Nov 18 2008

Started out slow and boring, and for quite a while seemed to stay this way; even very nice GS trade hasn't brought much since it was offset by a few stops. Then last hour activity brightened the day as we were able to nail almost exact reversal point. All in all, ended up nicely.

Session Time: Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 2008

[08:48] {lisa_jay} Goodmorning everyone.

[08:48] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:49] {Threei} imagine being an investor in XTLB and waking up to this

[08:52] {lisa_jay} hope i got the time correct.
[08:52] {Threei} amazing adventures of hank and bernie?
[08:53] {magoo} is UAUIA news significant?
[08:53] {Threei} market doesn't think so
[08:54] {Threei} market serious recovery from lows
[08:54] {Threei} lifted by HPQ guidance I suppose
[08:54] {magoo} PPT being discussed on CNBC
[08:54] {magoo} so its real
[08:54] {magoo} no, now saying its crap
[08:54] {magoo} lol
[08:54] {Threei} lol
[08:55] {magoo} goes back to 87 crash...tooth fairy tales lol
[08:55] {magoo} hey vad, how can we lose taking some XTLB long? bottom is .07 cents
[08:55] {magoo} upside could be dollar
[08:56] {magoo} was news that bad?
[08:56] {Threei} I've no idea
[08:56] {Threei} I mean, it's bad,
[08:56] {Threei} but main question is
[08:56] {Threei} is this the end of the company? Or they have somehting else to fall back on?
[08:56] {magoo} well we take 1000 syhares it goes to zero..we lose 70 bux
[08:56] {Threei} I am not up to researching that, sorry :)
[08:57] {Threei} yeah, this kind of research I understand
[08:57] {magoo} 2k..140 bux risk..where am i missing here?
[08:57] {Threei} with only correction, I'd consider 150-200 bucks a non-issue
[08:57] {Threei} and took 2-3K
[08:57] {magoo} u did already?
[08:57] {Threei} no but finger on a trigger
[08:58] {Threei} ultimate risk-based setup
[08:59] {Threei} meaning, no idea what odds of it working are, but even if it's less than 50%, risk is negligible and upside is lucrative
[08:59] {lisa_jay} True Speculators....
[08:59] {Threei} how often do you get a shot at $1000 for the price of $150? :)
[09:00] {magoo} let me know when u go ok? im going too

[09:35] {Threei} no structured setup
[09:39] {dino} pru sm l .75 wide
[09:45] {Threei} Long Setup: ADBE 23 break half lot
[09:46] {Threei} stop under .80
[09:46] {Threei} for scalpers under .9-
[09:46] {Threei} .90
[09:52] {lisa_jay} Stopped on ADBE

[10:02] {Threei} Long Setup: DELL .52, stop under .40
[10:04] {laserdave1} magoo dcc please
[10:06] {Threei} FMCN some power
[10:06] {Threei} watching, not sure of entry yet
[10:07] {Threei} obvious setup is .40 break, little C&H
[10:07] {Threei} and nice juicy offer at .37 to take
[10:08] {Threei} will depend on where it bottoms out before break
[10:08] {Threei} ideally, if holding this .30 level
[10:10] {Threei} (US) FDIC BAIR: CONFIDENCE IN MARKETS HAS BEEN 'DEEPLY SHAKEN'
[10:11] {Threei} and I thought I was master of stating the obvious
[10:12] {lisa_jay} dELL still valid Vad?
[10:12] {Threei} DELL spiked into resistance a bit too fast
[10:12] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[10:12] {Threei} I'd love to see one more pullback before triggering
[10:12] {dino} urbn l .40 stop lod
[10:12] {Threei} too easy to turn into trap
[10:14] {Threei} any dive to or under .50 on DELL while market remains strong, going to grab it
[10:14] {Threei} chasing, nah... too tortured move
[10:15] {Threei} FMCN offer disappeared
[10:15] {Threei} too bad, was a great indication
[10:16] {lisa_jay} q;s reverse h&s?
[10:16] {Threei} nonetheless, still valid as long as you align position size with stop under .25, plus some slippage
[10:16] {Threei} yes lisa
[10:17] {Threei} DELL got away
[10:17] {Threei} oh well
[10:18] {Threei} Long Setup: INTC .11 if stays above 13
[10:21] {dptl} long intc,long fmcn
[10:22] {Threei} FMCN looks encouraging
[10:23] {Threei} stop can be trailed to under .30
[10:24] {Threei} these sudden market jerks are annoying
[10:27] {Threei} seeing these big bids on FMCN, I'd suggest stop trailing to under .35
[10:27] {Threei} risk will be minimized, and if those bids are hit or withdrawn, it's most likely will go lower anyway
[10:27] {Threei} makes sense?
[10:27] {dptl} yep
[10:27] {Threei} kewl
[10:28] {Onix} in FMCN 7.42 & INTC 13.11
[10:28] {Threei} ok market
[10:28] {Threei} time to do something stunningly stupid
[10:29] {lisa_jay} Same here Onix.
[10:29] {Threei} like go up couple hundred points
[10:29] {Threei} then look down, feel dizzy and drop all the way back
[10:29] {Onix} i like your attitude Vad
[10:30] {Threei} magoo... we have 1:1 on XTLB {VBG}
[10:30] {Threei} out FMCN
[10:30] {dptl} stopped fmcn
[10:30] {lisa_jay} FMCN Stopped
[10:31] {Threei} this was brilliant stop tightening
[10:31] {Threei} look how much it saved us
[10:32] {lisa_jay} :-)
[10:32] {Onix} stopped
[10:33] {Threei} extreme risk control here would be INTC stop trail to .04
[10:34] {Threei} not sure it's worth it
[10:34] {dino} clf sm l .90
[10:34] {Threei} decide for yorself depending on tolerance
[10:34] {Threei} chart wise it makes sense,
[10:35] {Threei} but with this market jerkiness it may be too easy to get stopped out prematurely
[10:35] {Threei} so it's more about whether those 5 cents saved are important for you
[10:37] {dino} clf stopped
[10:39] {dino} i am turning into a rinse machine,
[10:39] {Threei} market is set on a Wash Rinse Repeat cycle
[10:40] {dino} don't follow me today anyone, i'm trying different sizes/stops
[10:41] {Threei} now trailing to under .05 makes more sense on INTC
[10:44] {dino} urbn stopped -.17
[10:46] {magoo} vad, still in XTLB?
[10:46] {Threei} yeah but not delighted
[10:46] {magoo} no enthuisiam
[10:46] {Threei} this kind of drop often causes initial quick countereaction
[10:47] {Threei} when it's dragged out for so long, it can do anything
[10:47] {Threei} or nothing
[10:47] {magoo} longer it takes...nothing more likely
[10:48] {Threei} yeah
[10:48] {dino} uthr sm s .58, stop .08
[10:49] {Threei} I'll set a stop under .16 mags
[10:49] {dino} well that was fast
[10:49] {dino} i pretty much suck this week
[10:49] {Threei} mostly out of lack of desire to nutrure it
[10:50] {Threei} week just started dino... we both have a lot of opportunities to suck much more
[10:50] {lisa_jay} Breakouts are all failing.
[10:51] {Threei} we tried two so far, both did
[10:51] {hawkfan4} it could be worse, i suck and i have the ZLOB virus on my main machine

[11:33] {magoo} any interest in q play vad?
[11:35] {Threei} I wish I could see how
[11:36] {Threei} what I see is this untradable pattern:
[11:36] {Threei} loss of support,
[11:36] {Threei} immediate bounce with break of resistance
[11:36] {Threei} can't short breakdown,
[11:36] {magoo} i was thinking long
[11:36] {Threei} can't buy for bounce because it bottoms out with no indications,
[11:37] {Threei} doesn't form any bounce patterns, just goes up off some random point
[11:37] {Threei} this is a situation where any entry is practically just a crap shoot
[11:37] {muddleheaded} cosmo did you buy ONNN? Ther might be a break here.
[11:37] {magoo} feels like poer up

[11:48] {lisa_jay} Nope, did not go for it...

[12:19] {Threei} piracy was supposed to be this romanticized thing of the past... black patch over one eye, wooden leg, parrot on the shoulder, "ahoy mate"...
[12:19] {Geo} now its called investment bamking
[12:19] {Threei} bamking is right

[12:21] {Chaeron} BEIJING, Nov 18 (Reuters) - A Hong Kong cargo ship loaded with wheat bound for Iran has been hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden, the official Xinhua agency said on Tuesday citing China's maritime search and rescue centre.
[12:22] {Geo} wheat eh? wink wink
[12:22] {Threei} so they have bread and oil now
[12:22] {KSystems} what more do you need
[12:22] {KSystems} *sigh*
[12:22] {Threei} as soon as they hijack a ship loaded by CEDC, they are set
[12:29] {Threei} SENATOR SHELBY: THERE IS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING THE HEADS OF THE BIG THREE CAN SAY TO CONVINCE ME THEY DESERVE A BAILOUT
[12:29] {Threei} - Calls GM and Ford businesses based on a "failed model." A bailout would be "postponing the inevitable."
[12:30] {Threei} I think it was Unforgiven
[12:30] {Threei} "Deservin' ain't gotta do nothin' with it"
[12:31] {Threei} who cares whether they deserve it or not
[12:31] {Threei} think in categories of whether it's going to resolve something or not
[12:32] {dino} all they need is debtor guaranteed financing, chapter 11 bankruptcy. the govt. could do this much cheaper than forestalling the inevitable
[12:44] {Threei} whole discussion is somewhat out of this universe
[12:44] {Threei} I don't see anyone seriously addressing what is going to change the situation if they get money
[12:45] {Threei} is it just to finance current patroll and other expenses?
[12:45] {Threei} what to do after they burn through it?
[12:45] {Threei} if not, what is the money for?}
[12:50] {Geo} .
[12:51] {Threei} yeah
[12:51] {Geo} ok still here

[13:05] {Threei} - no revisions
[13:05] {Threei} - Reports notes that new lenders have pulled back as far as offering new loans
[13:05] {Threei} - NAHB Chmn "Tremendous economic uncertainties have driven consumers from the housing market, and it's going to take some major incentives to bring them back"
[13:07] {magoo} are we breaching any important support levels here?
[13:07] {Threei} not yet for NASDAQ
[13:07] {Threei} nor on DJI
[13:11] {Threei} this patient sitting out takes more energy than actually doing something, lol
[13:11] {Geo} why vad?

[13:12] {Geo} yo doing situps?

[13:18] {Threei} RIMM... .80 break short if stays under 45
[13:18] {Threei} smaller shares, bigger hold
[13:19] {Threei} 20-25 cents stop is not much fore smaller shares
[13:19] {magoo} i actually shorted 45 and covered .80
[13:19] {Threei} why not
[13:19] {magoo} i did
[13:20] {dawg} in .98
[13:20] {Threei} nah
[13:21] {dawg} 200 shares
[13:22] {dawg} stop .27
[13:29] {peterg} RiMM doomed to cycle around 45 till something happens
[13:30] {peterg} everyone hypnotized?
[13:30] {peterg} take that as a yes
[13:31] {Threei} pretty much
[13:32] {Threei} believe it or not, even flow of smap e-mails slowed down to a crawl over last couple weeks
[13:32] {Threei} spam
[13:32] {Threei} used to get couple hundred a day, now barely 30
[13:37] {Threei} RIMM works for you dawg
[13:39] {dawg} out RIMM .66 +31 thanks Vad
[13:39] {Threei} welcome sir
[13:39] {dawg} .31
[13:39] {dawg} not a big winner but beats chasing cars
[13:39] {Threei} certainly
[13:39] {dawg} .)
[13:44] {Threei} took little QID
[13:45] {Threei} stop under 84.80
[13:45] {Threei} don't chase it
[13:45] {Threei} too volatile
[13:45] {Threei} got 85.11
[13:46] {Threei} WSJ: ONLINE SPENDING GROWTH AT LOWEST RATE SINCE 2001
[13:46] {Threei} {GOOG YHOO}
[13:46] {Threei} out .61
[13:49] {Threei} too soon
[13:52] {dino} the pattern may continue - - - + - - - (3 big down, one big up)
[13:53] {Threei} so, tomorrow's up?
[13:53] {dino} would like to see 8,050 area hold for higher low at least, previous was 7,965 11-13 and 7,880 in 2nd week oct.
[13:54] {dino} yes 3i, that has been dji pattern of late
[13:54] {Threei} we are about 150 from there
[13:54] {Threei} which in today's term can be a matter of 5 minutes of trading, lol
[13:54] {dino} i see it
[13:54] {dino} the bigger problem, imo, is we kep topping out lower.
[13:55] {Threei} and overall daily chart from let's say beginning of August is looking anything but bullish
[13:55] {dino} 9,625 11/4; 8,945 11/7; 8,835 11/13
[13:56] {Threei} inverted head and shoulder failed a few days ago
[13:56] {Threei} lows get threatened time and again
[13:56] {dino} triangle forming, which means, imo, a bigger move up or down on the break of it. i defer to you tho, as admittedly i don't know much about triangles
[13:57] {Threei} there is not much to know actually...
[13:57] {Threei} they are simple as rake
[13:57] {dino} que?
[13:58] {peterg} sake? japanese beverage
[13:58] {dino} :)
[13:58] {dino} but seriously, rake? explain
[13:59] {Threei} just a joking comparison... I mean, what is complicated about rake? :)
[13:59] {dino} roflol, trying to "see" into your mind
[13:59] {Geo} really vad
[13:59] {Threei} that should give you whole two minutes of work
[14:00] {dino} so, you too, keep it simple i see
[14:00] {Threei} keeping what simple?
[14:00] {Threei} :)
[14:01] {Threei} awww
[14:02] {Threei} thought of 85 as QID entry
[14:02] {Threei} and hesitated,
[14:02] {Threei} it did feel at the moment like another drop was coming
[14:02] {Threei} anyway... market bounce is more likely now
[14:03] {Threei} Qs long with stop under .60 worth a try
[14:03] {magoo} i like that
[14:03] {magoo} was gonna post
[14:04] {Threei} if you got Qs, chose between scalp and try for closer to 28
[14:04] {lisa_jay} entry Vad?

[14:04] {dawg} in .69
[14:04] {Threei} good pullback for entry

[14:06] {Threei} come on market, show some spine
[14:07] {Threei} GOOG CEO SCHMID: OPTIMISTIC THE ECONOMY WILL RECOVER

[14:08] {lisa_jay} Stopped.
[14:08] {dino} 02:07 p.m. est.; "dino confident economy will recover too, timing uncertain."
[14:11] {lisa_jay} Well, i am out of q's play, so we should see good rally here :-)
[14:12] {Threei} it's dino's fault
[14:12] {Threei} he should have reiterated his confidence 1 min sooner
[14:12] {Threei} crap... lol
[14:13] {dino} c'mon i'm rehersing to be an analyist for the big boys
[14:19] {magoo} markets due for a bounce...TIMING uncertain lol
[14:19] {Threei} uhhu

[14:44] {Threei} he is upset because he hoped for a stop, looked forward to 5 years of fun in that monastery

[14:52] {Threei} that policy didn't do much good for Japan
[14:52] {Threei} and in fct trapped it in a decade-long stagnation
[14:53] {Chaeron} and you think that the people in power here are any brighter????
[14:53] {Threei} god forbid
