[08:57] {Threei} that's ABPI
[08:58] {dino} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} dino :)
[08:59] {dino} good news and bad news on the trading front
[08:59] {Threei} ?
[09:00] {dino} ok, since vacation, 10 days of trading. good news all positive
[09:00] {dino} bad news, only 72% of daily goal
[09:00] {dino} so, i need to adapt a bit
[09:01] {Threei} alternatively,
[09:01] {Threei} it could be simply an outcome of abnormally volatile markets
[09:02] {dino} i have mentioned that to magoo, but he cuts me no slack whatsoever
[09:02] {Threei} if that's the case, adjustments should be light, in order not to overdo it
[09:02] {Threei} and face troubles as market returns to norm
[09:03] {Threei} I am a bit wary of attempts to overhaul too big part of approach with each market turn
[09:03] {dino} thinking the same, i understand. there is one other factor, i am trading smaller size because of the whips
[09:03] {dino} that could be it
[09:03] {Threei} when radical things happen then yes, deviation from old norm are too big
[09:03] {Threei} for instance, when market went to decimals from fractions
[09:03] {Threei} that was kind of big and permanent change
[09:04] {Threei} gotta adjust or wilt and die
[09:04] {dino} y
[09:04] {Threei} current change is simply change of market conditions, we go through those all the time
[09:04] {Threei} logical chain is exactly as you said,
[09:04] {Threei} increased volatility made you control risk tighter bu decreasing size
[09:05] {Threei} which in turn led to diminished return
[09:05] {GeoArb} good morning
[09:05] {Threei} Geo
[09:05] {magoo} TMA vad, news
[09:06] {dino} that is most likely the cause. ty vad
[09:06] {Threei} Inc Proposes up to $1.35B private placement of Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, due 2015; suspends dividend on preferred stock
[09:06] {Threei} - The deal includes an interest rate of 18%, adjusted to 12% upon the satisfaction by the company of certain conditions.
[09:06] {Threei} - The proceeds of this proposed private placement are intended to satisfy a key contingency of the Override Agreement Thornburg Mortgage announced on March 19, whereby the company agreed to raise a minimum of net proceeds of $948M in new capital on or before March 27.
[09:06] {Threei} - Additionally, the company will be conducting a tender offer for at least 90% of its outstanding preferred stock at a price of $5 per $25 of liquidation value, plus, upon shareholder approval of additional authorized shares, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5% of the company's common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (reducing the private placement investors' interest to 85%), or, if shareholder approval is not obtained, alternative consideration.
[09:07] {Threei} radical change is something that makes me uneasy dino... natural for people from the country that went through revolution of 1917 {G}
[09:08] {dino} y
[09:08] {Threei} if things simply don't work, OK.... reworking is needed
[09:09] {Threei} not your case by any stretch of imagination
[09:12] {Threei} be back in 5
[09:18] {Threei} not much enthusiasm on SIRI/XMSR
[09:18] {Threei} buyer at 3.80 will have to put it in long term account it seems

[11:22] {dino} y
[11:24] {dino} l sm ave .35

[11:30] {bruce} looking good so far - not in yet
[11:35] {dino} idcc
[11:36] {bruce} yes - saw the spike
[11:36] {magoo} solf hitting scanner
[11:37] {Threei} yeah, invalidated our setup earlier... not a breakout stock
[11:37] {Threei} moves off pullbacks, fails breakouts
[11:38] {Threei} if this pattern holds, will look for entry around .50
[11:40] {GeoArb} hi, quick Q, I have the four scanners... is it among them or custom?
[11:40] {Threei} NOKIA CFO: LESS OPTIMISTIC THAN IDCC IN SETTLEMENT, MARKET MAY HAVE 'OVERESTIMATED' CHANCES OF SETTLEMENT WITH CO. - INTERVIEW COMMENTS

[11:44] {bruce} nvda long scalp candidate here vad
[11:45] {Threei} with .14 stop?
[11:45] {bruce} yes - small - probaly won't move far
[11:45] {Threei} pretty much market dependent...
[11:46] {Threei} and market is a wierdo here
[11:47] {bruce} aint it always?
[11:48] {Threei} lol
[11:48] {Threei} sometimes it's a wierdo with patterns of wierdness, and sometimes it's a plain wierdo
[11:48] {Threei} right now it's a plain wierdo
[11:49] {magoo} remember when...............
[11:49] {magoo} weirdo= queer=gay=sex=
[11:50] {bruce} lol - \
[11:50] {bruce} leave it to mags
[11:51] {Threei} SOLF pullback was too shallow for me to enter... too bad
[11:52] {Threei} I would put it this way:
[11:53] {Threei} when you have determination in market you get much more easy to read trades
[11:53] {Threei} it's like market has a mission
[11:53] {Threei} today it doesn't so far,
[11:53] {Threei} it's more like waiting for something
[11:53] {bruce} a mission - like mags raiding ber fridge?
[11:54] {Threei} exactly
[11:54] {Threei} dertermination, purpose, decisive pace
[11:54] {Threei} eyes on a target
[11:55] {bruce} k - yes a bear stalking a beer
[11:55] {Threei} beer be gotten
[11:55] {bruce} single minded focus and purpose
[11:56] {magoo} hiccup : )
[11:59] {Threei} ok, that's the ultimate iroy in my eyes:
[12:00] {Threei} irony
[12:00] {Threei} 11:50am [UPS] Hearing taken off of Focus List at Bear Stearns
[12:01] {magoo} the cat watching the cannary he he
[12:01] {Threei} just how seriously can estimates be taken when they are coming from a company that steered its own action in such disastrous way
[12:19] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[12:19] {Threei} let it pullback, don't chase
[12:20] {Threei} stop under .30

[13:52] {Threei} 6.10
[13:52] {Threei} don't chase
[13:52] {Threei} it most lilely will give you another chance at that or much better price
[13:52] {Threei} pullbacks on it are hellish
[13:55] {Threei} [12:26] {Threei} my feeling is primary direction is upward now
[13:55] {dino} vtiv l .10

[14:20] {magoo} i did not enter
[14:21] {Threei} OK, just thought maybe running comments were needed
[14:21] {magoo} was looking at rimm short scalp..no in tho
[14:23] {Threei} don't misunderstand me please:
[14:24] {Threei} I am not calling for SEED entry
[14:24] {Threei} if I were I would do it when I entered
[14:24] {Threei} it's very risky one and most likely not a daytrade

[14:25] {Threei} wow really?
[14:25] {Threei} cool :)
