[11:23] {Threei} FNM
[11:23] {Threei} DISCUSSES PLANNED INCREASE IN MULTIFAMILY INVESTMENTS
[11:23] {Threei} - Will expand liquidity, stability and affordability by increasing its participation in key segments of the multifamily market. The company also announced that it has invested $20B in multifamily housing in the first half of 2008, further reinforcing Fannie Mae's leadership in the multifamily market.
[11:23] {Threei} - Fannie Mae is increasing its commitment to purchase Small Multifamily Loans of up to $3M, or $5M in certain markets. These loans typically finance a uniquely affordable asset class consisting of properties that are located in urban areas near public transportation and serve working families. The company invested approximately $5B in Small Loans in the first half of 2008, a significant increase over 2007 mid-year production of $3B. Production includes both pool purchases and flow business.

[11:26] {magoo} BINGO
[11:26] {Chaeron} we just know better
[11:26] {Threei} :)
[11:28] {tomg} ty magoo, chaer :))
[11:29] {Chaeron} my pleasure Tom... great job
[11:29] {Threei} see... on tom you can count
06[11:29] * Chaeron slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[11:29] {Threei} in politeness department
[11:29] {tomg} trying to do better in that department :)
[11:30] {Threei} if you don't slap people in response to "good morning" you already outdid me
[11:30] {tomg} ha! ok :)
[11:31] {Threei} nsiled bottom on LEH to the cent... didn't hold long enough
[11:32] {tomg} me either, but happy with scalp
[11:35] {Chaeron} next?
06[11:37] * magoo slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout
[11:37] {magoo} next slap correct?
[11:41] {magoo} long aaplk .50
[11:44] {Threei} ACOR small shares .50 break long
[11:45] {Threei} stop under .30
[11:45] {magoo} stopped .04
[11:53] {Threei} invalidated
[11:54] {dino} ezpw stop to b/e
[11:58] {Threei} SQNM half lot long .60 if stays above .45
[11:59] {magoo} can chaer and i take it??
[11:59] {Threei} 10K only
[11:59] {dptl} ok,then i pass
[11:59] {Threei} invalidated anyway :)
[12:00] {Chaeron} I like it better when Threei says ":double position" over half lot...
[12:01] {Threei} actually, there were no prints under .45
[12:02] {Chaeron} so it's on again?
[12:02] {Threei} yeah
[12:04] {dino} sm l dwsn .65
[12:06] {Threei} market loses steam again...
[12:07] {dptl} come on urre
[12:07] {magoo} vad,look at qqqq chart..big volume on that red bar
[12:08] {Chaeron} what the.... SQNM
[12:09] {Threei} volatile one... that's why half lot
[12:09] {magoo} sh rimm loss of 121\

[12:17] {dino} captain cavman blood
[12:17] {dino} cavm
[12:19] {magoo} stiopped rimm
[12:19] {magoo} mkt killed it
[12:20] {Threei} meaningless up and down in the market
[12:20] {Threei} won't alllow any play develop
[12:20] {dino} sm l cavm .59
[12:27] {Threei} URRE moves more or less in synch with oil
[12:28] {Threei} it held above support and forms tighter consolidation to 3
[12:28] {Threei} but whether it's going to break will ultimately depend on oil
[12:39] {Threei} US OFFICIAL SAYS THE IRANIAN RESPONSE TO OFFER SHOWS THE COUNTRY IS LOOKING FOR COMMON GROUND ON THE ISSUE
[12:39] {Threei} I guess that's why oil skyrocketed and market dropped?
[12:44] {kazaam} chop non stop, even a leg down cant go without some chop
[12:44] {Threei} I guess summer shows
[12:45] {Threei} it's the most active summer I've ever seen, but choppiness is there
[12:45] {Chaeron} so I can just go and come back after Labor day? :)
[12:45] {Chaeron} ohh nevermind
[12:45] {patience} sure chaeron, just leave your money with me to look after until then
[12:45] {Threei} and if oil bubble bursts while you are away? imagine the size of rally you are going to miss
[12:46] {Threei} I'll be back in 40 min or so guys, gotta run little errand
[12:50] {Chaeron} patience... that's a winning idea
[12:50] {patience} better pop up to victoria to drop the money off...
[13:02] {dino} cavm stopped
[13:11] {dino} chaer, cavm same thing again
[13:11] {dino} i need a vacation
[13:12] {Chaeron} I noticed... and agree with your prescription for myself as well
[13:12] {dino} :)
[13:37] {kazaam} if i could just make money on picking plays that will move the least, I would be a billion dollar man this week
[13:40] {dino} lol
[13:40] {dino} starting to think i must widen my stops
[13:41] {dino} cavm.........ohhhh mannnnnn
[13:49] {Threei} back
[13:49] {Threei} missed anything?
[13:49] {fernp} difficult times
[13:49] {dino} yeah, another rinse
[13:49] {magoo} nah
[13:49] {Threei} ummm
[13:50] {Threei} thought of LEH of 21 when leaving
[13:50] {Threei} but it went there and bounced wqithout me
[13:55] {Threei} URRE is merrily sleeping
[13:55] {dptl} yeah....all day.....
[13:56] {Threei} lol... while I was away:
[13:56] {Threei} CUT AT S&P TO CCC FROM B
[13:56] {Threei} IMB
[13:57] {Threei} it trades like total pink sheet already, what's left to cut
[14:00] {Threei} URRE at the breakeven point
[14:01] {Threei} I can't make much out of it, if you are tired of holding, scratch it even
[14:01] {Threei} chances of it working are the same as getting stopped out
[14:01] {Threei} roll a dice and decide
[14:14] {Threei} RIMM pullback closer to .50 for long
[14:16] {magoo} 121.50?
[14:16] {Threei} yes
[14:16] {Threei} NQ pulling back
[14:18] {Threei} watch NQ now for bounce to grab RIMM
[14:18] {dptl} out urre -.02
[14:20] {Threei} in
[14:20] {Threei} .33
[14:20] {Threei} stop .15

[14:23] {Threei} in .95
[14:24] {Threei} stop under .80
[14:24] {Threei} out .25
[14:25] {Threei} what a jerky market
[14:32] {dino} ya think?
[14:32] {Threei} LEH .81 long, .74 stop
[14:35] {dptl} ahh stopped leh
[14:36] {Threei} should dive closer to .50 for betgter bounce chance
[14:38] {judijim} siging off for today, cleared $1030 for today, we're here everyday but not always in the market. Be back tomorrow.
[14:38] {Threei} good job jj

[14:46] {Chaeron} guess I scared everyone away.....
[14:47] {Threei} FRE drop is weighing on it
[14:53] {dino} well so much for yesterdays' rally
[14:53] {Threei} end of thhe wrold again
[14:53] {Chaeron} stopped -.20
[14:54] {Threei} FNM maybe better candidate for bounce if holds 16
[14:55] {Threei} nope, not holding
[14:55] {Threei} FRE
[14:55] {Threei} TICKING LOWER, HEARING VAGUE RUMOR OF LARGE BLOCK BEING SHOPPED
[14:55] {Threei} - Reminder Cramer made cautious comments in various financial names including FNM and FRE on his Stop Trading segment on CNBC
[14:55] {Threei} and that's the reason?
[14:56] {Threei} vague rumor of large block?
[14:56] {Threei} going to try FNM
[15:00] {kazaam} tex l .05
[15:04] {kazaam} half +.10, half BE
[15:04] {Threei} panic in financials

[15:04] {Chaeron} end of world party vad?
[15:04] {Threei} yes sir
[15:04] {Chaeron} yea!!!!!
[15:04] {kazaam} at least we get a party with the end of the world, that counts for something
[15:05] {Threei} yes, but just two days ago we had three a day
[15:05] {Threei} and today just one
[15:06] {dino} vad, forever unsatisfied
[15:06] {dino} leap stop to b/e
[15:13] {Threei} big bounce FNM
[15:14] {dino} fre at 10, wow
[15:16] {Threei} we need a nice clearance sale
[15:16] {Threei} not one day capitulastion wannabe
[15:16] {Threei} good sizeable selloff taking out the opverhead
[15:16] {Threei} then we can have real rally
[15:26] {dino} unless it just wears everybody out
[15:27] {Threei} and they all stop playing at all?
[15:27] {dino} isn't that how bear markets end, when nobody cares/pays attention
[15:27] {Threei} one of versions, yes
[15:29] {magoo} oitswearing me out..spinning my wheels
[15:33] {Threei} it is tiresome
[15:33] {Threei} but think of it in dino's terms
[15:34] {dino} out leap .50, +.40
[15:34] {Threei} when you shrug and turn away... that's exactly the moment when things change
[15:35] {dino} i'm feeling that way
[15:35] {Threei} it's not a first time we go through churning periods, right?
[15:35] {Threei} they always were followed by big reward periods
[15:35] {dino} yes
[15:35] {Threei} and this churn served as great educational environment
[15:36] {dino} just disappointed in myself last few days
[15:36] {dino} my buy dips -6% sell rips +6% failed me
[15:36] {Threei} if you learned to keep your bacon safe during this chop chop
[15:36] {magoo} me too dino..down mon..up tues..down wed
[15:36] {Threei} normal market rewards you greatly when it finally comes
