[08:42] {Threei} hi fernp, welcome to the room
[08:42] {fernp} thanks
[08:43] {Threei} while there is time before action, new post on trading psychology:
[08:43] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/index.html
[08:44] {Threei} if you haven't read previous ones, start there since it's a series and by itself it will be somewhat out of context
[08:44] {Threei} series starts with http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/02/psychology-101.html
[08:47] {magoo} morning
[08:47] {Threei} magoo
[08:47] {Threei} notice: no smilefor you untill I know you went and read latest blog post
[08:48] {Threei} as Seinfield would put it, smile nazi in action.... "No Smile for You!!"
[08:49] {magoo} vad, is replay working?not much to scroll up and read last few sessions
[08:49] {Threei} do you see a few lines before your connection today?
[08:49] {GeoArb} nope
[08:50] {magoo} yeah, only a few
[08:50] {Threei} you shouldn't Geo, magoo should
[08:50] {GeoArb} oh
[08:50] {Threei} if magoo sees them replay is working
[08:50] {Threei} there is a time limit on replay
[08:50] {GeoArb} :)
[08:50] {Threei} there was nothing over weekend
[08:51] {Threei} so as first who said something after weekend you won't see anything
[08:51] {Threei} magoo on the other hand connected after several lines of exchange
[08:51] {Threei} those are what he should see
[08:52] {magoo} ok, but this is true, i can't get your latest blog yet, cannot display page
[08:52] {magoo} any get it?
[08:52] {Threei} hmmm

[08:56] {magoo} correct, happened fri too..then i got in in the afternopon
[08:57] {Threei} well, this issue got resolved for me once I switched my computer from static router IP to "obtain automatically"... but I don't want to get you into fiddling with network settings
[08:58] {Threei} probably it's time to think of migrating to another hosting
[08:58] {Threei} issues become more frequent here
[08:58] {Threei} used to have none in a year or two
[08:59] {dino} gm all
[08:59] {Threei} dino :)
[08:59] {Threei} I am just wary of making these decisions lightly, you know how often cure is worse than disease :)

[09:07] {Threei} last friday technician came to see what happened to my call waiting - when switching between callers, one of them was being dropped
[09:07] {Threei} what do you, it fixed itself between my call for service and his arrival
[09:08] {cosmo} gremlins maybe?

[09:53] {Threei} ESLR
[09:53] {Threei} watching where it finds support on this little retreat
[09:54] {Threei} .42 long trigger if holding above .30

[12:46] {judijim} vad, enjoyed blog. False sense of pride is first characteristic attacked by market. The easiest person to deceive is onself.
[12:47] {Threei} I can feel I hear professional talking :)
[12:47] {judijim} rational (reasoning) thinking can prove expensive

[13:40] {Threei} no breadth I'd think
[13:40] {Threei} those of you who use breadth indicators can check and correct me if mistaken
[13:41] {Threei} volume is questionable too
[13:42] {dino} y
[13:43] {bruce} nice one dino

[10:13] {esemde} Vad may I ask a question ......did you do a full lot on AKNS or more
[10:13] {Threei} a little bit more
[10:13] {Threei} not double
[10:13] {dino} uhal
[10:13] {Threei} welcome dp
[10:14] {Threei} stop was tight enough for double, but stock is a bit on a thin side
[10:14] {Threei} so I compromised
[10:14] {esemde} what makes you decide to go more than a full lot....
[10:14] {Threei} size of a stop is first consideration
[10:15] {Threei} since I have predetermined amount of what I am willing to lose on a trade
[10:15] {Threei} possible slippage is next
[10:15] {Threei} so I balance them in order to keep my risk within that max amount
[10:15] {Threei} nice ESLR
[10:15] {Threei} good job bruce

[14:04] {dino} darn dwsn shook me out too soon
[14:06] {GeoArb} huh LEh not available to short in IB
[14:07] {dino} hmmm
[14:07] {Threei} stopped
[14:07] {Threei} RMBS
[14:07] {Threei} TO FILE INJUNCTION AGAINST HYNIX TO PREVENT FURTHER CHIP PRODUCTION WITH INFRINGED RMBS PATENTS - WIRE HEADLINE
[14:08] {GeoArb} i guess good thing
[14:08] {GeoArb} :)
[14:08] {Threei} not really
[14:08] {Threei} remember your BSC short?
[14:08] {dino} rmbs, the lawsuit company, reminds me of amd
[14:08] {GeoArb} IB has been tigheting margins too
[14:08] {GeoArb} now that i did on laser :D
[14:09] {dino} ibkr
[14:09] {Threei} now imagine you don't have shares to short and watch it dropping multipints
[14:09] {GeoArb} yeah IB seems more and more like a non scalping broker
[14:09] {Threei} never was
[14:10] {GeoArb} i think ill keep it as backup
[14:10] {GeoArb} its just with laser i cant get distracted
[14:10] {GeoArb} a serious impediment at work :D
[14:10] {Threei} sorry, don't understand
[14:10] {GeoArb} as in laser its better to do stops manually
[14:11] {GeoArb} i have to keep watching a position
[14:11] {GeoArb} not good when boss walks in
[14:11] {Threei} you had problems with stops?
[14:11] {GeoArb} button with IB sends brackt target and stop with open
[14:11] {GeoArb} in laser its a separate task
[14:11] {GeoArb} so i prefer manual in laser
[14:11] {GeoArb} so more involved
[14:12] {GeoArb} but laser is much much much faster
[14:13] {dino} calm
[14:13] {GeoArb} as button with IB automaticall trows out stop and target i can do other work too.... doesnt work for fast scalps thoug
[14:13] {GeoArb} i gotta page laserdave and eat crow
[14:14] {Threei} you still have to enter your stop and target?
[14:14] {Threei} or it's predefined somehow?
[14:14] {GeoArb} in button its predefined with IB
[14:14] {Threei} wow
[14:14] {GeoArb} a percentage of margin
[14:14] {Threei} no way
[14:14] {GeoArb} yeah
[14:14] {Threei} that's a wrong way to do it
[14:15] {GeoArb} or you can choose ticks
[14:15] {GeoArb} or money
[14:15] {Threei} all are wrong
[14:15] {GeoArb} ??
[14:15] {Threei} what is it that defines your stop?
[14:15] {GeoArb} once its in i click the right price and it automatically adjusts
[14:16] {GeoArb} so its always wider than your and then i click twice to narrow it to yours
[14:16] {Threei} what do yuo need to use in order to find the right place for a stop?
[14:16] {GeoArb} i know :( supp /res
[14:16] {GeoArb} all this does is throw disaster stop out..... then i click and adjust
[14:16] {Threei} so what do all those parameters have with it?
[14:16] {GeoArb} meaning?
[14:16] {Threei} have to do
[14:17] {Threei} in each particular case it's a certain price level
[14:17] {Threei} it's not defined by %
[14:17] {Threei} or money
[14:17] {Threei} or amount of clicks
[14:17] {GeoArb} yes i agree
[14:17] {Threei} and if you need to enter price manually
[14:17] {GeoArb} the concept of manually doing it vs automatic protection when you are at work is what i am getting at
[14:17] {Threei} it's the same as with laser
[14:18] {Threei} so why sacrifice the most xrucial element, speed
[14:18] {GeoArb} maybe i am doing it wrong in lasr
[14:18] {GeoArb} OMS
[14:18] {Threei} I don't know how it's a hassle... click, enter prices, click
[14:19] {GeoArb} hmmmmmm.... (ill do reasearch and come back)
[14:19] {Threei} whatever you come up with,
[14:19] {Threei} don't confuse the convinience with correct way to trade
[14:19] {GeoArb} ok
[14:20] {GeoArb} TY
[14:20] {Threei} sure
[14:21] {Threei} I hate those useless features slapped on by brokers to create "bells and wistles"... trailing stops that trail by the wrong principle... brackets that have nothing to do with market movement
[14:22] {Threei} it's like GPS with great MP3/audiobooks playback, currency converters,
[14:22] {Threei} world clock

[08:52] {magoo} coin moving vad
[08:53] {Threei} morning ese, you got my e-mail?
[08:53] {Threei} no news on COIN
[08:53] {Threei} SEED news is questionable
[08:54] {esemde} hi vad not yet....i'll check.....I went on email withdrawl for a few days before going back to work again today
[08:54] {Threei} [SEED] Origen Agritech Ltd. Reports Q1 -$0.09 v -$0.17 y/y, R $3.61M v $2.47M y/y

[09:01] {Threei} Geo :)
[09:02] {bruce} thanks vad- not much on t &s yet
[09:02] {bruce} see what happens on open
[09:03] {Threei} yeah, premarket spread on it is not very conducive for early trading :)
[09:03] {Threei} SOLF is touching yesterday's high
[09:05] {dptl} good morning all
[09:05] {Threei} dp :)
[09:05] {Threei} COIN looks determined
[09:05] {Threei} looking for pullback entry
[09:06] {Threei} market is lukewarm so far
[09:06] {Threei} but with horrible durable goods numbers it's holding very well
[09:06] {Threei} so maybe another counter-common-sense rally is its intention
[09:06] {dino} gm all
[09:07] {Threei} dino :)
[09:07] {dino} :)
[09:22] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:22] {Threei} thtt :)

[09:25] {cosmo} CLWR @ pre mkt high = 16 fwiw
[09:26] {cosmo} hmmm
[09:26] {cosmo} 17.50 spike
[09:27] {Threei} SOLF is trying
[09:28] {magoo} been tough trader lately
[09:28] {Threei} typical pullback stock
[09:28] {Threei} most of breakouts on it kill a buyer with reasonable stop
[09:29] {Threei} same for COIN, SEED, most solars
[09:29] {bruce} I like solf long -would be nice to see more volume
[09:32] {lumdus} good morning all.
[09:32] {Threei} lum :)
[09:32] {magoo} lum:)
[09:33] {esemde} BRCM...watching for pullback
[09:33] {bruce} celg along vad?
[09:34] {bruce} forget it - lost .40 suppoprt
[09:34] {Threei} yeah
[09:34] {magoo} was stalking cOIN but missed entry
[09:35] {bruce} brcm has potential ese
[09:36] {magoo} sharp RIMM fall vad
[09:36] {Threei} market retreat is holding them all back for now
[09:36] {Threei} feels to me like we are bound to reverse and jump up
[09:36] {Threei} but let's wait for confirmation
[09:36] {Threei} if it comes, nice rally will be in order
[09:37] {Threei} COIN pullback to support
[09:38] {Threei} if you got it closer to 11, stop is just under it
[09:38] {Threei} and look to partial out or exit on a spike over .40
[09:39] {esemde} BRCM long .18
[09:39] {esemde} 1/2 lot
[09:39] {Threei} stop under .10 BRCM for scalpers, under 19 for sane ones
[09:40] {dino} titn again
[09:40] {Threei} nice spike NQ, now little retreat and break of 1825 should set rally in motion
[09:41] {Threei} see SOLF pullback?
[09:41] {Threei} beyond what normal trader can stopmach
[09:41] {esemde} out BRCM .34
[09:41] {esemde} +.16
[09:41] {Threei} wtg
[09:42] {esemde} should have full lot
[09:42] {Threei} RIMM long on a first sign of NQ strength
[09:42] {esemde} that was a dino play.....don't normally try that
[09:43] {Threei} if loses .70, wait for deeper pullback
[09:43] {Threei} shouldn't though
[09:43] {dino} gj es
[09:44] {Threei} 1820 - 1825 is not NQ defining range
[09:44] {esemde} tks
[09:44] {Threei} anyone got RIMM, let me know
[09:45] {magoo} out RIMM here .88 TY vad
[09:45] {magoo} couldn't post entry
[09:45] {Threei} beautiful
[09:45] {magoo} took .40
[09:45] {Threei} should pull back now
[09:46] {dino} s c .60, stop .87
[09:46] {magoo} i just laid it out there:)
[09:47] {Threei} wow, not much of a pullback
[09:48] {magoo} RIMM dishes out scalpers regrett on a regular basis
[09:48] {Threei} COIN long here
[09:48] {Threei} stop under .60
[09:49] {magoo} in coin.85
[09:50] {Threei} market lost support, hard to tell what's next for now
[09:50] {magoo} should i bail it?'
[09:50] {Threei} why?
[09:50] {Threei} stop is in place
[09:50] {magoo} [09:50] {Threei} market lost support, hard to tell what's next for now
[09:51] {Threei} taken position is being played by its logical structure
[09:52] {Threei} this general comment is for the next possible move
[09:52] {magoo} k
[09:52] {Threei} break of 11 should bering a spike to exit into
[09:53] {Threei} stop to .65 meanwhile
[09:57] {Threei} here we go
[09:57] {magoo} out .17 TY boss
[09:57] {Threei} welcome sir
[09:57] {magoo} plus something good

[09:59] {dino} c bstop to b/e
[10:00] {Threei} FEB NEW HOME SALES: 590 V 578KE
[10:00] {bruce} sti dino
[10:01] {Threei} don't get tempted by COIN break
[10:01] {Threei} risk is enormous
[10:02] {dino} stopped c .50, +.10
[10:02] {Threei} if you feel enticed, just think of how original buyer of first morning break at .20-.25 felt on a drop to 10.66
[10:02] {magoo} i felt lousy he he
[10:03] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:03] {Chaeron} trouts already flyin'... yep, I'm in the right room... GM all
[10:03] {Threei} did that make you feel beter?
[10:03] * magoo slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout
[10:04] {Threei} hi chaeron :)
[10:04] {magoo} oh yeah:)
[10:04] {Chaeron} :)
[10:05] {Threei} JASO
[10:05] {Threei} small shares .50 break long
[10:05] {Threei} stop under .30
[10:06] {Threei} set limit .55, do NOT buy until .50 melts down
[10:07] {Threei} that was a warning for overly aggressive ones who know who they are
[10:07] {magoo} ggggrrrrrrrrrrrr
[10:07] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:07] {Threei} see that offer by INET at .50?
[10:07] {magoo} yup
[10:08] {Threei} that's what we want to see getting taken out before we jump in
[10:08] {Chaeron} and EDGX too
[10:08] {magoo} its real
[10:09] {Threei} yes
[10:09] {Threei} very good
[10:09] {Threei} if it chews through we have valid play
[10:09] {Threei} see how sellers undercut it?
[10:10] {magoo} yes..this is text book vad
[10:10] {magoo} should be videoing it
[10:10] {dino} fmcn l .50
[10:11] {Threei} can't... finhger on a trigger each time as .50 is an offer :)
[10:11] {magoo} have your cat put paw on buy..
[10:11] {Threei} and I think I have a video in scalping course on fine-tuuning entry by level 2
[10:12] {Threei} yup
[10:12] {bruce} fmcn stop .09 or so?
[10:12] {Threei} while it retreated a reminder for entry technique for this kind:
[10:12] {Threei} as your trigger becomes an offer and you feel it may scroll very fast
[10:12] {Threei} point cursor at buy,
[10:12] {Threei} depress let button,
[10:13] {Threei} keep it depressd,
[10:13] {Threei} let go if entry triggers
[10:13] {Threei} if no trigger, move cursor away, then let go
[10:13] {magoo} thats pretty advanced..lets see curtis try that in scottrade he he
[10:13] {Threei} make sure cursor is NOT pointing at Buy button when you let mouse button go
[10:13] {GeoArb} no hotkeys users here?
[10:13] {Threei} there are
[10:14] {magoo} nah..i mouse
[10:14] {magoo} u mouse vad?
[10:14] {Threei} it's just that hotkeys don't require any special technique
[10:14] {dptl} i use hot keys
[10:14] {Threei} so I recite this for mouse users
[10:14] {GeoArb} dptl !!

[10:15] {Threei} with markety help COIN is 12 bound today
[10:16] {magoo} where to grab it tho? pullbk i guress
[10:18] {Threei} closer to .20 would be much more safety
[10:18] {Threei} and closer to 11 is no-brain entry - under two conditions:
[10:18] {Threei} 1. market is not dropping like tomorrow would never come,
[10:19] {Threei} and 2. COIN drops in it sharply enouigh to constitute capitulatory type of selling

[08:57] {Threei} that's ABPI
[08:58] {dino} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} dino :)
[08:59] {dino} good news and bad news on the trading front
[08:59] {Threei} ?
[09:00] {dino} ok, since vacation, 10 days of trading. good news all positive
[09:00] {dino} bad news, only 72% of daily goal
[09:00] {dino} so, i need to adapt a bit
[09:01] {Threei} alternatively,
[09:01] {Threei} it could be simply an outcome of abnormally volatile markets
[09:02] {dino} i have mentioned that to magoo, but he cuts me no slack whatsoever
[09:02] {Threei} if that's the case, adjustments should be light, in order not to overdo it
[09:02] {Threei} and face troubles as market returns to norm
[09:03] {Threei} I am a bit wary of attempts to overhaul too big part of approach with each market turn
[09:03] {dino} thinking the same, i understand. there is one other factor, i am trading smaller size because of the whips
[09:03] {dino} that could be it
[09:03] {Threei} when radical things happen then yes, deviation from old norm are too big
[09:03] {Threei} for instance, when market went to decimals from fractions
[09:03] {Threei} that was kind of big and permanent change
[09:04] {Threei} gotta adjust or wilt and die
[09:04] {dino} y
[09:04] {Threei} current change is simply change of market conditions, we go through those all the time
[09:04] {Threei} logical chain is exactly as you said,
[09:04] {Threei} increased volatility made you control risk tighter bu decreasing size
[09:05] {Threei} which in turn led to diminished return
[09:05] {GeoArb} good morning
[09:05] {Threei} Geo
[09:05] {magoo} TMA vad, news
[09:06] {dino} that is most likely the cause. ty vad
[09:06] {Threei} Inc Proposes up to $1.35B private placement of Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, due 2015; suspends dividend on preferred stock
[09:06] {Threei} - The deal includes an interest rate of 18%, adjusted to 12% upon the satisfaction by the company of certain conditions.
[09:06] {Threei} - The proceeds of this proposed private placement are intended to satisfy a key contingency of the Override Agreement Thornburg Mortgage announced on March 19, whereby the company agreed to raise a minimum of net proceeds of $948M in new capital on or before March 27.
[09:06] {Threei} - Additionally, the company will be conducting a tender offer for at least 90% of its outstanding preferred stock at a price of $5 per $25 of liquidation value, plus, upon shareholder approval of additional authorized shares, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5% of the company's common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (reducing the private placement investors' interest to 85%), or, if shareholder approval is not obtained, alternative consideration.
[09:07] {Threei} radical change is something that makes me uneasy dino... natural for people from the country that went through revolution of 1917 {G}
[09:08] {dino} y
[09:08] {Threei} if things simply don't work, OK.... reworking is needed
[09:09] {Threei} not your case by any stretch of imagination
[09:12] {Threei} be back in 5
[09:18] {Threei} not much enthusiasm on SIRI/XMSR
[09:18] {Threei} buyer at 3.80 will have to put it in long term account it seems
[09:24] {magoo} u watching TMA vad?
[09:25] {Threei} yes
[09:25] {Threei} 1.80 - 2 range so far
[09:26] {Threei} if loses 1.80 will probably need deeper pullback
[09:28] {magoo} how many shares will u hit IF u do
[09:28] {magoo} 3k?
[09:29] {Threei} depends on setup

[11:05] {Threei} I don't have any
[11:05] {dino} ulta
[11:06] {Threei} by whom chaeron?

[11:06] {Threei} 09:43:43 ADMIN7 --} (All): EDGX experiencing streetwide market data issues - hide for now.
[11:06] {Threei} 09:38:33 ADMIN7 --} (All): Delays in EDGX quotes - will advise. Hide for now in Hidden MM tab.
[11:07] {Chaeron} oh thanks... I don't see that notification
[11:07] {Threei} watch alerts for this kind of information
[11:08] {judijim} we didn't see alert either. traded rimm l +.21
[11:08] {bruce} for bsc break of .91 looks like early entry opportunity
[11:11] {Threei} invaliadted as a break play for now
[11:21] {bruce} lvs looks like long candidate dino
[11:22] {dino} y
[11:24] {dino} l sm ave .35
[11:27] {bruce} you talkin lvs? if so stop under 80 I'd think
[11:29] {dino} y stop .07
[11:30] {bruce} looking good so far - not in yet
[11:35] {dino} idcc
[11:36] {bruce} yes - saw the spike
[11:36] {magoo} solf hitting scanner
[11:37] {Threei} yeah, invalidated our setup earlier... not a breakout stock
[11:37] {Threei} moves off pullbacks, fails breakouts
[11:38] {Threei} if this pattern holds, will look for entry around .50
[11:40] {GeoArb} hi, quick Q, I have the four scanners... is it among them or custom?
[11:40] {Threei} NOKIA CFO: LESS OPTIMISTIC THAN IDCC IN SETTLEMENT, MARKET MAY HAVE 'OVERESTIMATED' CHANCES OF SETTLEMENT WITH CO. - INTERVIEW COMMENTS
[11:40] {GeoArb} ahh saw it on JBE
[11:41] {bruce} you still holding all lvs dino?
[11:41] {Threei} my favorite kind of questions
[11:42] {Threei} you ask, you answer... all I do is nod :)
[11:44] {bruce} nvda long scalp candidate here vad
[11:45] {Threei} with .14 stop?
[11:45] {bruce} yes - small - probaly won't move far
[11:45] {Threei} pretty much market dependent...
[11:46] {Threei} and market is a wierdo here
[11:47] {bruce} aint it always?
[11:48] {Threei} lol
[11:48] {Threei} sometimes it's a wierdo with patterns of wierdness, and sometimes it's a plain wierdo
[11:48] {Threei} right now it's a plain wierdo
[11:49] {magoo} remember when...............
[11:49] {magoo} weirdo= queer=gay=sex=
[11:50] {bruce} lol - \
[11:50] {bruce} leave it to mags
[11:51] {Threei} SOLF pullback was too shallow for me to enter... too bad
[11:52] {Threei} I would put it this way:
[11:53] {Threei} when you have determination in market you get much more easy to read trades
[11:53] {Threei} it's like market has a mission
[11:53] {Threei} today it doesn't so far,
[11:53] {Threei} it's more like waiting for something
[11:53] {bruce} a mission - like mags raiding ber fridge?
[11:54] {Threei} exactly
[11:54] {Threei} dertermination, purpose, decisive pace
[11:54] {Threei} eyes on a target
[11:55] {bruce} k - yes a bear stalking a beer
[11:55] {Threei} beer be gotten
[11:55] {bruce} single minded focus and purpose
[11:56] {magoo} hiccup : )
[11:59] {Threei} ok, that's the ultimate iroy in my eyes:
[12:00] {Threei} irony
[12:00] {Threei} 11:50am [UPS] Hearing taken off of Focus List at Bear Stearns
[12:01] {magoo} the cat watching the cannary he he
[12:01] {Threei} just how seriously can estimates be taken when they are coming from a company that steered its own action in such disastrous way
[12:19] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[12:19] {Threei} let it pullback, don't chase
[12:20] {Threei} stop under .30

[12:52] {Chaeron} checking to see if you're drunk? :)
[12:52] {Threei} no, just need to wash down this last shot of vodka with something
[12:52] {Chaeron} scotch
[12:53] {Threei} good idea
[12:54] {Threei} I really need to be more carefull with my occasionally (read 99% of the time) wierd sense of humor... with logs being publc domain, rumors of my drinking will not be long behind :)
[12:55] {bruce} lvs goinglong again
[13:11] {bruce} vtiv dino - don't think its done dropping yet but watching it
[13:12] {dino} hmm

[13:51] {Threei} I took a little, couldn't resist
[13:52] {magoo} where?
[13:52] {Threei} it has disgusting potential to trun into longer hold than day trade thouigh
[13:52] {Threei} 6.10
[13:52] {Threei} don't chase
[13:52] {Threei} it most lilely will give you another chance at that or much better price
[13:52] {Threei} pullbacks on it are hellish
[13:55] {Threei} [12:26] {Threei} my feeling is primary direction is upward now
[13:55] {dino} vtiv l .10
[13:55] {Threei} was that right feeling or what
[13:56] {Threei} and some say I am feelingless
[13:58] {Threei} can I cry about GILD?

[14:20] {magoo} i did not enter
[14:21] {Threei} OK, just thought maybe running comments were needed
[14:21] {magoo} was looking at rimm short scalp..no in tho
[14:23] {Threei} don't misunderstand me please:
[14:24] {Threei} I am not calling for SEED entry
[14:24] {Threei} if I were I would do it when I entered
[14:24] {Threei} it's very risky one and most likely not a daytrade
[14:25] {magoo} i scalped .17 cents on your very very first call off 6...thats it
[14:25] {Threei} wow really?
[14:25] {Threei} cool :)
[14:25] {magoo} just bummed i missed that monster RIMM move, we were in it 13.50 remrber?
[14:26] {Threei} no

[09:09] {lumdus} you didn't like my analysis but i told you i know how to write for the WSJ :)
[09:11] {Threei} I didn't like? I thought I told you to go right ahead and write for them :)
[09:12] {lumdus} but you didn't follow my analysis to buy and hold it.. did you ?
[09:12] {Threei} I don't buy and hold
[09:12] {lumdus} vad, you don't buy and hold, you don't buy bb stocks.. maybe you need to change your lifestyle ?
[09:12] {Threei} or maybe I don't? :)
[09:13] {Threei} my current one works for me alright
[09:13] {lumdus} but improving is always good. you know if you have a million dollar you want 2

[09:54] {Threei} called it as a swing trade twice
[09:55] {Threei} details are coming in
[09:55] {Threei} - Under the revised terms, each share of Bear Stearns common stock would be exchanged for 0.21753 shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock (up from 0.05473 shares), reflecting an implied value of approximately $10 per share of Bear Stearns common stock based on the closing price of JPMorgan Chase common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 20, 2008.
[09:55] {Threei} - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York''s $30B special financing associated with the transaction has also been amended so that JPMorgan Chase will bear the first $1B of any losses associated with the Bear Stearns assets being financed and the Fed will fund the remaining $29B on a non-recourse basis to JPMorgan Chase.
[09:56] {curtisweese} l aapl 134.50 stop 134.18 or so for me
[09:56] {Threei} - CEO: "We believe the amended terms are fair to all sides and reflect the value and risks of the Bear Stearns franchise, and bring more certainty for our respective shareholders, clients, and the marketplace. We look forward to a prompt closing and being able to operate as one company."

[10:10] {Threei} you trade for profits, so protect them
[10:11] {dino} exactlllllyyyyyy

[12:44] {Threei} btw guys, follow-up to previous post:
[12:44] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/03/can-you-afford-to-be-wrong-for-too-long.html
[12:44] {Threei} leave RIMM alone until it consolidates and breaks 112, and go read it
[12:47] {Threei} RIMM becomes good candidate if breaks while holdin'g above .70
[12:48] {magoo} 12 trigger?
[12:48] {Threei} 112
[12:51] {curtisweese} yay...msft is going to break HOD...come on! make me look smart
[12:52] {Threei} lol
[12:52] {Threei} curtis, when you are done with MSFT dcc me please
[12:52] {curtisweese} doh!!! it hit it and bounced off like a rubber ball :(
[12:52] {Threei} ah come on RIMM, trigger already
[12:53] {curtisweese} i break HOD, you break 112...deao
[12:53] {curtisweese} deal i mean
[12:53] {Threei} and don't forget to go to 113 when you do
[12:53] {Threei} 114 won't offend me either
[12:53] {Chaeron} (120)
[12:53] {Threei} that will be rather rude
[12:53] {Threei} since there is no way I would be able to keep it for that long :)
[12:54] {dino} stopped fmcn
[12:54] {Chaeron} shoot
[12:54] {bruce} yes - same dino
[12:54] {Threei} yeah, invalidated for now
[12:55] {bruce} fmcn may bounce long near here
[12:56] {dino} maybe
[12:56] {curtisweese} vad, will you look at msft...should i get out now? i doubled down at 29.10 so my average is about 29.15 at the moment.....it is at top now, so confused on what to ...hahah..i'm usually at bottom
[12:56] {Threei} you know what
[12:56] {curtisweese} my stop is now 29.22
[12:56] {Threei} doubling down is so bad thing to do,
[12:57] {curtisweese} well..there were other reasons
[12:57] {Threei} bounce that makes you even or profitable must be taken as a gift
[12:57] {Threei} and taekn with gratitude
[12:57] {curtisweese} good point
[12:57] {Threei} no matter what happens next
[12:57] {Threei} in overwhelming majority of cases averaging down is getting punished
[12:59] {Threei} curtis, dcc please
[13:00] {bruce} iesc may be short try again
[13:00] {bruce} eqix too dino
[13:00] {curtisweese} threei, i tried, but i'm doing it wrong i guess. click on your name, then dcc then...?
[13:00] {Threei} just doubleclick on my name
[13:01] {Threei} window will pop up
[13:01] {Threei} type in it
[13:05] {patience} gm RT :) Bruce, when you have a moment, please dcc
[13:05] {dino} most likely bruce, i'm just getting rinsed all day
[13:06] {dino} look fmcn now, sheesh
[13:06] {dino} brb
[13:07] {bruce} yes - watching - moved enough to stup us then continue
[13:07] {curtisweese} okay, back from my dcc where threei taught me the secrets of the market
[13:09] {curtisweese} market wants to go higher still?! wow
[13:10] {Threei} hard to say here
[13:10] {Threei} hesitates
[13:16] {Threei} guys, who is using laser,
[13:16] {Threei} have a look at V daily please
[13:16] {magoo} me
[13:17] {Threei} do you see crazy spike on its first day or your daily is normal?
[13:17] {Chaeron} normal
[13:17] {magoo} norm
[13:17] {Threei} hmmm... just me then
[13:17] {Threei} ty
[13:17] {judijim} we use laser also
[13:17] {Chaeron} even tho when I scroll over it it shows a hi of 199,000
[13:18] {Chaeron} that was my buy
[13:18] {Chaeron} :)
[13:18] {Threei} lol
[13:18] {curtisweese} lol!!
[13:18] {Laserdave1} yoru buy?
[13:18] {Chaeron} only 100shares... it's ok
[13:18] {Laserdave1} it was my sell
[13:18] {Chaeron} great job Dave :)
[13:18] {Laserdave1} why ty:)
[13:23] {Threei} BSC, 50/50 trade:
[13:24] {Threei} .99 short, .11 stop
[13:24] {Threei} only if you feel like going for coin toss
[13:24] {dino} iesc you were right bruce
[13:24] {curtisweese} you didn't short up around 13 because it was risky to keep going up at that point?
[13:25] {Threei} just didn't see any setup, and it was scorching hot
[13:26] {Threei} calmed down a bit now... still can pick up the pace, but stop is tight enough here
[13:26] {bruce} yes - hope you got it
[13:28] {Threei} invalidated
[13:32] {Threei} meaningless wandering within a channel... rather a scalp from low to high and back than breakout/breakdown at this point
[13:33] {Threei} we had a very good morning, no need to press now
[13:34] {Threei} keeping an eye on ESLR
[13:34] {Threei} no firm idea of a trade yet
[13:37] {curtisweese} bsc down at 12 again
[13:47] {curtisweese} my stop on msft is at 29.25...don't hit it!!! lol
[13:56] {magoo} vad, AAPL & RIMM
[13:57] {Threei} no read on either mags
[13:59] {Threei} RIMM needs 112 broken to become frenzied player again
[14:00] {Threei} but it's way too far from there
[14:00] {Threei} if market spikes, can take it aggressively of course
[14:00] {Threei} 60 break...
[14:00] {Threei} if holding above .40
[14:01] {Threei} so-so play, honestly
[14:01] {Threei} BSC however... picks up pace again
[14:03] {Threei} good thing RIMM invalidated
[14:03] {Threei} I would be fighting myself to take that trade
[14:04] {dino} eqix s break of .50
[14:06] {dino} infn sm s .70
[14:11] {judijim} what about amzn if hits 77.00
[14:11] {curtisweese} doh my stop is in jeopardy at 29.25....hold on bill hold on
[14:13] {judijim} forget amzn, we were watching:(
[14:17] {Threei} way too far from there, AMZN
[14:31] {Threei} watching GILD
[14:32] {Threei} .94 long if stays above .80
[14:39] {curtisweese} back!
[14:40] {curtisweese} ohhh.....bill has his company at the HOD, but can he break it.....stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode
[14:40] {curtisweese} i'm trying not to trade so much, but i'm just bored now :(
[14:41] {Threei} uh oh
[14:41] {Threei} bored curtis - that's something to be scared of
[14:41] {lumdus} curtis, better to be a bored rich man that a poor active man. In short, don't trade because you are bored. Go pick on your wife instead ..
[14:42] {curtisweese} hahhaah......look at msft....i should unload probably here....hmmmmm....i have held it for hours
[14:42] {bruce} hmm vad - that doesn't sound like a winningstrategy either
[14:42] {bruce} how about fighting w neighbour?
[14:42] {Threei} neither does kicking your cat
[14:43] {curtisweese} i have two cats! here kitty kitty...help me break the HOD
[14:43] {Threei} and I would take great offense on behalf of cat
[14:44] {dino} lol lum
[14:44] {curtisweese} woot! got it finally...now what....lol i just want msft to be up half as much as nasdaq :(
[14:44] {curtisweese} i mean percentagewise, not pointwise
[14:45] {Threei} points would be even better
[14:45] {curtisweese} hahah...moved my stop up to .29....lockin in profits Vaddy-D style!
[14:46] {Threei} lock'em da profits
[14:46] {Threei} da profits are to be locked
[14:48] {curtisweese} that BSC short would have been nice at 12 :(
[14:48] {curtisweese} prolly still nice at 11.73, but i'm chicken
[14:49] {Threei} it went to 12.50 before triggering
[14:49] {Threei} where would you place a stop...
[14:49] {curtisweese} losing like 20k
[14:50] {Threei} WM
[14:50] {Threei} S&P RAISES O/C LEVEL FOR WAMU'S COVERD BOND AAA RATINGS, AFIRMS RATING
[14:51] {Threei} uh oh
[14:51] {Threei} RIMM
[14:51] {Threei} JIM CRAMER MAKING POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THE STOCK - CNBC- Suggests buying stock ahead of next weeks earnings report.
[14:51] {Chaeron} oi
[14:51] {Threei} oy it is
[14:51] {lumdus} did jim cramer suggest to buy BSC ?
[14:51] {Threei} if history is any indication... RIMM goes to 60 {G}
[14:51] {Threei} yes lum...
[14:52] {curtisweese} stopped out of msft made $.18 sheesh that took awhile
[14:52] {Threei} beter than poke in the eye
[14:54] {Threei} GILD invalidated
[14:55] {Threei} breakout on daily remains very attractrively looking, hopefully finishes close to high today and lets us in tomorrow
[14:55] {curtisweese} s aapl super tight stop
[14:58] {curtisweese} out aapl short made $.12
[14:59] {curtisweese} omg...out a second too early again...jeez
[15:03] {bruce} xmsr spike
[15:03] {Threei} XMSR
[15:03] {Threei} SIRI merger approval
[15:05] {Threei} XMSR/SIRI RECEIVES U.S. ANTITRUST APPROVAL; DOJ FINDS NO EVIDENCE OF HARM TO COMPETITION- deal still needs FCC approva
[15:05] {dino} cov eqix .00, +.50
[15:09] {curtisweese} s aapl 139.42 tight stop
[15:09] {curtisweese} out lost .13
[15:09] {Threei} SIRI practically baack into support
[15:10] {Threei} traded at 3 before news
[15:10] {Threei} looks scalpable with 2.95 stop
[15:11] {patience} bruce, please see dcc

[15:15] {Threei} and abbreviation dj jj looks so cute to me
[15:15] {Threei} sorry, meant: gj jj
[15:15] {Chaeron} "cute" .......... ?
[15:15] {Threei} proof of concept re: lousy typist
[15:16] {Threei} try to say it chaeron
[15:16] {Threei} rolls of the tongue
[15:18] {curtisweese} s nvda?
[15:18] {Threei} not much indication either way
[15:20] {bruce} taking break
[15:25] {curtisweese} what about SIRI here at 3.07 ??
[15:25] {Threei} I don't like that it returned into this support again
[15:26] {Threei} it weas easy play first time around
[15:26] {Threei} coin toss this time
[15:27] {Threei} play to my liking would have been if it bottommed out at .15 and broke .21
[15:27] {curtisweese} looks like you are right
[15:28] {Threei} can you hear the scream of 3.89 buyer?
[15:28] {curtisweese} lol...yeah
[15:28] {Threei} market order on news...
[15:28] {curtisweese} crazy that they get past a big hurdle with merger and then it dives
[15:29] {curtisweese} here it goes again up.....hmmmm
[15:29] {Threei} dunno... I won't touch it
[15:30] {lumdus} curtis i have no analysis in my column today of bsc. unfortunately i got out at 10.00 instead of 13.85 but hey a good 7.00 is always a pleasure
[15:30] {curtisweese} yeah...i'd say you did alright!
[15:30] {Threei} pleasure?
[15:30] {Threei} that's understatement of the century
[15:31] {Threei} ecstatic joy is more like it, and even that is not reflective enough
[15:31] {lumdus} vad, i have to admit it. I was very nervous all weekend. went through at least 10 advils. wasn't easy at all. But it was well worth every single penny.. I couldn't trade today in my regular account since i maxed out with a margin call on my bsc shares.
[15:32] {Threei} what can I say... all is well that ends well
[15:32] {lumdus} had to use my charles schwab account using street pro crap
[15:32] {curtisweese} wow....you made a killing though....take a break for sure!
[15:33] {lumdus} always looking for the next killing.
[15:36] {dptl} i had uneasy weekend too....bearly sober for three days:)
[15:37] {Threei} meaning, tough hangover?
[15:37] {lumdus} i tried that on friday, wasn't too easy.
[15:37] {dptl} yep...lol
[15:37] {Threei} told ya bathtub vodka no good for your health
[15:38] {dptl} lol
[15:39] {Threei} .15 - .21 setup is back on SIRI
[15:43] {Chaeron} SIRI teasing us
[15:43] {dptl} 17 min left...
[15:44] {Threei} TILL YOUR NEXT SHOT DP? {g}
[15:44] {Threei} sorry caps
[15:44] {dptl} roflol......having beer.....
[15:44] {Threei} yeah... don't drink and trade
[15:45] {Chaeron} so even tho he's on his 7th beer, that doesn't count?
[15:45] {Threei} it doesn't, simply because he can't count after 5th
[15:46] {Chaeron} heheheh
[15:46] {dptl} lol
[15:46] {curtisweese} l aapl 139 super tight stop...just an end of day try and trade
[15:47] {Threei} XMSR trying to break 14, should help SIRI is does
[15:47] {curtisweese} nice....that will get me closer to my entry at 3.89
[15:48] {curtisweese} just kiddin
[15:48] {Threei} lol
[15:49] {Threei} come on XMSR... on behalf of buyer above 15, could you at least break 14?
[15:49] {curtisweese} stopped out .12
[15:50] {Threei} who still hasn't read last two blog posts, you better do it after close today
[15:50] {Threei} or else
[15:52] {Threei} wow... I successfully scared everyone

[15:53] {Threei} take care dp, Alka Zeltzer is your destiny today :)
[15:53] {dptl} :)
[15:53] {Threei} and no, it's not a female neighbour's name
[15:53] {curtisweese} weird that msft didnt move anywhere today
[15:54] {dptl} ooo good to know...:)
[15:55] {curtisweese} jeez i set my stop barely too tight on that last aapl trade.....it hit and executed and then stock goes up.....70
[15:55] {curtisweese} i think i sold at the low...sweeeeeet
[15:58] {Threei} Ok guys, good day today, which is not foten happens on Mondays

[09:10] {dino} gold lost about 6% yesterday, thats about $60/ounce

[09:11] {dino} hmmmm, 3i getting emotional

[09:11] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:11] {Threei} geo :)
[09:11] {patience} gm btw :)
[09:12] {Threei} morning patience :)
[09:12] {dino} patience, your nick should be the oracle
[09:12] {patience} nope, i just spend alot of time reading lol
[09:13] {dino} :)
[09:13] {Threei} see... I always knew it was good for you to know letters and have the skill to put them together so they form words
[09:13] {Threei} also, to read makes us speak English good
[09:15] {Threei} (poor Raven)
[09:16] {Raven}
3 {}
[09:16] {bruce} are thre options in bsc - if so shoulda bought puts a week or so back
[09:17] {Threei} better yet, on 10/052007
[09:17] {Threei} V
[09:17] {Threei} UNDERWRITERS EXERCISE OVERALLOTMENT OPTION OF 40.6M SHRS
[09:17] {Threei} now, why would they do that
[09:20] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:20] {Threei} thtt :)
[09:22] {magoo} vad, quick ?
[09:22] {bruce} big drop into support bvn yesterday dino
[09:22] {magoo} when u make call..say loss of ..99
[09:23] {magoo} are u watching and entering manually or is there som limit order auto?
[09:23] {Threei} manually
[09:23] {Threei} you can set auto via OMS I believe
[09:23] {magoo} cause i keep missing enntries
[09:23] {magoo} have to chase a little
[09:23] {Threei} this is a matter of a stock being thick enough for entry
[09:23] {magoo} 'seems they are sitting and then woosh
[09:23] {Threei} not the manual vs auto
[09:24] {Threei} if there are no bids to hit, however you send it won't make a difference
[09:24] {magoo} like JPM sh last afternoon...u said like .99..woosh
[09:24] {Threei} that's why my limits are a bit beyond the price I want
[09:24] {magoo} it went thru it to .89 in blink.. i missed
[09:24] {bruce} isn't that the way it goes mags? - the ones that really break deciseively tend to best winners
[09:25] {bruce} but don't give muchchance to enter w/out chasing
[09:25] {Threei} it's simply a matter of defining how far you are willing to chase, setting order there and adjusting your size accordingly
[09:26] {Threei} if there are shares available at better price you'll get them
[09:26] {magoo} how far do u recommend chasing?..say on that JPM
[09:26] {Threei} if not, you'll get your limit
[09:26] {Threei} and if no shares even there, oh well
[09:26] {Threei} my usual is 3-5 cents
[09:26] {magoo} ok..
[09:26] {magoo} see V spike
[09:26] {Threei} if it wooshes by I wait a little for possible bounce
[09:27] {Threei} if it continues decisively not giving me a fill I cancel
[09:27] {dino} bvn commodity stock
[09:27] {bruce} k
[09:27] {bruce} pot as well - looks like reversal candidate
[09:29] {bruce} same pattern mon
[09:29] {magoo} vad, how come we haven't been playing QID lately?

[11:02] {tomg} have to leave soon, better stay out

[11:06] {Threei} if tyhere was such certain pattern, everyone would use it and make milions in one day
[11:07] {Threei} question remains, who would have taken the other side of their sells
[11:07] {Threei} since pattern is so certain, why would anyone buy :)

[13:17] {bruce} k
[13:17] {Threei} NASDAQ narrowed greatly and started forming descending triangle
[13:17] {curtisweese} what's that mean?
[13:17] {dino} might be expecting too much, but thats me
[13:18] {Threei} NQ breaking 1725 should trigger selloff
[13:18] {curtisweese} good cuz i'm still shorting mer lol'
[13:18] {Threei} unless PTT intrudes again
[13:18] {Threei} PPT
[13:18] {Threei} my typing becomes worse and worse
[13:19] {dino} ptt=profit tag team
[13:19] {Threei} all pessimists saying it couldn't get any worse are being put to shame
[13:19] {Threei} it CAN!
[13:20] {dino} auxl?
[13:21] {dino} wouldn't that be optimists
[13:22] {Threei} I'll have to ponder that over weekend
[13:22] {Threei} providing I get enough blood/oxygen supply to brain
[13:23] {curtisweese} out mer short lost .20
[13:23] {dino} i intend to get the alcohol ratio up
[13:24] {dino} eqix maybe you're right bruce
[13:26] {bruce} we'll see - stuck now if it break .75 now thinking it'll go to 58- break is the ?
[13:30] {dino} nov l .25 careful
[13:37] {curtisweese} l ceph 63.74
[13:37] {curtisweese} not very much movement but i need a break and want to own something....hahahaa

[13:42] {dino} gj
[13:42] {dino} you missed nov? oih gave the entry
[13:43] {bruce} I wanted 58 but \kept struggling at .80 level
[13:43] {bruce} yes - only doing one trade at time
[13:43] {dino} ok
[13:43] {bruce} I saw nov and liked it - you had gret entry
[13:44] {dino} i prefer "lucky" entry
[13:45] {bruce} lol
[13:45] {bruce} better to be lucky than smart
[13:45] {bruce} for that matter - better to be lucky than dumb too
[13:46] {dino} better lucky than good (being good is too hard)
[13:46] {bruce} I like bad- more fun
[13:46] {dino} rrgb hod
[13:46] {Threei} or as ancient russian joke goes, better be healthy and wealthy than sick and at war
[13:47] {dino} pretty bad when the movers are buffalo wild wings and red robin burgers
[13:47] {curtisweese} l aapl here for run i hope! 130.92
[13:47] {bruce} thats a good one vad
[13:48] {dino} fwiw i am waiting sm s rrgb 38.80, purely a random area
[13:48] {Threei} hawk... VLNC :)
[13:48] {bruce} k
[13:49] {dino} on rrgb the profit ( if any ) will be luck, the stop is the skill
[13:50] {hawkfan4} :) nice move
[13:50] {dino} quite the range on fwlt
[13:55] {dino} out eqix .90, +.40
[13:55] {bruce} yes - first hour was big
[13:56] {bruce} good for you dino - I had no guts to hold
[13:56] {dino} ty, was a pain, but worked out, gappy
[13:56] {bruce} I lost confidnece on the stall at .8
[13:57] {curtisweese} come on aapl darn you.....help me help you
[13:58] {bruce} it actually looks good to me now for a move to 58.50 or so but no way I'denter here
[13:58] {dino} problem is the drawdown to 57.55 was consistant
[13:59] {curtisweese} you need someone to enter somewhere stupid?
[13:59] {curtisweese} lol
[13:59] {bruce} yes - too much risk of big pullback her
[13:59] {bruce} lol curtis
[14:00] {curtisweese} i have a super tight stop on aapl
[14:00] {bruce} you voluntering?
[14:00] {dino} lol
[14:00] {dino} brb
[14:00] {bruce} k
[14:06] {curtisweese} doh! stupid stop hit just enough to take my order and then it bounced up! grrrrrrr
[14:06] {Threei} supertight stops tend to do that
[14:06] {curtisweese} yep
[14:09] {dino} move rrgb s to 39.24 entry
[14:09] {dino} too strong
[14:09] {bruce} any feel on esrx long break of 61.20 vad?
[14:09] {bruce} sory 61.3
[14:10] {Threei} if market continues upward, certainly
[14:10] {Threei} PPT did fantastic job keeping NQ away from dangerous 1725
[14:10] {curtisweese} l aapl 130.92
[14:11] {Threei} will they try to prop it further or will they just remain satisfied by no meltdown ahead of long weekend, who knows
[14:11] {bruce} esrx invalid now - retraced too far
[14:12] {Threei} why, as long as it's holding above 61 it's valid
[14:13] {magoo} rimm sh vad??
[14:14] {dino} maybe the 38.80 area is the spot on rrgb
[14:15] {bruce} it broke to .93 vad - wanted to see it form a smaller tighter range
[14:15] {bruce} bvn long here dino?
[14:16] {dino} dk, liked it better 65

[14:31] {curtisweese} it was luck on that RIMM short over the weekend....so technically 4 days
[14:31] {dino} that my monthly goal
[14:31] {GeoArb} the funny part is scottrade

[15:10] {Chaeron} curtis, we don't need to hear of your shower exploits please
[15:10] {curtisweese} lol
[15:11] {dino} geo, just got back from bus stop. not sure on cents? 1/1 r/1, shoot for $700/day
[15:11] {GeoArb} yes thats my Q
[15:12] {GeoArb} 700 can change based on position size
[15:12] {GeoArb} so you dont have a dollar goal
[15:12] {dino} yes. 700 is total daily goal, each trade is on its own
[15:13] {GeoArb} so sizing based on risk i guess
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {dino} risk reward try for 1:1 min
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} yeah i read that in vad's "boring" book
[15:13] {dino} when i say sm=smaller size, otherwise 500
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} i am doing 100/200 rite now
[15:14] {GeoArb} i had seen the vids.... so the book was an easier read
[15:14] {GeoArb} thanks dino
[15:14] {dino} yes, sizing on risk, you watch some of the crazy ones i play. i am a contrarian, and i don't mind thin vol.
[15:14] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {dino} i'm looking for 2 buck ranges or better
[15:15] {GeoArb} whats up with MS?
[15:15] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {GeoArb} daily range
[15:15] {dino} y
[15:16] {dino} prefer fast 2 buck range
[15:16] {GeoArb} ok
[15:16] {GeoArb} yeah for me countertrend is advanced level
[15:17] {GeoArb} will wait on those :D
[15:17] {dino} find your edge, manage the risk, be consistant, and keep it simple
[15:18] {GeoArb} KIS brought me here
[15:18] {dino} ahhh
[15:18] {GeoArb} i was trying to scalp futures using complex methodologies last one year
[15:18] {GeoArb} wasted a year
[15:18] {dino} hardest thing for me lately is waiting 20 minutes in the a.m.
[15:19] {dino} moves are not true enough
[15:19] {GeoArb} ok so you start after 20 mins....
[15:19] {GeoArb} all stocks open and stabilize
[15:19] {dino} yes, i do much better that way
[15:19] {dino} some days magoo has 3 trasdes in before i start
[15:20] {GeoArb} i am in west coast.... so have to trade only forst half
[15:20] {dino} i guess i'm slow
[15:20] {dino} its all individuals edge, i start slow
[15:21] {GeoArb} surge
[15:21] {GeoArb} in fins
[15:26] {dino} bruce, we should have been watching fmcn

[08:36] {Threei} except beef
[08:36] {Threei} which in my firm opinion is vegetable

[14:51] {Threei} MER is right at one
[14:51] {judi} ty dino fmcn good l +.15

[15:35] {Threei} your market today?
[15:35] {dino} lod
[15:35] {dino} below goal, but not bad
[15:35] {Threei} good job
[15:35] {Threei} not my market
[15:35] {Threei} JPM trade will put me at breakeven at best
[15:36] {GeoArb} yeah.... i got scared out
[15:36] {Threei} too many shakes
[15:36] {GeoArb} so -ve
[15:36] {Threei} all stops are within a reason, just a tad too many of them
[15:36] {dino} i think i need to buy this dip
[15:36] {Threei} thanks for NFLX trade and something else that I forgot that kept me not too deep under water
[15:37] {Threei} so JPM should take me at the surafce
[15:37] {Threei} hear that, morgan?
[15:37] {Threei} die
[15:37] {Threei} 1:2, 1/4 more out
[15:37] {Threei} +.40
[15:38] {dino} wow oih -10
[15:38] {Threei} that's some day... equities, oil aand gold down
[15:39] {Threei} btw guys, futures symbol rollover, don't forget
[15:41] {GeoArb} you know maybe i am wrong but my personal opinion is that LII doesnt help me much
[15:42] {dino} everyone is different
[15:42] {GeoArb} maybe am a newbies at ths but get a headache
[15:42] {Threei} what are you trying to use it for?
[15:42] {dino} no, thats just the market in general
[15:43] {GeoArb} mostly for thickness fo stock and volatility
[15:43] {GeoArb} not direction
[15:43] {Threei} right
[15:43] {Threei} so how does it not help?
[15:43] {GeoArb} but even those if my scanner is right i see only the good ones
[15:43] {GeoArb} right?
[15:43] {Threei} look at level 2 BIDU
[15:44] {Threei} and JPM
[15:44] {GeoArb} ok
[15:44] {Threei} which one is safer, by just a single glance on level 2
[15:44] {GeoArb} jpm
[15:44] {Threei} there
[15:44] {GeoArb} wide spread in bidu
[15:44] {Threei} what else do you want from level2? :)
[15:44] {GeoArb} but if my scanner had a max spread filter
[15:44] {Threei} it allowed you to evaluate risk in one second
[15:44] {GeoArb} bidu would never show up
[15:45] {Threei} ummm
[15:45] {Threei} not necesasary
[15:45] {Threei} spread is one factor
[15:45] {Threei} sizes, gap between levels, pace
[15:45] {Threei} all that is not something scanner will help with
[15:45] {GeoArb} can scan for size but not for level and pace agreed
[15:46] {Threei} trailing JPM last portion to .85
[15:48] {Threei} out
[15:49] {Threei} last trade of the day took the day from negative to useless
[15:49] {GeoArb} i promise not to stay home
[15:49] {Threei} thank you
[15:51] {GeoArb} learned a lot.... good days and bad
[15:51] {GeoArb} thanks vad and eveyone
[15:51] {GeoArb} bye
[15:51] {Threei} geo, you are perfectionist, aren't you
[15:51] {dino} fmcn stopped
[15:51] {GeoArb} just an engineer
[15:51] {Threei} biggest winning day is 7 times bigger than biggest losing
[15:52] {Threei} and 4 winning out of 6
[15:52] {GeoArb} thats was lucky bsc short
[15:52] {GeoArb} an abberration
[15:52] {Threei} sigh
[15:52] {Threei} those engineers
[15:53] {GeoArb} "those" forgot previous life eh?
[15:53] {Threei} lol
[15:53] {Threei} life is full of aberrations
[15:54] {Threei} Ok guys, thank you all
[15:54] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[15:55] {bruce} vad - glad you had OK day
[15:55] {Threei} OK is too loud
[15:55] {Threei} barely scratched my way to flat
[15:55] {bruce} k -
[15:56] {bruce} not I
[15:56] {bruce} keep getting almosty all your losing trades and missing wins
[15:56] {bruce} not sure what to do except stop taking all yur calls
[15:56] {Threei} or take all of them?
[15:57] {bruce} not always possible
[15:57] {Threei} it's your selection that undermined your performance today
[15:57] {dino} adding sm de overnight, holding dwsn, adding sm fwlt overnight
[15:57] {Threei} well, whatever you do or whoever you follow, you never will get all of them, right?
[15:58] {bruce} agreed and understood
[15:58] {Threei} most of them gave ample time for entery
[15:58] {Threei} JPM was available
[15:58] {Threei} NFLX too
[15:58] {bruce} missed those
[16:00] {dino} -300, 366 pt range
[16:17] {bruce} you expecting long bounce de overnight dno?
[16:19] {dino} y
[16:20] {bruce} its at support
[16:20] {bruce} but no sign of a reversal here
[16:22] {bruce} hope it works out
[16:25] {dino} small position, not too worried
[16:27] {bruce} I've been learning lots from you
[16:27] {bruce} want to thank you
[16:27] {bruce} still not able to read spikes -
[16:28] {bruce} \but I think I can see some progress on reading slower reversals
[16:28] {bruce} night all
[16:34] {dino} you're doing fine bruce, i see it. you're very good at capitulations

**consensus expectation is for a 75 bps cut to 2.25%, though economists are about evenly split on expectations for 50, 75 and 100 bps. Most of the recent revisions to estimates have been favoring a 100 bps cut.
[13:49] {Threei{ - Some analysts are calling for a 50 bps cut today, massaged by a discussion of all the other extraordinary actions the Fed has taken to support the functioning of the credit markets. Some speculate the FOMC could even stipulate that it will hold an intra meeting policy review between now and May 9th meeting, to emphasize 'it will act in a timely manner', while blunting the perception that further intra-meeting moves are emergency actions.

[10:43] {Threei} in fact, market starts looking like going gren soon
[10:43] {magoo} cause it is green
[10:43] {bruce} apol looking strong now dino - we probably missed it - but if it retraces to 56 may be worth try
[10:43] {Threei} Dow yes
[10:43] {Threei} NASDAQ is in red still
[10:44] {lumdus} hmm, how wierd it is.

[10:57] {Threei} finger on the trigger RIMM
[10:57] {Threei} missed first dive into 99, maybe we get another leg down
[10:57] {Threei} couldn't find guts to short .50 breakdown
[11:01] {Threei} staying on a sideline for now
[11:01] {Threei} hectic moves up and down within narrow range
[11:02] {Threei} sure recipe for being stopped

[11:55] {GeoArb} easy with 100 shares ;)
[11:55] {Threei} monetary wise yes,
[11:55] {Threei} but it's chart that should govern your action
[11:55] {GeoArb} true
[11:56] {Threei} paper trading or small shares trading must be done in the same fashion as you are goinfg tyo trade normal size
[11:56] {GeoArb} my stop was previous pivot high
[11:56] {GeoArb} maybe too wide
[11:56] {Threei} othrwise theere is no learning effect
[11:56] {Threei} if your stop was based differently, that's fine
[11:57] {Threei} as long as there was a reason for it
[11:57] {Threei} bigger time frame, next level of resistance
[11:57] {Threei} no problem with that, it's valid approach
[11:57] {GeoArb} will revaluate.... thanks
[11:57] {Threei} just not a "my position is small, I can try and hold"

[14:37] {Threei} to be fair, you are the least crazy out of three :)
[14:37] {dino} lol
[14:38] {lumdus} logic says that if the ceo thinks it's a crazy price he will go shopping for better price or at least jpm will go a few bucks higher.
[14:38] {lumdus} so it's worth an intraday shot i think.
[14:38] {Threei} you assume his lamenting is truthful
[14:38] {dino} fmcn sm l .01
[14:39] {dino} fed is pushing him tho, different rules imo
[14:39] {Threei} but these the same people I quoted earlier:

[15:02] {Threei} the more we deal with this one
[15:02] {bruce} never heard of the guy
[15:02] {Threei} the more I come to conclusion that it's quite tradeable under one condition
[15:03] {Threei} pick setups that allow you to keep clean chart based tight stops
[15:03] {dino} chaos?
[15:03] {bruce} its definitely worth learning to trade vad
[15:03] {bruce} quick mov es
[15:03] {Threei} if you do that, you will get one of valid setups working finally
[15:03] {bruce} great liquiditiy\
[15:03] {bruce} and reasonably tight spread
[15:03] {Threei} and what RIMM does whan it works will bring you back tw-threre stops and then some
[15:04] {Threei} and it's not like you run 1 out of 4 odds on it
[15:05] {bruce} it seems to have spots wee it can be read most days

[08:34] {Threei} Good morning
[08:34] {Threei} market loved the numbers
[08:36] {magoo} man vad, thats a 100 point spin in dow {again}
[08:37] {magoo} boy, i wouldn't want to be short
[08:37] {magoo} shorts keep getting slammed
[08:37] {Threei} no kidding
[08:38] {Threei} just when it looks like everything goes to hell in basket, market stages rally of scale that would be impressive even in a bull market
[08:48] {magoo} u made good point yesterday...how little $5 stx don't move anymore...they will....but at least we adapted
[08:48] {Threei} I miss them
[08:49] {Threei} not their time in cycle...
[08:50] {magoo} me too...couple bucks up mom..nice
[08:51] {magoo} jesus..even doug kass {ultimate perma short} oin cnbc saying if we go up today..he going home and re evaluate
[08:52] {magoo} talking heads saying shorts are suicidal

[08:52] {magoo} 3 abk crushes, a s&p crush, and today crush
[08:52] {Threei} when everyone gives up an idea of a drop, bear returns
[08:53] {magoo} yeah, when talking heads say shorts hurting..time to short
[08:53] {Threei} that's what I said all along, and we have moved into stage 2 now
[08:53] {magoo} although, not yet
[08:53] {Threei} stage 1 was - everyone is bearing, market rallies
[08:53] {Threei} stage 2 - rallies make shorts nervous, sentiment changes slowly,
[08:54] {Threei} it's still hard to believe market can go up while such dark clouds are all over
[08:54] {Threei} but rally after rally makes people rationalize
[08:54] {Threei} and finally they say OK, things are not as bleak
[08:55] {Threei} stage 3 - everyone's convinced we dodged the worst, bear returns
[08:55] {Threei} ummm.. stage 4 - everyone says it was all huge manipulation
[08:56] {Threei} stage 5 - those who traded what they saw come out ahead,
[08:57] {Threei} those who traded what they thought... well, they as usual provided the the first group with money
[09:00] {cosmo} so, what now? ...time to buy real estate?

[11:04] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} k thx
[11:04] {dino} my edge, fwiw, seems to be capitulation and euphoria, i play contra, small size, wide stops and let them trade
[11:05] {dino} 300-500 shares, srcl was 500, stop stop around .33. on 300 stops around .51
[11:06] {dino} probabilities plays an important part of my trading
[11:06] {dino} and magoo, will tell you, once itm, i get stingy and tighten stop fiercly
[11:06] {bruce} possible reversal here in penn dino
[11:08] {dino} penn tricky, imo someone thinks deal will not happen

[11:09] {Threei} I see no news
[11:11] {dino} bs spike is all i see

[11:18] {lumdus} poor folks who had bsc from yesterday. my heart goes out to them. that is a huge freekin dump
[11:19] {Threei} it was up nicely pre-market... if they watch their mney they would have taken a gift
[11:20] {dino} when you get lucky, take it- livermoore
[11:21] {curtisweese} especially when fast money and those shows on CNBC all pump it every day while it drops
[11:22] {dino} alex
[11:23] {magoo} vad, how many trades u do today, i saw 2
[11:24] {Threei} calls or personally?
[11:24] {GeoArb} your personal are diff from calls?

[11:24] {curtisweese} s RIMM 103.02
[11:24] {Threei} yes they are
[11:24] {Threei} not drastically but still
[11:24] {GeoArb} :)
[11:24] {bruce} in fairness - would think some trades move to fast for vad to post
[11:25] {Threei} just so there is no confusion over that
[11:25] {GeoArb} i think vad is secretly trading curtis style
[11:25] {Threei} 1. those that move too fast to post, as bruce said
[11:25] {Threei} 2. those that I deem too risky to call
[11:25] {Threei} 3. those that I miss while alerting
[11:26] {curtisweese} out RIMM +.38
[11:26] {Threei} 4. those that I miss because of dcc, e-mails, mentoring or administrative issues
[11:26] {curtisweese} omg...i left sooooo much money on the table......grrrrrrrrr
[11:26] {GeoArb} crap i was kidding
[11:26] * Chaeron vows never to DCC Vad again
[11:26] {Chaeron} :)
[11:27] {Threei} there could be some minot divergencies aside of those, but mostly these 4 reasons explain the difference

[11:27] {Threei} nah Geo, fair question
[11:27] {bruce} auxl dino
[11:27] {GeoArb} its impossible for them to be same unless my account is linked to yours hehe

[11:28] {dptl} ok gonna go get some sleep(was working all night)have good rest of day and good weekend all :)

[11:28] {Threei} take care dp
[11:28] {GeoArb} people just have different trigger fingers
[11:28] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} bye dp
[11:29] {Threei} I won't tell your wife that you were working all nights while she was away
[11:29] {Chaeron} yeah... right... TokyoJoe you aint brother
[11:29] {curtisweese} out RIMM +.16
[11:29] {dptl} lol
[11:29] {Threei} square heads are squeare heads
[11:29] {Threei} I long abandoned atempts to explain or justify
[11:30] {Threei} but I do prefer to be very clear with members about how we operate
[11:30] {GeoArb} fair enough
[11:30] {curtisweese} l RIMM 102.62
[11:30] {Threei} imagine me seeing nice setup at 11:59,
[11:30] {GeoArb} i want to learn to fish anyway
[11:30] {Threei} I call it for the troom,
[11:30] {Threei} but will I take it if I have mentoring session starting at 12:00?
[11:31] {curtisweese} out -$.07
[11:31] {GeoArb} if all i wanted was calls..... i would try to convince you to open an IB friends family account and sign a waiver
[11:31] {GeoArb} hehehe
[11:31] {Threei} well... you know what they say about teaching man to fsh
[11:32] {Threei} he will sit on a boat and drink beer all day
[11:32] {GeoArb} whats wrong with that?
[11:32] {Threei} absolutely nothing
[11:32] {magoo} excuse me..but it was my questuion lol
[11:32] {Threei} I just want to make sure I am invited
[11:32] {GeoArb} heh
[11:32] {dino} you were right auxl
[11:32] {bruce} possibble bear flag in rimm here vad
[11:33] {dino} did someone say beer?
[11:33] {Threei} yes bruce, but trigger is a bit far from stop level for my taste
[11:33] {magoo} i did
[11:34] {Threei} .25 would be a short trigger
[11:34] {Threei} and resistance is fuzzy
[11:34] {bruce} k - nasty stop of .70 orso?
[11:34] {Threei} I would prefer it to consolidate a little to form a firmer and closer one
[11:34] {bruce} k
[11:34] {bruce} passing on it
[11:35] {magoo} id prefer a double bottom bounce to day high
[11:35] {magoo} off here
[11:35] {bruce} still time for auxl dino - thinking .27 break
[11:36] {bruce} thanx vad
[11:37] {magoo} vad, thoughts on my scenario RIMM?
[11:38] {Threei} that would be .75 break
[11:38] {bruce} rimmsky short starting to look better
[11:38] {Threei} but again... where is support for a stop?
[11:38] {magoo} .39
[11:38] {Threei} it's just a bit too wide range to find a solid safe break play
[11:39] {Threei} why .39
[11:39] {Threei} it went much lower several times
[11:39] {Threei} in last 5 min or so
[11:39] {Threei} not very pronounced support, easy to get shaken out
[11:41] {Threei} for any of these plays to be more kosher I'd like RIMM to form a bit tighter range
[11:42] {lumdus} in gg 45.35 stop 45.29
[11:42] {Threei} closer support for a break of .75
[11:42] {Threei} ot closer resistance for a break of .25
[11:42] {Threei} looks better now
[11:42] {magoo} feels like rimm gonna go..risky feel
[11:43] {Threei} with .40 being firmer support
[11:43] {dino} sm de l .50

[13:25] {lumdus} 50/50 crap shoot
[13:25] {curtisweese} i will jump in with ya
[13:25] {curtisweese} hahahaha
[13:25] {bruce} q's really huging yesterdays low at moment vad
[13:26] {curtisweese} my stop is .20 though
[13:26] {Threei} but a bit higher than today's
[13:27] {Threei} so hard to see it as breakdown
[13:27] {lumdus} i got oinked .. bamm
[13:27] {lumdus} vad, so you think we have chance of recovery heare ? mood is rap
[13:27] {Threei} honestly, I have no opinion here on direction
[13:28] {Threei} last couple weeks left me with no desire to predict anything beyond "sun WILL rise tomorrow"
[13:28] {Threei} and even that...
[13:29] {curtisweese} i got stopped out too
[13:29] {Threei} really, how many predictions by anyone, from average joe and all the way to the very top of brilliant market analysts came true these days?
[13:29] {lumdus} not many, you right
[13:29] {Threei} here is one thing I really want you guys to give a thought to
[13:30] {curtisweese} l AAPL 125.94 i think we rally now
[13:30] {curtisweese} or not
[13:30] {Threei} I recently stumbled onto site that goes over predictions made by market reviewers. columnnists, analysts of all sorts
[13:30] {Threei} and tracks them
[13:30] {Threei} ranking all the guys by the percentage of them being right/wrong.
[13:31] {Threei} One thing struck me as odd as soon as I looked over ranking list:
[13:31] {Threei} at the very top of it with somethinbg like 69% was the guy I never considered to be any good at anything
[13:31] {curtisweese} aapl looks to be a good position for long ...with a stop right below 126
[13:31] {curtisweese} or around 125.80 or so
[13:32] {Threei} and somewhere closer to the bottom with 30 something percents was the guy I consider the most brilliant mind
[13:32] {Threei} So I started looking into their methodology
[13:32] {Threei} and one sentence made me dismiss their rankings altogether,
[13:32] {Threei} That sentence was:
[13:32] {Threei} "we do not consider conditional forecasts".
[13:33] {Threei} that was it for me
[13:33] {Threei} because any forecast in the market can be valid ONLY if it's conditional
[13:33] {bruce} rimm looking like possible long here
[13:33] {curtisweese} stop is set at 125.60 for me on aapl...i'm long from 125.94.....
[13:33] {Threei} otherwise it assumes that forecasters sees the future
[13:33] {Threei} One who says "market will drop tomorrow" has no credibility with me.
[13:34] {Threei} One who says "market will drop if this and this happens, and will rise if that and that happens" - this I am willing to listen to
[13:34] {curtisweese} that makes total sense to me
[13:34] {Threei} unfortunately it doesn't to many
[13:34] {Threei} they want the treade being fed to them
[13:35] {curtisweese} i feel we will rally....if the market goes up
[13:35] {curtisweese} ouch on aapl!!
[13:35] {Threei} and no matter how many times they lose on guru type of calls, they still strive for more
[13:35] {curtisweese} just missing my stop...lol
[13:35] {lumdus} correct you are.
[13:35] {dino} i trust the magic 8-ball
[13:35] {Threei} I do too, but even more so - my dartboard
[13:35] {curtisweese} it went down to .62 or so...come on....run aapl run darn you
[13:36] {Threei} One who confidently says "this is what is going to happen tomorrow" is a fraud
[13:36] {curtisweese} okay.....aapl is warming up....getting ready to run.....pleeeeeeeease run....hahahah!
[13:36] {Threei} Next logical step in this thinking:
[13:37] {Threei} how comfortable reasonable person can feel
[13:37] {Threei} letting financal advisors, managers etc manage their money?
[13:37] {Threei} have those people ever made money in the markets trading their own money?
[13:38] {Threei} or they just obtained certificate graduating form some courses?
[13:38] {curtisweese} out aapl +.16
[13:38] {Threei} and that course taught them how to make money in the market?
[13:38] {Threei} gimmie a break
[13:38] {dino} of course
[13:38] {dino} optm
[13:38] {Threei} of course telling this to you I am preaching to the choire
[13:39] {curtisweese} l on aapl again 126.24
[13:39] {judi} we agree others managing our IRA we lost over $200K in one year. We took over self-directing IRA ourselves
[13:39] {judi} and made money in real estate with IRA funds
[13:39] {curtisweese} i set too tight of a stop on last one....or maybe not
[13:39] {Threei} since you started trading your own money because you weren't confident in ability of those people to do that for you
[13:39] {Threei} there you go judi
[13:39] {Threei} proof of the concept
[13:40] {Threei} of course they all look brilliant in bull market
[13:40] {dino} gj judi
[13:40] {Threei} make money in what we have this year - you have my great respect
[13:40] {dino} agreed
[13:41] {Threei} make money in 1998 - 2000 environment... well
[13:41] {Threei} it's nice
[13:41] {Threei} but doesn't allow to tell brains from bull market
[13:41] {judi} we still have 7 houses no debt but can rent out until market moves. Plus we rode the great wave
[13:41] {Threei} this is brilliance :)
[13:42] {judi} several years and increased our IRA 1000%
[13:42] {Threei} buying blue chips and banks and holding them come hell or high water is not
[13:43] {Threei} whole idea is of "buy and hold, market in a long run always goes up, you can't time the market, it's not a loss until you sell" is a fraud pushed on people
[13:43] {dino} asset alligators
[13:43] {Threei} and designed to encourage them to give their money to alligators
[13:43] {Threei} thanks for the workd dino :)
[13:43] {Threei} word
[13:44] {dino} :)
[13:44] {dino} further, if you are on margin, believe me its a loss as it occurs
[13:44] {Threei} no kidding
[13:44] {bruce} out for balance of day

[13:55] {dino} maybe she was checking someone out, like "nice dumper"
[13:56] {curtisweese} she said the dollar was in the dumper
[13:57] {Threei} hard to argue
[13:57] {Threei} tthere is some ETF thattracks USD I think
[13:57] {curtisweese} i really like aapl...i think i need to break off a little capital for aapl long term
[13:58] {Threei} want to know it for the day when thewy all say get out of us dollar

[14:04] {magoo} vad, i need other reality service
[14:04] {Threei} they run in advance of another cut,
[14:04] {Threei} and when cut happens they tank,
[14:04] {magoo} how many inches is 10 mm?
[14:04] {dino} will watch
[14:05] {Threei} in realization that rate cuts near their end

[09:18] {bruce} market meltdown continues - so much for fed saving day
[09:18] {esemde} morning
[09:18] {GeoArb} good morning
[09:19] {bruce} hi ese geo
[09:19] {Threei} bruce, ese, geo :)
[09:20] {Threei} they can maufacture all they want bruce... as we stated many times, this is BEAR and it be hungry. No one can fight the market, even fed
[09:20] {bruce} yep
[09:20] {bruce} looking like a nasty bear
[09:20] {bruce} about time though really
[09:21] {bruce} well dino - looking good - negotiate those leases OK and you can retire
[09:21] {esemde} Who is N E V A R?
[09:21] {bruce} just don't build your retirement home on them
[09:21] {esemde} ahhhhh raven backwards
[09:21] {esemde} clever clever
[09:22] {Threei} couple general words guys
[09:23] {Threei} I view this market as an incredible learning opportunity for everyone involved,
[09:23] {Threei} make no mistake, this is crisis of historic proportions
[09:23] {bruce} thats 12 words vad
[09:23] {bruce} 10 too many for me
[09:23] {Threei} and market behavior refllects it
[09:24] {Threei} When you go through the conditions as we have now
[09:24] {Threei} and come out ahead or at least unharmed
[09:24] {Threei} your experience is going to be invaluable
[09:24] {Threei} and when "normal
[09:24] {Threei} conditions return
[09:24] {Threei} you are going to be much more prepared to benefit.
[09:25] {Threei} Street hurts badly,
[09:25] {Threei} not many are able to handle such trading well,
[09:25] {cosmo} babies, bathwater ...everywhere...
[09:25] {esemde} tks
[09:25] {Threei} it takes a lot of skill, understanding, corectly tuned psyche to be comfortable in these waters
[09:26] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:26] {esemde} v
[09:26] {Threei} thtt :)
[09:26] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:26] {bruce} hey thtt
[09:26] {esemde} should be tks Vad
[09:26] {Threei} I amgoing to write an extensive blog post about this
[09:26] {bruce} maryann got picked up on dope charges
[09:26] {Threei} will let you know when it's up
[09:26] {bruce} probably gilligans influence
[09:26] {Raven} 3 maryann is a dope ?
[09:27] {bruce} thanx vad
[09:27] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} yes she's been led astray by gilligan
[09:27] {dino} she was pretty hot in her day
[09:27] {bruce} sheswhat 69 and still smoking weed?
[09:27] {bruce} lol
[09:27] {bruce} agreed dino - I liked her
[09:28] {dino} girl next door thing
[09:28] {bruce} yeah
[09:28] {cosmo} poor maryann
[09:28] {dino} ok, end of days again, saddle up
[09:28] {bruce} did I ever tell you about my girl next door?
[09:29] {dino} nope
[09:30] {bruce} story for another day
[09:30] {bruce} in short - she was hot too
[09:31] {bruce} vad - we don't want these uncertain markets to discourage you from posting 1 buck winning trades
[09:31] {Threei} no way
[09:31] {Threei} just keep your stops and everything will be fine
[09:32] {Threei} look at our trades over last week or two
[09:32] {bruce} aapl short?
[09:32] {Threei} we had average stop size what, about 15 cents?
[09:32] {dino} sell the rips huh guys
[09:32] {magoo} like my compliment to u yesterday vad..agree
[09:32] {Threei} with wins ranging from 10 cents to 50 and more, and wins outnumbering losses
[09:33] {Threei} that's our way to stay solvent, liquid and ahead of the game
[09:33] {Threei} not yet bruce,let opening volaitity subside a little
[09:34] {bruce} k
[09:34] {Threei} it will bounce like crazy any second now
[09:34] {magoo} are looking to play bounce long? or short bounce?
[09:34] {Threei} how about that?
[09:35] {Threei} neither, waiting for charts to start making sense
[09:36] {Roman} 21 EFUT on radar, had earnings
[09:36] {Threei} let me reapeat: how about that? re: AAPL
[09:37] {magoo} sahould have p[layed it
[09:38] {Threei} and risk getting caught in such violent move on a wrong side?
[09:38] {Threei} there is no way to keep reasonable stop when it moves like this
[09:38] {dino} slap him vad
[09:38] {magoo} no..but u had the read..
[09:38] {Threei} risk control comes firsat, profit considerations second
[09:39] {Threei} well... I wouldn't call "any swecond now" a reliable or very precise read :)
[09:39] {dino} watching aet, wlp
[09:39] {dino} fstr
[09:41] {bruce} wlp looks long
[09:41] {Threei} AAPL .50 break long if holding above .30
[09:41] {bruce} too layr
[09:42] {Threei} no entry on the way back if missed it
[09:42] {dino} y, but mkt drops sti;;l
[09:42] {Threei} let it drop closer to 124 or under
[09:43] {dino} -300 day patience
[09:43] {bruce} how come no enty on way back down in that case vad ?
[09:44] {Threei} that was pure "break for scalp", not a trade for a stronnger trend that would warrant pullback entry
[09:45] {bruce} k
[09:45] {Threei} I amnot sure why you deemed it "too late" bruce... it was .54 - .55 for a few after alert
[09:45] {Threei} quite buyable
[09:46] {bruce} was referring to wlp vad
[09:46] {Threei} oh, sorry
[09:46] {bruce} jumped right after I noted it looked long
[09:46] {Threei} I didn't comment on exit at the time thinkingeveryone missed entry
[09:47] {Threei} short idea AAPL now
[09:47] {Threei} 124 closest resistance
[09:48] {bruce} we waiting for trigger or just short close to 124?
[09:48] {Threei} in
[09:48] {dino} wlp l .35, stop .09
[09:48] {Threei} no trigger
[09:49] {Threei} stop .15
[09:51] {Threei} stopped
[09:52] {dino} out wlp .59, +.24
[09:52] {curtisweese} this market is crazy...i think we going ot end up today... :)
[09:53] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[09:53] {Threei} if stays above .30
[09:55] {Threei} holding uncharacteristically well while NQ dropping
[09:55] {bruce} hit .28 - still valid?
[09:55] {Threei} yeah, coluple cents is not really invalidation for volatile stocks
[09:55] {bruce} k
[09:56] {magoo} in rimm agg
[09:58] {curtisweese} did rimm break .50?
[09:58] {Threei} no
[09:58] {GeoArb} nope
[09:59] {Chaeron} GM all... just in time to join magoo in a RIMM trade :)
[09:59] {Threei} becomes bounce play now, too far from resistance for break to be valid
[09:59] {Threei} chaeron :)
[09:59] {dino} fwlt
[09:59] {GeoArb} business inventory in one min
[10:00] {Threei} as if anyone doubts it will be bad
[10:00] {dino} tndm
[10:00] {Threei} JAN BUSINESS INVENTORIES: 0.8% V 0.5%E
[10:00] {dino} bsc wants 50.80ish 50 strile
[10:00] {dino} strike
[10:00] {dino} imo, watch 5 and 0
[10:01] {GeoArb} rimm bounce?
[10:01] {Threei} can't find safe entry
[10:01] {Threei} not sure
[10:05] {curtisweese} newbie going RIMM long 99.01 entry ...market turning up for a bit...come on!!!!!!
[10:05] {dino} aet l .50, stop .23

[10:05] {magoo} was stopped on that rimm btw..- $259
[10:05] {Threei} be careful
[10:05] {dino} stopped
[10:06] {bruce} vad - klac long on 37.07 break w .08c stop?
[10:07] {curtisweese} moved my stop to .26
[10:08] {Threei} makes sense to me bruce
[10:09] {curtisweese} moved rimm stop to .32
[10:09] {curtisweese} to .39 now
[10:10] {Threei} good discipline
[10:10] {Threei} KLAC 1:2

[10:16] {curtisweese} luck...as market turned up
[10:16] {curtisweese} couldn't get my last stop placed and cost me .12 but i'm not complaining!
[10:16] {Threei} bruce... something about how you enter isn't right, missing too many of them and some are fairly easy to get
[10:17] {Threei} KLAC was there for a while for grabs
[10:17] {bruce} did .05 bid after break vad
[10:17] {Threei} again?
[10:17] {Threei} why bid?
[10:17] {dino} gj curt
[10:18] {Threei} it's a thick stock, you can get it easily at the offer
[10:18] {Chaeron} nice job curtis
[10:18] {bruce} small stop - less commisssion
[10:18] {Threei} and your stop is ridiculously small, what's a cent or two
[10:18] {dino} fwlt stopped .25, +.25
[10:18] {bruce} ridiculously small is good for me
[10:19] {curtisweese} newbie shorting rimm at 100.36 for scalp (i hope)
[10:19] {Threei} I am sure if you do statistics you will find out that missed opportunities cost you much more than you save on that kind of entry
[10:20] {Threei} fantastic trade curtis, wtg
[10:20] {curtisweese} out RIMM short +.14
[10:20] {curtisweese} moves to fast for me to do half at a time and whatnot

[11:15] {magoo} RIMM seems stronger than mkt today vad
[11:15] {Threei} you know, it changes
[11:15] {Chaeron} yeah mags... noticing that too
[11:15] {Threei} on some moves it's stronger, on some shows more wakness
[11:15] {magoo} yeah, sometimes weaker
[11:15] {Threei} look 11:05 bar
[11:15] {Threei} or so
[11:16] {Threei} new low on RIMM while nasdaq was nowhere even close
[11:17] {Threei} also, 11:11 - 12, NQ hits high of the day, RIMM is well under
[11:17] {Threei} not sure there is clean correlation today
[11:18] {Threei} playable following overall but withhigh degree of discretion
[11:18] {Threei} not by standard recipe
[11:18] {curtisweese} we going to buy in on RIMM at 100 though right? lol
[11:18] {magoo} yeah..your right {again}
[11:19] {Threei} curtis... I am scared to answer that 'cause in your case it could mean that you will buy 100.50 :)
[11:19] {curtisweese} hhahahahahaha
[11:20] {bruce} in his case - if he does - it'll go to 102 for him vad
[11:20] {curtisweese} i have a dr appt this morning, so i will be leaving soon and have to call in blind trades to my broker
[11:20] {Threei} if you don't mind to become a center of attention for a min...
[11:20] {Threei} you have no fear
[11:20] {Threei} and this is two-sided sword
[11:20] {Threei} on one side, you enter easily, grab opportunities when see them,
[11:20] {Threei} this is very good thing,
[11:21] {Threei} too may suffer from beiing trigger-shy
[11:21] {Threei} many
[11:21] {Threei} On another side, it can cause a lot of harm unless you get couple principles ingrained
[11:22] {curtisweese} in on RIMM 99.72 (i'm still listening)
[11:22] {Threei} but of course
[11:22] {GeoArb} lol
[11:22] {Threei} :)

[11:22] {dino} tndm stop to .33
[11:22] {dino} out slip, +.25
[11:22] {dino} .26
[11:22] {curtisweese} def goood advice...i screwed that up big time
[11:22] {Threei} Do not buy so far from where chart says stop should be that you may be forced to exit prematurely or to take too wide stop
[11:23] {Threei} Do not trade for trading sake
[11:23] {dino} out fwlt .35, +.60
[11:23] {Threei} this is not a team sp;ort where participation is value
[11:23] {bruce} dino - wlp looks like long to me on break of .50
[11:23] {curtisweese} move stop to 100.21 on RIMM
[11:23] {curtisweese} rimm is gonna run huge if breaks this resistance
[11:24] {dino} in wlp from .25
[11:24] {bruce} oh-lol- figures
[11:24] {curtisweese} moved RIMM stop to .35
[11:24] {Threei} this time there is no news even to jumpstart such spike
[11:25] {Threei} just when you think, this is it, market finally defined direction, let's short everthing
[11:25] {bruce} l wlp .50
[11:25] {bruce} stop .35

[14:55] {curtisweese} what is it?
[14:55] {Threei} duct tape, to tie your hands behind your back :)
[14:56] {curtisweese} hahahahahahah
[14:56] {Chaeron} I was going for something more subtle... like say........ a BRAIN?
[14:56] {Threei} and no hitting mouse button with your nose allowed
[14:56] {Chaeron} teasing curtis
[14:56] {curtisweese} lol
[14:56] {GeoArb} i was going for ass.... to sit on the hands
[14:56] {Chaeron} or to sit on brain.. it's all good
[14:57] {curtisweese} my entry was .80 ...let's see how it plays out
[14:57] {Threei} it's like you have the interests of your broker in heart more than your own :)
[14:57] * Chaeron ducking
[14:57] {Threei} one thing is really good though, jokes aside
[14:57] {curtisweese} upside is huge here for RIMM
[14:57] {curtisweese} there it goes
[14:57] {Threei} you don't have a problem admitting being wrong and taking stop
[14:58] {GeoArb} true....

[15:11] {GeoArb} so why are we focusing only in RIMM again?
[15:12] {Chaeron} readability and strength comparison to market...?
[15:12] {curtisweese} cuz i'm dumb
[15:12] {Threei} just don't see anything else moving much, that's all
[15:12] {GeoArb} ok good reasons
[15:12] {Chaeron} I have to go all.. see you manana
[15:13] {Chaeron} many thanks Vad

[15:36] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} agree
[15:36] {Threei} gotta go where the activity is
[15:37] {Threei} but market where COIN and VLNC move is more to my liking
[15:37] {curtisweese} coin up over 7% today
[15:40] {Threei} 106 on the deck
[15:41] {curtisweese} i'm gonna bite...(in case there was any doubt) in at .98
[15:41] {Threei} no doubt here
[15:42] {curtisweese} out -.09 on short of RIMM
[15:42] {curtisweese} tried to scalp, but fingers were too slow
[15:43] {curtisweese} if you are on top of your stop losses, is it so bad to jump in all the time on this RIMM kind of stock?
[15:44] {Threei} well... it's pretty much personal preferences...
[15:44] {Threei} but it comes to a question:
[15:44] {Threei} do tyou have a reason for youyr entry giverned by chart
[15:44] {Threei} or you grab something just because it's moving and you can't sdtand not to particpate
[15:45] {curtisweese} no...obviously for me...i know where i'm supposed..or think i do.....but then i miss out on big moves....you are right....just don't like sidelines

Mar 12 2008

Session Time: Wed Mar 12 00:00:00 2008

[08:27] {Threei} FIRST ANALYSIS SECURITIES CORP. RAISED TWTI TO OVERWEIGHT FROM EQUALWEIGHT, PRICE TARGET: $11
[08:28] {Threei} 03/11/08 04:01pm
[08:28] {Threei} [TWTI] Third Wave Technologies Inc. HPV clinical trial achieves primary clinical endpoints
[08:28] {Threei} - Company achieved all primary clinical endpoints in clinical trials of its human papillomavirus (HPV) tests. The company expects to submit the results to the FDA for both its high-risk and 16/18 genotyping products in April.
[08:29] {magoo} morning...hey i got in normal today : )
[08:29] {Threei} woohooo
[08:29] {Threei} morning :)
[08:29] {Threei} propagation has reached you
[08:29] {tomg} me too, gm
[08:29] {Threei} tom :)
[08:33] {Threei} TIVO
[08:33] {Threei} TO PROVIDE YOUTUBE VIDEOS DIRECTLY TO THE TELEVISION
[08:37] {magoo} hey vad..last night i was thinking......
[08:38] {Threei} uh oh
[08:38] {magoo} this has been the most difficult mkt i think since i joined the room, over 2 yrs btw.............
[08:39] {magoo} and man...u have been guiding us thru it safely...profitably...so just wanted to say i have even deeper RESPECT for what u do....SERIOUSLY...
[08:39] {Threei} thank you, I sppreciate the acknowledgement
[08:40] {magoo} now..................
[08:40] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:40] {Threei} uh oh
[08:40] {Threei} lol
[08:40] {magoo} don't want us getting too sappy he he
[08:40] {Threei} ugh... I just got my hopes up
[08:40] {Threei} thought I'd go and slack for the month or so
[08:41] {Threei} if I may comment on that (somewhat) seriously,
[08:41] {Threei} I mean as much as I am capable of being serious which is not too much
[08:41] {Threei} two things make it possible
[08:42] {Threei} first, when you stop worrying about all the underlyings, fundamentals, etc
[08:42] {Threei} and have the notion of trading the price patterns as best as you can deeply ingrained
[08:42] {Threei} you become liberated,
[08:42] {Threei} as opposite to prisoners of their pre-formed opinions.
[08:43] {cosmo} let go... let good
[08:43] {Threei} They, prisoners, get themselves convinced about certain direction
[08:43] {Threei} then market disapoints them
[08:43] {Threei} ('cause that's what market does)
[08:43] {Threei} and not being able to let go and trade what they see vs what they think, they become frustrated,
[08:44] {Threei} console themselves thinking "manipulation, fabricated move" etc
[08:44] {Threei} which may very well be true
[08:44] {Threei} but does nothing for their trading
[08:44] {_pit} good morning all and ty Vad for helping me finally get hooked up
[08:44] {Threei} as such notion frees them from responsibility
[08:44] {Threei} hi pit, welcome :)
[08:45] {Threei} and if one is not responsible, one has no insentive to learn
[08:45] {Threei} (why bother if someone will manipulate against me anyway).
[08:45] {Threei} second,
[08:46] {Threei} and very important,
[08:46] {Threei} any drastic market change inevitably creates period in which you, the trader, have not adjusted yet
[08:46] {Threei} You can't change the same day market does,
[08:47] {Threei} if you do that you will confuse ewvery little freak move for serious change, and will get clobbered on every flip-flop.
[08:47] {Threei} It takes a bit of time to recognize the change as a change and not a fluke,
[08:48] {Threei} and to find how you adapt.
[08:48] {Threei} So, during this period your performance WILL suffer
[08:48] {Threei} and you remember us having couple weeks or so of lukewarm trading
[08:48] {Threei} herein lies the challenge:
[08:49] {Threei} when you traded for as long as I did (or Raven for that matter who started trading when T-Rex ruled the Earth)
[08:49] {Threei} you simply ignore those periods,
[08:49] {Threei} you KNOW it will pass, too.
[08:49] {Threei} happened to you zillion times,
[08:49] {Threei} and every time you came ahead.
[08:50] {Threei} You are confident in your ability to adapt,
[08:50] {Threei} and you know this period of adaptation is normal
[08:50] {Threei} newer trader however gets greatly discouraged
[08:50] {Threei} frustrated
[08:50] {Threei} beats himself up
[08:50] {cosmo} then buys real estate....sheesh
[08:50] {Threei} takes it as evidence of him not being able to master this thing
[08:51] {Threei} yeah :)
[08:51] {Threei} as if he is expected to win every frikin trade and every frikin day.
[08:51] {Threei} As nice as we performed yeaterday, we had one trade of the "frustrating" kind
[08:52] {Threei} RIMM, breakout long
[08:52] {Threei} thing did everything we counted on
[08:52] {Threei} but first it stopped us out
[08:52] {Raven} 3 T-Rex ... sigh ... old friend :)
[08:52] {Threei} oh Hi R :)
[08:52] {Raven} 3 I'm always watching
[08:52] {Threei} such trades help separated men from boys
[08:52] {Threei} I know and appreciate :)
[08:53] {Threei} boys get frustrated and discouraged
[08:53] {Threei} men know it's a part of the game,
[08:53] {cosmo} and birds?
[08:53] {Threei} tribute to market's uncertainty
[08:53] {Threei} and simply move to the next trade.
[08:53] {Raven} 3 morn there, cosmo :)
[08:53] {Threei} Birds, those flock
[08:53] {cosmo} :)
[08:54] {Threei} don't ask where, my knowledge about birds got pretty much exhausted on that line
[08:54] {Threei} I am not good at botany
[08:54] {Raven} 3 arghhhh
[08:54] {cosmo} those flocking birds....sigh
[08:54] * Threei is hiding under the nearest rock
[08:54] {Raven} 3 they're coming North cosmo ...
[08:55] {Raven} 3 {-------- looking for fish
[08:55] {Raven} 3 damn thang is still frozen ...
[08:56] {cosmo} you need algore

[08:57] {Raven} 3 lol
[08:57] {dptl} good morning all
[08:58] {Threei} dp :)

[09:34] {bruce} k vad - thanx
[09:34] {magoo} TWTI avail short to laerheads vad..not in
[09:34] {Threei} .26 now a trigger on CSCO, if holding above .15

[10:10] {bruce} yeah thtt sorry
[10:10] {esemde} very strange
[10:10] {Threei} some quirk with particular broker and their reflection of ticker ese...

[10:17] {esemde} was just thinking the same thing from my solar screen
[10:18] {esemde} can't find a place to get in.....
[10:19] {magoo} in akns
[10:19] {dino} sm l gpor .65
[10:19] {bruce} out blud +.09 - got nervous on that downtick dino
[10:20] {dino} yeah, that was brutal, 24 cents in a blink
[10:20] {Threei} FCEL, if pulls back closer to 6 I am interested
[10:20] {dino} epay
[10:21] {bruce} should go but have a couple losses and need to protect profits
[10:21] {esemde} Magoo where did you get in on AKNS
[10:22] {dino} nazdaq
[10:22] {bruce} lltcbreak vad
[10:22] {bruce} thoughts on it?
[10:22] {Threei} like daily, a bit confused on intraday
[10:22] {bruce} k- does seem to be chopping
[10:22] {Threei} can't make up my mind on it
[10:22] {Threei} pullback was much deeper than I likle to see on breakout plays
[10:23] {Threei} but if market is done shaking out, this one goes much higher
[10:23] {Threei} 30 was serious resistance to break
[10:23] {dino} missed epay, wasnted .90
[10:24] {bruce} nearly 40c pullback - quite a lot for that stock
[10:27] {magoo} vad on LLTC..held rather well in that mkt downdraft in my o
[10:27] {dino} out blud .74, +.24
[10:27] {Threei} true mags... I am just having troubles finding reliable entry on it
[10:28] {Threei} initial break hasn't triggered and got invalidated,
[10:28] {magoo} understood..and i not in..observing
[10:28] {Threei} bounce entry failed and stock made new low for the day
[10:28] {dino} gpor stop to .04
[10:28] {Threei} bounce was good after that, stronger that the market
[10:28] {Threei} so it's a candidate, but I can't pinpoint it
[10:28] {Threei} maybe forms something later
[10:29] {dino} out gpor slip.00, +.40
[10:29] {dino} .35 opps
[10:29] {magoo} DDIIIIIINNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[13:18] {Threei} e-mail of the kind that make my day if not week
[13:18] {Threei} After reading your book "Techniques of Tape Reading" the second time a few
[13:18] {Threei} months ago, it finally made sense in a big way. Definitely the best book
[13:18] {Threei} written on the stock market in the last 50 years - at least. Your
[13:18] {Threei} description of the 6 phases of market movement (rally / decline) is simply
[13:18] {Threei} brilliant. Thank you for bringing this book to the market!!
[13:18] {Threei} After the 2nd read, I started to tape record the market every day and watch
[13:18] {Threei} several hours each night. It is amazing to watch intuition develop. Your
[13:18] {Threei} "look for the false reality that the market wants you to see" is incredibly
[13:18] {Threei} powerful technique.

[11:11] {Threei} RIMM slow... who would have thought we were to hear that ever
[11:12] {magoo} out 96
[11:12] {magoo} TY vad
[11:12] {tomg} me too, ty vad
[11:12] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} I wish I would've played RIMM :(....but still good morning on other trades :) thanks Vad
[11:13] {Threei} welcome guys
[11:13] {magoo} U DA MAN
[11:13] {Chaeron} there will be more Mr. Howell
[11:14] {GeoArb} quick question ....do people here use a separate charting software than their execution platform?
[11:14] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} I'm kinda sketchy 'bout RIMM APPL.....old war wounds
[11:14] {GeoArb} for e.g esignal AND laser
[11:15] {Threei} why Geo
[11:16] {Threei} laser has its own charting
[11:16] {Chaeron} nice ones too :)
[11:16] {GeoArb} i guess its my distrust holdover from my futures trading days
[11:16] {Threei} I see no need for axtra expense
[11:16] {GeoArb} never show setups on execution...... so curious
[11:17] {GeoArb} ok
[11:17] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} esignal is excellent but too expensive unless you're making consistant $$$
[11:17] {GeoArb} i have tradestation with some programmed patterns... so wondering if i need it
[11:17] {GeoArb} will trade thru laser though
[11:18] {Chaeron} never a slow ex on Laser with me Geo... too fast sometimes... (cause of my second doubts :)
[11:18] {GeoArb} ok
[11:18] {GeoArb} thanks guys
[11:20] {bruce} personally geo - I just use laser - hate the charts though - esignal is much cleaner and easier to read
[11:20] {magoo} personnally, laser charts are by far best i've used
[11:20] {magoo} been w/ 5 other brokers too before laser
[11:21] {bruce} don't want to spend money on extras now but would get esignal if capital allowed
[11:21] {GeoArb} thanks for the tips... starting to close down tradestation
[11:21] {GeoArb} 5k stuck there for no reason
[11:21] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} Its better to get used to chartware like Lasers...I know some guys that get used to the luxuries of esignal and then cant go back to basic chartware ever again
[11:21] {GeoArb} true
[11:22] {GeoArb} i have wasted months on ninja... then realized i was enjoying programming it more than trading so left :)
[11:22] {GeoArb} simplify
[11:23] {bruce} if you do any longer term trades it's nice to have a wekly chart - and laser doesn't even have that at all
[11:23] {GeoArb} i can always use my longtermbroker for that
[11:23] {GeoArb} thanks
[11:23] {GeoArb} dont want to distract you guys from making money too much :0
[11:23] {Threei} iof you ned weekly chart why would need any software at all?
[11:24] {Threei} go to yahoo or any other financial webpage
[11:24] {Threei} and get it for free
[11:24] {dino} indeed
[11:24] {GeoArb} yes
[11:24] {Threei} it's not like you need weekly chart real time
[11:24] {magoo} u gonna get it now bruce : )
[11:24] {bruce} true vad - justa nuisance to look up diferent places
[11:24] {Threei} 15 min delay is acceptable I'd think :)
[11:25] {Threei} I'll be damned if I pay for whol,e other charting package to avid that nuisance :)
[11:25] {GeoArb} i must say this is one of the most focussed rooms i have been in
[11:25] {Threei} avoid
[11:25] {GeoArb} thanks guys
[11:26] {dino} you won't thank us when your memory goes
[11:26] {dino} :)
[11:27] {dptl} wm news or what?
[11:27] {dino} y
[11:27] {Threei} HEARING RENEWED RUMORS THAT WM WILL GET A CAPITAL INFUSION FROM WARREN BUFFETT - today's rumor is that Buffett will infuse about $3B into WM through a 9% convertible security
[11:27] {dptl} oh...ty
[11:27] {magoo} WaMu?
[11:28] {Threei} over 1.5 points on vague rumor?
[11:28] {bruce} bsc may bounce near here dino
[11:29] {magoo} RIMM may xplode..mot in yet
[11:29] {dino} hmmm bsc, might be easier to short wm
[11:30] {magoo} ii sent warren email...my acct needs modest capital infusion
[11:30] {dino} lol
[11:31] {magoo} hey vad..have u noticed imprionvemt in my typing?
[11:31] {magoo} been taking a class
[11:31] {Threei} I did too but I probably shouldn't have informed him that I intended to disappear in thin air forever after that infusion
[11:31] {dino} just what we need, more from magoo
[11:31] {Threei} I suspect that could make him a little hesitant
[11:31] {Chaeron} "imprionvemt " - what a word to mess up on in that last post.. LOL
[11:31] {bruce} nvda possible long setup here
[11:32] {Threei} chaeron... I was getting myself off the floor about that :)
[11:32] {Threei} certain imprionvemt mags... but got more work to do still
[11:32] {dino} snmx
[11:32] {Threei} goods start though
[11:35] {bruce} out nvda - qucik scalp +.10
[11:36] {dino} gj
[11:37] {bruce} lol peanut trade dino but stop was only 3c
[11:38] {dino} it all adds up
[11:38] {bruce} yes
[11:41] {Threei} I for one never ignored those
[11:41] {bruce} any thoughts on rimmsky as retracement long vad?
[11:41] {Threei} when I see little but very clear and reliable scalp I grab it
[11:41] {bruce} looks like support about .50 with trend up now
[11:41] {Threei} no, not very clear bruce
[11:41] {bruce} k
[11:41] {Threei} can work or fail with the same odds
[11:42] {Threei} and stop is not as negligible that could grab it for the little risk alone
[11:42] {bruce} I like it long here - market not helping though
[11:45] {GeoArb} one more Q :) trade the news text vs briefing?
[11:45] {GeoArb} any tips?
[11:46] {Threei} brie4fing is not exactly news service
[11:46] {GeoArb} ok
[11:46] {GeoArb} seems TTN is 85 after realitytrader discount for equities
[11:46] {Threei} hmm?
[11:46] {Threei} that sounds very high
[11:47] {Chaeron} 45
[11:47] {Chaeron} for text only
[11:47] {GeoArb} https://www.tradethenews.com/subscribe.asp

[11:54] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} inflation?

[11:57] {GeoArb} yeah thats the guy
[11:57] {GeoArb} he knows
[11:57] {dino} vivo fast fall
[11:58] {Threei} tell him he can halve the price for you
[11:58] {GeoArb} :)
[11:58] {Threei} that would lead to your satisfaction
[11:58] {GeoArb} i told him not good practice tro keep me on trial while doubling in background
[11:58] {GeoArb} heh
[11:58] {Threei} aso who hasn't heard yet - over next weekend RT doubles in price

[12:17] {bruce} suck a lemon vad
[12:18] {curtisweese} out on RIMM short -$.1
[12:18] {bruce} will cheer you up
[12:22] {magoo} i think rimm dgonna go
[12:22] {curtisweese} short RIMM 95.74 hehehhe
[12:22] {magoo} u won't be laughing
[12:28] {curtisweese} out on RIMM short +$.21
[12:28] {curtisweese} should have sold half only, but was scared :(
[12:28] {magoo} good read on it : )
[12:28] {magoo} laugh away
[12:28] {bruce} you were right vad - long din't hit one to 1 on that one
[12:28] {curtisweese} i was about to do it and then you said it too, so that was enough for me to tap the button...lol
[12:29] {curtisweese} maybe my exit was right point....looks to bounce back now with market
[12:30] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} curtis: so you are saying magoo is contrarian indicator for RIMM? :)
[12:30] {curtisweese} lol
[12:30] {curtisweese} i think we get a .20 pop hear for the teacup handle
[12:31] {curtisweese} bought 95.46
[12:34] {curtisweese} out on RIMM -$.10 again
[12:36] {curtisweese} i think my stop was too tight....sigh
[12:38] {curtisweese} or not......whew!
[12:38] {bruce} stop looking pretty nice now isn't it?
[12:38] {curtisweese} yes....very
[12:38] {curtisweese} now it is short city
[12:39] {bruce} yes - seems so
[12:39] {curtisweese} then back up again then down then up then down
[12:39] {bruce} may bounce on 95
[12:46] {curtisweese} yeah, i think market may take some profits and RIMM lose $1 with it, but i hate doing those long shorts.....way too scary
[12:46] {magoo} naz double bottom here vad?
[12:47] {Threei} breakdown is equally probable here
[12:47] {Threei} don't pish it right now
[12:47] {Threei} push
[12:48] {Threei} it's a kind of defining moment for today,
[12:48] {Threei} bear takes over again or bull stumps it out
[12:48] {dino} ehth stopped -.44
[12:48] {Threei} my personal bet would be on bear
[12:48] {judi} ............................................................................................................
[12:48] {Threei} but I don't want to get between them right now
[12:48] {magoo} waiting for u and "the pitch" as coach dino would say
[12:49] {curtisweese} s RIMM again...hehehe... 95.02
[12:51] {curtisweese} out at 95.02...just paid the $7 trade fee and bailed......chickened out!! doh
[12:51] {judi} still looking rimm? long or short?
[12:52] {curtisweese} darn! i'm such a chicken...sigh
[12:53] {curtisweese} would have been a huge play
[12:55] {Threei} SEC"S COX: AGENCY AHS COMFORT WITH BSC'S CAPITAL
[12:55] {Threei} this is what sent indices up just now
[12:55] {Threei} IMO... this bounce won't hold
[12:56] {curtisweese} s RIMM again 95.06
[12:56] {Threei} BSC rumors were largely discounted as unsubstantil before this news
[12:57] {curtisweese} too early...doh!!!
[12:57] {judi} just did rimm .10 long
[12:57] {Threei} sheesh... you guys are all so trigger happy :)
[12:59] {Threei} amazing timing whoever did that headline... just when market lost important support and was ready for a plunge
[13:00] {magoo} plunge control team vad
[13:00] {Threei} if that's them, gotta give it to them...
[13:01] {curtisweese} that one hurt. -$.23 on short...doh
[13:01] {dino} efut
[13:01] {Threei} curtis, wait a second before entering next one
[13:01] {Threei} let me say couple words
[13:02] {curtisweese} ok....
[13:02] {Threei} promise you won't hit entry until I am done? :)
[13:02] {curtisweese} yes
[13:02] {Threei} 'cause with you it's alway a question, you know, lol
[13:02] {curtisweese} hahaha
[13:02] {Threei} this last entry on a short side was IMO pure impulsive trade on your part
[13:02] {judi} what's lol?
[13:03] {Threei} never take the trade like this on price alone
[13:03] {curtisweese} laugh out loud
[13:03] {Threei} laughing out loud, judi
[13:03] {Threei} here is what I mean
[13:03] {Threei} some trades allow for particular very defined setup
[13:03] {Threei} in such cases we call it to the cent,
[13:03] {Threei} like:
[13:04] {Threei} .51 trigger, .129 stop
[13:04] {Threei} but then there are others,
[13:04] {Threei} they have general idea of the trade, for instance:
[13:04] {Threei} short bounce into resistance 25.50
[13:04] {Threei} on this kind you don't go just off the price .50,
[13:05] {Threei} you need action to confirm that resistance holds
[13:05] {curtisweese} ahh
[13:05] {Threei} as an example:
[13:05] {Threei} stock bounces into .50,
[13:05] {Threei} can't break it,
[13:05] {Threei} retreats to .40,
[13:05] {Threei} bounces into .50 again,
[13:05] {Threei} can't break it
[13:05] {Threei} and loses .40
[13:05] {Threei} This is where you get your short on .40 breakdown
[13:05] {judi} referring to a specific stock as example?
[13:06] {Threei} If however you try to short of the price alone
[13:06] {curtisweese} i'm too greedy and trying to get the extra .10 which is wrong
[13:06] {Threei} you run risk to short into pure buying
[13:06] {Threei} and stock will simpl,y run you over cutting through that resistance
[13:06] {Threei} no judi, describing typical scenario
[13:06] {curtisweese} how about a team short now? :)
[13:07] {Threei} have a look at RIMM right now
[13:07] {Threei} .60 closest resistance,
[13:07] {Threei} .45 closest support
[13:07] {Threei} you want a structured meaningful short - short break of support IF resistance is holding
[13:07] {Threei} then you have nicely defined stop above .60
[13:08] {Threei} and good chance for your tarde to work
[13:08] {Threei} it's up to trading gods whether it works or not of course
[13:08] {Threei} but you did your part
[13:08] {curtisweese} i shorted it at .4
[13:08] {Threei} and have a look ... you got 1:1 already
[13:09] {Threei} with that short into spike you didn't even have a criteria for a stop placement
[13:09] {curtisweese} out +$.18
[13:09] {Threei} as chart never showed any indication of the nearest resistance.
[13:09] {Threei} don't shoot from the hip, structure your trades
[13:09] {curtisweese} should have done half, but am gunshy ...which is good!
[13:09] {Threei} you have one good book in your possession
[13:10] {Threei} which describes the process of structuring the trade in such details
[13:10] {Threei} that I want to shake author's hand if/when I meet him
[13:10] {Threei} read it, follow it
[13:10] {Threei} it's not there just for show, trust me
[13:11] {judi} which book?
[13:11] {Threei} The Master Profit Plan
[13:11] {Threei} I know curtis has it
[13:11] {Threei} (I also suspect he never bothered to read more than table of content)
[13:11] {judi} author? you?
[13:11] * Threei is hiding under the nearest rock
[13:11] {Threei} yes, lol
[13:12] {dino} lol
[13:12] {curtisweese} hahahahah...no, i've read about half of books.....went through all videos though....next week i finish everything
[13:12] {dino} bruce efut
[13:12] {Threei} cool beans curtis
[13:12] {curtisweese} i have to take off early for dr appt today.....blech!!!
[13:13] {Threei} I hope blech is not the diagnosis
[13:13] {dino} no, beans are the problem
[13:13] {Threei} oh boy... crawling under the desk laughing
[13:19] {curtisweese} bought RIMM breaking through 95.61
[13:19] {judi} still looking at rimm?
[13:21] {curtisweese} out +.$.10
[13:21] {curtisweese} just getting back the .10 i lost earlier
[13:21] {curtisweese} now for the .20 i lost
[13:26] {curtisweese} in on RIMM from 95.82
[13:27] {curtisweese} .out on RIMM +.11
[13:27] {magoo} boy that guy can dance
[13:29] {judi} vad are we watching rimm, resistance became 96.01, now keeping going up or what?
[13:29] {bruce} you shorted efut dino?
[13:30] {Threei} I don't have any clean setup here for it
[13:30] {dino} couldn't get it
[13:31] {judi} that's what we want to understand, we see it go and want to jump in, know it's wrong
[13:31] {Threei} the reason for entry is a valid setup in terms of one's sytem, not simply the fact of the movement
[13:31] {bruce} k
[13:32] {bruce} watching wlp for long dino
[13:33] {dino} ouch
[13:34] {bruce} still a short at moment
[13:35] {dino} aet may be safer
[13:35] {dino} masi bounce in the mking
[13:36] {dino} darn patrial fill 100 at .30
[13:38] {curtisweese} RIMM looks to hve bounced off resistance....i'm in at 96.07 for the short
[13:39] {bruce} aet looks good
[13:39] {bruce} long .70
[13:39] {bruce} stop .62

[13:41] {curtisweese} i will try and get back before close.....thanks for the lessons Threei....you da man!!!!@2
[13:41] {curtisweese} should have stayed with that short...doh
[13:42] {judi} what's doh?
[13:42] {curtisweese} homer simpson
[13:43] {curtisweese} cartoon "The Simpsons"
[13:44] {dino} cracking me up
[13:54] {judi} nvda set up? earlier cup handle?
[13:55] {Threei} questionable one
[13:55] {judi} k
[13:55] {Threei} has a chance to work if NQ stages big move
[13:55] {Threei} but overall, it's a bit narrow today
[13:55] {Threei} would require a lot of help from market
[13:56] {judi} good to know
[14:00] {magoo} can someone here convert millimeters {mm} to inches for magoo??
[14:00] {Threei} how many mm?
[14:00] {magoo} 740 mm
[14:00] {bruce} rimm long at .97 if holding 96}85?

[09:07] {dino} opps, caps lock
[09:08] {cosmo} actually, the world is just beginning......again
[09:09] {Threei} I successfully managed to et about 5 people to hate me passionately... they called to cplain about huge snowstornm, and I (kindly as usual) pondered out loud whether to mow my grass today or wait till next week
[09:09] {Threei} best way to get "I hate you", works every time

[09:27] {Threei} hi lum
[09:27] {bruce} it is for me lum
[09:28] {Threei} we had somewhat indecendtly good week last week... as Mondays often do, this morning looks fairly uncertain
[09:28] {Threei} I am going to take it slowly
[09:28] {Threei} see what transpires
[09:28] {bruce} takes about 76 tries on average for me to correctly type a sequence of numbers like thaqt
[09:29] {Threei} why type... copy/paste works
[09:29] {bruce} dif computers for chat and email vadster
[09:29] {Threei} oh
[09:29] {cosmo} its not ethicaplus...
[09:29] {Threei} are they netwroked?
[09:30] {bruce} no - haven't bothered
[09:30] {Threei} there are rumors of emergency rate cut
[09:30] {bruce} not really a big deal anyway- just teasing
[09:30] {bruce} good to have you back dino
[09:30] {Threei} can cause abnormal volatility when they confirm or turn out bs
[09:30] {bruce} you know the wstory - good trading week during yoru absence
[09:31] {Threei} SPPI jumped out of the gate
[09:31] {Threei} not chasing
[09:31] {bruce} you goona need a month to "dry out" from holidays dino?
[09:31] {Threei} pullback closer to 3 or consolidation
[09:33] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:33] {bruce} initial market move looks to be to downside vad
[09:34] {Threei} thtt :)
[09:35] {esemde} morning...somebody still does not like me.....cannot log on automatically still
[09:35] {Threei} ese :)
[09:35] {magoo} me either, or dino

[09:35] {Threei} worth a try close to 3
[09:36] {dino} ty bruce

[09:36] {Threei} RIMM short with stop above .30
[09:36] {Threei} aww
[09:36] {Threei} late
[09:36] {Threei} yes bruce
[09:37] {Threei} watching this bounce RIMM
[09:38] {Threei} want it closer to resiatnce
[09:38] {Threei} and watch NQ, don't shoet into buying
[09:38] {bruce} me too - not taking it w .40 stop
[09:38] {Threei} no way
[09:38] {Threei} we know how violent bounces can be
[09:39] {Threei} save clean trade or let it go
[09:39] {Threei} save = safe
[09:39] {Threei} ok, both are bouncing
[09:39] {Threei} how about tat for violent?
[09:40] {Threei} no entry yet
[09:40] {Threei} market likely to jjump once more
[09:40] {Threei} in fact long for a scalp here is better idea ta the moment
[09:40] {Threei} with stop under 97
[09:41] {Threei} had to be fast, no chasing
[09:41] {magoo} in OUT
[09:41] {Threei} got .16 entry while typed alert
[09:41] {magoo} TY vad...29 to .75
[09:41] {Threei} :)
[09:41] {magoo} so fast
[09:41] {Threei} .16 - .62 here
[09:42] {Threei} now, try to do this trade AND type in the room - you can be a professional street juggler
[09:42] {magoo} really..i appreciate what u doi
[09:42] {bruce} aapl breaking long
[09:42] {Threei} ty
[09:42] {bruce} would need to consolidate a bit
[09:43] {dino} aro s .72, stop .02
[09:44] {magoo} any go for SPPI
[09:44] {Threei} yes
[09:45] {lumdus} that's a damm small run on SPPI for FDA approval
[09:45] {Threei} 3.02 with 2.94 stop
[09:45] {Threei} out
[09:46] {bruce} sppi starting to look like short
[09:47] {Threei} watching LLTC
[09:47] {Threei} not sure of setup yet
[09:47] {Threei} .37 Frid high
[09:48] {Threei} and topped out at .38 at 03/05
[09:48] {bruce} vad - you like rimm long on .34 break?
[09:49] {Threei} if holding 98
[09:49] {Threei} but then againb,
[09:49] {Threei} if NQ resumes upward from here
[09:49] {Threei} I'd just get it aggressively
[09:50] {bruce} long setup coming in lltc on 31 break
[09:50] {bruce} .31
[09:51] {Threei} yes, if holding above .20
[09:51] {Threei} from daily chart point of view that would be agressive entry
[09:51] {bruce} lloks like best prospect for moment
[09:51] {Threei} I agree
[09:52] {Threei} has salmonish look to it
[09:53] {Threei} trying
[09:53] {Threei} market help would be nice
[09:53] {bruce} l lltc at .31
[09:53] {magoo} in LLTC

[09:55] {Threei} that would take time of course which is not our friend in this market environment
[09:55] {Threei} so, either get your scalp on a good spike
[09:55] {Threei} or if you inclined to try for more
[09:55] {Threei} protect profit by partialling
[09:56] {Threei} .46 nearest resistance from 02/27

[11:36] {dino} just received an email from realtor on foreclosure i bid....they asked $65k on 1200 sq ft ranch, on 1 acre, I bid $35k, they considered it for two weeks and finally said no. in the meantime another one they wanted $120k, I bid $70k, they took it at $80 (1800 sq ft 2 story) a steal
[11:37] {dino} so got one of two
[11:37] {GeoArb} what neighbourhood/state?
[11:38] {dino} pennsylvania, great, lake neighborhood. it should go for $180k after some minor repairs
[11:38] {GeoArb} nice
[11:39] {dino} the $35k bid cracked me up tho, had fun throwing that out there, a car costs more
[11:40] {Threei} in trading it calls stink bids :)
[11:41] {dino} ahhh, but they considered it, sometimes they try to wait you out, don't doubt in 30 days they contact me

[12:33] {Threei} I am all for 50/50 trade but under ne condition only
[12:33] {Threei} one
[12:34] {Threei} entry right at support/resistance, so stop is ridiculously small
[12:34] {Threei} then it's just a risk based setup
[12:34] {Threei} kind of : to the heck with 2-5 cents stop, with such small risk I can go for coin toss

[13:29] {dino} maybe a buck or so in it
[13:29] {bruce} theres a big volume spike so maybe it's done - but I don't have any confidence in ti as long yet
[13:32] {bruce} any plays vad _ we may get boucne here - could try a long in aapl or rimm ?
[13:34] {Threei} nothing worth risk yet bruce
[13:35] {bruce} k we have 25c range forming in rimm now
[13:35] {bruce} and can go either way

[12:25] {Threei} hmmm
[12:25] {Threei} maybe that's what am I doing wrong
[12:26] {Threei} eating yes... exercising no... could that be a reason I am not losing wieght
[12:26] {Threei} nah, it can't be
[12:26] {bruce} vad - read on ebay break of 26 long?
[12:27] {Threei} it became very tough player lately
[12:27] {Threei} too narrow
[12:27] {bruce} vadgets his exericse chasing his cat away
[12:27] {Threei} not sure
[12:28] {bruce} k - thanx vad - passing on it
[12:29] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} Vad , Iwas thinking that you need stay healthy for some of our trading careers to continue, or let us take life insurance out on you :)
[12:29] {bruce} bac on break of .65 looks like it has potetnital vad
[12:30] {Threei} fe insurance? is it one of those things people get killed for?
[12:31] {bruce} l bac .65 stop .60
[12:33] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} no no, it is only to insure ourselves that if you kick the bucket then we get soem compensation (but if someone like magoo starts getting ideas ...the )
[12:33] {Threei} that's what I thought
[12:34] {curtisweese} Out RIMM short +$.39
[12:36] {curtisweese} darn ...out too early again
[12:36] {bruce} stopped bac
[12:36] {bruce} -.07
[12:37] {lumdus} xto is short
[12:38] {bruce} another swell idaea
[12:39] {bruce} lets ALL take out insurance on vadster and then get mags to do the dirty deed
[12:39] {Threei} well
[12:39] {curtisweese} RIMM's drops are flattening out.....might be time to buy on dip for big pop ....Vad, your thoughtsS?
[12:39] {bruce} I take that back
[12:39] {bruce} thats in poor taste
[12:40] {Threei} you will have to go through Yuri the Kneeshooter and Ivan the Enforcer
[12:40] {bruce} heaven forbid we ever tease in poor taste here
[12:40] {bruce} I like my knees
[12:41] {curtisweese} grrr...market can just tank though at any time, so long makes me cringe...sigh
[12:43] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} well, if you don't want o get life insurance, than maybe we can get you to eat healthier, quit smoking and exercise everyday ;()
[12:43] {Threei} you can try...
[12:44] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} Ok what is your wife's number?
[12:44] {Threei} and as long and your idea of heaalthy eating includes bacon, you WILL succeed at least in this part
[12:44] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} lol j/k
[12:44] {bruce} vad - studies prove that guys who exercise have better luck at crabbing
[12:44] {bruce} there (givning him an incentive thtt)
[12:45] {Threei} oh, no need for me to exercise then
[12:45] {bruce} lol
[12:45] {Threei} you have no idea how crabby I can be
[12:45] {dptl} lol

[09:20] {bruce} k
[09:20] {bruce} I had it on my old platform
[09:20] {bruce} I noticed that somtimes it would get rangebound
[09:21] {bruce} and whenit broke to one side or other there would often bea bigmarket spike
[09:21] {dptl} try $trin
[09:21] {bruce} we seeing a lot of spikes lately mid day
[09:21] {Threei} hmmm... that should work

[10:03] {magoo} and the skipper too
[10:03] {Threei} NVDA would have worked bruce...
[10:03] {Threei} I was wrong on it
[10:03] {bruce} lol - good one mags
[10:04] {bruce} yeah - watched it vad - you didn't have read down so thats OK
[10:04] {magoo} bruce,,see CSIQ?
[10:04] {magoo} careful with it
[10:05] {bruce} just checked it mags
[10:05] {bruce} tricky pos
[10:05] {bruce} we could try long on possible stenght
[10:05] {bruce} read on it vad?
[10:08] {bruce} l csiq .71
[10:08] {bruce} stop .50
[10:08] {magoo} man vad..down 120 and AAPL up
[10:09] {Threei} bruce, this is the right way to play it overall
[10:10] {Threei} exact entries on it are rarely possible to read
[10:10] {Threei} .50 break is probably buyable on AAPL magoo
[10:11] {Threei} with .25 as stop/invalidating level
[10:12] {Chaeron} niiiice
[10:12] {magoo} missed , went no fill
[10:12] {Threei} pulled back
[10:13] {Chaeron} same mags
[10:13] {magoo} i pulled trigger..no fill is all
[10:13] {Threei} it gave second chance after break, got to .48
[10:14] {bruce} exited csiq flat - don't like hesitation
[10:14] {Threei} third chance don't try
[10:14] {magoo} true,,but i figured that pop was your play, so cvanx order
[10:14] {Threei} if you went for second it;a fine
[10:14] {Threei} but third retest I don't like
[10:15] {magoo} cnbc AAPL
[10:15] {magoo} new product today
[10:15] {Threei} 1:1
[10:21] {Threei} EBAY long here
[10:21] {Threei} .81 - .82
[10:21] {Threei} stop .69
[10:22] {magoo} in
[10:23] {magoo} i like csiq here long...risjy
[10:23] {bruce} yeah - showing some strength now mags
[10:23] {bruce} if you
[10:23] {bruce} still in aapl nice win vad
[10:24] {Threei} let's tighten EBAY to .74
[10:24] {Threei} I'd expect bigger spike on that NQ run, prefer to be safe
[10:24] {Threei} you still holsing it bruce?
[10:25] {Threei} wow
[10:26] {bruce} no_ i missed it vad
[10:27] {Threei} oh :(
[10:33] {Threei} my plan for EBAY is to keep stop at .74 for now, to partial out at 1:1, trail stop to the level undetermined yet, see if we get real rally and EBAY over yesterday's high 27.13
[10:33] {Threei} aimm you made it :)
[10:33] {aimm} yes
[10:34] {aimm} thank you
[10:34] {Threei} always
[10:35] {magoo} u got full lot EBAY?
[10:35] {magoo} or DL?
[10:35] {Threei} watching this AAPL little pullback for stop level on .46 break
[10:35] {bruce} youyou in csiq mags?
[10:35] {GeoArb} whats the average full lot?
[10:35] {bruce} I'm thinking break orf 23
[10:35] {bruce} 50 k geo
[10:35] {magoo} yes, from earluier call..in .87
[10:35] {GeoArb} :)
[10:35] {bruce} k good entry
[10:35] {Threei} full mags, wanted double but changed my mind
[10:36] {Threei} dunno why
[10:36] {Threei} geo, that depends on one's risk tolerance
[10:36] {Threei} you'll find etailed instructions in MPP
[10:36] {GeoArb} ok... yeah hoping to get it in a few days
[10:37] {Threei} .20 support on AAPL guys
[10:38] {Threei} break of .50 should start next leg
[10:38] {GeoArb} just sent my funding and paperwork over
[10:39] {GeoArb} will do 100shares till i see some consistency
[10:42] {dptl} stopped ebay
[10:42] {Threei} yup
[10:42] {bruce} 20 support no longer valid for aapl vad
[10:42] {bruce} if we do .50 break we have a 50 stop
[10:42] {Threei} market drop took AAPL lower bruce, but AAPL actually held better than this drop would have one to expect
[10:43] {Threei} play strcture is likely to be different but idea is still there
[10:43] {Threei} I'll yell if/when it shapes up
[10:43] {Threei} glad we tightened EBAY
[10:43] {bruce} yes = it can definitely move higher - we just need to pick entry w small risk
[10:44] {Threei} would have hit initial stop anyway
[10:45] {bruce} we could try a pullback entry if it bounces near 126.8
[10:45] {bruce} any thoughts on that?
[10:45] {Threei} friking NQ spliked sharply
[10:45] {Threei} I was more tuned into .50 support
[10:46] {GeoArb} vad do you get your nq data through laser too?
[10:46] {Threei} but wolves decided otherwise
[10:46] {Threei} yes geo but NQ is separate pay
[10:46] {GeoArb} yeah
[10:46] {Threei} I'd advise to use free proxy for now
[10:46] {Threei} don't spend more than you have to
[10:46] {bruce} k thanx vad
[10:46] {GeoArb} cme emini sub
[10:46] {Threei} $NDX, QQQQ
[10:47] {GeoArb} i get it for free through thinkorswim
[10:47] {Threei} they all will work good enough as a proxy
[10:47] {GeoArb} just need to open diff platform
[10:47] {bruce} csiq triggered then faded- starting to look like short to me mags
[10:48] {magoo} tough one bruce

[10:55] {dptl} ok ty
[10:57] {Threei} I am trailing my balance to 2.09

[11:00] {Threei} AAPL, would you break that .50 for me please?
[11:00] {Threei} {AAPL} do I know you?
[11:00] {magoo} just say please
[11:01] {Threei} see, it's not that bad when you talk to stocks... it's when they start talking back to you that is troublesome...
[11:01] {Threei} CPST, my little beauty

[11:09] {bruce} no - wanted it closer to .50
[11:12] {bruce} notmuch bounce to aapl
[11:13] {Threei} just a scalp if enter in .70, then NQ drops again
[11:13] {Threei} I'd leave it alone for now, too fast

[11:15] {Threei} 1:1 and more
[11:17] {Threei} second exit chance AAPL if missed first time

[11:56] {Threei} not going up with NQ spike
[11:57] {Threei} if works, I may try to partial and hold onto half

[11:58] {Threei} .70, over 1:2
[11:58] {Threei} same stop
[11:59] {Chaeron} Moscow has overtaken New York City as home to the most billionaires, according to Forbes magazine, with 74 of the super-rich elite now counting the Russian capital as their home.

[12:02] {Threei} why offer bruce?
[12:02] {Threei} why not hit the bid?
[12:02] {magoo} but out too early .65
[12:02] {magoo} ty
[12:02] {Threei} 2-3 cents difference
[12:03] {Threei} immaterial for a stock like RIMM
[12:03] {magoo} [12:02] {magoo} i did
[12:03] {bruce} probably should have on that play - aways try to keep stops as small as possible
[12:03] {magoo} 12:02] {magoo} but out too early .65
[12:03] {Threei} thank you magoo
[12:04] {magoo} i always go whica if u remind me
[12:04] {magoo} so u know u not wasting your efforts
[12:04] {Threei} good to know
[12:05] {magoo} but like i was saying other day.for instance.i may get going onto others and forget your exas call
[12:06] {magoo} if u quickly put in room when u going i would appreciate
[12:06] {bruce} \vad- aapl long here?
[12:06] {Threei} nah
[12:06] {Threei} bounce on low volume right into resistance
[12:06] {Threei} if anything it's a short
[12:09] {magoo} in out
[12:09] {magoo} no kidding
[12:09] {magoo} sh aapl 126

[12:09] {Threei} easy money
[12:09] {magoo} EASY button

[12:10] {magoo} if an easy button goes off in an office with noone there.......does it make a sound}???
[12:10] {patience} you missing dino, magoo?
[12:11] {magoo} yeah.all the beers gone..his responncibilkity to keep fridge stocked
[12:11] {magoo} mine to empty it
[12:11] {patience} well, you've done your duty then
[12:12] {patience} just have some beer delivered in dino's absence and charger it to him. seems fair
[12:12] {Threei} AAPL's death was fast and horrible
[12:13] {magoo} scalpers regrett
[12:13] {Threei} RIMM did exactly same thing, bounced into resistance on low volume... but I was hesitant to go to the same well too many times
[12:13] {Threei} (idiot)
[12:14] {Threei} nearest resistance is .20 RIMM
[12:15] {Threei} sewe if it can get close to it for a tight stop on lower volume, then NQ drop pulls rug from under it again
[12:17] {bruce} looks like q's bounced here yesterday vad
[12:17] {bruce} may take a couple tires before another break works

[12:21] {bruce} rimm closing in on .20
[12:22] {Threei} hmmm
[12:22] {Threei} it went a bit too low last time around
[12:22] {bruce} we're waiting for weakenss to short?
[12:22] {Threei} not sure setup is still valid after that long
[12:22] {bruce} k- I'm a bit nervous aboutshort now
[12:22] {Threei} don't know bruce, it's completely different situation now
[12:23] {GeoArb} i am off to work.... good trading to all
[12:23] {Threei} look at the chart at the moment of alert, cover this last spike with sheet of paper
[12:23] {Threei} you'll see clean bear flag
[12:23] {Threei} but if you take that cover away, it's a very different chart now
[12:25] {magoo} bye Geo
[12:26] {bruce} I thought bear flag was sharp drop w a trangle type formation - I don't see that
[12:26] {bruce} do see the steady down trend though prior to this retrace
[12:26] {Threei} flag is retracement
[12:27] {Threei} 12:12 - 12:16 is a flag
[12:27] {bruce} k- got you - in that case we should haveseen weakenss at .20
[12:27] {bruce} deifinitley diferent story now
[12:33] {bruce} q's huging lows again
[12:39] {Threei} feels more like bounce coimng this time
[12:39] {Threei} RIMM probably worth a tgry, very close to support
[12:39] {magoo} say whjen

[12:41] {Threei} hmm?
[12:41] {Threei} what short
[12:41] {Threei} [12:39] {Threei} feels more like bounce coimng this time
[12:41] {Threei} but hey... if you are short, we are hedged
[12:41] {Threei} one of us will make money
[12:41] {Chaeron} I'm long

[13:14] {Threei} case where news makes a stock independent
[13:15] {bruce} yep
[13:15] {Threei} and since it was news about AAPL, took market a few to decode what it means for RIMM

[15:25] {Threei} "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. This issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property
[15:25] {Threei} until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of the moneyed corporations which already dare to challenge our Government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country"

[09:00] (Threei} nope
[09:02] (tomg} ok, ty, i watched a lot of the videos but didn't see it mentioned

[09:10] (Threei} maybe need INET now
[09:10] (tomg} it won't let me type anything in that box
[09:10] (Threei} try different ways
[09:11] (magoo} but, d u see my last post vad?o

[09:16] (Threei} now you have those boxes you didn't
[09:16] (magoo} is that the buy/sell setup u use?i
[09:16] (Threei} yes
[09:17] (Threei} I like having separate buttons for limit and market
[09:17] (Threei} instead of using arrow-dropdown menu to change it

[09:21] (Threei} gotta get used to it, it's somewhat unusual
[09:21] (Threei} but has some very powerful features
[09:21] (tomg} so, you have to type stops into OMS module?
[09:22] (Threei} click Add a new order button
[09:22] (Threei} set it there
[09:22] (tomg} ah, ok, i see it, ty
[09:22] (Threei} keep in mind that for it to go live you need to click green triangle
[09:23] (tomg} ok
[09:23] (Threei} until you do that, it's waiting for you to start it
[09:23] (Threei} you can stop it without deleting, then restart it
[09:23] (Threei} or modify
[09:23] (Threei} etc
[09:23] (tomg} red box to stop, green to resume
[09:23] (tomg} cool

[13:06] (Threei} another crazy... FEED
[13:06] (Threei} looks like going to bust through 12
[13:06] (Threei} no call, risk is too high
[13:22] (Threei} this market belongs to mental institution
[13:25] (Threei} very prone to jump any direction on any kind of news or rumors
[13:26] (magoo} more news coming aBK CNBC
[13:27] (Threei} FILES PRELIMINARY MIXED SECURITIES OFFERING PROSPECTUS; NO TERMS SPECIFIED - FILING- ABK states we intend to contribute the net proceeds of this offering, as well as the net proceeds of the concurrent offering of Equity Units, to Ambac Assurance in order to increase its capital position, less approximately $100M, which we intend to retain at Ambac Financial Group, Inc. to provide incremental holding company liquidity to pay principal and interest on its indebtedness, to pay its operating
[13:27] (Threei} and other expenses and to pay dividends on its capital stock.
[13:27] (Threei} - ABK states it will also file to sell a separate prospectus supplement, offering an undisclosed amount of Equity Units.
[13:27] (Threei} - Will stop underwriting CDOs, mortgage backed securities, notes efforts are to keep Moody's, S&P ratings, do not expect to get stable outlook from S&P or Moodys(
[13:28] (Threei} none of it sounds very good
[13:28] (Threei} or any good for that matter
[13:29] (magoo} dow red
[13:31] (Threei} Oil prices continued to climb higher as traders pushed the April contract further away from the psychologically important $100 handle following the confirmation of a breakout. Since crude bulls remain in charge of the price action, further moves to the upside will most likely see prices heading higher with a close above $105/bbl most likely seeing a further gain in the upside momentum. As this trend gains in strength, traders should be aware of strong backwardation taking place as front months accelerate
[13:31] (Threei} further and the spread with back months continues to widen. A confirmation of a new trend has been given by a strong positioning of the spread traders in bull calendar spreads
[13:31] (Threei} backwardation?
[13:35] (magoo} ABK opening 10.50 range on CNBC in 10 minutes
[13:36] (Threei} there are a lot of noise about fund raisning through new offerings on wires
[13:36] (Threei} don't want to post all that bs
[13:36] (magoo} nah
[13:36] (Threei} long and short of it:
[13:37] (Threei} we are screwed, we are trying to get you rescue us, we don't hold much hope but who knows, there is a sucker born every minute
[13:37] (ThurstonHowellTheThird} lol
[13:38] (ThurstonHowellTheThird} I like the reality translations
[13:38] (Threei} lol
[13:38] (Threei} how else do you translate this:
[13:38] (Threei} In addition, Ambac announced that it has concurrently commenced a public offering of Equity Units, with a stated amount of $50/unit for a total stated amount of $500 million. Ambac has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase additional Equity Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
[13:39] (Threei} see, if you grant one day, they say no
[13:39] (Threei} but if you grant 30 days, you have a chance they get really drunk on one on those days
[13:42] (Threei} look at ABK
[13:44] (Threei} great... room not accepting connections is DNS propagation issue
[13:44] (Threei} I need translator

[09:09] {magoo} thats what i wanted to know
[09:09] {Threei} it was kept up for a while bu extrenal forces,

[10:11] {GEOARB} oh... didnt get an email with link etc
[10:11] {Threei} homepage, click Login
[10:12] {Threei} just keep in mind, that course is basics,

[10:12] {GEOARB} yeah... I am wating for the nasdaq scalping CDs
[10:12] {Threei} for following what we do here it's a foundation, but not enough by itself
[10:13] {GEOARB} got in thanks.
[10:14] {Threei} :)
[10:14] {Threei} lum... look at COIN
[10:14] {Threei} see now why I am "obseesed" with it?
[10:15] {Threei} wow... ERTS went much higher
[10:15] {lumdus} well, i see
[10:15] {esemde} bstop BRKR invalidated........
[10:16] {lumdus} today is very easy and good trading. everyting behaving. i love it.
[10:16] {esemde} hmmmmmmmm this is not my day.....i see it now.....
[10:16] {Threei} why ese
[10:16] {Threei} .55 isn't tagged
[10:16] {Threei} in fact, this is low risk aggresive entry
[10:17] {Threei} with very tight stop
[10:17] {esemde} it looks like it's gonna be and the 15min chrt is looking weak
[10:18] {esemde} I still think 13.75 is a good play
[10:18] {esemde} am gonna watch it....for now
[10:19] {Threei} remember discussion of different types on entries?
[10:19] {Threei} aggressive vs regular vs conservative
[10:19] {esemde} yes
[10:19] {Threei} it's a personal preference of course
[10:19] {Threei} by my taste, I would be in .58
[10:19] {Threei} 4 cents stop
[10:19] {Threei} does it get any better than this
[10:19] {esemde} I'm not that good at judging pulbacks on the 1 min
[10:20] {Threei} thenif it works and comes into resistance, you have a mind boggling choice
[10:20] {esemde} hmmmmm
[10:20] {Threei} to grab a scalp
[10:20] {Threei} to partial put and keep half for the break
[10:20] {GEOARB} do you gus leg in or go all in?
[10:20] {GEOARB} guys
[10:20] {Threei} or to be as bold as they come and let full position to work on break or get stopped
[10:21] {Threei} I'd say, pleasant array of options for 4 cents risk
[10:21] {esemde} it was a deeper pullback .......and i didn't feel comforatble with it
[10:21] {esemde} heading up now though
[10:21] {Threei} but it held support and uoticked from it :)
[10:21] {Threei} geoarb, for a scalping full in full out
[10:21] {Threei} for daytrading full in, partialling ouyt
[10:22] {Threei} for swing trading, adding is possible BUT
[10:22] {GEOARB} thanks
[10:22] {Threei} it's not averaging down if stock moves against you, that's a no-no
[10:22] {GEOARB} ok
[10:22] {Threei} rather entry of part when it's uncertain, then adding as stock moves in your favor and breaks new resistance levels
[10:23] {GEOARB} ok
[10:24] {esemde} anyone looking at FINL as a pullback long.......this is the type of pullback that i'm use to Vad
[10:24] {lumdus} should've held mf all day, would be good for 2 weeks profit. dam crap. and i had 3 x lot

[10:48] {Threei} that's what I hope for

[10:51] {lumdus} ce ya later
[10:54] {Chaeron} .
[10:56] {Threei} feels like total breakdown is coming
[10:56] {Threei} pick your victim
[10:57] {Threei} RIMM 101
[10:57] {Threei} NVDA .11
[10:57] {Threei} AAPL .70
[10:57] {Threei} sorry, RIMM 100
[10:59] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} nvda stop .21?
[10:59] {esemde} long BRKR .76
[11:00] {Threei} either .21 or .26, both are valid depending your position size
[11:01] {Threei} ese... confess... regretting of not taking BRKR at .58-.60? :)
[11:02] {Threei} shakeout on breakdowns are not over yet...
[11:04] {magoo} to late for NVDA short vad?
[11:04] {Threei} NVDA works so far, AAPL hasn't broken resistance 121, RIMM did hit stop level
[11:04] {magoo} under 21 coming
[11:04] {Threei} no chasing for me mags
[11:04] {Threei} bear market major difficulty is regular short squeezes
[11:04] {Threei} chasing downside increases risk multifold
[11:08] {GEOARB} .
[11:16] {Threei} new low NVDA
[11:17] {Threei} 1:1 reached if your initial stop was .21
[11:18] {Threei} and even if .26
[11:18] {bruce} vad - thoughts on aapl long?
[11:18] {Threei} toughie bruce...
[11:18] {Threei} I have hard time seeing these stocks as long
[11:19] {Threei} not when market teeters on a verge of breakdown
[11:19] {bruce} k- now looks to be breakingshort but hard to tell
[11:20] {Threei} NVDA +.21... 1:3
[11:20] {Threei} even if you are determined to hold for bigger move, start protecting profits
[11:20] {magoo} wish i chased it
[11:20] {Threei} ??
[11:20] {Threei} it bounced back into trigger and even higher
[11:20] {Threei} there was no need to chase
[11:20] {magoo} [11:04] {magoo} to late for NVDA short vad?
[11:20] {magoo} [11:04] {Threei} NVDA works so far, AAPL hasn't broken resistance 121, RIMM did hit stop level
[11:20] {Threei} gave second chance
[11:20] {magoo} [11:04] {magoo} under 21 coming
[11:23] {bruce} rimm bouncing off 100 for third time - looks like bounces getting weaker
[11:23] {Threei} NASDAQ bounce on lower volume
[11:23] {Threei} in my view, just another short opportunity
[11:24] {Threei} AAPL closest resistance is .30
[11:24] {Chaeron} see magoo? the market didn't want you to miss out... it likes you :)
[11:25] {bruce} youthinkinking short aapl here vad?
[11:25] {Threei} if NQ reverses sharply while AAPL delays a little for entry
[11:25] {Threei} not into pure buying
[11:26] {Threei} see how nasty these squeezes can be?
[11:27] {Threei} NVDA is almost back into original triogger
[11:27] {esemde} OUT BRKR .00 +.24 1;1
[11:27] {bruce} hard to peg entries - retracements are pretty big
[11:27] {Threei} same idea, short if NQ reverses down quickly, and NVDA shows delay
[11:27] {Threei} wtg ese
[11:27] {Threei} good trade
[11:28] {GEOARB} vad do you trade the NQ?
[11:28] {Threei} not lately
[11:28] {Threei} mostly using it as leading indicator
[11:28] {GEOARB} ok
[11:28] {esemde} tks
[11:29] {Threei} can I annoy you a little ese?
[11:29] {Threei} please? I love annoying people so much
[11:30] {bruce} aapl trying to break down again -
[11:32] {Threei} funny... NQ is jumping up - do you see much stock's following?
[11:32] {Threei} what is it that is going up with NQ, my scanner stays red mostly
[11:33] {bruce} rimm trying to break 101 vad
[11:33] {Threei} no permission by ese... sigh...
[11:35] {Chaeron} Personally, I find annoying people without their permission is so much more satisfying... Don't you magoo? :)
[11:36] {Threei} true chaeron... I am just afraid I overdid my quota :)
[11:36] {Chaeron} quota- ok... limit? I hope there's not one......
[11:36] {magoo} :)
[11:39] {bruce} aapl break finally
[11:41] {Threei} NVDA stalled at the original trigger and dropped when NQ did
[11:41] {Threei} I didn't watch it at the moment, not sure if there was entry opportunity
[11:41] {Threei} if anyone entered let me know if you need running commentary
[11:41] {GEOARB} vad, on an average how many stock charts do you have up?
[11:41] {magoo} i do
[11:41] {magoo} short .11
[11:41] {Threei} and if you entered but too shy... stop .15
[11:42] {Threei} shy magoo... now that's the oxymoron oif the century
[11:43] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entries... 4 cents stop, already over 1:1
[11:44] {Threei} much the same as with BRKR long
[11:44] {Threei} (trying to get ese via backdoor)
[11:51] {Threei} MBI CEO REITERATES ACKMAN COMMENTS WITHOUT MERIT; ACKMAN IS 'DEAD WRONG' THAT MBIA WILL RUN OUT OF CASH

[11:53] {Threei} backing off
[11:58] {bruce} rimm as long vad?
[11:58] {Threei} it just had news, prety much ignored it
[11:58] {Threei} and siconnected from market
[11:58] {Threei} rather long than short... but I don't have much conviction
[11:59] {bruce} k was thinking possible retacement long near .20 with stop to 101 - trend looks up now
[12:01] {magoo} aapl ,ong?
[12:02] {Threei} no read on these stocks here
[12:02] {Threei} disorderly
[12:04] {bruce} charging rimm and aapl with disorderly conduct unbecoming a stock
[12:04] {Threei} lol
[12:10] {Threei} scanner barely crawling
[12:11] {bruce} mrvl longvad?
[12:11] {Threei} MRVL is very slow and narrow
[12:12] {Threei} you have enough parience to sit it out?
[12:12] {Threei} if so, pullback to .60 or so
[12:12] {bruce} thought it might move on .70 break
[12:13] {Threei} if it moves 5 cents over a few minutes, it will be like extreme running for it
[12:13] {bruce} lolo - k
[12:14] {Threei} 1 cent
[12:17] {magoo} mkt rolling a bit
[12:24] {Threei} 2 cents MRVL

[12:27] {Threei} just making fun of very narrowmovements, geoarb
[12:27] {bruce} dont even think about it geo
[12:27] {GEOARB} i dont have that kind of margin :)
[12:28] {Threei} JASO... solars are beaten down so much, you would think sun is never rising again
[12:28] {Threei} probably deserve scalp here and there
[12:28] {Threei} but overall recovery is nowhere clkose it seems

[13:11] {Threei} not sure... NQ is at the point where it can drop or spike upward with same odds
[13:11] {bruce} k
[13:12] {Threei} 50/50
[13:12] {Threei} roll a dice
[13:12] {Threei} OPEC PRES: SEES LOWER Q2 OIL DEMAND, DOES NOT THINK OPEC WILL CONSIDER INCREASING OUTPUT
[13:13] {Threei} CNBC'S GASPARINO INCREMENTAL UPDATE: NEGOTIATIONS WITH BANK CONSORTIUM GOING SLOWLY; NO DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED TOMORROW
[13:14] {Threei} this is the guy whose speculation on the deal to be announced sent market flying a week ago
[13:14] {Threei} can't believe they get away with it
[13:15] {Threei} ETFC

[13:15] {Threei} - Says no longer taking risk on asset side, sees making money from bank deposits
[13:34] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} Vad, (sorry to wake you up but...)does this market look like what happened in the tech crash of 2000?
[13:34] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} just before the big drop
[13:35] {Threei} very much so
[13:35] {Threei} storngest feeling that we are on brink of abyss
[13:36] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} I was worried you would say that :(
[13:36] {Threei} why?
[13:36] {Threei} it's quite tradeable situation
[13:36] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} Just for my longer term investments...
[13:36] {Threei} pure clean bear is a beauty
[13:36] {Threei} oh
[13:36] {Threei} sorry... my thinking just doesn't go in that direction
[13:37] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} oh well, thats why I'm diversifying into a smaller time frame
[13:37] {Threei} AAPL lod
[13:38] {Threei} .35 worth a try short if stays under .50\
[13:40] {bruce} over that already
[13:40] {bruce} waiting for next setup
[13:49] {Threei} COIN.....
[13:53] {Threei} I wish I could nail entry on this one... clear uptrending momo, but finding setup on it is not a reality
[13:53] {Threei} kind of buy and hope
[13:53] {Threei} which I am loathe to do
[14:03] {bruce} new low aapl - rimm at lod
[14:03] {Threei} really want to find short
[14:04] {Threei} gotta find the right way between violent spikes that tag stops
[14:04] {bruce} rimm here w .20 stop vad?
[14:05] {Threei} very easy to gets topped
[14:05] {Threei} I would rather try to get in a spike over logical stop lwevel
[14:05] {bruce} k
[14:07] {Threei} there
[14:07] {Threei} sharp apike, hitting stopes
[14:07] {Threei} next resistance is .50
[14:07] {magoo} let us know when u go
[14:07] {Threei} watch for entry close to it
[14:07] {bruce} you were right - it stopped out .20 without giving much of a win for short on break
[14:09] {Threei} in
[14:09] {Threei} stop over .50, ready to get out and reenter if spikes again
[14:09] {magoo} in
[14:10] {Threei} half out +.30
[14:10] {Threei} +.20, sorry
[14:10] {Threei} not trailing stop
[14:10] {Threei} still over .50
[14:10] {bruce} tried at .40 but didn't get filled
[14:10] {magoo} out .09
[14:10] {magoo} TY
[14:10] {Threei} I hit the bid bruce, .38
[14:10] {Threei} out in full
[14:11] {Threei} .90
[14:11] {Threei} +.48
[14:11] {magoo} yeah
[14:11] {Threei} this is how I want to play them... into countertrend spikes, with very tight stops
[14:12] {Threei} 13-15 cents is uncharacteristically tight stop for such stock as RIMM
[14:12] {Threei} you can play it this way only with aggressive entries
[14:12] {bruce} your .50 resiswtance was right way to play it
[14:13] {bruce} entry on break woulda stopped out
[14:13] {Threei} and even closest resistance entry woyuld
[14:13] {Threei} spike over it triggering the stops, that's the only safe entry
[14:14] {Threei} [09:35] {Threei} one stock that bothers me: COIN
[14:14] {Threei} [09:35] {lumdus} your obessed with it. get it off your screen
[14:14] {Threei} [09:36] {Threei} you'll cry when it makes new 52 weeks highs :)
[14:14] {bruce} yes - noticed that had last high at .21 which is what I thought of initially
[14:14] {Threei} how about that?
[14:15] {Threei} RIMM REMOVED FROM CONVICTION BUY LIST AT GOLDMAN SACHS (TIMING UNCERTAIN)
[14:15] {magoo} u sdtill dshort rimm half?
[14:16] {Threei} [14:10] {Threei} out in full
[14:16] {Threei} [14:11] {Threei} .90
[14:16] {Threei} [14:11] {Threei} +.48
[14:16] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[14:16] {magoo} sorry
[14:16] {Threei} too late
[14:16] {Threei} trout is unholstered
[14:16] {Threei} no way it goes back without finsing its target
[14:16] {Threei} finding
[14:17] {bruce} hmmm - rimm loses more than half its value in 6 months
[14:17] {bruce} and now goldman removes it from buy
[14:18] {bruce} makes sense now that they've dumped all on public
[14:18] {bruce} they don't want compettion when they start to accumulate agtain
[14:19] {Threei} you know... Buy rating - we have some for sale
[14:19] {Threei} Strong Buy - hey, buy it from us please, we have a lot left
[14:19] {bruce} lol
[14:19] {Threei} Striong Buy reiterated - someone! pleae! take it off our hands!
[14:19] {bruce} stong sell - stay away from stock we're buying
[14:20] {bruce} ah rimm - sogh - wish I'd got that shoprt
[14:20] {Chaeron} ... we're buying... but let us scare the price down lower first please...
[14:28] {Threei} here comes another spike NQ
[14:28] {Threei} let stops get hit,
[14:28] {Threei} then let's look for our entry
[14:29] {Threei} in RIMM terms, that would translate into something closer to 100
[14:30] {Threei} what the heck is "conviction buy list"...
[14:31] {cosmo} your legal options...
[14:31] {Threei} lol
[14:31] {cosmo} :)
[14:32] {Threei} RIMM is coming there
[14:32] {Threei} one more vertical slpike please
[14:33] {bruce} theres resistnace at 100.15 vad as well as 100
[14:33] {Threei} yes
[14:34] {Threei} what I want is RIMM cutting through those on a parabolic move
[14:34] {Threei} doesn't really matter whether it stops between them or slightly higher than .15
[14:34] {Threei} NQ reversed... isn't getting there
[14:34] {Threei} oh well
[14:35] {Threei} actaully...
[14:35] {Threei} NQ, if goes up again forms higher low on 1 min
[14:35] {Threei} RIMM is at day's low
[14:35] {Threei} will be good bounce scalp candidate
[14:35] {bruce} got you - but we should have been looking for slowdown between 100 and .15 or so then a stop of about 20c?
[14:35] {Threei} yes
[14:36] {Threei} watching for long scalp right now
[14:36] {bruce} k - thanx good advicethose stocks are tough to play - get murdered on breaks in them
[14:36] {Threei} in
[14:36] {Threei} stop .10
[14:37] {magoo} in
[14:37] {Threei} nope
[14:37] {magoo} out
[14:38] {Threei} was a shot at double bottom NQ, but it failed
[14:39] {Threei} still looks tempting but I'd like to see one more sharp selloff
[14:39] {bruce} yep - a good try
[14:39] {Threei} like this one
[14:39] {Threei} one more leg down please
[14:41] {bruce} selling slowed - this the entry?
[14:41] {Threei} in
[14:41] {Threei} .85, stop .70
[14:42] {Threei} tough one eh?
[14:43] {bruce} stopped
[14:43] {bruce} yes -
[14:43] {bruce} still - I like these plays
[14:43] {Threei} yeah, doesn't look like it's ready
[14:43] {bruce} in and out quick
[14:44] {bruce} and nice potential on them
[14:44] {bruce} you're probably right about 1 more leg down
[14:44] {Threei} would prefer them working
[14:44] {Threei} but with these tight stops, way narroqwer than wins we took on it, I don't really mind
[14:45] {bruce} me too - but caqn live w 15c stops in these
[14:49] {Threei} situation reverses: NQ new low, RIMM not
[14:49] {bruce} aapl really selling off
[14:49] {bruce} another try rimm here vad?
[14:50] {Threei} looks like, just want NQ to show some guts
[14:51] {Threei} got .59, sorry, too fast
[14:51] {Threei} .69
[14:51] {Threei} typing deteriorates
[14:51] {Threei} stop is self-explanatory
[14:52] {Threei} come on RIMM, let's kill those shorts, we all hate them
[14:52] {Threei} excpet when we are them
[14:53] {Threei} if it bounces I want 99
[14:53] {Threei} at least
[14:53] {magoo} in .72
[14:54] * Threei kicks RIMM in the rear with heavy duty army boots
[14:55] {Threei} sheesh... NQ has no staying power whatsoever
[14:55] {Threei} out
[14:55] {bruce} stopped rimm
[14:55] {magoo} twice
[14:55] {bruce} damn
[14:55] {bruce} damn
[14:57] {Threei} initial instinct is te best to follow... short was still the way to go
[14:57] {bruce} looks to be good support near 98 vad
[14:57] {Threei} good to break you mean?
[14:58] {bruce} lol
[14:58] {Threei} :)
[14:58] {bruce} pessimist
[14:58] {bruce} rimm kicked back
[15:01] {Threei} what was that?
[15:02] {bruce} that was rimm kicking sand in our faces
[15:02] {Threei} did you see that march from .80 back into 98?
[15:04] {bruce} my charts show low of 98.03 vad
[15:04] {Threei} yes
[15:05] {Threei} I am talking about it dropping from first bounce to 98.80 all the way back into 98 and immediately back up
[15:05] {Threei} both faster than you can say mama
[15:06] {Threei} 15:02
[15:06] {bruce} got you - might be bad tick
[15:06] {Threei} nope
[15:06] {Threei} level 2 did whole dance
[15:06] {Threei} all bids and offers
[15:07] {bruce} well - thats rimm for ya
[15:07] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} looked like super-fast battle between bulls and bears
[15:07] {bruce} hard to keep 20 stops with that kind of dancing
[15:07] {Threei} that was quite unusual even for RIMM
[15:08] {bruce} not at all vad
[15:08] {bruce} I'm playing it remember
[15:08] {bruce} got to expect the weird wild and unusual
[15:15] {bruce} your thoughts on rimm long play if breaks 99 vad?
[15:15] {Threei} chart wise yes
[15:16] {Threei} its manner of tradin last hoyur - anything can happen
[15:16] {bruce} k- that sounds like hesitation to me
[15:16] {bruce} k
[15:16] {Threei} I will be equally unamazed to see it ramping up a buck or dropping all the way back
[15:17] {Threei} it's not hesitation, it's rather:
[15:17] {Threei} consider your willingness to handle the way it trades
[15:22] {Threei} TMA
[15:22] {Threei} FINANCES NEARLY $1.0 B OF PRIME HYBRID ARMS IN SECURITIZATION TRANSACTION
[15:26] {magoo} its avail short vad
[15:26] {Threei} scary
[15:27] {Threei} it's a news about the very heart of its issues
[15:27] {magoo} any play RIMM here?
[15:27] {Threei} core reason of gap down
[15:27] {cosmo} HYBRID ARMS ...sounds like an IED...
[15:33] {magoo} ifmkt continues up....rimm maybe long
[15:42] {Threei} geoarb, look dcc please
[15:52] {Threei} am I alone in crying over COIN?
[15:53] {bruce} pretty much vad
[15:53] {Threei} fine... be that way
[15:53] {bruce} I'm crying case we missed the 2 buck retrace in rimm
[15:54] {Threei} I am not
[15:54] {Threei} I couldn't read it
[15:54] {magoo} balling here
[15:54] {bruce} what are you balling mags?
[15:55] {bruce} do we do that stuff in this room vad - balling?
[15:55] {GEOARB} hehehe
[15:55] {Threei} all these stocks like RIMM, AAPl, NVDA etc
[15:56] {Threei} they are readabke one day, out of read another
[15:56] {Threei} sometimes changes even midday
[15:56] {Threei} you could see it last week with AAPL
[15:56] {Threei} just trying them to see if they work
[15:56] {Threei} if they do, fine
[15:56] {Threei} they become a subject of abuse
[15:57] {Threei} much like we abused AAPL last Thursday
[15:57] {Threei} they don't, we hunt for another
[15:57] {Threei} but COIN, sheesh... had a strongest feeling about it, talked for days
[15:58] {Threei} OK guys, thank you all
[15:58] {Threei} have a good evening
[15:58] {Threei} see you tomorrow
[15:59] {GEOARB} thanks vad
[15:59] {dptl} have a good evening all
[15:59] {magoo} ty all
