[08:42] {Threei} - scheduled for completion by December 2008, with spare parts and field support coverage continuing through mid 2009.
[08:43] {Threei} this stock is neverending story of news propping it up, then decline as if all the positive effect disappears in thin air
[08:44] {cosmo} so.. they breed a dog/cat hybread?
[08:45] {Threei} no idea, I am not good at botany
[08:45] {Threei} here goes bruce telling me that botany is plants, not animals... as if there is any difference
[08:46] {cosmo} hmmm
[08:47] {cosmo} i dunno .. a couger/mastiff combination could be very effective protection...
[08:49] {cosmo} FRPT pre mkt high = 5.11 so far

[09:21] {Threei} yup... alliswellinlalaland one day, theskyisfalling another
[09:22] {bruce} sure - but you can get a new roof on your house from the insurance coverage on that satelite debris

[09:29] {dino} onhly about 2 1/2 hours from you
[09:33] {Threei} GRMN .50 long small if holding above .30
[09:34] {Threei} still valid

[09:35] {lumdus} hoh shoot no way with that.

[09:36] {Threei} wtg
[09:39] {bruce} you want to try grmn as pullback vad?
[09:39] {Threei} wait
[09:39] {Threei} RIMM is not dropping with NQ
[09:39] {Threei} 106.15 long
[09:39] {Threei} stop under .90
[09:40] {dino} gj dp
[09:40] {Threei} out .70
[09:40] {Threei} +.53
[09:40] {dptl} thx Dino
[09:41] {Threei} anyone caught it?
[09:41] {Threei} see big red bar 9:39 NASDAQ?
[09:41] {lumdus} s wb 32.94 stop 33.03
[09:41] {Threei} and barely couple downticks RIMM
[09:41] {bruce} too late for me vad - paased trigger when I pulled it up
[09:41] {Threei} dead giveaway
[09:42] {Threei} was available just couple cents higher for a few bruce
[09:42] {Threei} I got .18
[09:42] {dino} bby s .85, stop .17
[09:45] {bruce} cbey continues down - out +.20 quick scalp
[09:46] {dino} cov bby .61, +.24
[09:47] {Threei} keep an eye on RIMM guys, relative strength on it is remarkable
[09:47] {Threei} NQ makes new lows, RIMM retreats 20 cents
[09:47] {Threei} NQ barely bounces, RIMM makes new highs
[09:47] {bruce} I'm slow this morning dino- was looking for a stock with symbol bbys
[09:48] {Threei} any help by market, it will bust through 107 like knife
[09:48] {Threei} there
[09:48] {dino} :)
[09:48] {dino} sigm?
[09:49] {magoo} just caugty rimm
[09:49] {magoo} .70 to .09
[09:49] {magoo} to fast
[09:49] {magoo} to pout in here
[09:49] {bruce} nice mags
[09:49] {dino} why pout?
[09:50] {dino} l sigm .70
[09:50] {Threei} hopw do you like this on SIGM:
[09:50] {bruce} great exit mags - you caught exact top
[09:50] {Threei} 02/19/08 01:15am [SIGM] Baird Cuts SIGM to Neutral from Outperform, price target: $50.00
[09:52] {Threei} what's so great bruce, he sold 3 cents under high... pretty pitiful performance
[09:52] * Threei is hiding under the nearest rock
[09:52] {magoo} thats why i am poutting
[09:52] {Threei} lol
[09:52] {magoo} really fast..vad said watch it
[09:52] {magoo} i watched
[09:53] {magoo} hoit-layourt lucky
[09:53] {Threei} see, thing with stocks like RIMM
[09:53] {bruce} intu on radar dino - want to see it drop more
[09:53] {magoo} sigh..spelling
[09:53] {dino} sigm stopped -.40
[09:53] {Threei} sometimes they give you time to alert of setup coming
[09:53] {Threei} and sometimes things happen so quickly that there is no way I could type it in time,
[09:53] {Threei} so what I opt to do is
[09:54] {Threei} alert when I can
[09:54] {Threei} and give general outlook on how to play it
[09:54] {Threei} so those of you who can read and catch it could act on your own, without delay caused by my typing
[09:55] {Threei} understandably, it's not a stock for everyone
[09:55] {magoo} u like it for bounce here?
[09:55] {Threei} has quite a personality
[09:55] {Threei} sure - if NQ bounces
[09:56] {Threei} .30 is nearest support
[09:56] {Threei} not anymore
[09:56] {magoo} grmn might be short if naz retreats vad
[09:57] {Threei} I am not sure they have much correlation
[09:57] {magoo} yeah, not in chart
[09:58] {bruce} with rimm you look for a small consolidation vad - 20 c or so - then break to one side with nq also moving that way?
[09:58] {Threei} one correction bruce
[09:59] {Threei} on a day like today I will aplly that to long but not to short
[09:59] {Threei} meaning I will go with this setup on a long side, and will remain on a sideline on shoert side
[09:59] {bruce} k- cause strngth seems long for it?
[09:59] {bruce} got you
[09:59] {Threei} with such relative strength as RIMM shows short is just very labored money
[09:59] {bruce} idea is to keep small stops
[09:59] {Threei} path of least resistance is up
[10:00] {Threei} and I like easy money
[10:00] {bruce} and ready to exit on first sign of slowing on it looks like from wqtching you trade it
[10:00] {dino} bby s .94 stop hod
[10:00] {Threei} well... that's my approach since I am as risk adverse as we human beings get
[10:01] {Threei} someone with more tolerance would probably keep part for a multipoint run
[10:01] {lumdus} in ccu 31.68 stop 31.49
[10:02] {bruce} a lot of 1 min candles in it are over 60c
[10:02] {bruce} so tough to keep 20 c stops init
[10:03] {Threei} thin stock always requires some padding
[10:03] {bruce} its not thin - just real fast
[10:04] {Threei} GRMN formed quite pronounced support at 63.80
[10:04] {Threei} watching if it holds
[10:04] {Threei} nope
[10:05] {Threei} no play
[10:05] {bruce} I hate grmn - erratic as hell
[10:06] {Threei} that's what we have to play these days, normal stocks just don't move
[10:06] {Threei} keep us prisoners for hours if we venture in them
[10:06] {Threei} and for the most part stop us out eventually
[10:06] {magoo} agree vad
[10:06] {Threei} enter TIVO yesterday
[10:06] {lumdus} yeah, i am just figuring that out now.
[10:06] {Threei} it all goes in cycles
[10:07] {Threei} one day those small safe ones will start moving like their sole purpose in life is to make us as much money as possible
[10:07] {bruce} fwiw - looks like grmn may find support about.50 and bounce there
[10:08] {dino} see, gap up open
[10:08] {Chaeron} gm all
[10:08] {Threei} ch :)'
[10:09] {Chaeron} looks like a littl.e cigar butt hanging there from that smile Vad... a bit early for that no? :)

[10:10] {dino} bby stopped .13, -.19
[10:10] {bruce} thats what I hat4e about grmn - bounced at .50 as suspected - only moved 20c - then moved to stop and continue
[10:10] {bruce} pos
[10:11] {Threei} watching AMZN for breakout of 71.70 - 72 range
[10:12] {bruce} amzn short?

[10:50] {bruce} I'm sure theres a worse one - just havne't met him yet
[10:50] {bruce} hope someone else gotcbey
[10:51] {Threei} my idea of answer to "why second/" would be: "that's how bad I am, can't even be THE worst at this"
[10:51] {bruce} lol
[10:51] {bruce} woulda said that if I'd thought of it
[10:52] {Threei} that's an old joke actually... can't claim authorship

[12:31] {Chaeron} - Indices resume a downward trajectory as credit market fears continue to weigh. Major publications continue to point to signs of further deterioration in the functioning a variety of fixed income markets.
[12:31] {Chaeron} The WSJ noted that two indices that track the cost of buying insurance on bonds issued by 125 large companies have doubled since the beginning of the year, a sign that the financial squeeze that began in investments linked to subprime mortgages has spread. A separate article noted that the CMBX Index, which tracks the value of bonds backed by commercial mortgages, suggest rough waters ahead for that industry as well.
[12:32] {Threei} really
[12:32] {Chaeron} nope, not foolin'
[12:34] {dino} maybe bruce, tough one ofix
[12:38] {dino} sigm l .00, stop lod
[12:52] {Threei} yawn
[12:52] {dino} esmk
[12:55] {bruce} taking break
[12:56] {Threei} slacker
[12:56] {Threei} sit here and yawn with us
[13:05] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE: HAS 'NO CONFIDENCE' IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS PEACEFUL UNTIL IT MEETS ITS OBLIGATIONS
[13:07] {dino} like anybody's is strickly peaceful. issue is a joke
[13:07] {Threei} I am strictly peaceful
[13:07] {Threei} especially when my gun is loaded
[13:08] {Threei} and safety's off
[13:08] {Chaeron} lol
[13:09] {magoo} get to work would u lol
[13:10] {Threei} see, magoo ruins my extreme peacefullness
[13:11] {Chaeron} load your gun...
[13:11] {Threei} looking at OPTV with interest
[13:11] {Threei} maybe some slow accumulation starts

[13:22] {dino} ueic s .54
[13:23] {bruce} back
[13:23] {bruce} you're right vad
[13:23] {bruce} slackers my middle name
[13:24] {Threei} I know, I wanted to claim it and found out it was taken
[13:24] {bruce} would feel guilty if I weren't following your example
[13:29] {Threei} AAPl looks like short on bounce
[13:29] {Threei} as close to 118 as can get
[13:31] {Threei} practically no bounce... .80 was the best it could do
[13:31] {bruce} around 118 w 30 c stop vad?
[13:32] {Threei} it's gone bruce
[13:32] {Threei} no bounce to short into, and too far from there now
[13:32] {Threei} if it does go as high as 118 from here, it's a whole new setup, need to reevaluate
[13:33] {bruce} for now - but may still come back to 118
[13:33] {bruce} k
[13:33] {bruce} thanx
[13:33] {Threei} look at it this way
[13:33] {Threei} it dropped 60 cents,
[13:34] {Threei} if it can gather as much strength as needed to go all the way back, you better look again because it can be a sign of reversal
[13:34] {Threei} don't enter on price alone
[13:34] {Threei} see how it acted to get to that price
[13:35] {bruce} looks to me like its droppingin about1 buck on major breaks
[13:36] {bruce} we might still be able to short here w .70 stop
[13:38] {magoo} aapl .looks like following naz, any thoughts?
[13:39] {Threei} it does mostly but its weaker
[13:39] {Threei} I would play it on short side only
[13:43] {magoo} u reading rimm at all..maybe short
[13:44] {Threei} rather short than long, but there is no clean compelling setup
[13:45] {Threei} I don't want to fire half-baked entries at you, it's a sure way to get unnecessary stops
[13:46] {bruce} k

[14:22] {Threei} FED'S FISHER: FED MUST BE MINDFUL OF DUAL MANDATE, 'PERVASIVE PESSIMISM' IS INFECTING BUSINESS OUTLOOK - Q-A
[14:23] {Threei} - Says central bank must take care not to stir up inflation, noting Fed is having serious discussion regarding inflation pressures, and see rises in US inflation partly due to higher food and energy costs outside Fed control given most of inflation pressure is globally driven
[14:23] {Threei} - Sees 'economic anemia" for couple of quarters, growth risks could suffer more than expected and rate cuts take at least six months to have influence
[14:23] {Threei} - Says Fed must take care that policy action does not impact economy while preventing economy from slipping into prolonged recession and cannot help but worry about an economy that has become infected
[14:23] {Threei} - Stimulus package will be positive if enacted quickly and could also boost consumer spending while Long-term liabilities are biggest fiscal concern
[14:23] {Threei} - Says 'highly unlikely' Governor nominees to join Fed
[14:23] {Threei} - Notes it is possible for policymaker to dissent without disagreeing with policy direction

[15:47] {magoo} i said"cyber can't handle it dino" lol
[15:47] {Threei} you were lucky enough to be away on couple very active days when your brokerage experienced troubles keeping up

[15:48] {lumdus} vad, i talk soon .. watching my crap here.
[15:48] {dino} lol
[15:48] {magoo} vad, got anything into bell?
[15:48] {Threei} ABK
[15:48] {Threei} MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON RECAPITILIZATION, ANNOUNCEMENT ON POSSIBLE BAILOUT COULD COME EARLY NEXT WEEK - CNBCS GASPARINO
[15:48] {lumdus} stop on aapl .49 break even
[15:49] {lumdus} vad, my brokerage have trailing stop, that why i like it.
[15:49] {lumdus} out aapl .19
[15:49] {bruce} sheesh vad - we just needed to hold that long in rimm a little longer
[15:49] {Threei} I suspect that was the news that propped market
[15:49] {Threei} you are very mistaken on it lum, IMO
[15:49] {lumdus} +.31 ..
[15:49] {Threei} trailing stop you apply makes no sense
[15:49] {Threei} it trails by certain amount of cents
[15:49] {Threei} this is not the way to trail it
[15:50] {Threei} stop should be trailed as and where new support levels are formed
[15:50] {lumdus} I know, but for my style , when a stock runs i don't have good control - has worked for me very well . I am not as controlled as you are.
[15:50] {Threei} not by formal amount of cents
[15:50] {Threei} the sdame way as original placement is not done by cents but by chart copnfiguration
[15:50] {lumdus} vad, yes - but think of aapl like now. I need that trailing - because it's wacky. i put it in walk away ..
[15:50] {Threei} hell
[15:51] {Threei} who walks away while trading AAPl
[15:51] {Threei} you are kidding :)
[15:51] {lumdus} i do , with trailing stop
[15:51] {Threei} what can I say
[15:51] {Threei} this is not the way to do it
[15:51] {lumdus} you see once it breaks support and start to run , i put the trailing stop and walk away.
[15:52] {Threei} you think it works because you haven't tracked it properly
[15:52] {Threei} want fresh example?
[15:52] {Threei} your trailing stop took you out of that long
[15:52] {Threei} when there was no slightest reason to exit
[15:52] {Threei} not at high, not at stop, not at sign of reversal
[15:53] {Threei} just in the middle of nowhere
[15:53] {lumdus} ok, but at least it protects me from loses. that's what i focus on.
[15:53] {Threei} [15:26] {lumdus} ok, i got .10 trailing stop now.
[15:53] {Threei} [15:27] {lumdus} out .17 + .14
[15:53] {Threei} this one
[15:54] {lumdus} right +.14 is better then negative
[15:54] {Threei} from losses - put your initial stop in if you suspect you may get overwhelmed by emotions
[15:54] {Threei} but to trail it like this is incorrect
[15:54] {Threei} no lum... sorry, this is wrong way to look at it
[15:55] {lumdus} ok, will need to redo myself here.
[15:55] {Threei} let's talk about it more next week
[15:55] {lumdus} ok.
[15:56] {lumdus} damm this market what a reversal that was
[15:56] {Threei} glad we got this trade on th last hour
[15:56] {Threei} made up for boring afternoon

[16:00] {magoo} that was the yes and no
[16:00] {Threei} try to seek it actively, and you find yourself pushing it
[16:00] {Threei} wait for it to come to you, it happens naturally
