[08:59] {cosmo} how about those you don't trust...mags
[09:02] {Raven}  I trust all of you turkeys had a nice Thanksgiving ...
[09:02] {KSystems} good morning!
[09:02] {Threei}  Raven, ks :)
[09:02] {cosmo} i managed to keep my head ....
[09:03] {Raven}  nice! :)
[09:03] {cosmo} one more year
[09:04] {Raven}  one less year
[09:05] {cosmo} pesimist
[09:05] {Raven}  sigh ... pessimist
[09:06] {cosmo} sigh...agree
[09:06] {Threei}  C strength
[09:07] {Raven}  back to reality

[09:08] {Raven}  est
[09:08] {Raven}  that is Eastern Standard Time not an estimate
[09:09] {cosmo} then what?  ... go shopping?
[09:09] {Raven}  start drinking
[09:09] {cosmo} ah
[09:09] {Onix} Good morning all
[09:09] {magoo} ty
[09:11] {Threei}  onix :)
[09:18] {ese} morning......how long is the market open today?
[09:18] {KSystems} Raven was estimating 1pm ;-)
[09:18] {KSystems} hi ese
[09:19] {ese} hey ksys
[09:19] {KSystems} 1pm EST is correct
[09:19] {ese} tks
[09:19] {Threei}  ese :)
[09:19] {ese} morning vad....
[09:19] {dino} gm all
[09:19] {Threei}  dino :)
[09:19] {ese} dino
[09:20] {KSystems} morning
[09:20] {Threei}  this thanksgiving short day is usually marked by very thin trading and big volatility
[09:20] {Threei}  let's be careful, try to nail couple relatively safe onces
[09:21] {magoo} u leaning long?traditionally up day but we are up already past sev trading sessions and europe down
[09:21] {Threei}  true
[09:22] {Threei}  my feeling is, we ought to go green
[09:22] {Threei}  but I am willing to act on that feeling only when I see confirmation
[09:22] {magoo} i know we need to let it develope..but like always..wondering your thoughts
[09:22] {Threei}  supports holding, resistances broken, good support on pullbacks
[09:23] {dino} fwiw, last week of oct bounced from 8143-9454, roughly 1300 pts, last week nov 7449-8726, roughly 1300 pts
[09:24] {dino} end of month mark-ups, imo
[09:24] {Threei}  same points, but percentage grows
[09:25] {dino} which is more bothersome
[09:25] {Threei}  if we go down to 100 points Dow, can you imagine the percentages of bounces? :)
[09:25] {dino} i think govt said off the cuff, end of month mark ups being ignored for now 
[09:25] {ese} anyone catch this instantaneous volume in AAUK 500k shs
[09:26] {Threei}  at 11.63, yeah
[09:26] {Threei}  looks more like some kind of external print rather than real time trade to me
[09:26] {ese} tks
[09:27] {ese} was there any recent news for AAUK Vad
[09:29] {Threei}  not that I see
[09:29] {ese} tks
[09:32] {Threei}  watching C for pullback
[09:32] {magoo} me too
[09:34] {Threei}  OK, GM, pullback to .25 .30 area to watch
[09:34] {Threei}  or .50 break if consolidates a little above .35 .40
[09:35] {Threei}  C just want pull back for us
[09:35] {Threei}  won't
[09:42] {Threei}  sharp selling GM
[09:45] {wishbone} gm all
