[10:55] {Threei} not sure if it's going to continue, not seeing frenzy yet
[10:56] {dino} secondary today i think
[10:57] {Threei} yes... unusual for a stock to move that strongly into secondary
[10:57] {dino} usually goes down
[10:59] {Chaeron} .
[10:59] {fernp} DJI new 52 week low

[11:24] {Threei} to bounce, NQ needs to break 1885
[11:25] {Threei} which would match QID short if loses .20
[11:26] {_Lisa_Jay} BBBY
[11:31] {Threei} quite nervous market here
[11:31] {patience} ben should have listened to me yesterday
[11:31] {Threei} probably bounce becomes more likely at the moment
[11:32] {Threei} and raise rates?
[11:32] {patience} listen, i wanted to win the bet for the blueberries vad
[11:32] {Threei} well... I am always willing to take the next bet so you'll have a lot more opportunities :)

[12:22] {kazaam} well to be honest i have been learning for 2 years, so I ain't totally green, but i sure wouldn't be picking these things without the RT material
[12:22] {Threei} all it takes is just change the angle of trout trajectory
