[12:06] {Threei} yeah... questionable proposition
[12:07] {Threei} look at CAT break attempt
[12:07] {larisa} real fight at .95 just can not do it
[12:07] {nemo} cat had volume spike on last red, could be a top
[12:08] {nemo} that last green volum spike couldn't maintain any momentum
[12:09] {nemo} that overnight gap in DRYS worries me also

[12:14] {Threei} if you firmly decide to get on one of these steady climbers, you'd do better with PALM
[12:14] {dino} yes es
[12:14] {dino} report is not bad at all, more like strike messing w/it
[12:16] {jfjf64} cat breaks 37
[12:16] {nemo} wow lunchtime breakouts
[12:16] {nemo} figures
[12:16] {nemo} gpro moving
[12:16] {larisa} best play on CAT was off .80, not breakout. struggling too much
[12:17] {Threei} right
[12:17] {dptl} best one was off .30 :)
[12:18] {nemo} dork

[12:23] {dino} there is a "rule of law" isn't there?
[12:24] {Threei} tends to lose in court of popular opinion lately it seems
[12:24] {dino} in yobamas' world i loan you $ but you don't have to pay me back
[12:24] {Threei} Atlas Shrugged
[12:25] {dino} yes
[12:25] {Threei} I mentioned this analogy when the whole thing was just starting... looks more and more like direct quotes from there every day
[12:26] {Threei} look at SQNM flatlining just under .20
[12:26] {Threei} volume all but disappeared
[12:26] {Threei} this one is a candidate for a run closer to eod
[12:27] {Threei} we will have hopefuls for recovery buying for possible for gap... and dp will be drunk
[12:27] {dino} gpro maybe off of .00
[12:28] {Threei} consider buying .20 break and holding for retest of .40 at least
[12:28] {Threei} could take a few tries
[12:28] {Threei} just feels to me there are less sellers left on it than buyers
[12:28] {Threei} washout was very good yesterday
[12:29] {Threei} and the way it exploded today and sustained next stage of the move fits
[12:29] {dptl} where would be stop if it takes .20?
[12:30] {Threei} if sets up from here, under /15
[12:30] {dino} not touching it
[12:30] {Threei} PALM finally decent pullback
[12:30] {Threei} I want to keep stop tight on it dp, in order to be able to try a few times if it makes false start
[12:31] {dptl} ok ty
[12:32] {dino} now i see the reason for the brandy
[12:32] {Threei} lol
[12:32] {dptl} lol
[12:32] {Threei} can't believe it took you so long dino, and can't believe you even neded any reason
[12:33] {Threei} the very existence of good brandy or single malt is the reason in and of itself
[12:33] {dino} sometimes i just expect too much
[12:33] {Threei} we wll tend to overdo things...
[12:33] {dino} lphi
[12:34] {Threei} you expect too much... nemo worries too much... dp drinks too much...
[12:34] {dptl} how much is to much?
06[12:34] * Threei slaps dptl around a bit with a large bottle of 12 years old Glenlivet

[14:16] {jfjf64} gm me entry boss
[14:16] {Threei} two ways
[14:16] {Threei} one is just buy and keep very tight stop
[14:16] {Threei} under 11
[14:16] {Threei} let's say buy .04
[14:17] {Threei} another is, wait for it to make couple moves between 11 and 11.05
[14:17] {Threei} then buy break
[14:17] {Threei} in first case, risk of not working is higher
[14:17] {wulff} another is hire someone to do it for you
