[08:31] {Threei} APR PCE CORE M/M: 0.1% V 0.1%E; PCE CORE Y/Y: 2.1% V 2.1%E; PCE DEFLATOR Y/Y: 3.2% V 3.1%E
[08:31] {Threei} APR PERSONAL INCOME: 0.2% V 0.1%E; PERSONAL SPENDING: 0.2% V 0.2%E
[08:31] {Threei} what crisis?
[08:42] {hawkfan4} i'm just glad i didn't hold any solar stocks short overnight. FSLR up 20
[08:43] {Threei} this is simply indecent
[08:44] {Threei} I am deeply resentful of your behavior
[08:45] {hawkfan4} no, i'm not in, i just think the move is crazy, but i didn't touch it. just an observation
[08:45] {Threei} ah
[08:46] {Threei} sorry, misread... thought it was "didn't sell"
[08:46] {magoo} morning
[08:46] {Threei} magoo
[08:47] {magoo} how'd u like mad scan vad?
[08:49] {Threei} I don't
[08:50] {Threei} let me rephrase
[08:50] {Threei} it's trying to do practically the same my current tools do but so far it's inferior to them
[08:51] {Threei} so I see no reason to switch at this point in time
[08:51] {magoo} cool
[08:51] {magoo} now, why FSLR gapping 18 points?
[08:51] {magoo} also csiq +2
[08:52] {Threei} Germany cuts to subcides are not that bad as feared
[08:52] {magoo} sigh
[08:52] {magoo} now this is truth
[08:53] {Threei} why does it make you sad?
[08:53] {magoo} all mornin g im thinking "250 has supported fslr" and it may go 20 points today..
[08:53] {magoo} walk in and therfe it it
[08:53] {magoo} problem is now the trades gone
[08:54] {Threei} and if Germany decided it doesn't want to support solar industry with taxpayers money that heavily... it would be 30 points lower by now
[08:58] {magoo} i just get these weird feelings..all morning i was tthinking buy 100 sh and ride it
[08:58] {magoo} didn't want to overnite it
[09:02] {magoo} MRVL nuts vad..news?

[11:42] {_rant} will take it in this crazy mkt
[11:42] {Chaeron} if anyone is bored... http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23488455-details/Al-Qaeda's+terrifying+vision+of+a+devastated+America+in+the+wake+of+a+nuclear+attack/article.do
[11:43] {Chaeron} and if they even THINK about it again, here's a picture of what we'd do first - http://farm1.static.flickr.com/78/180862057_f58e3ea6bb.jpg?v=0
[11:43] {dino} gj
[11:44] {Threei} 200 bucks per trade is nothing to sneeze at for daytraders, IMO
[11:44] {dino} 1:1 for me is $100
[11:44] {Chaeron} $200/day is $4000/mo
[11:44] {Threei} if you can do it twice a day consistently, you have fairly comfortable living
[11:45] {Chaeron} unless you're in Canada where the US $ is worth nothing :)
[11:45] {Threei} yeah, rub it on
[11:45] {dino} use your dollar to buy our real estate
[11:45] {Chaeron} that's "in" Threei... "in"
[11:45] {Threei} that too
[11:46] {GeoArb} yup those canadians
[11:46] {GeoArb} ravaging our lands
[11:46] {Threei} lol
[11:46] {magoo} i looked chaer at post...those sob's
[11:47] {GeoArb} unfortunatley we are providing them the money to develop stuff
[11:48] {GeoArb} turn the oil money spigot off !!!
[11:48] {GeoArb} when i travel to asia , its frigheting to see how that money is being used to "educate"
[11:49] {dino} lies i bet
[11:49] {GeoArb} of course
[11:49] {GeoArb} completely
[11:49] {GeoArb} they take the money from here and then use it for propaganda against us
[11:49] {dino} thats how they keep control of their people, keep them full of lies, etc, they do anything you want
[11:50] {GeoArb} lets just make money and feel better :)
[11:50] {dino} ok
[11:51] {Chaeron} naaa... you got me mad geo... I'm going to go drill in ANWR and build a few refineries and nuclear plants :)
[11:51] {_rant} OMG anyone ?
[11:51] {dino} i wish we would
[11:51] {dino} and the coasts
[11:52] {GeoArb} i need to invent working fusion
[11:52] {Threei} not sure rant
[11:52] {Threei} chart looks nice but it's a slow trader and we move into lunch time
[11:53] {_rant} rsi crossover 30
[11:54] {_rant} always safer bet
[11:54] {dino} i will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today
[11:54] {GeoArb} ??? dino
[11:54] {dino} :)
[11:57] {magoo} popeye
[11:58] {Chaeron} wimpy
[11:59] {GeoArb} off to work... thanks all... have a great weekend (off to hunt vad's beer)
[11:59] {Chaeron} bye Geo... see you Monday
[11:59] {dino} later geo
[12:00] {dino} jcg breaking out
[12:00] {_rant} bummer
[12:01] {_rant} sold early
[12:03] {dino} same here but 2/2 on it
[12:03] {Threei} yeah
[12:03] {_rant} 37.8
[12:04] {Threei} the idea is not to take all the money move can offer
[12:04] {_rant} need to learn good exit points..
[12:04] {_rant} and let profits run
[12:04] {_rant} and cut losses..
[12:04] {_rant} tend to always do the opposite
[12:04] {Threei} "last 1/8 is the most expensive"
[12:04] {Threei} cut losses is right
[12:05] {Threei} with no reservations
[12:05] {Threei} stop is hit, get out,
[12:05] {Threei} no second thoughts, no guessing, no hesitation
[12:05] {Threei} profits run is right but there are buts
[12:06] {Threei} profits tend to evaporate if you oversit the move
[12:06] {_rant} true
[12:06] {_rant} i like trailing stop
[12:06] {Threei} gotta have sound method to manage a trade
[12:06] {Threei} partialling out, trailing stop
[12:06] {_rant} it protects u from a bigger loss
[12:07] {_rant} but the key is to understand the ATR and place the trailing stop correctly
[12:07] {_rant} tight stops might be taken out all the time
[12:07] {Threei} well, stop must be dictated by the chart
[12:07] {_rant} daily chart ?
[12:08] {Threei} whatever chart you base your trade on
[12:08] {dino} of course it is scalpers friday, so we scalp
[12:08] {Threei} if it's intraday trade, it's more likely to be intraday chart, no?
[12:08] {Threei} one of frequent mistakes made
[12:08] {_rant} yes, but you wont know the bottom until it is formed
[12:08] {Threei} is basing one's stop on his monetary needs solely
[12:09] {Threei} you don't need to
[12:09] {magoo} ener breaking out vad
[12:09] {Threei} this is not how trade is structured and managed
[12:09] {Threei} there is a certain setup for each trade
[12:10] {_rant} what u think of JCG vad...
[12:10] {Threei} one of elements of such setup is the action that renders original reson for entry invalid
[12:10] {_rant} worth going into it again
[12:10] {_rant} 37.49 now
[12:10] {Threei} I don't have read on it
[12:11] {Threei} to finish the thought,
[12:11] {_rant} omg climbing slow n steady
[12:11] {Threei} your stop is placed in such manner
[12:11] {Threei} that trade is cut off when that action accurs
[12:12] {_rant} i didnt get u ? trade is cutoff ?
[12:12] {Threei} stopped out
[12:12] {_rant} oh ok
[12:12] {Threei} on this I'll shut up and let you jump from stock to stock hunting for a lunch time stop {G}
[12:12] {_rant} :) i m pacific time zone..!
[12:12] {Threei} me too
[12:12] {_rant} time to go to work :)

[12:37] {_rant} trade ?
[12:39] {Roman} LGND
[12:39] {Roman} spike on news
[12:39] {Roman} LGND Ligand Pharma jumps after US Panel member supports new drug approval - Bloomberg (3.00 +0.65)
[12:41] {dino} not in rant missed it thought it would go higher for short
[12:44] {Threei} LLTC
[12:44] {Threei} 37 break for a scalp if stays above .90
[13:02] {Threei} TREASURY'S PAULSON: RISING OIL PRICES ARE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE, MORE INVESTMENT NEEDED IN MAJOR OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES TO BOOST OUTPUT- Some parts of the Senate mortgage backstop plan are not helpful
[13:09] {Threei} market loses steam
[13:10] {Threei} GREENSPAN: CREDIT CRUNCH IS NOW BEGINNING TO AFFECT ASIA
[13:10] {Threei} duct tape, please
[13:12] {magoo} any read ENER vad?
[13:14] {Threei} looks up
[13:15] {Threei} can't nail it more exactly
[13:15] {dptl} is there a gold etf?
[13:15] {Threei} yes

[13:16] {Threei} there are different ones
