Session Time: Fri Oct 03 00:00:00 2008

[07:50] {magoo} morning
[07:54] {Threei} Good morning
[07:54] {magoo} vad, u see the new lasrr download?
[07:55] {Threei} yeah
[07:55] {Threei} didn't do it yet
[07:58] {magoo} me neither..alot of changes
[07:58] {magoo} is it necessary to do it?
[08:00] {Threei} not at this point I believe
[08:00] {magoo} vad, should WB trade at 7$ with deal
[08:00] {Threei} well, it's a stock deal if I understand correctly
[08:00] {Threei} not cash
[08:03] {Threei} NCC traded above 4 earlier
[08:04] {magoo} that was trade from past..as in 2 dollar stock making points
[08:23] {magoo} vad..i think the sdcenario has changed slightly
[08:23] {Threei} I'd say greatly
[08:24] {Threei} market had enough time to evaluate rescue package
[08:24] {Threei} and doesn't seem to like it very much
[08:24] {magoo} but it seems now majority expects a pop THEN drop after bill passes {assuming it does}
[08:25] {magoo} maybe to easy to expect drop
[08:25] {Threei} that was what we expected first time around
[08:25] {magoo} my time frame isshort i mean
[08:25] {Threei} now it very well could be different
[08:25] {Threei} a lot of dynamics changed since then
[08:25] {magoo} pop..small drop..then hard power up
[08:26] {Threei} that's one possibility
[08:26] {Threei} another is, just hard down
[08:26] {magoo} yea..no pop
[08:26] {Threei} really can't tell at this point
[08:27] {Threei} see, a week ago it was very different
[08:27] {Threei} reaction to package was more emotinal
[08:27] {Threei} "huge relief" kind of thing
[08:27] {Threei} now, not so much
[08:27] {magoo} agree...more people are fearful of alot of other economic issues now
[08:27] {Threei} yeah
[08:27] {magoo} regardless...we are gonna retest bottoms sometime
[08:27] {Threei} a lot of people start doubting this measure will work at all
[08:28] {magoo} but i try to figure out daily
[08:28] {magoo} because im not in
[08:28] {Threei} right
[08:28] {Threei} main problem in forecasting for us at this point is:
[08:28] {Threei} we can't really tell whether the negativity of last days is comong from lack of faith in package passing
[08:29] {Threei} or lack of faith of its working
[08:29] {Threei} if it's former, then passage will jolt the market up
[08:29] {Threei} if latter, it's big down move in any case
[08:30] {Threei} ) SEPT AVERAGE HOURLY EARNING M/M: 0.2% V 0.3%E
[08:30] {Threei} Y/Y: 3.4% V 3.6%E; AVERAGE WEEKLY HRS: 33.6 V 33.7E
[08:30] {Threei} (US) SEPT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 6.1% V 6.1%E
[08:31] {Threei} US) SEPT CHANGE IN NONFARM PAYROLLS: -159K V -105KE; CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING PAYROLLS: -61K V -57KE
[08:38] {cosmo} LINE: Cramer likes it...
[08:38] {cosmo} fyi
[08:39] {Threei} should we too?
[08:39] {cosmo} hmmm ... just be aware
[08:40] {cosmo} i guess
[08:43] {Threei} so far, watching NCC and ABK
[08:47] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:47] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:48] {esemde} morning........
[08:49] {Threei} ese :)
[08:49] {esemde} day nine of the learning curve
[08:49] {Threei} whatcha learning?
[08:49] {esemde} thought you'd nver ask
[08:49] {esemde} how to use my new macbook pro laptop
[08:49] {Threei} ah
[08:50] {Threei} can't offer any useful advice here, just cheerleading :)
[08:51] {Onix} Good morning everyone
[08:51] {esemde} onix....
[08:51] {Threei} onix :)
[08:52] {hawkfan4} fwiw Doug Kass says he is "All In"
[08:52] {Threei} as in?
[08:52] {esemde} whats this new laser download vad...mags???
[08:52] {hawkfan4} all in long
[08:52] {cosmo} in for good
[08:52] {Threei} brave man
[08:52] {esemde} whos doug kass hawk
[08:52] {Threei} just some changes in routing, ese
[08:52] {Threei} added a lot of features
[08:53] {esemde} gotcha
[08:53] {hawkfan4} fund manager, on Real Money and always on CNBC. He's been really good this year so far
[08:53] {esemde} on a crappy year......good
[08:53] {Threei} well... he bets on package passage and on market's faith in package effectiveness
[08:54] {Threei} or, he is in for a very long haul and believes that if he sits out initial losses, market will turn bullish soon enough
[08:54] {Threei} and if this is his case, I agree
[08:55] {Threei} IMO, this is exactly what is going to happen
[08:55] {hawkfan4} that's the problem with his calls, is he's willing to sit thru some initial big pain
[08:55] {Threei} the only change I would make if I were in this kind of postion:
[08:55] {Threei} I wouldn't be ALL in
[08:55] {Threei} I would take apartyial p;osition
[08:56] {Threei} and build it up to full in on drops
[08:56] {Threei} decreasing initial pain, getting better cost basis
[08:57] {Threei} but then again... if he is doing well, who am I to argue with success
[08:57] {magoo} kass usually a perma bear
[08:57] {magoo} something to consider
[08:58] {esemde} I tend to believe the downturn isn't going to be for as long as some think.......read book called "Running Money"...Doug Kesller i think was the author....basic jist of it is that the US has a huge advantage when it comes to intellectual property
[08:58] {magoo} es..laser gndt page has laser download update..not necessary to do immediately
[08:58] {magoo} but say like after close
[08:59] {esemde} lots of mafacturing jobs going elsewhere but But the R&D side is huge down in your neck of the woods
[09:02] {esemde} which brings back to the US loads of money for investment.......evens out the trade imbalance .....so on the outside
[09:02] {esemde} where it appears the outflow of money is
[09:03] {Threei} well, USD strength recently was commented on by many, and suprizing thing surfaced:
[09:03] {Threei} there is a shortage of dollars in eurozone
[09:03] {esemde} is huge it's not the case ...with all that cash coming back in for investment
[09:03] {Threei} who would havwe thought?
[09:04] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE: STRONGLY SUPPORT THE FINANCIAL RESCUE PACKAGE, URGES HOUSE TO PASS THE BILL SWIFTLY
[09:04] {esemde} was a very interesting book......one of the few I've read since coming to this board
[09:04] {Threei} we are bad influence...
[09:04] {Threei} people stop reading... shaving will be next to go
[09:05] {esemde} was not really about trading just some simple economics

[11:10] {Chaeron} good morning all
[11:11] {GeoArb} hey chaeron
[11:11] {Threei} chaeron :)
[11:12] {Threei} want to wait for pullback on AIG now for re-entry
[11:13] {Threei} and offer the balance somewhere above 5
[11:13] {Threei} no exact price, depending on how it spikes
[11:13] {Threei} NCC is not participating
[11:14] {Threei} WB
[11:14] {Threei} CEO: AGREEMENT WITH CITIGIROUP IS NOT BINDING, 'CONTROVERSY WILL BE ADDRESSED' - WSJ
[11:14] {Threei} {C WFC LPS}
[11:16] {Threei} somewhere around 4.70 probably AIG
[11:21] {Threei} finally pullback ABK
[11:21] {Threei} took .90
[11:22] {Threei} stop under .80
[11:22] {GeoArb} took 90?
[11:22] {magoo} full?
[11:22] {Threei} yeah, stop is tight enough
[11:23] {GeoArb} i am confused
[11:23] {GeoArb} break of 90?
[11:23] {Threei} bought .90
[11:23] {magoo} fell into .90..a bouncer
[11:23] {GeoArb} on the way down?
[11:23] {Threei} right when I posted it
[11:24] {magoo} not many fall upward
[11:24] {GeoArb} sheesh
[11:24] {Threei} not sure what cofuses you :)
[11:24] {cosmo} the universe falls up
[11:24] {magoo} really?
[11:24] {GeoArb} ahhhhhhh
[11:24] {Threei} mags don't forget, cosmo doesn't believe in gravity
[11:25] {cosmo} away from itself
[11:25] {GeoArb} you dont wanna know what i did
[11:25] {cosmo} into every direction
[11:25] {cosmo} ....but i digress
[11:25] {GeoArb} was staring at AIG
[11:25] {Threei} ohh
[11:26] {Threei} AIG I suggested closer to .70
[11:26] {Threei} hit .74
[11:26] {Threei} wasn't very clear there
[11:26] {Chaeron} I was waiting at .73.........
[11:26] {GeoArb} it hit 73 you filled chaer?
[11:26] {Chaeron} no
[11:26] {GeoArb} k
[11:27] {Chaeron} but I got ABK at .91
[11:27] {Threei} almost no trades at .73
[11:27] {Threei} just touched it and immediately bounced
[11:27] {Threei} still have original half lot from .70 break
[11:27] {Threei} wanted to add back half I sold at .90
[11:29] {GeoArb} quick Q
[11:29] {GeoArb} shaving prices doesnt work anymore right
[11:29] {Threei} SWEDEN'S RIKSBANK: SWEDEN'S PAYMENT SYSTEM DID NOT FAIL YESTERDAY
[11:29] {Threei} was it supposed to?
[11:29] {GeoArb} its distracting..... ill adjust the keys
[11:29] {Threei} why not?
[11:30] {GeoArb} the 4.7699 stuff
[11:30] {Threei} what happened to shaving?
[11:30] {magoo} boy..this mini rally makes the approach to mkt post bill approval difficult
[11:30] {magoo} could just sell the news
[11:30] {GeoArb} doesnt give priority to .77
[11:30] {magoo} on other hand..IF IF bill fails....crash
[11:30] {Threei} I didn't track these developments... was it posted scomewhere?
[11:31] {hawkfan4} NCC doing it's thing
[11:32] {Threei} AIG too
[11:33] {Threei} grabbed .65
[11:33] {Threei} astop under .60 for full lot
[11:34] {Threei} absence of shorts to soften pullbacks makes these drops truly frightening
[11:36] {hawkfan4} for real. And if there were shorts, NCC would probably have opened much higher
[11:36] {Threei} what can I say... market is being regulated by idiots
[11:36] {GeoArb} I heard a great quote yesterday
[11:37] {GeoArb} the US system was designed by geniuses so that it could be goverend by idiots
[11:37] {Threei} and so they do
