Monday, July 20, 2009

A bit boring day with some excitement injected by HGSI monstrous move. Between WFC, RIMM and HGSI on all sides we had a profitable day - not big but I'll take what I get in the summer. Feels like some strom is brewing though. Also, check out new addition to the website: http://www.realitytrader.com/photography/ . Self-explanatory.

[13:18] {Threei} sure it dfropped into 1:1 level again,
[13:18] {Threei} but market dropped much more
[13:19] {BillyD} it's in its own world

[13:19] {BillyD} .80 suuport is strong
[13:19] {Threei} yeah
[13:19] {Threei} I guess I'll leave it alone
[13:19] {BillyD} RIMM bdn maybe 75
[13:20] {Threei} want a bounce first
[13:20] {Threei} and staying under .15

[13:26] {BillyD} take trigger even if mkt doesn't breakdown?
[13:26] {Threei} Prez on TV
[13:26] {Threei} well, unless market spikes
[13:26] {Threei} then it would be a trap
[13:26] {BillyD} ok
[13:27] {Threei} imagine: market spikes, RIMM breaks 75 quickly,
[13:27] {Threei} I'd rather be a buyer on spike down :)
[13:27] {Threei} and profiting from trap shutting on non-observant shorters
[13:28] {Threei} when RIMM spikes on them
[13:28] {BillyD} true
