[09:17] {_xzap} I run VMware on it now. So you're saying I need Bootcamp to run the mIRC on it ?
[09:18] {peterg} Not sure
[09:18] {peterg} maybe I can run miRC on mac; you say not?

[09:26] {Threei} dp :)
[09:28] {_xzap} hi dp
[09:29] {dptl} morning :)
[09:29] {Threei} NCC shows more strength
[09:29] {Threei} watch for sharp selling at the open
[09:29] {Threei} it often happens on these little finnies
[09:29] {Threei} and almost invariably presents a good entry point
[09:29] {Threei} for immdiate bounce
[09:31] {cosmo} FFIV tests 23.20 soon ... i think
[09:32] {Threei} here it goes NCC
[09:32] {Threei} 2.60 - 2.70 area I'd guess
[09:32] {magoo} closer to .50?
[09:32] {Threei} usually they bounce off premarkett low
[09:33] {Threei} 2.60 in this case
[09:33] {_xzap} .52 is my pivot
[09:33] {Threei} got .62
[09:33] {magoo} in .64
[09:34] {hawkfan4} .65, still groggy i guess
[09:34] {Threei} lol
[09:34] {Threei} takes a bit too long... usually they jump right back
[09:35] {Threei} 2.59 stop
[09:36] {magoo} out .72
[09:36] {Threei} offering .85
[09:36] {Threei} risk is miniscule

[11:53] {Threei} sure
[11:53] {Threei} recovery would come fast and furious
[11:53] {_xzap} that's what I wanted to see Vad, close down 800 y'day and a BIG sell of today
[11:54] {Threei} yeah... yesterday big bounce precluded that scenario
[11:54] {Threei} and got us in today's uncertainty
[11:54] {Threei} it shouldn't last longer than a day though
[11:54] {Threei} tomorrow will have a direction
[11:55] {_xzap} I want to see the Dow test 7500
[11:56] {Threei} volume is ridiculously low today
[11:56] {_xzap} I think trading is done til 3 PM

[12:19] {Threei} and don't want to get trapped again
[12:20] {Threei} same way as yesterday, it feels that once real power returns to play, market will be ramped up
[12:20] {Threei} maybe let's do it this way:
[12:21] {Threei} if market starts showing atronger upticks, take half lots for longer hold, not for scalps
[12:21] {Threei} for now it's just aimless wandering, no sense in trying to play it
[12:49] {Threei} jeez
[12:50] {Threei} lost power again
[12:50] {Threei} am I here?

[13:45] {Threei} - at the Sept meeting, the FOMC left rates on hold at 2.00% in a unanimous vote and stated:
[13:45] {Threei} - financial market strains have increased significantly.
[13:45] {Threei} - will act as needed to promote stability, inflation to moderate this year and next.
[13:45] {Threei} - Growth has slowed recently due to slowing household spending
[13:45] {Threei} - Upside risks to inflation are a concern, substantial easing of policy and liquidity measures should promote moderate growth.
[13:45] {Threei} - Turmoil likely to weigh on growth for next few quarters.
[13:46] {_xzap} If AA misses big today maybe we'll get that big sell off tomorrow
[13:46] {Threei} my feel is,
[13:46] {_xzap} FWLY still hugging that 28 sup
[13:47] {_xzap} FWLT
[13:47] {Threei} if that happens, we will start seeing market fragmentation
