[08:34] {cosmo} EBAY: eBay's Q2 was in line with expectations, but Q3 guidance is weak, and will disappoint; shares are down 6% after hours. Sales increased 20% year-over-year, and net income jumped 22%, aided by share buybacks.
[08:35] {cosmo} off 11% now
[08:35] {Threei} you'd think in wseakening economy Ebay should benefit
[08:36] {cosmo} hmmm
[08:36] {Threei} The Financial Times noted overnight that some government funds have cut their USD exposure.
[08:36] {Threei} that's interesting

[09:58] {brian3579} first profitable week thank you vad
[09:58] {Threei} love to hear that brian
[09:59] {Threei} notice,
[09:59] {Threei} you start profitng at times when the world is hurting
[09:59] {brian3579} small but its a start
[09:59] {Threei} this is very significant
[09:59] {Threei} it means you are not a part of crowd anymore
[10:00] {Threei} you move to the smart money side
[10:00] {brian3579} your books and help and hard work mad the difference
[10:00] {brian3579} made
[10:00] {Threei} JULY PHILADELPHIA FED: -16.3 V -15E
[10:01] {Threei} difference is made by you... I provided the necessary resources but nothing works by itself
[10:01] {Threei} - Prices Paid: 75.6 v 69.3 prior (highest reading since 1980)
[10:02] {Threei} - Employment: -7.3 v -6.9 prior
[10:02] {dino} uso, oih rally
[10:02] {Threei} yeah... USO needs to come down again to provide fuel for market
[10:02] {Threei} as long as USO remains strong, it's a drag
[10:05] {Threei} I'd say, we picked exactly right moment to get on sideline
[10:06] {Threei} very tempted by LEH off 18
[10:06] {Threei} want to see market start recovering though
[10:06] {dino} dwsn sm wide l .00
[10:07] {magoo} pretty nasty selloff there
[10:07] {Threei} if I miss it, I always have dave to slap
06[10:07] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[10:07] {Threei} market is still selling
[10:08] {Threei} whoa USO
[10:08] {dino} oih +6
[10:16] {laserdave1} nice move down
[10:16] {laserdave1} wow
[10:16] {laserdave1} that was crazy
[10:17] {magoo} 100 sh long CME .19 VERY RISKY
[10:17] {Threei} anyone took LEH off 14?
[10:17] {magoo} was watching
[10:17] {magoo} missed
[10:17] {Threei} perfect hit on a support level just when market started rebounding
[10:18] {Threei} the only problem was,
[10:18] {Threei} it jumped off support so rapidly
[10:18] {Threei} you had to just take it on a blind faith that it would hold
[10:29] {dino} sglp
[10:31] {Threei} MF LIFTS GLOBAL GROWTH FORECAST TO 4.1% ROM 3.7% PRIOR
[10:31] {Threei} IMF
[10:31] {magoo} stopped CME -200 bux
[10:31] {magoo} this is discouraging action here
[10:32] {Threei} LEH becomes interesting again

[10:37] {Threei} + .18 peter?
[10:37] {Threei} sounds like you chased it quite high
[10:37] {GeoArb} the first 15 mins i discard as garbage
[10:37] {peterg} this setup is too slow
[10:38] {peterg} my "free" software from fidelity
[10:38] {Threei} OK, this is pure danger
[10:38] {Threei} you will pay dearly for that free setup
[10:38] {peterg} too clunky to use, executions are good and timely, but the fooling around to set up the order is tedious and studpid
[10:39] {Threei} ask dave for demo
[10:39] {Threei} you'll be amazed by7 the difference
[10:40] {peterg} Dave Pelosi?

[10:45] {magoo} u need to harness this poweer u have
