[08:59] {patience} what was my bet with you if oil hit 80? I never took it seriously....sigh
[08:59] {patience} good morning rt
[09:00] {Threei} does it mean that I can claim any prize I want? :)
[09:00] {Threei} good morning patience
[09:00] {patience} hum de dum...let me think through this
[09:00] {patience} need coffee first :)
[09:01] {esemde} morning.......coffee with a hypodermic needle please
[09:01] {Threei} ese :)
[09:01] {Threei} my true forecast for myself is much lower than 80 actually... I just didn't want to be considered insane so stopped at 80
[09:01] {Threei} and btw it didn't help, I was considered insane anyway
[09:02] {Threei} DELL under 15
[09:02] {Threei} some sertious bargains start shaping up
[09:03] {Threei} RIMM under 60 - had tyou ever thought you'd see this?
[09:03] {esemde} nope!
[09:04] {Threei} NVDA solidly under 9
[09:04] {Threei} sheesh
[09:05] {esemde} thinkinga bout buying more.......
[09:05] {Threei} what's your cost basis now?
[09:05] {esemde} stupidity can only last for so long
[09:06] {esemde} 11.40
[09:06] {patience} cramer this morning: i'm not buying, because prices are going lower. I bought last thursday, 95% cash committed now.
[09:06] {Threei} hmmm
[09:06] {patience} will cash in gold short term trades this morning
[09:06] {Threei} his record in calling major market turns is dismall
[09:09] {_xzap} my gap down scanners are showing a lot of good stocks that have been cut by 50% or more
[09:09] {magoo} in july cramer put up article that we had seen the bottom
[09:09] {magoo} vad, whats your take on today?humor me..i know u wait and see..but hey...where u think we headed?
[09:09] {Threei} we are closer and closer to market turn
[09:10] {Threei} I would expect first serious ramp up sometime today
[09:10] {GeoArb} gm
[09:10] {Threei} not an ultimate turn most likely, but first attempts of it
[09:10] {Threei} Geo :)
[09:11] {Threei} ideally, we don't get rally atempts too early in the day,
[09:11] {Threei} those would be sold.
[09:11] {Threei} However, if we get this hopeless bleak relentless selling pressure for a few hours,
[09:11] {Threei} then I'd expect very strong rally in second half of the day.
[09:12] {Threei} On a broader time frame, when major rally starts,
[09:12] {patience} i'm guessing fed rate cut this week....must be the last one to say it though :)
[09:12] {Threei} I want to start switching out of scalp mode
[09:12] {Threei} because when that rally comes, serious money is to be made
[09:13] {Threei} WB forming C&H on 1 min
[09:14] {Threei} 6.11 resistance... as much as premarket charts can be trusted
[09:14] {magoo} vad, u/we had good read on friday reaction..\
[09:15] {Threei} let's try not to bee too early on initiating longs
[09:15] {Threei} stay patient, premature attempts will do nothing but harm
[09:16] {Threei} but when real reverse comes, you will be happy you kept your powder dry
[09:16] {magoo} vad, if we do get decent reversal, lets keep eye on usualsRIMM, AAPL
[09:16] {Threei} those, yes,
[09:16] {Threei} plus DELL, NVDA
[09:16] {Threei} maybe solars although this sector is not very clear
[09:17] {GeoArb} hey vad I updated to 5.3.332 and cant login anymore :( any ideas?
[09:17] {Threei} how long have you waited?
[09:17] {Threei} first login takes longer than usual after update
[09:17] {GeoArb} till it gives me the error dialog box
[09:17] {Threei} hmmm
[09:17] {GeoArb} saying password is case sensitive
[09:18] {dino} gm all
[09:18] {Threei} dino :)
[09:18] {Threei} call dave Geo
[09:18] {Threei} oh btw, got e-mail from bruce
[09:18] {Threei} hello to everyone
[09:18] {Threei} and this observation:
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you
[09:19] {Threei} will have $49.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have
[09:19] {Threei} $33.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei} If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you
[09:19] {Threei} will have $0.00 today.
[09:19] {Threei}
[09:19] {Threei} But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the
[09:19] {Threei} beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have
[09:19] {Threei} received a $214.00.
[09:19] {Threei}
[09:19] {Threei} Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily &
[09:19] {Threei} recycle. In the States it's called the 401-Keg.
[09:19] {magoo} sigh..took 2 cups coffee to realize my milk is spouiled
[09:19] {GeoArb} ewwww

[11:29] {GeoArb} we are patriotic
[11:29] {Threei} well, admittedly I was too hesitant in the early morning
[11:30] {Threei} but heck, we are nicely in the money while whole world is hurting like hell
[11:31] {Threei} REP FRANK: PLANS TO ASK THE FED TO REGULATE THE ACTIVITIES OF HEDGE FUNDS
[11:31] {Threei} what the...
[11:32] {peterg} lot of resistance at 7 uaua
[11:32] {Threei} yup
[11:32] {Threei} no aggressive entries
[11:32] {Threei} doesn't retreat much with NQ
[11:32] {GeoArb} waat?
[11:34] {Threei} not interested in DELL on this pullback for now
[11:35] {_xzap} MNST
[11:36] {Threei} market fairly unclear here, easy trades are done for now
[11:36] {Threei} let's wait it out a little,
[11:36] {Threei} see what's next in the store
[11:37] {Threei} MNST looks tempting... just k,ind of hard to bring oneself to buy breakouts today
[11:37] {dino} jst sm l .82 wide
[11:38] {Threei} UAUA invalidated for now
[11:41] {Threei} getting tempted to short NVDA on .80 breakdown
[11:42] {Threei} .91 stop
[11:42] {Threei} just a scalp
[11:42] {Threei} DNDN is crazy
[11:43] {esemde} Does anyone have a good idea re the percent of a float thats short will cntribute to a major short squeeze
[11:43] {esemde} for any stock......5% 9% 10% ???
[11:43] {Threei} you mean where to find it?
[11:43] {Threei} oh... nah, there is no guideline
[11:43] {esemde} no.......just % of float short
[11:44] {esemde} NVDA is 9.84% short one of the biggest ones....if it ever turns around it will be big
[11:45] {esemde} how do you keep kicking the crap out of a company that basically has no debt.....and billions in cash hanging around for R&D
[11:45] {Threei} doesn't matter ese... it just goes with market at this point
[11:46] {esemde} true
[11:46] {esemde} or should i say indeed
[11:46] {Threei} indeed you should
[11:47] {dino} fed started paying interest on reserves it holds from others today. the printing presses are wide open
[11:47] {Threei} let's trail NVDA stop to .86
[11:47] {Threei} want to keep risk tighter than usual today
[11:49] {Threei} 1:1 is coming
[11:49] {Threei} make up your mind, scalp or partial
[11:49] {Threei} here is 1:1 NVDA
[11:50] {Threei} if taking half, trail stop to .81
[11:50] {Threei} for the balance that is
[11:50] {Threei} and we are 8 for 10
[11:50] {Threei} or 7 for 9?
[11:51] {Chaeron} whatever... let's go for 18:20
[11:51] {Threei} who is running the books??

[11:57] {Threei} now Mr Evans makes me think,,, give me his salary and bonuses, I can do better:
[11:57] {Threei} FED'S EVANS: FED MUST ALWAYS REEVALUATE POLICY WITH TWIN MANDATES, SEEING RISKS OF PERSISTENT HIGH INFLATION
[11:57] {Threei} - Notes that the repricing of debt will affect a large range of financial institutions, slack in economy stronger than expected
[11:57] {Threei} - Remarks that continued weakness in housing is large 'drag' upon economy
[11:57] {Threei} - US Economy will be slow to 2009, very uncertain when recovery will come
[11:57] {Threei} slack in economy stronger than expected?
[11:57] {Threei} by whome?
[11:58] {Threei} sigh
[11:58] {Threei} useless talking heads

[12:09] {Threei} WB HALTED, NEWS PENDING
[12:11] {_xzap} NVDA setting up for long ?
[12:11] {Threei} I'd stay away for now
[12:12] {Threei} no clean setup, and it looks more like random movements at this point
[12:12] {_xzap} k
[12:12] {Threei} you saw all our trades up to this moment
[12:12] {_xzap} yep
[12:12] {Threei} only cleanest of setups,
[12:12] {Threei} lowest risk possible
[12:13] {Threei} not gicving any slack today
[12:13] {_xzap} yes, I see that.. this is a tough mkt
[12:14] {Threei} not necessary tough if you stay very disciplined and patient,
[12:14] {Threei} but it's unforgiving,
[12:14] {Threei} and with emotions running that hihg, price of mistake can be high
[12:14] {_xzap} I'm thinking maybe we need this selloff to shake things out and start to build a base
[12:14] {Threei} I agre
[12:14] {Threei} or agree
[12:14] {Threei} or both
[12:15] {Threei} as I said in the morning,
[12:15] {Threei} I believe we are in the process of form the bottom for a big rally
[12:15] {Threei} and this selloff is part of this process
[12:16] {Threei} and when I say big rally, I don't mean intraday one
[12:16] {Threei} I mean real one
[12:16] {Threei} full blow bull market
[12:16] {Threei} blown

[13:57] {Threei} Nato commanders to draw up plans to defend ex-Soviet bloc members from Russia
[13:57] {GeoArb} so is anyone going to jail?
[13:57] {GeoArb} One Lehman document among thousands reviewed by the House committee showed that four days before the bank filed for bankruptcy protection, Lehman’s compensation committee was asked to grant $20 million in “special payments” for three executives who were leaving, Mr. Waxman said. An e-mail exchange recommending a delay in bonus payments was apparently brushed aside.
[13:59] {Threei} so bonuses were granted?
[13:59] {GeoArb} Another document showed that executives were warned in a January 2008 meeting that the company was facing liquidity problems. Yet the firm moved forward with capital outlays, including $5 billion in bonuses, $4 billion in shares and $750,000 in dividend payments between 2007 and the firm’s bankruptcy filing on Sept. 15.
[13:59] {GeoArb} i thought bankruptcy had bonus clawback provisions no?
[14:04] {Threei} what if they already spend it?
[14:04] {Threei} transfered out of country
[14:04] {Threei} numbered offshore accounts
[14:04] {GeoArb} whatever happenned to the risk part of reward?
[14:04] {Threei} that's for us
[14:04] {Threei} for them it's pure reward
[14:04] {Threei} you heard Leh Ceo
[14:05] {dino} stopped fcx
[14:05] {GeoArb} i have come to the conclusion that capitalism something sold to the masses...
[14:05] {GeoArb} its chummy socialism on top
[14:05] {Threei} "company did well, we did well..y didn't do well, neiether did we"

[16:00] {Threei} at least
