Nov 25 2008

Somewhat boring and mildly profitable day. Just 5 trades, 4 of them wins, 1 stop. Couple worked nicely, particularly UAUA for 40 cents. Boring though. Though profitable. Even though boring. But I am willing to yawn on my way to the bank.

[08:59] {Threei}  C formed JBE
[08:59] {Threei}  .30 -.42
[08:59] {dino} watch the gap, imo
[08:59] {Threei}  premarket is not the best time for technical setups of course
[09:00] {KSystems} Good morning!
[09:01] {Threei}  KS :)
[09:04] {Threei}  UAUA
[09:04] {Threei}  SEES Q4 ACOUNTING CHARGES TRIMMING PASSENGER REVENUE BY $64M

[09:18] {dptl} good morning all
[09:19] {lisa_jay} 10 am Paulson and 12 Obama on news.
[09:19] {Threei}  dp :)
[09:19] {Threei}  yeah... talking heads add uncertainty
[09:21] {dino} ya think? lol
[09:21] {Threei}  well, look... having all these guys stating obvious left and right, I ahve to comptete somehow
[09:21] {Threei}  compete
[09:22] {Threei}  you have to agree - it's hard to beat the guy who says "we are in crisis"
[09:22] {Threei}  the best thing I could think of is, "today is Nov 25"
[09:24] {Threei}  (FR) FRENCH PM: FRANCE WILL SHORTLY UNVEIL MEASURES TO AID THE AUTO INDUSTRY SOON, REITERATES THAT EUROPE NEEDS A LARGE STIMULUS PACKAGE
[09:28] {Geo} I guess we should trade today
[09:28] {Threei}  see? competition grows
[09:29] {Threei}  working assumption so far, pullback, then rally continuation
[09:30] {Threei}  watching UAUA for sharp pullback
[09:31] {Threei}  possible entry around 9.20
[09:32] {Threei}  wow
[09:32] {Threei}  what was that
[09:35] {Threei}  first attempt at entry, C around .20
[09:36] {Threei}  if not losing ,30 anymore then .40 break is entry
[09:36] {Threei}  more risky than pure pullback
[09:38] {dino} rimm blood
[09:39] {Threei}  WHITE HOUSE ECON ADVISOR LAZEAR: NOTES THAT NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SAVINGS LEVELS TO GO UP -CNBC
[09:40] {Threei}  hh?

[09:42] {dino} is it ever then?
[09:42] {Threei}  go out and shop to help economy?
[09:43] {lisa_jay} C still valid Vad? Buy at .20
[09:43] {Threei}  not price per se
[09:43] {Threei}  it's a support zone, need it to stabilize there
[09:44] {Threei}  and market to establish pullback bottom and start upward move
[09:44] {Threei}  neither happened yet
[09:46] {Threei}  if market shows strength here, let's modify play: .31 entry if stays above .20
[09:49] {Threei}  UAUA amazingly strong
[09:49] {Threei}  no pullback to speak of for entry
[09:49] {Geo} cal too
[09:53] {Threei}  JNPR
[09:53] {Threei}  watching for entry for bounce

[10:00] {Threei}  - prior revised from 38.0 to 38.8
[10:00] {Threei}  cool... consumers are confident
[10:00] {Threei}  lol
[10:01] {Threei}  and hey, they have all the reasons to be:
[10:01] {Threei}  *NOV RICHMOND FED MANUFACTURING INDEX: -38 V -27E
[10:01] {Threei}  (US) TREASURY SEC PAULSON: PLEDGES TO USE ALL TOOLS AVAILABLE TO SLOW THE ECONOMIC SPILLOVER
[10:01] {Threei}  - Asset-backed securities are essentially frozen
[10:01] {Threei}  can I see his toolbox?
[10:02] {dino} mcd stopped/cov .80, -.30
[10:02] {Threei}  more reasons for confidence:
[10:02] {Threei}  FDIC: TROUBLED BANK LIST GREW TO 171 IN Q3, V 117 Q/Q
[10:04] {Threei}  more from amazing Paulson:
[10:04] {Threei}  NEW FACILITY IS AIMED AT RESTORING AFFORDABLE MORTGAGE FINANCE
[10:04] {Threei}  - The lack of consumer credit is weakening economy, asset-backed securities are essentially frozen.
[10:04] {Threei}  - Warns it will take time to work thorugh the many economic problems faced by the economy.
[10:04] {Threei}  - The $20B for consumer credit is targeted at reducing the cost of small business loans.
[10:04] {Threei}  I give up
[10:04] {Threei}  I am no master of stating the obvious anymore
[10:04] {Threei}  this beats anything I could ever come up with:
[10:04] {Threei}  Warns it will take time to work thorugh the many economic problems faced by the economy
[10:05] {hawkfan4} lol
[10:05] {Threei}  and if he alone was not enough to beat me:
[10:06] {Threei}  FDIC'S BAIR: CHALLENGING CREDIT SITUATION WILL CONTINUE IN NEAR FUTURE
