Feb 19 2010
Day started with very nice WFC long - and then turned into stopfest, with three plays in row getting topped out after almost hitting profit target. It took careful and patient trading to take the day back to even, and then finally to profit by spectacular long entry on VXX shakeout - check out this trade at 13:59, comments starting with "better try to get in on pullback." All in all, teeth-pulling kind of day but two-week long winning streak remains uninterrupted.

[08:33] {nemo} didn't move the indexes yet...makes sense, yesterday was the first shot across the bow. One datapoint does not a trend make
[08:34] {Threei} I guess
[08:38] {Les} afternoon gentlemen
[08:39] {ese} good morning
[08:39] {Les} hi ese
[08:39] {ese} hey les
[08:39] {ese} dude
[08:39] {Threei} Les, ese :)
[08:39] {ese} vad
[08:39] {Les} Nemo, HELLO!
[08:39] {Les} :)
[08:40] {Les} been watching FSLR since 116.50 b/o setup after 8 am. made a buck easy
[08:41] {Les} took a hit after decent earnings release
[08:42] {nemo} Hi Les
[08:43] {Les} if I tell you to belt up Nemo...
[08:43] {Les} know that it is in good humour
[08:43] {Les} my wife has me licked
[08:43] {Les} the kids don't listen to me
[08:43] {Les} so I seek to assert authority on virtual colleagues now
[08:44] {Les} but always in good humour :)
[08:45] {Les} rain finally melting snow away here
[08:46] {nemo} that interest rate rise is having minimal effect so far except on gold and the $, haven't seen oil yet
[08:48] {Threei} slightly down
[08:48] {Threei} nothing groundshaking
[08:50] {Les} reading commentary that remarks "forget Bernanke now, watch China's central bank"
[08:50] {Threei} (US) PIMCO's Bill Gross: Discount rate increase is a slight signal; other rate changes not due for at least 6 months - CNBC
[08:50] {Threei} - Favors "steepening, steepening, steepening" of US yield curve with Fed set to maintain existing policy for forseeable future, notes the spread bewtween the long bond yield and short end may be as steep as it will get but expects it to stay here for some time
[08:50] {Threei} - Does not expect the Fed to move on the discout rate anytime soon, move was likely to appease the hawks on FOMC.
[08:52] {Threei} - Says timing of discount rate move yesterday was a bit surprising even though it was telegraphed.
[08:52] {Les} Wasn't premature rate rises responsible for 2nd leg down in Great Depression?
[08:53] {Threei} depends on who you ask
[08:53] {Threei} they still can't aree on what actually worked and what didn't to end it
[08:54] {Threei} oil is almost back to breakeven nemo
[08:54] {Les} hmm. so Bernanke has hands tied -$100B treasury sale next week apparently - or trying to please some critics
[08:54] {Les} whatever
[08:54] {Threei} whatever is right
[08:55] {Threei} you are looking for sensible action by a man who said housing crisi was about over - in 2005
[08:55] {Les} hah
[08:55] {Les} seems to be driving gold all over the place
[08:56] {Threei} CSIQ margings decreased for 2010
[08:56] {Threei} now, tell me someone... why did we bpther to cover AMLN yesterday just before closer?
[08:57] {Threei} good 50 cents below our short entry

[09:43] {Threei} - with the release of the Q3 data in November, the MBA noted
[09:43] {Threei} they expect unemployment to keeping rising into the first quarter of 2010, which means we will most likely see even higher rates of delinquencies and foreclosures.

[14:40] {i2romantis} There's a rumor on XNPT that seems to be real
[14:40] {nemo} a real rumor or a rumor that's true
[14:40] {nemo} thus not a rumor
[14:40] {nemo} I think I better get a drink
[14:41] {Threei} nothing on the wire
[14:41] {i2romantis} not real until proven not a rumor :)
[14:41] {Threei} if it's on some message board, well... they cook them eright there :)
[14:42] {Les} haha the message board. I learnt well the message board universe playing SPNG
[14:43] {Les} only thing seperating those loonies from me is Vad's wisdom
[14:43] {Threei} wisdom eh
[14:44] {i2romantis} :)
[14:44] {Les} can't think of anything else
06[14:44] * Threei assumes a famous Rodin sculpture position... Thin... Think... hard to even type that... THINKER! there

[14:51] {i2romantis} That's why it was a god's gift, Vad, for me
[14:51] {i2romantis} when I say that, it means I was a bad boy today, going against the plan
[14:51] {i2romantis} but glad to have saved the day
[14:52] {i2romantis} wondering where XNPT is going to finish today, I'm feeling like I'm spamming here :)
