[09:27] {Threei} NVDA lost 13
[09:27] {dino} its the only way to break the union and get the cutbacks they need
[09:28] {esemde} hmmmmmmm
[09:28] {esemde} not much substance to it dino?
[09:30] {dino} their costs are way too high, the can't fire people, and they are locked into labor contracts that make them build the wrong cars. its a mess.

[09:33] {Threei} .51 with .39 stop
[09:33] {magoo} in
[09:33] {magoo} .49

[09:35] {Threei} NVDA is a tough one to trade latley, but heck, I don't believe it goes to zero
[09:35] {magoo} lets watch aapl for vbounce vad
[09:36] {kazaam} man, i look away from the chat for 1 minute and you guys are making money
[09:36] {Threei} sorry kaz

[09:37] {kazaam} lol
[09:37] {Threei} mags, I would feel much more comfortable with AAPL closer to 168
[09:37] {magoo} ok
[09:38] {Threei} look at NVDA 1 min and daily,
[09:38] {Threei} just how tempting that was to jump on it around 13
[09:38] {Threei} a bit of patience, letting it come to us, capitulatory selling, and we got almost exact bottom
[09:39] {Threei} AAPL is much worse in this regard, getting in too early will cost much more
[09:40] {magoo} we need naz turn first on aapl
