Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010

Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

Another slow but profitable day. Most plays were on usual suspects. Even such normally balls of fire as AIG took literally hours to resolve some of plays.

[10:22] {magoo} not luvin it

[10:23] {Threei} you know what... let's make it strict play from here

[10:23] {Threei} move stop to under .60

[10:23] {Threei} if it fails it fails

[10:24] {Threei} HIG too

[10:24] {Threei} new lows are likelty here

[10:24] {Threei} let's sit it out

[10:25] {Threei} (US) Pres Obama to spend approx $5B as part of job creation projects

[10:25] {nemo} Yeah, if oil builds are excessive this could really tank

[10:25] {Threei} aren';t you glad he has deep pockets

[10:25] {nemo} I don't have very many more pounds of flesh to contribute

[10:25] {Threei} sorry nemo, your logic escapes me

[10:26] {nemo} which logic

[10:26] {nemo} oil

[10:26] {Threei} excessive oil duils - bad for the market?

[10:26] {Threei} builds

[10:26] {Threei} mags... glad we tightened stop?

[10:26] {Threei} don't enter that far from support next time, deal?

[10:27] {nemo} well if the Chicago numbers tanked the market, might further reinforcement of energy builds hammer it harder?

[10:27] {magoo} yea

[10:27] {Threei} chicago numbers were bad

[10:27] {Threei} how a lot of oil in reserves is bad?

[10:27] {nemo} means energy not being used...takes energy to run economy

[10:27] {nemo} might just confirm and do nothing

[10:27] {Threei} that is if you look backward

[10:27] {nemo} or...

[10:28] {Threei} if you look forward, it's an oil price killer

[10:28] {Threei} which is good

[10:28] {nemo} for the consumer, yes

[10:28] {Threei} which way market choses to look at it - totally mood dependent

[10:28] {Threei} right, and consumer is major concern

[10:28] {Threei} but anyway, we will know very soon

[10:29] {nemo} waiting with baited breath

[10:29] {nemo} wonder where that saying came from?

[10:29] {Threei} 30 seconds

[10:30] {nemo} the stress is unbelievable

[10:33] {Threei} demon seed

[10:33] {Threei} ok... saved by the kind girl again, but keep in mind:

[10:33] {Threei} we have 4 ladies in the room now,

[10:33] {Threei} so as Banderas said in Four Rooms,

[10:33] {Threei} Don't misbehave!

[10:34] {nemo} me....never

[10:35] {Threei} can't get a feel here, bounce or stall

[10:35] {nemo} not that I'm qualified, but lookin at the spy and the Q's you have to wonder if they're quasi-bear flags

[10:36] {Threei} this is my feeling

[10:36] {Threei} but if NQ breaks over 1700 here, sizeable bounce is likely to start

[10:37] {Threei} ok, who is in the mood to start trying for bounce,

[10:37] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .80 break

[10:37] {Threei} if stays above .70

[10:38] {Threei} if loses .70, play is different:

[10:38] {ese} not quasi.....imo....they are

[10:38] {Threei} let's look for double bottom off .60

[10:39] {nemo} just qualifying ese

[10:39] {Threei} also,

[10:39] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .30 break

[10:40] {Threei} don't chase, let' it pull back

[10:40] {Threei} there

[10:40] {Threei} next break is entry

[10:40] {Threei} stop is under .20 for hardcore scalpers

[10:40] {Threei} .15 for more sane ones

[10:40] {Threei} LVS invalidated

[10:44] {Threei} don't see clear setup forming on double bottom either

[10:47] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .60 break

[10:48] {nemo} big sell orers @.70

[10:48] {Threei} yup

[10:48] {Threei} want to try it aggressively?

[10:48] {Threei} with ridiculously tight stop

[10:48] {nemo} like .02?

[10:48] {Threei} above .70

[10:49] {nemo} yeah...

[10:51] {Threei} HIG formed .90 - 27 range

[10:51] {magoo} problem w/hig is l;ike yesterday..might just freeze

[10:52] {magoo} ok dip buyers come on in....

[10:52] {Threei} if makrte repeats this yesterday comatose state, so will HIG most likely

[10:52] {Threei} things run in place very fast

[10:57] {Threei} cover half LVS near support

[10:57] {Threei} take advantage of aggressive entry

[10:58] {Threei} see if we get breakdown for the balance

[11:37] {Threei} - A prolonged period of weak demand in the travel industry depressed prices across travel categories in 2009, most notably in hotel, which as an industry can not reduce capacity as well as airlines and car rental companies. Following this weakened demand in 2009, American Express Business Travel expects a pent up need for travel and meetings to be unleashed in 2010. Fuel prices, along with sustained signs of a restarting economy, could also generate slight up-ticks in travel category prices worldwide, particularly in Asia Pacific.

[12:04] {Threei} just when I thought I finally nailed exact % of idiots by this:

[12:04] {magoo} HIG ballistic

[12:04] {Threei} Only 9% Rate Economy As Good Or Excellent

Sep 25 2009

Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010

Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

Kind of mixed day - started out well with 3 wins out of 4 trades, then a few stops eliminated profits, then couple good trades on RIMM and AIG returned the day in green but just barely. Uncertain moment in the market, a lot of shakeouts on otherwise good trades - but discipline is discipline and a stop is a stop.

Session Time: Fri Sep 25 00:00:00 2009

[09:09] {Threei} there was period in Soviet Union when speeches by laders were impossible to understand... all words were familiar, and grammar was right, but meaning was somehow disappearing as they spoke

[09:10] {Threei} you'd feel you lose focus in like 45 seconds after they started

[09:10] {Threei} nice generalities with zero substance,

[09:10] {Threei} intended to create this air of seeminggly substantial,

[09:11] {Threei} but in fact absolutely empty officially sounding delivery

[09:11] {larisa} I was komsomol leader in my school, I had to write those speaches once a year for manadatory meeting. Nightmare :)

[09:13] {nemo} that's a good one

[09:13] {nemo} absolutely

[09:13] {Threei} anyone saw yesterday's episode in hearings on health care in senate committee?

[09:14] {Threei} when the chairman interruoted a senatort trying to say something

[09:56] {nemo} quote server vad

[09:56] {Threei} 11

[09:56] {Threei} as if it matters

[09:56] {Threei} justy switch

[09:56] {dino} markets don't know which way to go

[09:56] {Threei} IMO... this market bounce is entirely due to michigan numbers

[09:56] {nemo} $ falling

[09:57] {Threei} and should be faded,

[09:57] {Threei} the only xoncern is another set of umbers in 3 min

[09:57] {Threei} let's wait it out

[09:57] {nemo} $ fall has been positive for markets

[09:58] {Threei} if numbers are bad and market reverses down, LVS nearest resistance is still .80

[09:58] {Threei} if they are good and market jumps, break of .80 is ling

[09:58] {Threei} long

[09:58] {Threei} as much as it pains me to say so

[10:01] {Threei} what dino said

[10:02] {nemo} 09:59] {dino} always is nemo

[10:03] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .80 break

[10:03] {Threei} if stays above .70

[10:03] {dino} everybody expects down, w/-3.5% since wed., i vote up

[10:08] {ese} uncertainty means down in my books

[10:08] {nemo} $ down I vote up

[10:09] {ese} just for today nemo? If thats the case it may go up......in general it has to come down sometime

[10:10] {dino} thing is we are -3.5%; last 3 months thats about all itb took

[10:11] {dino} perhaps the markets over reacted too the downside by say 20% too much

[10:12] {Threei} who wants scary play?

[12:40] {dino} nvec

[12:41] {nemo} thin

[12:50] {Threei} AIG

[12:50] {Threei} pulled back almost into .50 support

[12:51] {Threei} should be bounce-worthy for a scalp soon

[12:51] {nemo} funny, today I would have looked at the break out to .95 as a pullback in the down trend :)

[12:52] {Threei} .60 break if stays above .50

[12:52] {ese} hey dino......in your estimation...what are the chances that rimm will fill the gap up first before down.my 15 min chart has a gap between 74 and 71.50....i'm long small 1k ...i'm thinkin that will happen first

[12:54] {ese} short covering rally

[13:09] {nemo} volume that is

[13:11] {Threei} AIG is pretty much random here

[13:11] {Threei} I'd leave it alone

[13:12] {Threei} short on 43.50 breakdown was pretty much the only sensible play after it failed to trigger long

[13:12] {magoo} COG vad, look

[13:13] {Threei} you saw its news?

[13:13] {Threei} Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation DEP Orders Cabot Oil and Gas to Cease All Gas Well Fracking in Susquehanna County

[13:13] {Threei} - Cabot voluntarily shut down fracking operations at the Heitsman well in Dimock Township on Tuesday afternoon following three separate spills there in less than one week. The company is currently drilling seven new wells in the county that will require fracking.

[13:13] {Threei} their fracking is seriously wrong

[13:45] {Threei} that's my feeling

[13:46] {Threei} look at NASDAQ or DOW daily

[13:46] {Threei} whether it's just a pullback before rally resumption or unsuccessful bounce,

[13:46] {Threei} hey should try here

[15:31] {Threei} and listen carefully for the signs of end

[15:32] {Threei} and back away fast

[15:32] {Threei} return to normal careful conservative trading

[15:32] {Threei} this is exactly how huge winners of tech run gave back all they made aand then some,

[15:32] {Threei} then all those oil winners

[15:33] {Threei} real estate winners

[15:33] {Threei} just like Greenspan did

[15:34] {Threei} now Ben tries to fix it

[15:34] {Threei} and Alan laughs

[15:35] {Threei} remember mags, couple weeks ago you said, while describing your aggressive plays

[15:35] {Threei} "making as much as I can while I can"

[15:35] {Threei} or something to that effect

[15:35] {Threei} "while I can" part assumed it was temporary conditions

[15:35] {Threei} momo

[15:35] {Threei} well, it's over

Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010

Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

Session Time: Thu Sep 24 00:00:01 2009

[08:04] {magoo} morning

[08:07] {Threei} Good morning

[08:07] {Threei} yawn

06[08:08] * nemo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout

[08:08] {magoo} new laser version

[08:08] {nemo} might want to let them get the kinks out before downloading

[08:09] {Threei} what's changed?

[08:09] {magoo} too much to list

[08:09] {nemo} Good Morning...Threei...I hope you're having a wonderful day :):):)

[08:09] {Threei} ok... this is spooky

[08:09] {nemo} hehehehehe

[08:09] {Threei} you can't be that drunk that early

[08:10] {nemo} Don't worry, I'll still stab you in the back if situation warrants

[08:10] {Threei} whew

[08:10] {Threei} ok, things are back to normal

[08:10] {nemo} I'll use a kinjaal too

[08:10] {nemo} Q's aren't up?

[08:13] {Threei} I think NASDAQ feed is off somewhat

[08:13] {nemo} Vad...new release allows access to TSX

[08:14] {Threei} it was available for a while

[08:14] {nemo} oh

[08:14] {Threei} jus had to apply separately

[08:14] {magoo} downloading, brbn

[08:14] {Threei} did they make it on by default?

[08:14] {Threei} ahha, we got our guinea pig

[08:14] {nemo} 2. Support for TSX data and trading - we should have this operational

[08:14] {nemo} very soon. We will have full depth of book with TSX ECN's and the ability

[08:14] {nemo} to route to each of them individually. Trades will be done in CAD in real

[08:14] {nemo} time, but will convert to USD overnight.

[08:15] {Threei} cool

[08:15] {Threei} goytta look into commissions

[08:15] {nemo} now we just need access to the asx, and we can avoid new taxes

[08:15] {nemo} yeah...commissions

[08:15] {Threei} TSX is usdually more expensive than US exchanges

[08:16] {nemo} better wake up trev about the Qs...

[08:16] {Threei} well, you have his phone number

[08:16] {Threei} want to be a first giving him this rite of passage?

[08:16] {Threei} 'cause gods know I did this to dave a few too many times

[08:17] {nemo} one

[08:17] {nemo} done

[08:17] {nemo} answering machine..bastid

[08:17] {Threei} remote or local one?

[08:18] {nemo} telus

[08:18] {Threei} ugh

[08:18] {nemo} should we call Dave?

[08:18] {Threei} virtual ones don't make sound as you speak

[08:18] {Threei} not good as waking-up-at-4am devices

[08:18] {nemo} "Dave's not here, man" Oh Oh, flashbacks

[08:19] {magoo} back

[08:19] {nemo} didn't have time to miss you

[08:19] {Threei} ok, computer is not exploding with new version

[08:19] {Threei} that much we know

[08:20] {nemo} well, QLD is working

[08:20] {Threei} ummm... because it's not NASDAQ?

[08:20] {Threei} and as I said it's NASDAQ feed that is having problems?

[08:20] {Threei} man.. pay attention will ya

[08:21] {nemo} yes...but it kinda' allows me to see what's going on with the NAS this morning

[08:21] {nemo} work for you?

[08:21] {Threei} sure

[08:21] {Threei} as does QID

[08:22] {Threei} but I simply use my NQ feed to see what's with NASDAQ :)

[08:22] {nemo} I don't have NQ.

[08:22] {magoo} i like the ARCA imbalance feature

[08:24] {Threei} what's that?

[08:24] {magoo} in alerts

[08:24] {Threei} man... you'll make me download a new one...

[08:24] {magoo} market makers need to pair off the imbalances at open and close of mktbef

[08:25] {magoo} say, bac has sell imbalance at 3:40 pm of 5 million...gives indication that it should selloff intop closes

[08:26] {Threei} have you tracked it?

[08:26] {Threei} really works as a valid alert?

[08:27] {Threei} I stuill have some real estate on my monitors, can keep this window if it's useful

[08:30] {nemo} Ya' know how that 0 down mortgage stuff was kinda' at the bottom of all the problems...

[08:30] {nemo} look at this: http://www.fundmymutualfund.com/2009/09/us-agriculture-department-handing-out-0.html

[08:32] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 530K V 550KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 6.138M V 6.183ME

[08:32] {Threei} - Prior Jobless Claims revised from 545K to 551K

[08:32] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims revised from 6.230M to 6.261M

[08:33] {Threei} mags... works fine?

[08:36] {Threei} NASDAQ feed is on

[08:36] {nemo} the'res Nas

[08:36] {magoo} yea vad..dave uses it all the time..he showed me it 3 monthsago

[08:36] {Threei} ty

[08:36] {Threei} I mean new version

[08:37] {magoo} if there are huge buy side imbalance on say wfc into open, indicate it should pop up to pair off

[08:37] {magoo} i just downloaded it

[08:37] {magoo} seems ok

[08:39] {Threei} OK... will install now

[08:39] {Threei} if you don't hear from me for the next 6 years, it's magoo's fault

[08:39] {magoo} :)

[08:40] {nemo} trevor just called

[08:40] {Threei} Euro vs US Dollar USD's tone remains soft ahead of G20; Dealers speculate that Obama administration dollar policy might mirror BOE's King view on rebalancing

[08:40] {Threei} - One dealer noting that a Goldilocks scenario would have a weak dollar policy move ata gradual pace and not fuel inflation and not affecting the bond market

[08:45] {Threei} OK

[08:46] {Threei} set up alert

[08:46] {Threei} will monitor it

[08:46] {nemo} How do you set up the alert?

[08:47] {Threei} call up the window

[08:47] {Threei} resize and place it where you need it,

[08:47] {Threei} right click,

[08:47] {Threei} manage the fonts so you can read it,

[08:47] {Threei} move columns around

[08:48] {nemo} read? oh oh

[08:48] {Threei} so those you need are at the left side

[08:48] {Threei} for instance, column saying Side

[08:48] {Threei} it's way too far to the right,

[08:48] {Threei} move it so it's rifght after the symbol

[08:49] {fernp} good morning everybody

[08:49] {Threei} make up your mind about selection methid,

[08:49] {Threei} because default is alphabet

[08:49] {Threei} fern :)

[08:49] {Threei} not sure which sort methind is the best... match volume?

[08:49] {Threei} mags?

[08:50] {Threei} or imbalance?

[08:51] {magoo} i believe total imbalance

[08:53] {magoo} this window is new too me too, so as i learn ill fill u in

[08:55] {Threei} in total imb first line is PVI

[08:55] {magoo} actually..it seems there is a very short time limit on how long u consider me "useFULL" lol

[08:58] {Threei} let me reserve my take for now

[08:58] {Threei} gotta watch a little

[08:58] {magoo} BUT man, we couild fall for several days without even changing trend from up

[09:15] {Threei} Chelsea Therapeutics Preliminary data show Phase III study of Droxidopa did not meet statistical significance in treating neurogenic orthostatic hypotension

[09:15] {Threei} * Study 302 Did Not Meet Statistical Significance on Primary Endpoint

[09:15] {Threei} * Key Secondary Endpoints Strongly Support Symptomatic Benefit

[09:15] {Threei} * Design of Second Study May Offer Significant Advantages

[09:15] {Threei} * Company Conducting Additional Data Analyses

[09:16] {nemo} weird...ctrl-f6 is just pushing windows to background

[09:16] {Threei} - CEO: "While the outcome on Item 1 of the OHSA scale did not meet the company''s expectations, our preliminary look at each of the secondary symptomatic outcome measures was encouraging and supportive of the therapeutic benefit of Droxidopa in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, we anticipate a more comprehensive review of the data will help determine the relative impact of a higher than anticipated placebo response and what, if any, additional factors may have contributed to these unexpected result"

[12:44] {magoo} so needs to take .50 for runn

[12:44] {Threei} that's fine

[12:45] {Threei} we will scalp into that or partial

[12:45] {magoo} but scalp from .20 looks good

[12:45] {Threei} and bif offer at .20 makes break looking juicable

[14:02] {Threei} let's try it differently

[14:03] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .10 break

[14:03] {Threei} if stays under .20

[14:03] {nemo} that was quick

[14:09] {Threei} SNIC CEO: Offering streaming movies to cable TV subscribers; and movie downloads through Blockbuster

[14:10] {nemo} well, gotta' get ready to go

[14:10] {nemo} cu 2morow

[14:11] {Threei} what, not going to wait for LVS hitting 16?

[14:11] {nemo} can't

[14:11] {Threei} okay.. scalped at least?

[14:11] {nemo} .08

[14:14] {fernp} LVS I am out here TY Vad

[14:14] {Threei} :)

[14:15] {dino} 3% + drop ndx, s/p. stock moves are much bigger. lots of stuff i watch down 5-15%

[14:16] {Threei} I guess we just tend to watch more volatile stuff

[14:16] {fernp} fast sell is not working here. doesn't cancell my previous order.

[14:16] {fernp} are you using fast sell vad?

[14:16] {Threei} yes

[14:17] {Threei} what trade you use it on?

[14:17] {fernp} LVS, YRCW

[14:17] {Threei} short?

[14:17] {fernp} one short one long

[14:17] {Threei} on short it won't work

[14:17] {Threei} it's fo sell only

[14:18] {fernp} yeah

[14:18] {Threei} exiting short you buy

[14:18] {Threei} OK LVS.. break that 17

[14:18] {Threei} on long, there are two scenarios

[14:18] {Threei} one is, stosk is avaliable for shorting,

[14:18] {Threei} then fast sell works like charm

[14:18] {Threei} another is, stock is not available,

[14:19] {Threei} then your first order will be canceled but new one wqon't be entered

[14:19] {Threei} you'll see a red line saying:

[14:19] {Threei} no long position to sell

[14:19] {Threei} click second time then,

[14:19] {Threei} actual sell order will go through

[14:20] {Threei} as first one is already canceled

[14:20] {fernp} ok. thank you

[14:20] {Threei} YRCW is unavailable

[14:20] {Threei} so that's probably what happened

[14:20] {fernp} i have a msg saying you have no shares to sell

[14:20] {Threei} yup

[14:21] {fernp} but i was long 500

[14:21] {Threei} yes,

[14:21] {Threei} but you already had sell order entered

[14:21] {fernp} yes

[14:21] {Threei} so,

[14:21] {Threei} from software point of view

[14:21] {Threei} you tried to short it

[14:21] {Threei} and there are no shares to short for this partuclar stock

[14:22] {Threei} fast sell algorithm is: send new sell order, cancel first

[14:22] {fernp} ok. fast sell works ok when stock is shorteable

[14:22] {fernp} if not. better press cancell

[14:22] {Threei} if ifor that it has to have shares for short

[14:22] {Threei} no, no need to cancel

[14:22] {Threei} click sell,

[14:22] {Threei} if no shares to short, it will cancel

[14:23] {Threei} so just click sell second time

[14:23] {Threei} anyway faster than cancel, move cursor to sell button, click again

[14:23] {Threei} you are already at sell button

[14:23] {Threei} see what I mean?

[14:23] {fernp} ah, to press twice sell?

[14:23] {Threei} yup

[14:24] {fernp} THANK YOU

[14:24] {Threei} sure

[14:24] {Threei} just make sure you se that red line

[14:24] {Threei} 'cause if shares appeared whuile you held position and stock became shortable

[14:24] {Threei} you will short it by clicking twice :)

[14:25] {fernp} :) bad luck then

[14:25] {Threei} or not... if it drops :)

[12:42] {nemo} .32 is 200 period moving average

[12:43] {Threei} I don't see it trending down

[12:43] {Threei} it broke donwtrend

[12:43] {Threei} hasn't estabilshed uoptrend yet

[12:44] {Threei} but if breaks .50 with market help, I'd say up from there'

[12:44] {nemo} I agree...which...upon review...should make you take pause

[12:45] {Threei} that's OK, I am kind of prepared

[12:45] {Threei} yesterday's event pretty much prepared me for anything

[12:45] {Threei} you will find it hard to believe, I certainly do,

[12:45] {nemo} moth brain me...which event?

[12:45] {Threei} but it's truth:

[12:46] {Threei} yesterday, around 7:55 PM,

[12:46] {nemo} oh oh...green men?

[12:46] {Threei} my wife said

[13:02] {dino} csco l .00

[13:08] {Threei} I think they'll wind down those auctions before I find out what those figures mean aND HOW THEY IMPACT THE MARKET

[13:08] {Threei} the only consolation is, larisa is much smarter than I am and she doesn't know either

[13:08] {magoo} out aig

[13:08] {magoo} no work

[13:09] {Threei} downside of aggressive entires

[13:09] {Threei} I play them a bit differently though

[13:10] {Threei} I don't widen stop... tigher stop is one of their advantages, and widening it kind of negates it

[13:10] {Threei} .30 was the support

[13:10] {Threei} 120 cents stop would be negligible

[13:10] {Threei} 10

[13:46] {Threei} Preview: FOMC rate decision and statement due out around 2:15pmET

[13:46] {Threei} **rates are expected to remain on hold again at 0.25% though some speculation has started brewing this week that the committee might start to drop hints about when rates will start to rise again in order to head off inflation concerns. One ING economist today called speculation about the FOMC raising rates "madness," noting markets will react as soon as the Fed starts hinting about the timing.

[13:46] {Threei} There is also more credible speculation that the Fed could decide to alter the $1.25T MBS program today, either stretching it out as it did with the Treasury purchasing program (a de facto form of easing), or altogether reducing the MBS program as was discussed according to the minutes of the August FOMC meeting.

[13:46] {Threei} The general consensus is that the FOMC will stay conservative and hold off on any significant changes today, perhaps further noting signs of recovery while maintaining its pledge to hold rates at "exceptionally low" levels for "an extended period." This path would build on recent comments from the Fed's Bernanke who noted that the recession is "technically" over but that the economy will "feel very weak for some time."

[13:47] {Threei} Note there was also a report circulating this week that the Fed was talking with bond dealers about using reverse repos to drain some of the cash the Fed has pumped into the economy.

[13:48] {Threei} told you that was first aign of exit strategy being pondered

[13:49] {Threei} if they really possess tools to withdraw injected money, whole generally accepted idea of inflation ahead may turn out false

[13:56] {ese} have to sign out...see you all tomorow...onwards and upwards with stec.....good luck with it mags and dino

[10:01] {nemo} wth is that

[10:02] {Threei} - company will utilize a novel, patented method for cultivation, curing and preparation of tobacco to formulate dissolvable smokeless tobacco products.

[10:02] {Threei} - This new curing process was the subject of a patent application filed in December, 2008. Its use has resulted in tobacco leaf with significantly lower levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) than previously achieved using the StarCured(R) curing process: the International Agency for Research on Cancer previously has reported on the low levels of nitrosamines in Star''s products. T

[10:02] {Threei} - he company believes that this novel process, as reflected in its patent application, will enable the company to achieve the lowest toxin levels anywhere in the world. Star plans to submit the products to the FDA for approval to market as "modified risk" tobacco products, under Section 911 of the new Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, once formulation and testing of the new product is completed in early 2010.

Sep 21 2009

Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010

Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

Not bad start for the week. Scalps outweghed stops, and couple bigger plays on momentum movers made it a firmly winning day. BCRX gave very nice bounce play, CYTK and AIG provided momentum, and usual suspects (LVS, HIG etc) provided scalps and stops.

Session Time: Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 2009

Greenberg's plan includes giving AIG more time to repay its loans, cutting the interest rate on the loans, and reducing the 80% govt stake in the firm.

[12:38] {Threei} - Greenberg's plan includes giving AIG more time to repay its loans, cutting the interest rate on the loans, and reducing the 80% govt stake in the firm. Towns said AIG should not be rushed to pay back the loans if the US can get a better return on its money.

[15:04] {Threei} that's abourt it for today for AIG, IMO

[15:04] {magoo} goober.com has upgraded target AIG today to 55

[15:04] {dino} ggc

[15:07] {ese} Hi everyone........just thought that i would pop in after my staff meeting

06[15:07] * magoo slaps ese around a bit with a large trout

[15:07] {Threei} missed a few nice ones ese

[15:08] {Threei} and spectacular call by magoo on AIG

[15:09] {ese} so i'm i'm out of arna with that second trade before i left at .27 +.14 on6k and i just got out of dndn from last friday in at .50 and out at .03 +.53....so i'll se you all tomorrow

[15:10] {Threei} wanna break 5 now?

[15:12] {Threei} who took .80 break on CYTK, if you don't scalp then sure take hlf off near 5

[15:12] {Threei} half that was

[15:12] {Threei} PALM... holy cramer

[15:13] {nemo} holy and cramer in the same sentence....nahhhhh

[15:13] {Threei} how is cramer worse than let's sat mackerel?

[15:14] {nemo} it's the use of the two words...he's the investing anti-christ (with full realization that the word "investing" should not be used here

[15:14] {nemo} )

[15:19] {Threei} 5 break would be just perfect now

[15:19] {Threei} beautiful chart

[15:20] {Threei} explosive

[15:20] {magoo} AIG feels like just getting started

[15:21] {magoo} palm bounce vad?

[15:22] {nemo} cytk froze

[15:22] {Threei} need much deeper pullback

[15:23] {magoo} BAC

[15:23] {magoo} VOLUME

[15:23] {Threei} BAC Close to deal that may end loss sharing agreement - WSJ cites sources (17.37, -0.26, -1.47%)

[15:24] {nemo} that volume spike on cytk, was that the blow off?

[15:24] {Threei} not much of a price spike for that

[15:26] {Threei} - struck a deal with the govt in January that gave it loss protection on $118B of Merrill assets, but BoA said it wanted to exit the deal in May.

[15:27] {Threei} hmmm

[15:27] {Threei} so how is it good for BAC?

[15:29] {nemo} stopped cytk

[15:29] {Threei} hmm?

[15:29] {nemo} on break of 5 I entered

[15:29] {Threei} wow

[15:29] {dino} wondering the same

[15:29] {Threei} call was 4.80

[15:29] {Threei} 5 break for continuation

[15:29] {Threei} not for new entry

[15:29] {nemo} I misinterpreted

[15:29] {Threei} so it was either scalp into 6,

[15:29] {nemo} [15:19] {&Threei} 5 break would be just perfect now

[15:29] {nemo} [15:19] {&Threei} beautiful chart

[15:29] {nemo} [15:20] {&Threei} explosive

[15:29] {Threei} or half out and trail

[15:30] {Threei} so second half would be stopped b/e

[15:30] {Threei} [14:36] {Threei} same setup shapes up again

[15:30] {Threei} [14:36] {Threei} .80 break

[15:30] {magoo} first call was a beauty on it vad

[15:30] {magoo} second too btw

[15:31] {nemo} as I said, misinterpreted your prose

[15:31] {Threei} running comments

[15:31] {Threei} Market Internals update at 3:30pmET

[15:31] {Threei} - NYSE volume 850M shares, about even to its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 1.9:1.

[15:31] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 2.01B shares, about 10% above its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 1.1:1.

[15:31] {Threei} - VIX index +-0.75% to just under 24.00

[15:32] {Threei} so, after huge volume on Fri with practically no price advance, which usually rweads as distribution

[15:32] {Threei} today we get volume dropoff, with slightly negative price

[15:32] {nemo} rally continues tomorrow

[15:32] {Threei} I don't know how to connect these two

[15:33] {Threei} they asre contradictionary

[15:33] {magoo} dip buyers were impressive

[15:36] {magoo} bulls need a strong close here

[15:38] {nemo} does op ex on Friday kinda' nullify things?

[15:39] {nemo} I think it was quadruple witching hour, no?

[15:40] {dino} today, just reaction to the strike pushes from last week, imo

[15:40] {dino} bigger issue may be end of 3rd quarter.

[15:41] {dino} rino\

Something didn't feel right from the get-go. Maybe triple witching, maybe something else - but I limited most calls to half lot and to tighter stops. Good thing as stops were a bit too many. Winning trades trades didn't compensate for them at the end of the day. Gotta have a negative day once in a while, right?

Session Time: Fri Sep 18 00:00:00 2009

[08:37] {Threei} Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc In Phase III study, LORCASERIN met all primary efficacy and safety endpoints; NDA Submission on Track for December

[08:37] {Threei} - Patients achieved highly significant categorical and absolute weight loss.

[08:37] {Threei} - 63.2% of patients lost at least 5% of their body weight
