Oct 12 2009

Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010
Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

The day started bleakly - slow, with two 10 cents stops on AKAM and WFC, and looked like one of those "why did I bother to wake up today." VVUS 23 cents win made it a bit better - and then ENER for 20 cents and most of all DRIV for full dollar run made the day nice and bright


Session Time: Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 2009

[09:27] {ese} am surprised the ceo of vrsk has come out with a statement tanking the stock a little more
[09:27] {Threei} let's sit on the shore and see what swims by
[09:27] {ese} indeed
[09:31] {Threei} Long Setup: AKAM .42
[09:31] {Threei} if stays above .30

[09:58] {nemo} it's looking right
[09:58] {nemo} see if it develops a .25-.30 range?
[09:58] {Threei} a bit too tight for it...
[09:59] {Threei} ideally, it would dive closer to .20 one last time,
[09:59] {Threei} so we would get it with stop under .15
[09:59] {Threei} then makrt spike, and WFC .30 break
[09:59] {Threei} if it jst goes from here, it's again same setup...
[09:59] {dino} v thin sm l clw .66

[14:09] {Threei} - The measure seeks to require California utilities to buy power from solar-panel generators of 1.5-3.0 megawatts in size, at set rates above what utilities would pay for wholesale power from conventional sources.
[14:10] {dino} just what californians need, higher electric bills in top of other issues

[15:46] {dino} fwiw worth, i am mostly a contrarian trader, be careful on my calls, wider stops than most
[15:46] {_bkhmd} thanks I was watching for tha past couple weeks I noticed wide spreads
[15:47] {_bkhmd} after the trading log was posted i would go back and try to identify where everyone was entering and asking myself why
[15:47] {_bkhmd} learned alot form that
[15:47] {dino} smaller size wider spreads, usually thinner volume
[15:47] {dino} not typical for most
