[08:39] {Threei}  FAS is dropping fast
[08:40] {nemo} saw that
[08:40] {ese} is it ever
[08:41] {nemo} wow CEO up almost 30%
[08:41] {ese} ii don't see any news anywhere
[08:41] {nemo} it's the Chinese oil company
[08:42] {ese} hmmm130 to 158
[08:42] {nemo} probably reaction to India yesterday and  the breaching of the $60/barrel today

[08:43] {nemo} yeah...great to be an investor
[08:48] {ese} don't know if anyone has asked this but....FAZ is bound to hit "0"    what happens when that happens...re calibrate that index??  set it higher??
[08:49] {nemo} world ends
[08:49] {ese} ahhhhhh
[08:49] {cosmo} the end of the dollar?
[08:49] {ese} Does that index cease to exist?
[08:49] {nemo} I don't know the exact mechanics, but these ultra etfs are recalibrated every night
[08:50] {ese} every night?   how so and why?   i don't understand
[08:51] {nemo} They're designed as short-term trading vehicles.  I don't understand the exact mechanics, but that is what happens
[08:51] {ese} as hedges against existing positions
[08:52] {ese} like trading the S&P futures i would imagine
[08:53] {nemo} that would make sense.  They hold a combination of underlying stocks and options on those stocks.  I'm not sure any of these can go to zero.  It's probably an asymptotic dynamic as you get closer to zero.  Also, volatility, or lack there of is a factor in the price of the issue because volatility affects the price of the options

[11:09] {magoo} READ on EGLE
[11:10] {Threei}  same... overall, it's a swing trade candidate for a storng upward move
[11:10] {Threei}  exact entry - can't find it so far
[11:11] {magoo} dont like the swing call
[11:11] {magoo} i dont hold

[11:11] {wulff} keep your eye on CNB
[11:11] {dino} enoc
[11:11] {Threei}  market continues dropping... what i is it you want me to do? :)
[11:12] {nemo} use the force Vader
[11:12] {nemo} Oh shit, my RAM monitor is at 666
[11:12] {Threei}  in my eyes, these market retreats are nothing but pullbacks bfore another runup
[11:13] {dino} ceph
[11:13] {fernp} DRYS double bottom
[11:13] {Threei}  but atempts to find the entry points were quite futile yesterday and, so far, today
[11:13] {Threei}  gotta take it on faith, which I hate
[11:13] {jfjf64} my eyes  black  and  blue
[11:15] {jfjf64} comon a joke    lol  lol    
[11:15] {Threei}  we are obviously going through some change in the market
[11:15] {nemo} I"n your eyes, the light the heat"
[11:15] {Threei}  a few days at the beginning of such changes are always tough,
[11:15] {Threei}  as old methods stop working,
[11:16] {Threei}  new ones are not found yet
[11:16] {nemo} switch to summer but volumes this morning are reasonable
[11:16] {Threei}  this is not a switch to summer
[11:16] {Threei}  this is witch in market mood
[11:16] {Threei}  amajor mode I would say
[11:16] {chinggis} any read on SKS vad?
[11:17] {Threei}  not really...
[11:18] {chinggis} ok ty
[11:19] {ese} have to go teach a class....see you in about an hour or so

[11:27] {dino} where do all of these people go away too?
[11:28] {nemo} seeing dead people again?
[11:28] {Threei}  what people?
[11:28] {Threei}  let's see:
[11:29] {chinggis} GIL
[11:29] {Threei}  if today is repeat of yesterday, and so far it looks very similar,
[11:29] {Threei}  we will bottom out after a few shakeouts
[11:29] {nemo} fas scalp @ 3:30
[11:29] {Threei}  and resume runup
[11:29] {Threei}  problem is, attempts to find the turning point have no technicals under them,
[11:30] {Threei}  so there is no way to tell just how many shakeouts we get inti
[11:30] {Threei}  that's what killed yesterday
[11:30] {dino} lol nemo
[11:30] {Threei}  so, the question you need o answer for yourself is:
[11:30] {Threei}  continue trying or wait the whole thing out
[11:30] {nemo} do you feel lucky?
[11:31] {nemo} sorry, "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
[11:31] {dino} the way i see it is simple....they got it, i want it
[11:31] {Threei}  if former, EGLE .30 break
[11:32] {Threei}  FAS pullback under .30
[11:32] {nemo} nice segue Vad
[11:32] {dino} v bounce
[11:33] {Threei}  HBAN with stop under .80
[11:33] {Threei}  all those are your trades if your pick is to try
[11:33] {dino} aipc pop
[11:35] {Threei}  DRYS .26
[11:35] {Threei}  game plan:
[11:36] {Threei}  those who went for EGLE, stop under .20, aim to sell half closer to .50
[11:36] {dino} v sm l .00
[11:36] {Threei}  hold half for break
[11:36] {Threei}  if you are a purebreed scalper, you know what to do without my narrative
[11:37] {nemo} stop for drys
[11:37] {Threei}  HBAN, aim to sell half between .95 and 5
[11:37] {Threei}  DTYS, either undcer .20 or under .15, depending on your objectives
[11:37] {nemo} what if you're a braindamaged mutt?
[11:38] {Threei}  profit taking on DRYS is between .35 and .40 for the first half
[11:40] {dptl} in drys
[11:43] {nemo} egle strong drys not

[11:47] {Threei}  FED COMMENTS ON TARP PAYMENT REQUESTS; FIRST REPONSE OVER REPAYMENTS TO COME ON MONDAY, JUNE 8; MONTHLY COMMENTS THEREAFTER
[11:48] {magoo} crazy,,never heard of u cant pay it back
[11:48] {Threei}  if you owe me and I want control over you... I want you to keep moneyrather than to pay me back
[11:48] {Threei}  you paid back, you are free
[11:50] {Threei}  let's see EGLE

[11:50] {chinggis} EGLE break of hod buyable vad?
[11:51] {Threei}  usually this one if much better on pullbacks
[11:52] {Threei}  that's qwhy I called it off .30 rather than .50

[13:05] {Threei}  my problemn is different
[13:05] {Threei}  as I described it before
[13:05] {dino} v stopped -.15
[13:05] {Threei}  attempts to catch the turnaround take many small cuts
[13:05] {Threei}  they are small but they are many
[13:05] {nemo} Yes.
[13:06] {Threei}  that's why I made a point to present it as discretionary decision
[13:06] {nemo} yes
[13:06] {Threei}  either try when it starts turning around and be ready to take those cuts,
[13:06] {Threei}  or sit it out until market finalizes changes and we get firm read on it again
[13:07] {Threei}  as a ray brightening the day, just got this e-mail:
[13:07] {nemo} still in the middle of lunch too
[13:07] {Threei}  Vad,
[13:07] {Threei}  Just wanted to say again how grateful I am for your program. I've been going with the program and my plan, adjusting it as I go, and it just works! I don't even worry about things anymore, I just trade my plan. Yes at times I take some losses, but I actually seem to love those small losses, and that is weird, compared to previous state I used to have.
[13:07] {Threei}  The gains are much larger and without worries that I used to have. I haven't been able to get to this state of mind and these kinds of results with any other system or educational materials. You seem to have touch on the perfect points that made it click for me!
[13:07] {Threei}  I really appreciate it!
[13:07] {Threei}  I skip the name
[13:08] {dino} very nice vad, good job
[13:09] {Threei}  yeah, this kind of things makes me feel I do it for some good purpose
[13:09] {nemo} Hey, I only take paper cuts now compared to before coming here.  
[13:09] {dino} itri spikes again
[13:09] {nemo} did they have earnings today?
[13:10] {nemo} Plus, the structured exits keep my greed from losing me more
[13:11] {nemo} Although, I'm not sure you're supposed to have this much fun
[13:11] {dino} then get mad
[13:11] {Threei}  see, main thing is:
[13:11] {nemo} Dino...in my other pursuits when I'm mad, I'm having fun
[13:12] {Threei}  most of you here watch me doing it for years, some for months
[13:12] {nemo} I tracked your daily log for a looong time
[13:12] {Threei}  anyone saw a setback I wouldn't recover from in just a few days?? :)
[13:13] {nemo} No...what amazed me was the run from last Summer through the end of the year.
[13:13] {Threei}  just don't take any of those as more than pullback
[13:13] {fernp} nope
[13:13] {Threei}  nothing happens without pullbacks, setbacks, retreats
[13:13] {magoo} HEY..i askeed u not topost that he  he
[13:14] {Threei}  no trend goes without pullbacks,
[13:14] {nemo} what? pictures of Mags? now that's pornography
[13:14] {Threei}  no good runs occur without bad days
[13:14] {Threei}  yin and yang anyone?
[13:14] {nemo} It ain't about the celebrating, it's what you do when you get knocked down
[13:14] {Threei}  oneness of opposites?
[13:14] {Threei}  excatly
[13:15] {Threei}  you shrug, dust yourself off and go kick a$$
[13:15] {nemo} Don't know what good is unless you have bad by which to measure it
[13:15] {Threei}  there you go
[13:16] {Threei}  this is so ingrained, I don't even see the need to talk about it to say honestly,
[13:16] {Threei}  but when you guys start crying about couple days of stops
[13:16] {nemo} For you yes, although, repetition is the mother of all teaching
[13:16] {Threei}  I start feeling like giving lecture
06[13:16] * nemo crawls into his cave
[13:16] {Threei}  because I know magoo hates hose
[13:17] {Threei}  and I enjoy making him suffer
06[13:17] * nemo closes door
