Jul 07 2009

Nice day with RIMM and WFC longs, then RIMM short - all for good siezeable gains, and just couple small stops. Nothing to complain about.

[10:11] {Threei} stop to .15
[10:12] {Threei} Strength in healthcare stocks (particularly HMOs) attributed to further chatter today about Democrats moving closer to striking deals on healthcare plans
[10:12] {Threei} - WSJ reported this morning that the White House Chief of Staff said reiterated that the Administration is willing to be flexible on healthcare reform as long as the deal gets done. He stated that "the goal is to have a means and a mechanism to keep the private insurers honest", but that the path to achieving the goal is negotiable.
[10:12] {Threei} - further overnight, following up on reports from last month, word came that hospitals are getting closer to an agreement with the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee Max Bauchus (D). The latest report indicates hospitals are willing to agree to lower than expected payments for Medicare and Medicaid.
[10:12] {Threei} - overnight, Senator Grassley did question the timing of any healthcare bill, stating the vote may not come in the Senate before the August recess as has been targeted, but he still expect the legislation to pass this year.

[11:14] {dino} qcom sm l .25
[11:15] {dino} met l .24
[11:21] {Threei} Two people familiar with closed-door talks by committee Democrats said a House bill probably will include a surtax on incomes exceeding $250,000, as Congress seeks ways to pay for changes to a health-care system that accounts for almost 18 percent of the U.S. economy.

[11:36] {dptl} lol
[11:36] {nemo} How'd you know I wear Depends?
[11:36] {nemo} too much info, huh?
[11:37] {johnnyj} incontenance is common job related issue with daytraders
[11:37] {dino} nasty
[11:37] {Threei} how come I learn so much every day in this room...
[11:38] {ese} incontenance....huh?

[11:39] {johnnyj} .70 RIMM important imo
[11:39] {ese} hang on a seceond........be back in a second....have to go to the bathroom
[11:39] {Threei} I should have put it this way: I learn a lot of things I never wanted to...
[11:39] {jfjf64} ditto
[11:40] {Threei} oh, and somehow nemo is a prevalent supplier of those bits of information, lol
[11:40] {jfjf64} trout for all
[11:40] {ese} nemo "IS" a bit of information

[11:41] {Raven} {}
[11:41] {Threei} you tell them Raven
[11:41] {Raven} }{
[11:41] {Threei} I lost hope
[11:41] {Threei} they are insufferable
[11:42] {jfjf64} hpq s.99
[11:42] {johnnyj} aapl Vad? any feels?
[11:43] {Threei} it's mirroring market and RIMM...
[11:43] {Threei} I wouldn't be opening new short position here
[11:43] {Threei} and don't feel it's safe to go for a bounce
[11:43] {jfjf64} hpq vad
[11:43] {johnnyj} thx
[11:44] {Threei} same comment jf
06[11:44] * nemo feels abused
[11:44] {Threei} riding existing short with half protected is one thing
[11:44] {jfjf64} ty
[11:44] {Threei} opening new p;osition is very different
[11:44] {Threei} welcome to my world nemo
[11:45] {Threei} watch what RIMM does here to get a feeling for what I mean
[11:46] {Threei} bounce would not be a good play here obviously,
[11:46] {Threei} but general weakness while causes some new downticks, is not enougyh to open short
[11:47] {Threei} meanwhile, if you have half of position opened 25 cents ago, and other half is already protected, it feels reasonable and safe
[11:47] {Threei} (US) Rep Hoyer: Need to be open to possibility of additional fiscal stimulus spending (related EUR/USD )
[11:47] {Threei} what the deuce
[11:47] {Threei} are they sane?
[11:48] {nemo} They'll just print more, and no they aren't
[11:48] {nemo} Economic idiots
[11:48] {Threei} this "stimulus" isn't realized and part that is hasvn't done anything,
[11:48] {Threei} so let's do another one
[11:49] {nemo} well, the stimulus bill was only that in name. It basically restored spending the Bush admin had cut. Also the "stimulus bill" is spread over 10 years
[11:49] {Threei} now nemo... why would you type "economic" in front of perfectly valid definition?
[11:49] {jfjf64} mean while chargin consumer 27 percent on bank cards
[11:49] {Threei} 1:2 RIMM
[11:49] {johnnyj} 1/2 out RIMM
[11:50] {johnnyj} lunch is tough hour
[11:50] {Threei} and yet... trades are working
[11:50] {ese} OK....i give up.......seems to be no reason for down market today.......whats all of YOUR considered opinions?
[11:50] {johnnyj} yes
[11:51] {Threei} feel for breakdown coming helped
[11:51] {johnnyj} do not look for reasons..
[11:51] {Threei} ese... since when market needs a reason?
[11:51] {jfjf64} depends how ya spend lunch hour
[11:51] {ese} true
[11:51] {ese} so we could be heading for another up day by the end of it
[11:52] {ese} turnaround tuesday as dino puts it
[11:52] {Threei} technically speaking and looking at daily,
[11:52] {jfjf64} yup
[11:52] {nemo} Ahhh, the economy...errr...can't say that...ah..let's see...yes...funnels a pressure differential through a confined orifice
[11:53] {Threei} we formed something like head and shoulders (mind you, questionable anatomy from beauty point of view),
[11:53] {jfjf64} dont forget coverage on michael
[11:53] {nemo} geez...we're really going off the track today
[11:53] {Threei} and forming something like inverted C&H (again, no china master would be proud)
[11:54] {johnnyj} missed qcom quality dump
[11:54] {Threei} lower high too
[11:54] {ese} who is belle? We ran into here infront of the disney castle yesterday
[11:54] {johnnyj} great flag there
[11:55] {ese} Michael Jackson funeral.........that would drive the market down....
[11:56] {nemo} oy...ese...go play
[11:56] {_kenyee} when you call a trade the stop is if 'below x price' for short and 'above x price' for long, is that correct?
[11:56] {johnnyj} GOOG under 400 is interesting bellweather to me
[11:57] {Threei} opposite
[11:57] {Threei} if you short, stop is above resistance
[11:57] {Threei} if long, below support
[11:58] {johnnyj} market is moonwalking
06[11:58] * nemo slaps johnnyj around a bit with a large copy of Thriller
[11:58] {magoo} explain jonny
[11:58] {johnnyj} vinyl hurts
[11:58] {jfjf64} lol
[11:58] {Threei} stop is exit on a loss side... profit taking is exit of positive side
[11:59] {johnnyj} moonwalking.... aimed forward... moving back
[11:59] {_kenyee} for RIMM when you said 'under .15' what did you mean?
[11:59] {nemo} if RIMM stays under 68.15 that was the stop
[11:59] {Threei} [11:30] {Threei} if stays under .15
[11:59] {Threei} meaning:
[11:59] {Threei} .15 is resistance level,
[11:59] {_kenyee} ty
[11:59] {Threei} if it gets broken before trade is triggered - trade is invalidated
[11:59] {Threei} if after - trade is stopped
[12:00] {jfjf64} vad i thought ya hv sm MJ music playin in backround today for ya students

[12:59] {Threei} Clean Energy Fuels Strength attributed to upcoming debate on Natural Gas fuel bill in the US Senate
[12:59] {Threei} - in a note earlier today, Lazard noted "the Senate version of the NAT GAS Act is expected to be introduced on Wednesday, by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT).
[12:59] {Threei} The bill is expected to be similar to the House of Representatives New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act of 2009 (NAT
[12:59] {Threei} GAS Act; HR 1835), introduced in April of this year, calling for an extension of the vehicle and station tax credit as well as the natural gas fuel credit."
[12:59] {Threei} - CNLE may also be getting a boost from an appearance by one of its largest sharesholders, T. Boone Pickens, on CNBC this morning, once again touting his plans for natural gas as an alternative fuel source for cars.
[13:00] {Threei} internal contradiction for me... I like the natural gas idea and I hate to go along with Pickens, lol
