[09:56] {Threei} "they don't make glasses so deep-pink that I need to find anything nice about you" VBG}
[09:57] {Threei} trust me, the remaining 9 are way way worse {G}
[09:57] {magoo} give me a worse one/...i respond better to negativity
[09:57] {Threei} lol
[09:58] {Threei} let's see if 101 acts as rejecting resistance for USO
[09:58] {Threei} if so, UAUA is play
[09:58] {Threei} reminder, what we want to see is sharp long red bar on USO
[09:58] {Threei} and UAUA giving delay for entry
[09:59] {lars} that worked great yesterday by the way
[09:59] {magoo} what is UAUA again,seriouslty?
[09:59] {Threei} airline
[09:59] {Threei} United
[09:59] {magoo} man..am i a daytrader or what?
[09:59] {Threei} established pattern of moving in inverted relation to oil
[09:59] {magoo} i truly do not know even the companies we hit repeadily
[09:59] {lars} lol magoo
[10:00] {Threei} I don't know most of them either :)
[10:00] {lars} it shows on my chart thats how i know
[10:00] {Threei} it's just that some names become players because of certain ceircumstances
[10:00] {Threei} and familiarizing myself with ceircumstances I come to an idea of aa trade
[10:01] {Threei} in the rest of cases I simply go wirth setups as they form
[10:01] {Threei} what does SYMC do?
[10:01] {Threei} {shrug}
[10:01] {Threei} day trader's answer:
[10:01] {lars} anti virus
[10:01] {Threei} it formed JBE and made us money
[10:01] {Threei} ah, it's Symantec?
[10:02] {lars} believe so
[10:02] {Threei} cool... I use their product AND make money of their stock?
[10:02] {lars} :)
[10:02] {Threei} double use? I love the company, lol
[10:03] {Threei} this USO/UAUA move was not very useable to me
[10:06] {kazaam} PCLN?
[10:06] {Threei} gosh... how do you manage to select stocks that move 50 cents in a single breath? :)
[10:06] {lars} USO new low
[10:06] {kazaam} lol
[10:07] {Threei} let'
[10:07] {Threei} s see how far UAUA can follow it
[10:08] {Threei} 10:06 USO bar was good enough for entry, 8.52 - .53 was available
[10:08] {Threei} I would expect it to be much higher already
[10:08] {Threei} new low USO but no new high UAUA
[10:09] {Threei} pattern maybe dying
[10:09] {lars} UAUA doesnt want to crack 8.60
[10:10] {Threei} check other airlines to see if the pattern stops working for all of them or its UAUA specific
[10:10] {Threei} NWA, DAL
[10:10] {Threei} I don't see any of them making new high on new USO low
[10:11] {Threei} so there is a good chance this trading idea is on its last leg
[10:11] {dptl} skyw may be
[10:12] {dptl} also air
[10:12] {Threei} same chart
[10:12] {lars} 100 USO support.... for now....
[10:12] {Threei} JBLU interesting chart for 5.50 break

[10:15] {magoo} WOW alxn
[10:21] {kazaam} any ideas for HK?
[10:22] {Threei} range 32 - 32.50...
[10:22] {Threei} a bit too wide to play break
[10:22] {Threei} stop to .18 SNDK
[10:23] {Threei} don't want to give them breathing room as market moves farther from opening

[15:17] {Threei} this slowness came about just last week, and only after couple active hours in the morning
[15:17] {kazaam} its seems the best way to play the summer would be to trade the morning and then take the rest of the day off....or is that just offensively lazy
[15:17] {Threei} no such thing as offensively lazy
[15:17] {Threei} lazy is good
[15:17] {Threei} in my eyes at least

[10:14] {Threei} do we get that lucky to see USO losing 97.50?
[10:15] {Threei} watchinf FNM for pullback entry
[10:15] {Threei} aww... missed

[10:17] {Threei} not sure here, lol
[10:19] {magoo} vad, any news BIDU?
[10:19] {Threei} no
[10:19] {magoo} ty
[10:24] {Threei} in .82
[10:24] {judijim} new stradegy this week, wanted to trade more days, in long and short, today in 10 minutes made on shorts $859
[10:24] {Threei} .75 stop
[10:25] {magoo} in what
[10:25] {Threei} FNM
[10:25] {Threei} nice going jj
[10:25] {Threei} stopped
[10:25] {Threei} my timing is off on this thing today
[10:26] {judijim} we're still watching today but protect profit and back in tomorrow
[10:26] {Threei} good discipline
[10:29] {magoo} how u supposed to make 3k if u stop at 800 he he
[10:29] {esemde} bstop invalidated PDCO
[10:36] {Threei} UAUA
[10:36] {Threei} in
[10:37] {Threei} sharp dive USO, UAUA delayed reaction
[10:37] {magoo} where u in?
[10:37] {Threei} .83
[10:37] {magoo} .90
[10:38] {hawkfan4} .79
[10:38] {Threei} hawk put us all to shame
[10:38] {Threei} out +.20
[10:38] {magoo} again
[10:38] {hawkfan4} but i missed the first one
[10:39] {lars} out +.15 ty
[10:40] {magoo} out here .15, + .25
[10:40] {Threei} good job guys
[10:40] {Threei} wtg lars
06[10:40] * magoo slaps lars around a bit with a large trout
[10:41] {Threei} this is conceptual trade, as long as you understand the idea of it you don't need me to call exact levels
[10:41] {Threei} sharp move by the leading indicator (USO in this case), delayed reaction on the follower giving window for entry
[10:42] {Threei} look at the size of red bar on USO at 10:37
[10:43] {Threei} look at according time on UAUA chart
[10:43] {Threei} that's your window of opportunity
[10:43] {Threei} avoid temptation to play UAUA off any USO tick
[10:43] {Threei} it's this bug sudden one that you want
[10:43] {Threei} bug = big
[10:47] {Threei} FNM did same thing but I am avoiding it today
[10:47] {Threei} it likes me not
[10:51] {magoo} but i still like u
[10:52] {esemde} Vad have you got a way of determining Bull traps....Thats what i seem to be getting alot of these days
[10:52] {esemde} breakouts retreating significantly
[10:53] {esemde} ie..PDCO had a buy stop in there but decided not to go for it and it did retreat
[10:54] {Threei} ese, these days are dictated by oil
[10:54] {Threei} stocks rarely move on their own merit
[10:54] {Threei} standard setups are being distorted by this correlation
[10:59] {kazaam} MHP L .54
[11:01] {kazaam} yeah, the jbe plays hardly worked last week, I had to start learning new stuff! imagine that
[11:02] {Threei} plus, overall - in highly volatile markets aggressive entries are usually woriking better
[11:02] {magoo} sigh
[11:02] {kazaam} out +.13
[11:02] {Threei} wtg
[11:03] {magoo} i wish i could take aggrssive enytries
[11:03] {Threei} lol
[11:03] {kazaam} man i have been the king of getting out too early this morning
[11:03] {Threei} look who is talking... probably molst aggressive entrist (if that's a word) in da room
06[11:04] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[11:04] {magoo} nah...yesterday if u didn;t scalp u get waffled
[11:04] {kazaam} mmmmmm waffled
06[11:04] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[11:05] {laserdave1} magoober
[11:05] {laserdave1} Vadsterrrrrr
[11:05] {laserdave1} hows it going guys
[11:05] {laserdave1} i missed u too magoo
06[11:05] * laserdave1 slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[11:05] {magoo} good..how are u?
[11:05] {magoo} :)
[11:05] {laserdave1} good thanks
[11:06] {magoo} vad, room nice and quiet without me??
[11:06] {Threei} yes, excpet when we talked about you
[11:06] {magoo} he he
[11:06] {magoo} all negative i presume
[11:06] {Threei} and loud
[11:06] {Threei} :)
[11:06] {laserdave1} when i was bored i would just type it out even though you were not here
[11:07] {Threei} OK{ something has changed
[11:07] {laserdave1} laserdave1 hits magoo in the but with a large trout
[11:07] {Threei} both USO and UAUA went up
[11:07] {hawkfan4} UAUA strong
[11:07] {Threei} backing off until we figure it out
[11:18] {kazaam} oil looks ready to pop up
[11:18] {Threei} I am hesitant to call it... look at last similar setup it formed
[11:19] {Threei} from 10:10 to 10:30 approx
[11:19] {Threei} looked ready to break out and pop, and dumped hard instead
[11:20] {Threei} if it holds as a pattern, it will fall to 97 now :)
[11:20] {kazaam} bear flag at 10:!0 to 10:30, kinda looks like head and shoulder now
[11:21] {magoo} to bad we can't short uso
[11:21] {Threei} we can short OIH
[11:22] {magoo} oh right
[11:37] {Threei} and now for the wisdom from above:
[11:37] {Threei} TREASURY'S MCCORMICK: OIL PRICES ARE A HUGE BURDEN ON THE US ECONOMY
[11:37] {Threei} no, really?
[11:38] {kazaam} i think i speak for everybody, without government analysis we would be lost
[11:38] {Threei} like scared children in the darkness
[11:38] {Threei} and the most scary thing is
[11:38] {Threei} magoo would try to get me to hold his hand
[11:39] {magoo} that does it!!!!
[11:39] {Threei} oops
06[11:39] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
06[11:39] * Threei ducks
[11:58] {kazaam} MHP, 40.00 daily support, how do you think that will hold if the market turns downward?
[11:58] {Threei} doubt it
[11:59] {kazaam} tks
[12:13] {Threei} FSLR reports tomorrow
[12:14] {Threei} probable followers LDK, CSIQ
[12:14] {hawkfan4} that's always entertaining
[12:17] {Threei} I am morally, mentally and ethically ready for another big oil drop
[12:19] {Threei} I'd say, USO at 95 would bring tears of joy to my eyes
[12:22] {hawkfan4} mine too, and the sooner the beter
[12:32] {Threei} loss of .80 should launch next leg down USO
[12:33] {Threei} especially if stays under 98
[13:02] {magoo} .
[13:02] {magoo} 29 minutes of silence
[13:02] {Threei} see anything moving?
[13:03] {Threei} unless you want to scalp for 5 cents, thnere is nothing out there
[13:03] {GeoArb} emn?
[13:03] {magoo} i was hoping u did
[13:05] {Threei} not sure Geo
[13:05] {GeoArb} pulled back and approaching lows agfain
[13:07] {GeoArb} scalped 10 cents but got out as didnt have vad validation hehehe

[15:26] {peterg} very talky philosophical
[15:27] {peterg} camerman learning to shoot distant pans
[15:27] {Threei} thing is, that's half of the package
[15:27] {Threei} there was a book first,
[15:27] {Threei} very dynamic
[15:27] {kazaam} the ending of stalker was the best
[15:27] {Threei} real page turner
[15:27] {peterg} with the telekinesis?
[15:27] {Threei} called Roadside Picnic
[15:27] {kazaam} yeah
[15:27] {kazaam} so you suggest reading the book?
[15:27] {Threei} then movie was filmed,
[15:27] {kazaam} which is slower?
[15:28] {Threei} based purely on underlying phylosophical message
[15:28] {Threei} if you read the book, you may appreciate the movie
[15:28] {Threei} if not, it's pure zzzz
[15:28] {Threei} book was very dynamic, kaz
[15:29] {Threei} nothing like movie
[15:29] {kazaam} i am going to take a gamble and assume the book is more entertaining than the markets right now
[15:29] {Threei} and Stalker himself is a very colorful figure
[15:30] {peterg} there was something gripping & involving, but I can't figure out what
[15:30] {peterg} The pace was glacial.
[15:30] {Threei} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic
[15:31] {Threei} A Roadside Picnic film based on the novel is now in development by Columbia TriStar, to feature John Travolta, with a 2008 release date

[09:13] {Threei} when you become comfortable with tools, you can focus on utilizing them
[09:14] {Threei} slappng dave with herring helps too
[09:14] {peterg} looking forward to it

[09:33] {Threei} stop under 7
[09:33] {Threei} too fast?
[09:33] {Threei} no chasing
[09:34] {Threei} it gives sudden "teleportations" up and down
[09:34] {Threei} one of such to the downside gives an entry chance for fast traders
[09:34] {Threei} but have to time it with USO moves
[09:35] {Threei} over 1:1 if anyone got it (doubtfully)
[09:35] {magoo} i did :)
[09:35] {Threei} wow... some got nice rest

[09:42] {Threei} here comes sizeable pullback UAUA
[09:42] {Threei} USO drop will give an entry now
[09:43] {Threei} 99.50 break should launch next leg down
[09:46] {Threei} die USO
[09:47] {kazaam} did fnm already waste its bounce?
[09:47] {kazaam} or you think its got another?
[09:48] {Threei} didn't pull back deep enough for me
[09:48] {Threei} it haas ranges wider than this
[09:48] {Threei} here goes USO
[09:49] {Threei} if you got UAUA, stop under .20
[09:49] {magoo} vad, FNM?
06[09:49] * Threei hits USO over the head with 2x4
[09:50] {Threei} feels like should dive deeper FNM
[09:50] {Threei} under 12
[09:50] {Threei} watch for quick selling
[09:50] {kazaam} awww, the 2x4 is sometimes for subtle than the boots
[09:51] {Threei} 2x4 works
[09:52] {kazaam} amgn break high or low a decent play?
[09:52] {Threei} can't get a grip on it kaz... not sure
[09:53] {Threei} feel free to scalp or partial here on UAUA
[09:54] {Threei} with entry about .35, nicely above 1:1
[09:56] {Threei} FNM should lose 12 now

[09:59] {Threei} yup, I am a sucker for flashing lights too
[10:00] {Threei} and you have dave to slap as a bonus
[10:00] {Threei} icing on a cake so to speak
[10:00] {peterg} where is he
[10:00] {Threei} slacking
[10:00] {Threei} which gets him double trout when he wakes up
[10:00] {Threei} but if you need urgent help, phone him

[12:21] {magoo} its been 18 mins
[12:22] {Threei} someone got too precise watch
[12:38] {Threei} both USO and market got locked in a narrow range
[12:39] {Threei} USO break of 99.50 should re-energize the market
[12:40] {magoo} vad, was there recent negative news with aapl?
[12:41] {Threei} nothing ground shaking
[12:44] {Threei} USO chose to spike instead
[12:44] {Threei} btw magoo
[12:44] {magoo} uh oh
[12:44] {Threei} last two days on last week were first days that looked like typical summer

[12:46] {Threei} just wanted to alert about slight pattern change you and lars, since you weren't here last week

[13:10] {Threei} FED'S MISHKIN: INFLATION TARGET SHOULD BE HEADLINE, NOT CORE, AS CORE MAY BE A BIASED MEASURE OF LONG RUN INFLATION - Q&A
[13:10] {Threei} - Reacting too much to headline and not core inflation couldn lead to bad outcomes, core inflation does not contain important information for policy makers.
[13:10] {Threei} - Expects inflation to drop to around 2% in the next three years.
[13:10] {Threei} - The recent drop in oil is "very welcome."
[13:29] {magoo} uso breaks .50 vad
[13:30] {Threei} not sure about follow throuigh
[13:32] {Threei} the only way right now to play this kind of moves is if it drops sharply and UAUA gives a delay enough for entry
[13:35] {Threei} this UAUA pullback creates good base for entry - IF USO drops fast from here

[09:40] {Threei} peter :)
[09:40] {Threei} over 1:1 QCOM
[09:40] {Threei} and feels not done
[09:40] {Threei} but risk is huge on it
[09:40] {Threei} so secure profit
[09:41] {Threei} half out .40
[09:41] {Threei} scalpers grab your profit and be happy
[09:41] {Threei} ARBA??
[09:42] {Threei} what the?
[09:43] {Threei} stop .89 for QCOM balance
[09:44] {Threei} anyone sees anything on ARBA?
[09:45] {peterg} watching ARBA makes me want to buy it
[09:46] {Threei} resist the temptation...
[09:46] {peterg} right
[09:46] {Threei} it'll drop like crazy the second after you succumb
[09:46] {Threei} but first pullback is usually bought
[09:46] {Threei} so it will give a chance
[09:47] {Threei} there you go - right on cue, would have killed your wentry
[09:47] {Threei} -w
[09:47] {peterg} killed em both
[09:48] {Threei} entry and wentry?
[09:48] {peterg} yep
[09:48] {Threei} observing USO/UAUA, relation is there
[09:50] {Threei} let ARBA come to you, 15.50 is the only more or less real support for it
[09:50] {Threei} if it bottoms out too high just let it be
[09:51] {peterg} too strong for short?
[09:52] {Threei} can't tell really... it moves on no news, possibly hyped somewhere... can run inti nasty short squeeze
[09:52] {Threei} or can just run out of gas and die
[09:52] {Threei} no way to tell really
[09:53] {kazaam} NSC, first market strength might breakout
[09:53] {kazaam} ?
[09:53] {Threei} stock shoots up buck and half with no downtick
[09:53] {Threei} yes kaz
[09:54] {Threei} typical salmonish formation
[09:54] {kazaam} in @ .97
[09:54] {Threei} keep stop around .85
[09:57] {kazaam} out +.20
[09:58] {Threei} nice one
[09:58] {Threei} spotting patterns well eh?
[09:58] {Threei} FNM, 86 long if holding above .70
[09:58] {kazaam} only when i trade small lots, hehe
[09:59] {Threei} matter of time and experience
[09:59] {Threei} small lot - less psuchological pressure - clear vision
[09:59] {peterg} bk in hr--have fn
[10:00] {kazaam} yep, its amazing how easy things get with almost nothing at risk
[10:00] {Threei} ptr stoppd usng vwels
[10:00] {Threei} UNE EXISTING HOME SALES: 4.86M V 4.94ME, -2.6% M/M
[10:00] {peterg} tks 2 mch tm
[10:01] {Threei} SEC'S COX: IT IS A MISTAKE TO REGULATE INVESTMENT BANKS LIKE COMMERCIAL BANKS
[10:01] {Threei} kaz... that's why the procedure described in Practical Trading chapter of MPP
[10:03] {Threei} even more amazing thing is,
[10:04] {Threei} with almost nothing at risk, as you put it, you still have fairly reasonable return
[10:04] {peterg} I am in small lots & I like my training wheels, most of the time
[10:04] {kazaam} very true, better than -100-200 a day
[10:05] {Threei} there you go
[10:05] {Threei} risk-reward equation has kind of bell curve
[10:05] {Threei} there is a reason for that
[10:05] {Threei} but that's theory, let's leave it for another time
[10:10] {esemde} long VISN 1/2 lot 18.06
[10:10] {esemde} slow climber
[10:11] {esemde} had bstop in.....and for a second or 2 i wasn't even sure i'd been filled
[10:14] {esemde} bit of a gamble here....probably should have waited until 18.25...previous days high
[10:15] {esemde} stop 17.79
[10:24] {Threei} UAUA
[10:25] {Threei} .91 long if stays above .80
[10:25] {Threei} and if USO resusmes downward
[10:26] {esemde} stop to 18.00 VISN
[10:31] {esemde} Out VISN 18.10
[10:32] {esemde} +.04......was goin nowhere
[10:32] {Threei} better than poke in the eye
[10:32] {esemde} opps...would've been stopped anyway
[10:33] {Threei} IMF: US STEPS FOR GSES ARE LEADING IN A GOOD DIRECTION
[10:33] {Threei} - Notes that the IMF board discussed the US econoic landscape{FRE FNM}
[10:33] {esemde} daily chart looked good
[10:33] {Threei} no worky UAUA
[10:34] {Threei} QCOM
[10:34] {Threei} bounce-worthy selloff
[10:35] {Threei} bidding 51.40
[10:35] {Threei} too optimistic
[10:36] {Threei} awww... UAUA rinse
[10:44] {esemde} CECO ...the everready battery....
[10:46] {pita} day job calls...again - good trading yall

[10:47] {Threei} USO makes quite pronounced moves today
[10:47] {Threei} not easy readable though

[10:53] {hawkfan4} 10:50 COMDX Natural Gas continues to plunge on bearish inventory data; now -0.579 at 9.209 -Update-
[10:54] {Threei} USI chart reminds of whack-a-mole game
[10:54] {Threei} USO
[10:57] {Threei} new sharp downtick USO is coming it seems
[10:58] {kazaam} does SNA seem overextended?
[10:58] {Threei} slow climb... can continue just as well
[10:58] {Threei} right on USO
[10:59] {Threei} hard core scalpers can have UAUA multiple paus of these moves
[11:01] {Threei} maybe some deveopments in negotiations with Iran not made public yet...
[11:02] {Threei} or this:
[11:02] {Threei} CFTC: CHARGES OPTIVER WITH MANIPULATING CRUDE, GASOLINE AND HEATING OIL TRADING
[11:02] {Threei} {USO}
[11:02] {Threei} I don't know who Optiver is but if shrging him send oil down, let's charge him twice
[11:04] {peterg} RIMM anyone?
[11:05] {Threei} no read peter
[11:05] {Threei} RIMM moves with market, and market for some reason doesn't react much on oil move

[11:37] {peterg} uh oh short sales to be restricted on whole market says cox
[11:37] {Threei} as much as I tempted to say that's the case...
[11:38] {Threei} will have to admit, today is way less active and readable
[11:39] {Threei} where do you see it peter?
[11:39] {peterg} DJ Newswires
[11:40] {peterg} part of Fidelity Active Trader Pro
[11:41] {hawkfan4} 11:10 SEC's Cox says intends to extend short-sale protections mkt-wide - DJ

[11:41] {Threei} thought something new
[11:41] {Threei} SEC'S COX NOTES THAT THE SEC IS STUDYING POSSIBILITIES OF NEW UPTICK RULE THAT MAY INVOLVE NICKELS AND DIMES V PRIOR PENNY RULE
[11:41] {Threei} - Regulation would also rule out any naked short selling

[12:35] {dptl} ye..how?
[12:35] {Threei} magic
[12:46] {Threei} FNM 13 break long scalp
[12:46] {kazaam} vad, was MTL a good capitulation play?
[12:46] {Threei} in hindsight, sure
[12:47] {Threei} real time, very questinable whether it was possible to catch bottom
[12:48] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE: PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADVISORS WOULD ADVISE HIM TO VETO ANY BILL SEEKING DRAW DOWNS FROM THE SPR
[12:48] {kazaam} my intuition told me to buy but I dont do C or E plays, so technically that would be a very risky setup? generally you would look for double bottom formation with volume confirmation?
[12:48] {Threei} is this what spiked the oil??
[12:48] {Threei} what bs
[12:49] {Threei} right kaz
[12:49] {kazaam} alright, gotcha, maybe someday i will take some c/e plays
[12:50] {kazaam} fnm break 13
[12:50] {Threei} come on FNM, break already
[12:52] {kazaam} better to wait till break?
[12:52] {Threei} yes
[12:53] {Threei} 13 proves to hold times and again
[12:53] {Threei} break is needed to trigger spike
[12:56] {Threei} see?
[12:57] {kazaam} yep yep
[13:19] {Threei} not liking today'
[13:19] {Threei} s actin

[13:34] {judijim} Judi's off to office, be back tomorrow
[13:40] {Threei} feels like USO upside is done

[14:44] {Threei} US HOUSE REJECTS BILL THAT WOULD DRAW DOWN AND SELL 70M BARRELS OF OIL FROM SPR
[14:46] {cosmo} its all gonna leak out anyway....sheesh
[14:47] {Threei} or evaporate
[14:47] {cosmo} that's controlled
[14:49] {Threei} controlled evaporation?
[14:49] {cosmo} EPA requires it
[14:53] {Threei} there was a report that after impementing short sales ban shorting declined by 90% on financial stocks
[14:53] {Threei} soooo... why is FNM 4 bucks off it's day high
[14:54] {Threei} what a useless exercise
[14:54] {Threei} as if shorting drives stocks down, and without it they wouldn't
[14:56] {Threei} PIMCO'S MCCULLEY FEELS AS THOUGH THERE WILL BE NO 'ARMAGEDDON' SCENARIO IN THE US ECONOMY
[14:57] {Threei} lol
[14:57] {Threei} some comments go beyond ridiculous
[14:58] {cosmo} some are magnets for the real thing too
[14:59] {cosmo} karma, ya know
[14:59] {Threei} no kidding
[14:59] {Threei} get 10 of them say "don't panic, there won't be any Armageddon"
[14:59] {Threei} and you have full blown panic spreading like a wildfire
[15:00] {cosmo} in a high rise
[15:03] {Threei} now, today's trading feels like your normal summer
[15:20] {Threei} WM
[15:20] {Threei} TO ISSUE STATEMENT SHORTLY ON THE 'GIMME CREDIT' REPORT ISSUED THIS MORNING
[15:20] {Threei} - note: some of the weakness on WaMu today has been attributed to a report from 'Gimme Credit,' which stated WM is showing declining reliance on CP and shifting to reliance on wholesale deposits. CNBC's Faber noted this report, but said the 'Gimme Credit' analysis was backward, that greater reliance on wholesale deposits would be a postive for WaMu.
[15:25] {Threei} I start really looking foward for oil to reverse back down... UAUA retreat is so significant, upside is going to be great
[15:34] {Threei} WM REPONDS TO GIMME CREDIT, NOTES COMPANY DOES NOT RELY ON COMMERCIAL PAPER, FUNDS ALL FUNCTIONS OF BUSINESS THROUGH ITS OPERATIONS
[15:37] {Threei} UAUA tradeable bounce is coming with NQ bounce
[15:38] {Threei} in .83, .79 stop
[15:38] {Threei} just a scalp
[15:42] {Threei} to take teny tine scalp or not to take
[15:43] {Threei} that is the question
[15:43] {Threei} gosh, what's my risk... 4 cents
[15:43] {Threei} already 1:2.5 {G}
