[06:02] <_jack> hello all and thanks bruce
[06:02] hi jack
[06:02] welcome guys, enjoy your stay for couple days
[06:03] <_jack> hello threei
[06:03] in order to get familiar with our trading philosophy, make sure to go over our blog
[06:04] http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/
[06:04] <_jack> thanks, you still trade like the book threei?

[06:04] <_openhouse> ok will do. Thanks for letting us in. Morning all.
[06:04] like what book? :)
[06:04] hi openhouse
[06:05] yeah on roman vad...i remember he is having internret speed issues and they wouldn't fix them
[06:05] <_jack> techniques of tape reading

[06:08] it all strated w/ DT Vad...lol
[06:08] switch?
[06:08] trip donw memory lane? :)
[06:08] in the archives :)
[06:09] SEED momo
[06:09] party like its 1999, i say
[06:10] October sure feels like 1999
[06:10] full bloqwn mania
[06:10] -q
[06:11] I want to skip first 5-10 minutes or so, to see which gaps are sustainable and keep momo going, which fizzle out
[06:12] BCON should hold 2.50 .....needs to hold .45
[06:12] too many gaps, gotta let them sort themselves out
[06:12] they can't all just go, some will die off
[06:12] oh yes they can he he
[06:12] or at least take pause
[06:12] or a new evolves
[06:13] yup
[06:13] speaking of Gaps CPSL....
[06:13] up .61
[06:15] for adrenalin deprived, keep an eye on FREE for possible continuation
[06:15] 10.40-10.50 is likely to set it for the next leg
[06:15] speaking of gaps...information gaps that is what are Chinese companies required to report?
[06:15] stock is very volatile, keep shares small
[06:16] well, trading on US exchanges they have to report just as any other... how reliable their accounting practices are is whole another matter
[06:17] jade is moving
[06:17] ya no kidding...cpsl Income growth %317 but no sales growth reported... interesting
[06:18] acccounting by abacus, it seems
[06:18] or look at whole LDK debacle...
[06:18] what was that about
[06:18] good morning all
[06:18] dp
[06:19] hi dp
[06:19] dp :)
[06:19] questions about inventories, ese

[06:27] jokes are needed

[07:39] PBR
[07:42] market is looking around searching for the next crazy momo play
[07:45] everything all at once it seems
[07:47] I am back to waiting mode
[07:47] don't see anything compelling at the moment
[07:50] ctel moving - hi risk though
[07:57] cmed
[07:58] are we going to have first quiet day in two weeks for a change or what

[08:00] while no nedw trades appear on horizon... any questions from guests?
[08:00] LOCM some activity
[08:01] i always lose on that one
[08:02] not my favorite
[08:02] can't believe nvda will not lose 36
[08:02] it will or it won't... we are not going to lose money on it in any case
[08:08] Do you have a daily price range and ave daily volume criteria for the stocks you select?
[08:08] price range, no
[08:08] anything that is active, shows familiar setups and allows for tight risk control will do
[08:08] Thanks
[08:09] volume is one of risk control criteria so yes, this is to be considered
[08:14] <_diane> Hi gang..long time..

[08:15] NVDA gonna let go

[08:16] should get near .50 area
[08:16] 10:27am [INPC] Lowers 3Q guidance, outlook; hires Lazard as Financial Advisormore.. - Co. says Q3 results did not meet its expectations, 3Q results 'significantly' below previously announced guidance - Currently taking cost-cutting steps working with Lazard - Requires funding to continue operations and fund losses - Lazard Midd Market to complete full review of Company's financing and strategic alternatives
[08:16] was hatled premarket
[08:16] ty
[08:17] previous headline:
[08:17] 09/22/07 12:00pm [INPC] Announces that President Andy Zeinfeld would be promoted to the position of CEO, effective Oct 1
[08:17] gold?
[08:17] good timing for promotion eh?
[08:18] well, INPC kept becoming a better bargain, everytime it went lower the last year cough
[08:18] CTEL vad

[08:21] any setup on XING?
[08:22] not yet, but if pulls back a little, holds well and breaks high, will be
[08:24] .30 metldown long if holding above .20
[08:25] XING's ready\
[08:25] l XING .33
[08:27] stop @ .20vad?
[08:27] just under
[08:27] k
[08:27] no worky
[08:29] <_diane> Threei, whats your take on RIMM? I have some oct puts.
[08:31] nice weakness
[08:31] looks like has ways to go down still
[08:32] vad..keep eye on JADE..not done imho
[08:33] <_dpn> ZUMZ
[08:35] thanks for the am guys, I will check you all manana
[08:35] :)
[08:38] hard to tell magoo... so far frenzy hasn't returned
[08:38] not to say it won't
[08:39] ebay cup and handle setup vad?
[08:39] just no indication eithger way for now
[08:39] not really EBAY
[08:40] now it feels more and more like 7 is imminent mags
[08:40] are we plaing jade vad?
[08:41] if you are ok with its risk
[08:41] it's not your usual NVDA, LOL
[08:41] whats the setup?
[08:41] no setup, this is pure momo play
[08:41] <_dpn> INFY might break consolidation
[08:41] either you feel it or you don't play it
[08:41] l .90
[08:42] [11:40] now it feels more and more like 7 is imminent
[08:42] :)
[08:42] 50 c stop in jade
[08:43] <_dpn> JASO
[08:44] SYNA
[08:44] 52 break long
[08:44] grrrr... too fast
[08:44] don't chase
[08:45] let's see if we get pullback
[08:45] stop would be 51.85
[08:46] let me know your entry if
[08:47] if it pulls back, as c,lose as I can to support level on a first strength
[08:47] if just goes, will skip most likely
[08:47] unless it consolidates for a while so I get new range to work with
[08:48] kind of .11 long with 51.99 stop if it stays in this range for a few more min
[08:48] out JADE +,24
[08:49] whew ram... your entries will cost me heart attack some day
[08:49] went long 6.90 out 7.14
[08:49] nice ram
[08:50] most of your entries are borderline chasing... and some are beyond the border, lol
[08:51] seem to be working for him
[08:51] yes but don't forget, we are in runaway market
[08:51] it's forgiving kind
[08:52] when it tightens, it won't be as easy
[08:53] just for a quick illustration, compare today's market with what we had for week and half before
[08:53] CTEL IN
[08:53] several runners every day, setup after setup,
[08:53] everything works like charm, and most important, next one comes in 5 minutes after we are done with current
[08:53] today is much calmer
[08:54] and look what difference it made
[08:54] no plays for an hour,
[08:54] harder to find momo movers,
[08:54] setups are not that forgiving,
[08:54] if it stops it stops,
[08:55] what I am diving at is:
[08:55] don't allow habits formed in scorching hot bull market to get instilled
[08:56] that's what killed once happy participants of 1998-2000 bull
[08:56] things reversed but they still bought "next hot thing",
[08:56] <_diane> I see more volatility in the market, i think partly because of the repo.s
[08:56] held for weeks and months,
[08:57] refused to keep stops "because things always come back"
[08:57] we all know how they came back that time don't we
[08:58] there are probably still QCOM holders at 700 around... or CMGI at 200
[08:58] waiting for them to come back
[08:58] <_diane> or like stupid little SSTR
[08:59] you mean they arent coming back?
[08:59] SSTR, typical momo play
[08:59] one day wonder
[08:59] ummm... looking for an answer bruce
[09:00] <_diane> ya, i woder if it'll ever come back haha
[09:00] lol
[09:00] I won a bmw today vad!
[09:00] torn between "no", "not in this millenium" and "not before the next ice age"
[09:00] from nigeria?
[09:00] emails says I won and all I have to do is send registration money
[09:01] oh cool
[09:01] on a ticket I never bought
[09:01] even cooler
[09:01] never win anythings
[09:01] you sent money of course first thing in the morning?
[09:01] must have been sent to me by mistake
[09:01] am thinking with your luck it must be yours
[09:01] oh that's OK, keep it,
[09:02] I have enough money coming from Nigeria
[09:02] lol
[09:02] lol
[09:02] syna still valid?

[10:58] yeah
[10:59] NQ really helped itr
[10:59] close was .39 yesterday so am wondering why you would take it so close to support at .50?
[10:59] that was support on intraday, simply breakdown of DBI type
[11:00] k
[11:00] I saw volume rising too
[11:00] and then someone uplugged the entire market and made shorts work
[11:00] look at this
[11:01] yeah - really quick drop
[11:01] now, ATEA is either very strong or noone cares about it enough to sell it with market :)
[11:02] dow started big drop about about this time yesterday

[11:29] hey,life is good

[11:34] in both sense of the word
[11:34] senses
[11:34] HEARING EQUITY MARKET WEAKNESS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO UNCONFIRMED RUMOR GOLDMAN MAKING CAUTIOUS COMMENTS ON ABOUT THE TECH SECTOR
[11:35] cautious comments? 50 points NQ drop?
[11:35] unless their "cautios comment" is "run for your life"...
[11:36] can goldman move the market that far?
[11:36] alone, no
[11:36] if conditions are right and everyone follows, sure
[11:37] but don't pay much attention to all these after the fact explanations
[11:37] we already heard three at least
[11:38] hillary plan, irna threat and goldman "cautious comment"
[11:38] irna = irn
[11:38] iran
[11:38] there... on a third attempt I got it right
[11:38] <_diane> YOU RAN? HOW FAR? LOL
[11:40] OPEC OUTPUT RISES TO 30.76M BPD IN SEPT

[11:40] it's not really hard chaeron...
[11:41] I mean, find a paddle, drop in it - and you made it much funnier than I ever could
[11:41] FPRT nice capitulation
[11:41] <_diane> thanks Chaeron.....comes with old age

[11:54] naaaa... we're to professional to be stunned or amazed
[11:55] <_diane> it's been a while since i've had a rush like that. RIMM dropped like a rock and the puts took off. I had to scramble to get a price, My heart was beating so fast
[12:00] BTUI ECEIVES $1.9 MILLION ORDER FOR NUCLEAR FUEL-SINTERING FURNACE FROM CHINA

[12:20] coming up with credible explanation for this will not be easy
[12:22] bruce... remember this exchange:
[12:22] [14:23] not worth the risk
[12:22] [14:23] let them sort it out, not every battle has to be fought
[12:23] I seem to re3member something like that
[12:23] emotions run way too high

[12:31] <_diane> CSCO short?
[12:31] I wouldn't
[12:32] <_diane> CMCSA
[12:32] <_diane> if it drops below support
[12:33] diane, all these drops are not on their own merits, it's just the market following
[12:33] and there is no way I would try to bet which way market is going from here
[12:34] I believe it's up but I elaready believed that twice
[12:34] <_diane> AMAT long?
[12:34] so I just keep my belief in my pocket and watch
