[05:21] {Threei} FED CUTS TARGET RATE 0.75 PCT TO 3.50%
[05:22] {Threei} 60 points jump NQ in 3 min
[05:23] {hawkfan4} they're just trying to ruin a perfectly good crash
[05:23] {Threei} no kidding
[05:30] {dino} gm all
[05:31] {Threei} dino :)
[05:31] {patience} morning RT, you missed a profitable day on the toronto market yesterday
[05:32] {dino} go ahead rub it in, :)
[05:32] {patience} well....vad showed up to chat briefly but i was trading alone to the rolling stones
[05:33] {dino} gj patience
[05:33] {patience} laughing, today will be good
[05:33] {dino} should be, a bit of chaos
[05:34] {dino} thought we had a black swan on our hands earlier
[05:34] {Threei} we would if not for this intervention
[05:34] {Threei} still may
[05:34] {dino} indeed
[05:34] {Threei} even with this cut and market jump, there are a lot of margin call sales lurking
[05:35] {Threei} and a lot of "let's dump while there is a rally" sellers
[05:35] {Threei} scared by constant barrage of "this is bear market that is here to stay" heandlines
[05:36] {Threei} FED'S POOLE: DID NOT VOTE FOR CUTS, DID NOT THINK JUSTIFIED AHEAD OF JAN 29-30 MEETING
[05:36] {Threei} I agree with him
[05:37] {Threei} knee-jerk reaction that is likely to make things worse
[05:37] {dino} problem is, they are expecting another cut in 7 days
[05:38] {Threei} that's bad
[05:38] {Threei} at the moment when it would really make a difference they are going to be out of ammo
[05:38] {dino} thats what i'm thinking
[05:39] {dino} brb
[05:39] {Threei} and it smacks of desperation too much
[05:40] {Threei} effect is going top be lessened by darl emotions prevailing in the markets,
[05:41] {Threei} and when the crowd is ready, feds won't be there with real help since they spent their capital reacting on market moves which is not their mandate
[05:43] {Threei} for those who for this or that reason is interested in Cnada:
[05:43] {Threei} (CA) PREVIEW: BANK OF CANADA INTEREST RATE DECISION EXPECTED AT 9:00AM ET (14:00 GMT)
[05:43] {Threei} - Note: The surprise move by the FED earlier today is increasing speculation that perhaps the BOC could lower interest rates by more than 25bp
[05:43] {Threei} I suggest to cut by .5 and play "who outcuts who"
[05:44] {Threei} be back in 5
[05:47] {cosmo} QID pre mkt high = 53 fyi
[05:48] {cosmo} ... maybe another rate cut... hehe
[05:50] {Threei} today?? :)
[05:50] {cosmo} whynot?
[05:50] {magoo} morning
[05:50] {Threei} magoo :)
[05:54] {Threei} NQ sold off almost to where it was before rate cut
[05:55] {Threei} likely to bounce soon
[05:55] {Threei} this is a good moment for another rate cut cos :)
[05:56] {cosmo} Canada next?
[05:56] {Threei} yes
[05:56] {cosmo} thx
[05:59] {Threei} futs agree with me... if fed wanted to fix market, timing is bad
[05:59] {Threei} and if they, as they claim, want to fix overall situation in economy, why the emergency
[06:00] {cosmo} human nature?
[06:00] {Threei} (CA) BANK OF CANADA CUT INTEREST RATES BY 25BP TO 4.00%, AS EXPECTED
[06:00] {cosmo} not enough...sigh
[06:01] {dptl} good morning all
[06:01] {Threei} dp :)
[06:07] {bruce} how to trade today?
[06:07] {bruce} market will be very volatile
[06:08] {Threei} lightlty
[06:09] {Threei} high running emotions, big waves, quite possible order execution issues
[06:09] {bruce} can we go short ben bernanke?
[06:09] {Threei} keep calm and stay away from anything that is likely to hurt much if goes wrong
[06:10] {Threei} this is the day that is going to be regarded as historic, kind of how we mention crash of 1987
[06:11] {Threei} unlike that one though, this is not likely to be over quickly
[06:11] {cosmo} unless there's a halt
[06:11] {Threei} days like this are enticing you by mirage of big money to make
[06:11] {Threei} and much more likely to hurt you badly if you are overly active
[06:11] {bruce} big money? - thats for me
[06:12] {esemde} morning...what happenin
[06:12] {magoo} historic...but...as in the opportune time to go long or a suckers entry...??i dunno
[06:12] {Threei} ese :)
[06:12] {magoo} open mind
[06:12] {bruce} we're discussing end of world ese
[06:13] {esemde} futures down big...
[06:13] {Threei} thread lightly, use your natural advantage over investors:
[06:13] {cosmo} waiting to see global rate cuts here...
[06:13] {Threei} unlike them, you do NOT have to trade
[06:13] {Threei} they habve no choice, they are in the markets
[06:13] {Threei} you do, you can stay on a sideline while there is blood on the street
[06:14] {Threei} don't feel like you have participate in each and every battle
[06:14] {Threei} money not lost is money made on a day like this
[06:15] {Threei} see how futs returned to pre-cut level?
[06:15] {bruce} yes - noticed that already
[06:15] {Threei} this is a good sign that it's going to get worse before it gets better
[06:15] {bruce} not a good sign for a bounce
[06:15] {bruce} blood on the streets
[06:16] {Threei} don't be anxious to jump in, adopt liberating state of mind
[06:16] {cosmo} QID relaxing ... needs to break 51.50
[06:16] {Threei} which for today is:
[06:16] {bruce} does this affect your entry's dino?
[06:16] {Threei} everyone is losing money left and right, I am the lucky one, I can wait for the clearer moment to pounce
[06:17] {bruce} bigger stops today vad?
[06:17] {Threei} no way as far as I am concerned
[06:18] {Threei} with this volatility and possible execution problem, it can turn much worse than you imagine
[06:19] {Threei} no profit is too small today, any money made is to be framed, hang on the wall and labeled "made on a day when the world lost"
[06:19] {patience} largest aussi brokerage had to shut down for 30 minutes, traded in 1 hour what they normally trade in 1 day
[06:19] {patience} i don't expect great performance from my brokerage in the first hour
[06:20] {Threei} even the sharpest brokerage can be affected easily today
[06:20] {Threei} bottleneck can be beyond their sphere of influence
[06:20] {Threei} grab the popcorn, enjoy the show, thread lightly
[06:21] {Threei} wear "I am detached observer" cap
[06:21] {cosmo} when in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
[06:21] {esemde} this a good day to short stuff Vad
[06:21] {Raven} lol cosmo :)
[06:22] {cosmo} :)
[06:22] {Raven} sheesh
[06:22] {Threei} maybe ese... maybe not... stuff is down huge,
[06:22] {Threei} likerly to go down more
[06:22] {Threei} but direction is not the main theme for today
[06:22] {Threei} volatility is
[06:23] {Threei} view any call made today as optional
[06:24] {magoo} is there a limit to reach where they? can halt US markets?
[06:24] {Threei} you are likely to perform better today if you take all this as fun rather than attempts to make money
[06:24] {magoo} that would be a nightmare caught short position,
[06:24] {patience} yup, every 1000 points, dow rules apply
[06:24] {patience} down 4000 and they shut the door for the day
[06:24] {Threei} don't remember circut breaker rules for NASDAQ
[06:25] {magoo} they let it tank 4000 points before shutdown entire day??
[06:25] {Threei} http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader/help/circuitbreaker.stm
[06:26] {esemde} no confidence in Ber nackers abviously....today
[06:26] {patience} yes magoo
[06:26] {Threei} NASDAQ has agreed, upon the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to halt domestic trading in all NASDAQ® securities and all equity and equity-related OTC securities should the NYSE declare a market-wide trading halt
[06:26] {magoo} wow
[06:26] {bruce} is that an announcement vad?
[06:27] {Threei} ?
[06:27] {Threei} The point-decline thresholds at which trading is halted change every quarter, so that those thresholds may accurately reflect the current market. The thresholds are percentage-based levels of 10%, 20%, and 30% declines in the Dow. The actual numerical points will be determined based on the state of the market each calendar quarter. For the first quarter of 2008, as shown in the table above, the thresholds are 1350-, 2700-, and 4000-point de
[06:27] {Threei} I showed link above bruce
[06:27] {Threei} this is rules under which markets operate
[06:27] {bruce} k

[10:34] {bruce} don't know wht to do diferently dino- jst taking room trades
[10:34] {bruce} k - flip side is open is biggest moves too
[10:34] {bruce} anyway - hangin in there
[10:34] {dino} i told you, i sized down and it worked, wider stops
[10:35] {bruce} I sized down too - kee[ing losses smaller
[10:35] {dino} have you widened stops then?
[10:35] {Threei} last few trades took today in green
[10:36] {bruce} I use vads stops on his plays

[10:37] {dino} on my types size it down they are going much further than normal, both ways
[10:37] {magoo} u missed vads last 2 bruce? pets & csiq?
[10:37] {bruce} Itrade smaller on your plays dino and set wider stops
[10:37] {dino} good
[10:37] {bruce} bigger size with vad w his stops
[10:37] {bruce} doesn't matter
[10:37] {bruce} if I take trade it fails
