One of those "can do no wrong" days. A lot of good plays, funny and relaxed conversation in the room, and even some really really bad poetry. What's not to enjoy.

[10:05] {Threei} 2 days break
[10:06] {Threei} dumped ALTH for a small scalp
[10:06] {Threei} not worth babysitting
[10:10] {Threei} .60 is LLTC support for stop/invalidation
[10:11] {dino} last try pru l sm .20
[10:13] {amarg} hello vad,
[10:13] {Threei} good morning amarg, welcome to the room
[10:13] {Threei} missed couple good ones... gotta wake up earlier :)
[10:13] {amarg} can you give me any outlook on dxd, and how can I setup for some entry or exit points
[10:13] {amarg} ok
[10:14] {Threei} DXD as it stands now is a short at 72 if stays below 72.35
[10:15] {Threei} volatility is very high
[10:15] {Threei} why do you need to mess up with it as your starting point
[10:15] {Threei} 45 minutes into the day, we already had a lot of much safer plays
[10:16] {amarg} well, I have couple of long positions in it, and got hit hard couple of days ago, trying to decide to cut short losses or wait till day end today as it's friday and may be market falls and dxd goes up a little
[10:16] {Threei} let's tighten LLTC to under .70
[10:17] {Threei} I'd expect it to be above 23 by now, don't like such stall
[10:17] {amarg} but if you say short at 72, that is opposite of what I may be wishing, may be its time to take a loss, I don't know
[10:18] {Threei} I don't have comments on longer time frame amarg... market has been making too wide swings
[10:18] {Threei} this is pure daytrading time
[10:19] {amarg} for today's daytrade, do you have some outlook on market's direction?
[10:19] {Threei} with ranges for the day anywhere from 400 to 1000 points, no point in guessing
[10:19] {Threei} amar, that's not how we trade
[10:19] {Threei} why don't you observe for a while
[10:19] {Threei} market doesn't necessary have one direction for whole day
[10:20] {amarg} speaking of which, how to find out what you are trading or others, or should I just watch the conversation for clues
[10:20] {Threei} when I say short at 72, it doesn't mean that's the direction for the rest of the day
[10:20] {Threei} we post it right here
[10:21] {Threei} [09:39] {Threei} Long Setup: HIG .35 break half lot
[10:21] {Threei} [09:39] {Threei} stop under .20
[10:21] {Threei} when you see this kind of alert, that's your guidance
[10:22] {Geo} vsea vad?
[10:22] {Threei} thin...
[10:23] {Threei} look at the spread
[10:23] {Geo} y
[10:24] {Threei} UAUA
[10:24] {Threei} grrr
[10:24] {dptl} jblu?
[10:25] {Threei} .51... if stays above .45
[10:25] {amarg} so that I understand it, HIG is a good entry for long positon at 9.35, if it goes down to 9.20 get out, is there a upside get out indicator as well, I got out
[10:25] {Threei} was, amar
[10:25] {Threei} that was the call at the moment
[10:25] {Threei} we took our profits long ago
[10:25] {Threei} and there was a call to take profit
[10:26] {amarg} ok
[10:26] {Threei} problems with NYSE, be careful
[10:26] {Threei} 10:25:55 ADMIN7 --} (All): NYSE having streetwide issues!!!
[10:26] {dptl} stopped lltc
[10:26] {Threei} yup
[10:27] {dptl} l jblu .51
[10:30] {Threei} for a scalp type I you have 1:1
[10:30] {Threei} and over
[10:30] {Geo} nice dp
[10:33] {Threei} HIG is getting lucrative
[10:33] {Threei} yesterday's low 8.23
[10:33] {dptl} ty
[10:33] {magoo} u short HIG?
[10:33] {Threei} no
[10:34] {Threei} looking for long entry, but want it lower
[10:38] {dino} wanted 8.20 yesterdays low
[10:39] {Threei} fairly uncertain point
[10:39] {Threei} staying on a sideline for now
[10:41] {Threei} the only play I see at the moment is UAUA long on 15 break... would like one more pullback before triggering
[10:41] {Threei} and staying above .80
[10:41] {Threei} half lot, a bit too volatile
[10:42] {dino} met s .20
[10:42] {Threei} if triggers from here, stop is .85
[10:44] {Threei} Long Setup: QQQQ .61 if stays above .50
[10:44] {ese} what was the reason for the HIG tang yesterday?
[10:45] {ese} thats "tank"
[10:45] {ese} 67mil shs...huge vlume

[11:19] {Chaeron} I'd go to the corner, but dino hasn't cleaned up todays profits and had the armored car come yet
[11:19] {Threei} fantastic job today guys
[11:19] {dptl} fisherman instinct...Vad lol
[11:19] {Threei} I feel my retirement is nearing
[11:19] {Threei} hehe
[11:19] {hawkfan4} q's over 33 looks rockin
[11:19] {Chaeron} yep... out too soon
[11:22] {dino} retirement? no 3i, not in my lifetime
[11:22] {Threei} one more break is coming QQQQ
[11:22] {Chaeron} do we take it?
[11:22] {Threei} for a scalp this time
[11:23] {Threei} if recent patterns hold, it's a pullback time
[11:23] {Threei} and pullbacks are severe these days
[11:23] {Chaeron} .60s?
[11:23] {Threei} at least
[11:24] {Threei} 40s is not out of question either
[11:24] {Chaeron} stalking .40
[11:24] {Chaeron} heh
[11:24] {Threei} see, the way I view it
[11:24] {Threei} from this point on, this day is not as much about money anymore
[11:24] {Threei} as it is about two things
[11:25] {Threei} first being preservation of profits,
[11:25] {Threei} we had amazingly good morning for a Fri of such volatile week
[11:25] {Threei} would be shame to give it back.
[11:25] {Threei} Second being,
[11:25] {Threei} adding a little here and there,
[11:25] {Threei} hunt and peck,
[11:25] {Threei} being very careful,
[11:26] {Threei} traking the safest bets
[11:26] {Threei} cutting losses as quickly as possible
[11:26] {Threei} and looking to grow profits a bit
[11:26] {Threei} still keeping preservation of money made earlier as first and foremost goal.
[11:27] {Threei} so, don't be too pushy
[11:27] {Threei} wait for those trades that prmise easy profits, even if small
[11:27] {Threei} and guarantee you tight stops
[11:28] {Threei} hawk, you out HIG yet?
[11:28] {hawkfan4} was just typing, out +23, waited too long
[11:28] {Threei} +.23 is +.23
[11:29] {hawkfan4} i'll take it
[11:29] {Threei} especially with your 10K lots
[11:29] {hawkfan4} lol :) not in this market
[11:29] {Threei} :)
[11:29] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE CALLS FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO AVOID USING FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR PAY PACKAGES AND INCREASED DIVIDENDS

06[11:33] * Geo talking to himself
[11:33] {Threei} LVS...
[11:34] {Threei} thing is likely to pull back into one of two supports,
[11:34] {Threei} 12.50 and 12,
[11:34] {Threei} and being on a conservative side, I'd prefer 12 to get interested
[11:37] {hawkfan4} stop to .84 on rest of q's
[11:38] {hawkfan4} out +.19
[11:39] {Threei} if Qs stay under .90, breakdown of .80 is possible short
[11:54] {Threei} LVS bounced perfectly off first resistance... did it in such meek fashion, I'
[11:54] {Threei} d never go for that bounce
[11:58] {dino} oh bother
[12:05] {dino} aiv l .02

[13:48] {Threei} you girls

[13:56] {lisa_jay} Lol.
[13:56] {Threei} whatever.. I already have two kids
[13:57] {dino} i see vad, like his cousin vlad the impaler, likes pain
[13:58] {magoo} and voirgins i blieve
[13:58] {Threei} cousin? we are siblings
[13:58] {dino} dracula bro's, interesting
[13:59] {Threei} why do you think I am in comay during daylight hours

[14:01] {Threei} you just make sure that arrow has no wooden head and wasn't anywhere near garlic
[14:01] {Threei} the rest we undead don't care about
[14:02] {magoo} tips made out of silver.....i believe thats a problem
[14:02] {Threei} for werewolves only
[14:02] {Threei} our pets, you know
[14:03] {lisa_jay} Sigh....UAUA cup and handle breakdown. I need to learn to trade the plan and not get scared.
[14:03] {Threei} what are you scared of lisa...
[14:04] {Threei} keep your stop, take valid entries
[14:04] {Threei} let them do their thing
[14:04] {Threei} it's either profit or stop
[14:04] {Threei} go with valid proven setups, odds are on your side
[14:04] {Threei} profits will be more frequent and bigger than losses
[14:04] {Threei} that's it there is to trading
[14:05] {lisa_jay} I am going to print this and stick it on my eyelids.
[14:05] {dino} do it
[14:05] {Threei} over last month, and trading gods know it was the most unusual and scary month in market's historyu, we had 2 (TWO) losing days
[14:05] {dino} if your stops are correct and your system works, you will be fine
[14:06] {Threei} if that is not a proof of a concept, I don't know what is
[14:06] {lisa_jay} My biggest mistake is not letting my valid stops be hit....Lost a lot money abandoning plan mid trade.
[14:07] {dino} stops keep you in the game lisa, don't move them ever.
[14:07] {dino} trading is not about being right, it's about trading right
[14:07] {Threei} lisa, have you gone already through psychology part of MPP?
[14:08] {lisa_jay} Working on it....
[14:08] {lisa_jay} Will get to it this weekend.
[14:08] {Threei} it has practical recipes
[14:08] {Threei} not just usual psychodrivel
[14:08] {Threei} but practical tricks to make your mind work as trading environment requires
[14:09] {Threei} you'll be a new gal on Monday
[14:10] {lisa_jay} Sounds interesting. Went through all the Videos. Learning a lot from your calls.
[14:12] {Threei} that was such a fun making them
[14:13] {Threei} very challenging but fun
[14:14] {Threei} the very idea of being first one ever doing that was quite inspiring
[14:14] {Threei} to the best of my knowledge, it's still the only course done in this fashion
[14:15] {lisa_jay} It is bringing a lot of structure to my wild trading....So thank you for making them.
[14:15] {Threei} :)
[14:15] {brian3579} vad what course are you guys talking about
[14:16] {Threei} video course
[14:16] {Threei} so many educational outfits and people claiming guru status... and no one ever thought of simply recording his trading and explaining real time what he does
[14:16] {Threei} what does it tell you?
[14:16] {brian3579} i find them very helpfull
[14:16] {Threei} next best thing to sitting next to me
[14:17] {magoo} vad, do u still offer the trading video course rated MA?
[14:17] {Threei} what's ma?
[14:17] {lisa_jay} UAUA breaking down nicely....would have given 2:1 with .5 break down. See before i would not know diddly about this setup or how to use it.
[14:17] {magoo} mature audiences, nudity, violence
[14:18] {Threei} I don't offer any other mags
[14:18] {magoo} lol
[14:18] {Threei} and please, don't forget coarse language
[14:18] {brian3579} lol
[14:18] {Threei} wouldn't even think of making one without it
[14:18] {dptl} lol you guys
[14:19] {Threei} funny how life intrudes in recording those videos
[14:19] {Threei} phone rings
[14:19] {Threei} I am pouring coffee or clicking Zippo, then realizing that all these sounds go into recording
[14:20] {lisa_jay} Zippo...will pay attention to that next time...and coffee, I thought that was Vodka.
[14:20] {Threei} lol
[14:21] {Threei} have a look at UAUA daily
[14:21] {Threei} C&H
[14:21] {Threei} 16 rim

[14:29] {dptl} thats too risky
[14:30] {dino} no respect
[14:30] {lisa_jay} Wow, that was risky.
[14:31] {lisa_jay} broke above and tanked
[14:31] {Threei} yup
[14:31] {Threei} not something I want to do today
[14:31] {Threei} that's why so many warnings

Oct 30 2008

Interesting day with quite a few of different trades. Quick ones on HIG and LVS, very slow and steady ARRS. We read well most of the day, then skipped traditional end of the day selloff, except couple quick bounce scalps. This pattern of selling at the end of session becomes all too familiar, the day when market fools too complacent traders and does the opposite is close.

Session Time: Thu Oct 30 00:00:00 2008

[09:18] {ese} onix....
[09:19] {Threei} ideally, I'd like to see little pullback, shallow enouigh to warrant good support, a few minutes of consolidation, then break
[09:19] {ese} hows life in the fast lane ....of reality trader that is?

[09:26] {Geo} are you saying he isnt good enuff in this life ese?
[09:26] {Threei} yes dino
[09:26] {Threei} one of scenarios is gap fill, then ramp up
[09:26] {Threei} another is just upl,ift without gap fill
[09:26] {Threei} waiting to see which one materializes
[09:27] {ese} not at all.....just an observation.....
[09:27] {Threei} NVDA topped out at .80 yesterday

[09:39] {Threei} lol
[09:39] {Geo} anyone who is still holding is my hero

[09:42] {Threei} [09:08] {Threei} Q3 ADVANCED GDP ANNUALIZED: -0.3% V -0.5%E; PERSONAL CONSUMPTION: -3.1% V -2.4%E
[09:42] {dino} v sm l dxd .80
[09:43] {Geo} ops already done
[09:43] {Threei} market decided not to fill the gap today
[09:44] {Threei} watch Qs for long near .80
[09:45] {dino} stopped dxd too soon
[09:45] {Threei} if missed it, new play if .95
[09:45] {Threei} stop under .80
[09:46] {dptl} got .87
[09:46] {Threei} not a scalp
[09:48] {Threei} Long Setup: BRCM .83 if stays above .70
[09:51] {Threei} not holding support
[09:51] {Geo} out
[09:52] {dino} big rinse dxd,
[09:53] {Threei} not very clear here
[09:53] {Threei} pullback is deeper than smooth runup suggests
[09:53] {dptl} was out 33 +.13 qqqq ty
[09:54] {dino} gj
[09:54] {Geo} nice dp
[09:54] {dptl} ty
[09:55] {Threei} watching if FITB holding 10.95
[09:55] {Threei} Long Setup: FITB 11.10 break if stays above 10.95
[09:56] {Threei} nope
[09:57] {cosmo} FDRY tests .50 soon
[09:57] {cosmo} i think
[10:01] {dino} gs
[10:02] {Threei} churning action
[10:02] {Threei} no direction for now, sitting on a sideline
[10:03] {peterg} hello team
[10:03] {Threei} LVSA
[10:03] {Threei} matybe a double bottom at 11
[10:03] {Threei} LVS, sorry
[10:03] {Threei} peter :)
[10:03] {dino} going to blow one way or other
[10:04] {Threei} confirmation is a bit too far from bottom, above 11.50
[10:07] {Threei} Qs, either pullback into .75 - .80 zone
[10:07] {Threei} or break of .90 if stays above .85
[10:09] {ese} long CIEN .96 pullback on break full lot
[10:10] {Threei} had bid at .75, no hit
[10:10] {Threei} did I really need to save that 1 cent??
[10:10] {Threei} cancelling
[10:10] {Geo} :)
[10:10] {Threei} anyone was smarter?
[10:11] {Geo} just watching.... not clear enuff
[10:11] {Geo} LVS break of .5 with NQ?
[10:11] {Threei} [10:07] {Threei} Qs, pullback into .75 - .80 zone {--- thing hit .76 and bounced to .90, how was it not good enough for me?
[10:11] {Geo} lol
[10:12] {Threei} no, I had to be a perfectionist and try for the low of the zone
[10:12] {Threei} if stays above .25 Geo
[10:12] {dino} could be lower high in the making
[10:12] {Threei} and slippage is a b*tch on this one
[10:13] {Threei} so far yes dino, Qs couldn'rt break .90 on a few tries
[10:13] {Threei} reinforces .91 as long trigger
[10:13] {ese} Stop to .85 CIEN
[10:13] {Threei} but this time only if holding above .80
[10:14] {Threei} don't try to get it at .75 this time if drops there
[10:14] {Threei} too many retests
[10:14] {Threei} .60 next support for bounce
[10:15] {Threei} volume is very questionable everywhere
[10:16] {Threei} hard to make anything out of it
[10:18] {dino} uthr sm s .90, stop .33
[10:18] {dino} jumpy one careful
[10:19] {ese} BAAAAAAA. stopped CIEN .85 -.11
[10:19] {Geo} hmmm going towards gap fill?
[10:19] {Threei} a bit too far from there....
[10:20] {Threei} although with all the volatility we have, anything's possib;e
[10:20] {ese} maybe geo....
[10:20] {Geo} seems like lower highs lower lows
[10:20] {dino} stopped
[10:21] {Threei} where is magoo?
[10:25] {dino} bow hunting
[10:25] {Threei} argh
[10:25] {Threei} does he have a spare bow if I bring vodka?
[10:26] {Threei} (and to bring vodka I just need to invide dp, he never leaves home without 3 bottles - just in case he gets thirsty)

[10:29] {laserdave1} and what he is thinking when he has that bow in his hand

[11:02] {Geo} selfless
[11:02] {Threei} just don't count on me sharing the profit
[11:02] {Geo} lol
[11:02] {Chaeron} what? you're not into redistribution??????
[11:02] {Threei} I am not a fan of wealth spreading {G}
[11:02] {Threei} lived under that for 35 years, thank you very much
[11:03] {Threei} out in full
[11:03] {Threei} .67
[11:03] {Chaeron} great one
[11:03] {Chaeron} next!
[11:03] {Geo} i thought you went to canada to spread the word
[11:03] {Threei} word?
[11:03] {Threei} what wqord?
[11:03] {peterg} we are all fans of wealth spreading here: we take it from others for ourselves
[11:03] {Threei} I don't know any words
[11:03] {Threei} I know some letters
[11:03] {Threei} and hit them randomly
[11:04] {Threei} sometimes they do fall in just right
[11:04] {Geo} heh
[11:05] {Threei} you know that if you put 1000 monkeys in front of typewriters, they will write War and Piece eventually providing time is unlimited, right?
[11:05] {Threei} peace too
[11:05] {peterg} and Shakespear too
[11:06] {Chaeron} and given unlimited time, Threei will type one entry with no flaws...
[11:06] {Geo} ooooh
[11:06] {Threei} hmmm
[11:06] {Geo} i bet you spell checked that line cher
[11:06] {Chaeron} lol
[11:06] {Threei} I think monkeys have better shot at war and Peace, chaeron...
[11:06] {Geo} lol
[11:07] {Chaeron} awwwwww, *I* have faith in ya, big guy!
[11:07] {Threei} now he calls me fat
[11:07] {Threei} day of insults

[11:08] {Geo} OIS
[11:12] {dino} sm l ddm .15
[11:18] {Threei} interesting trading today
[11:18] {Threei} period of drifting,
[11:18] {Threei} then suddenly readable pattern emerges
[11:19] {dino} stopped -.30
[11:19] {Threei} gotta take it, profit from it and go back on a sideline while market switches back to meaningless noize
[11:28] {Chaeron} .
[11:29] {hawkfan4} sh aapl sm .75, stop over 110
[11:32] {Geo} nice hawk
[11:32] {hawkfan4} whew
[11:32] {Geo} :)
[11:32] {Threei} beautiful
[11:34] {hawkfan4} thx, looking for under 109

[11:36] {dino} nice

[11:37] {Threei} oh, sorry
[11:37] {hawkfan4} 109.75 to 109.10
[11:37] {Threei} looking at wrong stock
[11:37] {Threei} never mind me
[11:37] {Threei} ever
[11:37] {hawkfan4} lol
[11:38] {Threei} looking at LVS...
[11:38] {Threei} this thing just won't give up
[11:38] {Threei} look how stubbornly it hangs in there
[11:39] {Threei} if it stays around these levels, it prepares big surprize once again
[11:40] {Threei} it's abit fuzzy because of volatilyt,
[11:40] {Threei} trades in zones rather than in exact levels,
[11:40] {Threei} but overall, rough idea:
[11:40] {Threei} 11.80 break if stays above 11.50
[11:41] {Threei} and if market decides to resume this relentless upward march which we love so much
[11:50] {_nicklam66} r we taking lunch
[11:51] {Threei} no, just waiting for something readable
[11:52] {dino} waiting to see what happens on gap fill
[11:53] {dino} filled
[11:54] {Threei} still in AAPL short hawk?
[11:55] {hawkfan4} yes, stop to .05 now
[11:55] {Geo} beauty
[11:55] {dino} now if pattern holds, up we go
[11:58] {hawkfan4} out +.70 rest, had a buck though. bad exits the last few days, too greedy

[11:59] {Geo} HIG classic DBI
[12:01] {Threei} Long Setup: QQQQ .18
[12:01] {Threei} stop under .10

[12:06] {dino} pattern holds
[12:06] {peterg} lousy exit & entry, still got .06 thks vd
[12:07] {lisa_jay} Thanks Vad, took .10 on q's and .19 on CVS (based on your Q's call).
[12:07] {Threei} LVS you mean?
[12:07] {Threei} good to see lisa... getting patterns down
[12:07] {lisa_jay} No, CVS - had a spike earlier, and pullback.
[12:08] {Threei} yup, I see now
[12:08] {lisa_jay} Yes, a lot of patterns are getting clearer, watchign your videos every night.
[12:08] {_nicklam66} r the videos available for trial members
[12:08] {Threei} that's one sentence I will have to edit out I think
[12:08] {Geo} lol
[12:08] {Geo} i just shivered
[12:08] {dino} oh no, i thought those videos were destroyed
[12:08] {Threei} lol
[12:09] {Threei} nicklam, lisa means scalping course videos
[12:09] {Threei} we have a few samples on a website
[12:09] {Threei} let me get url
[12:09] {_nicklam66} k
[12:09] {lisa_jay} I saw the one with you in it Dino...very....ahem!
[12:09] {dino} lol
[12:09] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/video/
[12:09] {Threei} scroll down to sample links
[12:10] {_nicklam66} yea i c now . thanks
[12:10] {Threei} Attention: QQQQ stop to .19 for the balance
[12:10] {Threei} it's OK dino, everyone knows we were young and needed money
[12:11] {Threei} Qs held by fingertips
[12:11] {Threei} no more
[12:11] {dino} times were tough
[12:12] {dptl} out qqqq
[12:12] {Threei} but fun was had
[12:14] {Threei} overtightened stop a bit
[12:14] {Threei} too careful
[12:15] {dino} hig
[12:19] {hawkfan4} q's .29, stop .19
[12:20] {Threei} consolidates for further recovery so far
[12:20] {dino} hig sm l .60, risky
[12:27] {hawkfan4} out q's even, don't like the action
[12:28] {hawkfan4} besides i'm mesmerized by Vad's sultry voice on this video, hard to concentrate
[12:28] {Threei} lol
[12:31] {Threei} look at APOL chart
[12:32] {Threei} drawing by the pen tied to a tail of a drunken mule
[12:32] {hawkfan4} back in .35, stop .24
[12:33] {Threei} Long Setup: ARRS .32
[12:33] {Threei} two days break
[12:33] {Threei} for scalpers stop .24
[12:33] {Threei} for daytraders .19
[12:34] {dino} hig stopped, hmmmm tough day so far
[12:36] {dptl} long arrs .33
[12:37] {Threei} and for swing traders, under 6
[12:37] {Threei} scalpers are scalpers, they know where to exit
[12:38] {Threei} day traders, look to partial closer to .50
[12:38] {dino} lmdia
[12:38] {Threei} swing traders, aim for closer to 7
[12:42] {Threei} most probable pattern from here:
[12:42] {Threei} slow chrun,
[12:42] {Threei} boring pullbacks,
[12:42] {Threei} spikes to recent resistance levels with breaks,
[12:42] {Threei} new churn,
[12:42] {Geo} ICE
[12:42] {Threei} then strong accelerating run up
[12:45] {hawkfan4} so the real trick will be to stay awake for the run up. this is a snoozer
[12:49] {hawkfan4} ok dino, trying a dino-trade. short ice .25, stop hod
[12:49] {hawkfan4} tiny
[12:50] {dino} lol
[12:51] {Threei} it is a snoozing day so far,
[12:51] {dino} 79.25?
[12:51] {Threei} except a few fast trades earlier
[12:51] {Geo} chaeron out?
[12:51] {Threei} which makes me think, down is less likely
[12:51] {Threei} as in "never short a boring market"
[12:52] {hawkfan4} out ice +1.02
[12:52] {dino} gj
[12:52] {peterg} wtg
[12:52] {hawkfan4} thx :)
[12:53] {Threei} lol, in ICE terms it's almost like scalping the noize
[12:53] {Threei} good one hawk
[12:53] {dino} if dji falls, i'll try it
[12:54] {lisa_jay} Nice one Hawk.
[12:54] {hawkfan4} thx, working on my exits now. a buck's a buck
[13:00] {Threei} uptrend is broken a bit
[13:01] {dino} sm s ice .75

[13:02] {Threei} - indirect bidders take 23.8% of competitive bids
[13:02] {Threei} - notes draw 2.825% with 5.01% at the high
[13:07] {Threei} yawn
[13:07] {Threei} for a change, we are having boring day
[13:07] {Threei} if you missed boring days, enjoy while it lasts
[13:07] {dino} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[13:09] {Threei} ARRS makes these chewing noizes
[13:09] {Threei} new resistance broken, Qs
[13:10] {dino} ice stopped. i pretty much suck today
[13:11] {Threei} pattern is holding as described above
[13:11] {dino} qld l .30
[13:11] {Threei} either buy pullbacks for scalps on spikes into and above the resistance,
[13:11] {Threei} or buy and hold for big run later in the day
[13:13] {Geo} arrs is a dog
[13:13] {Geo} sorry
[13:13] {Geo} arrs is a sloth
[13:15] {dino} out qld .45. +.15
[13:15] {Geo} man HIG has no sense of direction :)
[13:15] {Geo} out ICE .40 small shares
[13:16] {dptl} shoul we moove stop to under .30 arrs??
[13:16] {Threei} personal deision
[13:16] {dptl} ok..ty
[13:16] {Geo} doesnt seem to have momentum
[13:16] {Threei} action allows for both, moving it and keeping it at original place
[13:18] {dptl} klac at .85? may be
06[13:18] * Threei weighs a few trouts, making plans with which one to slap Geo when ARRS hits all targets
[13:18] {Geo} yeah but i pnched out and ICE paid years ago
06[13:19] * Geo puts the trouts on ice
[13:19] {Threei} I will accept that argument when salesman in the store asks me how fast I made money I intend to pay for merchandise
[13:19] {Threei} and accepts fast money and rejects slow
[13:19] {Geo} hehehehe
[13:20] {Geo} 300 shares of ice made more money
[13:20] {Geo} i know i know
[13:20] {Threei} more than what?
[13:21] {Geo} arrs
[13:21] {Threei} ummmm
[13:21] {Threei} oranges vs apples?
[13:21] {Geo} [10:20] {Geo} i know i know
[13:21] {Threei} if you want to compare in a comparable basis, shouldn't ytou define how many shares of ARRS?
[13:21] {Geo} anyway 1.5 daily so thanks vad....
[13:21] {dino} lmdia l .50
[13:21] {Geo} :) ill take trout
[13:21] {Threei} oh, that's still ahead
[13:22] {Threei} for now let's talk math
[13:22] {Threei} how big a stop with 300 shares ICE?
06[13:22] * Geo hides
[13:22] {dino} .50
[13:22] {Threei} come out and learn, you wuss :)
[13:22] {Geo} 50
[13:23] {Threei} so, $150
[13:23] {dino} yes
[13:23] {Threei} let's compute ARRS
[13:23] {Threei} 7 cents stop,
[13:23] {Threei} how many shares will give you same stop loss size?
[13:23] {Geo} 70
[13:23] {Geo} 2k
[13:24] {Threei} so, how ICE makes MORE money?
[13:24] {Geo} hehehe ARRS is a dog
[13:24] {Threei} FASTER - yes
[13:24] {Threei} MORE - can't see it
06[13:25] * Geo agrees crestfallenly

[14:23] {dino} out pru .00, +1.00
[14:23] {Threei} .80 break should launch QQQQ
[14:24] {Chaeron} scalping it?
[14:25] {Threei} next spike should take it into .95 area, then most likely pullback
[14:26] {Threei} hard to tell chaeron
[14:26] {Threei} we went through churning period I talked about,
[14:27] {Threei} coming into run pweriod
[14:27] {dino} ci l .80

[14:29] {Threei} ty
[14:29] {Threei} happy with my today's read on the market
[14:30] {Threei} but it doesn't take much to make me happy... I am generally happy person
[14:30] {Threei} unless I feel grumpy of a particular day
[14:30] {Threei} which consitutes about 4 days out of 5
[14:33] {lisa_jay} Sounds like my trading pattern.
[14:34] {Threei} lisa... if you follow calls, there is no way you wouldn't be in the money
[14:34] {lisa_jay} Should add that this was before I joined the room :-)
[14:34] {Threei} OK... that makes me happy... again
[14:35] {Threei} lol
[14:35] {Threei} see? I aam joking, laughing at my own jokes and enjoy being alone who laughs at them
[14:35] {Threei} isn't it ultimate definition of happiness?

[14:37] {Threei} with stop under 11.90
[14:38] {Threei} Qs follow the path... pullback, jump back to high and breaking it
[14:39] {Threei} this pullback should bottom out around .85
[14:39] {Threei} and go above 33
[14:39] {Threei} if loses .80 again, not sure if patter remains intact
06[14:42] * Threei kicks QQQQ in the rear

[10:25] {Threei} what a concept
[10:26] {Threei} you perform well - bonus
[10:26] {Threei} you perform badly - bonus
[10:26] {Geo} i guess thats the problem... they thought it was theirs
[10:26] {Threei} you never show up for work - bonus
[10:26] {dino} why call it bonus if you get it no matter what
[10:26] {dino} i don't get a bonus
[10:26] {Threei} as one canadian politician fanously said,

[11:26] {Threei} worth a try long
[11:26] {Threei} half lot, .20 break
[11:26] {Threei} too much buying to ignore

[11:27] {Threei} so let's keep it to half lot

[12:19] {dptl} lol....ty
[12:20] {Threei} market flatlined
[12:21] {Threei} 8.50 is kind of critical for LVS now
[12:21] {Threei} if holding above it, likely to spike into 9 and higher
[12:22] {Threei} not suggesting a trade, risk is enormous
[12:22] {Threei} rather watch it for educational purposes
[12:22] {Threei} or if hands are itching, smaaaal shares
[12:22] {dptl} klac again?
[12:23] {Threei} 21 break... but, only if you believe in NQ ramp up
[12:23] {dptl} yeah.....thats the problem....
[12:24] {Threei} lost .50, LVS, and didn't bounce right back... most likely done
[12:24] {Threei} NQ is trying
[12:25] {Threei} if KLAC chews through 21, stop would be under 20.90
[12:25] {Threei} so... why not
[12:25] {magoo} i rember yrs ago...take those small dollar stocks like LVS 5k sh and run 2 points
[12:25] {magoo} SIGH

[12:30] {Threei} REPORTEDLY MAJOR ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IN TALKS WITH CERBERUS - UNCONFIRMED REPORT
[12:30] {Threei} - The two companies have reportedly agreed that GM CEO Rick Wagoner would lead the merged entity. This seems to confirm earlier reports from 10/24 that Cerberus does not want to force management changes as part of any deal between GM and Chrysler. Additionally, the UAW has been approached during the negotiations.
[12:30] {Threei} - separately GM has declined any comment on reports that it was seeking help from Toyota.

[13:19] {Threei} **consensus expectation is for a 50bps cut to 1.00%, though a few analysts are predicting a lesser 25bps cut. Fed Funds Futures are currently fully pricing in 50bps, and predicting an almost 50% chance of a 75 bps cut. Even though another rate cut will likely have little effect on the real economy in the short term given the absence of lending, a rate cut seems to be a given today as another psychological boost for the market.
[13:19] {dino} taking break
[13:19] {dino} rate cut lets bank increase their spreads, print $

[13:27] {Threei} initial reaction maybe
[13:28] {magoo} is ben that stupid to go only 25?
[13:28] {Threei} then it can just as well be percieved as sign of underlying strength
[13:28] {Threei} guessing game, really
[13:28] {magoo} whats the plan?
[13:28] {Threei} don't have any
[13:29] {Threei} letting annoucement time and initial reaction go

[13:58] {Threei} intuition - knowledge based on internalized experience
[13:58] {dino} risk is your friend, embrace it, dance w/it, don't be afraid of it, understand it and control it
[13:59] {Geo} or feeling based on knowledge?
[13:59] {peterg} feeling, no?
[13:59] {peterg} all good

[14:25] {Threei} -99
[14:26] {Threei} -73

[14:48] {Threei} I was waiting for closer to 32 on Qs, and all it did was 32.24
[14:49] {Threei} watch where MS bottoms out
[14:49] {Threei} if shallow enough, 16 is next long trigger
[14:51] {Threei} bounce will be better with this depth of pullback
[14:51] {Threei} but need one more leg

[09:29] {Geo} then balout happenned so no go
[09:29] {dino} gap 8691 from thursday close
[09:31] {Threei} Long Setup: UAUA .30 if stays above .15
[09:34] {Threei} not sure about pullback entry on it, looks flaky
[09:35] {dino} svnt
[09:35] {ese} bstop appl sm 97.01
[09:37] {ese} nope....invalidated....
[09:38] {ese} back on....
[09:39] {ese} hmmmmmm hit .09 and i'm not filled
[09:39] {ese} no there we go .78
[09:40] {Threei} AMZ
[09:40] {Threei} AMZN
[09:40] {ese} nice!!!!!
[09:40] {Threei} pullback entry around 49.30 -.40
[09:41] {Threei} half lot, if gets there
[09:41] {Threei} no chance
[09:48] {ese} out aapl .59 - 19
[09:48] {ese} Ok....did not like that....that thing bounces around like a wounded duck
[09:49] {Threei} everything does so far
[09:49] {dino} dino pictures injured duck
[09:49] {ese} that was weird experience with 250 shs
[09:50] {dino} interesting times
[09:51] {ese} cheap exexperience for 50 bucks though don't think i could have handled more
[09:54] {ese} anyone here trade aapl regularly........how would you handle it
[09:54] {Threei} magoo does
[09:55] {ese} how do you handle it mags.......hold for the day or something ....and how many shs
[09:55] {Threei} essenrially by closing his eyes, hitting randomly buy or short, hitting opposite button beforfe he opens his eyes... then looking what came out of it
[09:55] {ese} ha ha,,
[09:59] {Threei} AMZN pullback entry near 50, small shares
[09:59] {Threei} stop under 49.90
[09:59] {dino} i think he's asleep es
[09:59] {Threei} target closer to 51
[10:00] {Threei} *SEPT NEW HOME SALES: 464K V 450KE
[10:01] {Threei} Long Setup: QQQQ .52
[10:01] {Threei} stop under .35
[10:02] {ese} no kidding...when you can buy a house for a$1.00.......on less than 1% mortgage
[10:02] {Threei} - Median sales price: $218,400 v $222K m/m (Down -9.1% y/y)
[10:02] {dino} mkl v sm l 7.5, risky, wide
[10:02] {Threei} QQQQ 1:1, half out
[10:02] {Threei} not a scalp for me
[10:03] {Threei} should take AMZN over .50 too
[10:03] {Threei} and launch its way to 51
[10:03] {Threei} out half QQQQ .72
[10:04] {Threei} out half AMXN .772
[10:05] {Threei} stop QQQQ balance .45
[10:05] {Threei} AMZN under .30
[10:07] {Threei} out AMZN balance
[10:08] {hawkfan4} nice vad
[10:08] {Threei} BEAV... didn't trust it on 10.85 break...
[10:09] {Threei} done with Qs balance
[10:10] {Threei} waiting for the next moment of clarity, things muddied up again
[10:10] {Geo} very nice call vad
[10:10] {Geo} how did you anticipate the NQ powerup?
[10:11] {hawkfan4} 8-ball
[10:11] {Geo} it was almost like you nailed it
[10:11] {Geo} really
[10:11] {Threei} C&H on 1 min
[10:11] {Onix} Thanks Vad for doing QQQQ for those of us who don't have NQ
[10:12] {Onix} on what?
[10:12] {Geo} i traded QQQQ too
[10:12] {Geo} i think he watches NQ
[10:12] {Threei} answering geo's question, onix
[10:12] {Onix} ty
[10:12] {dino} sm l ice .00
[10:12] {Geo} in fact on one mion chart i dont hthink there is much of diff in patterns
[10:12] {Threei} I guess the best way to handle it would be this guys, tell me if you agree
[10:12] {Threei} out of three, Qs, NQ and QID,
[10:13] {Threei} Qs is the most universal tool
[10:13] {Geo} yes
[10:13] {Threei} not everyone tardes e-minins, QID's volatility is not for everyone,
[10:13] {Threei} yet, it's easy to derive form Qs call according levels for any of those
[10:14] {Threei} so, I am caling Qs, and those who prefer NQ or QID match up their entries
[10:14] {Threei} sounds right?
[10:14] {Geo} sure
[10:14] {hawkfan4} youbet
[10:14] {Onix} ty
[10:14] {tomg} y
[10:14] {Threei} kewl
[10:14] {Geo} any tutorials on mathups? :)
[10:14] {Threei} just look at the charts
[10:14] {Threei} it's quite clear really
[10:14] {Threei} Qs C&H had .52 as trigger,
[10:14] {Geo} more in sense of equivalent numbers
[10:15] {Threei} NQ had coresponding level at 1200
[10:15] {Threei} see it?
[10:15] {Geo} yes
[10:16] {Threei} QID short price would be 83, to match those two
[10:17] {Threei} if I have time, I'll throw NQ in
[10:17] {Geo} cool
[10:20] {dino} ice stopped -.43
[10:21] {ese} were you long or short ice dino?
[10:22] {Threei} [10:12] {dino} sm l ice .00
[10:22] {ese} tks ....
[10:25] {dptl} .
[10:26] {dino} ..
[10:26] {Threei} and chaeron will be the one to swip it all?
[10:27] {Threei} sweep
[10:27] {Threei} BEAV seems to set on course of recent UAUA run
[10:28] {Threei} let's watch for pullbacks
[10:29] {Threei} 11.50 nearest support
[10:30] {Threei} market weakened, don't be in a rush to enter until support solidifies
[10:32] {Threei} half lot .20 if holding above 11
[10:34] {Threei} with any market help should take .35 and jump above .50
[10:34] {Threei} not much help so far
[10:40] {Threei} BRCM
[10:40] {Threei} pulling back into support
[10:40] {Threei} long off 16
[10:40] {Threei} .11 trigger
[10:42] {Threei} market can't find footing
[10:45] {Threei} OK, better now
[10:45] {Threei} need one more spike to reassure bulls

[12:39] {dino} true blood
[12:39] {lisa_jay} Looks like that rally is getting closer....
[12:40] {Threei} if we are to get rally today, it should start with Qs tagging and breaking .65
[12:41] {Threei} while staying above .50
[12:42] {Threei} some hesitation, then break of .76
[12:42] {Threei} and off to races
[12:42] {dino} if we get rally today we will go up
[12:42] {dino} :)
[12:42] {Threei} wow
[12:42] {Threei} that's quite a nugget of wisdom dino
[12:42] {lisa_jay} Deep thinking....:-)
[12:42] {Threei} you may beat me as master of stating the obvious
[12:43] {Threei} and I trained long and hard to get so pompous
[12:43] {dino} interviewing some pro football player te other day, he says if we score more points than opponent, we will win
[12:43] {Threei} rofl
[12:43] {dino} c'mon 8691
[12:43] {Threei} I heard one basketball guy saying "you can'ty win unless you go for the basket"
[12:44] {dino} lol
[12:44] {Threei} another one strongly disagreed with him saying:
[12:44] {Threei} I think defending your basket is just as important
[12:45] {Chaeron} sad thing is that these same ppl have the right to vote
[12:45] {Threei} lol
[12:45] {Threei} and make money exceeding our math abilities
[12:45] {dino} yes
[12:48] {lisa_jay} About the Q's Vad, were you looking at the Ascending Triangle? Thanks.
[12:49] {Threei} a few setups in there, all bullish
[12:49] {Threei} ascending triangle, somewhat distorted C&H, uptrending channel
[12:49] {lisa_jay} Yes, now i see them, thanks.
[12:50] {Threei} now need to break that .76-.80 area
[12:50] {Threei} or 1210 for NQ
[12:51] {Threei} if that happens, I suspect big one coming today
[12:51] {Threei} in DJI terms... 300 is not out of question
[12:51] {Threei} quite possibly more

06[14:27] * Geo blushes
[14:27] {Threei} not you personally dummy
[14:27] {Geo} it was a setup
[14:27] {Threei} of course :)
[14:27] {Geo} ok so i tried a dino on amzn
[14:27] {Geo} barely got out alive
[14:28] {Geo} to iexperienced for that
[14:29] {dino} lol
[14:30] {Threei} for a late day selloff this started too early
[14:30] {Threei} those usually hit on last 20-30 min
[14:31] {dino} well just about 400 pt range day again
[14:31] {Threei} yeah, anothere day in the office
[14:32] {lisa_jay} UAUA in the process of forming that handle.
[14:34] {dptl} cien short at .90?
[14:35] {Threei} if not going above 9 on this NQ upward spike
[14:36] {dptl} ok ty
[14:36] {dino} sm l uthr .00
[14:38] {Threei} UAUA forms resitance at .80 so far
[14:38] {Threei} for a stop placement
[14:39] {lisa_jay} Vad, how much should we take volume into account when deciding a trade. ex if u want to short and see bigger up vol bars.
[14:39] {Threei} on what?
[14:39] {lisa_jay} UAUA maybe.
[14:40] {Threei} insignificant difference
[14:40] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[14:41] {Geo} drat
[14:47] {Threei} stop iis still above .80
[14:47] {dptl} Vad,on cien you would keep stop over 9?
[14:47] {Geo} you have inventory ?
[14:47] {Threei} no Geo
[14:47] {Geo} k
[14:47] {Threei} for now dp... mayube .95 if you feel NQ reverses
[14:48] {dptl} ok
[14:48] {Threei} and for sure move it to .95 if it breaks below .87
[14:55] {Threei} what a yawn second half of the day
[14:56] {Threei} so far at least
[14:58] {lisa_jay} Vad, for UAUA, you mentioned stop above .80... How much below .80 would you recommend? Thanks.
[14:59] {lisa_jay} Sorry, above .80.
[14:59] {Threei} below?
[14:59] {Threei} oh
[14:59] {Threei} kind of feeling thing... sometimes they barely touch and immediately retreat,
[14:59] {Threei} in such case I'd hold the trade
[15:00] {Threei} but when they move away from a stop or trade firmly over it, time to get out
[15:00] {lisa_jay} Is that why you don't like to have hard stops if not away from computer.
[15:00] {Threei} one reason, yes
[15:01] {Threei} another is
[15:01] {Threei} absence of discretion size wise
[15:01] {Threei} meaning:
[15:01] {Threei} imagine 100K shares at the bid at your stop level,
[15:01] {Threei} first 100 shares go off, your stop is triggered.
[15:02] {Threei} If you watch it, you won't take stop on such print size
[15:02] {Threei} you'll wait to see if that 100K is getting hit
[15:05] {Threei} lol dp, could you possibly pick slower stock than CIEN?? :)
[15:06] {dptl} yeah..
[15:11] {Threei} that too early stgarted selloff maybe the change of pattern
[15:11] {Threei} not ready commit yet
[15:11] {Threei} but watching how it unfolds
[15:13] {Threei} Qs, any pullback starts looking as long
[15:13] {Threei} .50 support
[15:14] {laserdave1} magoo dcc please
[15:15] {Threei} anyone took it under .70?
[15:16] {Threei} wasn't much of pullback really
[15:16] {Geo} i was looking at te red candle
[15:16] {Geo} but though pullback wasnt deep enuff
[15:18] {Threei} in
[15:18] {Threei} stop under .50
[15:18] {Geo} in .65
[15:19] {dptl} .66
[15:22] {Onix} in Q's @ .62
[15:23] {Geo} hmmm
[15:23] {Geo} i think ONIX's size broke the pattern
[15:23] {Threei} oh well
[15:23] {dptl} stopped qqqq
[15:23] {Onix} lo out .49
[15:24] {Threei} CIEN works though
[15:24] {dptl} still in
[15:29] {Threei} strangely, still feels like ramp up into close
[15:29] {laserdave1} magoo dcc if u see this please
[15:30] {magoo} there dave
06[15:30] * Geo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[15:30] {Onix} I was watching KLAC and wanted to take it @ 20.01 !!
[15:30] {Geo} thats not dcc
[15:40] {Threei} what a battle
[15:44] {Threei} if .40 is holding, going to try .51 for one last scalp
[15:45] {dptl} half out cien .75
[15:45] {Threei} good one
[15:45] {Threei} .40 not holding
[15:49] {dino} gj
[15:50] {Threei} if we finish here, it's not bad
[15:51] {Threei} no more deep dive into close
[15:53] {Threei} some selling
[15:53] {Threei} not huge
[15:54] {Threei} a bit more than I would have liked for a solid rally footing
[15:54] {Threei} oh well... not time yet then
[15:55] {dptl} covered some more .62 cien
[15:55] {Threei} 5 min left dp
[15:55] {Threei} just a rfeminder in case you lost track of time
[15:55] {dptl} biding last300 at .53
06[15:57] * Threei slaps dptl around a bit with a large trout
[15:58] {dptl} all out
[15:58] {Threei} whew
[15:58] {Threei} wtg
[15:58] {Threei} OK, don't like this selling
[15:58] {dptl} ty.....
[15:58] {Threei} hoped for better support

Fri Oct 24 2008

We thank all the guests who attended our Open House. We navigated through the rough waters of these two days quite smoothly, finishing Thu in the money and Fri with no single losing trade. Also had a chance to provide educational commentaries to some of the trades, especially textbook QQQQ day trade and a few scalps on breaks and pullback entries. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us.



Session Time: Fri Oct 24 00:00:00 2008

[07:26] {Nemo} Guten Morgen
[07:27] {_coyote} Good Morning Nemo
[07:28] {Nemo} Markets may not open this morning, futures down so much
[07:29] {_coyote} What does that forebode?
[07:30] {Nemo} If there at limit down, there's only trading on equities bid above the down limit. It means 1987.
[07:30] {_coyote} Are the futures that close to limit down this morning?
[07:31] {Nemo} They're at limit down now
[07:32] {_coyote} Where do you get your futures quotes from?
[07:33] {Nemo} If they don't come off, today and likely monday will (use your favorite adjective). I have Fidelity. You can look at finviz.com or bloomberg
[07:33] {_coyote} Thanks Nemo
[07:45] {Threei} Good morning
[07:45] {Threei} wow
[07:45] {Threei} what the heck happened overnight?
[07:45] {Threei} both SP and NQ are limit down
[07:45] {_coyote} Good Morning Threei...looks bad
[07:46] {Nemo} DOW limit down also
[07:46] {Threei} any overnight news causing that or just because?
[07:46] {Nemo} Nothing specific.I'd say hop on the Short ETF wagons, but I'm not sure what will trade this morning.
[07:47] {Nemo} I'll grab the vodka
[07:47] {Threei} PIMCO'S EL-ERIAN: EMERGING MARKETS STARTED THE SELL-OFF, CARRY TRADES GOT HIT HARD, FORCED REDUCTIONS BEGAN YESTERDAY - CNBC INTERVIEW
[07:47] {Threei} - Heavy damage to the system is being worked through, the system needs to get rid of its "damaged parts."
[07:47] {Threei} - Insists however that credit pipes are starting to unclog
[07:47] {Nemo} Words are cheap. LIBOR up, bank hoarding, OPEC cut production
[07:48] {Nemo} This feels like 1987. Today and Monday-ouch
[07:48] {Nemo} Oh report on heightened Russian default risk
[07:49] {Threei} days when you are happy to be a day trader
[07:50] {_coyote} Yes indeed
[07:54] {Nemo} I wonder non-dividend paying stocks will be toast in the future
[07:54] {Threei} just how much do you hate to admit that once a few years even Cramer is right
[07:55] {_coyote} Who?
[07:55] {Nemo} Cramer was just on the bandwagon. Having said that, he picked good stocks. I'd see measurements of return from the day he mentioned them
[07:55] {Threei} TV guru... Jim Cramer
[07:55] {Nemo} Even he would say wait a week.
[07:55] {Threei} I mean his sell everything call
[07:56] {_coyote} Anyone hold anything overnight?
[07:56] {Nemo} Not to pat myself on the fin, but not comparing this to '74 or the depression was the mistake.
[07:56] {Threei} some SLW, coyote
[07:56] {Nemo} Nope. but I wish I had bought the short ETFs!!!
[07:57] {Threei} not looking encouraging
[07:57] {Nemo} Yeah, and that's bid down this morning
[07:57] {_coyote} Does that mean no free food free drinks and girls for the open house?
[07:57] {Threei} we had a lot yesterday
[07:58] {Threei} be back in 10
[08:11] {Threei} QID trades at 89
[08:11] {Threei} looks weird, with this gap down it should be much higher
[08:11] {Threei} trhings are broken
[08:12] {Nemo} Well, those hard limit downs are like banning short selling, which affected the short ETFs
[08:12] {Threei} yeah, distorts prices
[08:13] {Nemo} So, if I start drinking, will it un-distort things?
[08:13] {Threei} OPEC PRESIDENT KHELIL: NOT CONCERNED BY TODAY'S DROP IN OIL PRICES
[08:13] {Threei} of course he isn't
[08:14] {Threei} sorry Nemo, but we have a strict limitation on drinking here: none before 9:25 EST, no more than 300 g of vodka in one gulp, and not more often than one dose every 5 minutes
[08:14] {Nemo} Danish central bank raised rates
[08:14] {Threei} are they out of their collective mind?
[08:15] {Nemo} Yeah, I've had more than my fair share of those Russian tea glass doses
[08:15] {Threei} LIMIT REMINDERS FOR US EQUITIES FROM CME GROUP AND NYSE FOR THE Q4
[08:15] {Threei} http://www.nyse.com/press/circuit_breakers.html
[08:15] {Threei} http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/files/EquityIndexPriceLimitGuide.pdf{SPY
[08:16] {Threei} IEA: TODAY'S OUTPUT CUT WILL FURTHER DETERIORATE WORLD ECONOMIC SITUATION
[08:16] {Threei} OPEC: as if we care
[08:16] {Threei} (US) MARKIT: US INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT CDS INDEX WIDENS TO A RECORD LEVEL OF 243.75 BPS ON FALLING EQUITY FUTURES
[08:17] {Nemo} Well either 1) the world is ending-not 'till 2012. or, 2) This is the capitulation. Hopefully it doesn't crash the machine
[08:17] {Threei} 1 is questionable - why wait that long?
[08:17] {Threei} I say lert's have world end today and be done with it
[08:18] {Nemo} Yeah, but the mystics from the various traditions around the world say 2012
[08:18] {Threei} well, then we have almost 4 more years to enjoy
[08:19] {Threei} just gotta make sure you have a gun handy I guess
[08:19] {Nemo} What's scary, is there all in agreement. Not like those 7th day Adventists back in the 1800s or the Lubavitchers when Schneerson ie
[08:19] {Threei} 'cause a lot of others might have different ideas on how to anjoy it
[08:19] {Nemo} GUN(S) plural and ammo
[08:19] {Threei} are you ever optimist eh :)
[08:20] {Nemo} When I deem it the right course of action
[08:20] {Threei} I show oil 63.79
[08:20] {Threei} not sure this wuote is right
[08:21] {Nemo} Can't wait to hear your game plan for the day. Helluva time to hold an open house, huh?
[08:21] {Threei} lol
[08:21] {Nemo} I've got oil at 63
[08:21] {Threei} my timing in these things always sucked
[08:22] {Threei} RealityTrader creation itself - 2000
[08:22] {Threei} not 1998
[08:22] {Threei} not 2003
[08:22] {Nemo} Better to suck at this than at your trading, huh?
[08:22] {Threei} just before big crash :)
[08:22] {Threei} I guess
[08:22] {Threei} on the other hand...
[08:22] {Threei} we had absolutely fantastic trading weeks,
[08:23] {Threei} easy to see by reading our trading logs,
[08:23] {Threei} winning 9 days out of 10 on those two weeks of biggest swings
[08:23] {Nemo} Yeah, you've been cleaning up. Just hopefully (optimistically speaking) those piece of paper continue to be worth something
[08:23] {Threei} and firmly intend to keep the room as safe as possible today
[08:23] {Threei} well, that's all we have
[08:24] {Nemo} Bar the door then
[08:24] {magoo} morning
[08:24] {Threei} morning mags
[08:24] {magoo} certain;ly tough times to do an open house
[08:24] {Threei} hehe
[08:25] {Nemo} shoulda' read the discourse magoo. smack him with my cousin!!
[08:25] {Threei} DJI - 600
[08:25] {Threei} and we haven't even opened yet
[08:26] {Nemo} Here's hoping this is 1987 and not 1929
[08:26] {Threei} I would say never in my life have I seen anything like over last three weeks,
[08:26] {Threei} but then again, everyone is saying this
[08:26] {_coyote} Maybe should have stayed with the Indian slots
[08:26] {Threei} lol
[08:26] {Nemo} I was sitting in class during 1987, that was something
[08:27] {Threei} I still don't think it's going to be repeat of Great Depression
[08:28] {Threei} uh oh
[08:28] {Nemo} As you say about the markets, it doesn't matter what we think. The great (cough, cough) minds didn't see this coming
[08:28] {Threei} GM
[08:28] {Threei} COMPANY REITERATES THAT BANKRUPTCY 'NOT AN OPTION'
[08:28] {Nemo} Fed will supply mouse money to GM
[08:30] {Threei} Raven... you noticed sky is falling?
[08:30] {Nemo} Maybe I'll just run up my credit cards and file bankruptcy
[08:32] {Nemo} SKF pretty much pinned at 180, although 20% return overnight would have been nice
[08:33] {Raven} Just your once a century panic ... no problem
[08:33] {Threei} yup
[08:35] {Nemo} Vad, check Bill this mornin'?
[08:35] {magoo} man
[08:35] {Threei} not yet nemo
[08:36] {magoo} , so i understand we have to sit -n-see, but any working theories for toay?
[08:36] {Threei} well
[08:36] {magoo} it could crash at bell...bounce ...and crash
[08:36] {Threei} first, it's going to be a chaos
[08:36] {Threei} I intend to skip the very open,
[08:36] {magoo} it could spike at bell, hard pullbk, then up then close at lows
[08:36] {Threei} simply because volatility will be beyond risk tolerance
[08:36] {magoo} btw, whats gun for?
[08:37] {magoo} suice or self defense at worlds end?
[08:37] {magoo} suicide\
[08:37] {Nemo} self-defense
[08:37] {Threei} latter
[08:39] {magoo} i do not think anyone will want to hold over weekend thinking a black monday is set up here
[08:39] {magoo} odds in favor of closing at lows
[08:40] {magoo} so at 2pm..look to see selloff
[08:40] {Nemo} Not to step out on a limb, but the odds are probably 1:1 on that
[08:40] {magoo} explain please
[08:41] {Nemo} I'm agreeing with your view. 1:1 is even money odds
[08:43] {magoo} well, i not giving it even odds
[08:43] {Nemo} As a matter of fact I was just about to say that magoo
[08:43] {magoo} i say{and i do not know jacksh@t}, BUT, who in right mind would buy long into last hour?
[08:44] {Nemo} Who buys long period these days?
[08:45] {Threei} someone does
[08:46] {Nemo} Yeah, and you take their money :)
[08:46] {Threei} I mean... all these mutual and hedge funds liquidations,
[08:46] {Nemo} Wow, GDX and GLD both bid down
[08:46] {Threei} these insane amounts of shares do go in someone hands, right?
[08:47] {Nemo} Oh, I agree, just crazy. Although, as we see today, nobody is buying.
[08:47] {Threei} that's not exactly right
[08:47] {Threei} maybe nobody is buying actively
[08:47] {Threei} meaning bidding up and taking offers
[08:48] {Nemo} Well, would supply be well in excess of demand so far today?
[08:48] {Threei} but when bids are geting hit, someone did sit on those bids and absorbed selling, right?
[08:48] {Threei} and when supply side is so eager,
[08:48] {_Bruce} morning all
[08:48] {Threei} bidders are ever so willing to drop bids and get better prices
[08:48] {Threei} bruce :)
[08:48] {_Bruce} vadster
[08:49] {Threei} I mean, you are car hunting,
[08:49] {Threei} you see big inventory
[08:49] {Threei} and dealer eager to sell
[08:49] {Threei} pressing you to buy NOW
[08:49] {Threei} offering discounts
[08:49] {Threei} you will try to lowball your bid, right?
[08:50] {Nemo} Absolutely. Do you think volume will be the story today?
[08:51] {Threei} both volume and price
[08:53] {dino} gm all, seems i was a day early on end of days
[08:53] {dino} black friday in the making perhaps
[08:53] {Threei} dino :)
[08:53] {Threei} no, you were right, it's just that world end is a process
[08:54] {Threei} unfolds over certain period of time
[08:54] {lisa_jay} Good morning.
[08:54] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:55] {Threei} gold under 700?
[08:55] {Threei} jeez
[08:58] {_Bruce} dino
[09:00] {dino} :)
[09:01] {dino} chaos today, big swings both ways. end of day, who knows, gut says down -200ish. all just opinion, which are like asses, everybody has one
[09:01] {Threei} I agree with every word except my gut says nothing about closing number
[09:02] {Threei} on days like thgis anything is possible
[09:02] {Threei} literally
[09:02] {lisa_jay} How about we close up...
[09:02] {Nemo} And I have to leave early today
[09:03] {dino} ok lisa, about as good as my guess
[09:03] {dino} ahhh, nemo, we are like hotel california, you can check in, but never leave
[09:04] {Nemo} I remember when that came out
[09:04] {lisa_jay} My kid begs us not to play "when your hungry love with keep us alive"
[09:04] {lisa_jay} sorry love will keep us alive.
[09:04] {Nemo} Better than "Love will keep us together"
[09:05] {lisa_jay} :-)
[09:05] {Nemo} They got divorced
[09:07] {dino} lol
[09:11] {Geo} gm all

[09:22] {dptl} .
[09:22] {Threei} . to you too dp
[09:23] {dptl} :)
[09:23] {Threei} also, keep in mind that many trading platforms may be bogged down in this kind of trading
[09:23] {Nemo} Yeah, it's kinda' like being at the intersection of a really bad car accident
[09:23] {Threei} so you may get caught in frozen platform even when you are right on your entry
[09:24] {lisa_jay} Bloomberg guy says we will open limit down even double limit down...1 buyer and about 11000 sellers - of course i don't listen to news (J. Carter floor trader)
[09:24] {Threei} let's let the 10-15 minutes go,
[09:24] {Threei} see what's happening,
[09:24] {Threei} verify quotes accuracy,
[09:24] {Geo} j carter ?
[09:24] {Threei} when first trades start emerging, keep size down,
[09:24] {dino} lol, guy on cnbc saying perfect time to buy

[09:25] {Threei} ANYTHING can happen today
[09:25] {patience} like a shutdown of the markets by the fedf?

[09:29] {Threei} whether yo dive into trading or not, do observe to see how this kind of extremes influence p;eople and their trades
[09:29] {lisa_jay} Vad, since i only trade 100 shares i should probably sit this out.

[09:44] {ese} ...this pretty historic for our generation...
[09:46] {Nemo} Maybe 2001, but they didn't put the breakers in until after 1987. I was in grad school then. It was all we talked about
[09:47] {Threei} PREVIEW: SEPT EXISTING HOME SALES DUE OUT AT 10AMET

[09:53] {Threei} yeah, buying breaks so far feels like the craziest thing to do
[09:53] {Threei} thus it works, lol
[09:56] {Nemo} uyg continues to climb
[09:56] {Threei} everything does
[09:57] {Threei} lulls traders into complacency
[09:57] {Threei} and will drop hard just when everyonwe decides it's up only for the day
[09:57] {Nemo} ahhh and you accuse me of pessimism :)
[09:58] {lisa_jay} Parabolic rise....
[09:59] {ese} nice climb back for NVDA into green....
[09:59] {Nemo} note from bill cara on futures as a market indicator: I think holding on at this point is the wisest move. Futures markets are only reflecting the sell orders streaming into equity and commodity markets, which have stopped working as value discovery mechanisms.
[09:59] {Nemo} Somebody sent me an article by Jon Markman titled "Bundled up for a deep credit freeze" and asked me for my take. I found it interesting, but it's backward looking. I replied,
[09:59] {Nemo} "Markman saying 'The onslaught has begun' is a problem I have with t
[09:59] {Nemo} I have with this article. It's already late in the game and he has succumbed to an emotional crisis. My analysis is showing that on rallies, the retail accounts are selling and the institutional accounts are waiting for the sell-off, then buying. It's only a mater of time before traders see that the market is no longer functioning as a value discovery mechanism, and the selling stops." The buying will follow.
[10:00] {Threei} SEPT EXISTING HOME SALES: 5.18M V 4.95ME
[10:00] {Threei} wow
[10:00] {Threei} good numbers for a change
[10:00] {Nemo} After california data last week, not a surprise
[10:02] {Threei} ok market, time for pullback
[10:02] {ese} what was the california data Nem?
[10:02] {magoo} really need it
[10:02] {magoo} 90% of porno movies made in calif
[10:02] {magoo} data
[10:03] {ese} those are great stats!!!! mags
[10:03] {Nemo} don't remember exact numbers, but the transactions were up some ridiculous %
[10:03] {Threei} what do we buy on that?
[10:03] {Geo} 90% of em made within my 10 mile radius
[10:03] {Threei} uh oh... Geo is a center of action
[10:03] {Nemo} san fernando valley
[10:03] {magoo} see.mkt wont pullbk so as few on board as possible
06[10:04] * Geo is right there
[10:04] {dino} isn't hje always
[10:04] {dino} he
[10:04] {Threei} seems starting mags
[10:04] {Geo} hey SF valley is a clean wholesome place
[10:04] {Threei} QQQQ. want to see it near 29 at least to start contemplating entry
[10:05] {Threei} and UAUA near 12.50
[10:05] {magoo} half lot
[10:05] {dino} uyg sm l .00, stop .57
[10:05] {Threei} everything half lot, and don't jump in until you see pause and signs of strength returning
[10:05] {Threei} moves in both directions are likely to be exaggerated
[10:06] {Threei} much biger than one would normally expect
[10:06] {Threei} and in any case, rule for the day is better to miss the play than to get caught in sharp countermove
[10:06] {dino} pulp market
[10:07] {Threei} heroic inclinations of "I have to be in action" kind is exactly the stuff wiped out traders are made of
[10:07] {Threei} we are getting there, Qs
[10:08] {Threei} want one more leg down
[10:08] {Nemo} Vad "inaction" is also to be "in action" :)
[10:09] {Threei} philosphically speaking yes :)
[10:09] {Nemo} cogito ergo sum
[10:09] {Threei} did you see on Qs just now?
[10:09] {Threei} teleportation from .30 to .12
[10:09] {Threei} exactly what I mean by the move that traps you
[10:10] {Threei} need one more dump
[10:10] {Threei} not buying here
[10:10] {magoo} AAPL is the tell guys/gals
[10:10] {Nemo} I understood. thanks, vad. DUG building strength
[10:10] {Threei} come on Qs, dive under 29
[10:11] {Threei} shake out those who decided it's up only
[10:11] {Threei} then we will buy
[10:11] {dino} ice sm risky l .40
[10:12] {Threei} here we go
[10:12] {Threei} UAUA is getting there too
[10:12] {Threei} still don't see sharp red bar
[10:12] {Threei} on either
[10:13] {Threei} OK, first try Qs if not losing .90 anymore
[10:13] {Threei} 28.05 trigger
[10:13] {Threei} half lot!
[10:14] {dino} ice stopped -.41
[10:14] {Threei} 29.05 sorry
[10:14] {dino} rinsed
[10:15] {Threei} Q 1 cent shy of 1:1 on a spike
[10:15] {Threei} OK, geting there
[10:15] {Threei} 1:1 Qs, half out, scalpers be happy
[10:15] {dino} ice off of .25 fast
[10:16] {Threei} stop to .99
[10:16] {Threei} for the balance
[10:16] {Threei} UAUA is right near 12.50 support
[10:16] {Threei} this one is even more volatile
[10:16] {Threei} not sure it's worth the risk here
[10:17] {Threei} if you like it, be ready for a stop under .50 and poissible multile entries
[10:17] {Threei} if went for it, try to offer around .90
[10:18] {Threei} there
[10:18] {Threei} take profit and don't get stuick in it
[10:18] {Threei} playing it as safe as possible today
[10:19] {magoo} take profit...go change diaper..get cup-o-joe
[10:19] {Threei} eqzaktly
[10:19] {Nemo} use vaseline
[10:19] {dino} gun to the head...up or down
[10:19] {magoo} do NOT make me slap u again nemo lol

[10:20] {Threei} try to offer it between .40 and .50
[10:20] {Nemo} magoo, you'll knock my scales off
[10:20] {dino} alright jackie gleason
[10:24] {Threei} everyone's OK on Qs?
[10:24] {Geo} stopped second
[10:24] {Threei} yup
[10:24] {Threei} scapers win
[10:24] {hawkfan4} yep, took scalp thx
[10:24] {Geo} i took 2/3 on 1:1 as wasnt sure
[10:25] {Threei} can't blame you
[10:26] {Geo} wanted to keep a little to learn to hold
[10:26] {Threei} instead learned how to take a tightened stop on partial
[10:26] {Threei} lesson too :)
[10:26] {Geo} good one
[10:26] {Threei} this is just a paret of trade management
[10:26] {Geo} yup
[10:27] {Threei} routine procedure as stock moves in your favor
[10:27] {lisa_jay} Looks like going to test lows.
[10:27] {Threei} 1;1, sell part (unless scalp intended),
[10:27] {Threei} trail stop to undeer breakeven
[10:27] {Geo} 17 cents TY vad
[10:27] {Threei} 1:2, sell 1/4 more, trail stop to under 1:1
[10:27] {Threei} then either take full out on the next spike
[10:28] {Threei} or stop taking profits and simply trail your stop under each next taken resistance
[10:28] {Threei} letting stock stop you out when it reverses
[10:28] {_Bruce} klac short on 18 break
[10:29] {Threei} if stays below .15 - .20 zone, bruce?
[10:29] {Geo} chrsler cutting 25% of white collars
[10:29] {_Bruce} agreed vad
[10:30] {lisa_jay} Thanks Vad, now i don't have to read the book.
[10:30] {Geo} lol
[10:30] {magoo} vad..may i add
[10:31] {magoo} i truly believe u must layout offers at exit points...be first out
[10:31] {Threei} of course lisa... I didn't :)
[10:31] {Threei} especially on volatile stocks, yes, mags
[10:31] {magoo} i just laid goog out 339.21
[10:31] {Threei} but be ready to hit the bid if stock comes into your selling point and stalls
[10:31] {Nemo} don't forget baidu
[10:31] {magoo} neversaw it but got fill and it fell 2 points
[10:32] {Threei} nothing's worse as missing your sale by couple cents pnly to see stock reversing and your profit evaporating
[10:32] {Geo} yes there is
[10:32] {Geo} ho about going neg and me hoping and praying
[10:32] {Geo} used to do that a lot
[10:33] {Geo} now hard stops like dino saves me the angst
[10:34] {Threei} first emotions calmed down
[10:34] {magoo} he still dishes out alot ALOT of angdst
[10:34] {Threei} market narrowed a bit
[10:34] {dino} out ice .45, +1.20
06[10:34] * Geo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:35] {Threei} dino the money machine
[10:35] {Geo} me dishes out a trout
[10:35] {Threei} wtg'
[10:35] {Geo} ncie dino
[10:35] {dino} ty
[10:35] {magoo} wtg on trout?
[10:35] {dino} went another .80
[10:35] {Geo} ice has become dino's atm
[10:35] {Threei} my working assumption here is beginning of a slow climb
[10:35] {dino} its the vodka theory
[10:36] {dino} use ice w/vodka and it taste better
[10:36] {magoo} well alrighty then.....im in thaty theorty
[10:36] {Threei} NQ holding above 1180 and breaking 1190 would be a first confirmation
[10:36] {Threei} in Q terms, holding above 29 and breaking 29.30
[10:37] {Threei} pullback entries are still better than breaks
[10:37] {Threei} so, the way to play it safe would be:
[10:37] {Threei} get Qs as close to 29 as possible,
[10:37] {Threei} keep tight stop,
[10:37] {Threei} aim to sell half closer to 29.30
[10:37] {Threei} hold the balance for break and climb
[10:37] {Threei} may take a few tries
[10:38] {Threei} so don't do it unless you are willing to take a few tight stops in the process
[10:39] {_Bruce} s klac 18.13 w 9c stop
[10:40] {Threei} in .07
[10:40] {Threei} stop about 28.95
[10:41] {dino} mkl holding
[10:41] {_Bruce} stopped klac
06[10:42] * Threei kicks the market in the rear with heavy duty steel-toed army boots
[10:42] {Threei} oops... that wasn't rear?
[10:44] {Threei} 1:1 here for scalpers
[10:44] {Threei} keeping my plan though
[10:44] {Threei} offering half .27
[10:45] {Threei} hit
[10:45] {Threei} let's break that .30 now, shall we?
[10:46] {Threei} anyone joined the play?
[10:46] {Geo} me
[10:46] {hawkfan4} i'm in too
[10:46] {Geo} half out at .2 got 15 cents
[10:46] {Threei} okay
[10:46] {Threei} let's see if second part pans out
[10:46] {lisa_jay} Sorry, i am just with popcorn today.
[10:47] {Threei} chicken wings?
[10:47] {Threei} anyone of guests went for it?
[10:47] {Threei} laid out plan well in advance
[10:48] {Threei} come on guys, maake your stay with us worthwhile
[10:48] {Chaeron} Good morning all
[10:48] {Threei} chaeron :)
[10:49] {magoo} chaerbroil:)
[10:49] {Geo} hey chaeron
[10:49] {dino} slap them all 3i, slap them all
[10:49] {Threei} hmmm
[10:49] {Geo} the Q is
[10:49] {Chaeron} hey mags, Geo
[10:49] {Geo} are they even here?
[10:50] {Threei} my idea of hospitality must be outdated, lol
[10:50] {Threei} grow a set market, will ya?
[10:50] {Threei} time to break
[10:50] {Nemo} Vad: Q climbing a bit, but volume dropping...not good? Seems other stocks doing same.
[10:51] {Threei} broke
[10:51] {_coyote} In 29.25 Q's
[10:51] {Threei} you know, volume at this point is not very indicative for a simple reason:
[10:51] {Threei} opening was panicky one
[10:51] {Threei} adding a lot of unusual volume
[10:51] {Nemo} thanks
[10:52] {Threei} so hard to find the base for comparison
[10:52] {Threei} ok guys, make up your mind here
[10:52] {Threei} full out or 1/4
[10:52] {_coyote} out 29.38 in full small lot. Thank you sir.
[10:52] {Geo} all out at 40
[10:52] {Geo} 35 cents TY
[10:52] {Threei} good job coyote
[10:53] {Threei} for 12 cents initial stop we have solid 35 or so gain
[10:53] {Threei} 1:3
[10:53] {Threei} my original idea of this trade was slow steady climb
[10:53] {Threei} and so far it's getting confirmed
[10:53] {Threei} so, to me, it's 1/4 out
[10:53] {Threei} and trailing last portion
[10:54] {Threei} letting masrket stop me out on reversal
[10:54] {Geo} you trail manuall right?
[10:54] {Threei} who tells me where to put a stop for it now?
[10:54] {Threei} yes
[10:54] {Geo} 1:1?
[10:54] {lisa_jay} Under 20
[10:54] {Threei} lisa gets the prize
[10:55] {Threei} that's where last pullback bottomed out
[10:55] {Threei} new suppoort level
[10:55] {Threei} if gets broken, uptrend is violated
[10:55] {dino} ot: coyote, you're not joe by any chance?
[10:55] {Threei} 10:50 10:51 bars formed that support on 1 min
[10:56] {Chaeron} lol
[10:56] {Geo} sigh
[10:56] {Geo} vad wins
[10:56] {_coyote} no coyote bob
[10:56] {magoo} c'mon mkt go go goooooooooooo
[10:56] {dino} ok, buddy of mine goes by that name
[10:57] {hawkfan4} i was thinking Wiley
[10:57] {_coyote} would be a friend of mine also dino
[10:57] {Geo} i was thinking ugly
[10:57] {hawkfan4} lol
[10:57] {_coyote} that too geo
[10:58] {Nemo} That's Wile E.
[10:58] {Geo} nice memories of vegas ummmmmm
[10:58] {hawkfan4} ah, thx Nemo :)
[10:58] {_coyote} indian slots for me
[10:59] {Nemo} Yeah, he was like Clouseau's boss to the roadrunner
[10:59] {dino} indeed he would, crazy one
[11:00] {_coyote} coyote joe's can be dino
[11:00] {lisa_jay} Vad, would you move stops to under 28 now?
[11:00] {Threei} track the logic further as we progress: latest pullback bottomed out at .30 -.32
[11:00] {Threei} so new breakout, and yes, stop is trailed under that level
[11:00] {Threei} .50 taken, stop is trailed
[11:01] {Threei} at any of these breaks, you face a decision, to take profit or continue trailing
[11:01] {Geo} classic vad
[11:01] {Threei} pretty much personal preference,
[11:01] {lisa_jay} If it was a breakout pull back trade, would you have bought at .31?
[11:01] {Threei} I'd say good compromise is this:
[11:01] {magoo} gonna get slapped...but feels green
[11:01] {Threei} continue trailing if it takes resistance and climbs slowly again,
[11:02] {Threei} and take it if breakout leades to insanely sharp spike
[11:02] {Threei} yes lisa
[11:02] {Threei} not going to get slapped magoo
[11:03] {Threei} not that you don't deserve it... just that you enjoy it and I decided to withold it
[11:03] {dino} fcx sm l .80, clf sm l .30
[11:06] {Threei} need break of .60 now to trail stop further
[11:06] {Threei} last pullback bottomed at just under .40
[11:07] {Threei} so that's where stop is going to be moved to if/when .60 is broken
[11:08] {Threei} one more way to trail it: if Qs go over .50 from here, .40 can be considered mini - double bottom
[11:08] {Threei} and stop can be moved without waiting for .60 to be broken
[11:08] {Threei} for now it's still under .30
[11:09] {Threei} any questions guys?
[11:09] {Nemo} sfsg
[11:09] {Threei} this trade is so textbook, make sure you understand all the elements of it
[11:09] {Geo} classic
[11:10] {Nemo} like a fine wine
[11:10] {Threei} my scanner appears to be broken today again... don't see any new 52 week high alerts
[11:12] {Nemo} yeah, just ran that filter "returns no requests" lol
[11:12] {Threei} :)
[11:12] {Threei} been this way for three weeks already
[11:12] {Threei} why don't programmers fix it.. I already complained
[11:12] {Nemo} just ra 52 week lows-crashed my computer
[11:12] {Threei} OK Qs
[11:13] {Threei} holding or stopping me out?
[11:13] {Threei} stopping

[11:15] {Threei} things lost clarity here a bit
[11:16] {Threei} gotta wait out until something shapes up again
[11:17] {Threei} I find it hard to believe emotions won;'t flare up again sometime today
[11:17] {Threei} they simply must
[11:17] {Threei} IMF: LIQUIDITY ACTION PLANS ARE ORIGINATING FROM SOME LATIN AMERICAN DIRECTORS ON THE BOARD
[11:17] {Threei} - plan still under discussion, yet to be finalized
06[11:17] * _Bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[11:17] {Nemo} Friday towards end of day should be a fire drill. Then again, that means it won't. Was I vacillating enough on tht
[11:18] {_Bruce} sorry mags - emotional outburst there
[11:18] {Threei} we had similar situation two weeks ago I think nemo
[11:18] {Threei} or three
[11:18] {magoo} :)
[11:18] {Threei} whole week it was hard selling closer to eodn,
[11:18] {Nemo} you mean every friday
[11:18] {Threei} eod
[11:18] {Nemo} or is that DOA?
[11:18] {Threei} then on Fri I said won't happen today,
[11:18] {Threei} became too easy for shorts,
[11:19] {Threei} and the notion that no one wants to be long into weekend was too obvious
[11:19] {Threei} what do you know
[11:19] {Nemo} UYG gently rolling over
[11:19] {Threei} rally into end of day
06[11:19] * dino slaps _Bruce around a bit with a large trout
[11:19] {Threei} killing those who decided they figured it out once and for all
[11:19] {dino} burn 'em all ike

[12:25] {Threei} not that I ignore others, but day high ones are more effective
[12:26] {Threei} second, in this case, it was .75 break for JBE to trigger,
[12:26] {Threei} but the low of the consolidation range was .68
[12:26] {Threei} and it got broke
[12:26] {Threei} brken
[12:26] {Threei} broken
[12:27] {Threei} there, got it on a third try
[12:27] {Threei} and finally, it's just too narrow

[13:22] {Threei} I am not a fun of arbitrary entries
[13:22] {peterg} or a fan
[13:22] {Threei} or that
[13:22] {peterg} they can be fun
[13:22] {Threei} no structure to setup, no clean indication where to place stop
[13:22] {peterg} but lead to..................
[13:22] {peterg} splat
[13:23] {_coyote} learning..learning thank you
[13:23] {dino} ice sm l wide risky .50
[13:23] {peterg} thats why I joined this club, cz I was going to self-destruct without some structure
[13:23] {_coyote} that is it in a nutshell peterg
[13:23] {peterg} yep!
[13:23] {Threei} now look at its further action:
[13:24] {Threei} it tagged .60 twice,
[13:24] {Threei} effectively for ming mini double top
[13:24] {Threei} little consolidation to define breakdown level
[13:24] {_coyote} OK i'm following you...
[13:24] {Threei} and break of that level will become a shiort trigger with clear stop level above .60
[13:25] {Threei} this is in a nutshell my approach - let the stock to form a readable structured setup
[13:25] {Threei} offering you clear trigger and clear stop
[13:26] {_coyote} would that mean sell around 12.53 trigger?
[13:26] {Threei} no clean nice consolidation so far
[13:26] {Threei} can't tell
[13:27] {_coyote} OK got it.. thanks Vad..lots to learn here.
[13:28] {lisa_jay} Coyote, I am new too. Just got Vads cds and books.
[13:29] {Threei} you remind me lisa... I need to read that too
[13:29] {lisa_jay} Looking forward to digging into them over the weekend...if kids let me.
[13:29] {_coyote} Great lisa..we can lear together..i have books/course also.
[13:29] {Threei} wasn't there a babysitter packed in the box??
[13:29] {lisa_jay} You can borrow mine...if you don't mind pink stains from markers on them.
[13:29] {Threei} you may have gotten incomplete package...
[13:29] {lisa_jay} Ran away once he saw my kids.
[13:30] {magoo} what books u talking about lisa?
[13:30] {Threei} .49 short Qs
[13:30] {_coyote} We learn together also
[13:30] {Threei} if stays below .65
[13:31] {Threei} just a scalp most likely
[13:31] {lisa_jay} Oh, scalping course, and Master Profit Plan.
[13:32] {Threei} stop to above .60
[13:32] {laserdave1} Hey guys i checked into UAUA
[13:32] {laserdave1} it is just hard to borrow today
[13:32] {Threei} OK, so just incorrect message code
[13:32] {laserdave1} it is not per sec
[13:33] {Threei} thought so, ty dave
[13:33] {laserdave1} yes hopefully we can shot it tomorrow
[13:33] {laserdave1} nprobs
[13:33] {_coyote} in q's at 29.50
[13:33] {Threei} careful with advise to shoot it dave
[13:33] {laserdave1} haha
[13:33] {Chaeron} short QQQQ @ 29.47 here
[13:34] {Threei} you can get in troubles
[13:35] {Threei} bands are widening under Qs, should drop more
[13:35] {_coyote} ok risking 15 cents to 29.65
[13:35] {Threei} I'd trail it to above .60 here
[13:36] {Threei} want to keep it tight in jerky market,. even at risk of being shaken out
[13:36] {Threei} if small lot, keep it at original level
[13:37] {Threei} volume dropped significantly on bounce, bodes well so far
[13:38] {Threei} volume increase on drtop
[13:39] {Threei} so far so good
[13:39] {Threei} 1:1
[13:39] {Geo} half out .35
[13:39] {Threei} nice and easy
[13:39] {Threei} stop is never geopardized, easy money
[13:39] {Threei} that's how we like it
[13:40] {lisa_jay} 4 for 4 today Vad...very easy trades. Too bad I decided to eat chicken wings and not trade.
[13:40] {Threei} Geopardized??
[13:40] {_coyote} out 29.35 in full 1:1.5 i think Thank you Vad
[13:40] {Threei} sigh
[13:40] {Threei} welcome guys
[13:40] {Geo} GEOpardise
[13:40] {Chaeron} I wasn't going to say anything
[13:40] {Threei} that's Geo's influence
[13:40] {Geo} see chaeron i told ya word revolves arounfd me
[13:41] {Threei} (as if I need anyone's influence to type badly)
[13:41] {Geo} crap
[13:41] {dino} chicken wings, nice
[13:42] {Threei} one thing is for sure guys... whatever it is you may learn from me it's NOT the typing/spelling skills
[13:42] {_coyote} actually 1:1 on Q's trade
[13:42] {Threei} yes coyote
[13:44] {_Muddleheaded} Why short the Q's and not buy QID?
[13:45] {Threei} same thing Muddle, I just don't always have a chance to type both
[13:45] {Geo} or NQ
[13:45] {_Muddleheaded} O.K. thanks.
[13:45] {Threei} if you prefer QID, understanding of setup I mean to play will give you corresponding levels on QID
[13:46] {Geo} too some at 1:1.5
[13:46] {lisa_jay} QID has wider stops and teleports
[13:47] {Threei} yes, more volatility to it
[13:47] {Geo} heheheh i find it tougher to calculate 1:1 etc in shorts
[13:48] {Geo} subtraction is tough
[13:48] {Threei} sorry geo, I sent to magoo all devices I had to help with that
[13:48] {Threei} calculator, abakus and sliding ruler
[13:49] {Geo} 1:2 ?
[13:49] {Threei} 50 - 30 = 20
[13:49] {Chaeron} in QQQQ s @ 29.47 - out @ 29.20 + 0.27
[13:50] {laserdave1} mags
[13:50] {laserdave1} dcc please
[13:50] {Threei} hope it helps
[13:50] {Threei} wtg chaeron
[13:50] {dino} gj
[13:50] {Threei} or let me spell it out this way:
[13:50] {Geo} in .59 out .18
[13:50] {Threei} 50 - 15x2 = 20
[13:50] {Geo} .49 sorry
[13:51] {Geo} much better vad
[13:51] {Threei} where 15 is original stop size, 50 is trigger
[13:51] {_coyote} Much better to post entry on entry not 10 min later that way magoo
[13:51] {Geo} 31 cents beauty call vad
[13:52] {Geo} 2X !!!
[13:52] {_coyote} won't say it's funny
[13:52] {Threei} but after magoo had troubles figuring out how many years he traded since 1999... I just had to send him all that stuff
[13:53] {Threei} now... imagine us mathematically challenged types trading with fractions {grin}
[13:53] {_coyote} Your right Vad..I am done with that guy.
[13:53] {Geo} ?
[13:53] {Threei} what guy?
[13:53] {Geo} exactly
[13:54] {_coyote} magoo.
[13:54] {_coyote} lol
06[13:54] * Geo goes off in corner to count cents
[13:54] {Threei} careful... magoo is known for being quick on trout
06[13:54] * Chaeron misses fractions
[13:54] {_coyote} not turning my back on him
[13:55] {Threei} be thankful laserdave keeps him busy :)
[13:55] {Geo} and bidu
[13:55] {_coyote} Thanks laserdave!
[13:56] {dino} fdry
[13:56] {Geo} the one advice from magoo really paying out to me
[13:56] {Geo} laying out the tragets

[13:57] {Threei} didn't know they even planned one
[13:58] {Threei} ADJOURNED SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND VOTE ON MERGER AGREEMENT TO WED 7PMET, DUE TO RECENT EVENTS IN TRANSACTION
[13:58] {Threei} - vote had originally been scheduled for today.{BRCD FULT}
[13:59] {Geo} narrow range day
[14:00] {Threei} FDRY would disagree
[14:00] {Geo} vad you still in Qs?

[14:03] {Threei} and important thing to add:

[14:04] {Geo} UAUA
[14:06] {Geo} shesh fdry spiked up now

[14:15] {Threei} that's my story and I'll stick to it
[14:15] {Threei} well... at least I laugh at them
[14:19] {_coyote} Vad, I have question..do you subscribe to any news services and if so
[14:19] {_coyote} which ones.
[14:20] {Threei} yes
[14:21] {Threei} Trade The News
[14:21] {Threei} we have a banner on our homepage
[14:21] {Threei} use it to get free trial
[14:21] {_coyote} Thank you.
[14:21] {Threei} should be somewhere at the bottom of page if I remember correctly
[14:22] {_coyote} i'll find it ..
[14:24] {Threei} lol, even FDRY slowed to a crawl
[14:24] {Threei} you still in dino?
[14:24] {Threei} or is it halted?
[14:24] {Threei} looks weird somewhat
[14:26] {dino} double stop on it, things broke
[14:27] {Threei} hmmm... something seems not right with my internet connection
04[14:27] -} [Threei] PING
[14:28] {Threei} [14:28] [Threei PING reply]: 22secs
[14:28] {Threei} yikes
[14:28] {Geo} wow
[14:28] {Geo} 0 here
[14:29] {Threei} that's why my FDRY seemed so slow I guess, lol
[14:34] {dino} heck of a bounce
[14:35] {Geo} DXD

[14:36] {dino} y
[14:37] {Threei} trying to reset router, be right back - hopefully
[14:41] {Threei} that's better
[14:42] {Threei} missed Qs .50 long I see
[14:44] {Threei} am I here?
[14:44] {Geo} y
04[14:44] -} [Threei] PING
[14:44] {Threei} whew
[14:44] {Geo} but since yo missed .5
[14:44] {Geo} we are ignoring u
[14:44] {Threei} oh, that's fine
[14:45] {Threei} I am quite comfortable with being ignored
[14:45] {Threei} PIMCO'S BILL GROSS: EXPECTS RECESSION TO BE 'LIKELY'
[14:46] {Geo} those germans !
[14:46] {Threei} sure, send market to selloff mode again Gross
[14:47] {Threei} watching NFLX for possible short
[14:47] {_coyote} OK if you would have taken the Q trade at .5 , Vad where would stop placement been?
[14:47] {Threei} 19 trigger if stays under 19.15, half lot
[14:47] {Threei} under .40 at the moment, coyote
[14:48] {_coyote} Thank you sir
[14:48] {Threei} sure
[14:48] {Threei} there were two plays actually,
[14:48] {Threei} one is breakout of .50,
[14:49] {Threei} second is pullback into it, but important thing is:
[14:49] {Threei} second pullback I wouldn't buy
[14:49] {Threei} too many retests of support, not good
[14:49] {Threei} more than that, this bounce into .50 is actually short
[14:50] {Threei} ugh, a bit late
[14:50] {Threei} no chasing
[14:50] {_coyote} OK ....learning another lesson..alright i see that
[14:50] {Threei} NFLX held .20 test
[14:51] {Threei} and same way, second bounce into .50 if happens is not a short anymore
[14:51] {Threei} here it is
[14:52] {_coyote} Why second bounce is not a short?
[14:52] {Threei} break of support is a short trigger,
[14:52] {Threei} bounce into support is a short,
[14:52] {Threei} former support I mean, now resistance,
[14:52] {_coyote} Got it! Thank you.
[14:53] {Threei} but second bounce and tagging it is not good anymore,
[14:53] {Threei} too much strength
[14:53] {Threei} same loging as earlier with long off it
[14:53] {Threei} see how it went to .60?
[14:53] {Geo} nflx looking strong vad
[14:53] {_coyote} Yes.
[14:53] {Threei} bumping iinto resistance
[14:53] {Threei} NFLX I mean
[14:54] {Threei} if breaks it, invalidated as short
[14:54] {Geo} sp by your logic no shorting pullback here but wait for breakdown
[14:54] {Threei} [14:53] {Threei} same loging {--- that was supposed to be "same logic"
[14:54] {Threei} on NFLX?
[14:54] {Geo} yeah
[14:55] {Threei} oh, you can try and enter aggressively on first bounce,
[14:55] {Threei} less likely to work on second
06[14:55] * Geo is in PP mode
[14:55] {Threei} andfthis was second
[14:55] {dino} pp mode? bathroom
[14:55] {Threei} lol
[14:56] {_coyote} I am following this..what a load to learn Vad
[14:56] {Geo} man dino
[14:56] {Geo} ohhh man
[14:56] {Threei} it's not very complicated coyote...
[14:56] {Threei} certainly not a rocket science
[14:56] {Geo} ProfitProtection
[14:56] {Threei} but to confuse you a bit more for now,
[14:56] {dino} ahhh, good deal. when up get stingy
[14:56] {_coyote} I just don't want to get laughed at
[14:56] {Threei} this second retest and break is two things in one:
[14:56] {_coyote} lol
[14:57] {dino} fdry now works
[14:57] {Threei} first is invalidation of the original setup,
[14:57] {Threei} and second is fading of the opriginal setup
[14:57] {Threei} meaning, going against it
[14:57] {Threei} in Qs case that would be long on .50 break
[14:57] {Threei} in NFLX case that would be long on .20 break
[14:58] {dino} rally
[14:58] {Geo} ncie vad
[14:58] {Threei} logic is simple: if setup is violated, opposite side took opver
[14:58] {Threei} everyu setup can be played in different ways
[14:58] {Threei} envision JBE
[14:58] {Threei} break of uppoer limit is long, right?
[14:59] {Threei} break of lower limit is invalidating the JBE
[14:59] {Threei} and can serve also as a short indication
[14:59] {Threei} Chaeron often plays this fade of my setups if they get invalidated
[14:59] {Geo} sneaky !!
[14:59] {Geo} didnt know that
[14:59] {Threei} that's him
[14:59] {Threei} sneaky is his middle name
[14:59] {Chaeron} well....... true.,....
[15:00] {Threei} break of .20 on NFLX would work
[15:00] {_coyote} Alright that is a new play with Chaeron..
[15:00] {Threei} and break of .50 on Qs would work beautifully
[15:00] {Threei} although in all fairness, there is no way I would have held it that long
[15:00] {magoo} back
[15:00] {magoo} we in anything vad?
[15:00] {Threei} would havce scalped like 30 cents ago, lo;l
[15:01] {Chaeron} it's logical... I mean if it isn't going to work one way, it's because that set up is going to fail. So be fast and open to shifting to other side...
[15:01] {_coyote} Following you on that
[15:01] {Chaeron} and I normally only look for a scalp on those
[15:01] {Threei} wow, NFLX 30 cents
[15:01] {_coyote} Would that be 1:1 Chaeron
[15:02] {Chaeron} yes
[15:02] {_coyote} Thanks
[15:02] {Geo} do you play QLD vad?
[15:02] {Threei} I don't go into these things on each given trade, too much to type,
[15:02] {Threei} but if you read TTR, you saw all these variations
[15:02] {Chaeron} you will get feel... all is then reflex and instinctual, not thought about
[15:02] {Threei} no Geo
[15:02] {Threei} nice mover though
[15:03] {_coyote} Will take awhile from the book to real time for me
[15:04] {Chaeron} not long... trust me... the whole thing about this room is that Vad can show you how to not only do but evolve as the markets evolve. That's what keeps a trader around and in the black consistantly over the long term
[15:05] {dino} out ice 59.70, +1.20
[15:05] {Geo} yeah
[15:05] {_coyote} Thats good new on both counts
[15:05] {Geo} lets hope he doesnt retire to alaska or something
[15:05] {Chaeron} by that time, you'll be able to run this room geo
[15:05] {Threei} alaska?
[15:05] {Threei} too cold
[15:05] {Geo} well you did visit !
[15:05] {Chaeron} heard you liked Sarah Palin :)
[15:06] {Geo} well with her new bling who wouldnt
[15:06] {Threei} don't confuse tourism for immigration, as old joke goes :})
[15:06] {dino} sarah could be hot
[15:06] {Geo} tell that in LA
[15:06] {Geo} "could" dino?
[15:07] {Threei} watching Qs for bounce
[15:07] {dino} they need to let her dress it now, throw on some contacts, you know
[15:07] {Threei} 28.80 roughly
[15:07] {_coyote} It seems as though if you subscriber you need to post entry and exit times but if
[15:07] {Geo} missed ;(
[15:08] {_coyote} your a guest you up to something funny if you don't
[15:08] {Threei} nah coyote
[15:08] {Threei} it's a oersonal choice
[15:08] {Threei} we have members who speak once a year if that
[15:08] {dino} keeps me tight w/stops coyote
[15:09] {Threei} some want verification,
[15:09] {Threei} some use it as a way of self control,
[15:09] {_coyote} OK i'll buy that
[15:09] {Threei} feeling of bweing watched makes you disciplined
[15:09] {dino} i am the 2nd group
[15:09] {Threei} some just brag
06[15:09] * Threei is looking around waiting for someone to volunteer
06[15:10] * Geo heh
[15:10] {_coyote} OK clear on that
[15:10] {Threei} and some simply trade and never talk to me
[15:10] {magoo} geo's bad
[15:10] {Threei} maybe they hate me, I don't know :)
06[15:10] * Geo daily is 10$ so i make 10X daily
[15:10] {magoo} mine 15 dollar but made 3x

[07:44] {Nemo} At my age, sleep is a luxury that doesn't come easy
[07:45] {Nemo} Forgot, your on the left coast
[07:45] {Threei} ok... but to yell that loud that early? :)
[07:45] {Threei} kidding
[07:45] {Threei} lemme get that coffee
[07:45] {Nemo} I'm not a chat afficianado...don't know what I'm doing
[07:47] {Threei} it's easy... type here for conversation with evceryone, doubleclick on my nick and type in new window that pops up to talk to me privatelty
[07:48] {Nemo} you referred to yelling...I know in blogging capital letter are considered yelling. I don't have that access
[07:49] {Threei} nah, that just was my cranky morning side, lol
[07:49] {Nemo} oh...your evil twin :)
[07:49] {Threei} futs look ominous so far
[07:50] {Threei} NQ - 19, SP -17
[07:50] {Threei} and ticking
[07:50] {Nemo} when I saw low positives last night I thought it would be a bad day.
[07:51] {Nemo} Haven't heard much about Lehman CDSs settlements. I wonder how much of yesterday was liquidation around that issue
[07:52] {Threei} well, we are so dangerously close to breakdown level, lows of Oct 10 and 16, it starts acting like a magnet
[07:52] {Threei} and iof broken...
[07:52] {Threei} let me look, I posted it yesterday
[07:53] {Nemo} IMO: P/Es have to get down to the 70s lows, and how much of these CDSs have to be wrung out, meaning more liquidations
[07:54] {Threei} [14:20] {Threei} $72B OF CREDIT SWAPS HAVE REPORTEDLY SETTLED WITHOUT INCIDENT THROUGH SELLERS PAYING $5.2B
[07:56] {Nemo} POT trumped earnings but outlook cloudy, trading up 5%. Won't last long.
[07:57] {magoo} morning
[07:57] {Threei} magoo :)
[07:57] {Threei} POT is glorified manure company
[07:58] {Nemo} You ever hear the parable about when the different parts of the body were discussing who should be boss? Manure is very important
[07:58] {Threei} yes, lol
[07:59] {Threei} (RU) S&P REVISES RUSSIA OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE
[07:59] {Threei} {Russia} Fine, be that way... who to invade next?

[08:00] {Threei} yeah, but one of those cities has a lot of bling
[08:00] {Nemo} Garden Circle. 3 miles of money

[08:05] {Threei} wow
[08:05] {Threei} canadian way to unfreeze credit market?
[08:05] {Threei} to take risk out of it completely?
[08:05] {Nemo} Lemmings doing same thing around the world can you say moral hazard...
[08:05] {Threei} I can feel a lot of unintended consequences coming
[08:06] {Nemo} Must be that 3rd eye talking :)
[08:06] {Threei} lol
[08:07] {Threei} just imagine how wide the gates are being open to lending influenced by greed or corruption, when risk is being completely erased
[08:07] {Nemo} You mean just like before...nahhh
[08:10] {Threei} PREVIEW: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS DATA DUE OUT AT 8:30 AM ET

[08:10] {Threei} - Continuing claims seen at 3.715M v prior 3.711M.
[08:12] {Nemo} DOW profits down, Sales down
[08:12] {Threei} SAUDI ARABIAN OIL MIN: OIL PRICES WILL BE DETERMINED BY MARKET
[08:13] {Nemo} Hahah...I thought they'd play ball
[08:14] {Nemo} This will keep Chavez and Iran at bay, and help keep the price of gold down
[08:14] {Threei} as long as their cuts are reasonably within theior current surplus, they just don't matter
[08:14] {Nemo} Saudi needs $30 oil to pay their bills...more is gravy
[08:14] {magoo} vad, dcc
[08:14] {Threei} and to cut below that trying to create lack of oil, in current situation?
[08:15] {Threei} won't happen, IMO

[08:40] {Threei} AMERICAN TECH RAISED AMZN TO HOLD FROM SELL, PRICE TARGET: $40
[08:42] {Threei} {AMZN} what kind of upgrade is that
[08:43] {Nemo} The "I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll fake my expertise" upgrade
[08:45] {Threei} you can almost feel how desperately market is trying to back off this deadly edge, lows of 10/10
[08:50] {Threei} looks like we are in for the wild ride again for these two days
[08:51] {Threei} EMERGING MARKET CURRENCIES OFF SESSION LOWS ON CHATTER THAT IMF WILL PROVIDE $1T AID PACKAGE
[08:51] {Threei} 1T eh?

[08:55] {Nemo} lvlt loss narrows bid .35 ask .37 close.23
[08:56] {Threei} a bit too narrow for a day traading candidate
[08:57] {Nemo} would expect it to fade nicely today
[08:58] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:58] {Threei} Onix :)
[08:59] {Threei} markets are upticking
[09:00] {Threei} against another bad set of jibless numbers
[09:00] {Threei} jobless too
[09:02] {Threei} AMGN upticking
[09:02] {Threei} announced decent earnings and guidance yesterday
[09:02] {Threei} BC

[09:05] {Threei} 5.25 is two days resistance for JBLU
[09:05] {Threei} was trying to break it yesterday when market selloff came and took it away from breakout level
[09:05] {Threei} SPOT GOLD BREAKS BELOW $700/OZ FOR FRESH 13 MONTH LOWS
[09:05] {Threei} gold is getting killed
[09:08] {Geo} gm
[09:09] {Threei} geo :)
[09:09] {dino} gm all. end of days again
[09:09] {Threei} dino :)
[09:11] {Threei} JBLU
[09:11] {Threei} CEO: WE ARE COMMITTED TO NO CAPACITY GROWTH IN 2009 - CONF CALL
[09:13] {Threei} OK guys, first, welcome to all gusts,
[09:13] {dino} lol. we are committed to not growing
[09:13] {Threei} move your chairs closer,
[09:13] {Nemo} I'm sensitive about trout
[09:14] {Threei} just don't touch that palm tree in the corner please, last time around too many cigarette butts in the pot damaged it
[09:14] {Threei} we have a rule about not trouting the guests
[09:14] {Threei} although we do break our rules frequently
[09:15] {Threei} second, let's form our working assumptions for the day
[09:15] {Threei} pattern lately was:
[09:15] {Threei} some selling at the opne, steady climb for a few hours, then sharp selloff closer to end of day
[09:16] {Threei} let's go with that for now, with one necessary comment:
[09:16] {Threei} we are very close to a dangerous breakdown level
[09:16] {Threei} so markets are likely tio be even more nervous
[09:17] {Threei} let's for now keep our bets to half lot unless stock is very thick and stop is fairly tight
[09:17] {Threei} alert format includes trigger for a trade, condition and stop level
[09:17] {Threei} like this:
[09:18] {Threei} Long Setup: ABCD 30.01 if stays above 29.90
[09:18] {Threei} 30.01 is a trigger,
[09:18] {Threei} breakdown of 29.90 is invalidating level if broken before triggering
[09:18] {Threei} and stop level if broken after
[09:18] {ese} good morning
[09:18] {Threei} ese :)
[09:19] {Threei} sometimes plays are more discretionary than that,
[09:19] {Threei} then alerts are somewhat fuzzy,
[09:19] {Threei} like:
[09:19] {ese} morning vad...and welcome the members to the board bomer buce nemo et al
[09:19] {ese} new members
[09:19] {Threei} ABCD is a bounce candidate, likely off 19.50 level, watch for nasdaq strength to guide entry
[09:20] {_Bruce} morning all
[09:20] {Threei} bruce :)
[09:20] {Threei} any questions so far?
[09:20] {_Case} Good morning Vad. and team.. thanks for the open house :-)... Question: How do you size "lot" in terms of your total capital per trade?
[09:20] {Threei} don't hesitate to ask if you get any
[09:20] {Threei} good morning case
[09:21] {Threei} we go with risk tolerance
[09:21] {Threei} idea isd:
[09:21] {Threei} you define how much you are willing to lose on any given trade
[09:21] {Threei} industry standard is 1-2% of your trading account
[09:21] {Threei} from here, having your stop loss on particular setup
[09:21] {Threei} you figure out lot size
[09:22] {Threei} example:
[09:22] {Threei} you are willing to lose no more than 200 on a trade,
[09:22] {Threei} stop size is 20 cents,
[09:22] {Threei} you can go with about 1000 share IF stock is thick enough so slippage is not an issue
[09:22] {Threei} when you deal with thin volatile traders, like RIMM,
[09:23] {Threei} no way you can count on no slippage
[09:23] {Threei} so you cut down your size
[09:23] {Threei} I usually iclude this evaliuation in alert
[09:23] {_Bruce} morn vadster
[09:23] {Threei} saying "half lot" or small shares"
[09:24] {ese} bruce...
[09:24] {_Bruce} howdy ese
[09:24] {Threei} for the open, considering volatility, let's keep them all to half lot
[09:24] {ese} vads a typing monster this morning......
[09:25] {Nemo} amazing with that accent
[09:25] {dptl} good morning all
[09:25] {Threei} youmean MIStyping monster?
[09:25] {Threei} dp :)
[09:25] {ese} dp!!!!!!
[09:25] {dptl} :)
[09:26] {_Case} Thanks Vad.. perfectly clear. Followup question: Are you / the regulars here sticking to 1% risk per trade, 0.5% or something higher?
[09:26] {Threei} I am generally keeping it within 1-2%
[09:27] {Threei} as for regulars... they all found and destroyed spy cameras I had installed in their offices... can't tell aymore
[09:27] {_Case} :-)
[09:27] {Nemo} once a kgb guy
[09:27] {Threei} lol
[09:28] {Threei} watching UAUA
[09:28] {ese} 1-2% for me as well
[09:29] {Threei} usually fast one at the open
[09:29] {Threei} sharp dive under 14 if happoens, will be buying opportunity
[09:29] {Threei} it often does that
[09:29] {Threei} consequent run is usually fairly impressive

[11:47] {Threei} Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Hundreds of hedge funds will fail and policy makers may need to shut financial markets for a week or more as the crisis forces investors to dump assets, New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini said.
[11:47] {Threei} ``We've reached a situation of sheer panic,'' Roubini, who predicted the financial crisis in 2006, said at a conference in London today. ``There will be massive dumping of assets,'' and ``hundreds of hedge funds are going to go bust,'' he said.
[11:47] {_Dean} 1:3 last half. ty .
[11:47] {Threei} good job Dean
[11:47] {Threei} explain to me please, what those funds are going to do if markets are closed
[11:47] {_Dean} All Hail Vad!
[11:47] {Threei} how do they liquidate?
[11:48] {Threei} or he means they won't?
[11:48] {Geo} they panic and dump when markets open
[11:48] {Geo} thus even worse
[11:48] {Chaeron} hmmm "sheer panic"... we're close to a bottom
[11:48] {Nemo} Vad the scalper...like Vad the impaler?
[11:48] {Threei} then what happens over this week to prevent dumping when it opens?
[11:48] {peterg} I will buy 1 million shares for .10c
[11:48] {Threei} lol nemo
[11:48] {Geo} thats what he was calle din high school

06[11:49] * Chaeron slaps Nemo around a bit with a large trout
[11:50] {Threei} yeah... like that
[11:50] {Nemo} That's fratricide!!!
[11:50] {dino} ice stopped again,
[11:50] {peterg} nemo, thats this group for ya
[11:50] {peterg} also, can commit trout suicide
[11:51] {Threei} ``Systemic risk has become bigger and bigger,'' Roubini said at the Hedge 2008 conference. ``We're seeing the beginning of a run on a big chunk of the hedge funds,'' and ``don't be surprised if policy makers need to close down markets for a week or two in coming days,'' he said.
[11:51] {Threei} I feel like I am in some parallel universe

[12:01] {_Muddleheaded} Vad, how to you manage $US/CDN exchange? Do you convert $US to $CDN every night?
[12:01] {_Bruce} mos looks weak - possible short - can be very volatile trader
[12:01] {Threei} no muddleheaded (what a nick, lol)
[12:01] {Geo} :)
[12:01] {Threei} money is in USD tading account
[12:02] {Threei} when I withdraw profits, I convert to CAD
[12:02] {Threei} sometimes waiting for a few days if I see chart as an opportunity to get a better rate
[12:02] {_Muddleheaded} Do you think the $CDN is oversold?
[12:03] {Threei} really no idea... was it oversold when exhcnage rate was around .60?
[12:03] {lisa_jay} uaua stil valid Vad?
[12:03] {Threei} yes lisa
[12:03] {Threei} see, CDN is pretty much petro currency,
[12:03] {Threei} commodity currency,
[12:04] {Threei} with commodities going into basement, it's no wonder CAD drops,
[12:04] {_Muddleheaded} That's for sure, thanks Vad.
[12:04] {Threei} then cycle starts:
[12:04] {Geo} booohoohoo
[12:04] {Threei} economy weaknes,
[12:04] {Geo} UAUA not available
[12:04] {Threei} BoC has to cut rates
[12:04] {Threei} which weakens CAD even more
[12:05] {Threei} and US economy is the basement which means sharp drop in non-oil related sectors in Canada
[12:05] {Threei} we see it in Ontario as we speak
[12:05] {Threei} so it's kind of triple whammy on CAD
[12:05] {Threei} UAUA 1:1
[12:05] {_Bruce} out mos + 42c
[12:05] {Threei} half out or take scalp
[12:06] {Geo} ?
[12:06] {Geo} laser didnt let me
[12:06] {Threei} no
[12:06] {Threei} but some may have it for short
[12:06] {Geo} i know
[12:06] {Geo} you in the superlicious secret group vad?
[12:06] {Threei} so I provide commentary for all, not limiting them to you only Geo... sorry
[12:07] {Chaeron} Geo thinks he's the center of the universe :)
[12:07] {peterg} he's not?
[12:07] {Geo} thats what you told me over beer chaeron !!!
[12:07] {Threei} well, I can't blame him, I think pretty much the same of myself
[12:07] {Chaeron} just wanted to make you feel good buddy :)
[12:07] {Threei} and it comes as a great surprise to me when I see people thinking otherwise
[12:07] {Geo} lol chaer
[12:08] {Geo} just wistfull about 20 cents thats all
[12:08] {Threei} amazingly enough, there are 7 billions of those
[12:08] {Threei} can you believe it?
[12:08] {_Bruce} rimm headiong to daily lows
[12:08] {Chaeron} I can't believe with as stupid as the human race is, we've reached 7B
[12:08] {Geo} hey magoo you there?
[12:08] {Threei} yeah, looking at RIMM for short at .50 break
[12:08] {Threei} would prefer some bounce first though
[12:09] {Threei} why chaeron... this I actually find easy to believe, considering how little smarts the process requiress {Grin}
[12:09] {Geo} really?
06[12:10] * Geo will go back in PG mode
[12:10] {lisa_jay} 22c on UAUA thanks Vad.
[12:10] {Threei} skipping RIMM short here
[12:10] {Threei} welcome lisa
[12:10] {Geo} damn
[12:10] {Geo} nice lisa
[12:10] {Threei} muddle... one more comment on CAD
[12:10] {lisa_jay} Thanks Geo.
[12:11] {Chaeron} thanks Vad... nice cancel notice... saved me big... -.08 only on RIMM
[12:11] {Threei} consider this market manner to overshoot reasonable targets
[12:11] {_Dean} out in full uaua 1st half 1:1 second half 1:2.5, second realitytrader trade both winnners
[12:11] {Geo} wierd spike
[12:11] {Threei} I was hesitant on it from get go chaeron
[12:11] {Threei} eread my first comment
[12:11] {Chaeron} I know... but you know I'm aggressive
[12:11] {_Muddleheaded} I guess everything is unreasonable now, thanks Vad.
[12:11] {Threei} beautiful Dean
[12:12] {Threei} right, that's what I mean
[12:12] {_Dean} thank you sir!
[12:12] {Threei} if fundamen tals say CAD should be where it is now (I don';t know if they are)
[12:12] {Threei} then market is very likely to overshoot it by moving much further in trend direction
[12:13] {Threei} just take a look at daily chart UAUA
[12:13] {Threei} the most fresh example
[12:13] {Geo} 15 res
[12:13] {Threei} frikin thing drops from about 14 to under 5
[12:14] {Threei} from 09/16
[12:14] {Threei} rallies from there to over 16
[12:14] {Threei} was there such drastic change of fundamentals over such short period of time?
[12:14] {Threei} this is state of utter confusion
[12:15] {Threei} and emotions-driven trading
[12:15] {peterg} you mean.....market is not unlike gambling?????
[12:15] {Threei} ummm
[12:15] {peterg} never mind
[12:15] {Threei} there are some analogies
[12:15] {peterg} kdg
[12:15] {Threei} but look at it this way
[12:15] {Nemo} yeah...gambling's one of 'em
[12:15] {Threei} no, it's a valid angle
[12:16] {Threei} there are gamblers that simply gamble
[12:16] {Threei} and there are those that watch faces
[12:16] {peterg} agree & like the emphasis on multiple perspectives
[12:16] {Threei} count cards
[12:16] {lisa_jay} I am one of them...
[12:16] {Threei} remember movie Rounders?
[12:16] {lisa_jay} Gambler that is
[12:16] {Nemo} and then there's the 3rd eye
[12:16] {Threei} amazing analogy between a good professional card player and trader
[12:16] {Nemo} Rounders...great movie
[12:17] {peterg} third ear from psychoanalyst Reik, i think
[12:17] {Threei} so, in a sense that a trader as a good gambler needs to know patterns,probabilities and read emotions, yes
[12:17] {peterg} Third eye--Hindu concept?
[12:17] {Nemo} shamanistic concept
[12:17] {peterg} I like tt
[12:17] {Threei} in a sense that trading is just like throwing aa dice and hoping... only if it's a bad trader :)
[12:18] {Nemo} goes back to Tungusia...yes, beard?
[12:18] {Threei} lol
[12:18] {Threei} never been there
[12:18] {Nemo} Nothin but mosquitos and kumis, and people w/no teeth
[12:18] {peterg} where?
[12:18] {peterg} Tungusia?
[12:19] {peterg} near Louisiana?
[12:19] {peterg} or Urals?
06[12:19] * Geo totally lost
[12:19] {Nemo} russian hinterlands north of china/mongolia
[12:19] {peterg} wos
[12:19] {Geo} ok
[12:19] {peterg} wow
[12:19] {dino} ugh ice, stopped my short by .20, then drops 2.30
[12:20] {Threei} market is back to a pattern of selling second half of the day
[12:20] {Threei} let's watch for bounces to short into
[12:20] {Threei} RIMM bounce into .60 - .70 resistance area
[12:21] {Threei} wow ADBE... did we cover early
[12:21] {Threei} or rather... why didn't we reshort bounce back into 25
[12:21] {Threei} anyway, nearest resistance is .65 - .70 area
[12:21] {Nemo} too busy chatting
[12:22] {Geo} i guess vads a good host
[12:22] {Threei} lame excuse but I'll take it
[12:22] {Geo} making polite conversatiopn
[12:22] {Geo} lol
[12:22] {peterg} some champagne with your shrimp, sir?
[12:22] {Threei} well, it's either that or vodka Geo...
[12:22] {Nemo} I missed skf turn...caviar please...
[12:23] {Nemo} vodka...ran out last night
[12:23] {Threei} ADBE topped out at .59
[12:23] {Threei} a bit too fast to catch it there
[12:23] {Threei} or someone managed?
[12:23] {Chaeron} was waiting in the 60s
[12:23] {Chaeron} beuty call tho
[12:24] {Threei} RIMM nowhere even closer to resistancer
[12:24] {Chaeron} beauty too
[12:24] {Threei} market edges toward that dreadful support to break again
[12:24] {Threei} see how pace picks up as we move toward it?
[12:25] {Threei} nervous players start liquidating
[12:25] {Threei} this starts feeling like self-fulfiling fear
[12:26] {peterg} wonder how this will end today
[12:26] {Threei} not pretty, my bet
[12:26] {peterg} feels like it
[12:27] {Nemo} what are the support levels?
[12:27] {Threei} for today, NQ 1220 to break to launch next wave of panic
[12:27] {Threei} and on daily, 1200
[12:28] {Nemo} is that CAD?
[12:28] {Threei} loss of that is likely to be a terrifying event
[12:28] {Threei} CAD?
[12:28] {Threei} no
[12:28] {Threei} NASDAQ e-minis
[12:28] {Geo} waiting at 19
[12:28] {Threei} QID
[12:29] {Threei} for those who don't trade NQ
[12:29] {Nemo} Ive got Nasdq at 1600 support...oops
[12:29] {Geo} wo
[12:29] {Threei} by NASDAQ you mean COMP?
[12:30] {Nemo} I'm only in the US and we speak the same language. I have NASDAQ, DJ, and S&P as basics
[12:30] {Geo} one lot coever at 15
[12:30] {Threei} NASDAQ is measured by diff indicators
[12:31] {Geo} other breakeven
[12:31] {Geo} a bit skittish
[12:31] {Threei} COMP is whole NASDAQ
[12:31] {Threei} NDX is NASADAQ 100
[12:31] {Threei} and what I use is NASDAQ 1-- e-minis,
[12:31] {Threei} which is NQ
[12:32] {Geo} all out 4 + 1 points
[12:32] {Nemo} don't know minis here
[12:32] {Geo} minis usually lead IMO nemo
[12:32] {Threei} right, that's why we prefer them as leading indicator
[12:32] {Geo} COMPX NDX is an aggregate taken after the fact
06[12:33] * Geo agrees
[12:33] {Threei} in terms on COMP, corresponding level to short was 1600,
[12:34] {Threei} and dreadful support on daily is 1545 roughly
[12:34] {Threei} 1540 - 1545
[12:36] {Threei} some have amazing knuck for stating the obvious, going even furter than mine:

[12:36] {Threei} cool beans

[12:38] {Threei} market is torn between "oanic" and "don't panic"
[12:41] {dino} this market feels bad, imo
[12:41] {Threei} OK, panic
[12:41] {dino} feels like 7900 coming again
[12:42] {Threei} NASDA is about to revisit yesterday's low
[12:44] {Threei} if NASDAQ reverses back down, look to short ADBE wih stop above .50
[12:45] {Threei} if NQ goes above 1223, panic is canceled for now
[12:46] {Threei} postponed to be exact
[12:46] {Geo} :)
[12:49] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .39 if stays below .50
[12:51] {Threei} come on market give up... time to panic

[12:52] {Threei} yup
[12:52] {Geo} out .52

[13:01] {_Dean} 3 realitytrader trades 3 wins! can't beat that!
[13:02] {magoo} feels like 500 down today
[13:02] {Threei} and on one of them you did better than we did, lol
[13:02] {Threei} mags, then look for QID entry
[13:02] {_Dean} lol
[13:03] {Threei} here we go... inching toward yesterday's low
[13:03] {Threei} broke
[13:03] {Threei} 1200 is within spitting distance
[13:05] {dino} gj dean
[13:05] {Threei} next wave of selling should take us into 1200,
[13:05] {Threei} little bounce
[13:06] {Threei} then breakdown and wave of red all over

[13:13] {Threei} just follows the market
[13:15] {Threei} still can't tell if we are off the hook for today or it's just a small bounce before swan dive
[13:16] {Threei} if we consoidate a little between 1215 and 1220 and break 1220, relief rally is likely
[13:16] {Nemo} Nahhh...it's a big, barbed, hook...and we ain't talkin' trout hook
[13:16] {Threei} broke 1220
[13:16] {Threei} not much of consolidation though
[13:19] {Threei} watching LVS
[13:20] {Threei} pullback buy with .50 support
[13:20] {Threei} if market sighs with reliefe, likely to go over 9

[13:23] {Threei} it continues over and over again
[13:24] {dino} thats the amazing part.
[13:25] {dino} ironically all of the buybacks by companies are losers too. they should have gotten rid of debt, not bought back stock 2x-5x higher
[13:25] {dino} what a waste
[13:25] {Nemo} buy backs were signals to get out
[13:25] {dino} yes
[13:25] {Nemo} signals for insiders...that is
[13:26] {Threei} low volume pullback
[13:26] {dino} bunch of idiots. retire debt not buy stock....or give it to shareholders
[13:26] {dino} wasted trillions
[13:26] {Threei} now, if we are holding above 1210 and go back over 1220, we are out of the woods for the day
[13:26] {Threei} lose 1210, all bets are off
[13:26] {dino} 8800 on dji recent resistance
[13:27] {Nemo} they did give it to shareholders who turned in their stock

[13:28] {dino} plus jack put them in the mess
[13:28] {Threei} IMF OFFICIALS DENY RUMORS OF A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1.0T FACILITY
[13:28] {Nemo} If you were a financial insider, you knew the feces were about to hit the ventilator
[13:29] {Nemo} You offer a buyback at the top of the market, contact wealth managers at the largest firms, and your largest shareholders, and tell them to sell
[13:30] {dino} it sure looks that way
[13:30] {dino} and then of course, blame the shorts
[13:30] {Nemo} nope
[13:31] {Nemo} naked shorting is another story...it's fractional reserve selling
[13:31] {lisa_jay} Vad, long LVS stop still under .5
[13:31] {Threei} yup
[13:31] {dino} my point, the shorts were right
[13:31] {Threei} NQ lost 1210

[13:38] {Threei} amazing
[13:38] {dino} that used to be a day
[13:40] {Threei} usually this kind of abnormal volatility signalled trend reversal
[13:41] {Threei} yet who will risk to say ultimate bottom is in
[13:41] {dino} bruce will
[13:42] {_Bruce} tough call dino - still thinking down though

[13:46] {Threei} this kind of trades with this riskm we are taking every day many times

[14:21] {Threei} about your QID entry
[14:21] {Threei} that was breakout
[14:21] {Threei} which is not usually a the best way to play this beast
[14:22] {Threei} its volatility gives a lot of severe pullbacks
[14:22] {Threei} it's usually better pley on those
[14:22] {Threei} play too
[14:22] {magoo} ewhere u get in vad?
[14:23] {Threei} whenit pulled back to about 85.20 or so, I got it at 83.60

[14:27] {Threei} hmm.. preventive trout?
[14:27] {Geo} i thought he asked
[14:27] {Geo} hmmm nice pullback
[14:27] {_Bruce} exited balance of aapl +.38
[14:27] {Threei} wtg
[14:28] {Geo} we miss ya bruce !!
[14:28] {Threei} chart wise, this bounce is asking to be shorted
[14:28] {_Bruce} thanx vadster
[14:28] {_Bruce} lucky
[14:28] {Threei} but honestly speaking
[14:28] {Threei} I'll stay away for now
[14:29] {_Bruce} I trade like dino now - if the thing isn't going to move a buck whey even look at it?
[14:29] {Nemo} When is the crash scheduled for today?
[14:29] {Threei} dino is intervening into my teritory now Bruce...
[14:30] {Threei} trades a lot of 15-30 cents play
[14:30] {Geo} thats just wrong
[14:30] {Threei} si as a countermeasure I play more of $1 moves
[14:30] {_Bruce} lol
06[14:30] * _Bruce slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[14:30] {Threei} it's already here Nemo... it's just a mini-crash
[14:31] {Threei} for now at least
[14:31] {Nemo} Nahhhh...we're still in the range for today
[14:31] {Threei} sensitivity has changed greatly
[14:31] {Threei} -250 is nothing these days
[14:31] {dino} lol bruce
[14:32] {Threei} we bat eye at -500
[14:32] {Threei} -700, OK, that's crash
[14:32] {dino} yes, but 552 range
[14:32] {dino} unfortunately, normal too
[14:33] {_Bruce} taking break here
[14:34] {Threei} day was pretty much around flat for me before this last drop... some stops, some winds, mostly balancing each other
[14:34] {Threei} then this QID play took in black sharply
[14:36] {Threei} 1200 break NQ is scary long signal
[14:36] {Threei} for strong hearts only
[14:37] {Threei} 29.50 QQQQ corresponding level
[14:37] {Threei} 83 short QID corresponding level
[14:38] {Geo} stop for NQ pls vad ?
[14:38] {Threei} under 95
[14:38] {Geo} yeah was afraid of that :(
[14:38] {Threei} target about 1215
[14:40] {Geo} 1:1 one lot out
[14:41] {Threei} what can you do Geo, this is price of volastility
[14:41] {Geo} i banked with heavy heart
[14:41] {Geo} TY
[14:41] {Threei} QID reached almost dollar profit, then bounced all the way back into trigger
[14:41] {Threei} it happens so fast on these moves, you just need to react on it rather than wait for a call
[14:42] {Geo} yeah
[14:42] {Threei} QQQQ hit .65
[14:42] {Geo} in 1200:50 out 1206
[14:42] {Threei} least effective of all of them leverage wise
[14:43] {Threei} bounce from here again
[14:44] {Threei} got 94 or so?
[14:44] {Threei} they tage levels and jump of them faster than I can type
[14:48] {Nemo} figures...quick 10 minutes away...sheesh
[14:49] {Geo} hmm Goldman leaying off 10%
[14:49] {Geo} about 3500
[14:52] {Threei} unclear here...
[14:53] {magoo} seems to easy to sell off into last hour again...but thats what been doing
[14:54] {Threei} feels more like down but not enough confidence for play
[14:56] {Threei} ok, working assumption is, one more little bounce and down again
[14:57] {Threei} QID around 84.50 is probably long
[14:57] {Geo} that was fast
[14:58] {Threei} got .56, looking to exit for about $1
[14:59] {Threei} sheesh
[15:00] {Geo} wow
[15:00] {Threei} stopped for -.15
[15:00] {Threei} too greedy
[15:00] {Nemo} Ti To
[15:00] {Threei} as if 70 cents was not enough, lol
[15:00] {lisa_jay} Vad, what kind of stop do you give for a volatile stock like QID? Thanks.
[15:01] {Threei} originally about 30 cents
[15:01] {Threei} but tightenting it as it nmoves
[15:03] {Threei} looks like line in sand is drawn for todsay
[15:03] {Threei} higher low
[15:04] {Threei} look for entry on pullback
[15:04] {Threei} NQ around 1195
[15:04] {magoo} too bad this mkt wouldn't go green 300
[15:05] {Threei} QQQQ around .37
[15:05] {magoo} mess up the shotrts
[15:05] {Threei} like clockwork
[15:05] {Threei} got NQ anyone?
[15:05] {Threei} or Qs?
[15:05] {Geo} no
[15:06] {Threei} come on... gave you exxact number this time
[15:06] {Threei} and it was hit perfectly
[15:06] {Threei} 11 points NQ
[15:06] {Threei} in one gasp
[15:06] {Geo} :(
[15:06] {Threei} 30 cents Qs

[15:09] {Geo} 20 points
[15:09] {Threei} relief rally mode
[15:09] {Threei} pullbacks are for entry
[15:10] {Threei} pullbacks are likely to be severe
[15:10] {Threei} don't jump in on slight correction, wait for sharp down
[15:10] {Threei} Qs over 60 cents jump
[15:10] {Threei} and no takers
[15:10] {Threei} you guys...
[15:11] {Chaeron} a bit nervous... hesitant
[15:11] {Chaeron} and then, bam... too late
[15:11] {Geo} same here
[15:11] {Chaeron} more of psychological part of your training... not mechanical... important
[15:15] {Threei} oullback is likely here
[15:16] {Threei} Qs to about .60-.70
[15:16] {Threei} NQ to about 1210-1212
[15:17] {magoo} needs to reverse quick
[15:19] {Threei} one more leg down probably
[15:19] {Threei} very quick

[15:23] {lisa_jay} Sorry - stop?
[15:23] {Threei} [15:20] {Threei} stop under .50
[15:23] {lisa_jay} Most are probably in the trade still.
[15:23] {lisa_jay} Thank you.
[15:24] {Threei} hmmm... thought of it of just a bounce scalp
[15:24] {Threei} underestimated market's eagerness to recover some
[15:25] {Threei} stuill pretty nervous out there
[15:25] {Threei} look how sharp pullbacks are
[15:25] {lisa_jay} yes.
[15:26] {dino} i'm using 8200-88 range for now.
[15:27] {dino} patience, your thoughts?
[15:28] {Threei} frankly, while I do appreciate these wide rane relatively fast days... today is too fast
[15:28] {Threei} hard to call things in time
[15:28] {Threei} have to almost type and lcik my entries at the same time
[15:29] {dino} yeah, i sat aside afternoon. too wierd
[15:29] {Geo} you need a typing monkey vad
[15:29] {Threei} I have a cat who walks on keyboard
[15:29] {Threei} will it do?
[15:29] {Geo} nope
[15:30] {_Dean} doing just fine until i had chicken for lunch
[15:30] {lisa_jay} Trust me...pets or kids only add to distractions.
[15:30] {Threei} let's try... come here george
[15:30] {Threei} cijfguy sjrha;aw9ugjd
[15:30] {Threei} makes sense?
[15:31] {Threei} OK, cat is out
[15:31] {Threei} this drop I don't like
[15:31] {Geo} today was tiring and wierd
[15:32] {Threei} violated upward channel
[15:32] {dino} could be the classic eod selloff
[15:32] {dino} go for lows or more
[15:32] {Threei} not buying this pullback for sure
[15:32] {Threei} this is not a pullback anymore
[15:32] {Threei} rather attenot to reverse the tren on 1 min
[15:33] {Threei} attempt
[15:33] {Threei} trend
[15:33] {Threei} lol
[15:33] {Threei} Geo... monkey would do better, I'll have to admit
[15:33] {Geo} :)
[15:34] {Threei} don't smile at me... you should be objecting, consoling, saying things like "no way, you are still better than monkey"
[15:34] {Geo} sheesh
[15:34] {Threei} lol
[15:34] {Geo} youre the best vad
[15:34] {Threei} great, now monkey feels deeply offended
[15:35] {Threei} OK, let's see if this bounce is short
[15:35] {Geo} man my head hurts from the psychedelic LII colors
[15:35] {Threei} Qs about .75
[15:35] {Threei} first weakness from here
[15:36] {Threei} in .74
[15:36] {Threei} stop .81
[15:37] {_Dean} in Q's .74 short
[15:37] {Threei} nervous jumping, not likeing it
[15:38] {Threei} prefer more smooth trades
[15:38] {Threei} out .65
[15:38] {Geo} half out
[15:39] {Threei} better now
[15:39] {Geo} 1/4 out

[15:41] {Threei} too jumpy for my taste
[15:41] {Threei} I am a lazy tyoe, I hate struggling
[15:41] {Threei} profits must come easy
[15:42] {Threei} Dean?
[15:42] {Threei} you covered?
[15:44] {Threei} I find it hard to believe SLW price
[15:44] {_Case} Indeed.
[15:45] {Threei} you know what
[15:45] {Threei} it could be worth taking some overnight
[15:45] {Threei} stop under 3.30
[15:45] {_Case} It's almost at its IPO
[15:45] {_Dean} ou...
[15:45] {Threei} if today's bounce gets any continuastion tomorrow, it's very likely to get back to 4 at least
[15:46] {dino} what the?
[15:47] {Threei} lol
[15:47] {Threei} let me finish your sentence as Stewie would: What's the deuce??
[15:47] {hawkfan4} lol
[15:48] {Geo} wow dow +100
[15:48] {Geo} whats he range today?
[15:48] {dino} 8243-8795
[15:49] {Geo} nice
[15:49] {Threei} one of those near-extraordinary days
[15:49] {Threei} rally, sharp breakdown, new lows, rally again
[15:50] {Threei} all happening with lightning speed
[15:50] {Threei} I believe we handle it col-bloodedly enough (if that's a word)
[15:51] {Threei} hopefully tomorrow we get more of clear direction and a bit more manageable speed
[15:51] {Threei} and if not, our approach is the same:
[15:51] {_Dean} knocked over my bottle of gin...actually picked up +28 pts on QQQQ trade...4 for 4 today.
[15:51] {Threei} tight stops, reading things as they come, being easy to change the opinion
[15:51] {_Dean} Thanks Vad!
[15:51] {dino} gj
[15:51] {Threei} great job Dean
[15:51] {Geo} nice dean
[15:52] {Chaeron} nice one dean... and gin? must be Dean Martin
[15:52] {_Dean} Thanks guys!
[15:52] {Threei} if any of guests get any questions for tomorrow, prepare them and don't hesitate to ask
[15:52] {_Case} Thanks Vad
[15:52] {_Dean} have to stop drinking out of the bottle.
[15:52] {Threei} case :)
[15:53] {Threei} not taking any more trades today
[15:53] {Threei} took SLW overnight
[15:53] {Threei} unless it goes to 4 today, lol
[15:53] {_Case} Wouldn't surprise me :-)
[15:53] {Threei} lol, no kidding
[15:53] {Threei} any questions so far guys?

[15:56] {_Dean} dino.)

Session Time: Wed Oct 22 00:00:01 2008

[08:20] {_eliaun} Good Morning all
[08:20] {Threei} Good morning
[08:21] {_eliaun} a lot of trouts were hit yesterday
[08:21] {Threei} that's how we express happiness
[08:21] {Threei} unhappiness
[08:21] {Threei} appreciation of other human being
[08:22] {Threei} lack of such
[08:22] {Threei} and any other emotion or absence of it
[08:22] {Threei} what can I say... we are limited in our ways of explressing
06[08:24] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[08:24] {Threei} and here is practical illustration
[08:25] {magoo} morning lol
[08:25] {Threei} :)
[08:25] {magoo} they keep changing rules vad...they halted AAPL before call last night..never halted before
[08:26] {Threei} not really true
[08:26] {Threei} AAPL was being halted before earnings announcement regularly
[08:26] {Threei} they stopped doing thatg for a while
[08:26] {Threei} now resumed that practice, but I remember it happening from 1997
[08:26] {Threei} probably by company request
[08:30] {magoo} that does it......................
06[08:30] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:30] {Threei} NWA
[08:30] {Threei} REPORTS Q3 -$1.20 V $0.25E
[08:33] {Threei} - The reported results include a $410 million non-cash charge associated with marking-to-market out-of-period fuel hedges as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
[08:34] {lisa_jay} Good morning.
[08:34] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:35] {Threei} I guess airlines got hit badly by fuel hedging
[08:36] {Threei} this incredible volatility in oil prices makes business planning tough
[08:38] {magoo} vad, do u know if our hard stops do not work afterhours?
[08:38] {Threei} no idea
[08:38] {Threei} I barely ever use them during market hours
[08:38] {magoo} i know
[08:38] {Threei} let alone after :)
[08:48] {lisa_jay} Vad, when you talk about aggressive entries (like ADBE) with sharp spike in NQ, what specifically should i be looking for.
[08:48] {lisa_jay} Thank you.
[08:49] {Threei} let's start with defining aggressive entry
[08:50] {lisa_jay} ok.
[08:50] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/07/how-aggressive-are-you.html
[08:51] {lisa_jay} I did read that article.
[08:51] {Threei} from here,
[08:51] {Threei} instead of waiting for the setup with a certain trigger
[08:51] {Threei} you use general market as leading indicator (in a case of a stock that does follow the market)
[08:52] {Threei} and when market changes direction, you grab your stock - providing there is a delay that gives you a window of opportunity
[08:54] {lisa_jay} What exaclty constitues a sharp spike, vs just market movement. Also what settings for you nq (to set my charts to the same thing).
[08:54] {Threei} 1 minute chart
[08:55] {Threei} what constitutes sharp spike... well, it's a matter of observation
[08:55] {Threei} sudfden move, big enough and fast enough
[08:55] {Threei} merely 1-2 points uptick is not really it
[08:56] {lisa_jay} Ok, thank you.
[09:00] {lisa_jay} SNDK ouch...Samsung pulls deal.
[09:10] {dptl} good morning all
[09:10] {Threei} DELL is scaringly close to 52 week low
[09:10] {Threei} dp :)
[09:12] {Onix} Good morning all
[09:12] {Threei} Onix :)
[09:13] {Threei} if we get market drop and DELL forms a range close enough for a reasonable stop, break of 12.27 should serve as a short trigger
[09:14] {Threei} most likely a scalp
[09:22] {hawkfan4} good morning
[09:23] {dino} gm, running late, just sold the foreclosure flip
[09:23] {Threei} hawk, dino :)
[09:25] {Geo} gm all

[10:09] {Threei} at your discretion
[10:09] {Geo} thats rather nice of you in the morning vad
[10:10] {Threei} it felt very much like another run in the making while it held close to 15 during market drop...
[10:10] {Geo} .15 being defended dell
[10:10] {Threei} but to bring myself to call it after such a spike over last days is another matter
[10:10] {Threei} especially considering how volatile it is
[10:11] {dino} csh sm l .00

[11:43] {lisa_jay} cal
[11:43] {lisa_jay} sorry wrong screen
[11:55] {dino} pressure building imo, this maket is going to either pop or drop hard
[11:56] {lisa_jay} Do you follow ticks and other market internals....if so we are seeing high +ve ticks vs -ve...so pop maybe.
[11:58] {dino} i don't lisa.
[11:58] {dino} more of a gut feel, watching scanners
[11:58] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Dino.
[11:59] {dino} :)

[11:59] {Geo} i just have a vad alert
[11:59] {dino} i may be wrong, but feels up
[11:59] {Threei} sometimes it gets cloudy because magoo is blocking the line of sight

06[12:41] * Threei cancels his sense of humor forever
[12:41] {hawkfan4} hee, now that's funny!
[12:41] {Threei} too late
[12:42] {Threei} bands tightened
[12:43] {Threei} spike is coming
[12:43] {Threei} either way
[12:43] {Threei} most likely both ways, lol
06[12:46] * Threei repeats swift kick in market's rear
[12:47] {lisa_jay} ntri almost 1:1

[13:00] {dptl} ok ty
[13:01] {Threei} balance stopped on NQ and QID
[13:04] {lisa_jay} Vad is there an alternative way to play QID & NQ calls...my platform does not allow me to short QID. Thanks.
[13:04] {Threei} play long QQQQ instead
[13:04] {Threei} just less effective
[13:04] {Threei} less risk too
[13:06] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[13:06] {Threei} compare ranges... 70 cents QQQQ vs 3.20 or so QID
[13:07] {Threei} gives you idea of volatility
[13:08] {lisa_jay} yes, there was a 15c move in qqqq since your call (appx.)
[13:09] {Threei} out balance NTRI .40
[13:09] {Threei} shuld have stay with plan, designated it as a scalp from the get-go
[13:11] {Threei} and should have taken those typing courses
[13:11] {lisa_jay} was NTRI a scanner play?
[13:12] {Threei} oh, and should have ignored those humor development course - obviously wasted money
[13:12] {Threei} yes
[13:12] {lisa_jay} Lol.
[13:12] {Threei} or maybe not...
[13:13] {Threei} lol
[13:13] {Threei} UAUA nice drop

[14:42] {magoo} that 14:05 up

[14:45] {patience} -404 tsx
[14:45] {dino} theres the 8600

[14:51] {dino} lol
[14:51] {Threei} wow UAUA
[14:51] {Geo} hmmmm
[14:52] {Geo} is it tin hat time?
[14:53] {Threei} QID .50 break... scary
[14:53] {Geo} stop?
[14:54] {Threei} under .20 I'd think
[14:54] {Geo} NQ 44?
[14:55] {Threei} target closer to 78 QID
[14:55] {Threei} or just scalp... really hard to tell
[14:55] {Threei} emotions are running high again
[14:56] {Threei} nything can happen in a blink of eye
[14:57] {Threei} sold half .73
[14:57] {Threei} mostly to reduce risk than on valid read
[14:57] {Threei} stop to under .40
[14:58] {Threei} out second half
[14:58] {Threei} .35
[15:04] {dino} brb
[15:05] {Threei} look CNN
[15:05] {Geo} ?
[15:08] {Threei} ugh
[15:08] {Threei} wanted UAUA short .50 but it broke way too fast
[15:08] {Threei} not sure about bounce
[15:09] {Threei} had in mind quick scalp, and that played out in seconds
[15:10] {Threei} CNN at the time talked about website rendered credible source by analysts,
[15:10] {Threei} calling for an attack on US before the election
[15:11] {Threei} bounce was still a good entry on UAUA...
[15:12] {magoo} not so smart..dubya will kick their asses
[15:12] {magoo} wait for oisama obama
[15:12] {Threei} according to analysts their idea is to impact the election itself
[15:12] {Threei} trying to support McCain by attack
[15:12] {magoo} it would hurt obama..help mccain
[15:12] {Threei} right
[15:12] {Threei} and that's what they want
[15:13] {Geo} why?
[15:13] {Geo} not in their interest?
[15:13] {Threei} to keep fighting
[15:13] {Geo} crap
[15:13] {Threei} keep USA engaged
[15:13] {Threei} try to exhaust
[15:13] {Threei} and keep their mission alive
[15:14] {Geo} cant we nuke em?
[15:14] {Geo} please?
[15:16] {lisa_jay} Look at Uaua break 14.
[15:17] {Geo} QID almost 79
[15:17] {Threei} yeah... I took short and .20, scalped covering at 14.06
[15:17] {Threei} too risky to call
[15:18] {Threei} see how it teleports?
[15:18] {Threei} 10-15 cents
[15:18] {Threei} almost with no traades inbetween, just disappears in one spot and surfaces in another
[15:18] {lisa_jay} Yes.
[15:18] {Threei} -480 DJI
[15:18] {Threei} end of the world is coming again?
[15:20] {Threei} took small QID
[15:20] {Threei} stop under .80
[15:21] {Threei} held like charm so far
[15:21] {Threei} now go
[15:21] {Threei} stopped
[15:22] {Threei} need sufficient pullback for more confident entry
[15:23] {dino} how about bush putting that warning out just to frighten voters to mccain
[15:23] {Threei} what an ubelievably touching e-mail
[15:23] {Threei} Here writes Madam Margaret Clark, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Engineer Gilbert Clark an Englishman who is dead.
[15:23] {Threei} I am crying
[15:23] {Geo} how many million vad?
[15:23] {Threei} My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the
[15:23] {Threei} down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or
[15:23] {Threei} financial predicament.
[15:23] {Threei} wait... I am still crying
[15:24] {Geo} did i tell you i reply to all of them?
[15:24] {Geo} one line only
[15:24] {Geo} send me 100 by paypal and well talk
[15:24] {Threei} hehe
[15:24] {Threei} oops
[15:24] {Threei} 4.4 Million (four million Four Hundred Thousand USD)
[15:24] {Threei} nah
[15:24] {Threei} too small
[15:24] {Geo} every time they reply back and protest i double it
[15:25] {Geo} never worked beyond 3rd reply though
[15:25] {Geo} :(
[15:25] {Threei} there is a guy in UK I think who engages with them and tries to milk them
[15:25] {Threei} sometimes successfully
[15:25] {Threei} quite dangerous game, many are hardened criminals
[15:26] {Threei} Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am
[15:26] {Threei} suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer.
[15:26] {Threei} back to crying
[15:26] {Threei} couldn't bering myself to go for this bounce UAUA
[15:27] {Threei} probably because of all the crying
[15:29] {Threei} more flush is coming
[15:29] {peterg} dow 500
[15:29] {peterg} back to the submarine, while plunging
[15:29] {Threei} did we go through all the gaps yet?
[15:30] {Threei} yeah
[15:30] {Threei} NEW YORK FED SAYS THAT THE FED WILL EXPAND THE MONEY MARKET BUYING PLAN BEYOND THE INITIAL LIST OF 50 CANDIDATE FIRMS
[15:31] {Threei} so, are we aiming for total state ownership of everything?
[15:33] {Threei} pcause if so, why worry whether one of candidates is sociaist
[15:33] {Threei} {--- looking forward to morning geeting "hello comrade magoo"

Session Time: Tue Oct 21 00:00:00 2008

[08:06] {magoo} jhhdfdhffyjyfv
[08:06] {Threei} lkgoidnht?
[08:06] {Threei} anyway... good morning
[08:07] {lisa_jay} Hi Vad. I am finally here.
[08:07] {Threei} hi lisa, welcome back :)
[08:07] {lisa_jay} Thank you.
[08:07] {lisa_jay} $%^%$# Magoo. Hope you remember me.
[08:08] {magoo} morn lisa...why u swearing at me already? he he
[08:09] {lisa_jay} I:-)
[08:09] {Threei} oh mags, just look in the mirror...
[08:09] {lisa_jay} Vad, is it too early for questions?
[08:09] {Threei} and tell me it didn't made you swear {G}
[08:10] {Threei} shoot lisa
[08:11] {lisa_jay} Should I place hard stops in the system or manually close position if stop price hit?
[08:11] {Threei} it's a matter of 2 things
[08:11] {Threei} 1. personal discipline
[08:11] {Threei} 2. ability ot be at your computer
[08:12] {Threei} if you are good at executing stops without second-guessing them, and can be at your station majority of the time, I would prefer manual stops
[08:12] {Threei} if you have to leave for a few hours, place hard stop
[08:13] {Threei} if you know thyself and suspect you may ignore the stop in hope stock recovers... place hard stop and don't give yourself a chance to ruin your account
[08:14] {lisa_jay} Ok, thank you.
[08:15] {Threei} one more advice about stops
[08:15] {Threei} every time you have to take a stop, slap magoo with trout - it helps cope with loss
[08:15] {lisa_jay} Sounds fishy.
[08:15] {Threei} it is
[08:15] {Threei} but it works
[08:16] {Threei} both emotional relief and satisfaction of delivering joy to thy neighbor
[08:16] {Threei} help immensely
[08:24] {magoo} :)
[08:34] {magoo} AKS vad news?
[08:36] {Threei} 08:31am [AKS] Reports Q3 $1.67 v $1.45e, R $2.16B v $2.16B

[08:51] {Onix} Good morning all

[10:23] {Geo} i think vad should work harder in NQ.... it will keep him sharp
[10:23] {Threei} new high ADBE
[10:23] {Geo} there is nothing in it for me of course
[10:24] {Threei} so... anyone is capable of holding last portion THAT long on ADBE? :)
[10:24] {Threei} or your scalping instincts take over?
[10:25] {Threei} probably market needs some rest
[10:25] {lisa_jay} Scalped for break even on ADBE...could not deal with volatility (initially). As a penance (sp), holding firm on GERN.
[10:26] {Geo} yeah me breakeven on adbe too
[10:26] {Threei} wow
[10:26] {Geo} fatfingered 2 lots by mistake
[10:27] {Geo} didnt help me
[10:27] {Geo} so got out at even
[10:27] {Threei} I don't know how you guys manage to stay breakeven on a stock that moves 60 cents with 20 cents stop... never touching stop level
[10:27] {Threei} come on, a bit of discipline
[10:27] {Threei} let's trail GERN to under .65
[10:27] {lisa_jay} Yes. I will not doubt you again :-)
[10:27] {Geo} welli should have exited one lot at breakeven and traded like nothing happenned
[10:28] {Threei} it's not even me to doubt or not... it's simply rules of trading
[10:28] {Threei} stop is not tagged - stay in
[10:28] {Threei} don't trade on noize
[10:28] {Geo} sniff
[10:29] {lisa_jay} Yes. Learnt the hard way (paid 40c) for it.
[10:29] {Geo} ndaq running
[10:29] {Threei} literally 40c?
[10:30] {Geo} nq stop vad?
[10:30] {Threei} under .35
[10:30] {Threei} but come on
[10:30] {Threei} my target was 50 -55
[10:30] {Threei} it hit 54
[10:31] {Geo} got distracted by gap fill
[10:31] {Geo} no excuse
[10:31] {lisa_jay} Seriosly, this is one aspect of trading that i am trying to master, and avoiding taking profits too soon (before 1:1)
[10:33] {lisa_jay} There goes gern.
[10:33] {dino} micc stopped
[10:34] {Threei} {GERN} well Geo... are you still unhappy with me?
[10:34] {Geo} :)
[10:34] {dino} wmt stopped -.35
[10:34] {dino} stop city
[10:34] {dino} starting over
[10:35] {lisa_jay} Vad 1:1 on Gern is .90 or .85? Thank you.
[10:36] {Threei} formally .90...
[10:36] {Threei} noty sure what the best way to play it would be
[10:36] {Threei} let's re-evaluate as it gets there
[10:37] {Threei} it climbs nicely andf against the market, but overall this stock has a history of disapointing
[10:37] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[10:40] {Geo} nflx got beatup up
[10:42] {Geo} powerup?
[10:42] {Threei} let's trail GERN under .70

[10:47] {Geo} stopped NQ
[10:47] {Geo} good lesson
[10:48] {Geo} TY vad
[10:48] {Threei} still stopped on a trail, in plus, right?
[10:48] {Geo} still got 8 points one one and 4 on other
[10:48] {Geo} on one
[10:49] {Geo} so 240 bucks
[10:49] {Geo} not banking second lot on 54 was a big mistake
[10:50] {Threei} maybe not exactly 54, it's hard to nail exact top,
[10:50] {Geo} i had it on 50
[10:50] {Threei} but when it lost 50, .49 should have been taken
[10:50] {Geo} moved to 55 heheh
[10:50] {Geo} thought gap would fill
[10:50] {Geo} good to know
[10:50] {Geo} nice way to exit
[10:50] {Threei} so, 49 - 34 = 15x20 = $300, right?
[10:51] {Geo} yeah :(
[10:51] {Threei} write it down as a price of mistake
[10:51] {Threei} and look at it every time you experience doubt
[10:51] {Geo} thats a great way to exit vad
[10:51] {Geo} loses round nuber
[10:51] {Geo} exit
[10:51] {Geo} never thought of that

[11:34] {lisa_jay} Actually went through nearly every chat log that is posted on Vad's blog. So used to the jokes...my kind of humor.
[11:34] {Chaeron} ahhh... birds of a feather

[11:46] {Geo} and not the 8 ball
[11:46] {dino} lol
[11:47] {Threei} it's either failure or last pullback
[11:47] {Threei} JNPR is too weak
[11:47] {Threei} made new low whiole NQ is merely pulled back
[11:47] {magoo} this mkt blows

[12:33] {Geo} nq target vad?
[12:33] {Threei} closer to 1320 for now
[12:33] {Threei} will re-evaluate as it gets there
[12:34] {Geo} QID seems lot faster than NQ
[12:34] {Threei} volatile thing
[12:34] {Geo} yeah
[12:34] {Threei} ultrashort ETF
[12:34] {Geo} ah
[12:34] {Geo} never played
[12:35] {Threei} try with small shares first
[12:35] {Geo} you do full lot?
[12:35] {Geo} exactly
[12:35] {Threei} only when I am very confident
[12:35] {Chaeron} UAUA needs a boot soon...
[12:35] {Geo} looks like a 300 for me
[12:36] {dino} sgp l .50
[12:38] {Threei} QID 1:2
[12:38] {Threei} wow
[12:38] {Threei} out .42
[12:38] {Geo} NQ one lot out
[12:38] {Geo} 1:1
[12:40] {Geo} stop still o4 vad?
[12:41] {Threei} want to tail it and don't want to overtighten...
[12:41] {Threei} how about 06?
[12:41] {Geo} NQ moves diff
[12:41] {Threei} yeah
[12:41] {Geo} back and fills
[12:41] {Threei} that's why I am in doubt
[12:42] {Threei} can't trail NQ like usual stock
[12:42] {Threei} will be shaken out 9 out of 10
[12:42] {Geo} definately tougher
[12:42] {Geo} gys who took QID smirking
[12:43] {Threei} that's what we natural born smirkers do
[12:43] {Geo} :)
[12:44] {Threei} do this Geo
[12:44] {Threei} watch the NQ move,
[12:44] {Threei} wantchg according QID move,
[12:45] {Geo} lol
[12:45] {Threei} compare them to see the correlation,
[12:45] {Geo} just set that up
[12:45] {Threei} then calculate how many shares will match how many contracts
[12:45] {Threei} compare volatility in terms of violating the setup to account for slippage
[12:45] {Threei} and you'll get your way to play QID
[12:47] {Geo} out NQ
[12:47] {Chaeron} finally UAUA
[12:47] {Chaeron} 1:1
[12:48] {Geo} 1000 shares QID apprx 3 contracts of NQ
[12:49] {Geo} so i guess my 300 QID was good as its one NQ
[12:49] {Geo} looking at vol now
[12:50] {Threei} hmm
[12:50] {Threei} doesn't look right to me
[12:50] {Geo} ?
[12:50] {Threei} my feeling is, 1000 shares QID is closer to 5 contracts
[12:53] {Geo} 1k QID = 70k 3 NQ = 78k
[12:53] {Geo} apprx
[12:55] {Threei} ?
[12:55] {Geo} leverage
[12:55] {Threei} this is wrong way to compare
[12:55] {Geo} ok
[12:55] {Threei} weigh the size of the movement against each other,
[12:55] {Geo} ok
[12:55] {Threei} see how much $ you make on 1 contract NQ
[12:56] {Geo} ok
[12:56] {Threei} calculate how many shares you need on QID to make the same amount of money on the move that corresponds with NQ
06[12:56] * Geo back to drawing board
[12:56] {Threei} meaning,
[12:56] {Threei} (just an ewxample)
[12:56] {Threei} 5 points NQ equal 50 cents QID
[12:56] {Geo} sniff
[12:56] {Threei} not saying it is, that's for to observe
[12:57] {Threei} 1 contract on 5 points gives you $100
[12:57] {Threei} then you need 200 shares QID to gain the same on corresponding move
[12:58] {Threei} capishe?
[12:58] {Geo} sigh
[12:58] {Geo} you right vad
[12:58] {lisa_jay} Thank you Vad, got 20c on UAUA.
[12:58] {Threei} good job lisa
[12:58] {Geo} still half in UAUA
[12:58] {Threei} good job sitting tight and letting trade work out
[12:58] {Threei} I know it tempted you to quit zillion times
[12:59] {Geo} man NFLX pounded for outlook
[12:59] {lisa_jay} :-)
[12:59] {lisa_jay} I learnt the hard way that good things come to those who wait.
[12:59] {Geo} you make a good case for trading QID rather than NQ vad lol
[13:00] {Geo} the stops on QID definately easier

Oct 17 2008

We finished two weeks of hitorically high volaitlity, VIX hitting unseen levels and trends changing faster than traders could recognize them. Out of last 10 trading sessions we had 9 positive, with quite a few room members reporting record profits - including stunning 72 points NQ on a single trade. I consider these weeks to be handled as well as it only possible.

Session Time: Fri Oct 17 00:00:00 2008

[07:50] {magoo} morning
[07:51] {hawkfan4} mornink
[08:01] {patience} morning
[08:11] {Threei} morning
[08:30] {Threei} SEPT HOUSING STARTS: 817K V 872KE; BUILDING PERMITS: 786K V 840KE
[08:58] {dino} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} dino :)
[09:00] {dino} :)
[09:07] {ese} good morning....
[09:07] {Threei} ese :)
[09:08] {ese} interesting finish to the day yesterday.....up +400
[09:08] {ese} on the dow
[09:08] {Threei} in terms of recent volatility - insignificant uptick
[09:08] {Threei} oh boy... look at the punding ESLR takes
[09:08] {Threei} pounding
[09:09] {dino} lol
[09:09] {dino} how about pudding
[09:09] {ese} noticed that....wheres it going to go?????
[09:09] {Threei} that too
[09:09] {ese} it's already there
[09:11] {ese} by my estimation on the down side it still has a share value of between 11 and 15
[09:11] {Threei} don't know ese... it's a toughie
[09:12] {Threei} solars is a sector where many factors involved
[09:12] {ese} indeed
[09:12] {Threei} with oil dropping, their prospects are questionable
[09:12] {Threei} considering that they can't survive so far without heavy tax subsidies
[09:13] {ese} thats true
[09:13] {Threei} the way I see it:
[09:13] {Threei} with oil at 150, they can't survive without such injections,
[09:13] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:14] {Threei} but injections are considered necesseary because of fear of even higher oil prices
[09:14] {Threei} Geo
[09:14] {Threei} now, with oil cut in half
[09:14] {ese} geo
[09:14] {Threei} what are the incentives to continue spending that much on solar?
[09:14] {Threei} sure, there is all this green talk
[09:14] {Threei} oil peak talk
[09:15] {Threei} but it all nice and well during prosperity time
[09:15] {Threei} not when belts are getting teghtened all over the place
[09:15] {ese} that may be just the point right there vad
[09:15] {Threei} I am not saying whole sector will necessary die
[09:15] {GeoArb} options expiratiopns today?
[09:16] {Threei} but certain filtering out will be done
[09:16] {Threei} even in totally viable industries it'sa normal process
[09:16] {ese} if you put in a solar heating system ...your approx 1year away from ever having to pay for heating costs ever again......thats the draw these days
[09:16] {Threei} survival of some and culling of others
[09:17] {Threei} 1 year?
[09:17] {ese} this last oil spike was a wakeup call......i think most anyone who purchases solar is looking at it that way
[09:18] {ese} yes 1 year....i find that link
[09:18] {Threei} you sure about 1 year? I seem to remember much longer
[09:18] {ese} the new technology that ESLR has come up with puts approx there
[09:19] {ese} i'll find that article was looking at it the other day
[09:19] {Threei} ty
[09:19] {Threei} one thing that is troubling from longer term investment in them is:
[09:19] {Threei} process of defining who survives aand who doesn't will involve consolidation
[09:20] {Threei} i.e., some of them will be absorbed by bigger ones,
[09:20] {Threei} and that will nail the price of buyout
[09:20] {Threei} So, if some one invests in a stock at, say, 10
[09:20] {Threei} it drops to, say, 3
[09:20] {Threei} and one thinks I'll hold
[09:20] {Threei} one faces a risk of it being taken over at, say 5
[09:21] {Threei} cash
[09:21] {Threei} End... will never recover his investment
[09:21] {dptl} good morning all
[09:21] {Threei} dp :)
[09:21] {cosmo} hey... 5 beats 3
[09:22] {Threei} true... but yeilds to 10
[09:22] {cosmo} that's history
[09:22] {Threei} so is your invested money :)
[09:22] {peterg} morning
[09:23] {Threei} peter :)
[09:23] {cosmo} yep
[09:23] {Onix} Good morning
[09:23] {Threei} onix :)
[09:24] {dino} es, cost recovery is not one year, and no way it could heat a house for free
[09:25] {GeoArb} i would say 5 atleast

[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Initial Jobless Claims from 478K to 477K
[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims revised from 3.659M to 3.671M
[08:39] {ese} morning Vad
[08:39] {Threei} good morning
[08:39] {ese} that sell off yesterday was not the same kind of volume as last thursday
[08:39] {Threei} no
[08:40] {Threei} Europe/Asia reversed losses,
[08:40] {Threei} we are having gap up instead of big down
[08:40] {ese} just looking at that now.....
[08:44] {ese} hmmmmm getting to the point where they've rung out the weak hands
[08:45] {Threei} this point has to come sooner or later
[08:45] {Threei} NCC... I wish I knew what's cooking there
[08:46] {ese} is that a bank?
[08:46] {Threei} yeah, nationalcity
[08:48] {ese} wow.....down from 36.00 high....
[08:49] {Threei} well... just by that you can tell it's a bank :)
[08:49] {ese} assuming the govt is bailing them out as well.....3.00 is a great price
[08:51] {Threei} MORGAN STANLEY RAISED WFC TO OVERWEIGHT FROM UNDERWEIGHT, PRICE TARGET: $40
[08:53] {ese} smart money is going to be picking up shares of banks all over the place.....WFC is free money.....
[09:00] {ese} US banking system needs to do something about the way the back deposits. Canadian system is way more stable. Canadian banks are required to have more gold deposits to back up deposts rather than assets
[09:03] {ese} not sure what it was like down south but it sure didn't seem like canadians were running to the banks to take there money........
[09:03] {ese} seemed like most canadians could have cared less
[09:04] {cosmo} sounds careless
[09:04] {dino} gm all
[09:04] {ese} how so cos?
[09:04] {Threei} dino :)
[09:04] {ese} dino
[09:04] {cosmo} literally
[09:04] {ese} ahh
[09:04] {Threei} it's a matter of leveraging in the fractional reserve system ese
[09:04] {Threei} we all operate in it,
[09:05] {ese} indeed
[09:05] {Threei} but at some point more or less sane leverage, let's say 1:10 or 1:12
[09:05] {Threei} got replaced by up to 1:40
[09:05] {Threei} and new money created by new loans out of thin air turned a system into pyramid standing on its top
[09:06] {dino} just keep 250k or less, you are fine
[09:06] {ese} definately
[09:06] {dino} or, better yet, keep it at brokerage, they carry higher covera amounts
[09:06] {dino} coverage
[09:06] {ese} I understand the leverage thing very well......have to leverage my house every month to stay on this board.......
[09:07] {dino} whats up w/amzn, bloody thing
[09:07] {ese} yuk yuk yuk
[09:07] {dino} lol es
[09:07] {dino} we live on leverage here
[09:07] {ese} ??
[09:08] {cosmo} the need to increase mechanical advantage...
[09:09] {dino} daytrading 4/1
[09:10] {Threei} Why the panic bail-outs? The answer lies in the $55 trillion dollar Credit Default Swap market that is unraveling day to day. Banks and central banks are totally focused on the breaks to the credit ring when up to $400 billion of Lehman Brothers CDS obligations come due in the next week, with nobody at the teller window to pay up.
[09:10] {Onix} Good morning all
[09:10] {Threei} Onix :)
[09:11] {ese} onix
[09:11] {Threei} What this means is that unspecified banks holding the Lehman CDS derivatives will get nothing, and then they will be unable to meet their obligations to other banks. At stake are the Money Market Funds on deposit in these banks. The entire system could collapse, so banks do not want to be in the position of lending to one another. The credit market has failed.
[09:12] {ese} now that should be interesting Vad
[09:13] {ese} I thought those credit swaps had already unravelled.....
[09:13] {ese} end of last month
[09:13] {Threei} I am afraid we are far from that
[09:13] {dptl} good morning all
[09:13] {ese} hmmmmm
[09:13] {ese} dp
[09:13] {Threei} dp :)
[09:14] {dptl} :)
[09:14] {Onix} hi dp
[09:15] {Threei} *SEPT INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION: -2.8% V -0.8%E
[09:16] {Threei} three biggest banks in the world that control well over 90% of the CDS market: JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), and Bank of America (BAC).
[09:17] {Threei} This crisis will soon be over – but first the bankers must show us they have survived the next wave of CDS obligations coming due this week and next. The answer will be in the share prices of JPM, C and BAC.
[09:17] {ese} they will get bulk of govt bailout probably .....to back stop it.
[09:20] {ese} if the US govt can't backstop it Vad.....we'll use your money...dinos ...and a couple of otheres on the board
[09:21] {ese} probelem solved!!!!
[09:21] {Threei} I'll defend my last $3.62 till last couple of magoo's blood

[15:01] {Threei} aren't you guys are rays of hope
[15:02] {peterg} enough of the euphoria of Monday; lets reallhy shhow meaning of pain
[15:02] {peterg} but not all at once
[15:02] {Onix} OK I'm in for lunch ... how is it going?
[15:02] {dino} we're getting close. everybody i talk to is depressed
[15:03] {peterg} depresseed? I happy
[15:03] {dino} couple guys i know are putting off retiremenmt for a few more years
[15:03] {Threei} that's why I don't talk to anyone
[15:03] {peterg} retirement? work til drop
[15:03] {dino} no, no, no, just letting you know the dino meters
[15:03] {peterg} gotcha
[15:04] {dino} i'm w/you peter, work until i die i hope
[15:04] {dino} my mind would go crazy sitting around
[15:05] {dino} more so than it already is
[15:05] {peterg} eggzktly
[15:14] {dino} fcx sm l .23
[15:15] {Onix} no rhyme or reason or rhythm in this market
[15:18] {dino} pretty amazing really, wipe of 5 years in a month
[15:18] {dino} imo, crash
[15:18] {patience} fallout is starting to be ugly
[15:20] {dino} oh ohh
[15:21] {dino} whoosh coming
[15:21] {patience} i wonder if i could just give the plumber my gold necklaces
[15:21] {peterg} is a whoosh up or down?
[15:21] {dino} hmm i was wrong
[15:21] {peterg} or either way
[15:21] {Onix} you still have gold necklaces?
[15:22] {Threei} or not dino
[15:22] {dino} felt down
[15:22] {dino} que?

[15:23] {Onix} Buffett propping it up?
[15:24] {dino} axys sm l .83
[15:25] {dino} feds are, releasing $
[15:26] {dino} certain banks are guaranteed
[15:26] {dino} c, bac, jpm, wfc, ...
[15:28] {Threei} 35 break on daily looks very tempting for it
[15:28] {dino} our local banks are refusing funds, don't want to pay 5%, listen to requests, etc...plus they are fine
[15:31] {dino} axys stopped
[15:32] {dino} fcx stopped -.37
[15:32] {Threei} half lot WFC long for a bounce if NQ turns
[15:34] {Threei} come on NQ... any optimism at all?

[15:40] {Threei} market is holding at the gap fill level
[15:42] {Threei} hesitated at .70
[15:42] {Threei} too bad
[15:42] {Threei} nice jump from there
[15:44] {Threei} so far... pain was right, more pain was not
[15:44] {Threei} but we still have 15 minutes
[15:44] {peterg} I'm thinking the world needs more fear and terror yet
[15:44] {peterg} but not today
[15:44] {dino} v sm l aapl .25 swing
[15:45] {Threei} oil under 75?

[15:52] {patience} why is magoo so quiet today?
[15:52] {peterg} am I not paying enough attention, Master?
[15:52] {dino} we gap down at open, fill the 8451 gap frpm fri, then proceed up to fill the open gap
[15:52] {dino} i mentioned this earlier

[08:22] {Threei} lol... good morning
[08:22] {Threei} giant squid
[08:31] {Threei} US TREASURY RELEASES EQUITY PURCHASE PLAN
[08:32] {Threei} US FED'S BERNANKE: PRESSING FORWARD WITH COMMERCIAL PAPER PLAN
[08:32] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON URGES BANKS TO DEPLOY CAPITAL
[08:32] {Threei} I feel like I am not doing my part
06[08:33] * Threei orders economy to start fnctioning well
[08:33] {Threei} there... now I've joined the chorus
[08:33] {hawkfan4} lol, you're off the hook now
[08:37] {Threei} - US Treasury equity purchases will be up to $250B in 9 banks; expects 'thousands more'
[08:37] {Threei} - Paulson tells banks to 'deploy' capital, not 'hoard it'
[08:38] {Threei} it's not like they don't want to
[08:38] {Threei} they are just scared to death to lend without knowing what possible nightmares may hide other bank's balance sheet
[08:40] {Threei} FDIC OFFICIALLY ANNOUCES TEMPORARY LIQUIDITY GUARANTEE PROGRAM
[08:40] {hawkfan4} the market will never go down again apparently
[08:40] {Threei} nope
[08:41] {hawkfan4} amazeable
[08:43] {magoo} thoughts for today boss?
[08:43] {Threei} more of the same
[08:44] {Threei} probably not 1000 points
[08:44] {magoo} i think it will be harder because of some profit taking...any thoughts
[08:44] {Threei} maybe
[08:45] {magoo} but pullbacks i think will be deeper today than yesterday...what u think on that?
[08:45] {Threei} I don't know
[08:46] {Threei} could be, could be not
[08:46] {magoo} thhat does it right there...................
06[08:46] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:46] {Threei} ah admit it, you just wanted an excuse
[08:46] {magoo} tru dat
[08:47] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON: WE MUST GET CREDIT FLOWING AGAIN AND OVERCOME THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
[08:47] {Threei} - We regret taking these actions, they are something we never wanted to do. But the alternative is totally unacceptible.
[08:53] {magoo} vad..u think the open will be bought or sold?
[08:53] {dino} gm all
[08:53] {Threei} dino :)
[08:53] {magoo} i am just trying to tap into your experience..i know no one knows
[08:53] {Threei} my feeling is, shallow pullback, stall, then resumption of upward crawl
[08:54] {cosmo} 'totally unacceptible' may jsut be a basis for negotiation
[08:54] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:54] {magoo} nice response
[08:54] {cosmo} just
[08:54] {Threei} onix :)
[08:54] {cosmo} .... at some point
[08:55] {Threei} yeah cosmo... "Your position is totally unacceptable. Now let's negotiate"
[08:55] {dino} my opinion magoo. anything can and will happen. react, don't anticipate
[08:56] {Threei} as they used to say in Soviet Union, "So what your positive answer is going to be?"
[08:56] {cosmo} k.... were's my meds...

[08:57] {ese} Tall..... Blond.....
[08:58] {cosmo} fifth of vodka?
[08:58] {ese} ouch.....
[08:59] {Threei} vodka is not taken in fractions
[08:59] {Threei} vodka is measured in bul'bul' s
[09:00] {Threei} you know the sound it makes when you pour it?
[09:00] {cosmo} splash?
[09:00] {Threei} bottle contains 21 bul' bul'... if you divide it by three, pour 7 bul' bul's in each glass, and it's going to be fair division
[09:00] {magoo} no..but i recognize sound of chugging it lol
[09:01] {Threei} anyway, dptl knows what I am talking about
[09:01] {Threei} he will confirm when he wakes up
[09:01] {cosmo} hmm ....7
[09:03] {Threei} Paulson - Pledges to ban golden parachutes for executives while the government has equity in banks

[11:46] {GeoArb} his gut seems to be doing well :)
[11:46] {Threei} I'll say
[11:46] {Threei} 12 points in a jiffy
[11:46] {dino} gj
[11:46] {hawkfan4} oh, it is, need less cheeseburgers and beer or i won't fit under my desk

[11:48] {Threei} US TREASURY'S NASON: BANKS HAVE SIGNED NO AGREEMENTS TO LEND CAPITAL, NO GUARANTEES THE BANKS WILL LEND, HOWEVER PACKAGE WILL PUT BANKS IN BETTE POSITION
[11:48] {Chaeron} Bette? Midler?
[11:48] {Threei} do we want them to lend or do we want them to in better position?
[11:48] {Threei} I for one don't care about their position at all
[11:48] {GeoArb} "better position to lend"
[11:49] {Threei} that;s what yoga instructors for
[11:49] {GeoArb} downward dogs all of them
[11:49] {Threei} eqzaktly
[11:49] {Threei} with fleas too
[11:49] {hawkfan4} lol
[11:49] {Chaeron} (Vad doing Yoga.... heck, it's the apocalypse.....
[11:49] {GeoArb} lol
[11:49] {GeoArb} hawk you still in?
[11:49] {dino} now banks will issue bonuses
[11:50] {hawkfan4} partialled 19
[11:50] {GeoArb} nice !
[11:50] {hawkfan4} thx
[11:50] {GeoArb} so vad
[11:50] {GeoArb} when the NQ trading lesson?
[11:50] {dino} you guys are hot today, gj
[11:50] {hawkfan4} just don't want to give vad that heart attack
[11:51] {Threei} don't see what to do a lesson about
[11:51] {Threei} same thing
[11:51] {Threei} the only difference is,
[11:51] {Threei} stops have to be a bit more generous
[11:51] {GeoArb} true
[11:51] {Threei} it's very effective at gunning too tightly placed stops
[11:52] {GeoArb} but its a relief watchin one instrument vs many
[11:52] {hawkfan4} stop to 1413 for the rest
[11:52] {Threei} thta's an advantage that often turns into shortcoming
[11:52] {hawkfan4} out
[11:52] {GeoArb} i guess
[11:53] {hawkfan4} it is tricky, should have scalped the whole thing and re-entered, especially on a day like today
[11:54] {dino} tricky, tricky, tricy...beastyboyz
[11:56] {hawkfan4} they reall know how to sabotage your stop placement
[11:56] {Threei} yup, standard placement or trailing just under support will get taken out 9 out of 10
[11:57] {Threei} actaully, when I traded NQ regularly, I used this pattern
[11:57] {dino} imo, in this mkt, you have to widen stops
[11:57] {Threei} breakout forms, triggers, I let it go,
[11:57] {GeoArb} stops were the reason yo stopped vad?
[11:57] {Threei} wait for snapback just under support, enter there for immediate shot back up
[11:58] {dino} shots.....mucho tequilla last week
[11:58] {Threei} you read what I say Geo? :)
[11:58] {GeoArb} yes
[11:58] {hawkfan4} back in 1411 small, wide
[11:58] {GeoArb} entry on retest
[11:58] {hawkfan4} to steal dino's phrasing
[11:59] {Threei} I'd call it entry on shakeout
[11:59] {Threei} what we did on UAUA today btw
[11:59] {GeoArb} much better term
[11:59] {Threei} have a look at blog article called
[11:59] {Threei} stops: a deeper look
[12:00] {Threei} this is one of the ideas described there
[12:00] {GeoArb} ok will do
[12:00] {Threei} {--- one of those strange creatures who actually do what they teach
[12:00] {GeoArb} so why did ya stop trading NQ?
[12:00] {GeoArb} i thought it had lower comissions and better tax treatment
[12:01] {Threei} too much hassle to run two brokers
[12:01] {Threei} tax treatment is irrelevant for me
[12:01] {GeoArb} ?
[12:01] {Threei} different in Canada
[12:01] {GeoArb} ok
[12:03] {dino} wow didn't expect that, axys sm l .20

[12:32] {dino} nah
[12:34] {Threei} I'll never understand how gold trades
[12:34] {Threei} with all these trillions being pumped in, you would think gold should be through the roof
[12:34] {patience} funds having to sell holdings, ppt keeping it down, waiting for u.s. dollar to turn and drop
[12:35] {patience} i like scalping gold
[12:35] {Threei} GG trades well enough for scalping
[12:36] {dino} and up it is
[12:36] {GeoArb} which instrument patience?

[08:01] {Threei} hi :)
[08:01] {magoo} WOW he he
[08:01] {_xzap} morning Mag, Vad, Geo, et al
[08:01] {Threei} {--- still the fastest trigger in the wild west
[08:01] {Threei} zap :)
[08:03] {magoo} vad, u MUST have a theory here for today?what u thinking/
[08:03] {Threei} I think all the theories known to humankind are out of the window at this point
[08:04] {Threei} my attitude is kind of fatalistic:
[08:04] {Threei} it will be over when it will be over
[08:04] {Threei} I am grateful to be a day trader
[08:04] {Threei} to be highly liquid
[08:04] {Threei} to have freedom of staying away and limit my exposure to hunt and peck
[08:05] {Threei} which is what we do these days
[08:05] {Threei} while waiting for a time for bigger exposure to come
[08:05] {magoo} yes, but as a daytrader we need a working theme today..just a plan..it may not play out..but you are usually good with these
[08:05] {Threei} true but I come up with those only when drunk... and I am sober right now
[08:06] {magoo} big drop at open...bounce and crash into weekeend?
[08:06] {_xzap} early gap downs: CSIQ, ENER, SPWRA, RIMM,ORCL,QCOM, AMZN, AAUK, AAPL
[08:06] {Threei} can't tell for now mags... gotta observe the action
[08:06] {Threei} two currents clash here:
[08:07] {Threei} one is, extreme fear to hold into weekend, desire to keep exposure to a minimu,
[08:07] {Threei} and this one dictates your scenario
[08:07] {Threei} another is, fear to miss some extraordinaryu intervention undertaken by desperate authorities
[08:08] {_xzap} I have a feeling this will be another "black Friday" so to speak
[08:08] {Threei} who no doubt will burn the midnight oil throughout the weekend
[08:08] {Threei} so shorts will be just as scared
[08:08] {Threei} and some of money sitting on a sideline may decide to commit a little
[08:09] {Threei} which one wins?
[08:09] {Threei} TED spread looks beyond scary
[08:10] {_xzap} I was reading up on the LIBOR rate last night, what is it now Vad ?
[08:11] {Threei} gotta look it up... I don';t have direct quote
[08:11] {Threei} DELL hasn't made new low yesterday
[08:11] {Threei} NVDA barely did
[08:12] {_xzap} DELL new low right now, 12.92. Year low 13.23
[08:13] {Threei} GM
[08:13] {Threei} BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION 'IS NOT AN OPTION'
[08:13] {_xzap} The three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, hit 4.75% Thursday - its highest level since December 28. Libor stood at 2.81% one month ago.
[08:14] {_xzap} so if banks won't lend to each other overnight they sure aren't lending to anyone
[08:16] {_xzap} 10:25 GW to speak
[08:16] {_xzap} I predict a selloff at 10:26
[08:16] {magoo} btw, morn xzap geodp:)
[08:17] {Threei} I would start at 10:24
[08:17] {_xzap} morning Mag
[08:19] {_xzap} the TICK closed @ -1198 y'day
[08:23] {Threei} grabbed some DELL at 13 for possible scalp
[08:24] {_xzap} EBAY gap down, new year low 15.11
[08:25] {Threei} MS dipped under 10... mama mia
[08:25] {Threei} so... does the world end?
[08:25] {Threei} Raven...?
[08:27] {_xzap} this is hard to believe.. DRYS new year low right now 18.05. Year high was131.34
[08:28] {Threei} a lot of prices are of "is it a bad dream" kind
[08:28] {Threei} -400 DOW days become just another day at the office
[08:28] {Threei} only -600 makes you look
[08:28] {_xzap} it can't be too long before these stocks start getting at least nibbled at
[08:29] {Threei} i am sure they started
[08:29] {Threei} first little drips of accumulation had their place already
[08:29] {Raven} dunno ... my cable is out so I can't listen to the wisdom from the hyperventilating news people
[08:29] {magoo} wouldn't long mutual funds find value down here?
[08:29] {Threei} just not much commitment, little nibble here and there
[08:29] {Threei} BALTIC DRY BULK INDEX -11%; THE LOWEST SINCE 1985
[08:30] {Threei} ugh Raven
[08:30] {Raven} lol
[08:30] {Threei} you know we look up to you when it comes to the end of the world
[08:30] {Threei} UG TRADE BALANCE: -$59.1B V -$59.0BE
[08:30] {Threei} - Prior revised from -$62.2B to -$61.3B
[08:30] {Raven} hey ... this is just your average once-in-a-century market crash
[08:30] {Raven} that's all
[08:31] {Threei} SEPT IMPORT PRICE INDEX M/M:-3.0 % V -2.8%E; Y/Y: 14.5% V 12.2%E
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior MoM revised from -3.7% to -2.6%
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior YoY revised from 16.0% to 18.7 %
[08:31] {hawkfan4} morning
[08:31] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:32] {Threei} true Raven, but you have more experience with ends of the world
[08:32] {Threei} MS
[08:32] {Threei} CONFIRMS IMMATERIAL EXPOSURE TO LEHMAN
[08:32] {Threei} immaterial?
[08:33] {_xzap} hi hawk
[08:33] {_xzap} SPWRB gap down
[08:34] {Raven} the difference 3i ... this time ... is the existence of derivatives and the fact that the stock market is overshadowed by the international credit issues
[08:34] {_xzap} Japan's Nikkei dropped 9.6% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 7.2%.
[08:34] {Raven} so nobody has a clue what will happen
[08:34] {Threei} so, unlike other times, it IS the end?
[08:35] {Raven} no ... it'll just require MASSIVE federal intervention
[08:35] {Raven} worldwide
[08:36] {Threei} gosh... they already injected so much
[08:36] {Threei} and nothing seems to stop bleeding
[08:36] {_xzap} The long-term credit ratings of Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) are on review for a possible downgrade at Moody's, according to Reuters.com.
[08:37] {Raven} they obviously have not done enough yet
[08:37] {Threei} I am trying to understand this:
[08:37] {Threei} they haven't done enough yet
[08:37] {Threei} or
[08:38] {Threei} they mostly have, and it's just a lack of confidence and sheer panic that continues driving markets lower
[08:38] {Threei} I understand no one knows
[08:38] {Threei} just trying to get a feel
[08:38] {Raven} yes ... it is panic ... which is why more needs to be done and FAST
[08:39] {Raven} they can't keep farting around
[08:39] {_xzap} from what I understand, the infusion of $$ from the Fed isn't working YET because no real plan has been laid out and and implemented
[08:39] {Raven} exactly
[08:39] {_xzap} The biggest issue is see is TRUST
[08:40] {Raven} it'll take some time to develop a plan to buy the toxic assets
[08:40] {_xzap} there is no trust
[08:40] {Raven} so step in and recapitalize some banks ... NOW
[08:40] {_xzap} even though the Fed is throwing all this money into the mkt, people want to see it actually in action
[08:41] {_xzap} BTW, hi Raven, we haven't met
[08:41] {Raven} ACTION is the key word
[08:41] {Threei} MS 9
[08:42] {_xzap} another thing that will really help is to see some CEO's and executives in cuffs. Someone HAS to go to prison
[08:42] {Raven} well, good morning xzap :)
[08:42] {Threei} my first vote would be Fuld
[08:43] {Raven} lol ... at this point blame is not terribly important
[08:43] {Raven} and ... damn few of the guilty will suffer
[08:43] {_xzap} but somebody will go to prison before it's all over
[08:44] {Raven} somebody will ... but hundreds won't
[08:44] {Raven} thousands
[08:44] {Raven} ?
[08:44] {Raven} and nobody in Washington will suffer one whit
[08:45] {Threei} Mitsubishi would better hurry
[08:46] {Threei} MS seems to be on a birnk of repeating LEH fate
[08:49] {_xzap} coffee anyone [ ]}

[10:47] {Chaeron} he was short before he made the comment.....

[11:01] {_xzap} I don't drink or smoke and I need both

[11:05] {Threei} well, that was quite a shock
[11:05] {Threei} you got really lucky
[11:05] {_xzap} Very lucky
[11:05] {Threei} as for missing my calls... seemed to me it was the case for you whole wekk, lol
[11:05] {magoo} l rimm here ,15
[11:06] {Threei} if you followed them with just 100 shares, this week would have already paid for couple months of mebership at least
[11:06] {Threei} now, anyone knows what "wekk" is?
[11:07] {magoo} stopped
[11:07] {GeoArb} when the week is wrekked
[11:07] {Chaeron} lol
[11:07] {Threei} mags, I would stay away from RIMM/AAPL/BIDU kind right now
[11:07] {Threei} they are relatively easy only where we get a trend
[11:07] {Threei} and market is completely shapeless rifght now
[11:07] {hawkfan4} wekk. to do something you dont wany anyone else to see you do ...
[11:07] {GeoArb} i am watching ES
[11:08] {GeoArb} it seems to be jumping a few points easy

[11:09] {Threei} DELL 1:1
[11:09] {GeoArb} out half .21
[11:09] {Threei} feel free to cover in full or partial
[11:10] {Threei} really can't tell which is preferrable
[11:10] {Threei} erratic market, anything can happen any minute
[11:10] {Threei} so act according to your personal objectives and risk tolerance
[11:10] {Threei} now zap... did you take DELL short?
[11:11] {Threei} or it triggered while you still were sweating out that MS trade?
[11:11] {GeoArb} today's money is frameable truely
[11:11] {Threei} 1:2 DELL almost
[11:11] {Threei} today's and Monday's
[11:11] {GeoArb} yeah
[11:11] {Threei} 1:2 DELL wihtout almost
[11:11] {Threei} is it right grammar?
[11:12] {GeoArb} i bet there are a lot of brokers today who will have execution issues
[11:12] {Threei} no doubt
[11:12] {Threei} Laser handles these things incredibly graciously
[11:12] {dptl} ty dell +.17
[11:12] {Threei} :)
06[11:12] * Threei slaps Chaeron around a bit with a large trout
[11:12] {GeoArb} i think they are the only retail broker i know
[11:13] {GeoArb} who has nasdaq platinum cert
[11:13] {Chaeron} why?
[11:13] {Threei} yes
[11:13] {Threei} two reasons chaeron
[11:13] {Threei} first, because you apparently missed DELL short
[11:13] {Threei} and second, because I generally like slapping people
[11:13] {GeoArb} he missed?
[11:14] {Threei} that's what I am trying to find out
[11:14] {Threei} now, magoo calls me mean
[11:14] {Threei} but don't believe that
[11:14] {Chaeron} 1) I took at 13.35 short... got a call and had to run away for a sec and took a 0.16 loss
[11:14] {Threei} I am very mean
[11:14] {Chaeron} had to
[11:14] {Threei} .16?
[11:14] {Threei} I am lost
[11:14] {GeoArb} sheesh.... how did vad know
[11:15] {Threei} .16 is 13.51
[11:15] {Threei} it never went there
[11:15] {_xzap} no Vad, I missed DELL. Trying to compose myself
[11:15] {Chaeron} oh... sorry that was another trade. I lost 0.08
[11:15] {Threei} ok zap, for give me but I just have to do this
06[11:15] * Threei slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
[11:15] {Chaeron} 13.43 fill
[11:15] {_xzap} I knew that was coming !
06[11:15] * GeoArb is counting his money and thanking vadster
[11:15] {Threei} cut that phone cord
[11:16] {Chaeron} I know
[11:16] {Chaeron} not happy... had same thing on uaua
[11:17] {Threei} well, UAUA got eventually stopped fair and square
[11:17] {Chaeron} I feel better... thanks
[11:17] {Threei} but DELL delivered
[11:17] {Chaeron} I know... made it twice as bad
[11:19] {GeoArb} chaeron dcc
[11:19] {Threei} geo, what to know
[11:19] {Threei} chaeron is one of usually reporting
[11:19] {Threei} stock goes to 1:2, he is silent - I assume he missed
[11:19] {GeoArb} lol
[11:23] {Threei} ok, this was completely unreadable in DELL
[11:23] {GeoArb} wrd
[11:24] {Threei} I suspected .50 should serve as resistance for short but saw a downward move as quite limited and not worth the entry
[11:28] {GeoArb} market has become a little less volatile me thinks
[11:39] {Threei} feels like small upward move is coming
[11:39] {Threei} maybe good for a little scalp, hardly more
[11:39] {ese} what makes you feel that vad?
[11:39] {GeoArb} whose ese?
[11:39] {Threei} just a look of NQ chart
[11:40] {ese} esemde....my new computor cut my handle short for some reason
[11:40] {GeoArb} lol
[11:40] {GeoArb} just reinstall mirc and chose it again
[11:40] {GeoArb} it happenned to me in a laptop too
[11:41] {ese} naw........I like the short version ...everyone was using that before anyway
[11:41] {Threei} hehe
[11:41] {Threei} we tend to simplify things
[11:41] {Threei} ever seen anyone calling geo geoarb?
[11:41] {ese} now thats interesting geo
[11:41] {GeoArb} i was just thinking that
[11:41] {ese} nope
[11:41] {Threei} or hawk hawkan4?
[11:42] {GeoArb} uhhhu
[11:42] {GeoArb} but youre lord vader
[11:42] {Threei} hck, we shorted even 4 letter nicks... dptl?? :)
[11:42] {GeoArb} i even heard MR vad today
[11:42] {ese} he is when he's into vodka
[11:42] {Chaeron} heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy.......... essssssse.........
[11:43] {ese} CCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:43] {Threei} see NQ?
[11:43] {ese} hows it goin man?
[11:43] {Threei} small upward... was good for like 6-7 cents DELL
[11:43] {Threei} and right back down
[11:44] {ese} market feels tired to me..........
[11:44] {ese} can only draw so much blood from a stone
[11:44] {patience} we may be tired of relentless downdraft but margin clerks aren't
[11:44] {Threei} main question now is,
[11:45] {Threei} will we get this almost traditional now eod selloff
[11:45] {ese} probably right patience
[11:45] {magoo} one difference vad
[11:45] {Threei} or will market change its ways and kill those who become too complacent in following the recent pattern
[11:45] {magoo} we are down.,..not up
[11:45] {Threei} true mags
[11:45] {Threei} but huge upward thrust kind of canceled that
[11:46] {magoo} we are down 372 now
[11:46] {Threei} and yeah... margin clerks... ow many envelops they still have to slap a stamp on and drop in the mailbox...
[11:47] {GeoArb} i thought they called?
[11:47] {GeoArb} well i wouldnt know
[11:47] {Threei} e-mailed I'd guess?
[11:48] {_xzap} Short DRYS under 16.8 ?
[11:48] {Threei} it's 60 cents from there
[11:48] {_xzap} I know
[11:48] {Threei} so, it's impossible to answer without knowing HOW it gets there
[11:49] {Threei} imagine it dropping sharply into 16.80
[11:49] {Threei} in one big swoop
[11:49] {Threei} would ou shoet it?
[11:49] {_xzap} no
[11:49] {Threei} now,
[11:49] {Threei} if it slides slowly
[11:49] {Threei} consolidates a little
[11:49] {Threei} then breaks,
[11:49] {Threei} would you?
[11:49] {_xzap} yes
[11:49] {Threei} there you go
[11:50] {Threei} price alone is not the answer
[11:50] {_xzap} I try to look ahead and set some trend lines to watch
[11:50] {Threei} the way stock is trading is necessary to cmplete the picture

[13:15] {hawkfan4} could be nothing
[13:15] {_xzap} going at the ask
[13:16] {Threei} are you ready to buy the ask and find yourself down anywhere from 30 to 70 cents on the spread alone zap?

[13:25] {Threei} reminds me old joke of Soviet times, one from famous Armenian radio series
[13:25] {Threei} Armenian radio is asked,
[13:25] {Threei} whetehr it's tru that academic Ambartsumjan won a car in lottery
[13:26] {Threei} radio's answer:
[13:26] {Threei} first, it was not academic Ambartsumjan but agrotechnic Abramjan,
[13:26] {Threei} second, it was not a lottery but cards,
[13:26] {Threei} third, it was not a car but three roubles,
[13:26] {Threei} forth, he lost, not won
[13:26] {Threei} the rest is true
[13:27] {_xzap} lol
[13:27] {hawkfan4} :)
[13:27] {_xzap} I wonder how many people got shook out of ICE
[13:28] {_xzap} now it's building sup @ 68.5 Vad, res is 70.25, where do we get in ?
[13:29] {Threei} we don't
[13:30] {Threei} you chose to ignore my point about about impossibility to control risk on this stock?

[13:33] {Threei} you would have lost 10 points before you even finish reading the headline
[13:33] {Threei} zap... here is one comment that, if this is the only thing you take from us, will cost more than any other advice you ever hear
[13:33] {Threei} risk evaluation comes first. Profit evaluation comes second
[13:34] {_xzap} ok, makes sense
[13:34] {Threei} Amatuers get elated by profit potential. Pros ger retsrained by risk potential.
[13:34] {_xzap} that's why I came here, to learn from you
[13:35] {_xzap} now watch it roll over, do we short it ?

06[13:35] * Threei slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
06[13:35] * Threei slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
[13:35] {Threei} good day today... not only I am in the money, but I had an opportunity to slap not one, not two... but three people
[13:36] {_xzap} at least you could use fresh trout
[13:36] {Threei} one of them three times
[13:36] {Threei} what kind of fun would that be??
[13:36] {_xzap} gettin' pretty close to the 7's on the Dow
[13:37] {Threei} well, we were there in the morning
[13:37] {Threei} so, kind of developed tolerance for it :)
[13:37] {_xzap} I might change my bottom from 7500 to 7100
[13:38] {Threei} so far, it look eerily like yesterday
[13:38] {Threei} or before yesterday
[13:38] {Threei} preparing for big flush
[13:38] {Threei} if you believe in it, QID is your simplest way to trade it
[13:39] {_xzap} it's gonna be at least a week or more before the Fed can get that money in the system
[13:39] {_xzap} we can easily lose another 1000 in a week
[13:40] {_xzap} like playing the SD backwards Vad?
[13:40] {_xzap} SDS
[13:40] {Threei} same idea
[13:40] {Threei} ultrashort

[13:46] {Chaeron} beauty
[13:48] {Threei} BOHICA

[13:48] {Threei} ?
[13:49] {Chaeron} I only saw after you were half out... sorry :(

[13:49] {Chaeron} but *I'm* happy for you
[13:49] {GeoArb} me too
[13:49] {Threei} -615
[13:51] {Threei} VIX VOLATILITY INDEX MOVES ABOVE 75

[13:57] {Threei} mama mia
[13:58] {_xzap} G&S # 1 losing sector right now
[13:59] {Threei} what the heck happened to gold
[13:59] {Threei} silver, OK, that I understand
[13:59] {patience} euro banks selling to raise cash
[13:59] {Threei} but gold
[13:59] {patience} saudis are buying
[13:59] {Threei} bounce on lower volume, NQ
[14:00] {Threei} watch if new wave of acceleerating selling hits
[14:00] {Threei} QID will be good for another point at least
[14:02] {Threei} anyone went for 91?
[14:03] {_xzap} i wanted to but TRIN fell back
[14:04] {hawkfan4} playing the nq, scalping
[14:04] {Threei} same thing...
[14:04] {Threei} you know... "we have tockets to, umm, Ballbreaker"
[14:04] {Threei} "what?? maybe Nutcracker??"
[14:05] {Threei} "yeah... same thing, same thing"
[14:05] {hawkfan4} lol, definitely funnier after i figured out what "tockets" was :)
[14:05] {Threei} oh, this is simple... look at the letters around mistyped one...
[14:06] {_xzap} Now Vad I know you don't use indicators, but my indicators say the QID is oversold and building sup @ 89.50
[14:06] {Threei} to figure out the substitute :)
[14:06] {Threei} lost it fast
[14:06] {_xzap} won't this be a good bounce when the TRIN rises
[14:06] {Threei} zap, QID is not really independently traded thing
[14:07] {Threei} look at it
[14:07] {Threei} one buck under support you just mentionesd
[14:07] {Threei} I mean buck and half
[14:07] {_xzap} that's why I wait for a few candles to build sup
[14:07] {Threei} QID is simply market follower in reverse
[14:10] {Threei} LEHMAN CDS AUCTION RESULTS: $0.08625/DOLLAR V $0.0975 PRIOR
[14:10] {Threei} is it 8 cents for dolar?
[14:10] {_xzap} that's how I read it
[14:11] {Threei} yeah... I just can't believe I read it rigfht :)

[14:17] {Threei} [13:38] {Threei} so far, it look eerily like yesterday
[14:17] {Threei} [13:38] {Threei} or before yesterday
[14:17] {Threei} [13:38] {Threei} preparing for big flush
[14:17] {Threei} [13:38] {Threei} if you believe in it, QID is your simplest way to trade it
[14:18] {hawkfan4} you watching WB vad?
[14:18] {Threei} I think I better stay away from it
[14:19] {Threei} considering its werid situation between C and WFC
[14:19] {hawkfan4} ah, gotcha, thx
[14:19] {Threei} I don't understand even why it trades at all

[14:20] {Threei} withdraw?
[14:20] {GeoArb} from nego
[14:20] {Threei} last I heard they divide the carcass
[14:20] {Threei} and discuss what parts for what cost go to whom
[14:20] {Threei} maybe I missed some development
[14:20] {magoo} vad..my usual question
[14:21] {GeoArb} nope
[14:21] {Threei} too soon mags
[14:21] {hawkfan4} 09-Oct-08 22:02 ET In Play After Hours Summary: WB +31% (Citi confirms the co ended negotiations with Wells Fargo on Wachovia Transaction

[14:37] {GeoArb} 11:35] {Threei} hmmm... I am
[14:37] {GeoArb} [11:35] {Threei} but then again, I followed all my calls

[14:38] {Threei} even with those Onix... winning calls cover them with a lot of overhead
[14:38] {_xzap} LEAP losing whole number
[14:39] {Onix} just wish i could trade all day already ... have this other job to take care of :)
[14:42] {Threei} NQ break of 1200 should serve as final signal for another eod flush
[14:42] {Onix} and taking stops still present a challenge that MUST be overcome!
[14:43] {peterg} Onix, I understand your sentiment, but sometimes it is nice to have the day job to go to--refreshing, different, and somewhat reliable.
[14:43] {_xzap} I sold my business to day trade full time
[14:44] {Onix} fortunately, my day-job is totally reliable, but with trading, i still have a LONGGGG way to go!
[14:44] {GeoArb} i i share the stop pain onix

[14:44] {GeoArb} as mechanical works better for me
[14:45] {peterg} works well?
[14:45] {GeoArb} sometimes i hesitate to punch out

[15:39] {laserdave1} ya i said today might be biggest mover ever off of bottom in history of trading
[15:39] {Threei} you know where to find us when you decide we offer valuable education, zap
[15:40] {_xzap} I thought it was a 60 day free trial
[15:40] {Threei} uhhu
[15:40] {_xzap} or until the Dow was at 10000
06[15:40] * GeoArb want to sign up for that too
[15:40] {Threei} I may be modest... but not self-denigrating to such degree
[15:40] {_xzap} lol
[15:40] {Threei} look at selling now
[15:41] {_xzap} we still have 290 mins
[15:41] {Threei} timely wqarning to withold longs?

[15:42] {_xzap} QID

[15:44] {Threei} ADBE is up 40 cents from the moment I said up
[15:44] {Threei} better trade than stare at hammers :)
[15:45] {_xzap} I don't like to trade after 3:30
[15:45] {Threei} matter of taste... I don't like looking at hammers, drills or saws at any time of the day... call me not very handy :(
[15:45] {_xzap} lol
[15:46] {dptl} lol
[15:46] {hawkfan4} if i had a hammer, i'd hammer in the morning...
[15:46] {Threei} and about 60 days trial... zap, don't tell me calls you saw here during this week are not worth 300 a month
[15:47] {Threei} you hate your neighbors so much hawk?
[15:47] {_xzap} Yes they are Vad, our styles are so different tho
[15:47] {_xzap} but I will probably give you a month's try at least :)

[15:48] {Threei} if does, why do you need anyone's help at all
[15:48] {_xzap} for conformation
[15:49] {Threei} what better confirmation than profits
[15:49] {Threei} that's the confirmation from the market itself
[15:49] {_xzap} I started studying day trading in Jauary and made some VERY costly mistakes, I'm very gun shy
[15:49] {Threei} so it doesn't make money
[15:49] {Threei} sorry but you contradict yourself :)
[15:49] {_xzap} I haven't made the same mistakes
[15:50] {_xzap} I'm just not making what I want
[15:50] {_xzap} so I have searched the net over for a good trading room to help me build my confidence
[15:51] {Threei} 10 min lweft... I'll take any more trades only if something extraordinary happens
[15:51] {Threei} and in today's terms extraordinary woluld mean probably 1500 points drop

[08:01] {_xzap} Canadian Solar Signs 2009 Sales Contract With Systaic Of Germany And Announces European Sales To Date
[08:01] {_xzap} hi magoo
[08:02] {magoo} xzap:)
[08:14] {Threei} PREVIEW: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS DATA DUE OUT AT 8:30 AM ET

[08:14] {Threei} - Continuing claims seen at 3.608M v prior 3.591M.
[08:14] {Threei} good morning
[08:15] {_xzap} howdy Vad
[08:15] {magoo} morn vad. was there any news for that ENER sell off at bell?
[08:16] {Threei} don't see anything
[08:20] {_xzap} 52 week lows, Vol }1M, Y'day's vol 150% above avg, AAPL, ADBE,AMZN,BUCY,CENX,MSFT,INTC,ORCL,DRYS,JOYG

[08:25] {Threei} RANIAN OIL MIN CONFIRMS OPEC MEETING IN NOV
[08:26] {Threei} they are so concerned with falling oil price... as if under 100 is unacceptable low
[08:26] {Threei} many years it traded way lower and they still were the richest nations
[08:27] {Threei} now anything under 100 is too low for them
[08:28] {_xzap} Vad, do you think Q3 earnings misses (I'm assuming a lot miss) are already priced in the mkt?
[08:29] {Threei} on a large scale, I think it either is, or it just won't be a major driving factor
[08:29] {Threei} on company by company basis it could matter
[08:29] {Threei} overall, greater concerns should overtake
[08:30] {Threei} everyone knows economy is slow
[08:30] {Threei} so low earnings won't be of any surprise
[08:30] {Threei} INITIAL CLIAMS: 478K V 475KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 3.659M V 3.608ME
[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Initial Jobless Claims from 497K to 498K

[09:21] {Threei} yes
[09:21] {GeoArb} ok
[09:23] {_xzap} BBBY gap up
[09:24] {Threei} this one looks weird to me
[09:24] {Threei} I wouldn't expect retail sector to strengthen just yet
[09:25] {_xzap} I thought that was weird also
[09:25] {Threei} closed 27.55... look at the spread premarket
[09:25] {_xzap} good gosh
[09:26] {Threei} almost like someone hit offers not paying attention to handle
[09:26] {_xzap} ENER is up $2,32

[09:30] {Threei} watching ADBE for pullback and long entry

[09:34] {GeoArb} bit choppy
[09:35] {magoo} really missed et

[09:46] {magoo} adbe or mkt?
[09:46] {Threei} either
[09:46] {Threei} OK, a bit better now
[09:46] {magoo} pretty volatile
[09:46] {Threei} watch RIMM around 61
[09:48] {Threei} ADBE .40 break, half lot
[09:48] {Threei} stop under .20
[09:49] {peterg} morning folks
[09:49] {Threei} peter :)
[09:50] {magoo} peterg:)
[09:50] {_xzap} selling pressure on DRYS
[09:50] {_xzap} hi peter
[09:51] {peterg} z!
[09:52] {_xzap} not seeing normal pullbacks, let's see what 10 - 10:15 brings
[09:54] {Threei} need NQ to break 1370 for the next leg up
[09:55] {_xzap} CSIQ meeting res @ 14.2
[09:55] {Threei} no worky ADBE
[09:56] {_xzap} ADBE coming back to pivot
[09:59] {Threei} MS got beaten to the pulp
[09:59] {Threei} tempted to short it
[09:59] {dptl} short ban expired...but in some stock in laser still give me error code
[09:59] {Threei} MS shortable
[10:00] {Threei} a bit too jumpy, hard to find entry
[10:00] {dptl} ohh...sorry....never mind last post:)
[10:01] {Threei} if you went for breakdown cover half here
[10:01] {Threei} 14 is coming it seems
[10:02] {_xzap} bid ADBE @ 29.9
[10:03] {_xzap} in 29.9
[10:04] {dptl} flex?
[10:05] {Threei} chart is right, but it's a slow one
[10:05] {Threei} can torture you for hours
[10:05] {_xzap} what isn't slow *LOL*
[10:05] {dptl} ok ty
[10:05] {Threei} MS isn't {G}
[10:07] {Threei} if you are willing to give it chance, 5.42 long with .35 stop
[10:07] {Threei} if loses .35, let it pull back deper
[10:07] {dptl} that was a plan
[10:09] {Threei} NTAP
[10:09] {Threei} ugh... jumped while I typed
[10:10] {Threei} pullback into .80 -.85 area
[10:11] {Threei} if no pullback and market jumps agian, .95 long with .84 stop
[10:13] {_xzap} Out ADBE 30.30 + .40
[10:13] {Threei} good one
[10:13] {_xzap} thx Vad
[10:16] {_xzap} watching QSFT for 11.4
[10:16] {Threei} stop NTAP .79 who got it on pullback
[10:16] {Threei} you actually have a scalp here
[10:16] {Threei} but I'd prefer to try and hold it for break
[10:17] {Threei} risk is so miniscule
[10:17] {Threei} or let's partial
[10:17] {Threei} half out .97
[10:18] {Threei} now think of NTAP in these terms:
[10:18] {Threei} your risk is afew cents here,
[10:19] {Threei} if market stages this nice slow confident climb here, NTAP can go quite nicely
[10:19] {Threei} 14.50 is not out of question
[10:19] {Threei} so, either keep your stop under .80 and forget about second half
[10:19] {Threei} or just take profit on jump after 14 break
[10:19] {Threei} personal choice really
[10:24] {Threei} GM... sheesh
[10:25] {Threei} are we about to lose our automaking industry?
[10:26] {peterg} cant short it
[10:27] {peterg} just as well
[10:27] {Threei} probably not all bans are flashed out of the system yet
[10:29] {Threei} Short Setup: IBM 92 breakl small shares
[10:30] {Threei} feel free to cover as you see fit
[10:30] {Threei} easy and quick 40 something cents
[10:33] {_xzap} watching DRYS for 20.8 - 21, at 76% Fib retrace now
[10:33] {Threei} full buck now IBM
[10:33] {Threei} not watching anymore, anyone who took it is too deep in the money to need any further comments
[10:34] {Threei} and if you all ignored it, tell me so I just go sleep
[10:36] {Threei} Long Setup: ADBE 30.03
[10:36] {Threei} srtop under 29.90
[10:37] {Threei} half out ADBE .20
[10:37] {Threei} scalpers are out in full
[10:38] {Threei} stop to .95
[10:39] {Threei} am I alone in here?

[10:40] {Onix} no
[10:40] {Onix} in ADBE @ .06
[10:40] {Threei} never have I seen such grave silence greeting one profitable call after another
[10:40] {peterg} in and out abde for a penny
[10:40] {GeoArb} geo{- trying to be strong and silent
[10:40] {peterg} adbe

[10:41] {Threei} how come you take a penny?
[10:41] {peterg} in at .12, out going down at .13
[10:41] {_xzap} watching CSIQ for 13.3
[10:41] {GeoArb} wow late peterg
[10:41] {peterg} slow reflexes?
[10:41] {peterg} too late huh
[10:42] {Threei} .12 vs .03 trigger? that's a lot of chasing
[10:42] {GeoArb} well umm i didnt do better than .06
[10:42] {peterg} buy limit?
[10:42] {Threei} limit a few cents above market
[10:42] {Threei} I'd say .06 - .07 limt if trigger is .03
[10:42] {peterg} when you publish the move, it has already moved up
[10:43] {_xzap} DRYS reaching pivot
[10:43] {Threei} ADBE was .02 at the moment
[10:43] {Threei} if you miss it, wait for pullback
[10:43] {Threei} but chasing that high?
[10:43] {peterg} just shooting at it with mkt order
[10:43] {Threei} no, not on volatile stock
[10:43] {peterg} determined to get on board can be mistake i guess
[10:43] {Threei} market order is fine for a thick slow ones
[10:43] {Threei} with a lot of liquidity
[10:44] {peterg} this is why I am trying to figure out keys
[10:44] {peterg} because fiddling around wi level 11 mouse key change and setting price too clumsy
[10:44] {peterg} time consuming
[10:44] {peterg} miss moves
[10:44] {Threei} even with mouse... just click on level 2 couple levels above your trigger
[10:44] {Threei} and lick limit buy
[10:44] {Threei} kclick
[10:44] {Threei} sheesh

[10:47] {Threei} so, ADBE is .79 right now
[10:47] {peterg} i prefer vowel free krkt
[10:47] {Threei} let's assume you want to buy it
[10:48] {peterg} ok
[10:48] {Threei} bad example, moves too fast
[10:48] {peterg} right
[10:48] {GeoArb} qqqq
[10:48] {Threei} FRE
[10:48] {Threei} 1.10
[10:48] {Threei} you want it here
[10:48] {Threei} you click 1.12
[10:48] {_xzap} canceld buy for DRYS
[10:48] {Threei} and click Limit Buy
[10:49] {peterg} yahhhh?
[10:49] {Threei} ?
[10:49] {peterg} i dont want to buy it
[10:49] {Threei} no
[10:49] {Threei} it's an example :)
[10:49] {peterg} ck
[10:49] {Threei} if a stock waits for you, great
[10:49] {peterg} so ia am set to hit buy with a limit of 1.12
[10:49] {Threei} you'll get your 1.10
[10:50] {Threei} if it tick fast,
[10:50] {Threei} you may get 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12
[10:50] {Threei} possibly in partials
[10:50] {peterg} but I have a shot at getting it if it moves up fast, right?
[10:50] {Threei} but if it got away completely
[10:50] {peterg} but i dont get stock if goes up too much
[10:50] {Threei} your order will post 1.12 bid
[10:50] {Threei} without chasing it into too sharp spike
[10:50] {GeoArb} ahhh that i didnt know
[10:51] {Threei} Now, if you still want it on a pullback, leave your bid there
[10:51] {peterg} feels good to have training wheels on again.

[10:55] {Threei} there are a few strategies for different routes,
[10:56] {peterg} mmmm?

[10:56] {Threei} to see if there is something we cluld use
[10:56] {GeoArb} ??

[11:55] {Threei} another is
[11:55] {magoo} if we had finished strong
[11:55] {magoo} today would have rocked
[11:55] {Threei} I see this situation as accumulation by smart money starting
[11:55] {_xzap} Geo, the $USQ/TICK ?
[11:56] {Threei} and on early stages of accumulation smart money is not interested in sending prices skyrocketing
[11:56] {Threei} it's only happy to keep prices down if if it takes some selling
[11:56] {magoo} are we smart $$ he he
[11:56] {magoo} or just smart *sses?
[11:57] {_xzap} RIMM well below dt line

[13:47] {Threei} what do I miss? :)
[13:49] {_xzap} I can't trade this crazy mess
[13:50] {Threei} come on... look at magoo and trade BIDU with him
[13:50] {Threei} but don't be a wuss he is
[13:50] {Threei} take couple thousand shares

[13:50] {_xzap} uh hu
06[13:50] * Threei is hiding under the rock
[13:50] {magoo} that does itttttttttt....................
06[13:50] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:50] {Threei} but I am under the rock
06[13:50] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:50] {magoo} now?
[13:51] {Threei} but I am under the rock
[13:51] {GeoArb} CRUSH THE ROCK
06[13:51] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:51] {magoo} now
[13:51] {Threei} sigh
[13:51] {magoo} yuor like wack a mole
[13:51] {_xzap} let's watch AAPL for a bounce
[13:51] {Threei} PERUVIAN STOCK MARKET HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN HALTED DUE TO FALL OF MORE THAN 6.5%
[13:51] {Threei} what's with whole world being hatled twice a day
[13:52] {_xzap} slower collapse
[13:52] {_xzap} I say pull the circuit breakers. let it drop and get it over with
[13:52] {magoo} if IF the mkt turns up HARD{risky disclaimer here} 100 sh bidu goog cme could mak big points...i hate CME tho
[13:52] {Threei} AAPL, I'll get interested closer to 91
[13:53] {Threei} possibly under
[13:53] {_xzap} I'm looking at 90.6
[13:53] {magoo} it all depends if we ever get that psycho launch up everyone wants..1000 points
[13:54] {_xzap} not me Mag, I wanna see 1000 down
[13:54] {magoo} sadist he he
[13:55] {_xzap} missed AAPL Vad
[13:55] {magoo} l goog here
[13:55] {magoo} 338.25
[13:56] {Threei} these sudden apikes come out of nowhere
[13:56] {_xzap} I've always found it hard to trade when the mkts are out of synch like today
[13:56] {Threei} no way to foresee them
[13:57] {_xzap} Dow & S&P down, NAS up
[13:57] {_xzap} these spikes are MM's taking people's $$
[13:58] {Threei} hmmm
[13:58] {Threei} that's questionable
[13:58] {_xzap} look at AAPL
[13:58] {_xzap} 1 point run and now pullback
[13:58] {Threei} this would assume that MMs can simply assign prices
[13:58] {Threei} they can't
[13:59] {Threei} price change requires actual trades
[13:59] {_xzap} but they can sit on mkt orders . korect?
[13:59] {Threei} if you imply that all MMs somehow agreed to hit offers at the same time...
[13:59] {Threei} so what?
[13:59] {Threei} how does it explain such spikes?
[14:00] {Threei} don't buy into these conspiracy theories
[14:00] {Threei} how many MMs are there?
[14:00] {_xzap} i dunno
[14:00] {Threei} not 3 and not 10
[14:00] {Chaeron} (let's see... there's red, green, blue... :) sorry
[14:00] {_xzap} LMFAO !

[14:01] {Chaeron} gr8 mags
[14:01] {patience} very nice magoo :)
[14:01] {GeoArb} nice
[14:01] {magoo} its what i do
[14:01] {Threei} you think it's really possible they all quickly phoned each other and agreed to do something coordinated at the same time?
[14:01] {GeoArb} heheh vad
[14:01] {Chaeron} they don't even like each other
[14:01] {Threei} it's a dog eat dog
[14:01] {GeoArb} yeah !!!
[14:02] {GeoArb} ask chaer he was one of em
[14:02] {Threei} 2 of them may conspire
[14:02] {Chaeron} Vad showed me the light
[14:02] {Threei} for some particular case
[14:02] {Threei} 20? 200?
[14:02] {Threei} come on :)
[14:02] {_xzap} ok, is it smart money easing in?
[14:02] {Threei} if that possible then goverment organized 9/11
[14:02] {Chaeron} and if 2 conspire, one of them is going to try to screw the other on the deal they agreed on
[14:02] {magoo} out 340.03
[14:03] {_xzap} oh hell no !
[14:03] {Threei} and US never go to the moon,
[14:03] {_xzap} no no no
[14:03] {Threei} it's all Hollywood production
[14:03] {Threei} exactly chaeron :)
[14:03] {_xzap} I don't subscribe to conspiracies
[14:03] {Chaeron} cartels same way
[14:03] {Threei} MMs do make money on oredinary people most of the time, sure
[14:04] {magoo} i do..dino messed up my dsl on tues right vad
[14:04] {Threei} but not because they possess these p;owers to manipulate prices or can conspire to do so
[14:04] {_xzap} BUCY looks good at 32.2
[14:04] {Threei} lol mags
[14:05] {magoo} the prob we are having is everyone BUT everyone wants and EXPECTS a huge rally
[14:05] {magoo} mkt can not allow this to happen..needs few on board
[14:06] {magoo} scary thought is we need to crash again FIRST
[14:06] {magoo} god forbid
[14:06] {magoo} lions and tigers and BEARS OH MY
[14:06] {_xzap} now BUCY is rolling over
[14:07] {_xzap} we have to have a BIG sell off Mag
[14:07] {magoo} scary thought xzazp
[14:07] {_xzap} to shake the few apples left off the tree
[14:07] {magoo} hey..u joining the room bro?
[14:07] {magoo} your pretty good
[14:08] {_xzap} I might but I might wait til there's more vol
[14:08] {magoo} come on..u dont think vads made you the $250 month fee in one day?
[14:08] {GeoArb} is it 250?
[14:08] {_xzap} some days I think I know what I'm doing but wanted someone like Vad to confirm
[14:08] {GeoArb} darn
[14:09] {magoo} well..for me he surcharges 350
[14:09] {GeoArb} whats it now vad?
[14:09] {magoo} on probation from nesi days
[14:09] {_xzap} I thought there was a 1 year free trial
[14:09] {GeoArb} nesi?
[14:09] {magoo} never mind
[14:10] {magoo} i been here awhile
[14:10] {GeoArb} :)
[14:10] {_xzap} BUCY trying again
[14:10] {hawkfan4} lol mags
[14:12] {_xzap} Vad, you like BUCY at 32.2 ?
[14:12] {Threei} only if market resumes upward
[14:12] {_xzap} that could happen any second
[14:13] {Threei} watch how it's holding while market's downticking
[14:13] {_xzap} financials losing sup
[14:14] {Threei} not bad overall
[14:14] {Threei} a bit too volatile but it's stronger than market
[14:14] {Threei} I wouldn't wait for .21
[14:14] {Threei} I'd try to get it aggressively as soon as market turns
[14:14] {Threei} and go for a scalp
[14:15] {Threei} there you go
[14:15] {Threei} .95 in
[14:15] {Threei} offer for a scalp
[14:16] {Threei} much more reliable than breaks in this environment
[14:16] {_xzap} I just used to trading breaks
[14:16] {_xzap} never tried scalping
[14:16] {Threei} different methods for different markets
[14:17] {Threei} pure breaks rarely work in jerky markets
[14:17] {Threei} out .11 and .12
[14:17] {_xzap} but man when this mkt turns, the breaks will be long runs
[14:17] {Threei} yeah but we trade today
[14:17] {Threei} and today this kind of entries works better
[14:17] {Threei} roll with punches
[14:18] {_xzap} understood
[14:18] {_xzap} short JRCC ?
[14:19] {Threei} it's not at the breakdown point
[14:19] {Threei} it would be a chasing here
[14:19] {Threei} let it bounce or consolidate
[14:20] {_xzap} it's been consolidating for quite a while
[14:20] {magoo} my god..shorts are back..cme now avail short..and its crushed
[14:20] {magoo} u think correlation vad
[14:20] {Threei} yes but it was consolidating higher
[14:20] {Threei} not here
[14:20] {Threei} here it's already on the run
[14:20] {Threei} most harmful thing you can do in jerky market is chase
[14:21] {Threei} because of sharp snpabacksa
[14:26] {_xzap} Do you read candles as part of your decision Vad ?
[14:26] {magoo} aapl vad?

Oct 08 2008

Session Time: Wed Oct 08 00:00:00 2008

[07:50] {magoo} vad, any news goog bidu aapl rimm??
[07:51] {_xzap} morning all
[07:53] {magoo} morn xzap
[07:54] {_xzap} The only news I saw on RIMM was from y'day magoo
[07:55] {Threei} zap :)
[07:55] {Threei} FED'S PLOSSER: RATE CUTS HAVE A "QUITE LIMITED" ABILITY TO NETRALIZE SYSTEMIC SHOCKS, RATE POLICY SHOULD BE AIMED AT CONTROLLING MEDIUM-TERM INFLATION
[07:55] {Threei} - Regulatory changes should not impare the Fed's independence, Fed must protect it independence
[07:55] {Threei} - Should "think twice" about broadening the Fed's supervisory role, worried by the Fed's balance sheet expansion.
[07:55] {Threei} - The Fed cannot eliminated all market instability, its main role is price stability.
[07:55] {Threei} - We should avoid unrealistic expecations for Fed intervention, calls on the Fed to deliniate clear boundaries for intervention. A systematic approach is needed for emergency lending.
[07:55] {Threei} - "Our preference" is to let market forces restructure financial services, notes that modern financial systems cannot be immune to all types of stress.
[07:57] {Threei} *CENTRAL BANKS ISSUE JOINT STATEMENT ON CO-ORDINATED RATE CUTS
[07:57] {Threei} - Throughout the current financial crisis, central banks have engaged in continuous close consultation and have cooperated in unprecedented joint actions such as the provision of liquidity to reduce strains in financial markets.
[07:57] {Threei} - Inflationary pressures have started to moderate in a number of countries, partly reflecting a marked decline in energy and other commodity prices. Inflation expectations are diminishing and remain anchored to price stability. The recent intensification of the financial crisis has augmented the downside risks to growth and thus has diminished further the upside risks to price stability.
[07:58] {Threei} - Some easing of global monetary conditions is therefore warranted. Accordingly, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, Sveriges Riksbank, and the Swiss National Bank are today announcing reductions in policy interest rates. The Bank of Japan expresses its strong support of these policy actions.
[08:01] {Threei} lol, I forgot to post cut ityself
[08:01] {Threei} *CENTRAL BANKS ENACT COORDINATED INTEREST RATE CUTS; FED, ECB, SNB, BOE, RIKSBANK BANK OF CANADA, CHINA PARTICAPATE
[08:01] {Threei} -FED cuts base rate by 50bps to 1.5%
[08:01] {Threei} -ECB cuts base rate by 50bps to 3.75%
[08:01] {Threei} -SNB cuts base rates by 50bps to 2.5%
[08:01] {Threei} -BOE cuts rates 50bps to 4.5%
[08:01] {Threei} -Swedish Riksbank cuts base rate by 50bps to 4.25%
[08:01] {Threei} -Bank of Canada cuts base rate by 50 bps to 2.5%
[08:01] {Threei} -Bank of China cuts base rate 27bps to 6.93%
[08:01] {Threei} quite extraordinary measure
[08:02] {_xzap} what happens when the rate gets to 0 ?
[08:02] {Threei} it won't... sellers will run out of shares to sell sooner than that :)
[08:02] {patience} the gold buried in my back garden will be worth more than my property
[08:03] {_xzap} I wish I had bot some bullion in the 500 area
[08:03] {_xzap} I did buy silver bullion at $11
[08:04] {patience} i am disappointed with how silver has been performing lately
[08:04] {_xzap} me too patience
[08:04] {patience} gold up in spot market this morning
[08:04] {_xzap} I started to sell when it was near $20 but thought it was going to $50
[08:05] {patience} i bought silver wheaten options, sigh
[08:05] {_xzap} I used to trade SLW & GG a lot
[08:06] {patience} me to, i still am holding barrick, goldcorp, kinross
[08:06] {_xzap} oh yeah, I made some $$ on KGC
[08:06] {patience} i'm nervous of kinross with their russian holding
[08:06] {Threei} I watch SLW now and then
[08:07] {Threei} quite a wierdo
[08:07] {_xzap} here's my gold chart: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$GOLD&p=D&yr=1&mn=6&dy=0&id=p04450128489&a=99840231
[08:08] {patience} i've been trading gold for awhile, too much manipulation in it
[08:09] {_xzap} i quit trading gold when it got too violent in the swings
[08:10] {patience} i'm a goldbug....pretty much sums it up, blind faith
[08:10] {_xzap} LOL, #1 gap up right now is GOLD
[08:10] {_xzap} do you read Sinclair patience ?
[08:13] {patience} not really, just went and looked at it
[08:15] {_xzap} I rode Century Mining down from $1 and change to .40 cmm.v
[08:15] {patience} ouch
[08:15] {Threei} (CA) SEPT HOUSING STARTS: 217.6 K V 205.0KE
[08:15] {_xzap} yeah, it had a lot of promise or so I thought
[08:15] {Threei} crisis? what crisis?
[08:16] {patience} i traded junior miners 2 years ago and then switched into the big producers
[08:16] {patience} i prefer to scalp than to hold
[08:16] {_xzap} CMM was a spec.
[08:17] {_xzap} I've totally switched to day trading, I won't hold anything overnight
[08:18] {patience} vad taught me to scalp and now i hold minutes to days...but not long
[08:18] {_xzap} I started studying day trading this past January. So far I'm still at a net loss but I'm getting there
[08:19] {patience} managing risk.....learn from vad
[08:20] {_xzap} my mentor taught me how to play the mgr's (morning gap reversals). I still have problems with entry and exit
[08:20] {patience} platform or executing?
[08:20] {_xzap} executing
[08:21] {patience} ok, vad...over to you
[08:21] {_xzap} lol
[08:21] {Threei} I don't use his platform :)
[08:21] {Threei} won't work as a cop-out?
[08:22] {patience} ummm, no
[08:22] {Threei} I knew it
[08:23] {Threei} have you paper traded the method, zap?
[08:23] {_xzap} I've been looking for a room like this with a seasoned leader but some vol would be nice
[08:23] {_xzap} yes I have Vad
[08:23] {Threei} works?
[08:23] {_xzap} i still paper trade now some days
[08:23] {_xzap} yes on paper it works
[08:23] {Threei} I mean that particular method
[08:23] {_xzap} yes
[08:23] {Threei} what's your usual lot?
[08:23] {_xzap} 200 - 500
[08:24] {Threei} so, how about starting it with 50?
[08:24] {Threei} not much more psychological pressure than paper
[08:24] {_xzap} I have traded some 100 lots
[08:24] {Threei} build confidence in method, raise to 100 when it works consisntly for a week or two
[08:24] {_xzap} ok
[08:24] {Threei} raise to 200 when it works consistently over next couple weeks
[08:25] {Threei} increase size gradually to avoid sudden pressure
[08:25] {Threei} on your own comfort
[08:25] {_xzap} under normal mkt conditions, the handful of stocks I trade will easily move 2 -3 points on a reversal
[08:25] {Threei} ease in so to speak
[08:25] {Threei} what do you mean by "some vol would be nice"?
[08:26] {_xzap} vol in the market so we could get normal runs
[08:26] {Threei} well, it will return
[08:26] {Threei} soon enough
[08:26] {Threei} btw, unless there is an extention, short ban expires this evening
[08:26] {_xzap} i try not to trade if the vol on a stock is less than 10k a minute
[08:27] {Threei} that alone should add volume
[08:28] {_xzap} I was taught top down trading, Market, sector, futures, tick & trin but right now the mky is so thin
[08:29] {_xzap} BTW patience, GOLD & AAUK are 2 top gap ups, gold is gonna be in play today I guess
[08:30] {patience} would be nice, i would so love some momo
[08:30] {_xzap} I just scan for stocks } $10 so there's probaly a lot more
[08:33] {Threei} CELL
[08:33] {Threei} SIGNS AGREEMENT IN SOUTH AGRICA WITH SAMSUNG
[08:36] {_xzap} patience } GOLD gap up $5.73
[08:36] {_xzap} anyone want coffee [ ]}
[08:37] {cosmo} add a shot
[08:38] {cosmo} tequila pls
[08:39] {_xzap} the futures have turned
[08:39] {Threei} NQ went from 30+ to red
[08:40] {Threei} see why I am hesitant to form premature opinions today mags?
[08:40] {Threei} central banks around the world take unprecendented measures and signal that they will do whatever it takes to turn this situation around,
[08:41] {Threei} yet market drops.
[08:41] {Threei} It tells me, all their measures will work of course, there is no doubt,
[08:41] {Threei} but market will turn on its own terms
[08:41] {Threei} when it gets rid of early longs,
[08:41] {patience} with as few onboard as possible
[08:41] {Threei} of those who stubbornly hold
[08:41] {Threei} right
[08:42] {Threei} when all the hope lost,
[08:42] {Threei} and when notion of "this sucker is going down" becomes widely accepted.
[08:42] {Threei} There is too much money to be made when it happens,
[08:43] {Threei} no need to cut our fingers trying to get exact moment now.
[08:47] {hawkfan4} "this sucker is going down"
[08:47] {Threei} lol
[08:47] {Threei} meanwhile NQ -26
[08:47] {Threei} over 50 points reversal
[08:47] {hawkfan4} relentless sellers
[08:48] {Threei} truly amazing
[08:49] {Threei} look at BAC
[08:49] {Threei} so, when they bought countrywide and merryl... what exactly did they buy?
[08:50] {peterg} morning, back in hr
[08:50] {Threei} hi peter
[08:50] {hawkfan4} crushed. finnies could get sold today ahead of the short ban ending. then the short ban will end, and they'll get sold again
[08:50] {Threei} lol
[08:51] {Threei} so they get sold no matter what?
[08:51] {Threei} how about ban on selling - will they get sold anyway?
[08:51] {Threei} this looks like resort measure :)
[08:51] {hawkfan4} i see no other option...they'd find a way :)
[08:52] {Threei} I've no doubt
[08:52] {Threei} if that takes injecting 10T they'll do it
[08:53] {Threei} any expense imaginable is cheaper than letting total metdown happen
[08:53] {Threei} and consdering that money is being created by mouse click - what is there to stop them?
[08:54] {hawkfan4} i'm imagining Bernake watching the futures and holding his head, like a trader stuck in a really bad losing position
[08:54] {patience} nah, he's out on job interviews
[08:54] {_xzap} lol hawk, so true
[08:55] {Threei} took 500 at .25 DELL
[08:55] {Threei} this is getting ridiculous
[08:56] {Threei} wet soapy babies are flying everywhere
[08:58] {Threei} now, I am going for a smoke... and when I return I want to see DELL above 14
[08:58] {hawkfan4} lol
[08:58] {_xzap} they built a new Dell plant near me 2 -3 years ago and now there's talk of it closing
[08:59] {_xzap} I haven't had a cigarette in 1 1/2 years, going for a smoke sounds soooo good
[09:00] {patience} my father died in may from smoking, it's not good
[09:00] {_xzap} I quit because of a heart attack at 50
[09:00] {cosmo} cigarettes anyway
[09:00] {Onix} Good morning all
[09:01] {_xzap} morning Onix
[09:02] {_xzap} LOL, me too cosmo
[09:02] {Threei} onix :)
[09:03] {Threei} hmm... stuff I smoked was not strong enough to send DELL to above 14 :)
[09:03] {cosmo} yeah...i don't care what gas costs.... i still smoke my tires.
[09:03] {cosmo} hehe
[09:03] {_xzap} lol
[09:04] {_xzap} I think maybe the BIG sell off is near, maybe today
[09:04] {Threei} market sure feels this way
[09:06] {GeoArb} gm all

[09:07] {cosmo} careful...soapy babies are slipery
[09:07] {Threei} Russian exchange is closed till Fri
[09:08] {Threei} let me repost what I said earlier:
[09:08] {Threei} [07:44] {Threei} I want to reserve forming opinion for a bit
[09:09] {Threei} [07:44] {Threei} reason is, I clearly allowed my longer term outlook to imact my intraday outlook yesterda
[09:09] {Threei} [07:44] {Threei} so want to make sure I remain objective and trade what I see today
[09:09] {Threei} 80 points reversal NQ
[09:10] {cosmo} need another rate cut ...before the open maybe
[09:10] {_xzap} When the Buffet effect didn't work on GE, I knew that couldn't be a good thing
[09:12] {Threei} so far it looks like panic is about to hit right out of the gate
[09:13] {Threei} DJI -213
[09:13] {_xzap} I think that's what the mkt needs Vad, a violent drop
[09:13] {Threei} probably
[09:13] {Threei} washout
[09:13] {_xzap} yep, shake it all out and start building a base
[09:14] {Threei} can you smell desperation is this comment:

[09:18] {Threei} no wonder
[09:19] {Threei} consumer confidence is evaporating
[09:20] {_xzap} I think one thing that really has the mkt on hold right now is all the CEO's that came on TV and said "we are fine" only to tank the next day
[09:20] {_xzap} no trust

[09:23] {dptl} :) Onix
[09:23] {Threei} zap... a lot of theories, none of them short enough to post here,
[09:24] {Threei} a very very short jist would be:
[09:24] {Threei} deeply oversold levels plus realisation that Europe situation is probably even more dire than USA
[09:24] {_xzap} look what it's done since mid July: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$USD&p=D&yr=3&mn=0&dy=0&id=p02312263577&a=99941010
[09:25] {Threei} plus complicated carry trades and derivatives suddenly leading to sahirtage of USD in Central banks
[09:25] {Threei} plus 5 more factors, too much for me to remember

[09:39] {magoo} out ty vad
[09:39] {Threei} welcome sir
[09:39] {GeoArb} TY vad

[09:41] {Threei} candidates for pullback entry: XLNX and ADBE
[09:43] {_xzap} DRYS setting up for short
[09:44] {Threei} ADBE 29.06 half lot break
[09:45] {Threei} XLNX 21.25 half lot
[09:45] {Threei} ADBE invalidated
[09:45] {Threei} bounce candidate rather
[09:46] {Threei} XLNX is valid as long as holding above 21
[09:50] {Threei} XLNX over 1:1
[09:51] {Threei} ADBE slipped through fingers
[09:51] {_xzap} DRYS res at 22.5
[09:52] {esemde} good morning
[09:52] {Threei} ese :)
[09:52] {_xzap} hey ese
[09:53] {Threei} Long Setup: NUAN 11.81 half lot if stays above .60
[09:54] {Threei} German Fin Min Steinbrueck stated in a letter to US Treasury's Paulson that markets are still far from being “out of the woods” and called for for a global ban on certain short selling activities.
06[09:54] * Threei is crying
[09:56] {_xzap} Vad, do you place buy stop orders such as 11.81 on NUAN ?
[09:56] {hawkfan4} how many points is the dow down since the short ban?
[09:56] {Threei} no, I execute manually
[09:56] {_xzap} ok
[09:56] {Threei} no kidding hawk
[09:57] {_xzap} pending home sales at 10 am
[09:59] {_xzap} Vad, here's part of my problem. I wanted to short DRYS @ 22.50 but didn't pull the trigger. Now it's down almost 1 point
[10:00] {Threei} zap... best book I can recommend on this kind of troubleshooting for practically any frequent problem:
[10:00] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/masterplan/
[10:00] {_xzap} ok
[10:00] {Threei} AUG PENDING HOME SALES: 7.4% V -1.3%E
[10:00] {Threei} - prior revised from -3.2% to -2.7
[10:01] {Threei} hmm
[10:01] {GeoArb} dino buying again
[10:01] {Threei} isn;'t it an unexpectedly good number
[10:01] {Threei} lol
[10:01] {magoo} vad..should we be buying pullbacks or shorting spikes?
[10:01] {Onix} lies me thinks
[10:02] {Threei} for now, buying pullbacks mode mags
[10:02] {Threei} but let's keep it to half lots
[10:02] {magoo} k
[10:02] {Threei} it's not like all the nervousness got removed from market over last 30 minutes
[10:03] {Threei} onix.. even if number is true... it's pending, so certain % of those will fall trough for the lack of financing
[10:04] {Threei} and I'd suspect in current credit crunch it will be signifiant %
[10:04] {Onix} all true
[10:04] {GeoArb} so whats the trickle down timeline again?
[10:04] {_xzap} I really don't like this swing from pm to the open
[10:05] {_xzap} CSIQ at 12.40 ?
[10:06] {Threei} .41
[10:06] {Threei} and puyllback is too deep now
[10:06] {Threei} invalidated as breakout unless goes through new consolidation between .20 and .40
[10:07] {_xzap} I see res at the pivot lines
[10:07] {GeoArb} i guess nuan still on
[10:07] {Threei} it is but keep an eye on futs
[10:08] {Threei} all these plays are valid only with market resumping strength
[10:11] {Threei} if market returns to melancholic mode, NUAN will be a short on .60 breakdown
[10:17] {Threei} feel free to cover NUAN for a scalp
[10:21] {_xzap} got + .16 out of NUAN
[10:22] {Threei} cool beans
[10:22] {GeoArb} "cool beans"
[10:22] {_xzap} but that just covers com. on 100 shares
[10:22] {Onix} ty Vad, got .18 in NUAN
[10:22] {Threei} geo... whatever you do today, do NOT keep score which is now stands at 3 for 3
[10:22] {hawkfan4} lol
[10:22] {Threei} onix :)
[10:22] {GeoArb} my tally pad is flushed
[10:22] {GeoArb} and off course you mentioned the numbers
[10:23] {Threei} well zap... 100 shares is not really money making lot unless you play something of RIMM kind... it's a training lot
[10:23] {GeoArb} in laser i need about 2 cents regardless of share size
[10:23] {_xzap} I'm just gun shy from previous losses and this real thin mkt
[10:23] {GeoArb} right vad?
[10:24] {GeoArb} i am counting in and out and ECN passthrus
[10:24] {_xzap} Scott Trade, I need .14 for break even
[10:24] {Threei} actually yes... do you pay per share commissions or per order, zap?
[10:24] {GeoArb} scotttrade
[10:24] {GeoArb} ticket
[10:24] {_xzap} per order, $7
[10:24] {Threei} no good for less than 100 shares then
[10:24] {GeoArb} gotta pay for the helecopter :)
[10:25] {Threei} less than 1000 sorry
[10:25] {_xzap} i know
[10:25] {Threei} and execution on scott... sorry, never heard much compliments about that
[10:27] {_xzap} it does take 2 fills sometimes over 500
[10:27] {Threei} and you pay two tickets??
[10:27] {_xzap} no, just 1
[10:27] {Threei} whew
[10:27] {_xzap} SQNM break down
[10:27] {Onix} Questrade at least charges only $4.50 in & $4.50 out up to 499 shares
[10:28] {GeoArb} what we need vad is to open a brockerage
[10:28] {GeoArb} brokerage too
[10:28] {_xzap} too late on SQNM, missed that one
[10:28] {Threei} I'd agree with you if it was 1998 :)
[10:28] {GeoArb} :)
[10:28] {_xzap} whay do you guys use ?
[10:29] {Threei} laser
[10:29] {Onix} I use Genesis' Laser platform
[10:29] {GeoArb} I signed up for real moneyand signed up for a "book" on options on futures......I got a call from a full service broker for 15 min.....then me mailed me a CME booklet !!!!
[10:29] {_xzap} Is it just a platform for entering orders ?
[10:29] {Onix} $0.05 per share
[10:30] {Threei} it's a full package zap
[10:30] {GeoArb} what else would you need xzap?
[10:30] {Threei} quotes, charts, executions
[10:30] {Threei} *US TSY TO REOPEN SECURITIES IN MULTIPLE AUCTIONS
[10:31] {Threei} click on an icon on our homepage zap, and ask for a demo
[10:31] {_xzap} ok, thx
[10:31] {Threei} run it for a week, see if you like it
[10:31] {_xzap} I hate setting up a whole new program
[10:32] {Threei} pay to scotttrade then :)
[10:32] {_xzap} lol
[10:32] {Threei} hehe
[10:32] {Threei} come on... takes what, 10 min?
[10:32] {_xzap} I'm looking now
[10:32] {Threei} who installed laser more or less recently
[10:32] {GeoArb} me?
[10:32] {Threei} more than 10 min?
[10:32] {Onix} I did
[10:32] {Threei} or less?
[10:33] {_xzap} and the fees are what ?
[10:33] {Threei} especially if using pre-canned layouts
[10:33] {Onix} VERY quick & easy with LaserDave's help
[10:33] {GeoArb} i just borrowed vads and daves
[10:33] {Threei} read there on a webpage zap
[10:33] {GeoArb} and mixed em
[10:33] {Threei} laserdave is moving these couple days, so maybe a phone call will be faster than e-mail
[10:34] {_xzap} I would like a system where you can enter a stop at the same time you enter a buy in one order
[10:34] {GeoArb} hmmm
[10:34] {Threei} sorry, two separate operations
[10:34] {_xzap} I think they all are
[10:34] {GeoArb} depends xzap
[10:35] {GeoArb} use button trader with IB it throws a bracket out.... stop and target
[10:35] {GeoArb} but you loose a lot on speed
[10:35] {GeoArb} as vad will testify i went on that journey
[10:35] {Threei} DOE CRUDE: +8.21M V +2.4ME; GASOLINE: +7..2M V +1ME;
[10:35] {Threei} oh boy
[10:35] {esemde} OK....added another full lot of NVDA at 7.25
[10:35] {Threei} we are awash in oil
[10:36] {Onix} but the price is holding well
[10:36] {Threei} ese... what's your time horizon for NVDA?
[10:36] {Threei} price of what onix?
[10:37] {Threei} USO dropped dolar and half on numbers
[10:37] {Onix} oil
[10:37] {esemde} months ....possibly a year
[10:37] {Onix} oh did not watch USO
[10:37] {Threei} :)
[10:38] {Threei} ese... I believe you are getting firesale prices
[10:38] {Threei} I honestly can't imagine all DELLs and NVDAs of the world remaining this low
[10:39] {esemde} On this one for sure.......at the very least it could be bought out for anywhere between 15 and 20 a share....which I doubt would happen
[10:39] {_xzap} so laser is $200 a month ?
[10:39] {Threei} shhh zap
[10:39] {_xzap} lol
[10:39] {Threei} there is a little dirty secret
[10:40] {Threei} dcc for it :)
[10:43] {Threei} USO is down more
[10:52] {Threei} market narrowed
[10:52] {Threei} staying on a sideline, waiting for next road signal
[10:55] {Onix} Until later then, gotta go to my real job now
[10:58] {Threei} getting interested in AA but so far can't get its rythm
[11:01] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON WILL REPORTEDLY SPEAK AT G7 CONFERENCE LATER TODAY
[11:04] {Threei} AA
[11:04] {Threei} .61 lng
[11:04] {Threei} .49 stop

[11:10] {_xzap} SQNM 18 ?
[11:11] {Threei} not clear SQNM
[11:12] {_xzap} ADBE
[11:13] {Threei} if market resumes strength, AA could be a nice runner off 14 break
[11:13] {Threei} risky one
[11:15] {magoo} vad..yu think we going down 350 today?
[11:15] {Threei} no
[11:15] {Threei} but then again, I didn't think that yesterday either
[11:15] {GeoArb} sounds like a town hall answer vad
06[11:16] * Threei slaps GeoArb around a bit with a large trout
[11:17] {GeoArb} geo{-- agrees market has slowed down too
[11:19] {Threei} hint Geo... that's not the way to talk a man who is running 4 for 4 today (not that we keep score)
[11:20] {GeoArb} geo{-- bows and scrapes and shuffles away.... not keeping score off course
[11:20] {Threei} nope
[11:21] {Threei} half out AA
[11:21] {Threei} that would constitute 5 for 5 IF we kepr score
[11:21] {GeoArb} half out .11
[11:21] {GeoArb} wow
[11:22] {Threei} out in full
[11:23] {GeoArb} out now

[11:24] {GeoArb} thanks dptl
[11:24] {dptl} :)
[11:25] {GeoArb} oh yeah... thanks vad
[11:27] {Threei} pullbacks are buyable, IMO
[11:27] {Threei} just don't jump in too soon
[11:28] {Threei} or wait for some consolidation followed by break
[11:28] {Threei} ADBE, AA
[11:29] {_xzap} DRYS at .21 ?
[11:29] {Threei} very nice pullback AA
[11:29] {Threei} 21 break
[11:29] {Threei} on DRYS
[11:30] {GeoArb} heheheh
[11:30] {GeoArb} i went .21 break on aa
[11:30] {GeoArb} got out 26 after reading next line
[11:30] {GeoArb} 5 cents
[11:30] {Threei} it has more in it if market resumes
[11:31] {Threei} and it should
[11:31] {_xzap} $21 break or .21 break Vad on DRYS?
[11:31] {Threei} 21
[11:31] {Threei} but pullbacks are way too deep on it for my taste
[11:31] {_xzap} k
[11:31] {Threei} too volatile for reliable read
[11:32] {_xzap} Semi's #2 hot group right now
[11:33] {Threei} what's number 1?
[11:33] {_xzap} Gold & Silver
[11:33] {_xzap} missed a good run on FMER
[11:34] {esemde} am back...screen trouble
[11:34] {Threei} sizeable pullback ADBE also
[11:34] {Threei} wait for market to resumption
[11:35] {_xzap} thx for the info Vad, I talked to dave
[11:36] {Threei} still selling in the market but reversal feels close
[11:37] {GeoArb} quick Q.... do people here have TTN?

[11:38] {_xzap} nope
[11:38] {Threei} stop .15
[11:39] {Threei} missed ADBE
[11:39] {Threei} just a scalp most likely, don't chase above .25
[11:45] {_xzap} JOYG near day's low
[11:45] {magoo} 200 down boss
[11:45] {Threei} and counting
[11:46] {Threei} easy money maybe done for now
[11:47] {_xzap} JRCC short ?
[11:47] {Threei} on bounce preferrably
[11:48] {Threei} .30 -.40 area is closest resistance
[11:48] {_xzap} FWLT short ?
[11:49] {Threei} how many of them are you playing at the same time?
[11:49] {Threei} JRCC just bounced into resistance
[11:49] {_xzap} I watch 5 charts
[11:50] {Threei} yes, but 5 open positions in such thin and fast stocks?
[11:50] {Threei} look at JRCC
[11:50] {Threei} beautiful drop right off resistance area
[11:50] {_xzap} oh no, just watch for pivots and res/sup
[11:50] {Threei} you took it?
[11:50] {Threei} focus man, focus :)
[11:50] {_xzap} didn't tak eit Vad
[11:50] {_xzap} carpet cleaner is here

[11:51] {dptl} maan you guys...lol
[11:51] {Threei} lol
[11:52] {dptl} can concentrate :)
[11:52] {dptl} cant
[11:52] {Threei} so, group opinion... does this deserve baptising by trout?
[11:52] {patience} yup
[11:52] {Threei} only spelled right
06[11:52] * magoo slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
06[11:52] * Threei slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
06[11:52] * dptl slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
06[11:52] * GeoArb slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout

06[11:53] * hawkfan4 slaps _xzap around a bit with a large trout
[11:53] {Threei} hawk is real trader... he took profit on JRCC first, slapped later
[11:53] {hawkfan4} lol
[11:56] {_xzap} CRZO near losing S2
[11:58] {GeoArb} i have seen the calculations of the pivots xzap
[11:58] {GeoArb} do you think that works better than looking for prev supp res?
[11:58] {_xzap} on QT ?
[11:58] {GeoArb} yes
[11:59] {dptl} i think it all depends on how many people look at this staf on that day geo
[11:59] {_xzap} I use S1 & S2, R1 & R2 and a pivot, they are usually pretty spot on
[11:59] {GeoArb} my impression has been it works better on futures.... but then i dont say this from my lake front estate so........
[12:01] {_xzap} yeah, I've yet to move to the lakefront myself
[12:01] {_xzap} I use them in combination with EMA's and stochs
[12:01] {GeoArb} ok
[12:01] {_xzap} works very well in theory, I'm just gun shy right now from some previous losses
[12:02] {_xzap} see how CRZO bounced off S2 Geo and has moved up .65
[12:03] {GeoArb} Ill have to fire up QT.... I am just using laser charts
[12:03] {GeoArb} will do after market hrs
[12:06] {Threei} starting looking for shorts

[12:14] {Chaeron} I'm in Fashion Island geo

[12:17] {_xzap} hi Chaeron

[12:17] {Chaeron} hey Zap :)
[12:18] {_xzap} watching JRCC to lose the .50
[12:21] {_xzap} looks like a lot of stocks are holding at S2
[12:23] {patience} ok, off to do 10k, abx +1.57, trades nicely this morning
[12:24] {_xzap} a 10K run patience ?
[12:25] {patience} every day
[12:25] {_xzap} wow
[12:26] {_xzap} I run up and down the steps to fix lunch
[12:26] {patience} great, exercise in whatever form works :)
[12:27] {_xzap} JRCC near .50
[12:30] {_xzap} don't know why I didn't trade that
[12:32] {peterg} wht stops me from trading mostly is fear
[12:32] {peterg} trying to train self to act on probabilities
[12:33] {_xzap} DRYS losing whole number
[12:34] {_xzap} spot gols is $909, S&P is 971, will they cross ?
[12:34] {_xzap} gold
[12:44] {Threei} ADBE changes too fast to call it real time
[12:45] {Threei} try to obsderve it and get a feel for its pullbacks and bunces
[12:45] {Threei} works quite well for quick scalps
[12:45] {Threei} never chase it
[12:45] {Threei} buy on pullbacks deeper than you would think normal
[12:45] {Threei} offer into jumps back up
[12:52] {_xzap} # 1 losing sector, Life Insurance
[12:54] {_xzap} CSIQ trying to get above whole number
[12:56] {_xzap} FWLT running up
[12:59] {_xzap} man, people are selling into ANY little run
[13:00] {Threei} well... they are also buying any pullback
[13:00] {Threei} which keeps us in locked market for now
[13:00] {Threei} look ADBE
[13:00] {Threei} this is preview of things to come qwhen bull starts roaring
[13:01] {Threei} real moves instead of tiny scalps
[13:02] {_xzap} the NAS stocks I follow are down 50 - 70 %. When the bull comes it will back to 5 -10 point moves
[13:03] {magoo} forgot what its like vad
[13:03] {Threei} start remembering slowly
[13:04] {Threei} don't jump in with both feet yet of course
[13:05] {Threei} we will have a lot of time when it starts, it's not going to be a week or two
[13:06] {_xzap} MM's back from lunch it looks like
[13:08] {magoo} vad..u think close green?
[13:08] {Threei} very possible
[13:11] {Threei} if you watched ADBE closely, you'd take .67-.70 on this last pullback
[13:11] {_xzap} LIHR setting up for a pullback
[13:14] {Threei} 30 break is coming with market help
[13:14] {Threei} came
[13:15] {Threei} a bit too fast
[13:15] {Threei} anyone managed to grab it?
[13:18] {Threei} prime minister is in town... what am I doing here with you sleepyheads
[13:18] {_xzap} JRCC @ 16.01 ?
[13:19] {Threei} nah
[13:19] {Threei} spiked too vertical into resistance
[13:19] {Threei} if consolidates a little, then yes
[13:20] {laserdave1} magoo dcc please
[13:31] {Threei} even though we are still in red, do you feel how differently market feels and acts today?
[13:31] {magoo} feels like coiling vad
[13:32] {Threei} see how much more wilingly stocks go up now?
[13:33] {hawkfan4} definitely getting more interesting
[13:36] {Threei} pullbacks are really getting bought
[13:40] {Threei} FITCH CUTS ICELAND'S SOVEREIGN RATINGS
[13:43] {Threei} do you guys watch ADBE?
[13:43] {Threei} not necessary playing
[13:43] {Threei} but watching to see how it's goling to work everywhere very soon
[13:44] {Threei} hmmm
[13:44] {Threei} I guess I'll see you all in 6 months
[13:50] {GeoArb} 6 months?
[13:50] {Threei} yup
[13:51] {GeoArb} wgat did i miss?
[13:51] {Threei} wheh you sleepyheads will have missed first huge leg of bul market
[13:56] {_xzap} I see a lot of stocks making V bottoms today
[13:57] {_xzap} intra day, not long term
[13:57] {Threei} and each pullback is a mini-V
[13:58] {Chaeron} dang... missed SPWRA at 48.15
[13:58] {Chaeron} nice set up
[13:59] {Threei} very
[14:02] {Threei} http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/3159998/Russian-president-Dmitry-Medvedev-calls-for-Europe-to-freeze-out-US.html
[14:02] {GeoArb} pshaw
[14:02] {GeoArb} its not like they relate to him
[14:03] {GeoArb} vad my LII and charts are intermittent
[14:03] {GeoArb} server number?
[14:03] {Threei} 12
[14:04] {peterg} Love potion number 9
[14:04] {peterg} random assoiciation
[14:04] {GeoArb} umm i change all?
[14:05] {_xzap} WERN could run
[14:06] {Threei} not sure what you are asking geo
[14:06] {_xzap} Vad } buy WERN on pullback to 21
[14:08] {_xzap} or 20.69 area maybe ?
[14:09] {Threei} if marker pulls back, drags WERN there, then reverses
[14:09] {Threei} these things should be p[layed with general market
[14:09] {_xzap} I just fixed a mess of fried green tomatoes. Anyone else like 'em ?
[14:26] {Threei} let's sit out next 30 minutes
[14:26] {Threei} and see what last hor brings
[14:26] {Threei} everyone's happy with today so far?
[14:26] {magoo} yup
[14:26] {patience} that was an expensive run i went on
[14:26] {patience} good thing i kept the barrick options
[14:27] {Threei} "can do no wrong" day
[14:27] {Threei} direct opposite of yesterday
[14:27] {patience} totally, just a joy to trade....
[14:27] {Threei} and yesterday was my own fault completely
[14:27] {Threei} just allowed my opinion to override the read
[14:27] {magoo} yes it was {he he as magoo runs for cover}
[14:27] {Threei} happens to me once a year
06[14:27] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[14:27] {Threei} run faster
[14:28] {Threei} now, last hour will be a bit tougher,
[14:28] {Threei} because market will try to sort olut what to do next
[14:29] {Threei} so we will see if there is something easy to read,
[14:29] {Threei} keep lot to half
[14:29] {Threei} and again,
[14:29] {Threei} memorize the way stocks acted today off pullbacks,
[14:29] {Threei} this is preview of things to come
[14:29] {Threei} when we stop scalping for 15 cents
[14:29] {peterg} jiggity
[14:30] {Threei} and hunt for much bigger moves,
[14:30] {Threei} partial out more vs taking full profit
[14:30] {Threei} letting them run in other words
[14:31] {Threei} have a look at RIMM
[14:31] {Threei} over 6 bucks run up
[14:31] {peterg} made most of yesterday back in it with little bites
[14:31] {Threei} 3 of them are obtainable on a single trade if we are in bull market mode
[14:34] {_xzap} GOLD rolling over
[14:36] {Threei} this is first pullback NQ over a few hours that penetrated lower band
[14:39] {peterg} Vad, talking about day or also overnight holds?
[14:43] {_xzap} JRCC short under 16.9 ?
[14:44] {Threei} with stop over 17.10
[14:47] {Threei} ECB'S KRANJEC: ADDITIONAL ACTION WILL BE EVALUATED IN TIME AS NECESSARY
[14:47] {Threei} I am telling you guys... they will throw any amount of money at this
[14:48] {Threei} and eventusally create so much money eager to jump in that bull market will be as insane as bear was
[14:48] {_xzap} i don't see where there's a choice any more Vad
[14:48] {magoo} cramer posts down day tomorrow with holiday, margin calls etc
[14:48] {Threei} cool... I am ready to buy then mags
[14:48] {Threei} guy's record is perfect
[14:49] {Threei} fade him and you are in the money 95% of the time
[14:49] {magoo} roflol tru dat
[14:49] {Threei} zap... lost me sorry
[14:49] {_xzap} in JRCC @ 16.9
[14:49] {_xzap} I don't think the gov. has any choice now
[14:50] {Threei} nope
[14:50] {Threei} they have to stop it at any cost
[14:50] {Threei} and they will
[14:50] {_xzap} fire up the presses
[14:50] {Threei} eqzaktly
[14:50] {Threei} inflate your way out of problem, damn the consequences 3 years later
[14:51] {_xzap} stopped out JRCC
[14:51] {Threei} broader picture wise, I really hope they'll use the breathing time they get to fix the root of problem
[14:51] {Threei} not really holding my breath for that
[14:51] {Threei} but still hope
[14:52] {Threei} if they don't, a few years down the road we will have even bigger problem
[14:52] {Threei} someone must show leadership and make tough choices
[14:53] {peterg} ok--just paid off mortgage on house....should I take out a new ?
[14:53] {peterg} to pay back in cheaper dollars
[14:53] {Threei} why limit yourelf to just one... :)
[14:53] {peterg} one, a second & a third!!!
[14:53] {Threei} on serious note, that won't work peter
[14:54] {peterg} am a fiscal conservative; have little debt
[14:54] {peterg} like it that way
[14:54] {Threei} what you make will lag behind the inflation
[14:54] {Threei} unless you make a killing in a stock market... but then, why take out mortgage at all
[14:55] {peterg} yep
[14:55] {Threei} one sign of bull market is still missing
[14:55] {Threei} we have everything in place:
[14:56] {Threei} huge drop, all talking heads on TV saying this is the end of the world,
[14:56] {Threei} doom and gloom everywhere
[14:56] {Threei} but one thing is missing:
[14:56] {Threei} Maria still hasn't said it's time to learn how to short and hasn't provided a list of stocks to short
[14:57] {hawkfan4} lol, so true
[14:57] {magoo} that WAS the bottom he he
[14:57] {Threei} yup... :)
[14:57] {Threei} that was what, about a week or two before my bottom call in 2003? :)
[14:58] {Threei} btw, not sure I posted it
[14:58] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/10/information-price-divergence.html
[15:01] {magoo} vad..my usual question here
[15:01] {Threei} can't tell yet
[15:02] {hawkfan4} i bet if we close down maria will be putting that list together real soon
[15:04] {_xzap} is this struggle between bulls and bears a good sign of bottom ?
[15:04] {Threei} I don't see it in such terms
[15:04] {Threei} there is always a struggle between them
[15:05] {Threei} more than that, I am not even sure we have seen the bottom
[15:05] {Threei} one green day bull market does not maketh
[15:05] {_xzap} Oh, I'm sure were aren't at the bottom
[15:05] {Threei} botrtoming out is not an event
[15:05] {Threei} it's a process
[15:05] {Threei} we are working through it
[15:06] {Threei} bulls are slowly getting back in saddle
[15:06] {Threei} bears are overconfident,
[15:06] {Threei} they don't take any hit as more than a pinch yet
[15:07] {Threei} there is a lot of liquidation happens,
[15:07] {Threei} some forced
[15:07] {Threei} some out of panic
[15:07] {Threei} balance is slowly changing
[15:07] {_xzap} I still think we'll see 7500 on the Dow
[15:07] {Threei} and there is an awful lot of money waiting on a sideline, ready to pounce
[15:08] {magoo} oh oh cnbc
[15:08] {Threei} what?
[15:08] {Threei} "learn to short"?
[15:08] {_xzap} can you imagine just how much $$ is sitting and waiting
[15:08] {Threei} trillions
[15:08] {Threei} I am not kidding
[15:08] {_xzap} oh I totally agree
[15:09] {Threei} modest atimation would be 3-4 T
[15:09] {Threei} estimation
[15:10] {cosmo} tell them we're getting impatient
[15:10] {peterg} vad, are you lookikng for more than day trades, i.e. overnight and more?
[15:10] {Threei} you mean paulson speaking mags?
[15:10] {cosmo} me anyway
[15:10] {magoo} yup
[15:10] {Threei} only when the bull is firmly established peter
[15:10] {peterg} ok
[15:10] {Threei} we will see this kind of buying
[15:11] {Threei} totally reckless, like boiling water
[15:11] {Threei} grab anything in sight
[15:11] {Threei} any headline in news is a reason to buy
[15:11] {peterg} buying rampage!
[15:11] {Threei} no headline, buy anyway beforer news appear
[15:11] {Threei} 1999... 2003...
[15:11] {Threei} this kind
[15:11] {peterg} So exciting Im anxious again
[15:12] {Threei} any news and run up on some stock in a sector, everyone starts looking up other names and buy them
[15:12] {Threei} buying
[15:12] {Threei} so we see a lot of sympathy moves
[15:13] {_xzap} In anormal mkt it's normal to see stocks like JRCC, DRYS, FWLT, ENER to have 3 -6 points daily swings
[15:15] {Threei} lookie here
[15:15] {Threei} paulson speaking, and market doesn't drop
[15:15] {Threei} now for ultimate confirmation we need Bush on TV and market not dropping
[15:15] {Threei} and I will buy everything in sight
[15:16] {patience} he has told world markets g7 governmetns will just keep throwing money at the problem
[15:16] {Threei} yes
[15:16] {Threei} but lately any appearance of these guys sent market down screaming, lol
[15:16] {Threei} no matter what they saidf
[15:16] {patience} markets needs an excuse to announce the bottom
[15:17] {_xzap} who's gonna buy all these empty houses on the mkt ?
[15:17] {Threei} just stay away from financials when bull starts
[15:17] {Threei} that sector will be in troubles for quite a while
[15:17] {patience} 3rd quarter results start next week....hopefully up volume continues
[15:18] {Threei} mags... feels like most likely we will stay locked in narrow range
[15:18] {Threei} neither side has enough conviction to close today with any commitment
[15:18] {Threei} maybe slight bias toward up
[15:18] {Threei} but very slight
[15:19] {magoo} tech will be the bull mkt
[15:19] {Threei} one of leading, yes
[15:19] {Threei} not only
[15:19] {magoo} agg
[15:19] {Threei} bios will join a while
[15:20] {Threei} probably energy stocks
[15:20] {Threei} probably utilities
[15:21] {_xzap} alt. energy was in the bailout bill. Solars should do well
[15:22] {Threei} solars I would like to see showing they have it in them still
[15:22] {Threei} this is not an easy sector
[15:22] {cosmo} it needs high oil?
[15:22] {Threei} it was a pure beauty a year ago
[15:22] {_xzap} oil needs to be above 120's for the solars to do real good
[15:22] {Threei} remember when for a month or two almost al.l we played were solars?
[15:23] {Threei} CSIQ, SOLF, JASO, FSLR, CSUN, HOKU
[15:23] {_xzap} and ENER
[15:23] {cosmo} ...and now lunars
[15:23] {Threei} with oil prices dropping, it will take real conviction to continue developing them
[15:23] {_xzap} yep because we are so short sighted
[15:23] {Threei} it happened after oil crisis of 70s
[15:24] {Threei} when all the developemnts in al energy, cars etc were abandoned aftert oil drop
[15:24] {Threei} this time around it's not likely to repeat
[15:24] {Threei} scare was too big
[15:24] {_xzap} oil down = don't worry about it. Oil up = alt. sources, quick !
[15:24] {Threei} and environmental movement is much stronger
[15:25] {_xzap} WWJLD?
[15:25] {Threei} so, I believe in auto industry introduction of greener and morfe economic cars will continue
[15:25] {Threei} solars, gotta see it first
[15:25] {GeoArb} i would love solars in socal
[15:25] {cosmo} photosynthetic cars i say
[15:26] {_xzap} if the Baltic shipping rate ever goes back up, DRYS has about 100 point upside
[15:27] {Threei} it will, as economy starts recovering
[15:27] {_xzap} remember just before the Olympics all you heard was China can't get enough coal, etc
[15:29] {Threei} uhhu
[15:29] {Threei} and oil, ad steel
[15:29] {Threei} and I was predicting China collapse
[15:29] {Threei} and laughed at
[15:31] {Threei} then again... I receive daily e-mails telling me that girls luahg at me since I don't use any of pills enlargening some body parts... so I am used to it
[15:35] {_xzap} I remembere the day oil broke $100. It was later determined that 2 floor traders got together and agreed to make that trade
[15:35] {Threei} oil is under 100, and he still insists on 150 and 200
[15:35] {_xzap} sure, he wants to make a 2nd fortune in wind
[15:36] {cosmo} they're printing the money for that, right now
[15:36] {_xzap} the more Paulson talks, the ore the futures are sliding
[15:36] {Threei} no jump, no slide, really
[15:37] {Threei} narrow range
[15:38] {_xzap} at one time weren't there oil contracts going for 200 ?
[15:38] {Threei} I don't think we ever touched 150
[15:38] {Threei} 148 with change was absolute top
[15:39] {_xzap} the future contracts
[15:39] {Threei} VLO
[15:39] {Threei} MOODY'S RAISES RATING TO BAA2 FROM BAA3
[15:41] {_xzap} sell off coming
[15:41] {Threei} let's see if it gets picked up again
[15:42] {Threei} or bulls decided that was enough for the day
[15:42] {_xzap} I see a lot rolling over
[15:42] {Threei} ADBE will be interesting for bounce scalp near .50
[15:43] {Threei} looks like no ban extention, eh?
[15:43] {Threei} we get out shorts back tomorrow
[15:43] {GeoArb} isnt it expiring at night?
[15:44] {GeoArb} well probably know tomo morning
[15:44] {_xzap} sposed to expire tonight
[15:44] {peterg} expires midnight

[09:15] {peterg} ese, yes you betcha
[09:15] {esemde} how did you do it....
[09:15] {_xzap} I have OS X

[09:18] {_xzap} I can't
[09:18] {Threei} onix :)
[09:18] {peterg} VMware might support miRC; try it
[09:18] {peterg} Parallels did not support my Laser trading platform

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

[10:50] {GeoArb} for QT?
[10:50] {_xzap} TDA data feed
[10:50] {GeoArb} ok TY
[10:51] {GeoArb} do you use esignla sector scanner?
[10:51] {_xzap} the thing I like about QT is it will draw the pivots, sup and res for you
[10:51] {Onix} Until later, gotta go to work now
[10:52] {_xzap} see ay Onix
[10:52] {_xzap} I use the Power Scan pkg
[10:53] {GeoArb} ok thanks
[10:53] {_xzap} stopped out JRCC
[10:56] {_xzap} Geo } The Pre Market Scan is the most useful tool for me to find the gap ups/downs
[10:56] {Threei} so far, jerky and undecisive
[10:56] {GeoArb} ok
[10:57] {_xzap} then I load about 5 - 10 of them in QT and start scanning for those pivots

[11:41] {_xzap} Peter } Just checked with the developer of mIRC, no Mac version
[11:41] {GeoArb} use parallels xzap
[11:41] {Threei} market really takes a breather today
[11:42] {Threei} no commitment either way
[11:42] {_xzap} don't know what that is Geo
[11:42] {_xzap} I am computer dumb
[11:43] {GeoArb} also i believe trillian has a mac version and connects to irc

[11:49] {Chaeron} well, is it going to get better? :) nice one Zap
[11:49] {_xzap} thx Chaeron
[11:50] {Threei} we'll see
[11:50] {GeoArb} i hate days like these
[11:50] {Threei} yep, meaningless jerkiness
[11:50] {GeoArb} we loose first half..... i go to work... vad makes it back and more
[11:50] {GeoArb} and i miss that part
[11:50] {GeoArb} :)
[11:51] {Threei} happened too...
[11:51] {_xzap} I was hoping for a BIG selloff today
[11:51] {Threei} nah, that was yesterday
[11:52] {Threei} may come tomorrow
[11:52] {_xzap} but it didn't close down 800, that would have helped
[11:52] {Threei} but today - only if some disgusting news comes
[11:53] {Threei} actually, if it did close down 800, we would have second round of selling this morning
[11:53] {GeoArb} off to work... see you all
[11:53] {_xzap} and that would be a good thing
[11:53] {_xzap} see ya Geo
[11:53] {Threei} sure
[11:53] {Threei} recovery would come fast and furious
[11:53] {_xzap} that's what I wanted to see Vad, close down 800 y'day and a BIG sell of today
[11:54] {Threei} yeah... yesterday big bounce precluded that scenario
[11:54] {Threei} and got us in today's uncertainty
[11:54] {Threei} it shouldn't last longer than a day though
[11:54] {Threei} tomorrow will have a direction
[11:55] {_xzap} I want to see the Dow test 7500
[11:56] {Threei} volume is ridiculously low today
[11:56] {_xzap} I think trading is done til 3 PM

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

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

[14:53] {Threei} I hope not
[14:53] {Threei} IMO, that would be a mistake
[14:54] {patience} well, so do i, but nonetheless, is this what the market is waiting for
[14:55] {Threei} remember last month? market seemed to be confident about rate cut and did sell off briefly after none was announced
[14:55] {Threei} then forgot about it in a minute
[14:55] {Threei} I suspect same thing will happen this time
[15:01] {Threei} AUG CONSUMER CREDIT: $-7.9B V $5BE, FIRST DROP SINCE 1998

[08:59] {patience} what was my bet with you if oil hit 80? I never took it seriously....sigh
[08:59] {patience} good morning rt
[09:00] {Threei} does it mean that I can claim any prize I want? :)
[09:00] {Threei} good morning patience
[09:00] {patience} hum de dum...let me think through this
[09:00] {patience} need coffee first :)
[09:01] {esemde} morning.......coffee with a hypodermic needle please
[09:01] {Threei} ese :)
[09:01] {Threei} my true forecast for myself is much lower than 80 actually... I just didn't want to be considered insane so stopped at 80
[09:01] {Threei} and btw it didn't help, I was considered insane anyway
[09:02] {Threei} DELL under 15
[09:02] {Threei} some sertious bargains start shaping up
[09:03] {Threei} RIMM under 60 - had tyou ever thought you'd see this?

[09:06] {patience} will cash in gold short term trades this morning
[09:06] {Threei} his record in calling major market turns is dismall
[09:09] {_xzap} my gap down scanners are showing a lot of good stocks that have been cut by 50% or more
[09:09] {magoo} in july cramer put up article that we had seen the bottom
[09:09] {magoo} vad, whats your take on today?humor me..i know u wait and see..but hey...where u think we headed?
[09:09] {Threei} we are closer and closer to market turn
[09:10] {Threei} I would expect first serious ramp up sometime today
[09:10] {GeoArb} gm
[09:10] {Threei} not an ultimate turn most likely, but first attempts of it
[09:10] {Threei} Geo :)
[09:11] {Threei} ideally, we don't get rally atempts too early in the day,
[09:11] {Threei} those would be sold.
[09:11] {Threei} However, if we get this hopeless bleak relentless selling pressure for a few hours,
[09:11] {Threei} then I'd expect very strong rally in second half of the day.
[09:12] {Threei} On a broader time frame, when major rally starts,
[09:12] {patience} i'm guessing fed rate cut this week....must be the last one to say it though :)
[09:12] {Threei} I want to start switching out of scalp mode
[09:12] {Threei} because when that rally comes, serious money is to be made
[09:13] {Threei} WB forming C&H on 1 min
[09:14] {Threei} 6.11 resistance... as much as premarket charts can be trusted
[09:14] {magoo} vad, u/we had good read on friday reaction..\
[09:15] {Threei} let's try not to bee too early on initiating longs
[09:15] {Threei} stay patient, premature attempts will do nothing but harm
[09:16] {Threei} but when real reverse comes, you will be happy you kept your powder dry
[09:16] {magoo} vad, if we do get decent reversal, lets keep eye on usualsRIMM, AAPL
[09:16] {Threei} those, yes,
[09:16] {Threei} plus DELL, NVDA
[09:16] {Threei} maybe solars although this sector is not very clear
[09:17] {GeoArb} hey vad I updated to 5.3.332 and cant login anymore :( any ideas?

[09:18] {Threei} oh btw, got e-mail from bruce
[09:18] {Threei} hello to everyone
[09:18] {Threei} and this observation:
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you
[09:19] {Threei} will have $49.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have
[09:19] {Threei} $33.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you
[09:19] {Threei} will have $0.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei}
[09:19] {Threei} But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the
[09:19] {Threei} beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have
[09:19] {Threei} received a $214.00.
[09:19] {Threei}
[09:19] {Threei} Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily &
[09:19] {Threei} recycle. In the States it's called the 401-Keg.

[11:42] {Threei} DNDN is crazy
[11:43] {esemde} Does anyone have a good idea re the percent of a float thats short will cntribute to a major short squeeze

[11:43] {Threei} you mean where to find it?
[11:43] {Threei} oh... nah, there is no guideline
[11:43] {esemde} no.......just % of float short
[11:44] {esemde} NVDA is 9.84% short one of the biggest ones....if it ever turns around it will be big
[11:45] {esemde} how do you keep kicking the crap out of a company that basically has no debt.....and billions in cash hanging around for R&D
[11:45] {Threei} doesn't matter ese... it just goes with market at this point

[11:50] {Threei} for the balance that is
[11:50] {Threei} and we are 8 for 10
[11:50] {Threei} or 7 for 9?

[12:14] {Threei} or agree
[12:14] {Threei} or both
[12:15] {Threei} as I said in the morning,
[12:15] {Threei} I believe we are in the process of form the bottom for a big rally
[12:15] {Threei} and this selloff is part of this process
[12:16] {Threei} and when I say big rally, I don't mean intraday one
[12:16] {Threei} I mean real one

[13:57] {Threei} Nato commanders to draw up plans to defend ex-Soviet bloc members from Russia
[13:57] {GeoArb} so is anyone going to jail?
[13:57] {GeoArb} One Lehman document among thousands reviewed by the House committee showed that four days before the bank filed for bankruptcy protection, Lehman’s compensation committee was asked to grant $20 million in “special payments” for three executives who were leaving, Mr. Waxman said. An e-mail exchange recommending a delay in bonus payments was apparently brushed aside.
[13:59] {Threei} so bonuses were granted?
[13:59] {GeoArb} Another document showed that executives were warned in a January 2008 meeting that the company was facing liquidity problems. Yet the firm moved forward with capital outlays, including $5 billion in bonuses, $4 billion in shares and $750,000 in dividend payments between 2007 and the firm’s bankruptcy filing on Sept. 15.
[13:59] {GeoArb} i thought bankruptcy had bonus clawback provisions no?
[14:04] {Threei} what if they already spend it?
[14:04] {Threei} transfered out of country
[14:04] {Threei} numbered offshore accounts

[15:27] {Threei} beautiful trade dino
[15:28] {Threei} I am not sure yet chaeron
[15:28] {Threei} by the charts configuration, very possibly,
[15:28] {Threei} but today's selling didn't have this feel of ultimate climax
[15:28] {Threei} organized liquidation rather than sheer panic
[15:29] {dino} lucky vad, but thx
[15:29] {Threei} yeah yeah, we know :)
[15:29] {GeoArb} dino i have a quote for you
[15:29] {dino} ?

[15:33] {dptl} hoping i guess
[15:33] {Threei} GE
[15:33] {Threei} pullback is interesting here for bounce
[15:35] {Threei} closer to 21 hopefully
[15:35] {Threei} and with market resumption to the upside
[15:36] {Threei} watch from here
[15:37] {Threei} in .92
[15:37] {Threei} stop .85

[15:55] {GeoArb} i didnt revenge trade GE
[15:55] {Threei} well, look at the close
[15:56] {Threei} DJI is down lousy 330 points
[15:56] {magoo} big gap tomorrow unfortunately
[15:56] {Threei} which is nothing in terms of recent volatility
[15:56] {dptl} :)
[15:56] {dino} 500 pt dji comeback
[15:56] {Threei} yup

[15:58] {Threei} frikin GE, lol
[15:58] {Threei} take care dp
[15:58] {magoo} u too dp
[15:59] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} However, if we get this hopeless bleak relentless selling pressure for a few hours,
[15:59] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} then I'd expect very strong rally in second half of the day.
[15:59] {peterg} ciao all; so vad you have 2 scenarios eh
[16:00] {Threei} at least
[16:00] {peterg} big up at open, or bleak relentless at first, followed by up
[16:00] {peterg} right
[16:00] {peterg} thks, gd day
[16:00] {Threei} no, first one was:
[16:01] {peterg} yah?
[16:01] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} ideally, we don't get rally atempts too early in the day,
[16:01] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} those would be sold.
[16:01] {Threei} OK guys, thank you all
[16:01] {Threei} have a good evening

Oct 03 2008

Session Time: Fri Oct 03 00:00:00 2008

[07:50] {magoo} morning
[07:54] {Threei} Good morning
[07:54] {magoo} vad, u see the new lasrr download?
[07:55] {Threei} yeah
[07:55] {Threei} didn't do it yet
[07:58] {magoo} me neither..alot of changes
[07:58] {magoo} is it necessary to do it?
[08:00] {Threei} not at this point I believe
[08:00] {magoo} vad, should WB trade at 7$ with deal
[08:00] {Threei} well, it's a stock deal if I understand correctly
[08:00] {Threei} not cash
[08:03] {Threei} NCC traded above 4 earlier
[08:04] {magoo} that was trade from past..as in 2 dollar stock making points
[08:23] {magoo} vad..i think the sdcenario has changed slightly
[08:23] {Threei} I'd say greatly
[08:24] {Threei} market had enough time to evaluate rescue package
[08:24] {Threei} and doesn't seem to like it very much
[08:24] {magoo} but it seems now majority expects a pop THEN drop after bill passes {assuming it does}
[08:25] {magoo} maybe to easy to expect drop
[08:25] {Threei} that was what we expected first time around
[08:25] {magoo} my time frame isshort i mean
[08:25] {Threei} now it very well could be different
[08:25] {Threei} a lot of dynamics changed since then
[08:25] {magoo} pop..small drop..then hard power up
[08:26] {Threei} that's one possibility
[08:26] {Threei} another is, just hard down
[08:26] {magoo} yea..no pop
[08:26] {Threei} really can't tell at this point
[08:27] {Threei} see, a week ago it was very different
[08:27] {Threei} reaction to package was more emotinal
[08:27] {Threei} "huge relief" kind of thing
[08:27] {Threei} now, not so much
[08:27] {magoo} agree...more people are fearful of alot of other economic issues now
[08:27] {Threei} yeah
[08:27] {magoo} regardless...we are gonna retest bottoms sometime
[08:27] {Threei} a lot of people start doubting this measure will work at all
[08:28] {magoo} but i try to figure out daily
[08:28] {magoo} because im not in
[08:28] {Threei} right
[08:28] {Threei} main problem in forecasting for us at this point is:
[08:28] {Threei} we can't really tell whether the negativity of last days is comong from lack of faith in package passing
[08:29] {Threei} or lack of faith of its working
[08:29] {Threei} if it's former, then passage will jolt the market up
[08:29] {Threei} if latter, it's big down move in any case
[08:30] {Threei} ) SEPT AVERAGE HOURLY EARNING M/M: 0.2% V 0.3%E
[08:30] {Threei} Y/Y: 3.4% V 3.6%E; AVERAGE WEEKLY HRS: 33.6 V 33.7E
[08:30] {Threei} (US) SEPT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 6.1% V 6.1%E
[08:31] {Threei} US) SEPT CHANGE IN NONFARM PAYROLLS: -159K V -105KE; CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING PAYROLLS: -61K V -57KE
[08:38] {cosmo} LINE: Cramer likes it...
[08:38] {cosmo} fyi
[08:39] {Threei} should we too?
[08:39] {cosmo} hmmm ... just be aware
[08:40] {cosmo} i guess
[08:43] {Threei} so far, watching NCC and ABK
[08:47] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:47] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:48] {esemde} morning........
[08:49] {Threei} ese :)
[08:49] {esemde} day nine of the learning curve
[08:49] {Threei} whatcha learning?
[08:49] {esemde} thought you'd nver ask
[08:49] {esemde} how to use my new macbook pro laptop
[08:49] {Threei} ah
[08:50] {Threei} can't offer any useful advice here, just cheerleading :)
[08:51] {Onix} Good morning everyone
[08:51] {esemde} onix....
[08:51] {Threei} onix :)
[08:52] {hawkfan4} fwiw Doug Kass says he is "All In"
[08:52] {Threei} as in?
[08:52] {esemde} whats this new laser download vad...mags???
[08:52] {hawkfan4} all in long
[08:52] {cosmo} in for good
[08:52] {Threei} brave man
[08:52] {esemde} whos doug kass hawk
[08:52] {Threei} just some changes in routing, ese
[08:52] {Threei} added a lot of features
[08:53] {esemde} gotcha
[08:53] {hawkfan4} fund manager, on Real Money and always on CNBC. He's been really good this year so far
[08:53] {esemde} on a crappy year......good
[08:53] {Threei} well... he bets on package passage and on market's faith in package effectiveness
[08:54] {Threei} or, he is in for a very long haul and believes that if he sits out initial losses, market will turn bullish soon enough
[08:54] {Threei} and if this is his case, I agree
[08:55] {Threei} IMO, this is exactly what is going to happen
[08:55] {hawkfan4} that's the problem with his calls, is he's willing to sit thru some initial big pain
[08:55] {Threei} the only change I would make if I were in this kind of postion:
[08:55] {Threei} I wouldn't be ALL in
[08:55] {Threei} I would take apartyial p;osition
[08:56] {Threei} and build it up to full in on drops
[08:56] {Threei} decreasing initial pain, getting better cost basis
[08:57] {Threei} but then again... if he is doing well, who am I to argue with success
[08:57] {magoo} kass usually a perma bear
[08:57] {magoo} something to consider
[08:58] {esemde} I tend to believe the downturn isn't going to be for as long as some think.......read book called "Running Money"...Doug Kesller i think was the author....basic jist of it is that the US has a huge advantage when it comes to intellectual property
[08:58] {magoo} es..laser gndt page has laser download update..not necessary to do immediately
[08:58] {magoo} but say like after close
[08:59] {esemde} lots of mafacturing jobs going elsewhere but But the R&D side is huge down in your neck of the woods
[09:02] {esemde} which brings back to the US loads of money for investment.......evens out the trade imbalance .....so on the outside
[09:02] {esemde} where it appears the outflow of money is
[09:03] {Threei} well, USD strength recently was commented on by many, and suprizing thing surfaced:
[09:03] {Threei} there is a shortage of dollars in eurozone
[09:03] {esemde} is huge it's not the case ...with all that cash coming back in for investment
[09:03] {Threei} who would havwe thought?
[09:04] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE: STRONGLY SUPPORT THE FINANCIAL RESCUE PACKAGE, URGES HOUSE TO PASS THE BILL SWIFTLY
[09:04] {esemde} was a very interesting book......one of the few I've read since coming to this board
[09:04] {Threei} we are bad influence...
[09:04] {Threei} people stop reading... shaving will be next to go
[09:05] {esemde} was not really about trading just some simple economics
[09:08] {dino} gm all, mga interesting
[09:08] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:09] {esemde} yep shaving is the next to go......I shave every 2 days now.......

[09:11] {Threei} and gives you a chance to see new faces... in the mirror
[09:11] {esemde} especially the way vad does it with a machetie
[09:11] {Threei} which is a sign of memory faading

[11:25] {Threei} ohh
[11:26] {Threei} AIG I suggested closer to .70
[11:26] {Threei} hit .74

[15:50] {dino} dji wants 10k
