[12:24] {dptl} ok
[12:26] {dino} "endowed"? i'm guessing because of the "dow"
[12:26] {Threei} ok... "ennasdaqed"
[12:26] {dino} lol

[12:33] {Threei} welcome mags
[12:33] {Threei} easy to read trade but by no means easy to execute
[12:33] {dino} you know me vad, the eternal pesismist on market talk
[12:33] {Threei} continued to try and scare us out of the trade
[12:33] {Threei} I am totally opposite dino... blue-eyed optimist
[12:34] {Threei} CEOs never lie
[12:34] {Threei} Fed are the smartest guys on the planet
[12:34] {dino} meanwhile abk telling the upper management to sell all shares immediately
[12:34] {Threei} oh, and I also bought three bridges yesterday
[12:34] {dino} lower workers buy, buy buy (opps enron )
[12:34] {Threei} and sent a lot of money to nice people in Nigeria who promised me many millions
[12:36] {Threei} how can one refuse the request for money that starts with nicests words: "dearest ..."
[12:36] {dino} indeed
[12:36] {Threei} the very thought that someone could consider me "dearest" makes me open my wallet
[12:36] {GeoArb} i love the nigerian guys
[12:36] {Chaeron} uhhhhhhhhhhh
[12:36] {Chaeron} want to rethink your wording?
[12:36] {GeoArb} i send them a one liner... "send me a hundred cash and well talk"
[12:37] {GeoArb} they get defensive
[12:37] {Threei} who wouldn't geo... giving out multimillon deals for measly tens of thousands
[12:37] {GeoArb} so i keep sending oneliners doubling every time
[12:37] {GeoArb} by the 5th email they give up and call me a crook
[12:37] {GeoArb} i am bored at work
[12:37] {Threei} see? you offended nice people
[12:41] {dino} out mco .50, +.30
[12:42] {dino} all dayer
[12:43] {dino} geo, what do you do at work?
[12:44] {Threei} offending everyone who wants to give him millions I take it
[12:44] {dino} aside from getting bored
[12:44] {GeoArb} i manage distance univ for a research univ
[12:44] * Threei makes a point never to offer Geo anything above $999,999.99
[12:44] {GeoArb} problem is grad students are too smart and learn fast
[12:44] {GeoArb} lol
[12:44] {dino} lol
[12:44] {GeoArb} distance education
[12:45] {GeoArb} so after a while I am bored
[12:45] {dino} vad wants to get this room accredited

[12:55] {Threei} enough for me to respect the man
[12:55] {dino} donald & megan
[12:56] {GeoArb} his library and plane is about 15 miles from my house
[12:56] {GeoArb} love the jelly bean portrait
[12:56] * Threei slaps Laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:56] {dino} cool
[12:56] {Chaeron} I'm close to Nixon's Geo :)
[12:56] * Chaeron slaps Laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:56] {GeoArb} umm dunno where that is :(
[12:56] {Raven}

[12:56] * Laserdave1 slaps Laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:56] {Threei} and I am so far from everything...
[12:57] {Chaeron} move
[12:57] * Raven slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[12:59] {Threei} what was that for
[12:59] {Threei} as if it wasn't enough that I am sooo removed from all the famous libraries
[13:00] {Raven}
3 who gives a rat's ass about the libraries ... your climate makes up for that
[13:00] {Chaeron} move to Arkansas... be Bill's best bud and hang out on the porchof his library
[13:00] {Raven}
3 fly with Bill on his crook friends jet
[13:01] {Chaeron} hang with his hotties
[13:02] {dino} the clinton library misplaced all the books
[13:02] {Raven}

[13:10] {Threei} tough read here guys
[13:10] {Threei} staying on a sideline
[13:10] {Threei} market is pregnant with sharp move, and sirection is anyone's guess
[13:10] {Threei} direction too
[13:14] {dino} gibberish huh?
[13:15] {Threei} what did you call me?
[13:15] {dino} lol
[13:16] {Threei} slapped by raven, called names by dino AND living in area removed from all the sources of knowledge
[13:16] {Threei} my life goes down the drain...
[13:16] {GeoArb} who said presedential libraries were knowledge?
[13:16] {GeoArb} google
[13:16] {patience} guess all you can do is sit on the dock, with butter and garlic and fresh crab
[13:17] {Threei} google doesn't help much when you can't read
[13:17] {GeoArb} i just like the jelly bean portrait
[13:17] {Threei} books on the other hand provide protection from prying eyes if you place them (books) strategically, so they cover your closed eyes
[13:18] {Threei} the only thing you need to take of is not to keep them upside down
[13:18] {Threei} that could be a clue
[13:34] {Threei} feels like RIMM short will be a play soon
[13:34] {Threei} need more confidence that NQ is done rallying
[13:34] {Threei} so far, 50/50
[13:34] {magoo} aapl too
[13:37] {Threei} OK... can we have a bounce now please,
[13:37] {Threei} with RIMM staying under 124.20
[13:38] {Threei} but coming close enough to it for a stop to be narrow enough
[13:41] {Threei} in
[13:42] {Threei} .31 stop
[13:42] {Threei} didn't take long eh
[13:44] {Threei} second try
[13:44] {Threei} got .27, stop .35
[13:47] {Threei} sheesh
[13:47] {Threei} sigh
[13:48] {Threei} back to sleep
[13:52] {dino} cap't cavm spike
[13:52] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC PAULSON: CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ON GSE REFORM FOLLOWING MEETING WITH FNM, FRE AND LAWMAKERS
[13:55] {dino} shake 'n bake
[14:02] {Threei} US TREASURY SECRETARY PAULSON CITES PROGRESS IN CALMING FINANCIAL MARKETS, FOCUS INCREASINGLY ON STIMULATING ECONOMY
[14:02] {Threei} - Likes part of Rep Frank's FHA bill, no veto threat from President Bush, supports idea of having FHA back troubled loans after write-down.
[14:02] {Threei} - US economy has slowed considerably, faces headwinds from high oil prices. Cites progress in calming markets, says focus will be increasingly on stimulating the economy.
[14:02] {Threei} - Aiming to minimize spillover from market turmoil into the economy, but it can't be avoided entirely.
[14:02] {Threei} - Risk is being repriced, astute investors are putting captial to work in distressed markets.
[14:03] {Threei} - Financial markets, not govenrments, best set benchmark values for illiquid securities.
[14:03] {Threei} - Won't forecast when the turmoil might end, some markets still not operating normally.
[14:03] {Threei} my personal read is:
[14:04] {Threei} We seem to be succeeding in postponing the crisis and making our kids or grandkids face it
[14:04] {Threei} and, since it's going to be their problem, we care not
[14:05] {dino} isn't that the governmental way?
[14:05] {hawkfan4} {==and no kids, so that goes double for me ;})
[14:06] {dino} promise the world, don't worry about paying for it
[14:06] {Threei} reminds me a wise hero of some Far East parables who agreed to teach a donkey to speak, accepting hefty amount from shah; money was supposed to sustain him for 20 years which was the term for a donky to demonstrate speaking skills
[14:07] {dino} i have to laugh, the $600 rebates hilary and obama are taking credit for, but at the same time they are going to raise all taxes
[14:07] {Threei} when asked how he was going to keep the promise he said, "come on, in 20 years one of three will be dead - me, shah or donkey"
[14:08] {Threei} JPM
[14:08] {Threei} TO SUSPEND TAKING FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN APPLICATIONS
[14:08] {Threei} why?
[14:08] {dino} so, we give the average guy $600 next month, but next year he pays $4k more in taxes
[14:09] {Threei} isn't credit crunch defeated?
[14:09] {Threei} or JPM made not enough on BSC deal?
[14:09] {dino} wants another deal perhaps
[14:10] {dino} needs funds for it
[14:12] {markweb} BRCM nice, Roman
