[08:00] {Threei} ESLR
[08:00] {Threei} HALTED: SIGNS $1.2B SALES CONTRACT, THROUGH 2013, BACKLOG AT $3B WITH FIVE CUSTOMERS
[08:00] {Threei} - Signed a new long-term sales contract valued at approximately $1.2 billion with German-based IBC SOLAR AG. This contract extends through 2013 and brings the company's total contractual backlog to nearly $3 billion with 5 customers.
[08:00] {Threei} - The solar panels for these take-or-pay contracts will be manufactured at the Company's new 160 MW facility in Devens, Massachusetts, which opened in June, and at the Company's next factory, which is expected to open in 2010. To date, the Company has contracted approximately 70 percent of Devens expected capacity through 2010 and all of Devens capacity in 2011 through 2013.
[08:13] {Threei} Heard on the Street looks at the US government's plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - WSJ
[08:13] {Threei} - The article notes that Paulson made clear that the stock market losses of Fannie and Freddie would not prevent them from issuing debt.
[08:13] {Threei} - The WSJ notes that on Monday, the cost of insuring the debt of the two GSEs fell.
[08:13] {Threei} - The article note that dilution fears and concerns about government intervention could weigh on any future share sales by Fannie and Freddie.
[08:13] {Threei} - The article notes that it is most likely the government will seek to take a direct stake in the GSEs through a preferred issue with special rights because this will maintain the perception that the two companies are still owned by its shareholders.
[08:13] {Threei} - If the government acquires shares in the GSEs, it could seek to be paid a lower than market interest rate or defer payments until the companies are in better financial condition.
[08:13] {Threei} - WSJ notes that the Treasury still needs to address the capital issue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because if it does not funding could again become an issue and possibly force Paulson to come up with an actual nationalization plan.

[09:28] {Threei} tension is higher and higher
[09:28] {Threei} let's stay in careful side
[09:29] {Threei} the extend of the crisis we are facing becomes much more clear for many ostriches
[09:29] {magoo} whats that mean?
[09:30] {Threei} a lot of traders, both amateur and pros got caught into longs on s
[09:30] {Threei} which part mags?

[09:31] {cosmo} i'd start kickin
[09:32] {cosmo} ESLR needs to hold 10 imo
[09:32] {Threei} FRE nosedive
[09:33] {Threei} ESLR
[09:33] {Threei} short idea
[09:33] {Threei} want a bounce
[09:33] {Threei} closest resistance is 10.20
[09:34] {Threei} anything above 10 should be a short
[09:34] {Threei} if can't break 10, then short 9.92 with 10.05 stop
[09:39] {Threei} doesn't look like FRE is going to hold 5
[09:40] {Threei} 5.19 shot half lot
[09:41] {Threei} stop above 5.40
[09:42] {cosmo} BEXP: Brigham Exploration announces Bakken discoveries, accelerated Williston Basin drilling program, planned Three Forks tests and updates '08 capital expenditure budgetBriefing.com(Tue 6:07am)
[09:42] {Threei} stop to 5.35
[09:42] {cosmo} BEXP now pulling back....
[09:42] {dino} hmmm, i guess the nyx is going out of business the way its down, sheesh
[09:46] {Threei} the way market acts you would think whole USA is going out of business
[09:48] {dino} europe is next
[09:48] {Threei} IMO... if whole world goes out of business, Europe will be there before USA
[09:50] {dino} lod dji
[09:51] {dino} 7/06 dji lows around 10668
[09:52] {Threei} ESLR 1:1
[09:52] {Threei} IMO, it has more downside
[09:52] {dino} imo thats where we are headed
[09:55] {Threei} MOODY'S CUTS PREFERRED STOCK AND FIANNCIAL STRENGTH RATING, DEBT RATINGS AFFIRMED
[09:56] {Threei} it's a good news, right? no money but a lot of valid liabilities
[09:57] {Threei} in today's upside-own world it must be a good news
[09:58] {dino} watching de fwlt fwiw
[10:03] {Threei} covering half ESLR
[10:05] {dino} add cme to that
[10:05] {Threei} FRE still looks like short to me
[10:05] {Threei} not sure of entry
[10:08] {dino} expiration week right? look for 5s and 0s imo
[10:09] {Threei} probably gotta try shorting into bounces to resistance, and be ready for multiple tries with small stops
[10:09] {Threei} 2.25 closest so far
[10:09] {Threei} 5.25
[10:10] {Threei} broken, no entry for now
[10:10] {Threei} 5.40 next
[10:10] {Threei} staying away at the moment, no clear read
[10:14] {Threei} hmmm... volume dropped on this FRE pullback
[10:14] {Threei} maybe bounce is better way here
[10:14] {Threei} 5.15 trigger for scalp
[10:15] {Threei} if stays above 5.10
[10:16] {hawkfan4} Bernake speaking now
[10:17] {Threei} lost support
[10:17] {Threei} Ben speak is a danger
[10:18] {cosmo} i wanna hear from Chauncey Gardener
[10:18] {dino} i was thinking jerry lewis
[10:19] {cosmo} that's close
[10:19] {dino} pcln blood
[10:20] {Threei} not sure to trail ESLR second half to .95 or keep it above 10 for now

[10:22] {Threei} .66 stop
[10:24] {Threei} anyone managed to find short entry FRE?
[10:24] {magoo} nah
[10:24] {Threei} admittedly not easy
[10:25] {magoo} mkt was turning up
[10:25] {Threei} yeah, it almost looked like market shrugged off financials and decoupled from them
[10:25] {Threei} leting them drop and doing its own thing
[10:26] {Threei} see this spike?
[10:26] {magoo} yea
[10:26] {Threei} no news... just out of the blue
[10:26] {Threei} shows how tough it is today to find entry on them
[10:26] {Threei} let's leave them alone?
[10:26] {hawkfan4} yep
[10:27] {Threei} no crying when FRE goes under 4? "why didn't we short the hell out of it"?
[10:27] {Threei} die SBUX
[10:27] {cosmo} FNM then?
[10:28] {Threei} OK, trailing ESLR to .93
[10:28] {Threei} Bush on FRE/FNM
[10:31] {Threei} PRESIDENT BUSH: REITERATES CALL FOR CONGRESS TO REMOVE BAN ON OFFSHORE DRILLING, MUST ENSURE GSES CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING MORTGAGE CREDIT
[10:31] {Threei} - The GSEs should remain shareholder-owned companies. GSE rescue plan should be part of the housing bill.
[10:31] {Threei} - US economy shows remarkable resilience.
[10:32] {dino} down we go
[10:32] {Threei} SBUX 1:1, more downside is there IMO

[10:39] {Threei} FED'S BERNANKE: HOUSING MARKET IS THE CENTRAL ISSUE FOR THE US ECONOMY - Q&A

[10:42] {hawkfan4} thx sbux here too vad, nice one
[10:43] {dptl} msft?
[10:43] {Threei} have you traded this one before?
[10:43] {dptl} long time ago
[10:43] {Threei} very specific stock in the way it trades
[10:44] {Threei} if you don't have experience with it, stay away
[10:44] {Threei} if you feel you want to trade it, observe it for a while
[10:44] {Threei} to get a feel for its ways
[10:44] {dptl} ye....it just was good set up isnt it?
[10:44] {Threei} chart wise, sure
[10:45] {Threei} it just has such a disgusting manner of chewing you up and spiutting you out just when you think you nailed great setup
[10:47] {Threei} stop to .51 SBUX
[10:48] {Threei} FED'S BERNANKE: HOUSING MARKET IS THE CENTRAL ISSUE FOR THE US ECONOMY, US BANKING SYSTEM IS WELL CAPITALIZED - Q&A
[10:48] {Threei} - Must be careful when changing margin requirements.
[10:48] {Threei} - US banks are deleveraging, banks are challenged by current credit conditions.
[10:48] {Threei} - Less concerned about solvency than banks' ability to extend credit.
[10:48] {Threei} - IndyMac failure was inevitable, given its bad asset quality.
[10:48] {Threei} - Emphasizes the need for a bank-like regulator for the GSEs.
[10:48] {patience} tsx down 405 points
[10:49] {Threei} because of oil drop?
[10:49] {Threei} or some other elements of it cause big downside?
[10:49] {patience} chartered banks are tanking
[10:49] {Threei} DJI is down just 167 points
[10:49] {patience} i know
[10:49] {Threei} oh
[10:52] {magoo} p[owering up
[10:52] {Threei} I am getting strange feeling
[10:52] {magoo} lets hear it
[10:52] {Chaeron} cat ran up your pant leg again... that's all
[10:52] {Threei} nah, never mind, it's last week vodka talking
[10:53] {Threei} OK, on serious note
[10:53] {Threei} starts feeling like we are to see some stunning bounce today
[10:53] {Chaeron} we close strong green?
[10:53] {magoo} i have found that your feelings are usually quite good
[10:54] {Chaeron} yeah... MOAB was the bestest
[10:55] {Threei} a little more churning, then decisive break and big upward move... that's the vision I am having
[10:55] {Threei} if that is the scenario... LEH is .81 long
[10:56] {hawkfan4} have the same feeling. LEH super strong
[10:56] {magoo} if so..aapl would be a candidate
[10:56] {magoo} 300 shares
[10:56] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[10:57] {Threei} AAPL, no technical level to rely upon
[10:57] {Threei} but if this scenario plays out it will go
[11:00] {Threei} here goes RIMM
[11:00] {Chaeron} dang missed RIMM
[11:00] {Threei} with any market support 104 easy
[11:01] {Chaeron} in LEH .80
[11:01] {magoo} in rimm
[11:02] {magoo} in aapl now .72
[11:03] {Threei} LEH over 14 should be easy
[11:04] {Threei} look at market gop
[11:04] {Threei} go
[11:04] {Threei} 104
06[11:04] * Threei pats himself on the back
[11:04] {dino} gop more like it
[11:04] {Threei} 14 LEH
[11:05] {magoo} out rimm .14 TY vad
[11:05] {Threei} welcome sir
[11:05] {magoo} how about my AAPL?
[11:05] {magoo} 1 point
[11:05] {Threei} sure
[11:05] {Threei} AAPL was simply a matter of timing the entry with market
[11:05] {Threei} since it didn't havce its own technical level to base trigger on
[11:06] {magoo} out here .76 1 point aapl in 2 minues
[11:06] {Chaeron} out LEH 14.01 +0.21 Great job Vad... again?
[11:06] {Threei} [10:57] {Threei} but if this scenario plays out it will go
[11:06] {Threei} market is going to continue upward
[11:06] {Threei} with pullbacks of course, buit for now up is the play
[11:07] {Threei} how about this for "stunning bounce"?
[11:07] {Chaeron} beautiful
[11:07] {hawkfan4} vad, super timely prediction, awesome
[11:07] {Chaeron} any entries on pullbacks?
[11:07] {Threei} ty hawk... I have my monets
[11:07] {magoo} [10:56] {magoo} if so..aapl would be a candidate
[11:07] {magoo} 10:53] {magoo} i have found that your feelings are usually quite good
[11:07] {Chaeron} and I wonder why anyone goes to any other trading rooms :)
[11:07] {Threei} chaeron... yes but there won't be technicals for them
[11:08] {dino} wow just made up over 200 dji points
[11:08] {Threei} sh*t, I am good
[11:08] {Threei} lol
[11:09] {patience} yup
[11:09] {magoo} and humble he he
[11:09] {Threei} always
[11:09] {dptl} just how the heck did you do that? lol
[11:09] {Threei} and chaeron thought that strange feeling was after-effect of case of vodka
[11:10] {hawkfan4} out RIMM + 1.60, thx
[11:10] {Chaeron} noooo... I said it was the cat up your pants leg....
[11:10] {Threei} (actually it was)
[11:10] {Threei} wtg hawk
[11:10] {Chaeron} great one Hawk
[11:10] {hawkfan4} thx :)
[11:11] {dino} gj
[11:14] {dino} sm l cedc .25
[11:15] {magoo} hawk,,u dog:) er, um, bird
[11:17] {hawkfan4} lol, thx
[11:28] {GeoArb} great example of vad's dbi setup
[11:28] {GeoArb} TAP
[11:28] {Threei} dbi?
[11:28] {Threei} I'd say it's JBE
[11:28] {GeoArb} sorrry
[11:28] {GeoArb} not thinking
[11:29] {Threei} sorry won't cut it Geo... you will have to bring us your finest cheeses
[11:29] {GeoArb} :)
[11:31] {Threei} just how sound this management with trailing stops after 1:1 is
[11:31] {Threei} allowed us to close second half of our shorts with no loss
[11:32] {Threei} and profit from reversal on other stocks at the same time
[11:42] {Chaeron} .
[11:42] {magoo} ..
[11:52] {Threei} looking at WM trying to define is it short time yet
[11:53] {magoo} against the mkt?
[11:53] {Threei} it's close to solid resistance level... if can't break it, then any market hiccup should kill it
[11:54] {Threei} and risk is negligible
[11:56] {Threei} lety' see if this spike takes it over 4
[11:56] {Threei} if not, then any market retreat is a short signal for WM with very tight stop
[11:56] {GeoArb} ok tap has made my best day ever
[11:56] {GeoArb} cheese vad
[11:56] {Threei} wtg :)
[11:56] {GeoArb} still holdng
[11:56] {GeoArb} above 2 bucks on 2k shares
[11:56] {Threei} woohoo
[11:57] {Threei} studying pays off eh?
[11:57] {GeoArb} hehehehe'\
[11:57] {GeoArb} i have decided to chat less and read more
[11:57] {Threei} WM broke 4
[11:57] {Threei} no play
[11:57] {GeoArb} was too busy cracking jokes.... not good for newbie like me
[11:57] {patience} very nice Geo. I just screwed up TD trade. Sold it when i was down .21 and it promptly reversed and spiked up 80 cents
[11:58] {GeoArb} yeah...
[11:58] {Threei} what a selloff in oil
[11:59] {patience} so vad, in a market like this, do you tighten up your stops or give a bit more leeway
[11:59] {Threei} for me it's stock specific
[12:00] {Threei} if I feel I have a good grip on direction
[12:00] {patience} i rarely trade bank stocks and don't know their usual pattern
[12:00] {Threei} but volatility is a bit abnormal
[12:00] {patience} serves me right
[12:00] {Threei} I will cut the size down and increase stop
[12:00] {Threei} if volatility for my specific stock is as usual, then both position size and stop are as usual
[12:01] {Threei} also, I find that during such nervous times agfgreesive entries qork better for me
[12:01] {Threei} work
[12:02] {Threei} breakouts give good follow-through not as frequently as in normal, market
[12:02] {Threei} buit aggressive entry while increases amount of stops,
[12:02] {Threei} keeps size of stops down and allows for bigger wins
[12:03] {GeoArb} patience....my advice is to always keep an eye on the volatility value in the intelliscanner for the stocks
[12:03] {GeoArb} its a nice read
[12:03] {patience} i was 2 cents off being right....what a bastard stock. i hate losing. i think i will go sulk.
[12:04] {GeoArb} man TAP
[12:04] {GeoArb} feels like they are delivering cases right to my doorstep
[12:05] {GeoArb} the volatility value in intelliscan gives a good estimate of the individual stock whips
[12:06] {patience} i don't have intelliscan, i don't even have streaming data....i just eyeball it most of the time.
[12:07] {GeoArb} wow... i am not that experienced... maybe in time :)
[12:07] {patience} i'm on a laptop, limited space constraints
[12:10] {Threei} geo goes all scientific on us
[12:11] {Threei} next thing we know he uses beta and reads company statements
[12:12] {GeoArb} hehehe... i just try to match the stop loss with that number
06[12:14] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
06[12:14] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
06[12:14] * Chaeron slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:14] {Threei} that's what I call RealityTrader warm greeting

[12:17] {laserdave1} but i have been in here awhile guys
[12:17] {Threei} you can always count on us to deliver sincere welcome

[12:34] {Threei} HOUSE REPUBLICANS IN LETTER THE REP. FRANK ASSERT THEY WILL SEEK TO DELAY THE GSE RESCUE PLAN, CALL FOR HEARINGS ON THE GSE PLAN

[12:42] {Threei} SEC'S COX: CURRENTLY CONDUCTING OVER FOUR DOZEN PROBES RELATED TO THE SUBPRIME CRISIS
[12:42] {Threei} - The SEC is looking at insurers, credit ratings agencies and Wall Street firms to see if mortgage lenders broke accounting rules.
[12:42] {Threei} lol
[12:43] {Threei} could their timing be any better
[12:45] {dino} ty
[12:50] {Threei} tide is turning it seems
[12:50] {Threei} I'd look to short next bounce
[12:50] {Threei} LEH closer to 14
[12:50] {Threei} FRE closer to 6
[12:51] {Threei} LEH spiked to .92, too fast for entry... mised
[12:52] {Threei} is Paulson still talking?
[12:52] {hawkfan4} 12:50 SEC's Cox: New limits on short sales of Fannie, Freddie - DJ
[12:52] {hawkfan4} (FRE, FNM)

[12:53] {Chaeron} ooook... FRE short 6.08
[12:53] {Threei} perfect entry
[12:53] {Threei} feel free to take half off
[12:54] {Chaeron} took it all off... too much media... out .93 +0.15
[12:54] {dino} going to screw the shorts on fre, fnm
[12:54] {Threei} they limit naked shorting
[12:54] {Threei} SEC'S COX SAYS WILL ISSUE AN ORDER LIMITING NAKED SHORT SELLING OF FANNIE AND FREDDIE - SENATE TESTIMONY
[12:54] {Threei} {FRE}
[12:54] {Chaeron} I have my pjs still on
