on RIMM nemo?
[11:03] {Threei} .45 break
[11:03] {Threei} if holdong .30 -.45
[11:03] {Threei} .30 - .35
[11:03] {nemo} could be one of those switchitters
[11:04] {Threei} yeah
[11:04] {nemo} your handle is small too
[11:04] {fernp} gonna try again HIG
[11:05] {Threei} big offer at .45
[11:05] {Threei} reinforces setup
[11:05] {nemo} oy vay

[11:05] {Threei} wtg
[11:06] {ese} worked well...kept partially out 4k avgeraged it out at .49
[11:07] {ese} actually .487623 to be exact
[11:07] {Threei} invalidated RIMM
[11:07] {nemo} the long anyway
[11:07] {Threei} right
[11:08] {Threei} too bad, that break would have been a beauty
[11:10] {nemo} RIMM again
[11:10] {fernp} DBA, Vad?
[11:10] {Threei} need pullback for re-validation
[11:10] {Threei} RIUMM

[11:14] {fernp} that was for DBA, mags
[11:14] {magoo} RUM
[11:14] {Threei} probably Les
[11:18] {magoo} gld was invalid?
[11:19] {Threei} I wasn't delighted
[11:19] {magoo} ya ya
[11:19] {Threei} it more or less worked in the end but preety much crapshoot, really

[11:22] {fernp} bye Les
[11:22] {Threei} take care Les
[11:23] {Threei} so slow, fern...
[11:23] {Threei} things stalled
[11:24] {Threei} let's look at some postcard-type photos in fresh upload at http://www.realitytrader.com/photography/
[11:24] {fernp} yeah, shorted .39 i'll take a scalp (if I can) :-)
[11:27] {fernp} your city seems very european
[11:27] {fernp} beatiful heavens in all pics
[11:27] {Threei} yeah, prides itself ion being more British than Britain
[11:29] {fernp} such buildings are the typical you can find over here
[11:34] {nemo} rimm broke .45 another huge orer at .50
[11:34] {Threei} break on such vertical spike... nah
[11:35] {nemo} chewed right through
[11:38] {fernp} 1:1 NRG +.05
[11:42] {nemo} rimm break .60 stop under .50 look at order at .60
[11:51] {fernp} NVDA breakdown, Vad?
[11:51] {Threei} worth a try
[11:52] {fernp} ty
[11:52] {Threei} just a scalp
[11:52] {Threei} unless market starts dropping like tomorrow never comes
[11:52] {fernp} ok. i'll scalp it :-)
[11:53] {strider} aggressive entry make sense here, NVDA?
[11:53] {Threei} yeah, and if tomorrow never comes - what good those excessive profits are for you anyway
[11:53] {Threei} no strider
[11:53] {Threei} RIMM looks at that .60 with childish curiosity
[11:54] {fernp} daily seems ready for a pullback
[11:54] {nemo} on what fern?
[11:54] {fernp} NVDA
[11:54] {fernp} QGEN strong
[11:57] {Threei} NVDA shapes up nicely
[11:57] {strider} break of .74?
[11:57] {Threei} yes
[11:58] {nemo} cat vad, maybe short, I've got .45 as important but pivot is .38
[12:01] {Threei} .45 break I'd do
[12:02] {strider} stop?
[12:02] {Threei} .50 or .55, both are valid
[12:02] {nemo} .50 probably
[12:02] {strider} k
[12:09] {nemo} cat the frickin' fandancer
[12:10] {strider} in .44
[12:10] {strider} there's the big bid on NVDA
[12:11] {strider} .77
[12:15] {Threei} RIMM is trying to reinvalidate again
[12:17] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .60 break
[12:18] {Threei} stop under .50 for scalpers
[12:18] {Threei} .45 for day traders
[12:18] {Threei} 1:1
[12:19] {Threei} unstoppable RIMM
[12:19] {Threei} 'can you hold the moonbeam in your hand"...
[12:19] {Threei} never mind... wife was watching Sounds of Music yesterday when I carelessly wandered in the room
[12:19] {nemo} DF
[12:19] {Threei} it's quite a trauma for my impressionable soul
[12:20] {nemo} anyway,,,,I'm off to try and kill something...this day has been a CF!
[12:20] {dino} gl
[12:20] {nemo} ty
[12:20] {Threei} kill my portion too wioll ya
[12:21] {magoo} what CF?
[12:21] {Threei} or df
[12:22] {Threei} but, you know... when it comes to nemo I gave up on decoding
[12:22] {Threei} not only because it's challenging
[12:22] {Threei} but mostly because in most cases I don't want to know the answer
[12:24] {strider} CAT
[12:25] {Threei} makes huge prgress, doesn't it
[12:26] {strider} not much spring in its step.
[12:26] {strider} which is a good thing.
[12:26] {Threei} well, it's cat... it's prowling
[12:28] {strider} Is RIMM a long here?
[12:28] {strider} was
[12:29] {Threei} why here
[12:29] {Threei} it was long at .60
[12:29] {strider} there was some consolidation at .72, 2nd test of high.
[12:30] {Threei} if you wanted it for bigger trade, you'd simply enter it with stop .45, and have 1:2
[12:31] {strider} well, it jumped fast from .60....coudn't get in.
[12:31] {Threei} I see
[12:31] {Threei} it was a "hover" type of entry
[12:31] {strider} I was hovering .)
[12:31] {Threei} lol
[12:32] {Threei} unhovered too late then :)
[12:32] {Threei} usually, when hovering,
[12:32] {Threei} you don't wait for actual break
[12:32] {Threei} you want to gran last shares of big order
[12:32] {Threei} so you lwet go when it scrolls fast
[12:35] {strider} CAT looking like a dbl bottom
[12:37] {ese} dino.....anything on your radar
[12:39] {dino} just took fsys l

[12:44] {Threei} at this point just above .50
[12:44] {Threei} no two options anymore
[12:44] {ese} hmmmmmmm that sounds like a plan dino....spike to 25
[12:45] {Threei} as they used to say in USSR, we have pluralism of opinions, and there is no another way about it
[12:45] {strider} haha

[14:03] {Threei} your SEED works
[14:03] {fernp} yes
[14:05] {fernp} but i only took +.05 on it (my initial risk)
[14:05] {Threei} Fed proposes amendments to Reserve Requirements for Deposit institutions; allows establishment of term deposit facility; with no implications on monetary policy decisions in short term
[14:05] {Threei} - term deposit maturities will not exceed 1 year's time; with most likely maturity at 1-6 months
[14:05] {Threei} - Federal Reserve Banks would offer interest-bearing term deposits to eligible institutions through an auction mechanism. Term deposits would be one of several tools that the Federal Reserve could employ to drain reserves
[14:06] {fernp} i also shorted INTC at .30 (my 1:1 is here)
[14:06] {Threei} market really disliked this
[14:06] {Threei} Fed worked for you

[14:06] {fernp} lol

[14:09] {fernp} hey!!! thaks FED, +.08 INTC
[14:11] {Threei} lol
[14:12] {dino} gj
[14:17] {fernp} AEO ignores market. still on highs. and... if I hold some shares overnight? Am I crazy?
[14:17] {Threei} yes
[14:17] {Threei} but the real question is,
[14:17] {Threei} will it stop you from doing that?
[14:18] {fernp} good question
[14:21] {Threei} White House: President Obama to speak later today with regards to the terrorist attack attempted on Christmas day
[14:21] {Threei} - separately, in the last few minutes an Al-Qaeda faction claimed responsibility for the attempted attack on a US airliner, calling it a retaliation for US attacks in Yemen.
[14:21] {Threei} - reminder: over the weekend, the Nigeria man who attempted to set off an explosive device in a Northwest airliner was reported to have ties to Al-Qaeda.
[14:28] {fernp} looking at airlines, CAL and DAL could be fine for a scalp if break lod
[15:00] {fernp} .
[15:01] {Threei} Prez on TV
[15:11] {magoo} :(
[15:12] {Threei} ?
[15:14] {Threei} CGEN woke up
[15:15] {Threei} let's see if we get a pullback under .30
[15:16] {Threei} CGEN Update: Price target raised to $12 at Cantor Fitzgerald, maintains Buy rating
[15:16] {Threei} wow
[15:16] {Threei} let's keep it as a gap candidate
[15:17] {Threei} this is something very likely to attract attention overnight
[15:18] {Threei} Barton Biggs: USD could rise 10%; feels USD is undervalued vs the Euro (related EUR/USD )
[15:28] {Threei} a bit more on CGEN so you could make up your mind:
[15:28] {Threei} Price target raised 60% to $12 from $5 at Cantor Fitzgerald, maintains Buy rating
[15:28] {Threei} - Firm believes Roche's acquisition of two early stage assets, Alnylam's European RNAi development operations for $300M plus the RNAi delivery company, Mirus, for $125M for a total of $425M provide a good comparitor for Compugen due to the early development stage and long-term value its technology is expected to have for pharmas and diagnostic companies.
[15:30] {strider} long from 5.40 for overnight
[15:31] {fernp} I was long from .46 and sold .61
[15:32] {Threei} don't want to suggest it for right now strider, but something to consider in the future in this kind of situastion:
[15:32] {Threei} umbrella trade,
[15:32] {Threei} get double lot,
[15:32] {Threei} scalp one
[15:32] {Threei} hold another
[15:32] {strider} good idea.
[15:33] {Threei} review umbreall concept in scalping video course
[15:33] {Threei} it's exactly the situation to apply it
[15:33] {strider} In this case, I bought in another acct.
[15:34] {strider} NOt ready to hold overnight in daytrading acct.
[15:35] {fernp} me too, I use another account for overnight. holding AEO. let's see if opens with gap
[15:43] {Threei} EUR/USD CFTC: speculators have gone long the USD for the first time since May (update)
[15:44] {Threei} CFTC claims to know what side "speculators" take?
[15:44] {Threei} and just who is on another side?
[15:44] {Threei} not other speculators?
[15:44] {magoo} anti-speculators
[15:44] {Threei} sigh
[15:44] {Threei} idiocy reigns
[15:48] {dino} lol
[15:50] {Threei} I played CGEN half right
[15:50] {Threei} took double lot, that was fine,
[15:51] {Threei} sold one at .57, fine,
[15:51] {strider} not lookong too strong right now.
[15:51] {Threei} but then should have sold half lot more over .60, to replace it on pullback
[15:52] {strider} you think it's still a valid overnight?
[15:52] {Threei} it's those who don't want overnight exiting, strider
[15:52] {Threei} what changed?
[15:52] {strider} didn't run up to the high.
[15:53] {Threei} look at it from the p;oint of view of reason foer the gap
[15:53] {Threei} for those who see it after coming back home
[15:53] {strider} It's been gapping for 3 days.
[15:54] {Threei} 52 week high, news, upgrade by solid house with insane target
[15:54] {Threei} today's nwews come on the heel of the one a few days ago
[15:54] {Threei} altogether creates this "things are happening for this company" feeling for our beloved overnight buyers
[15:55] {Threei} normally this is what I want to see to buy for a gap
[15:55] {strider} ok
[15:55] {Threei} hey, I am not convincing you
[15:55] {Threei} overnight is totally discretionary
[15:55] {strider} I understand:)
[15:55] {Threei} just expressing my own approacvh
[15:56] {Threei} but risk tolerance is different
[15:56] {Threei} so....
[15:58] {fernp} AEO ending on highs holding 500 for tomorrow
[15:59] {Threei} okay guys, thank you all
[15:59] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[16:00] {lasertrev} see ya Vad
[16:00] {fernp} AEO nice daily too, maybe screeners will spit AEO like breakout play. Let's see

[08:59] {Threei} me lost

[08:59] {Threei} bought?

[08:59] {Threei} it was a short

[08:59] {Les} ok ok

[08:59] {Les} shorted

[08:59] {Les} my bad

[09:00] {Threei} you shorted .65?

[09:00] {Threei} not how I remember it

[09:00] {Threei} you shorted higher

[09:00] {Les} yes. note how small bounce ensues following short before the stock drops

[09:00] {Threei} which was aggressive entry

[09:01] {Threei} re read whbat you said... it makes no sense

[09:01] {Threei} [08:58] {Les} trigger was .65 b/d. I shorted at .65, fearing a drop into trigger - which subsequently happened

[09:01] {Les} ok clarification required

[09:01] {Les} is .65 the trigger. or when the stock ticks down to .64?

[09:02] {Threei} I don't remember what it was fo this particular case

[09:02] {Threei} but it doesn't matter much

[09:02] {Threei} you shorted before any of that was reached

[09:02] {Les} I called .65 trigger, you said yes

[09:02] {Threei} and you shorted somewhere above .70

[09:03] {Les} no no no

[09:03] {Threei} which was, yes, aggressive entry

[09:03] {Les} I told you I was in when it was .70

[09:03] {Les} i had shorted at .65, at 2:27pm or thereabouts

[09:03] {Les} stock bounced back to .70, then dropped to .50

[09:03] {Threei} then you asked me after you shorted

[09:04] {Les} asked you what?

[09:04] {Threei} whether .65 short is valid

[09:04] {Threei} because between your question and your report of entering it didn't touch .65

[09:05] {Les} yes it did

[09:05] {Threei} it dropped to and under after you said you were in

[09:05] {Threei} which was why I asked whether you took aggressive entry

[09:06] {Les} ok, so I shorted at .65, its on my trade log, so it is not aggressive entry

[09:06] {Threei} no, it's not

[09:06] {Threei} and .85 is not the right stop,

[09:06] {Threei} it had resistance at .80

[09:07] {Threei} so you shorted before you asked me

[09:07] {Les} what difference?

[09:07] {Threei} huge

[09:07] {Les} why?

[09:07] {Threei} I am looking at different chart than the one you ,looked at when you enterted

[09:07] {Les} hmmm

[09:08] {Threei} to exaggerate an effect even more,

[09:08] {Threei} imagine that the stock went to .90 after your entry

[09:08] {Threei} and you ask me whether .65 is a triiger

[09:08] {Threei} would m y answer still be the same?

[09:09] {Les} I didn't fear reversal immediately after entry...

[09:09] {Threei} now,

[09:09] {Threei} after you asked me,

[09:09] {Threei} I looked at the chart

[09:09] {Threei} and saw a resistance at .80

[09:09] {Threei} because a stock bounced AFDTER your wentry

[09:09] {Threei} and never went above .80

[09:09] {dino} gm all

[09:09] {Threei} dino :)

[09:10] {Les} ok so you use the very last bounce as stop do you?

[09:10] {Threei} meaning, the p,ay I was answering you about is a different play than the one you envisioned when entered

[09:10] {Threei} that was the case in this situation

[09:10] {Les} ok, so I shouldn't have looked at the largest bounce prior to entry as stop?

[09:10] {Threei} and this bounce happened after your wentry and before my answer

[09:11] {Threei} I don't know - we are talking about two different plays now

[09:11] {Les} I was looking at previous bounce to .85 to place my stop. this was wrong?

[09:11] {Threei} and I never looked into one you describe now

[09:11] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} I don't know - we are talking about two different plays now

[09:11] {Threei} 09:11] {Threei} and I never looked into one you describe now

[09:11] {Les} ok. I understand the play that you are envisioning

[09:11] {Threei} see, you are looking at things as if they were static

[09:11] {Les} so decisions for stops can be made with the very last bounce before entry, can they?

[09:12] {Threei} I don't know

[09:12] {Threei} if I looked into play you are describibng now

[09:12] {Threei} I might have seen something different, like for instance:

[09:12] {Threei} no play at all because it dropped from .85 to .65 too sharply

[09:13] {Les} ok, stock is too bouncy for what you define as appropriate setup?

[09:13] {Threei} or maybe there were some bids and offers that had to be accounted for

[09:13] {Threei} I don't know

[09:14] {Threei} you are asking three days later about something that might or might not be there

[09:14] {Threei} but here is something for you to look into:

[09:14] {Threei} the play I answered you about was:

[09:14] {Threei} .65 entry,

[09:14] {Threei} .80 stop,

[09:15] {Threei} and this one dropped to .50, giving you 1:1

[09:15] {Les} yes I know

[09:15] {Les} but didn't know that your stop differed to mine

[09:15] {Les} so I understand that stop was too generous, too large

[09:15] {Threei} see now how outcome changes dependent on the play stricture?

[09:15] {Les} just my opinion

[09:15] {Les} yes

[09:15] {Threei} no

[09:15] {Threei} not justr too large

[09:15] {Threei} it was from a different play altogether

[09:16] {Threei} you played one while asked about another

[09:16] {Threei} look at the log,

[09:16] {Threei} and you'll see this:

[09:16] {Threei} after you reported entry and stop

[09:16] {Threei} I asked whether you took aggresiive entry

[09:16] {Threei} you know why?

[09:17] {Les} I do know

[09:17] {Les} now

[09:17] {Threei} because your stop didn't match the play I saw,

[09:17] {Threei} so,

[09:17] {Les} yes I see

[09:17] {Threei} what I was thinking at the moment:

[09:17] {Les} was different from me

[09:17] {Threei} you entered aggressively,

[09:17] {Threei} and used wider stop, because you got better price and thought you have more room

[09:17] {Threei} which is wrong way to do it

[09:18] {Les} yes I understand...

[09:18] {Threei} so I wanted to give you a running comment

[09:18] {Les} I would not have matched .70 entry with .85 stop

[09:18] {Threei} so did fern

[09:18] {Les} but I had entered at .65

[09:18] {Threei} but it was before you asked, so we already talked about different plays

[09:19] {dino} ogxi strange

[09:19] {strider} morning everyone..

[09:19] {Les} so using bounce from 2 - 2:15pm is a statics setup not suitable for a trade happening 15 minutes later

[09:19] {Threei} strider :)

[09:19] {Les} st

[09:19] {Les} dino

[09:20] {Threei} maybe. maybe not - depends on what happened meanwhile

[09:20] {Les} k

[09:20] {lasertrev} hi

[13:11] {Les} someone with toilet humour trying to get in...

[13:27] {fernp} ty

[13:27] {Threei} stop is narrow enough

[13:27] {Les} WMT Vad?

[13:28] {Threei} strider, think of us this way: every time we are lucky to stumble onto wrong impression we hold on to it for dear life, insist on it being right and generally enjoy all ther fights we can get into defending that impression

[13:28] {Les} hmm and here I thought we were different from wall st and washington...

[13:28] {strider} OK .. then I'm in the right place. :)

[13:28] {Threei} I like WMT chart for long, I just doubt we can get resolution before the day is over

[13:29] {Les} ok

[13:29] {Threei} we are very different les

[13:29] {Threei} difference is:

[13:29] {Threei} we do it for the love of having an opinion

[13:29] {Threei} we don't change it depending on who pays

[13:29] {Les} :D

[13:30] {Threei} and we don't even care abput opinion so much as we love to fight

[13:30] {fernp} strider... you should buy a HOG

[13:30] {Les} well I might put a small stop on WMT and let it go while doing dinner...

[13:30] {Threei} what is the first thought I have seeing that huge Chritsmas tree

[13:30] {Threei} why, slap nemo woth it of course

[13:43] {Threei} not unless it spends about 5 min more in the range

[13:43] {Les} k

[13:49] {strider} I must be doing something right, cause I got 3 open, and it sure is boring.

[13:52] {Threei} how does it translate into doing something right?

[13:53] {strider} exciting is bad/boring is good.

[13:54] {Les} this, from a man who rides a huge motocycle?

[13:54] {strider} that's supposed to be exciting. this isn't.

[13:55] {Threei} good point

[13:56] {Les} really? I don't need to jump out of planes now I have trading...

[13:56] {strider} however, in the middle of bragging about doing something right.....I do have 3 shorts open. This is probably not a good thing.

[13:56] {Les} am I doing something wrong?

[13:57] {Threei} hard to tell at this stage

[13:57] {Threei} but if you are still this unbalanced in a year - sure indication of doing everything wrong

06[15:35] * Threei reasures everyone present he knows no their names

[15:36] {strider} {-------sends some of his 'people

[15:36] {strider} to Vad's house.

[15:36] {Threei} good luck finding anyone at my house within next 15 minutes

[15:37] {Threei} anyway, strider, congratulations on a good trading day

[15:37] {Threei} things start clicking together gradually?

[15:37] {strider} thank you.

[15:37] {Threei} two winning weeks,

[15:38] {strider} well.......don't want to get too self-assured.

[15:38] {Threei} win today, when the market is so stalled

[15:38] {Threei} no

[15:38] {Threei} no need to rest on laurels

[15:38] {strider} ouch!

[15:38] {Threei} but gotta give improvement the ackonowledgment

[15:38] {strider} oh, yeah. It's a different world.

[15:39] {Threei} espousing eluciation doesn't come easy

[15:39] {Threei} but pays off

[15:39] {Threei} as eschewing obfuscation becomes easier

[15:39] {strider} Much of my improvement has come from trade management.

[15:40] {dino} affy

[15:40] {Threei} and where did the rade management come from?

[15:40] {dino} darn, distracted missed ths s

[15:40] {Threei} trade

[15:40] {strider} developing cold-blood.

[15:41] {Threei} there

[15:41] {strider} Staying with the plan.

[15:41] {Threei} and that comes from

[15:41] {dino} glad to see it strider

[15:41] {strider} believing in the system.

[15:42] {strider} or...just not giving a ***

[15:42] {strider} :)

[15:42] {Threei} all of that

[15:42] {dino} lol, "your edge" is the key

[15:42] {Threei} but the common root, or denominator for them all,

[15:42] {Threei} general underatanding of what market is, what trading is about

[15:43] {Threei} when it comes the rest becomes jujst details

[15:43] {Threei} see a deviation, correct it

[15:43] {Threei} and let the nature take its course

[15:43] {Threei} while your own behavior is structured in tune with it

[15:43] {dino} gotta hop early, son's b-ball game, cya

[15:43] {Threei} so it takes you with it

[15:43] {strider} see ya, dino.

[15:43] {Threei} take care dino

[15:44] {dino} :)

[15:44] {strider} After Xmas, I want to bump my shares a bit. Still not trading large enough to make a meaningful amount of money.

[15:45] {Threei} don't worry about it

[15:45] {strider} yeah.

[15:45] {Threei} when things align right,

[15:45] {Threei} it will happen by itself

[15:45] {Threei} You won't even think about it

[15:45] {Threei} simply start trading righgt

[15:45] {Threei} then everything will be so natural

[15:46] {strider} I think that's right, cause I've given myself permission to trade larger than I am.....but when the time comes, I scroll back on the shares.

[15:47] {Threei} let me give you a quick example

[15:48] {Threei} 2 months ago, were you trading in cold blood, calm and in control, or were you unbalanced, emotional and genetrally not in commander seat?

[15:48] {strider} not in control....

[15:49] {Threei} ok, now

[15:49] {Threei} if at that point

[15:49] {Threei} I'd telll you, or you'd tell yourself

[15:49] {Threei} hey, be calm, be cool, be in conmtrol

[15:49] {Threei} would it change anything?

[15:49] {strider} nope

[15:49] {Threei} of course not

[15:49] {Threei} why? and why it became possible now?

[15:50] {Threei} because at that point in time

[15:50] {ese} you all have a great rest of the day and i'll catch you tomorrow

[15:50] {Threei} and at that point of your tading career or learning curve

[15:50] {strider} see ya ese.

[15:50] {ese} st

[15:50] {Threei} take care ese

[15:50] {ese} vad

[15:50] {ilana} bye ese

[15:50] {Threei} you simply didn't have enough deeper understanding of the nature of the beast

[15:50] {Threei} but when this understanding become deeper

[15:51] {Threei} some issues started resolving seemingly by themselves

[15:51] {Threei} Not all of them found their resolution yet, sure

[15:51] {Threei} but this is the process

[15:51] {Threei} you can see it unfolding right in front of you

[15:51] {Threei} My task is facilitate it

[15:52] {Threei} yours - to coordinate with it, let it flow,

[15:52] {Threei} work on undersatnding step by step

[15:52] {Threei} in a year or so, new guy will come

[15:52] {Threei} express frustration

[15:52] {Threei} tell about how he can't seem to get any single day right

[15:53] {Threei} and you will suddenly realize that you were right there a year ago

[15:53] {Threei} and you are not there anymore

[15:53] {Threei} and you know what he is going through

[15:53] {Threei} and can tell him what to do next

[15:53] {strider} yep.

[15:54] {Threei} the only ones who don't get it right are those who can't ovecome their ego

[15:54] {Threei} they think they need to argue with me

[15:54] {Threei} as if I am here to prove soemthing to them

[15:54] {Les} godammit Vad, find me a trade!

[08:27] {Threei} Iranian forces yesterday entered Iraqi territory at dawn, and occupied well number 4 in the east Maysan field in al-Fakah region, 450 kilometers south of Baghdad, Border Guard General Zaser Nazmi said. The Iranian forces positioned tanks around the well.

[08:27] {Threei} The border guards comments could not be immediately verified.

[08:27] {Les} haha US not willing to show them the door?

[08:28] {Threei} Iraq Deputy Interior Ministry: Denies reports that Iranian forces entered Iraqi territory

[08:28] {Threei} - Earlier this morning the Iraqi Interior Minister said that Iraq will clarify events at the Fakka oil field

[08:28] {Threei} ***Note that earlier unconfirmed reports claimed that Iranian troops "briefly" entered Iraqi territory on Thursday. - Fakka field operates 12 wells

[11:25] {magoo} POt was downgraded this morn

[11:25] {strider} DUH

[11:25] {magoo} could rot

[11:25] {Threei} and those are above waterline decrease pressure on the land when melt

[11:25] {fernp} BYD is a trap, Vad?

[11:25] {Threei} so it can rise keeping coastline on more or less the same level

[11:26] {strider} Whew!

[12:31] {dino} good?

[12:32] {Threei} IMO... skip it safely

[12:32] {dino} hmmm

[12:32] {Threei} and I am a tarantino fan

[12:32] {dino} i watch burn after reading last week, horrible

[12:33] {Threei} out of my three most favorites movies,, two are his

[12:34] {Threei} tells you something about how much I like what he does... but this one is just...

[12:34] {Threei} not anywhere even close to anything he's done before

[12:34] {Les} no, I have that film still wrapped in plastic. Have I wasted my money?

[12:34] {Threei} well... these things are too individual

[12:34] {dino} you want to watch some stupid, funny stuff, get the american pie collection

[12:35] {Threei} let's set some bottom line les...

[12:35] {Threei} my favs, not necessary in a certain order:

[12:35] {Threei} Once Upon a Time in America

[12:35] {Threei} Pulp Fiction

[12:35] {Threei} Kill Bill

[12:35] {Threei} if you like these, you'll likely to be cold to Basterds

[12:36] {Les} no plot, no stirring dialogue?

[12:36] {Threei} there is a plot...

[12:37] {Threei} it's just not very interesting, not enfafing

[12:37] {Threei} engaging

[12:37] {Threei} no tension he usdually creates so masterfully

[12:38] {dino} i have to watch, it's a wonderful life again

[12:38] {Threei} almost all his films are gory, to this or that degree, but he manages to make it elegant

[12:38] {Threei} not much elegance here

[12:42] {ese} gotta go.......my appologies for not contributing much these.....it's the natre of being a musician at christmas

[13:31] {Les} cool

[13:31] {Threei} both look attractive

[13:31] {Threei} and volume fkattened out

[13:31] {Threei} so can't tell which is more likely

[13:32] {strider} QQQQ is very differnt from Spy today.

[13:33] {ilana} can you in laser define the volume color based on buying and selling?

[13:33] {dino} fsys lod

[13:33] {strider} no

[13:33] {strider} no, ilana.

[13:33] {ilana} shame... that would help

[13:34] {Threei} on T&S only

[13:34] {Threei} not on chart

[13:41] {strider} Just read the other day that you can link

[13:41] {strider} Esignal to Laser.

[13:43] {Threei} study showed bourbon causes worse hangover than vodka

[13:43] {nemo} makes sense

[13:44] {strider} potato water.

[13:44] {nemo} corn water, what's the issue

[13:44] {Les} if corn can make ethanol, little surprise it gives people headaches as bourbon

[13:44] {ilana} gotta go, have a great weekend

[13:44] {Les} ciao

[13:44] {Threei} have a great one ilana

[13:45] {strider} see ya, ilana.:)

[13:45] {fernp} bye ilana

[13:45] {strider} POT nice breakdown of consolidation.

[13:45] {Les} vad, partialled out at .85 on WFC from .90

[13:46] {Les} am I right thinking wfc gonna b/d again?

[13:46] {Threei} you 5 cents pickers, lol

[13:46] {Les} I've lost some big m oney tonight being greedy

[13:46] {Les} well, big money for me...

[13:46] {Threei} it nears 1:1

[13:46] {Les} here comes my 10 cents

[13:47] {Les} I stupidly let 1:1 in FCX go by for more profit and then turned it into big loss as it turned with market at midday. ouch!

[13:48] {Threei} wait

[13:48] {Threei} OK, you let 1:1 go

[13:49] {Threei} not good but

[13:49] {Threei} but more importantly:

[13:49] {Threei} how do you let it turn into BIG loss?

[13:49] {Threei} one thing is, after 1:1 is reached, stop goes to b/e

[13:49] {Les} oh, ok

[13:49] {Threei} and even if you refuse to do that (no good but),

[13:50] {Les} out wfc

[13:50] {Threei} worst case scenario it hits your original stop loss

[13:50] {Threei} which is what you were willing to risk from the get go

[13:50] {Threei} now, if you don't take that stop and let it go fyrther against you...

[13:51] {Les} yeh hit original stop loss, wasn't happy cause it was .20 cents.

[13:51] {Threei} that IS a problem

[13:51] {Threei} but it was your risk from the start

[13:51] {Les} don't like taking 20 cent loss...

[13:51] {Threei} if it's big risk for you, why do tyou take this kind of trades?

[13:51] {Les} not big risk, but losing pisses me off

[13:52] {Threei} ponder this over weekend:

[13:52] {Threei} you WILL lose while losing pisses you off

[13:52] {Threei} you will start making money when losing becomes part of routine

[13:52] {Les} yes and no

[13:52] {nemo} paradox of trading

[13:53] {Threei} if losses piss you off, it means one thing only:

[13:53] {dino} fsys sm l .51 last try

[13:53] {Threei} you don't have right approach to trading incorporated in your thinking

[13:53] {Les} I will start making money when I stop squeezing trades

[13:53] {Les} I exaggerate

[13:53] {Les} losing doesn't really piss me off

[13:53] {Les} perhaps its this market at present

[13:53] {Threei} I suggest you think about what I said

[13:54] {Les} squeezing trades that don't come good too often

[13:54] {Threei} and make up your mind

[13:54] {Threei} 'cause when you say

[13:54] {Les} then a good trade becomes a loss...

[13:54] {Threei} [13:51] {Les} losing pisses me off

[13:54] {Threei} and

[13:54] {Threei} [13:53] {Les} losing doesn't really piss me off

[13:55] {Les} yeh yeh

[13:55] {Threei} I find it a bit hard to produce sound advice {G}

[13:55] {Les} I need to have scalpers mind set when it is scalpers market

[13:55] {Les} Losing through expectatios and greed that aren't met in present market

[13:55] {Les} expectations

[13:57] {Les} will try typing up your trading mantras this weekend for a change of habits come 2010

[13:57] {Les} my own trading mantras, not yours...

[13:58] {Threei} right, why bother with mine

[13:58] {Threei} they are only working for me for the last 11 years

[13:58] {Les} you know what I mean

[13:58] {Threei} sure... but I can't resist temptation

[13:59] {Threei} realize this les:

[13:59] {Threei} whatever particular problem you are dealing at some particular moment isn't very important

[13:59] {Threei} they will come and go

[14:00] {Threei} general underlying principle is important:

[14:00] {Threei} your mental balance comes from the right philosophy

[14:00] {Threei} if you find yourself pissed off, whatever the cause is at the given moment,

[14:00] {Threei} it means something is imbalanced in your core approach

[14:01] {Threei} until you work out the general understanding what market is,

[14:01] {Threei} how it works,

[14:01] {Threei} what trading is,

[14:01] {Threei} what your place in the market is,

[14:01] {Threei} what role you play in trading,

[14:01] {Threei} how you interact with market

[14:02] {Threei} you will stumble onto reasons to get frustrated

[14:02] {Threei} reasons will change

[14:02] {Threei} frustration will remain

[14:02] {Threei} the closer you are to the right attitude about market, trading and yourself

[14:02] {Threei} the more balanced you are

[14:03] {Threei} and the better your trading is

[14:03] {Threei} think of this interesting phenomena:

[14:03] {Threei} beginners oftyen find the seciond and third part of TTR especially useful

[14:04] {Threei} as they mature as traders,

[14:04] {Threei} they come to conclusion that it's a first part of TTR that is most useful for them

[14:04] {Threei} part that talks about general understanding of what market is and how we interact with it

[14:06] {Threei} did I sucessfully put you all to sleep?

[14:06] {nemo} coma

[14:06] {strider} THat was good, vad.

06[14:06] * nemo slaps Les around a bit with a large razor wire wrapped 2X4

[14:07] {Threei} ty strider

[14:08] {strider} This is my 2nd green week since I've been here.

[14:08] {strider} Not much. but something.

[14:10] {strider} That's easy to do....blowing a week with Friday excesses.

[14:10] {fernp} AKS if breaks 20, Vad?

[14:10] {dino} as patience would say, "be patient"

[14:10] {strider} And milk the papertrading for all it's worth.

[14:10] {Threei} same as they all are fern

[14:10] {strider} Just remember that real money will create a whole different set of emotions.

[14:10] {Threei} will work for a small move if market helps

[14:10] {Threei} chart is right

[14:11] {fernp} ok. thanks

[14:11] {Threei} les, last word on this by me:

[14:11] {dino} the end

[14:11] {Threei} what I typed above is 1000 times more valuable for your trading than 100 winning calls

[14:11] {Threei} lol dino

[14:12] {Threei} I stringly suggest you not to dismiss it as general blah blah

[14:12] {dino} :)

[14:12] {Les} ok. will delve into TTR for further nuggets of understanding this weekend

[14:12] {Threei} but embrace and espouse with ferocity

[14:13] {Threei} for a short version, just read the last chapter of part I

[14:13] {dino} les, study him, he will make a career for you

[14:51] {Threei} played it all wrong

[14:51] {dino} cya les

[14:51] {nemo} yeah, the obvious breaks have been stopped

[14:52] {fernp} [20:28] {fernp} 20 cents stop, Les. Adjust your shares

[14:52] {Threei} aggresive entry should have been with .80 stop

[14:52] {Threei} and drop to .55 gave p;ratcially 1;2

[14:52] {Threei} to take agressive entry and widen stop - makes no sense

[14:52] {Threei} it eliminates one of main advantages of agressive entries

[14:55] {Threei} I never cared for Saab

[14:55] {Threei} but I am sad it's gone

[15:00] {dino} yeah 3i, they had to eat an extra $40k, nice title search

[15:01] {dino} missed your questions

[15:01] {Threei} and we wonder why they are insolvent

Dec 17 2009

Very nice day with almost total frog eradication. I'd call it Midas day.

Session Time: Thu Dec 17 00:00:00 2009

[08:18] {Les} GLD prsented nice short but jumped straight over my offer.

[08:18] {Les} GM all :)

[08:18] {nemo} what's Les short for?

[08:18] {Les} Lesbian

[08:18] {Les} back in high school

[08:18] {Les} nowaday's its Leslie

[08:19] {nemo} as in Nielsen

[08:19] {Les} I exist as an individual being Nemo

[08:19] {Les} as in Leslie Robinson

[08:20] {nemo} {Les} I exist as an individual being Nemo...do you understand what an existential nightmare that is?

[08:20] {nemo} Hi Raven

[08:20] {Les} crap GLD just back tested my trigger price and I wasn't watching

[08:20] {Les} and look at GLD goooooooo

[08:21] {Threei} (US) Preview: Initial Jobless Claims and Continuing Claims due out at 8:30amET

[08:21] {Threei} - Expectations for initial claims are 465K v prior release of 474K (range seen from 450K to 475K)

[08:21] {Threei} - Continuing claims seen at 5.170M v prior 5.157M (range seen from 5.000M to 5.300M)

[08:22] {Threei} Les, what was your short trigger for GLD?

[08:22] {Les} the US is still shedding 400+ thousand a month? incredible.

[08:22] {Les} .60 with .70 stop

[08:23] {Threei} hey

[08:23] {Threei} good one

[08:24] {Les} price and volume baby, price and volume. I like this game

[08:24] {Threei} well, and chart configurations

[08:25] {Threei} this is clean nice setup

[08:25] {Les} doesn't the price and volume create the chart setup?

[08:25] {Threei} sure

[08:25] {nemo} look at amzn and rimm

[08:25] {Threei} they create everything

[08:26] {Les} I was going to say it all comes down to price and volume, but realise that is not true

[08:26] {Threei} it's just that these formations on the chart is easiest way to visualixe

[08:26] {Threei} and see the setup forming

[08:26] {Threei} also there is a pace

[08:26] {Les} price and volume must move in such an arrangement so as to create viable setup

[08:26] {Les} and pace as well

[08:26] {Threei} with is a function of volume in time

[08:27] {Les} volume in time?

[08:27] {Threei} 1K shares in 1 second and 1K shares in one minute is very different pace

[08:28] {Les} ah ok

[08:30] {Threei} *(US) INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 480K V 465KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 5.186M V 5.170ME

[08:31] {Threei} at this rate, how long before no one is working?

[08:32] {strider} and you'll have 5 million daytraders in the room.

[08:32] {Les} lol

[08:32] {Threei} yeah but

[08:32] {Les} that's what I call competitive workplace environment

[08:33] {strider} read FDX vad?

[08:34] {Threei} no read

[08:34] {strider} k

[08:34] {Threei} not enough base for reading anything yet on it

[08:34] {Les} .25 b/d on GLD might be in the works. larger stop this time

[08:35] {Threei} C is chewing through taxpayer's money with ferocity deserving better use

[08:36] {nemo} you mean, taxpayer toilet paper

[08:36] {Les} destructive capitalism

[08:36] {Threei} capitalism?

[08:37] {Threei} where do you see capitalism in that

[08:37] {Threei} if it were capitalism, C would have been bankrupt long ago

[08:37] {nemo} Les, capitalism in the US stopped with the institution of the FED and the income tax in 1913

[08:38] {Les} was playing with the popular description of capitalism

[08:38] {Les} capitalism makes things and breaks things down

[08:38] {Les} destructive capitalism is supposed to be a good tenet of the system

[08:38] {Les} but this "destructive capitalism" is exactly that - destructive

[08:39] {Threei} this whole mess, against popular opinion, is totally creatiion of deviation from capitalism

[08:40] {Threei} watch your GLD,

[08:40] {Les} happily for the oligarchs not too many people understand what capitalism is hey?

[08:40] {Threei} it may give you tighter stop

[08:40] {Threei} no, not many

[08:40] {Threei} too many really think it is a capitalism failure

[08:40] {Threei} just look at Moore

[08:41] {Threei} but then again... look how many think if developed country transfer all their wealth and industrial base to the third world countries, climate becomes better

[08:42] {Les} really?

[08:42] {Les} haven't heard that one

[08:42] {Threei} isn't it what is happening in Copenhagen?

[08:42] {Threei} "climate justice"?

[08:42] {Les} oh right. haven't been watching it

[08:42] {Threei} do if you want to be shell shocked by

[08:43] {Threei} umm

[08:43] {Threei} well, pretty much by everything

[08:43] {Threei} lol

[08:43] {Les} saw it covered on news when G8 in Geneva. Looting, rioting blah blah blah

[08:44] {Threei} wow GLD

[08:44] {Threei} typical example of when you don't want to enter on your trigger

[08:44] {Threei} tell me why?

[08:44] {Les} jumps straight over trigger

[08:46] {Les} sorry, didn't see your question

[08:47] {Les} doesn't consolidate prior to setup trigger. increased volatility. I guess directional movement is less predictable

[08:47] {Threei} plus sharp move into trigger

[08:48] {Threei} and sharp moves often produce snapback

[08:48] {Threei} so triiger becomes a trap

[08:48] {Les} ok

[08:54] {Threei} returned into trigger zone on drying up volume

[08:54] {Threei} good chance of drop from here

[08:54] {Threei} it's premarket, these things are less pronounced

[08:54] {Threei} but good for observation... as a, umm, teachable moment

[08:58] {ese} morning

[08:58] {Threei} ese :)

[08:58] {Les} hey ese

[12:34] {ese} cya guys and gals

[12:34] {Threei} CA) BoC's Carney: Pledge to keep rates on hold through mid 2010 is "conditional," policy will change if conditions change

[12:34] {Threei} - BoC believes the current rate plan is "most appropriate

[12:35] {Threei} no reaction by loonie

[12:35] {Threei} and actually loonie looks nicely bearish

[12:35] {Threei} thank godness

[12:40] {Threei} since larisa is not here, I'll abuse the analogy one more time and post this:

[12:40] {Threei} As long as you expect certain percentage of frogs to remain frogs rendering your kisses wasted - you don't consider every kiss not resulting in prince/princess appearance an error that can and should be eradicated. Thus you stay true to market reality - it's an odds game with no 100% certainty, thus no need to get stubborn and try to squeeze a princess out of each and every frog, thus stops are taken easily, losses are kept well under control and don't cause emotional disturbance.

[12:42] {Les} that's my problem - trying to continuously squeeze princesses from toads

[12:42] {strider} I don't know about this frog-kissing. I mean, I always heard they turned into princes. Too old to change my ways now.

[12:44] {strider} (NOTE to self: check gender of frog before kissing.)

[12:44] {Threei} I guess I am a reeloader...

[12:45] {Threei} I am waiting for someone else to deal with the frog, and then go for a princess if aforementioned appears

[12:45] {strider} OK. I vote for nemo.

[12:48] {strider} Lots of roses in Spanish Harlem.

[12:48] {fernp} lol

[12:49] {strider} care to read FDX one more time, vad?

[12:49] {Threei} not really

[12:49] {Threei} quick 50 cents drop

[12:49] {Threei} needs to do something here to form readable formation

[12:49] {ilana} AIG .25 break?

[12:50] {Threei} I hate the way it trades today

[12:50] {Threei} these sharp sudden moves both ways

[12:50] {ilana} what are the big offers mean?

[12:50] {Threei} usually a good indication of spike if broken

[12:51] {fernp} one mistake today: MU i didn't know it moves so slow.

[12:51] {fernp} It is doing nothing. I think I'm gonna close the trade here. with +.01

[12:51] {Threei} easy to see actually fern

[12:51] {Threei} look at its daily ranges

[12:52] {Threei} and how thick it is

[12:52] {fernp} y, true

[12:52] {Threei} rare days when it makes 50 cents range stand out like superstars

[12:53] {fernp} yeah. out MU .... I hate MU lol

[12:54] {Les} double bottom WMT?

[12:55] {Threei} not the kind I can trade

[12:55] {Les} ok

[12:55] {Threei} confirmation is 53 break, lol

[12:55] {Threei} Ilana, see what I mean about AIG?

[12:56] {ilana} you said spike

[12:56] {Threei} what the deuce was that... and during market upward move

[12:56] {ilana} spike down?

[12:56] {Threei} [12:50] {Threei} I hate the way it trades today

[12:56] {Threei} [12:50] {Threei} these sharp sudden moves both ways

[12:56] {Threei} this is what I refer to

[12:56] {ilana} ok

[12:56] {Threei} normally those breaks of big offers lead to spike up

[12:57] {patience} back in hgu

[12:57] {Threei} but the way this thing trades today, I just have no grip on it

[12:57] {ilana} i see

[12:58] {strider} GLD bear flag, best seen on 5min.

[12:59] {patience} don't say that, mortgage payment is tomorrow strider

[12:59] {strider} obviously, I was mistaken.

[13:00] {Threei} look at 1 min strider

[13:00] {Threei} double bottom, uptrend ever since, ascending triangle

[13:00] {Threei} break of triangle's flat top at .50

[13:00] {strider} yep. see that, too.

[13:01] {strider} not an impressive climb from the bottom , though.

[13:01] {Threei} well, it's in general downtrend

[13:01] {Threei} look at daily

[13:01] {strider} yeah

[13:02] {dino} fdx gap filled from mid nov.

[13:02] {Threei} goldbugs always hate my guts... but, gold is so dead

[13:02] {patience} on the way down,it still has relief jumps...i like those because they are steady trades for scalps

[13:02] {Threei} of course...

[13:02] {strider} But breeak of 5min. trend would be at about break of 1 min. support at 10:50. No?

[13:03] {Threei} and before dying eventually, will probably make one last rally

[13:03] {Threei} luring in believers

[13:03] {strider} about .30

[13:03] {Threei} then USD will rally like there is no tomorrow, and gold bubble will burst

[13:04] {patience} andwhen usd has momo up, iwill play it

[13:05] {Threei} oil story will repeat itself to a T... but of course "this time will be different"

[13:05] {dino} fwiw watching; ndsn, fdx, rino, gef, esrx, ebix

[13:25] {strider} k. thx.

[13:25] {strider} was trying to buy low side of consolidation.

[13:26] {dino} on these big(?) down days, i sit, wait for market to tell me

[13:26] {ilana} tell us what it says

[13:27] {Threei} he can't

[13:27] {strider} I would probably have been ok with wider stop. but not willing to take it.

[13:27] {dino} right now it says "sit"

[13:27] {Threei} it''s pure swearing, no single decent word

[13:27] {dino} break of 10345, possibly up

[13:28] {dino} other way is to hit bottoms

[13:28] {dino} but that is just me

[13:31] {dino} i see a lot of support levels holding well

[13:34] {nemo} pru could be interesting break of .08

[09:25] {Threei} Intel Corp FTC Challenges Intel's Dominance of Worldwide Microprocessor Markets

[09:25] {Threei} - Intel Corp sued by FTC, charging that the company has illegally used its dominant market position for a decade to stifle competition and strengthen its monopoly.

[09:25] {Threei} - FTC alleges that Intel has waged a systematic campaign to shut out rivals' competing microchips by cutting off their access to the marketplace. In the process, Intel deprived consumers of choice and innovation in the microchips that comprise the computers' central processing unit, or CPU. These chips are critical components that often are referred to as the "brains" of a computer.

[09:25] {Threei} - According to the FTC complaint, Intel's anticompetitive tactics were designed to put the brakes on superior competitive products that threatened its monopoly in the CPU microchip market. Over the last decade, this strategy has succeeded in maintaining the Intel monopoly at the expense of consumers, who have been denied access to potentially superior, non-Intel CPU chips and lower prices, the complaint states.

[09:26] {Threei} In addition, allegedly, Intel secretly redesigned key software, known as a compiler, in a way that deliberately stunted the performance of competitors' CPU chips. Intel told its customers and the public that software performed better on Intel CPUs than on competitors'

[10:34] {Threei} - States: has competed fairly and lawfully. Its actions have benefitted consumers. The highly competitive microprocessor industry, of which Intel is a key part, has kept innovation robust and prices declining at a faster rate than any other industry. FTCs case is misguided. It is based largely on claims that the FTC added at the last minute and has not investigated. In addition, it is explicitly not based on existing law but is instead intended to make new rules for regulating business conduct. These new rules would harm consumers by reducing innovation and raising prices

[11:54] {Threei} traders are buying?

[11:54] {Threei} from who?

[11:55] {dino} other traders

[11:55] {Threei} right

[11:55] {Threei} so... traders are buying makes just as much sense as traders are selling

[11:55] {dino} right

[11:55] {larisa} they mean market is up, so more buying than selling

[11:55] {Les} short WMT at .77

[11:55] {dino} no, every buy has a sell

[11:55] {Threei} how can there be more buying than selling? :)

[11:56] {Threei} RIMM invalidated

[11:56] {larisa} you want them to say : traders are demanding more ? :)

[11:57] {Threei} well, it's not a layman service... it's a trading service

[11:57] {Threei} I expect them to say things that make sense for traders

[11:57] {dino} i mute them larisa, music on. they know nothing

[11:57] {Threei} community paper can say that

[11:57] {Threei} pensioners read it while walk their dogs in the park

[13:33] {Threei} (CA) BoC's Carney: Canada to grow faster than other G7 countries in 2010; must prepare for "more normal" interest rates

[13:33] {Threei} - Recent Canadian data is consistent with expectation.

[13:33] {Threei} - Reiterates that risks from household debt are relatively low but rising.

[13:33] {Threei} - commercial real estate situation is US remains difficult

[13:37] {Threei} US) White House Official: Administration plan for boosting US manufacturing involves "ongoing dialog" on currencies, believes FX rates should be set by markets

[13:37] {Threei} - Would like to see jobs package discussed by Congress in early 2010 or sooner

[13:38] {Threei} sooner?

[13:41] {Threei} interestingly enough,

[13:41] {Threei} while FOMC days are often difficult

[13:42] {Threei} they are much more alive when FOMC decision means something.

[13:42] {Threei} Today's one means nothing,

[13:53] {Threei} Wednesday, December 16, 2009 1:52:53 PM

[13:53] {Threei} Preview: FOMC rate decision due out at around 14:15ET

[13:53] {Threei} **there has been a lot of speculation about the various tweaks the FOMC might implement today, though consensus expectation appears to be for the Committee to hold off on any hawkish new changes in its phrasing until 2010. The Financial Times recently speculated that the FOMC might want to begin distinguishing between its monetary policy and liquidity policy, which could result in the central bank raising the discount rate, while holding its federal-funds target unchanged at 0-0.25%. Some analysts also suppose that the Fed could start to modify its language on keeping rates exceptionally low for an "extended period." Notably, in his speech to the Economic Club of Washington last week, the Chairman left out any reference to the "extended period."

[13:54] {Threei} Other speculation is focused on what the FOMC might say about its asset purchase programs. The FOMC has made modifications to the asset program at its last two meetings (tapering the pace of MBS and agency purchase programs at the Sept meeting, and cutting the agency debt program to $175B from $200B in Nov).

[13:59] {magoo} RIMM is biggest peice of shit

[14:00] {Les} not tempted to short RIMM here... what did you do?

[14:00] {Les} watching it though

[14:00] {fernp} I hate RIMM

[14:00] {magoo} im just amazed howe it sux all the time

[14:00] {magoo} we may scalp a measly dime ..but most of time it sux

[14:01] {magoo} that fall off is just wrong

[14:01] {Les} I'm amazed I haven't been chasing such crap. I am starting to recognise crap when I see it.

[14:01] {dino} why play it then? like banging your head against wall

[14:02] {nemo} amzn at serious support

[14:12] {Threei} BA Pentagon reportedly will not recommend Obama veto of defense bill over added C-17 orders added by Congress

[14:12] {Threei} - Pentagon officials reiterate view that there are enough C-17s in the US fleet already.

[14:13] {Threei} that's one confusing item

[14:13] {Les} so congress is quite clear that it wants more pork in budget

[14:15] {fernp} i've wasted all my profits in three plays in RIMM. I can't get rid of that thought

[14:15] {Threei} DCGN

[14:15] {Threei} Decode Genetics Journal publishes discovery of major risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, dependent on parent of origin

[14:15] {Threei} - Scientists at deCODE genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:DCGN) publish in the journal Nature the discovery of a version of a common single-letter variant in the sequence of the human genome (SNP) with a major impact on susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D).

[14:15] {Threei} - The impact of the T2D variant is not only large, but unusual: if an individual inherits it from their father, the variant increases risk of T2D by more than 30% compared to those who inherit the non T2D-linked version; if inherited maternally, the variant lowers risk by more than 10% compared to the non T2D-linked version. Nearly one quarter of those studied have the highest risk combination of the versions of this SNP, putting them at a roughly 50% greater lifetime risk of T2D than the quarter with the protective combination.

[14:15] {Threei} *FOMC HOLDS FED FUNDS RATE TARGET AT 0.25% ; REITERATES RATES TO STAY EXCEPTIONALLY LOW FOR "EXTENDED PERIOD"

[15:34] {nemo} Guy changes his tire before he leaves home and heads out

[15:34] {nemo} As he's riding down the road, all of a sudden one tire rolls off

[15:35] {nemo} So, he comes to a stop and sees he forgot to put the lug nuts on the tire

[15:35] {nemo} So he's standing there wondering what to do

[15:35] {nemo} He gets this feeling and looks behind him and sees a guy staring at him from behind a barbed wire topped fence

[15:35] {nemo} He remembers it's the local insane asylum

[15:36] {nemo} So, the guy behinds the fence says, "Why don't you take one lug nut off the other three tires and use them to secure the other tire."

[15:37] {nemo} The guy looks at him and says, "Wow, that's pretty good." You figured that out and you're in there?" Guy behind the fence says, "Look, I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid!"

Dec 15 2009

Boring but winning day. As we came to call stopped trades frogs we have to kiss in order to find princes, today's count is princesses 4 frogs 1. CSIQ long right after open (the only long today), WFC short in few minutes for nice 1:3 move, then short RIMM stopped us out by 2 cents before proceeding to work (ugh), and two more shorts that worked nicely - BBY and MET. And as action slowed down, whole lot of decidedly not funny jokes.

Session Time: Tue Dec 15 00:00:00 2009

[07:48] {strider} 07:43 EDT RIMM theflyonthewall.com: Research in Motion valuation discount unwarranted, says Jesup & Lamont

[07:48] {strider} Jesup & Lamont's analysis indicates RIMM shares trade as 25% discount to the smartphone group based on 2011 consensus estimates, something the firm feels is unwarranted. In addition, Jesup thinks RIMM's November quarter tracked to meet or beat its estimates of $3.7B in sales and $1.01 in earnings. The firm keeps a Buy rating on the stock with an $80 price target

Legislation on raising the debt limit may be attached to the currently unapproved $626B spending bill which covers the Pentagon's operations for FY10. On 11/5, Democratic Congressman Sen Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Rep John Spratt of South Carolina said they were considering an increase in the US' debt ceiling.

[10:03] {Threei} **Note: The US' current debt ceiling is $12.1T. On Nov 4, the US Treasury said it expected the $12.1T debt ceiling to be hit in Dec.

[14:46] {Threei} neither am I for that matter

[14:46] {strider} Really? I thought my jokes were terrific.

[14:46] {nemo} leave that to me

[14:46] {Threei} larisa will be sorely disappointed as she expects only bad ones from me

[14:47] {strider} Actually I don't remember telling any before that bomb today.

[14:47] {Threei} of course they are strider, of course they are

[14:47] {Threei} that's what I tell myself too

[14:47] {strider} thank you...thank you very much.

[14:47] {Threei} and hey, it works

[14:47] {Threei} I laugh at them

[14:47] {strider} I think you should just type them out in Russian......be funnier that way.

[14:48] {Threei} and when I totally run out of fresh material, I just return to dino's large moth

[14:48] {strider} Hey, I was getting ready to tell that one.

[14:48] {Threei} that would be a discrimation

[14:49] {Threei} why only larisa and ilana should suffer if I can torture you all

[14:49] {strider} CS re-opens,

[14:50] {Threei} Credit Suisse Group Trading halted; Confirms settlement talks with New York DA over USD payment probe, to pay around $536M in fines

[14:50] {Threei} - Expects to record an additional pre-tax charge of CHF445M in current quarter before tax, CHF360M after tax.

[14:52] {strider} Re-watched a favorite movie last night, and think that this room should be renamed Anatevka. Sound familiar?

[14:52] {nemo} Asylum?

[14:52] {Threei} what's that?

[14:52] {strider} A fiddler on the roof...

[14:52] {strider} Sounds crazy, no?

[14:52] {strider} But here, in our little village of Anatevka,

[14:52] {strider} you might say

[14:52] {strider} every one of us is a fiddler on the roof.

[14:52] {strider} Trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune

[14:52] {strider} without breaking his neck.

[14:52] {strider} It isn't easy.

[14:52] {strider} You may ask,

[14:52] {strider} why do we stay up there

[14:52] {strider} if it's so dangerous?

[14:52] {strider} Well, we stay because

[14:52] {strider} Anatevka is our home.

[14:52] {strider} And how do we keep our balance?

[14:52] {strider} That I can tell you in one word!

[14:52] {strider} Trade-ition!

[14:53] {patience} very nice strider

[14:53] {strider} I did change the last word a bit.

[14:56] {Threei} mom only decided who to make dad

[14:57] {fernp} at least it was short. TY see you

[14:57] {Threei} maybe Ilana, but they won't forgive me another MET call

[14:57] {strider} I give up.

[14:58] {nemo} So, a recently married couple are sitting in the bedroom and the guy throws his jeans across his wife's lap and says, "Put those on."

[14:59] {nemo} Wife looks at him quizzically, and puts them on and says, "They don't fit, you could fit three of me in here."

[14:59] {nemo} Husband says, "That's right. I wear the pants in the family, and don't ever forget it!"

[14:59] {nemo} So, wife sits there for a second with a pissed look on her face.

[15:00] {nemo} She grabs her pants and throws them at him, "Try those on!"

[15:00] {nemo} Guy says, "I can't even get one leg in them."

[15:01] {nemo} She says, "That's right. And if you EVER want to get in them again. Remember I WEAR THE PANTS IN THE FAMILY!"

[15:01] {strider} groannnnnnn................

[15:01] {Raven} sigh

[15:01] {Threei} see raven?

[15:01] {Threei} and you thought I was bad

[15:02] {Raven} it is all bad

[15:02] {nemo} DPWFL

[15:02] {Threei} I just realized that my jokes to be funny require two conditions

[15:02] {Threei} 1. you are drunk

[15:02] {Threei} 2. you don't hear me

[15:03] {nemo} That's your singing

[15:03] {strider} I think that's where you're messing up, vad. It's US that are supposed to be drunk. Not you.

[15:03] {nemo} [15:02] {&Threei} 1. you are drunk

[15:03] {Threei} yup

[15:04] {nemo} what part of "you" don't you understand?

[15:04] {strider} Zoooom! Right over nemo's head.

[15:04] {patience} sigh, no trades for me today.....not my type of market

[15:04] {nemo} well, I am kinda' short

[15:05] {strider} Believe it or not, GE spike.

[15:05] {nemo} WTF momo

[15:05] {nemo} Magoo

[15:05] {strider} patience, I commend you for your, ah......patience.

[15:05] {nemo} ese...rim shot

[15:05] {nemo} no ese

[15:06] {Threei} GE Sees 2010 industrial profits flat, expects Q4 orders to strengthen - analyst day slides

[15:06] {Threei} - Worst is behind us in financial services.

[15:06] {Threei} - Could see more restructuring through 2010

[15:06] {Threei} - ... (15.76, -0.19, -1.19%) more...

[15:06] {Threei} - Expects to hold $23-26B in cash in 2010

[15:06] {Threei} (US) Fed Chairman Bernanke: Responds to Senator Bunning, notes regulation may be better than rate policy for addressing bubbles

[15:06] {Threei} - Resource slack remains substantial

[15:06] {Threei} - Fed was too optimistic about unemployment back in May

[15:06] {Threei} - liquidity and credit programs will not spur inflation

[15:08] {Threei} notes regulation may be better than rate policy for addressing bubbles

[15:08] {nemo} .30 range in Qs today oy

[15:08] {Threei} is this the first time ever Fed admitted rates maanipulation may not be the universal answer to everything?

[15:10] {strider} That's only half the answer. The other half is printing money.

[15:11] {Threei} look at AET

[15:11] {Threei} decisive moments in health care bill fate

[15:15] {nemo} aet just dropped

[15:15] {Threei} is the guy behind his shoulder drunk or high?

[15:15] {Threei} look at the glassy eyes

[15:15] {nemo} high, they'd be bloodshot if he were drunk

[15:16] {Threei} said nemo turning mirror away

[15:16] {nemo} going to work out, no drinking

[15:16] {strider} He's dying to get at that twinkie in his coat pocket.

[15:16] {Threei} lol

[15:17] {Threei} Reportedly FTC and FDA have proposed banning advertising focused on children for foods with excess sugar

[15:17] {Threei} - foods with more that 13 grams of added sugar per normal serving ar being singled out

[15:18] {strider} That's no problem. They'll just reduce the claimed 'serving size'.

[15:18] {strider} Already, 3 potato chips constitues a 'serving.'

[15:19] {strider} constitutes.

[15:19] {strider} I usually eat between 60 and 80 servings of chips.

[15:23] {strider} jeez

[15:23] {dino} i could go for some chips

[15:23] {strider} and magoo get get the beer.

[15:32] {Threei} it bounced right back

[15:32] {Threei} if you want it it's available

[15:33] {nemo} looks like it wants that pivot

[15:43] {dino} apparently i do not understand fds

[15:44] {Threei} I don't understand FDR either

[15:44] {nemo} he's dead

[15:44] {Threei} maybe that's why...

[15:44] {Threei} MET sudden death

[15:48] {Threei} Eric Cantor on TV

06[15:50] * strider slaps nemo around a bit with a large bag of {decidely not funny joke}.

[09:59] {fernp} MO breaking hod

[10:01] {magoo} news AMZN ?

[10:01] {Threei} nothing fresh

[10:02] {magoo} anything smelly?

[10:02] {nemo} probably after 50% runup near the end of the year, it's profit taking

[10:13] {Threei} let's let it digest things

[10:13] {Threei} and see if it forms new one

[10:13] {nemo} nvda might too. I took my eye off it at .30

[10:15] {Threei} mags... if you are really interested in POT, its moment comes soon

[10:15] {ese} L rrc

[10:16] {nemo} stop under .13

[10:17] {magoo} is your name MAGOO?

[10:17] {nemo} I was giving the stop

[10:18] {nemo} invalimudated

[10:18] {Threei} yup

[10:18] {Threei} done with second half NTRI

06[10:18] * nemo slaps magoo around a bit with a large tarsal gland

[10:19] {Threei} whatever POT does here, it's very close to bounce

[10:19] {Threei} matter of gut feel

[10:19] {nemo} it just broke a major support

[10:19] {Threei} whatever it does here - includes another sharp drop before bounce

[10:20] {Threei} point is, it's at the last stage of preparing to bounce

[10:20] {nemo} looks like to .50 and maybe .05

[10:20] {Threei} quite possible, amrket is dropping again and POT's volatility is beyond sane

[10:20] {Threei} actually it's beyond insane too

[10:20] {nemo} yeah, perfect for Magoo

[10:21] {Threei} but it's very ripe for bounce

[10:22] {Les} ooh ooh ooh can I have a go too?

[10:22] {Threei} only if you are drunk

[10:22] {Les} or is this for old hands only?

[10:22] {nemo} Are you old enough for adult rides Les?

[10:23] {magoo} u feel u are incorrect gender?

[10:33] {magoo} dunno what that means lol

[10:33] {Threei} you so will...

[10:34] {magoo} doesnt sound good

[10:34] {Threei} not intended to

[10:35] {nemo} RIMM .30 break?

[10:35] {Threei} big piece on Google's new phone guys, no immediate implications but I want to post it in full,

[10:35] {Threei} it can have a lot of future influences in the sector

[10:35] {Threei} not sure nemo, volume is questionable

[10:35] {nemo} yeah, looks like Qs

[10:35] {Threei} Google Inc BoA/Merrill Lynch analysts take a look at challenges facing Google's Nexus One smartphone

[10:35] {Threei} - BoA believes the iPhone and Driod are already offering some best-of-breed Google applications, wonder if there will be new applications for the phone.

[10:35] {Threei} - Belive price (both initial and monthly voice/data plans), functionality and carrier support will be key factors.

[10:35] {Threei} - Nexus One will be GSM based, so only AT&T and T-Mobile networks could support the phone and these carriers may be reluctant to embrace a new handset model.

[10:35] {ese} L fitb .07

[10:36] {Threei} - If these carriers or others would offer a data-only monthly plan, and subs. were content using Web applications (Skype, Google Voice) for voice, cost for data-only Google phone plan could be lower than current voice+data plans. Nokia has offered a non-operator locked phone without success.

[10:36] {Threei} - We see biggest risk as upsetting the carriers and handset manufacturers that are currently, or eventually could, support Google's Android operating system.

[10:36] {Threei} - Other risk is impact to Google's financial model if company launches new phone at a low price point (below cost) to build consumer acceptance.

[14:47] {Threei} - Announced it was informed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) of its decision regarding the protest of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) contract, awarded to Oshkosh on August 26. The majority of the protesters claims were denied, including challenges to the evaluation of the Oshkosh Corporation price.

[14:47] {Threei} - CEO: "It is important to realize that todays decision did not recommend proposal revisions nor did it recommend termination of our contract. We believe that when these narrow issues are reconsidered, the Armys decision to award Oshkosh Corporation the FMTV contract will be maintained."

Dec 11 2009

Quite empty day again - started with a few stops, then nice fat long on CAT almost fixed the day. It doesn't change the fact that this week was mostly miserable, with just one really good winning day. Gaps resolved in tight range for the day with not much to trade. There was interesting educational discussion about traders' development at the very end of the day though - read it if nothing else.

Session Time: Fri Dec 11 00:00:00 2009

[11:11] {Les} fcx might be ready for a b/d?

[11:11] {fernp} I don't understand your stop Les, If you stop was .20 then CAT hit your 1:1

[11:11] {nemo} that makes two of you fern

[11:12] {strider} your stop below .60 dino, SFSF

[11:12] {Les} .40 was previous high of day. .39 was highest this time

[11:12] {Threei} FCX, probably yes

[11:12] {Threei} .25 break

[11:13] {Les} missed 1:1 by 1 cent. I have in past sold in such situations. greed got in way today.

[11:15] {fernp} ah!, now i understand it :-)

[11:15] {nemo} Comprende Vd.?

[11:17] {Threei} they better come up with takeover rumors

[11:18] {dino} yes nemo .81 in sfsf

[11:18] {dino} stop was .57, now b/e

[11:18] {dino} next pop to .04

[11:19] {nemo} think it might be good to .20 or so

[11:20] {dino} nope

[11:20] {dino} mkt drop

[11:20] {dino} stop to .99

[11:21] {Threei} feel free to cover FCX

[11:22] {Threei} a bit too sharp drop

[11:22] {Les} thanks, did so

[11:22] {Les} out +.36

[11:23] {dino} sfsf to .04

[11:24] {dino} to .09

[11:24] {dino} out reverse, +.10, +.29

[11:25] {strider} reverse means yo went short?????

[11:26] {dino} no, reverse slip on the stop

[11:26] {dino} was at .09, stopped .10

[11:27] {strider} OK..I guess:)

[11:27] {dino} stops slip, thats what happened

[11:27] {strider} Oh.. ok..gotcha. thx.

[11:30] {dino} crazy feeling fsys goes to 40ish for strike

[11:31] {Threei} US Treasury Pay Czar Feinberg releases pay guidelines; BAC no longer part of evaluation; AIG found to have certain 'critical employee's

[11:31] {strider} short FCX again?

[11:32] {strider} never mind.

[11:32] {nemo} that volume spike means make sure this isn't a double bottom

[11:33] {Threei} Pay rules include 450 executives at AIG, Citi, GM and GMAC

[11:33] {Threei} - places threshold of 45% of total compensation in cash; cash salaries limited for all executives at $500K; with exception of 12

[11:33] {Threei} - finds certain AIG employees critical, and that a restructuring of contracts was not in the public interest

[11:33] {Threei} - rules eliminate tax 'gross ups' for tier 2 executives

[11:36] {dino} grmn

[11:37] {ese} ese is still here.......trying to make the new computor and trading setup work......

[11:37] {Threei} let's see if it's double bottom or breakdown on FCX

[11:37] {Threei} for DB, ideally:

[11:37] {Threei} couple moves between .50 and some resistance

[11:37] {Threei} then break

[11:37] {Threei} if pulls back from here, .65 will serve as such

[11:38] {Threei} ok

[11:38] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .65 break if holding .50

[11:38] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .50 break if stays under .65

[11:39] {fernp} missed, too fast

[11:40] {strider} in .66

[11:42] {Threei} it hit 1:1 practically after the break... I'd be careful with secondary entry in such case

[11:43] {strider} I don't think I'm fast enough to manage stuff like that.

[11:43] {Threei} FCX is a very fast stock

[11:43] {strider} All I can do is trade what is called.

[11:44] {fernp} this one would have been good for me I always offer my shares one cent below the round number

[11:44] {nemo} cat important level

[11:44] {fernp} i don like offer at .70 .80 .90 i prefer .69 .79 .89...

[11:46] {ese} question........ how do you resize a mac window when you can't get at the bottom right of it with the cursor

[11:48] {fernp} at 10:17 i shorted MS, one hour and half later I have my 1:1 . is terrible how this market moves

[11:49] {nemo} not to excrete on your clambake,,,no...it's how we play it. I'm so out of it today, but I've seen plenty on the charts. It's never the market's fault

[11:52] {Les} but I noticed with FCX, last big $ move, it cratered. looking to see if repeat performance today

[11:53] {dino} fsys hgl l .00

[11:54] {dino} trit

[11:54] {Threei} market looks ready to reverse

[11:57] {Threei} Long Setup: WFC .20 break

[11:59] {fernp} LOW 23.56, Vad?

[12:00] {Threei} looks right to me

[12:00] {fernp} .45 stop, no?

[12:00] {Threei} yes

[12:01] {dino} titn hl l .00

[12:01] {fernp} ty

[12:01] {dino} sfsf nemo was right

[12:02] {ilana} what's your stop on FSYS, dino?

[12:02] {dino} .69

[12:03] {nemo} and a fine stop it is

[12:03] {dino} we shall see

06[12:03] * nemo wonders where that came from

[12:03] {dino} how about trit?

[12:04] {nemo} outta' broken clock moments today

[12:04] {nemo} 22.20 or 21.82

[12:04] {Threei} market stalled big time, and pace dropped to turtle-like

[12:05] {dino} bit wide

[12:05] {Threei} this is a good moment for reversal,

[12:05] {Threei} if that transpires it can be violent

[12:05] {nemo} sorry looking at another chart

[12:06] {Threei} CAT is long candidate for market reversal

[12:06] {Threei} .90 trigger

[12:06] {dino} fsys stopped -.31

[12:08] {nemo} oh, I see it bottomed around 22.20...I'd keep that stop and 23.00 first stop if it get's through that, would probably be around 23.20 by the time it gets there

[12:10] {nemo} where you in Dino?

[12:10] {Threei} CAT hit 1:1

[12:10] {Threei} or 1 cent shy?

[12:11] {Les} 1 cent shy

[12:12] {Les} uh no. 1 trade settled at 57.

[12:12] {strider} not on my chart.

[12:12] {Les} t&s

[12:13] {Les} obviously not important enough for folks here to get filled

[12:13] {Les} and again

[12:14] {Threei} RIMM is bottomless today

[12:16] {Threei} half out CAT .03

[12:16] {Threei} scalpers know what to do

[12:17] {Les} I'll take 5 cents for CAT at lunchtime.

[12:30] {strider} thx

[12:32] {Threei} I don't know how to answer that les

[12:32] {dino} thing is dead

[12:32] {Threei} stall now - sure

[12:32] {Threei} it's right in front of us

[12:33] {Threei} what happens next - it's a matter of working scenarios

[12:33] {Les} ok. shorted .23 but looks like trap

[12:33] {Threei} mine is bounce, I watch for according setups, and take according p;ositions

[12:33] {nemo} Qs break .10 gets interesting

[12:33] {Threei} whether it gets confirmed or not - up to trading gods

[12:34] {nemo} should we sacrifice Les?

[12:34] {Threei} we need chicken entrails, and finest cheeses

[12:34] {Les} I'll offer my liver as sacrifice. getting thoroughly pickled with good white wine

[12:34] {nemo} You like Stilton

[12:34] {Threei} being from where he is Les may help with cheeses

[12:34] {nemo} yep

[12:34] {Les} no stilton here mate

[12:35] {dino} i like cheese

[12:37] {Threei} to .19

[12:37] {Threei} and offering above .30

[12:37] {Les} sorry, Emmental.

[12:38] {nemo} emmen valley

[12:38] {Les} but emmental is crap IMO

[12:42] {dino} gj

[12:42] {Threei} I didn't KNOW...

[12:42] {Les} ok ok

[12:42] {Threei} my scenario was for reversal, and CAT started breaking the donwtrend bedore market did

[12:43] {Threei} so it was my #1 candidate

[12:43] {dino} crack me up les, you remind me of magoo with the "know" comments

[12:43] {Threei} milked this one to the extreme

[12:43] {Threei} erazed stops

[12:43] {Threei} erased too

[12:44] {Les} ok. CAT was ahead of market. so stocks can potentially indicate their intentions

[12:44] {Les} or possibilities

[15:31] {dino} question, is everybody trading from their homes?

[15:31] {patience} my keyboard say ye

[15:31] {patience} s

[15:31] {Raven} same here dino with a foot of snow

[15:31] {dino} 7" snow here

[15:31] {Threei} I used to have downtown office first years

[15:32] {Threei} happily dumped it and moved home

[15:32] {dino} i can understand that

[15:32] {dino} i have tenant on 1st floor, covers expenses

[15:33] {Raven} but you are overhead then

[15:33] {dino} yes, sometimes tho, i think when r.e. prices come back, i could sell and trade from home

[15:34] {Raven} but you would miss magoo

[15:34] {dino} hardly

[15:34] {Raven} rofl

[15:34] {dino} he's cranky

[15:35] {dino} my sister just bought a pub and offered 2nd floor to me, but not sure thats a good idea

[15:36] {Raven} unlimited Schlitz

[15:36] {dino} darn pru, hold it all day, starts to drop, cut it and it runs

[15:37] {patience} nope, you would start sleeping at the office

[15:37] {dino} that may be the problem, lol

[15:37] {dino} strider you still in titn?

[15:37] {strider} no

[15:38] {dino} nor i

[15:49] {strider} so long folks...see you next week.

[15:49] {Threei} what?

[15:49] {Threei} 11 minutes of pain and suiffering left

[15:49] {Threei} suffer with us

[15:49] {dino} fdx gap filling

[15:50] {strider} I got a whole weekend to feel lousy about this past week. Might as well get started as soon as possible.

[15:50] {Threei} not a good idea

[15:50] {Threei} weekedn is for clearing the head

[15:50] {dino} bury the dead strider

[15:51] {Threei} not for prolonged suffering

[15:51] {strider} yeah. :)

[15:51] {dino} as livermoore would say; a loss never bothers me after i take it

[15:51] {Threei} you want it to be a crreer, learn to start clean slate every morning

[15:51] {Threei} not dragging baggage with you

[15:52] {strider} But only if things change from one day to the next.......I'm not quite sure how to do that now.

[15:52] {Threei} yesterday can't be changed but can be rectified tomorrow

[15:52] {Threei} ummm

[15:52] {Threei} you know what

[15:53] {Threei} talk to those who got over the hump relatively recently

[15:53] {Threei} ask them one question:

[15:53] {Threei} how long did it take?

[15:53] {Threei} you will not find anyone answering in terms of weeks

[15:53] {Threei} or couple months

[15:53] {Threei} nemo

[15:53] {Threei} ese

[15:54] {Threei} and heck, this week was admittedly tough for anyone

[15:54] {Threei} and I know why

[15:54] {Threei} look what we had every day:

[15:54] {Threei} gap,

[15:54] {Threei} fast, almost hystercial action at the open

[15:55] {Threei} which is not soething really tradeable

[15:55] {Threei} then whole day of nothing

[15:55] {Threei} and whole range for the day is quite narrow, even with morning spike

[15:55] {strider} My biggest problem these days is if I start off with a big slippage loss...which I seem to do. From that point on, there's already no way to get back to b/e

[15:56] {Threei} don't start with fast stocks then

[15:56] {strider} I'm pretty dependent on your calls....and that's largely what you trade.

[15:57] {Threei} we have all kinds of stocks and calls

[15:57] {Threei} and hardly anyone in the room trades all of them

[15:57] {Threei} everyone picks what is to their liking

[15:58] {dino} find "your" edge

[15:58] {strider} It has seemed to me that when I pick and choose among the calls, I end up with the losers:)

[15:58] {Threei} see, it all comes to what dino said

[15:58] {Threei} finsding what's yours

[15:58] {strider} Your system is basedd on all your calls...right?

[15:58] {Threei} umm

[15:58] {Threei} ratjer other way around

[15:59] {strider} I mean you're dealing with probabilities....

[15:59] {Threei} yes

[15:59] {dino} everybody is

[15:59] {Threei} but there are individual variations

[15:59] {dino} w/o "edge" it's a coin flip

[15:59] {Threei} read the chapter in TR about science vs art

[16:00] {Threei} TTR

[16:00] {strider} I know. That's the trick, isn't it? To have an edge. But if you don't have an edge......

[16:00] {strider} It's kind of like Steve Martin's joke about how to get a million dollars and never have to pay taxes.

[16:01] {strider} First, you get a million dollars...

[16:01] {strider} then, don't pay taxes.

[16:01] {larisa} lol

[16:01] {strider} Sorry guys, I'm just in a funk right now.

[16:01] {strider} I really don't know how to make things different come monday morning.

[16:02] {Threei} let's start with clearning your head, OK?

[16:02] {strider} k

[16:02] {Threei} then when you feel you can think straight, do this

[16:02] {Threei} go over your trades,

[16:03] {dino} strider, hang in a bit longer. soon something will start jumping out at you. that will be your edge.

[16:03] {Threei} pick separately those losing ones that really caused most harm

[16:03] {Threei} and find what is common between them

[16:03] {Threei} Like fast thin stocks

[16:03] {Threei} or some else critria

[16:03] {Threei} and eliminate those from your trading

[16:04] {Threei} At least for now

[16:04] {Threei} do the same with winning ones

[16:04] {strider} The problem is still execution, Ii think.

[16:04] {strider} For instance, that first GLD trade this morning.

[16:04] {Threei} try to find what is common between them

[16:04] {strider} You made money on it.

[16:04] {Threei} maybe certain setup

[16:04] {strider} I stopped out....

[16:04] {strider} because I wasn't fast enough to get the 1:1

[16:04] {Threei} OK, so skip these husterically fast ones

[16:04] {strider} ok

[16:05] {Threei} after you do such round of reviews

[16:05] {Threei} you'll decide on a certain selection

[16:05] {Threei} this kind of calls you skip, this you take

[16:05] {Threei} view my calls as menu in a restaurant

[16:05] {Threei} you don't order everything, right?

[16:06] {Threei} and you can't expect me to cook only what you like

[16:06] {Threei} because magoo comes and orders somerthing very different

[16:06] {strider} i know that.....

[16:06] {Threei} and dino drags in his own BBQ

[16:06] {larisa} have a good weekend people :)

[16:06] {Threei} and stinks up the joint with hickory smoke

[16:06] {Threei} take care larisa :)

[16:07] {strider} But my trades are essentially your trades....with a few of dino's thrown in.

[16:07] {Threei} so here is the first step to your problem!

[16:07] {strider} I lose on a surprising number of yours that you make money on.

[16:07] {Threei} you are trying to emulate me and dino

[16:07] {strider} the ABX short.

[16:07] {dino} cya lari

[16:07] {Threei} but your style, character, risk toleranxce profit objectives are not the same

[16:07] {strider} Well, yes I am trying to emulate you.

[16:08] {dino} stider, my ave is roughly 66%

[16:08] {Threei} what will work for you is:

[16:08] {dino} pick and choose will kill you

[16:08] {Threei} YOUR trading style formed as variation of mine or dino's or magoo's or combination of a few, with your own twist

[16:08] {Threei} look what ese does,

[16:08] {Threei} not much in common with what I do

[16:08] {Threei} or magoo does

[16:08] {Threei} or dino

[16:09] {Threei} look at fern's trades

[16:09] {Threei} his style is distinctively ddifferent from mine

[16:09] {strider} yeah...I can describe each of their trade types.

[16:09] {Threei} there you go

[16:09] {Threei} see the direction now?

[16:10] {Threei} watch all these trades,

[16:10] {Threei} try them,

[16:10] {strider} yes.

[16:10] {Threei} see what you are comfortable with,

[16:10] {Threei} make them your wn,

[16:10] {Threei} add something that you find and feel good about and stats show it works for you

[16:10] {Threei} blind emulation will not work

[16:10] {Threei} if it did, why would I teach anyone

[16:11] {Threei} I would simply call and everyone would follow

[16:11] {Threei} but that's not the point of the room

[16:11] {Threei} or at least not the main point

[16:11] {Threei} reread this all a few times over the weekend

[16:12] {Threei} it will nudge you in the right direction

[16:12] {strider} k

[16:12] {Threei} just don't stand still

[16:12] {Threei} repeating what doesn't work

[16:12] {Threei} and expecting that somehow it suddenly will

[16:12] {strider} yeah. I can't do that. the sign of psychois, right.

[16:12] {strider} :)

[16:13] {Threei} per Einstein, yes :)

[16:13] {strider} Thanks, vad.

[16:13] {strider} And dino.

[16:13] {Threei} "ulitimate definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results"

[16:14] {Threei} take care guys, see you on Monday

[16:14] {strider} see ya.

[13:43] {strider} I think it's rewinding.

[13:44] {Threei} .50 is support now

[13:44] {Threei} conservative entry nar it makes sense

[13:45] {dino} gs, no cash bonuses, giving stock w/5 year limit on sale of it

[13:46] {Threei} well... will it earn them good carma?

[13:46] {Threei} or public will still see GS as a root of all evil?

[13:47] {Threei} Fed's Duke: Housing market restoration will require more than liquidity; scarcity of lending hurts modest income households most

[13:47] {Threei} - restarting GSEs in old forms would not be wise

[13:47] {Threei} - sees possibility for some sort of Govt support to ensure securitization of mortgages

[13:47] {fernp} good moment here to enter, Vad?

[13:48] {Threei} listen here Duke: it's abundance of lending that lured modest income households in and killed them and whole economy with them

[13:48] {Threei} need market fern

[13:48] {Threei} it's still downticking

[13:48] {Threei} but if it reverses, totally

[13:48] {fernp} yeah

[13:50] {Threei} and, Duke, listen again: if securization of mortgages was a problem in private hands, it will be doubly so in governemtn hands

[13:50] {Threei} in

[14:34] {Les} yeh why not

[14:34] {Les} at least no censorship required for that

[14:34] {strider} too late.

[14:34] {Threei} RIMM goes for break

[14:36] {strider} FCX consolidation

[14:36] {Les} mistake forgetting about fcx. I exited short on last low of .25. Don't think to flip long straight after. not natural to me

[14:38] {Les} out CAT for peanuts. will wait to see what SPY does

[14:39] {ilana} real money, Les?

[14:39] {Les} paper trades

[14:40] {Threei} Three US Senators put forward a compromise climate bill that includes support for more nuclear plants, clean coal, and offshore drilling

[14:40] {Threei} no chance

[14:41] {Les} wall st has seen the future. it does not involve alternative energy

[14:43] {Threei} what difference does it make for wall street

[14:43] {Threei} it will tarde whatever there is to trade

[14:43] {Les} the implementation of cap n trade through derivatives.

[14:44] {Threei} if idiots want carbon creits, wall street will trade them

[14:45] {Les} who is leading who?

[14:45] {Threei} we don't know

[14:46] {Threei} but this whole hoopla started long ago

[14:46] {Threei} and it started in Europe

[14:46] {Threei} not here

[14:46] {Les} check out cool looking carbon trading exchange: http://www.bluenext.eu/

[14:46] {Les} yeh I know

[14:46] {Threei} so I would think it's much more likely that wall street plugs along

[14:47] {Les} you still in CAT ilana?

[14:47] {Les} it made .10

[14:48] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .90 break

[14:50] {ilana} out CAT .07

[14:50] {Threei} just confirms what I say les

[14:50] {Threei} idiots invent idiotic causes

[14:51] {Threei} wall street shrugs and figures out how to profit from them

[14:52] {Les} sure

[14:52] {Les} fyi only

[14:53] {ilana} why .90 Vad, today's high break?

[14:53] {Threei} yes

[14:53] {Threei} new high close to eod would signal closing rally

[15:04] {Les} GLD

[15:06] {Threei} aggressive entry is preferrable on RIMM

[15:06] {Threei} .90 is a bit too far from .70 which is support for stop placement

[15:18] {Threei} no range at all today

[15:18] {Threei} whole day running in place

[15:19] {Les} I'm curious to know how my trading will be once a reasonable trend returns.

[15:19] {Les} hopefully a little less frustrating than this

Dec 09 2009

Very nice day with 6 wins out of 7 calls. Quite a few of them were good for bigger moves and called as such. GLD played on both sides, RIMM gave a few worthy flays, so did FCX. End of the day was marked by a few colorful jokes as traders let the steam out.

Session Time: Wed Dec 09 00:00:00 2009

[07:46] {Threei} FITB

[07:46] {Threei} Fifth Third Bancorp Current tier 1 ratios remain well above regulatory minimums, expects tier 1 cap to stay above minimums under potential stress scenarios - slides ahead of Goldman conf

[07:46] {Threei} - Realized credit losses have been significantly below SCAP baseline and more adverse scenarios.

[07:46] {Threei} - Trends in net interest income and net interest margin compare favorably with peers.

[07:46] {Threei} - Sees continued expansion of net income margin in Q4, stable net income interest in Q4.

[07:48] {Threei} JAZZ Jefferies Initiates JAZZ with Buy, price target: $11

[07:48] {Threei} VNDA Jefferies Initiates VNDA with Buy, price target: $22

[08:10] {Threei} SQNM Update: Auriga raised to Hold from Sell, price target $4 (4.36, 0.00, 0.00%)

[08:11] {Threei} lol... do these people even gave quotes?

[08:21] {Threei} anyone see any PAL news?

[08:28] {tomg} yesterday some news on PAL but not today that i can see

[08:28] {tomg} restarting operations at its Lac des Iles mine

[08:29] {Threei} ty... I don't have it for some reason

06[08:29] * nemo slaps Threei around a bit with a large blizzard

[08:29] {Threei} hmmm

[08:29] {Threei} OK... whatever... no b,lizzard here anyway {G}

[08:29] {nemo} there is here

[08:29] {Les} ha. your cable gonna hold up today nemo?

[08:30] {nemo} question of the day Les

[08:30] {nemo} electricity could be an issue also

[08:31] {Raven} quite clam here at the moment

[08:31] {nemo} mmhhhh, freshwater mussels?

[08:31] {Raven} nah ... the zebra mussels kilt them all

[08:32] {nemo} irish zebra mussels?

[08:32] {Raven} perhaps

[08:33] {nemo} Raven...I'd bet your glad I never bred.

[08:33] {Les} most notable feature of housing in switzerland...

[08:33] {Les} electricity and cables are buried

[08:33] {Raven} that is a great relief ... glad you revealed that fact

[08:34] {Raven} last remark directed at both nemo and Les

[08:34] {nemo} I tell people I know I'd like to get married and have kids...they start writing me checks

[08:34] {Les} what?

[08:34] {Raven} lol

[08:34] {Les} I'm an ex-soldier

[08:34] {Les} child left in every ville i visited

[08:34] {nemo} I'm not sure who should be more offended...Les being grouped with me, or me being grouped with Les

[08:35] {Raven} too complex .. my remark was directed at Les's buried utilities comment

[08:36] {Threei} lol

[08:36] {Threei} that's deep

[08:36] {Les} :P

[08:36] {Raven} sheesh

[08:36] {nemo} piled high more like it

[08:36] {Les} what's on the watch list Vad?

[08:37] {nemo} stocks

[08:37] {Threei} JAZZ

[08:37] {Threei} NANO

[08:37] {Threei} VNDA

[08:37] {Les} what happened in pharm land?

[08:38] {Les} pharma

[08:38] {Threei} JAZZ and VNDA upgrades by Jeffries

[08:38] {Threei} with 11 and 22 targets

[08:39] {Les} ok. normal that jeffries doubles the price target for stocks it chooses?

[08:41] {Threei} lol

[08:41] {Les} when you see upgrades like that Vad - they normally so high as what Jeffries is putting on JAZZ and VNDA?

[08:42] {Threei} there is no normally

[08:42] {Threei} compare it to:

[08:42] {Threei} [08:10] {Alert} Threei SQNM Update: Auriga raised to Hold from Sell, price target $4

[08:42] {Threei} look at SQNM price

[08:42] {Threei} and tell me what "normally" is

[08:43] {Les} so how does an upgrade and downgrade influence price?

[08:44] {Threei} wouldn't you want it to be this simple

[08:44] {Les} insiders looking to sell SQNM pre-market?

[08:44] {Threei} it's not that straightforward

[08:44] {Threei} and never the same

[08:44] {Threei} and why premarket only

[08:45] {Threei} and if they wanted to sell, why would they assign a target 4?

[08:45] {Threei} below current?

[08:45] {Les} hmmm. bears taking up short positions?

[08:46] {Threei} why upgrade then?

[08:46] {Les} whatever. I assume it represents trading opportunity either way

[08:46] {Threei} there you go

[08:46] {Threei} it just attracts attention

[08:47] {Threei} after that, it's just read the action

[08:47] {Les} stop rationalising like that. soon I'll be navel gazing like yourself prior and post market

[08:48] {Threei} sorry

[08:48] {Threei} didn't mean to make you all philosophical

[08:48] {Threei} one nemo is quite enough {G}

[08:49] {Les} :)

[08:49] {Les} so are upgrades and downgrades the fundamental of your daily trading outlook?

[08:50] {Threei} not even close

[08:51] {Threei} overwhelming majority of them is meaningless

[08:51] {Threei} sometimes they provide opportunities on the oppsite side

[08:51] {Threei} and sometimes they provide opportunities when we deal with hot stocks

[08:51] {Threei} JAZZ and VNDA are volaitle ones, recent momos

[08:52] {Les} so the tickers in this case attracted your attention?

[08:52] {Threei} targets are far enough from current price,

[08:52] {Les} ah ok. question answered

[08:52] {Threei} so there is a chance they may get re-kindled interest

[08:52] {Les} cool beans

[08:56] {Les} I see public option stripped from national health care overhaul

[08:57] {Les} "...the group cobbled a proposal to empower the government's Office of Personnel Management to run a new national plan that would be run by nonprofit entities established in the private sector..."

[08:57] {Les} good to see. Things back to the way they were.

[08:57] {Les} lobbyists in charge

[09:01] {strider} Good morning to everyone in the peanut gallery!

06[09:01] * nemo slaps strider around a bit with a large can of cashews

06[09:02] * strider slaps nemo around a bit with a large bottle of seltzer water

[09:02] {nemo} Why seltzer water?

[09:03] {tomg} vad, what route do you use for listed stocks?

[09:03] {Threei} NASDAQ

[09:03] {tomg} ok, ty

[09:03] {Threei} if left to auto, it often chooses MLCO

[09:03] {Threei} and I find it to be just a tad slower

[09:03] {tomg} yep

[09:03] {ese} GM

[09:15] {Les} should it be used?

[09:15] {Threei} depends on how good algoritm is

Dec 08 2009

That was mind-numbingly boring day. Between some scalps and stops, just slightly up thanks to GLD short; narrow range for the most of the day just didn't provide enough opportunities.

[08:12] {nemo} Hi Raven

[08:12] {Raven} hello

[08:12] {nemo} mornin' fern

[08:12] {nemo} day strider

[08:13] {nemo} you going to get pummelled with snow out there in Michigan?

[08:14] {Raven} possibly ... but there is going to be a mix of rain and snow in some areas so it is not a sure thang

[08:15] {nemo} you seem to have quite the affinity for certain vernacular

[08:15] {Raven} lol ... it amuses me

[08:16] {nemo} me too

[08:18] {Threei} who is that vernacular?

[08:18] {nemo} it's a "what" specifically "thang"

[08:31] {strider} AIG estimates lowered due to P&C segment weakness at UBS

[08:38] {Les} I disagree with this notion Vad. survival may well be wired into human beings, so suggests evolutionary psychology and biology.

[08:39] {Les} and good morning

[08:39] {Threei} good morning

[08:39] {Les} thank heavens learning is not compulsory.

[08:39] {Les} otherwise I'd have to get a real job

[08:39] {nemo} maybe les, but then free will can get in the way

[08:40] {Threei} Ayn Rand: humans are the only beings whose means of survival--reason--is not automatic

[08:40] {Les} not sure about free will nemo

[08:40] {nemo} Some people just give up and die

[08:40] {nemo} they make a choice

[08:41] {Threei} anyway, that was a half joke

[08:41] {Les} yeh i understood that

[08:41] {Threei} with meaning of learning necessary for surviavl

[08:41] {nemo} 1/4 joke if lucky

[09:32] {Threei} could be a trade we will revisit

[09:32] {Threei} ugh, missed UAUA

[09:33] {Threei} .90 should send WFC down screaming

[09:52] {Threei} GERN's path in the market over last 10 years is marked with many tumbstones

[09:53] {ese} having a 1/2 from before helped......was able to give it a wide berth so it could move and i wasn't too woried about it....might have been dn $230.00 at most

[10:22] {Threei} can't stomach it billy

[10:22] {Threei} spread, thinness

[10:22] {magoo} sad when all we can get with RIMM is measly dime imo

[10:22] {Threei} (US) Reportedly Pres Obama to call for tax cuts and elemination of capital gains taxes on small business for one year

[10:23] {dino} rimm sucks

[10:23] {BillyD} lol

[10:23] {magoo} vads call

[10:23] {Threei} sheesh, just buy AAPL

[10:23] {dino} wow obama may finally get something

[10:23] {magoo} sensitive there boss?

[10:24] {dino} so if that would work, why ever have cap. gains tax?

[10:24] {Threei} I take offense on RIMM's part

[10:24] {nemo} gotta' soak the rich

[10:24] {Threei} poor bastard isn't to blame for market suckiness

[10:24] {nemo} that's anybody making over 40k a year, btw

[10:24] {dino} fear the reaper (destryer0

[10:24] {nemo} BOC

[10:25] {strider} BAC?

[10:25] {Threei} dunno dino... evil is in details

[10:25] {nemo} no in reply to Dino's reaper comment

[10:25] {Threei} I am yet to hear the proposxal before I get any optimistic

[10:26] {Les} wfc .25 b/d?

[10:26] {Threei} this is typical "let's solve our problems by extraction money from rich" administration

[10:26] {dino} ironic tho, he is admitting that lower taxes should get things moving

[10:26] {nemo} yeah, because a hiring tax credit is useless if you have no profits

[10:26] {Threei} starts looking like that Les

[10:27] {Threei} but the thing about WFC is,

[10:27] {Threei} it largely moves with market, gioving some divergincies here and there,

[10:27] {dino} i froze mtn when i took it

[10:27] {Threei} and while those divergencies hint olf likely direction

[10:27] {dino} kr too

[10:27] {Threei} it still needs market to lead

[10:28] {Threei} so, my thought is,

[10:28] {Threei} return to the idea of shorting it later in the day

[10:28] {Threei} when/if markert starts its late decsent

[10:28] {Threei} descent too

[10:29] {Threei} NANO honestly trying

[10:29] {strider} RIMM looking short.

[10:30] {dino} snhy spike, thin

[10:37] {Threei} mags et all, my view on RIMM:

[10:37] {magoo} now AIG..THAT SUX along with DRYS

[10:37] {Threei} it's a great trading vehicle,

[10:37] {Threei} but as everything in life, it goes through cycles

[10:37] {Threei} contraction and expansion

[10:37] {Threei} its tradeability is contracting right now,

[10:37] {Threei} it will be back at some point

[10:37] {dino} like drinkability

[10:38] {Threei} it's Ecclesiatus or how you spell him

[13:59] {Threei} HOKU

[14:00] {Threei} Hoku Scientific Discloses entered Amendment No.3 to second amended supply agreement with Solarfun effective Dec 4 - filing (update)

[14:00] {Threei} - On November 15, 2009, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Second Amended and Restated Supply Agreement with Solarfun, or Amendment No. 3, which became effective on December 4, 2009, the date when Solarfun paid us $8M of the $13M prepayment balance that was past due. Under Amendment No. 3, we agreed that Solarfun could pay us the $13M that was due in July through October 2009, in increments of $8M, which was paid on December 4, 2009, $4M to be paid in March 2010, and $1M to be paid when we commence the shipment of polysilicon to Solarfun.

[14:00] {Threei} - The balance of $5M that was payable in January 2010, is to be paid in equal monthly increments of $1M during each of the five subsequent months after the month of the first shipment. Solarfun retains the right to terminate the Supply Agreement if Hoku has not commenced shipments by June 30, 2010, and Hoku retains the right to terminate the Supply Agreement, and retain all prepayments received, if Solarfun fails to pay any of its future prepayments when due.

[14:16] {Threei} oil is down but mostly stays put

[14:16] {nemo} gold is correcting

[14:16] {Threei} and market opened down but only climbed since then

[14:16] {nemo} it's been trending down slightly since noon

[14:17] {nemo} that's splitting the proverbial hair

[14:51] {Les} sorry, watching my CAT short. All will be will if CAT makes .26 Vad. then I'll buy champagne

[14:51] {nemo} this is turning into those bleeding downward days, where there aren't alot of good short entries

[14:51] {Threei} it's just way too narrow nemo

[14:51] {Threei} not a real selloff

[14:52] {nemo} yeah

[14:52] {nemo} oh, maybe we shouldn't speak too soon

[14:52] {Threei} look at NQ, it;'s barely 12 points off day's high

[14:57] {Threei} I must have missed something

[14:57] {patience} just practising my re-writing of history

[14:57] {Threei} ahhh

[14:57] {Threei} no chance to beat russians at that

[14:57] {Threei} USSR was called "the country with unpredictable past" not for nothing

[14:58] {Threei} bounce is coming, GLD

[15:07] {Threei} no hatred to it today, worked fine for us... just too bad we haven't used to it behaving, so didn't stay in short for longer

[15:09] {strider} GLD support at .14

[15:09] {strider} nemo's kind of support.

[15:11] {strider} long over .40, vad?

[15:19] {strider} who or what is swiper?

[15:20] {dino} kids' cartoon, think it was dora the explorer

[15:20] {Les} lol yeh I remember hiim

[15:21] {nemo} Well, then there was Glum on Gulliver's Travels, "We're doomed for sure."

[15:21] {dino} a bad racoon i believe

[15:21] {nemo} rimm wedge

[15:21] {Les} AONE b/d on .10 trigger?

[15:22] {dino} i typed it because, afternoons used to be my most profittable time of day, as i start slow

[15:22] {strider} dino, that's cause you get here 2 minutes before the bell} :)

[15:22] {nemo} nice one

[15:22] {Threei} well

[15:22] {Threei} chart wise yes

[15:23] {Les} vol. sucks

[15:23] {Threei} but volatility can be horrifying on AONE

[15:23] {dino} actually i'm in at 9:00 am, just doing my scanner and news rounds first

[15:23] {Les} k

[15:23] {strider} Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.

[15:23] {dino} nope

[15:23] {dino} :)

[15:23] {strider} aw c'mon.

[15:24] {dino} you guys are simply last on my to do list

[15:24] {strider} I figgered.

[15:24] {larisa} lol

[15:24] {BillyD} rofl

[15:24] {nemo} frig' watching you guys go back and forth missed .30 break fcx

[15:24] {Les} lol

[15:25] {nemo} oh and rimm broke the wedge

[15:26] {Les} ok ca suffit pour moi aujourd hui. A demain

[15:27] {nemo} wife's callin' huh?

[15:27] {Les} nah sleep calling. Mrs can wait

[15:31] {dino} all i had to do was hold meli, mtn and would've had awesome day, scalpers regrets

[15:31] {larisa} was just thinking about you and MTN :)

[15:31] {Threei} well, you know what happens when you decide to hold them

[15:33] {dino} ftbkd

[15:33] {Threei} ty dino but we need username too

[15:33] {dino} lol larisa, did you see me knock my head against the wall

[15:33] {larisa} yes :)

[15:37] {Threei} so far, no sel,loff, no rally... sideays action and incredibly boring at that

[15:37] {nemo} gap down day

[15:37] {Threei} if not for that GLD short, I wouldn't be able to explain why I bothered to wake up today

[15:38] {BillyD} AIG is strong

[15:38] {strider} AMZN is getting ready to do something....no idea what.

[15:38] {nemo} siting right on yesterday's close

[15:43] {Threei} look at AET guys

[15:43] {nemo} what specifically?

[15:43] {Threei} a lo of talk about public option getting killed in Senate today

[15:47] {Threei} maybe a quick closing play on .50 breakout when overnight gamblers decide to take AET home for a gaop if that's what happens in Senate

[15:48] {strider} stop?

[15:49] {Threei} .40 is nearest support

[15:49] {dino} talk of increasing medicare to 50 years instead of 65, aet and wlp, hum all sell med supps

[15:49] {Threei} but that close to day's end may have to cloe the play on time

[15:49] {nemo} fcx finishing near low

[15:49] {Threei} 55 dino

[15:50] {dino} ironically that would be the easiest plan, covers basic health, if mor desired, purchase supss. altho medicare and medicaid are basically broke too

[15:50] {dino} my typing stinks

[15:50] {nemo} all there going to do is put a big tax increase in, setup huge deductibles and cover nothing

[15:50] {dino} unh too

[15:51] {dino} but my bet is nothing gets passed. what good is it if nobody can pay w/o jobs. congress finally seeing that

[15:52] {BillyD} focus needs to be supplying goods globally

[15:53] {nemo} fcx selling off

[15:53] {dino} nemo, imo catastophic plans would work. look at the heath msa's they make people think twice before running to doctors.

[15:53] {Threei} no attempt to break, AET

[15:53] {Threei} but as this battle draws th resolution, this is a stock to wtch

[15:59] {dino} out rino .31 -.24

[15:59] {Threei} kay guys

[16:00] {Threei} really boring day

[16:00] {strider} ywn

[16:01] {larisa} what did you do with AMZN strider?

[16:01] {strider} You're not gonna sing, are you fern?}

[16:01] {fernp} no, lol

[16:01] {strider} Just a rather arbitrary 'looks like it's going up' trade.

[16:01] {BillyD} Take care everyone, have a nice holidays

[16:02] {strider} Holiday?

[16:02] {strider} what holiday?

[16:02] {BillyD} no, i won't be in room for holidays

[08:45] {BillyD} rofl

[08:45] {Threei} easy... 1:1 is easier reachable when it's a smaller move in absolute terms, and with decent amount of shares it's safer and more consistent way to trade

[08:48] {Moose} gm all

[08:48] {Threei} Moose :)

[08:48] {Moose} :D

[08:49] {Les} yes, trading 50 shares and not even taking 1:1 was pretty lame in hindsight

[10:01] {Threei} .95 is still attractive short trigger

[10:02] {Threei} 27.10 is resistance for stop placement

[10:02] {BillyD} what is stop .05

[10:02] {Threei} .05 for hard core scalpers

[10:02] {Threei} and it looks like much more than scalp to me

[10:03] {Threei} with any market help, capable of a bigger move

[10:04] {Moose} 1:1 i assume

[10:39] {BillyD} AKAM short idea if breaks .39 w.50 stop

[10:40] {dino} meli

[10:40] {Threei} I like it Billy

[10:40] {BillyD} actually, want some consolidation under .50

[10:41] {Les} CAT approaching bottom of range again

[10:41] {BillyD} the .53 spikes make me hesitate

[10:41] {Threei} watch those huge bids

[10:41] {Threei} .41 and .39

[10:41] {BillyD} ok

[10:42] {strider} sstopped balance AIG .72

[10:43] {Threei} very nice management of the play

[10:45] {strider} held a little back hoping for 31, but didn't get there.

[10:45] {dino} gj

[10:45] {Les} CAT closer to b/d vad. seems to be consolidating?

[10:45] {strider} thx

[10:46] {Threei} I am puzzled about it Les

[10:46] {Threei} chart is right

[10:46] {Threei} but none of these setups worked today

[10:46] {Les} It's gotta be "them"

[10:47] {Threei} breakdown are either get invalidated (9 out of 10) ot stopped out (remaining 1)

[10:48] {Threei} it feels like end of week action encouraged bears too much,

[10:48] {nemo} yeah, I almost got caught in a cat short earlier

[10:48] {fernp} invalidated AKAM Billy

[10:48] {Threei} so market has to shake up that confidence once again

[10:48] {BillyD} yes

[10:48] {Les} how rude

[10:51] {Threei} on the other hand, market loses morning enthusiasm

[10:51] {nemo} but...does that turn to market coma, or fear

[10:51] {Threei} good question

[10:52] {Threei} I wish I had worthy answer

[10:52] {nemo} me too...may be nap time

[10:52] {Threei} let's put it this way:

[10:52] {Threei} if market starts dropping sharply, CAT is one of the best candidates,

06[10:52] * nemo crawls in cave, closes door, pulls blanket over head, grabs teddy

[10:53] {Threei} and if it leaves us a window of opportunity for entry, great

[10:53] {nemo} should retest the .50 area if it rops

[10:53] {Les} I was thinking here at .80 vad

[10:53] {Threei} here comes trigger

[10:54] {strider} short at .71?

[10:54] {Threei} why .71? .75 break was a trigger

[10:54] {fernp} shorted at .74

[10:54] {fernp} stop is above .90?

[10:55] {Threei} right

[10:55] {fernp} thanks

[10:55] {strider} because .72 was lod....hadn't been following all the conversation.

[10:55] {Threei} .75 was lod

[10:55] {strider} in at. 74

[10:55] {Threei} .72 is new one formed after .75 gave up

[10:56] {Threei} OK market, let's drop

[10:56] {Les} ok, didn't realise that was a call. short at .74

[10:56] {nemo} you've got recent swing lows from Friday of .60 and .48

[10:56] {Threei} les, how do you tell a call from nor a call

[10:56] {Threei} we see chart, we discuss it

[10:56] {Les} big green/red square

[10:56] {Threei} shrug

[10:56] {Les} thats ok

[10:57] {Les} will adopt vads ways given time

[10:57] {Threei} that's for easy visual... not a gospel

[10:57] {strider} then he'll just change them.

[10:57] {Threei} don't take it as "if no bright color loud scream alert, no play"

[10:58] {Threei} lol strider

[11:06] {Les} sorry. Nemo's remarks were useful

[11:22] {Threei} this mountain is about 100 km from us

[11:23] {Threei} amazing for tele lens can do ej

[11:23] {ese} the physics guy at my school explained it to me.... a little warmth on the ocean creates a convex type camera lens with the moisture rising......magnifies the other side quite significantly

[11:23] {nemo} that's same reason moon looks so big when it's low in the sky: looking through more atmosphere than when it's high in the sky

[11:23] {strider} cmon CAT.

[11:24] {strider} sorry, bid.:)

[11:25] {Threei} watch your terminology... that's exactly why some hit sell instead of buy when cover (Threei is squinting at fern)

[11:26] {fernp} if we play AKAM short, stop should be above .60, all other levels seem a bit feeble

[11:26] {strider} I keep a little text box over each L2, so I can type my position in. Helps keep me straight.

[11:27] {strider} lightening up at .56

[11:27] {strider} looks like it might be a bottom.

[11:49] {strider} Maybe my chart's upside down.

[11:51] {Threei} NQ less than 10 poins range

[11:52] {strider} Financial statements out today for FGXI

[11:52] {Threei} well... except sense of humor

[11:52] {strider} no. wrong.

[11:52] {dino} could be strike pay on it

[11:52] {Les} strider they frame works of art and demand ridiculous sums of money for charts like FXG http://up.widget.mibbit.com/up/4dp21Gzn.gif

[11:55] {strider} you know what vad said when he walked into a bar?

[11:56] {magoo} wheres magoo?

[11:56] {strider} exactly.

[11:56] {strider} stole my thunder.

[11:57] {Threei} hmmm... my usual icebreaker in the bar is "shot of cogjnac and salted cucumber please"...

[11:57] {BillyD} you get a funny look?

[11:57] {Threei} if I go all fancy, it's champaign and pickled cucumber

[11:58] {Threei} no, I get a cgnjack and cucumber

[11:58] {BillyD} I see your mood

[11:59] {Threei} then magoo comes with beer and Alaska king crab legs, and ruins harmony

[12:01] {Threei} he would probably be better convive if not for the habit of shooting in the window every time deer walks by

[12:01] {Threei} I go deaf at the end iof the day... and broke paying for all the broken glass

[12:02] {strider} I would have thought magoo hunts the same way he trades: just jump on their back and ride them till they drop dead.

[12:03] {nemo} are you talking about hunting or his affinity for sheep?

[12:03] {strider} I ain't going there.

[12:03] {Threei} ouch

[12:33] {Threei} pecking

[12:34] {BillyD} our bidder left

[12:38] {Threei} Fed's Bernanke: There is some way to go before we can be sure the US economic recovery is self sustaining

[12:38] {Threei} - Sees modest growth in 2010, enough to lower unemployment rate.

[12:38] {Threei} - Household spending is unlikely to grow rapidly

[12:38] {Threei} - US economy still facing "significant headwinds," headwinds for growth in clude tight credit and the weak job market.

[12:38] {Threei} - Inflation may decrease further from current level. Long-term inflation appears stable.

[12:38] {Threei} - Raising interest rates on reserves held at the Fed will be an important tool for tightening policy.

[12:38] {Threei} - Fed funds rate can rise even with a large Fed balance sheet

[12:38] {Threei} - Regional Fed structure gave policymakers perspective on main street during crisis.

[12:39] {Threei} looks like market wanted to hear anything but "we start tightening rates now"

[12:39] {Threei} I doubt however this will ignite sustainable rally

[13:54] {nemo} that 80.60 level it peaked at I had as support/resistance

[13:54] {Threei} US Pres Obama: Some TARP capital may be allocated towards deficit reductions; a job plan

[14:09] {nemo} both

[14:12] {Threei} QQQQ for nasdaq stocks, spy or DJI for Dow stocks

[14:12] {nemo} fas or iyf for financials

[14:19] {Les} looking to short fcx at top of range

[14:19] {Les} hit .12, big histogram bar, and promptly reversed.

[14:19] {Les} will use that more often for these tighter ranges

[14:21] {fernp} if breaks BBY, your stop is under 44 or 43.95? bounced off .95 a couple of times

[14:21] {Threei} really want it to hold 44 firmly finally

[14:21] {Threei} se we could use it

[14:24] {fernp} QQQQ looks short here .... QID long?

[14:26] {Threei} don't want to chase...

[14:26] {Threei} let's see if we get snapback

[14:32] {BillyD} hard to get in this move

[14:33] {BillyD} CAT b/dn if continuation

[14:34] {Threei} here is QID pullback, let's see if it gives us something close to .70

[14:38] {Threei} not much of a pullback eh

[14:38] {BillyD} nvda OFF 16?

[14:38] {dino} watching fgxi, mon, pru, trgt, meli

[14:42] {nemo} volume increasng a bit, might be a long

[14:44] {nemo} rimm .07 risk either way

[14:45] {Threei} if you went for aggressive FCX short, you are golden; if for regular, not too shabby either

[14:48] {Threei} one more leg down comes it looks like

[14:50] {Threei} .75 short FCX

[14:50] {Threei} if holding under .85 - .90

[14:51] {Threei} dies FCX

[14:51] {Threei} -s

[14:54] {nemo} out75

[14:54] {Threei} ok, this second one is not the best idea

[14:54] {Threei} getting a bit nervous

[14:55] {Threei} and I like them to die calmly

[14:55] {nemo} it's market bounce time, dude

[14:55] {Threei} no way

[14:55] {Threei} this aggression will not stand

[14:55] {larisa} i missed .75 call, sorry Billy for confusion. vad makes too many "running" comments for my one line brain :)

[14:56] {nemo} trade what you see, not what you want to believe.

[14:56] {fernp} no go

[14:56] {Threei} no

[14:57] {Threei} what, no comments on "this aggression will not stand" reference? right after "dude"?

[14:57] {nemo} thanks George

[14:57] {Les} ok will call it quits on that. much better day for me. less trading. disciplined use of stops. happy with this. night all.

[14:58] {Threei} take care Les

[14:58] {fernp} bye ese

[14:58] {dino} pru hl l .25

[14:58] {fernp} les

[14:58] {nemo} aig, feels like go

[14:59] {dino} gn les

[15:00] {Threei} Oct Consumer Credit -$3.5B v -$9.4Be

[15:01] {Threei} wow

[15:01] {Threei} White House Press Secretary: Obama stands by re-nomination of Bernanke for Fed Chairman

[15:01] {Threei} wny not... he does such a splendid job

[15:03] {Threei} (RU) Hearing JP Morgan downgrading Russia to Neutral (timing uncertain)

[15:03] {Threei} Cites potential for correction in energy and commodity markets.

[15:03] {Threei} - Note: Investors are overweight on Russian and Brazilian equities. The risk is a sharp reversal in this consensus trade.

[15:08] {magoo} read RIMM vad?

[15:09] {Threei} rather up...

[15:09] {ilana} HGSI

[15:09] {Threei} in that it's likely to follow thr market up, and less likely to follow it down

[15:10] {Threei} HGSI is interesting

[15:10] {Threei} if market helps

[15:10] {Threei} this .40 break looks tempting

[15:13] {dino} trgt hl l break of .00

[15:13] {nemo} ahhh...rorschach chart

[15:21] {dino} lol, rev shark, real$ "interesting that obama states how well our tarp plan has worked, when it was instituted prior to his taking office. i guess if it didn't work well, it would be george bush's plan

[15:22] {Threei} and it's still a big question about how it worked

[15:22] {Threei} but let's move on to the next "solution looking for a problem":

[15:22] {Threei} are we going to cut the trees now?

[15:22] {dino} ironically, the mortgages are all still on fre, fnm books

[15:23] {Threei} 'cause CO2 is a harmful substance starting today

[15:23] {dino} no 3i, we are going to sue you for exhaling

[15:23] {Threei} that's OK, my lawyer will argue that jury and judge breatje too

[15:23] {Threei} but trees, what about them?

[15:24] {Threei} remember protester who brough a potted tree to Reagan, with sign "cut me before I kill again"?

[15:24] {dino} trees eat co2

[15:24] {Threei} only in the day

[15:24] {Threei} in the night they do the opposite

[15:24] {Moose} that fickle

[15:24] {Moose} s

[15:25] {dino} hmmm, never knew that

[15:25] {Threei} it's actually very complicated process

[15:26] {Threei} non linear

[15:26] {Threei} depending on time of the day, tree age, annual seasion

[15:26] {dino} hate to see what would happen to met if it lowered 2010 guidance

[15:26] {Threei} kind, location

[15:26] {fernp} all breakdown are working on WFC except the one that we played this morning lol

[15:26] {Threei} simple claim that they create oxygen and eliminate C)2 is far from truth

[15:27] {Threei} didn't we took another pne later one?

[15:27] {fernp} me yes

[15:28] {fernp} and i've played this .35 break

[15:28] {dino} cfsg

[15:28] {Threei} actually fern

[15:28] {Threei} this is important observation

[15:29] {Threei} for quite a while we tried to get most of our plays in the morning

[15:29] {Threei} and seond part of the day was usually fruitless

[15:29] {Threei} it seems to be changing

[15:29] {fernp} i know

[15:29] {Threei} not a first day today as we get nice steady selloff closer to ed

[15:29] {fernp} lately we are ending sessions with selloff

[15:29] {Threei} and while morning has a bit too much volatility

[15:30] {Threei} this selling starts looking like useable pattern

[15:32] {dino} not yet 3i

[15:32] {Threei} "In general, trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. Trees and other plants are this planet's main source of oxygen. trees at night give off carbon dioxide. Besides oxygen, carbon dioxide is about all a tree can give off in any great quantity.

[15:32] {Threei} http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_trees_give_off_Carbon_Dioxide

[15:32] {dino} and leaves, lol

[15:33] {Threei} During the daylight hours, plants produce oxygen. At night, they consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

[15:33] {Threei} there

[15:33] {Threei} let's cut them all

[15:33] {Threei} they are murderers

[15:33] {dino} out pru .49, +.24

[15:33] {Threei} leaves, dino... those release CO2 when decompose

[15:33] {Raven} {--------- cut and split 2 cords of firewood this summer

[15:34] {Threei} good job saving the planet Raven

[15:34] {Raven} thx

[15:34] {dino} i switched to natural gas, tired of the firewood work

[15:34] {Raven} I have nat gas

[15:34] {Threei} no one comments on that

[15:35] {Raven} super efficient wood burner heats whole house

[15:35] {Threei} this is fair warning

[15:35] {BillyD} lol

[15:35] {Raven} and splitting is good exercise ... except for my black right toenail

[15:36] {nemo} steel toe shoes

[15:36] {Raven} I have them now :)

[15:42] {Threei} ***Reminder: On 12/6 the FT reported that Citi was trying to convince US officials to allow it to repay $20B of its TARP funds

[15:43] {Threei} this reads like something surreal

[15:44] {dino} hl l trgt .00, stop lod

[15:57] {Threei} many say"nah, life is too short"

[15:58] {strider} My wife told me the other day that I had found my perfect social situation.

Dec 04 2009

That was one nice day for shorting. FCX, AIG, WFC , CAT, plus some scalps on a long side for bounces - much easier day than what we had over last month or so.

Session Time: Fri Dec 04 00:00:01 2009

[08:16] {nemo} ahhhh....Raven....

[08:20] {Raven} ahhh ... yes

[08:22] {nemo} ahhhh...can you provide some adult supervision here...I noticed the group missed a great short on cat, we just can't have that.

[08:23] {nemo} Les...where were you yesterday?

[08:24] {Raven} not my job

[08:24] {Les} that scares me that you can track my movements here Nemo

[08:24] {nemo} I used to work in intelligence

[08:24] {Les} don't say army intelligence

[08:24] {Raven} oxymoron?

[08:24] {Les} then Ill call you an oxymoron

[08:24] {nemo} as you may have noticed...I was just going to say that raven

[08:24] {Les} like Raven

[08:25] {Raven} lol

[08:25] {nemo} damn, you guys got to it before I did

[08:25] {Les} stressed out yesterday

[08:25] {Raven} perhaps we should start over

[08:25] {Les} you know how I am licked

[08:25] {nemo} which reminds me...I mentioned the whole Disgruntled Postal-Worker Fantasy List thingy?

[08:25] {Raven} good morning

[08:25] {nemo} How some names are in pen...some in pencil?

[08:25] {strider} cover short BAC +.10

[08:25] {Les} i am in pen

[08:26] {nemo} nahhh

[08:26] {Les} or so i believe

[08:26] {nemo} not even on the list les

[08:26] {nemo} hahh...your listless

[08:26] {nemo} which, is not a bad thing

[08:26] {Raven} sigh

[08:26] {Les} :(

[08:26] {nemo} you covered strider?

[08:26] {nemo} watch fcx. 83.65 important level

[08:27] {Les} not important enough to be targeted by a maniac. thats depressing

[08:27] {nemo} too far away les...Raven, he's another story

06[08:27] * strider slaps strider around a bit with a large bowl of hasty pudding

[08:27] {nemo} you at harvard strider?

[08:27] {Raven} __{{{}

[08:27] {nemo} oh no, Ravenspeak

[08:28] {strider} no, just a case of premature evacuation on BAC

[08:28] {Les} Nemo, is market depth, w hich is what i use at IB, same as level 2?

[08:29] {strider} yes, Les.

[08:29] {nemo} it incorporates LII and time&sales in one view with cumulative volume at each level, which I think is better

[08:29] {nemo} hey les, how do you post graphics here for people to view?

[08:30] {nemo} jobs must have been good

[08:30] {BillyD} GM

[08:30] {Les} http://www.wisdom-soft.com/sh/sh_free.htm

[08:31] {Les} ah no I found something else on my IB software.

[08:31] {Les} http://up.widget.mibbit.com/up/OU8HJvCG.gif

[08:32] {Les} ah no, its not this

[08:32] {nemo} yes, that's good

[08:32] {Les} no wait a minute

[08:32] {Les} http://up.widget.mibbit.com/up/WaW3uGgu.gif

[08:33] {Les} the right screen

[08:33] {Les} that level 2?

[08:33] {nemo} yes, and more

[08:33] {Les} the left window is for one click trading like laser

[08:34] {Les} so are you guys trading with T&S AND level 2 on screen?

[08:34] {nemo} LII is the bid/ask and prices and the lots at those prices

[08:34] {nemo} what's nice is you have a histogram showing accumulation at each level which helps identify support and resistance

[08:35] {nemo} one thing that would be nice was if there was a numeric tally in the histogram of shares traded at that level

[08:35] {Les} ok, noticed it but never used it

[08:36] {nemo} what you can see there and a chart would confirm, that the 111.40 level is important

[08:37] {Les} picked up vad's scalping course this week, so looking more into software I have

[08:38] {Threei} US) NOV UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 10.0% V 10.2%E

[08:38] {Threei} - No revisions

[08:38] {Threei} ***note: the early 1980's unemployment rate peaked in Dec 1982 at 10.8%

[08:40] {Les} hi vad. lot more machines and useless paper pushing jobs invented since 1980

[08:42] {Les} thats rather disturbing thought

[08:42] {Les} 1980's - height of cold war

[08:42] {Les} massive military expenditure/manufacturing

[08:43] {Les} not same mix of sector related economic GDP now

[08:47] {strider} BAC spike

[08:47] {Threei} what isn't

[08:47] {strider} just in last minute

[08:48] {strider} trading .45 above new offering.

[08:48] {Threei} still in the red

[08:48] {Threei} everything else is green

[08:49] {Threei} BAC S&P affirms ratings; raises preferred stock rating (15.76, 0.00, 0.00%)

[08:51] {strider} wow BAC

[08:51] {nemo} yeah...I was tempted @ .35

[08:53] {Les} wow. gold cliff diving

[08:54] {nemo} yeah, this implies strengthening US economy...gag...so $ up too

[08:54] {Les} Vad had to go and mention bubble and gold in the same breath yesterday

[08:54] {Threei} lol

[08:54] {Threei} but you know Les... "this time it's different"

[08:55] {Threei} goldbugs will cite all kinds of reasons why this is not a buble,

[08:55] {Moose} gm all

[08:55] {Threei} the only problem is: each bubble had such "reasons"

[08:55] {Threei} moose :)

[08:56] {nemo} do you have a squirrel friend, Moose?

[08:56] {BillyD} lol

[08:56] {Moose} :D

[08:56] {Les} so you think it is same scammers selling gold like they sold housing etc?

[08:56] {nemo} cycles Les

[08:57] {Threei} no les

[08:57] {Threei} I don't view any bubble as scam

[08:57] {strider} short BAC .62 stop .80

[08:57] {Threei} scammers is a ;part of any bubble

[08:57] {Threei} but only because bubbles create scam-inducing environment

[08:58] {nemo} watch for bounce at .55 strider

[08:58] {Les} k

[08:58] {nemo} Les thinks I'm a maniac, Vad

[08:58] {Threei} same way as housing bubble created a lot of oppportunities for scammers,

[08:58] {BillyD} lol, you aren't

[08:58] {strider} thx

[08:58] {Threei} and they moved in of colurse

[08:59] {Threei} but did they create bubble?

[08:59] {strider} stop to .70

[09:00] {nemo} nice work early though strider, got out with profit before the explosion

[09:00] {BillyD} Vad, any thought s on selling this gap up

[09:01] {nemo} wow $ really up

[09:01] {Threei} thoughts? me? I am flattered

[09:01] {nemo} Billy wasn't thinking

[09:01] {strider} sounds kind of insulting to me.

[09:01] {BillyD} my bad

[09:02] {nemo} funny you should say that strider, had a teacher, whenever he thought your answer was idiotic, he'd say, "that's a sophisticated answer."

[09:02] {Threei} strider, I always assume the best intention is people (while reloading the gun)

[09:03] {Threei} billy... I'd put it this way:

[09:03] {nemo} strider...I think we were separated at birth (which was a good thing for you)

[09:03] {Threei} I expect selloff at some point,

[09:03] {Threei} I have no means to determine the timing for now,

[09:03] {strider} yeah, to selloff

[09:03] {strider} no to separation at birth.

[09:03] {nemo} hehehehe

[09:03] {Threei} Isuspect the early shorters will be chewed up and spit out,

[09:04] {Threei} and I'd rather miss a short than be too early

[09:04] {BillyD} agree, thx.....

[09:04] {nemo} yeah, perfect spot for a bear trap

[09:05] {nemo} having said that, strider's bac short looking beter

[09:05] {Threei} sao, this is kind of day where I'd avoid having any expectations,

[09:05] {Threei} and instead simply go with setup by setup, minute by minute approach

[09:05] {Threei} take them as they come,

[09:05] {fernp} Good morning everybody

[09:05] {Threei} let them work or get stopped,

[09:05] {Threei} fern :)

[09:05] {BillyD} hi fern

[09:27] {nemo} strider, me being the cautious fellow, I'm not sure I'd want to ride that short into the open

[09:27] {Threei} this kind of massive action prevents fiunding single best candidate

[09:28] {BillyD} WFC for possible short idea here off 27

[09:28] {strider} out WFC +.03....don't want to hold through open.

[09:28] {ese} agreed

[09:28] {Threei} good idea strider

[09:29] {Threei} opening action is likely to be furious

[09:29] {ese} ya st......good plan

[09:29] {Threei} better let the dust settle than get caught on a wrong side

[09:29] {Threei} or right side but too fast to benefit

[09:29] {strider} which means that data will likely lag.

[09:29] {dino} gm all

[12:47] {fernp} lol

[12:47] {Moose} nice

[12:47] {Threei} I think it's enough that majority of my trades are public... not many traders can say that, very few would tolerate that

[12:47] {BillyD} very funny

[12:47] {Threei} at least let me keep the monetary part to myself

[12:47] {Les} FCX becoming a shrot?

[12:48] {Les} rather large stop

[12:48] {dino} ty

[12:49] {Les} ok, so tell me Vad what is small shares for beginner like myself

[12:49] {ese} well we almost have yer basic double bottom with fitb here......and yer got yer choices of goin long errrrr goin long

[12:49] {Threei} I'd ratherhunt for FCX reestablishing long

[12:49] {dino} les my sm is 300-400

[12:49] {Les} ok so round of 500

[12:49] {Threei} that's easy Les

[12:49] {Threei} decsribed very detailed in MPP

[12:49] {dino} hl=500, fl=1k, size = 2k+

[12:50] {Threei} define your noirmal size using the procedure decribed in it

[12:50] {Threei} coming froma ccount size and max loss assigned to each trade

[12:50] {Threei} then consider half lot as, umm, 1/2 of that

[12:50] {Threei} and small shares as 1/4 - 1/3

[12:50] {Les} ok. paper account is huge but not realistic for future real trading

[12:51] {Threei} that I don't understand at all

[12:51] {Threei} what is te point in paper trading something drastically different from real one?

[12:51] {Threei} read the rules of papertrading

[12:51] {dino} untrusting, kss out .05, +.30

[12:52] {Threei} plus there is a paper trading article on a blog

[12:53] {Les} cause I can't relate to the small steady gains you describe in your book

[12:53] {Les} I should but I cant

[12:53] {Threei} I don't understand

[12:53] {Threei} explain pls

[12:54] {Les} paper account is 1 million. have been trading capital proportionally to this account size

[12:54] {Les} is not realistic for future trading however

[12:55] {Les} am reconfiguring default trade sizes now

[12:55] {Les} thinking like an amateur...

[12:56] {Threei} http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/articles/general_articles/paper-trading/?r

[13:43] {Threei} interestingly enough it doesn't kill market much

[13:46] {Les} wondering if that can change on a moments notice

[13:48] {Les} thanks for paper trade article

[13:48] {Les} trading size my only fault now

[13:48] {Threei} sure

[13:48] {Les} at least I'm not lying to myself about fills

[13:48] {Threei} make sure you reread the part in MPP devoted to how papertrade in right way

[13:48] {Les} k

[13:48] {Threei} so it's real learning tool and not just self-indulgence

[13:52] {Les} but what circumstances would I use market order?

[13:52] {Les} when there is meltdown?

[13:52] {Threei} I use it only in thick stocks

[13:52] {Threei} where there is no serious slippage risk

[13:53] {dino} hardly ever used

[13:56] {Threei} .short fcx .15 if stays under .30

[13:56] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .15 if stays under .30

[14:00] {Les} jumpy

[14:02] {Moose} cyas later... gotta go

[14:02] {Threei} take care moose, see you monday

[14:10] {Threei} hmm?

[14:10] {dino} out dmnd .74, +.29 took hours

[14:11] {Les} market and fcx getting close to b/d, or double bottom?

[14:11] {Threei} I've no idea

[14:11] {Threei} you are seeking predictions

[14:11] {Les} no

[14:11] {Threei} I am not in that business

[14:11] {Les} I want to take fcx if market helps

[14:12] {Threei} so look for setup

[14:12] {Threei} why guess?

[14:12] {Les} nice to know you cannot predict either/or

[14:12] {magoo} RMBS

[14:12] {magoo} held well and pop

[14:15] {BillyD} AIG, another one if breaks .60

[14:16] {BillyD} or maybe aggressive .70

[14:17] {BillyD} 29.57 yesterday's low

[14:18] {dino} 2:20 approaching, has been contra indicator lately

[14:22] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX 79 break

[14:22] {Threei} if stays under .15

[14:26] {magoo} bounce time imo

[14:26] {Threei} looks ,ike

[14:26] {nemo} Haroo...back from a liquid lunch

[14:26] {magoo} rmbs moves

[14:27] {Les} you drank smoothies Nemo?

[14:27] {nemo} Long Island Ice Tea's

[14:27] {BillyD} strong stuff

[14:27] {nemo} Yeah, I'd forgotten

[14:28] {dino} good stuff

[14:28] {dino} great on a hot day

[14:29] {nemo} great any day

[14:29] {dino} they have a tea flavored vodka that mises great w/lemonade

[14:29] {dino} mixes

[14:29] {nemo} freudian economic slip

[14:30] {dino} lol

[14:30] {Les} out .40 fcx +.10

[14:30] {nemo} got that, huh?

[14:30] {dino} kmgb

[14:30] {magoo} kgb?

[14:30] {dino} gj les

[14:30] {nemo} missed another nice short in fcx I see

[14:31] {dino} what size?

[14:31] {nemo} what size what?

[14:31] {magoo} i ht it long .10 cent

[14:31] {dino} make sure dimes make sense

[14:31] {Les} +.12. hmmm easier done with only 50 shares.

[14:31] {dino} les on the .10

[14:32] {Les} don't have nerve wracking hundreds in potential losses

[14:32] {dino} uh oh, 50 shares will cost you $ on .10

[14:32] {Les} most of the profit

[14:32] {Les} but I just want the strategy squared away

[14:33] {dino} w/respect, i am confused, how dfo you make money on 50 shares at +.10 to .12?

[14:33] {dino} unrealistic even paper trading

[14:33] {Les} not .10 - .12

[14:33] {Les} out +.12

[14:34] {dino} 6 bucks?

[14:34] {Threei} which is $5?

[14:34] {Les} dunno, have to work out with Vad's books what proportion of 25G that I'll eventually start trading with is acceptable risk

[14:34] {Les} but if I am more comfortable with setups on paper

[14:34] {magoo} i guess its better tan an hour working the drive thru window

[14:34] {Les} lol

[14:35] {dino} commissions will eat 50 shares alive unless you get monster moves

[14:35] {Threei} well, whatever you do - training wheels is training wheels but trading for 5 bucks perofit makes no sense

[14:35] {BillyD} good pt magoo

[14:35] {Les} I will probably take bigger risk with real £

[14:35] {Les} $

[14:35] {magoo} shares doesnbt matter, its levels

[14:35] {Les} levels?

[14:36] {nemo} Les...just decide how much you're willing to lose on a trade, and divide it by the stop, that'll tell you how many shares to trade

[14:36] {magoo} u take break of .50 up..it must be stopped loss .35

[14:36] {magoo} u exit it .90 area

[14:36] {dino} if not sure, try paper trading 200 shares, its only paper. but imo you still need big move. my sm size trades (300-400) i don't even enter unless I see potential of .40 on them

[14:36] {magoo} can be 1 share or 10,000

[14:37] {magoo} im paper ttading

[14:37] {dino} nemo is correct imo. thats what i do. max loss =250, ave, loss 135, etc

[14:37] {magoo} only its us gov't issued paper

[14:37] {Les} sure. Will be a while before I trade for real. am beginning to differentiate between surer setups and riskier situations

[14:37] {dino} toilet paper

[14:37] {nemo} 2 ply or 4 ply mags?

[14:37] {magoo} 4

[14:37] {nemo} hehehehehehe

[14:37] {Les} that will permit me to modify risk in future

[14:38] {magoo} finger kept poking thru 2 ply ...lol yulk

[14:38] {BillyD} right Les, why take the FCX at .30 only for +.10 when risk was -}30 stop

[14:38] {nemo} best piece you ever had

[14:38] {dino} riskier=smaller size, need bigger move. vads' type=larger size smaller moves

[14:38] {Les} that is true

[14:39] {Les} actually too much wine now I think. thought I had .15 stop

[14:39] {nemo} at that support/resistance point in fcx

[14:40] {dino} bd is correct les, risk/reward min. 1:1; so your .30 stop must get you .30 in profit, unless market changes, then you change by tightening

[14:40] {Les} so acknowledging that I think I'll quit now. back to the books again this weekend. ciao everyone

[14:40] {Les} sure dino, don't know why I took .10 stop

[14:40] {BillyD} have a good one Les

[14:41] {dino} just trying to help, take care les

[14:41] {Les} yeh no problem

[14:41] {dino} :)

[14:41] {Les} time to stop listening to you guys, listen to bottle now

[14:41] {nemo} dino dcc

[14:41] {BillyD} lol

[14:43] {larisa} people removing dead branches from my trees. you blink - half of the tree is gone. Running in and out like crazy giving instructions. I think they hate me :)

[14:44] {larisa} they are as fast as traders.. vzhik vzhik.. nothing you can do but cry :)

[14:45] {Threei} ok forget sling... rifle

[14:45] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .40 break

[14:45] {Threei} if stays above .30

[14:45] {magoo} innnnnnnnnn

[14:48] {Threei} no go

[14:48] {magoo} drat

[14:49] {dino} cagc spike

[14:49] {Threei} was good setup

[14:52] {BillyD} Vad, did you see .50 as not enough resistance to matter on FCXresistance

[14:53] {Threei} it pulled back from .80s under .40

[14:53] {Threei} stalled, market started upticking toward resistance

[14:53] {Threei} was perfect setup for bounce

[14:53] {BillyD} mkt turned on us

[14:53] {Threei} yes

[14:54] {Threei} just didn't work, that's all

[14:54] {Threei} there was nothing wrong with the play

[14:54] {BillyD} just clarifying

[14:56] {nemo} aig interesting

[14:56] {BillyD} long or short nemo

[14:56] {BillyD} I tend more to short

[14:56] {nemo} not sure yet. .70 obviously important...market goes down and it breaks .70 will probably go through .60

[14:56] {dino} ahh the dark side

[14:57] {dino} mkt wants up gut says

[14:57] {patience} i'm with you dino

[14:57] {patience} so to speak

[14:57] {dino} ;)

[14:58] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bullard: Inflation will not become a risk for another two to five years, risk from inflation depends on how quickly the Fed unwinds its balance sheet

[14:58] {Threei} ***Reminder: On 12/3, Bullard said the medium term (2 to 4 years) risk is for inflation due to the Fed's large balance sheet.

[14:58] {dino} rino hl l .45

[14:58] {Threei} US Treasury SEc Geithner: High chance unemployment will be under 10% within a year

[14:58] {Threei} doh

[14:59] {dino} jawboning

[14:59] {Threei} look at this

[14:59] {Threei} - Sees $175B worth of bank repayment of TARP by end of 2010

[14:59] {Threei} - notes specifically that Goldman would not have survived had it not been for Govt support; wrong in assumption they did not need assistance

[15:00] {nemo} interesting how flat markets are with $ up so much

[15:01] {Threei} I find this last comment by him laughable in the xtreme

[15:02] {nemo} yeah, they hold his leash

[15:02] {Threei} no

[15:02] {Threei} he tries to break it

[15:02] {dino} he should not have suvived. him and his regulators failed to regulate. the laws were already on the books

[15:02] {Threei} and start serving other owner

[15:02] {nemo} he's gonna' get bitch=slapped

[15:03] {Threei} this is attempt to continue demonizing wall street in order to distract from the washnington role in the debacle

[15:03] {Threei} and picture themselves as saviours

[15:04] {dino} it all started w/clinton and frank, ease requirments on mortgages

[15:04] {Threei} if any bank could survive at all it was GS

[15:04] {Threei} least exposure to subprime, least leverage of them all

[15:04] {dino} i agree 3i

[15:04] {Threei} mosr reserves

[15:04] {Threei} most powerful trading division

[15:04] {dino} and they were net short going in

[15:04] {Threei} right

[15:05] {nemo} but what might have broken them was the insolvency of the counterparties on the other side of the trade

[15:06] {dino} counter-party perhaps.

[15:06] {Threei} yes, and that's where washington comes in the picture:

[15:06] {nemo} yes

[15:06] {Threei} it was goverment's guarantees

[15:06] {dino} but realistically fnm, fre were the source of the problem

[15:06] {Threei} that made FE/FNM/AIG mechanics possible

[15:06] {dino} barney's "i control them"

[15:06] {Threei} exactly

[15:07] {Threei} so, when this triade started falling apart

[15:07] {dino} and they are at it again

[15:07] {Threei} government simply fulfilled its own obligations

[15:07] {magoo} FCX rude

[15:07] {Threei} that were at the root of the problem

[15:07] {Threei} so logical chain is this:

[15:07] {Threei} if goverment never gave those guarantees,

[15:08] {Threei} FRE/FNM/AIG would not gave theirs,

[15:08] {Threei} banks would not overleverage their bets

[15:08] {Threei} and there wouldn't be any crisis.

[15:08] {Threei} Crisis came - givt found itself called on its guarantees

[15:09] {Threei} so, all this "we saved you" is a one big fat lie

[15:09] {Threei} you killed them first,

[15:09] {dino} and the cycle starts again, imo

[15:09] {Threei} (well, to be fair their were willing participants)

[15:09] {nemo} it's not there yet, but cat might be setting up short

[15:10] {dino} they let too many buy houses w/no skin in the game, imo thats where it all started

[15:10] {Threei} sure

[15:10] {Threei} but that was an otcome

[15:10] {Threei} outcome

[15:10] {Threei} reason was banks' willingness to lend to those who had no skin

[15:10] {nemo} started as social engineering to allow poorer people buy houses, but everyone could qualify

[15:10] {Threei} in the game

[15:11] {Threei} and banks wrre willing because they had those guarantees and felt safe

[15:11] {dino} why not if banks can sell them off

[15:11] {dino} fees baby, fees

[15:11] {Threei} yup

[15:11] {Threei} now they say banks didn't manage their risk

[15:11] {nemo} funny...up here in our area there was a large Dominican presence. Many had been here since the early 90's. They took out the ninja mortgages, and retired back home, leaving the properties

[15:11] {Threei} sure - why would they if you yourelf told them you stand behind insurance

[15:13] {dino} in my area, either vacation homes or people that took home equity above mortgage

[15:19] {nemo} volumes really seem to be drying up

[15:20] {magoo} fcx over the 200

[15:21] {nemo} ohyeah

[15:26] {Raven} picture compliments of the Raven !!

[15:27] {dino} lol

[08:57] {strider} DRYS looks good this morning.

06[08:58] * Threei slaps strider around a bit with a large roll of cash

[08:58] {strider} Well, I see who has a large roll of cash to play recklessly with.

[08:58] {Threei} lol

[08:59] {Threei} well, at least my NANO overnight is a consolation

[09:01] {strider} Deutsche Bank is positive on DryShips' exposure to the drillship charter environment and thinks the company's cash flow potential is being undervalued at current levels. Shares were initiated with a Buy rating and $10 target...

[09:01] {nemo} so sell

[09:01] {Threei} EU) ECB's Trichet: "absolutely no signal" can be inferred on benchmark rate from decision to keep 12 month repo at 1%; notes Bernanke's comments on US with utmost interest

[09:01] {Threei} - Decision on rates was unaimous, decision to phase out measures taken by consensus

[09:01] {Threei} - Looked at all possibilites on repo operations

[09:03] {fernp} Good morning everybody

[09:07] {Threei} SPNC Granted FDA 510(k) clearance VisiSheath

[09:08] {Threei} Spectranetics Corp Granted FDA 510(k) clearance VisiSheath

[09:08] {Threei} - The VisiSheath Dilator Sheath may be used alone as an independent sheath for dilating tissue surrounding cardiac leads, or as an enhanced outer support sheath in conjunction with compatible inner sheaths such as Spectranetics Laser Sheath (SLS II), a laser-based system for removing problematic pacing and defibrillator leads.

[09:08] {Threei} - The newly FDA-cleared VisiSheath Dilator Sheath device will complement the laser-based system as an outer support sheath. Additionally, it will offer a non-laser option to mechanically dilate scar tissue for physicians who do not use laser assistance to manage all of their patients with lead complications.

[09:08] {Threei} let's see ese doing the victory dance

[10:22] {Threei} - Believes joblessness may stay high even while growth improves.

[10:43] {Threei} strider, re: mortgage payment... one of famous russian sayings in loose translation:

[10:43] {Threei} Blessed be the believer

[10:43] {strider} long WFC .43, stop lod

[10:43] {nemo} mon collapsed

[10:44] {dino} 80.80 gap on it

[10:46] {strider} thank you.

[10:46] {Threei} :)

[10:46] {strider} I purshate that

[10:46] {Threei} on serious note, if it comes to .60 I would start looking

[10:46] {ese} billy ...your short Gern? I'm long...... looks like we got some GERN warfare going on yuk yuk yuk

[10:48] {strider} gern warfare...omg

[10:48] {BillyD} GERn becomes hateable again

[10:48] {Threei} USD/CAD CAD weakness partially attributed to chatter of a bearish think-tank report

[10:48] {Threei} god bless that think tank

[10:48] {dino} nke hl l .99, stop lod

[10:48] {Threei} BAC Fed's Bernanke comments that its a "good thing" that BoA is paying back the TARP; notes most of the problems during the financial crisis were outside of the bank holding companie

[10:49] {fernp} WFC

[10:49] {nemo} 1/2 out de

[10:49] {Threei} couple moves between .60 and .70,

[10:49] {ese} tks

[10:49] {Threei} not going over .70 and losing .60 for a trigger

[10:50] {Threei} CNBC reports White House's Gibbs says it is incorrect to state that it expects unemployment to rise tomorrow

[10:50] {Threei} - CNBC reports the White House has not seen the numbers in advance

[10:50] {fernp} valid now?

[10:51] {dino} like a bunch of school kids, he said she said

[10:51] {Threei} hard to tell fern...

[10:51] {Threei} I'd prefer a bit more pronounced staying above .60 prior to break

[10:51] {Threei} this is unclear

[10:51] {fernp} let's wait a bit more

[10:55] {dino} out ksszoll drop

[10:55] {Threei} wow... DE worked finally for you guys

[11:04] {nemo} w low of .66 how do you get .47 dino?

[11:05] {fernp} DRYS wouldn't have worked. That's is a good call too, Vad :-)

[11:05] {dino} my usual of .25-.35

[11:05] {Threei} yeah, sometimes they just don't give out right vibe

[11:06] {Threei} generally I hate to intrude into natural process and use discretion in what should be decided by market

[11:06] {dino} plus nemo, hl, so stop is automatically wider. fl would be lod

[11:06] {Threei} this was one of rare exceptions

[11:06] {nemo} ty dino

[11:06] {fernp} yeah, this time worked fine :)

[11:10] {ese} that thing trades with huge spreads dino......crazy

[11:10] {nemo} common equivalent...wtf is that?

[11:10] {Threei} Fed's Bernanke: Fed will not monetize the debt; US cannot continue to run high deficits; will maintain strong commitment to price stability; thinking a lot about exit strategy

[11:10] {Threei} - says US deficit needs to be in 2-3% of GDP range over time

[11:10] {Threei} - notes that the Fed may not be able to halt the increse in real interest rates if the deficits remain high; debt to GDP ratio cannot move higher indefinitely and must come down

[11:10] {Threei} - claims that some deficits are not permanent, but others may become so if entitlement spending is not addressed

[11:10] {nemo} yeah, ese, dino's kinda' stock

[11:15] {Threei} yes

[11:15] {fernp} out

[11:15] {dino} mee court case or something

[11:17] {Threei} US House Speaker Pelosi: Unused TARP capital will be used to pay for job package

[11:17] {Threei} - Note: This option was hinted to earlier as among the options for TARP monies

[11:17] {Threei} what job package...

[11:17] {Moose} geeze

[11:17] {Moose} :/

[11:18] {dino} the ones at gm, lol

[11:19] {Threei} this gang won't quit until they destroy everything there is to destroy

[11:19] {ese} dino or anyone.....do you think rimm is gonna cover that gap down to 49

[11:19] {BillyD} needs to break 55 first imo ese

[11:20] {ese} for sure

[11:20] {BillyD} then I could tell for SURE.....lol

[11:20] {BillyD} I wish

[11:20] {ese} lol yup

[11:21] {dino} yes, by march

[11:21] {ese} hmmmmm ok i'll bite.......why then

[11:21] {fernp} WFC interesting if losses .40

[11:22] {nemo} cat could be shaping up short here

[11:22] {dino} imo, the economy sucksv right now. they are cheering 490k job losses? remember when we used to add jobs and cheer, not lose and cheer. who can buy anything. but this is just what i see

[11:23] {dino} poconos is tight

[11:23] {ese} better reason than i have........

[11:24] {dino} what is yours?

[11:24] {dino} i suppose it could be as simple as why not?

[11:25] {ese} well maybe not better different........

[11:25] {ese} will type it out

[11:26] {ese} i kinda see this as a different industrial revolution for you all.......instead of it being about machines.....it's about intelectual property and high tech....

[11:26] {ese} work force has to shift....meaning re education

[11:26] {Threei} (IS) Bank of Israel's Fischer: For a prosperous global recovery the USD must weaken (related USD/ILS )

[11:27] {Threei} hmmm... the rest of the world think otherwise, Fischer

[11:27] {ese} those same jobs that have been lost ain't in my opionion coming back

[11:28] {ese} but thats doesn't mean your economy is going to suffer......which it looks like it is not.......jobs arne' there for sure but companies are being profitable

[11:29] {ese} theses a shift going on..........imo.......

[11:29] {Threei} what to do with millins who have no job anymore?

[11:29] {Threei} millions

[11:29] {dino} no jpbs=mtg defaults=welfare increases=higher taxes=,=,=. but what will people do. govt(democrats) wants perpetual handouts. i am a supply-sider. cut taxes and get out of the way

[11:29] {Threei} they have to eat

[11:30] {Threei} they lose homes

[11:30] {fernp} WFC breakingdown

[11:30] {ese} Andy Kesslers book...Rinning With The Bulls....is very detailed on this topic and so far what he's predicted is coming to fruition

[11:30] {Threei} their spending used to support a lot of businesses

[11:31] {ese} can't do anything with them vad.....they have to re educate themselves

[11:31] {ese} you can try and support them until they do

[11:31] {BillyD} out 1/2 somx +.08

[11:31] {dino} there is a shift, but our clowns don't get it. they want people depending on the govt. that way they keep there jobs. even this last election was won that way, the cities (lots of welfare) voted obama, everywhere else was mccain

[11:32] {Threei} reeducate to do what? no field is hiring

[11:32] {Threei} and there is a reasonable age limit to total change of profession

[11:32] {nemo} this whole decade was driven by debt

[11:32] {dino} so is atlas shrugged ese. at some point the destroyer will start showing up.

[11:32] {nemo} 2012

[11:32] {Moose} { John Gault

[11:33] {ese} well........we made it through the industrial revolution......something similar should happen here......what that is i don't know

[11:33] {dino} indeed moose

[11:33] {nemo} that was a huge boost in productivity ese

[11:33] {nemo} What's always interested me is cycles.

[11:33] {nemo} You cannot expand and grow forever

[11:33] {ese} this is one for sure

[11:33] {dino} same thing happened in 70s. taxes too high, wealthy stopped. until reagan came along and get them excited about making money again

[11:34] {ese} cycle that is

[11:34] {nemo} 70's was because of Vietnam and gold default

[11:34] {nemo} huge debt and shift completely to fiat

[11:34] {dino} all the dems talk about is hitting the rich. the rich will walk away. be careful for what you wish

[11:35] {dino} fact is lower taxes increases tax receipts

[11:35] {nemo} jeez dino...remember when I mentioned mon collapse...look at it now...oops

[11:36] {fernp} out WFC +.10

[11:36] {Threei} good one fern

[11:36] {dino} ok, back to work

[11:36] {dino} gj fern

[11:37] {fernp} i'm flat for the day Vad. I need one of your super calls and I will sing for you happy birthday lol

[11:38] {Threei} then I have to ask: do you sing well?

[11:38] {fernp} nope

[11:38] {Threei} because if you sing like I do, I better don't hear that {G}

[11:38] {Threei} wow

[11:38] {Threei} what just happened

[11:39] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM 59 break

[11:39] {dino} nke stopped -.31

[11:40] {Threei} stop above .15

[11:40] {Threei} for hard core scalpers .10

[11:42] {nemo} rimm runs into the 200 ma around .15

[11:42] {BillyD} My entries are too early today

[11:44] {nemo} fcx might be a short if it holds under .70

[11:44] {BillyD} out rest SOMX up tp +.11

[11:45] {nemo} I mean mon

[11:45] {dino} gj

[11:45] {BillyD} ty

[11:45] {dino} my exits are late, had .20 in nke, rino, and wag, didn't take them

[11:45] {Threei} RIMM is likely to trigger now

[11:45] {Threei} won't be a scalp for me

[11:46] {ese} s rimm .00

[11:46] {Threei} still holding support...

[11:46] {Threei} why not wait for break

[11:47] {ese} yup

[11:47] {ese} agressive entry

[11:47] {BillyD} yeah, it got me earlier with early entry

[11:47] {Threei} aggressive entry closer to resistance (in case of short) gives you tighter stop and better profit potential

[11:48] {ese} ya am thinking that right now

[11:48] {Threei} entry right near the trigger doesn't... while carries the shortcomings of aggressive entry,

[11:48] {BillyD} we missed SQNM

[11:48] {Threei} i.e., less odds of working

[11:48] {Threei} ugh

[11:49] {ese} am totally agreeing with you

[11:49] {Threei} Fed Chairman Bernanke: It is imperative that Congress develope a solution to the "too big to fail" issue

[11:49] {Threei} what solution... apply anti-monopoly law, let them fail

[11:50] {Threei} Fed extended support to companies extremely reluctantly.

[11:50] {Threei} - GSEs are particular problems that must be addressed.

[11:50] {Threei} - TARP has served its purpose, now needs to be unwound.

[11:50] {Threei} - Sees TARP breakeven to in the red on payouts to financial companies.

[11:50] {ese} was watching qqqq's and it looked like a breakdown there and so i went with it

[11:51] {nemo} I gotta frickin' go and RIMM looks like it's going to trigger

[12:04] {BillyD} not me

[12:05] {BillyD} stubborn here

[12:05] {Threei} HGSI Today's strength partly attributed to a Bernstein note speculating that Amgen might be interested in HGSI acquisition (28.81, +1.35, 4.92%) (related AMGN GSK )

[12:05] {strider} I'm out RIMM avg. +.04, from entry at .07

[12:16] {Threei} hmm?

[12:16] {BillyD} stop was .15 right

[12:16] {Threei} it's not even math

[12:18] {BillyD} giving you a hard on on your birthday just isn't right

[12:18] {Threei} it's rather calculus than algebra {G}

[12:19] {dino} should've held trgt

[12:21] {Threei} AIG doesn't go up with market

[12:21] {Threei} let's see if it re-validates

[12:22] {Threei} I think it is

[12:22] {Threei} either same setup, or just .65 stop

[12:22] {Threei} personal choice

[12:24] {Threei} how about one of your famous drops AIG

[12:25] {fernp} .50 break w/stop above .65 is the play, no?

[12:25] {Threei} .60 or .65

[12:25] {Threei} [12:22] {Threei} personal choice

[12:31] {fernp} PAYX 32.10 breakdown? or too many short plays for lunch time?

[12:31] {Threei} why not

[12:32] {Threei} if market drops, PAYX looks good

[12:32] {Threei} a bit narrow, but stop is small

[12:32] {fernp} 5 cents stop

[12:32] {Threei} yup

[12:40] {Threei} oh well

[12:40] {fernp} out

[12:40] {Threei} not this time

[12:41] {dino} rino nears lod

[12:42] {Threei} (US) House Speaker Pelosi: Tax on financial transactions (Tobin Tax) has a great deal of merit

[12:42] {Threei} ***Reminder: Back on 11/24 thehill.com reported that House Democrats were drafting a 0.25% tax on all financial transactions, aiming to raise $150B/year.

[12:43] {dino} it will put me out of business i fear

[12:44] {patience} come trade on the tsx dino

[12:44] {dino} have to change to low priced or options

[12:44] {Threei} you and whole financial industry

[12:45] {dino} i may have too patience. these politicians will move the center of the financial world on this idea

[12:45] {Threei} they insist on the whole world doing that dino

[12:46] {dino} then tsx will not help me

[12:46] {Threei} danger to lose exchanges was the first thought when they started talking about it

[12:46] {Threei} so they stated it's a possibility if everyone does it

[12:46] {Threei} so expect attempt to push europe and canada

[12:46] {Threei} europe is not much of a resiastance

[12:47] {Threei} they are open to this idea

[12:47] {patience} can't see canada approving vad....too conservative a country to do this

[12:47] {dino} the politics of envy. you have it, i want it but don't know how to get it, so i'll destroy it

[12:47] {Threei} then it won't be implemented - unless USA lost its mind completely

[12:48] {Threei} and if it will, Canada will become financial center of the wetsern world in a flash

[12:48] {dino} let's hope it doesn't pass

[12:49] {Threei} I can see listings and brokerages moving to Canada within months

[12:50] {dino} of course, only the bad mgt would list in canada

[12:50] {dino} would not

[12:50] {dino} so the nyse would have, c, gm, and aig left

[12:51] {dino} hmmm, thought i'd get a laugh out of that, the govt owns them

[12:51] {Threei} you would if not for AIG

[12:52] {Threei} AIG we need

[12:52] {Threei} FRE and FNM they can have

[12:52] {dino} next will be you cannot leave your job if you have one

[12:53] {dino} because we need the taxes

[12:53] {Threei} why not... not working was illegal in USSR

[12:53] {Threei} you would go to jail for not working

[12:54] {Threei} remember the poet Brodsky?

[12:54] {dino} no

[12:55] {Threei} famous poet, Nobel prize

[12:55] {Threei} Soviet originally, moved to US

[12:56] {Threei} he was actually sent to prison for not having any offial line of work

[12:56] {dino} atlas shrugged

[12:56] {fernp} not working was illegal? how was that possible? incredible

[12:57] {Threei} USSR was incredible

[12:58] {Threei} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Brodsky

[12:58] {Threei} In 1963, he was arrested and in 1964 charged with parasitism by the Soviet authorities. A famous excerpt from the transcript of his trial made by journalist Frida Vigdorova was smuggled to the West:

[12:58] {Threei} Judge: And what is your profession, in general?

[12:58] {Threei} Brodsky: I am a poet and a literary translator.

[12:58] {Threei} Judge: Who recognizes you as a poet? Who enrolled you in the ranks of poets?

[12:58] {Threei} Brodsky: No one. Who enrolled me in the ranks of humankind?

[12:58] {Threei} Judge: Did you study this?

[12:58] {Threei} Brodsky: This?

[12:58] {Threei} Judge: How to become a poet. You did not even try to finish high school where they prepare, where they teach?

[12:58] {Threei} Brodsky: I didnt think you could get this from school.

[12:58] {Threei} Judge: How then?

[12:58] {Threei} Brodsky: I think that it ... comes from God.[

[12:59] {Threei} For his "parasitism" Brodsky was sentenced to five years of internal exile with obligatory engagement in physical work and served 18 months in the Archangelsk region. His sentence was commuted in 1965 after protests by prominent Soviet and foreign literary figures

[08:27] {Threei} RSOL daily looks interesting

[08:27] {Threei} don't know how influential news is

[08:27] {Threei} it's some strange arrangement

[08:28] {Les} what you refering to?

[08:28] {Les} the recent buying?

[08:29] {Threei} real goods solar Signed large multi-site contract to design and install 790 kW DC of solar electricity in CA

[08:29] {Threei} - Signed a large multi-site contract to design and install 790 kW DC of solar electricity across fourseparate affordable housing communities: three in San Francisco and one in Richmond, CA.

[08:29] {Threei} - The PV systems will be financed through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), enabling these properties to use solar-generated power without the upfront capital costs or operational expenses. Upfront installation costs have been significantly reduced by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsoms GoSolarSF solar energy incentive program, and the California Solar Initiative Multi-Family Affordable Solar Housing (MASH) Rebate Program.

[08:29] {Threei} - This multi-million dollar investment is expected to generate 1,090,311 kWhrs (1.1 MWhrs) of electricity for the residents of these communities, ensuring lower electricity rates for years to come. Californias new Virtual Net Metering tariff will allow the electricity and cost savings to be shared among the resident families as well as the common areas, a first for California.

[08:29] {Threei} - Through the San Francisco City Build and Solar Richmond workforce training programs, approximately 36 workers who were previously unemployed now have jobs installing the systems.

[08:30] {Threei} CYTR Announces That FDA Lifts Clinical Hold of Arimoclomol in ALS (1.00, 0.00, 0.00%)

[08:31] {Threei} so if I understood it right, RSOL installs equipment at its own expense, albeit reduced by rebates,

[08:32] {Threei} and hopes to recover it and profit by selling energy

[08:33] {Threei} KERX

[08:33] {Threei} Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for KRX-0401 (Perifosine) for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

[08:33] {Threei} - A Phase 3 trial investigating perifosine in combination with bortezomib (VELCADE) and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is expected to commence by year-end under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the FDA.

[08:33] {Threei} - In addition, in September, the Company announced that perifosine had received Orphan-Drug designation in the United States for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

[08:35] {Threei} Analysts at Credit Suisse update China investment strategy; Growing cautious in construction and capital goods names that are overly exposed to infrastructure/industrial development

[08:36] {Threei} AEZS Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (1.00, 0.00, 0.00%)

[08:39] {Les} nice cup developed, wonder if it can pull of handle as well KERX

[08:41] {Threei} on what chart?

[08:50] {Les} daily, last 3 months. No?

[08:50] {Les} or is that shallow pullback?

[08:51] {Threei} so far it's a cup

[08:51] {Threei} it's just that such time frame doesn't give you any options for today

[08:51] {Les} so can it be played as breakout of present price, given the consolidation?

[08:52] {Les} or would waiting for handle be way to go?

[08:52] {Threei} if you want to play C&H on daily chart, there is no such play today

[08:52] {Threei} it just completes the cup

[08:52] {Threei} whatever you want to play today would have to come from intraday chart

[08:53] {Les} sure

[09:09] {strider} know how to prevent it?

[09:10] {nemo} wait for laser brain to show up and then hammer him with the question

[09:10] {tomg} i figured it out, but forgot....let me look

[09:10] {ese} snts......another drug company moving this morning

[09:12] {strider} Dos cursor have to be set in a specific place in board?

[09:12] {tomg} i don't think that's the answer though

[09:12] {Threei} Reminder: Treasury Secretary Geithner to testify before the Senate Agriculture Committee on reform of the OTC derivatives market at 9:30amET

[09:12] {tomg} do you have dynamically sort checked?

[09:13] {strider} no. but I will.

[09:14] {strider} that seems to help

[09:14] {nemo} save your layout strider

[09:14] {tomg} ok, i did something, and whatever it was it fixed it. just don't remember exactly. maybe that's it

[09:14] {strider} will do.

[09:15] {strider} It's a good feature.

[09:15] {nemo} how did you link it to charts...I tried to figure that out

[09:15] {strider} Unfortunately, I overwrote most of my stocks for this morning.

[09:16] {strider} nemo..just as you link any thing else...under Window, set link

[09:16] {nemo} yeah, I tried that

[09:16] {strider} try it again...:)

[09:17] {strider} If you have the chart in another set of links....add it to that set.

[09:17] {nemo} I did, then when I click on the symbol in board view it doesn't do anything

[09:18] {strider} You're doing something wrong...works for me.

[09:18] {nemo} thanks Howard

[09:18] {strider} who's Howard?

[09:19] {nemo} Howard Cosell...master of the obvious (sorry Vad...came well before you)...no kidding...I'm doing something wrong (surprise!)

[09:20] {strider} Might be best to start with new board view history, and link it before you put in any syms.

[09:21] {nemo} Yeah...I was afraid of that

[09:52] {Threei} .40 was break level

[09:52] {ese} a little pullback to say .92 st and then away we go

[09:52] {Les} wasn't sufficient consolidation before breaking new high?

[09:53] {Threei} not the point Les... point is, trigger for atrade was .40

[09:53] {Threei} why skip that and then buy .45 break?

[09:54] {Les} figure 12.2, p.126

[10:07] {strider} 3.00

[10:07] {ese} could be

[10:08] {strider} I'll wait for a higher low also.

[10:08] {nemo} watching wag, for break of .80

[10:08] {strider} stop 2.87 for me, KERX

[10:09] {nemo} Les...you want my address?

[10:09] {ese} ya ....if it puts it in here....it'll make the high of the day i think.....more times than not with this pattern they do........but.......stocks go up except when they don't and down except when they don't

[10:10] {Les} Vad's already given it me...

[10:12] {nemo} what stock ese?

[10:12] {ese} kerx

[10:13] {Threei} DRYS over 1:1

[10:13] {Les} from your .40 break, yeh

[10:13] {Threei} right

[10:13] {Threei} your .45 break has two variations

[10:14] {Les} you'll have to show me where I should have entered when things have quietened down

[10:14] {Threei} one is if trade was taken as scalp type 1

[10:14] {Threei} then stop would be under .40, so it's at 1:1 as well

[10:14] {Les} ok

[10:14] {Threei} or as a scalp type II or a day trade, then your stop is under .35

[10:14] {ese} move day for drys.....like the third round of a golf tournament

[10:14] {Threei} and you have a few more cents till 1:1

[10:15] {ese} i think were lookin good here st

[10:15] {Threei} I told the entry when you first asked Les... and even before that

[10:15] {Threei} .40 break

[10:32] {BillyD} things stuck right now

[10:33] {Les} CAT b/d .50 trigger?

[10:35] {Threei} i the news ese

[10:35] {Threei} I like CAT chart

[10:35] {Threei} hopefully it stays under .60

[10:36] {Threei} for a tight stop

[10:36] {Threei} its nature is not very conducive to tight stop plays

[10:36] {Threei} but if market drops, this break should be nice

[10:36] {Threei} thing is red while market is strong

[10:37] {Threei} volume dris up on bounces

[10:37] {Threei} dries

[10:37] {nemo} aig short .04?

[10:55] {strider} whoa.

[10:55] {strider} jeez.

[10:56] {BillyD} watching SOMX

[10:56] {BillyD} can be a toughie though

[10:57] {Les} still watching CAT. AIG b/d .80 trigger?

06[10:57] * strider slaps Threei around a bit with a large alarm clock.....time to get up!

[10:58] {strider} out KERX +.07

[10:58] {ese} nice one

[10:59] {Threei} CAT just doesn't set up

[10:59] {Les} not yet

[10:59] {Les} .20 stop doable?

[11:00] {Threei} and AIG, for the world of me I can't tell whether it's breakdown, or sit at the low then spike

[11:01] {Threei} I'd prefer aggressive entry on CAT

[11:01] {Threei} .70 is closest resistance

[11:02] {Threei} no clear trigger for now

[11:02] {nemo} .66 is pivot

[11:03] {strider} there goes the market.

[11:04] {Les} so we're not permitted to play CAT. by invitation only?

[11:04] {Threei} huh?

[11:04] {Threei} see how .50 entry would put you in a very uncertain position now?

[11:05] {Les} y

[11:05] {Threei} because it would be done at the end on vertical drop

[11:05] {Les} that's what I meant by invitation only

[11:05] {Threei} but any kind of aggressive entrey would already be in a very nice profit

[11:05] {Les} hmm

[11:05] {Les} aig too

[11:05] {Threei} market drop takes them all down

[11:06] {dino} sm s acl .20

[11:09] {dino} stopped -.35

[11:09] {ese} what the h is this drop all about

[11:09] {BillyD} does it need a reason

[11:09] {Threei} maybe this:

[11:09] {Threei} US House approves plans to create first Federal Insurance industry regulator (related AIG MET GNW PRU HIG PFG LNC UNM GNW AFL )

[11:11] {ilana} did these news just come out?

[11:12] {larisa} this rally already got a name "most hated" :)

[11:13] {Threei} yes ilana

[11:13] {Les} yes, someone jerking traders chains today

[11:13] {Threei} because most everyone missed it larisa... and waited in vain for price to return for entry, or even shorted it

[11:41] {strider} Favorite quote from our favorite author:

[11:41] {strider} And what is it a trader needs to control? We know we cannot control the market. All we need to control is ourselves, our own behaviour. And this self-control is what enables us to win in the market. It's just uncomfortable. It requires discipline; unclouded, unbiased thinking; and the willingness to admit mistakes without ego intervention. Discomfort and profit go hand in hand.

[11:41] {Threei} sounds familiar...

[11:42] {Threei} I have read it somewhere

[11:42] {Moose} !

[12:57] {nemo} hard to tell, chart right though, volume characteristics iffy

[12:57] {ilana} plus the lunch time...

[12:57] {nemo} hey! that's my line...

[12:58] {ilana} i just borrowed it, ok

[12:58] {nemo} life is plagiarism

[12:58] {BillyD} play nice nemo

[12:58] {Threei} that's why I love living I guess

[12:58] {nemo} I was watching cat for .85 abreak but volume weird

[13:02] {dino} acl bounces again

[13:07] {BillyD} gern stem

[13:09] {Moose} lol... there was just an ad above on Mibbit about catching plagiarism

[13:10] {Moose} timely

[13:11] {Threei} it's not mibbit Moose

[13:11] {Moose} :D

[13:11] {Threei} it's me

[13:11] {dino} i see it

[13:11] {Moose} lol ic

06[13:11] * nemo slaps Moose around a bit with a large trout

[13:11] {Threei} [12:58] {nemo} life is plagiarism

[13:11] {Threei} [12:58] {BillyD} play nice nemo

[13:11] {Threei} [12:58] {Threei} that's why I love living I guess

[13:11] {Threei} this exzchange moved me to come up with that :)

[13:11] {dino} acl crazy again

[13:11] {Moose} ahhh ic

[13:11] {Moose} :O

[13:11] {nemo} didn't notice billy's comment...play nice? what's wrong with that?

[13:12] {Threei} nothing, Billy just still has this illusion that you can be reigned

[13:12] {BillyD} you are getting slow

[13:12] {Threei} a few more months and he will make his peace with the fact that you are incorrigible

[13:12] {BillyD} lol

[13:13] {Threei} after all, he gave up on me, didn't he

[13:13] {nemo} no, I subconsciously don't pay attention to you

[13:14] {BillyD} you are right vad, he won't behave

[13:14] {BillyD} I accept it

[13:15] {Threei} I did

[13:15] {Threei} and my life became easier

[13:15] {Threei} and I am all for "make your life simpler"

[13:15] {BillyD} feeling more peaceful already

[13:16] {nemo} now we can't have that

[13:17] {ilana} 1:1 WFC

[13:17] {Threei} :)

[13:18] {Threei} btw on WFC

[13:18] {Threei} where did you enter it Ilana?

[13:18] {ilana} .45

[13:19] {Threei} ok, little comment:

[13:19] {Threei} look at its chart starting from it's bottoming around 12:22,

[13:19] {Threei} see this ladder withing an ascending channel?

[13:20] {ilana} yes

[13:20] {Threei} it did two such moves before it got your attention

[13:20] {Threei} and when it starts uptrending like this,

[13:20] {Threei} the best entry is off lower envelop of this ascending channel

[13:20] {Threei} with exit into higher envelop

[13:20] {ilana} .40?

[13:20] {ilana} entry

[13:21] {Threei} in this case it means, your best entry was on plullback to .40

[13:21] {Threei} right

[13:21] {Threei} around 13:06 - 13:08

[13:21] {ilana} k thx

[13:21] {Threei} smaller stop, better reward

[13:21] {nemo} yeah, volume wasn't giving an idication of what was happening

[13:22] {Threei} right, and I hate breakouts when the pace is so evenly distributed'

[13:22] {nemo} ty

[13:22] {ilana} r u ok nemo?

[13:23] {nemo} o.k. I'll bite...why do you ask ilana?

[13:23] {ilana} being out of your image

[13:24] {Threei} lol

[13:24] {nemo} I say thank you...especially after you let me knaw on your arm for a while

[13:24] {BillyD} rflol

[13:24] {ilana} lol

06[13:24] * nemo thinks he should give up the coffee

[13:25] {ilana} anytime

[13:25] {nemo} too far away I'm sure

[13:25] {nemo} besides, they only let me out for a couple of hours each day

[13:26] {ilana} at lunch time i guess

[13:26] {ilana} that's you fav one

[13:27] {nemo} seed doing the same thing it did yesterday, dance in a range for most of the day

[13:28] {nemo} looking at Qs and spy, are we getting bear flags, or?

[13:28] {ilana} why do you hate evenly distributed pace, Vad?

[13:29] {nemo} can't read it

[13:29] {nemo} when you were looking at that C&H I was looking for volume pattern to confirm the C&H and the break you were looking for. It wasn't there

[13:29] {Threei} when the pace changes from upward to downward move, I can get rythm

[13:30] {Threei} and I can undertand which direction is favored

[13:30] {Threei} when it's just steady up and down with the same volume/pace, it's too random

[13:30] {ilana} i see

[13:30] {nemo} ilana, copy and paste that chart and save it

[13:31] {ilana} a little paradox but true

[13:31] {ilana} what chart nemo?

[13:31] {nemo} next time I see a good example of C&H volume pattern or pullback volume pattern confirming a break, I'll point it out

[13:31] {nemo} wfc

[13:31] {ilana} ok

[13:33] {ilana} where did you see C&H on WFC chart when i posted it?

[13:34] {nemo} it wasn't perfect, but you could make the argument for 12:32 to 12:59

[13:35] {ilana} oh ok, didn't refer to it as C&H, just resistane break

[13:36] {nemo} yes, but the pull back still should have shown a pullback and then a rise in volume toward the breakout point

[13:37] {nemo} you actually had a drop in volume which is a non-confimration

[13:51] {Les} vad, comments you made to Ilana vis a vis WFC trade earlier. does this apply to DRYS this morning?

[13:53] {Threei} well, DRYS was simply a matter of breaking first resistance as a trigger

[13:53] {Threei} vs waiting for some reason for another resistance

[13:53] {Threei} look it this way:

[13:54] {Threei} yeasterday's high on DRYS and today's first morning range showed .40 as a trigger

[13:54] {Threei} that became an etry

[13:54] {Threei} entry

[13:54] {Threei} what is the point of waiting for it to form another range, .40 - .45, and buying .45 break?

[13:55] {larisa} when you posted this morning my quote showed .44 on DRYS already. Not sure if it was my quotes or your MIRC

[13:56] {larisa} or my MIRC or your quotes :)

[13:56] {Les} well in your book entering at the lower end of the envelope is an aggressive trade

[13:56] {Threei} I talked about .40 earlier,

[13:56] {larisa} missed it then

[13:56] {Threei} at the moment of question I didn't look at it, was busy with something else,

[13:56] {Les} but here I read of caveat that "when the stock is uptrending"

[13:56] {Threei} but it did pull back to .40

[13:57] {Les} so one can be a little more aggressive in an uptrend?

[13:57] {Threei} wait a second

[13:57] {Threei} stock broke .40,

[13:57] {Threei} which was an origanl tyrigger,

[13:57] {Threei} then aftet moving up pulled back to .40

[13:57] {Threei} that's not agressive entry

[13:58] {Threei} that's conservative entry

[13:58] {ese} gonna hit the trail.......see ya tomorow

[13:58] {Threei} take care ese

[13:58] {ese} still L kerx

[13:58] {ese} see ya vad

[13:58] {Threei} but without regard to this particular trade yes, in a strong uptrending environment aggresive entries often prove the best

[13:59] {Les} missed several trades today as trending environment enabled stock to jump over entry point

[13:59] {Threei} ATHR was easy to get

[13:59] {Threei} it sat around .02 long enough fore entry

[13:59] {Les} that i wasn't following unfortunately

[14:00] {Les} I chose that loser DRYS instead

[14:00] {Threei} and even DRYS was winner...

[14:00] {Les} hmmm

[14:00] {Threei} FED'S BEIGE BOOK: BANKS FELT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IMPROVED MODESTLY

[14:01] {Threei} US) Fed's Lacker: US fiscal deficit is a huge challenge, Fed will not allow inflation to rise in order to reduce deficit

[14:01] {Threei} wow... those are fighting words

[14:01] {Threei} dino, do you believe him?

[14:01] {nemo} liar

[14:01] {dino} no

[14:01] {dino} inflation is the only way out, imo

[14:02] {nemo} no it isn't

[14:02] {dino} ?

[14:02] {nemo} default

[14:02] {Les} touché

[14:03] {dino} well, devaluation and inflation will be less painful

[14:03] {nemo} wow, accent and everything

[14:03] {nemo} oh, and they care about the serfs

[14:03] {Les} http://www.thedailycrux.com/content/3455/Porter_Stansberry

[14:04] {Les} don't have accents on English language keyboards?

[14:05] {nemo} no

[14:05] {BillyD} Vad, WFC short idea?, it seems not consistent w/ my memory on standard setups working at good %

[14:06] {BillyD} lately

[14:06] {Les} I'll text santa to send you a swiss logitech keyboard nemo

[14:06] {Les} WFC vad. b/d from here?

[14:06] {Les} .30 trigger

[14:06] {Les} ?

[14:06] {Threei} nor right away

[14:07] {Threei} need little bounce, then break

[14:08] {Threei} ideally, forming inverted C&H

[14:08] {BillyD} ASIA on my radar for 2 days now, w/ low volume and range hard to be convinced to enter

[14:08] {nemo} mon tempting short

[14:09] {nemo} vwap at .70 though

[14:15] {nemo} yeah, that .70 area a bit too important

[14:15] {dino} tsl

[14:15] {nemo} there's your jbe

[14:16] {Les} handle forming on WFC

[14:16] {Threei} .35 resistance so far

[14:21] {nemo} wf, looking long now

[14:21] {nemo} wfc

[14:22] {nemo} holding well against the market

[14:23] {Threei} market doesn't really do anything

[14:23] {Threei} 4 points NW move?

[14:23] {Threei} NQ

[14:23] {nemo} yeah, but that last drop wfc strengthened

[14:27] {BillyD} out WFC -.07

[14:27] {dino} jst sm l .75

[14:31] {Threei} oh my god

[14:31] {nemo} for you to say that...sheesh

[14:31] {Threei} let me go puke, then I'll post it

[14:31] {nemo} he's on tv again

[14:32] {Threei} here:

[14:32] {Threei} (US) White House: President Obama has asked economic team to "do whatever possible" to create conditions that encourage hiring

[14:32] {nemo} oh no...

[14:32] {Les} good soundbit

[14:32] {Les} soundbite

[14:33] {nemo} seed crashing

[14:33] {Threei} I can't make my choice between "no clue" and "I give up, I have no idea what to do"

[14:33] {ilana} isn't it the same?

[14:33] {Threei} well, have to describe that soundbite somehow

[14:34] {Threei} "someone do something!"

[14:34] {Threei} no news SEEF

[14:34] {Threei} SEED

[14:34] {dino} pretty basic what needs to be done

[14:34] {Threei} cut frigin taxes

[14:34] {Threei} create financial room for businesses to hire

[14:34] {nemo} anybody find it interesting that last week the fed talked about testing that reverse repo system, then Plosser talked about having to raise interest rates, then the leveraged etf's getting the leveraged pulled out of them

[14:35] {Threei} they are trying to jawbone the dollar

[14:35] {nemo} well #2 yes

[14:35] {nemo} numbers 1 and 3...something else

[14:35] {Threei} #1 too

[14:35] {Threei} sucking out liquidity

[14:35] {dino} right 3i

[14:36] {nemo} kinda' but, they start that, market goes down the sh%$!!er

[14:36] {Threei} yes,

[14:36] {nemo} and everybody hops on the leveraged shorts

[14:36] {Threei} so they are trying to do it sopftly,

[14:36] {Les} yeh but Obama needs to be elected when?

[14:36] {nemo} yeah, it's starting sooner than we think

[14:36] {Les} 2012?

[14:36] {nemo} 2012

[14:36] {Les} suck it out now

[14:36] {nemo} we'll all be dead

[14:36] {Les} reinject it 2011

[14:36] {nemo} right after election day

[14:36] {Threei} if jawboning succeeds, it will have much less effect than actrual implementation of measures

[14:37] {nemo} jawboning isn't working anymore, especially when you have multiple trillions to refinance

[14:37] {Les} so obama jawbones for the public

[14:37] {Threei} (US) Fed's Lacker: Looking for "well established" growth before tightening rates, real interest rates clearly need to rise

[14:37] {Threei} - Tightening is more about the expected pace of growth

[14:37] {Threei} - Exit strategy should start with asset sales

[14:37] {Threei} - Sees value in getting the Fed out of the housing market

[14:38] {Les} while the fed pulls the switch

[14:38] {Les} on this economy

[14:40] {fernp} im back. good day today?

[14:40] {fernp} scrolling up, I only see one official call on AIG

[14:43] {Les} belt up

[14:43] {Les} :) i mean that in a nice way

[14:43] {nemo} I don't take it that way

[14:43] {Les} WFC was rounding out its cup nicely. Wondering if handle is valid or is that too far removed from cup?

[14:44] {Les} it has bounced as Vad was looking for

[14:44] {nemo} Les...did I ever tell you about my Disgruntled Postal Worker Fantasy List?

[09:43] {BillyD} CAT short possibly

[09:44] {fernp} WFC still valid, no?

[09:44] {Threei} if bounces off 28 and stays under .10 this time, yes

[09:44] {fernp} ok

[09:44] {Threei} right away, not sure

[09:44] {Threei} can turn a trap easily

[09:54] {strider} on RIMM

[09:55] {Threei} watching HIG for pullback with possible entry around .60

[09:56] {Threei} will try to alert in time, keep finger on the trigger if it drops close to .60

[09:57] {Threei} break of .75 is a valid trade if market spikes... just not what worked on HIG lately

[09:57] {strider} numbers may affect it.....2 minutes.

[09:58] {Threei} yeah

[10:42] {ese} just watchin from here on in..........destructive thought process goin on

[10:43] {Threei} 10:39] {Threei} well, if magoo were here he would proclaim AIG a momo and assign a price of, let's say 33

[10:43] {nemo} out fitb vad?

[10:43] {Threei} if loses .10

[10:45] {Moose} beginning to think waiting on AIG pullback is fruitless

[10:51] {Threei} Short Setup: GLD 117 break

[10:51] {Threei} half lot

[10:51] {Threei} if stays under .10

[10:51] {Threei} actually... stop is small enough for full lot

[10:51] {Threei} sme slippage is possible though

[10:51] {Threei} so 3/4 lot

[10:52] {Threei} aggressive entry maybe better idea

[10:53] {strider} with aggressive entry is stop still at .10?

[10:53] {Threei} a few cents above

[10:55] {ese} more like it in and out rimm .89 to .99

[10:59] {Threei} AIG picks up pace again

[11:00] {Threei} shouldn't break this time...

[11:01] {Threei} let's see if we get double top with readable short trigger

[11:01] {Threei} on AIG

[11:01] {nemo} might it take fitb with it?
