[09:23] {Threei} [12:23] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO EU: RUSSIA IS "TOO CIVILIZED" TO CUT OFF ENERGY SUPPLIES TO THE EU
[09:23] {Threei} [12:24] {Threei} let's remember this 'too civilized"
[09:23] {Threei} [12:24] {Threei} my prediction is, come winter we will have a few occasions to return to this sentence
[09:23] {Threei} The Telegraph newspaper reported that Russia may cut off oil flow to Western Europe over the coming days, in response to the threat of E.U. sanctions and NATO naval actions in the Black Sea. "Reports have begun to circulate in Moscow that Russian oil companies are under orders from the Kremlin to prepare for a supply cut to Germany and Poland through the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline," wrote Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. "It is believed that executives from lead-producer LUKoil have been put on weekend alert."

[09:28] {Threei} this is highly liquid situation, it changes with every new forecast...
[09:28] {Threei} or observation

[09:31] {esemde} ENER...
[09:31] {Threei} my idea was to grab a pullback, not to chase CLNE after the bounce
[09:32] {Threei} it jumped off 17 faster than I could type, even without numbers
[09:32] {Threei} let's wait for new consolidation and break of 17.25 if consolidation's tight enough
[09:35] {Threei} bidding 16.95 or taking break of 17.10

[11:07] {Threei} oh great
[11:08] {Threei} not sure yet mags
[11:09] {Threei} kind of 50/50 here
[11:10] {Threei} bounce for a scalp looks too obvious off 17
[11:10] {Threei} I suspect it's going to break down
[11:10] {Threei} shake out those who go for obvious
[11:10] {Threei} then jump back up
[11:11] {Threei} look for something like .80 - .90 range for entry
[11:11] {Threei} there you go
[11:11] {Threei} half lot
[11:11] {Threei} in
[11:11] {Threei} .80, stop under .70
[11:11] {Threei} just a scalp
[11:14] {Threei} I guess I oversat it
[11:14] {Threei} wanted a spike back over 17
[11:14] {Threei} either double bottom here or stop
[11:17] {Threei} yawn
[11:17] {Threei} do something CLNE
[11:18] {Threei} you all asleep?
[11:18] {patience} yes
[11:18] {Threei} okay
[11:18] {Threei} I'll stop talk loud
[11:19] {Threei} (whispering) how about that forecast of 17 breakdown?
[11:19] {Threei} out
[11:20] {magoo} stopped clne
[11:20] {magoo} regret my smackdwn now
[11:25] {Threei} USO is snapback time probably
[11:25] {Threei} watching UAUA for short
[11:26] {Threei} no technicals for the play, just need sharp USO green bar
[11:32] {Threei} getting ready
[11:32] {Threei} if this is double bottom for USO, UAUA should be done
[11:32] {Threei} didn't reach its previous high as USO made new low
[11:36] {Threei} no double bottom so far
[11:38] {dino} .
[11:39] {Threei} good point
[11:40] {Threei} did they cancel hurricane?
[11:40] {Threei} look how UAUA is unable to move up on USO drops anymore
[11:40] {magoo} nothing makes sense anymore
[11:41] {Threei} just need reversal on that slimy environemntally unfriendly liquid
[11:43] {Threei} ok, .75 is closest resistance UAUA for stop placement
[11:43] {Threei} short here
[11:44] {Threei} .65 in
[11:44] {Threei} gotta try it
[11:44] {Threei} shhesh... what's killing oil?
[11:44] {Threei} out UAUA
[11:45] {dino} what happened, hurricane fizzle out
[11:45] {Threei} I guess
[11:45] {Threei} all I see is

[11:45] {Threei} {USO}
[11:45] {Threei} and that's bs
[11:46] {Threei} who cares what that guy thinks
[11:47] {hawkfan4} man, i just covered my oil future short at 116.20 just b4 the giant drop. it's been that kind of week
[11:48] {Threei} that's unreadable hawk
[11:48] {Threei} don't feel bad
[11:48] {Threei} there is no way to see this coming
[11:48] {hawkfan4} i know, but the extra 4k would've been nice :) i thought it was reversing
[11:52] {Threei} what a reversal CLNE
[11:52] {Threei} why didn't we short it lol
[11:52] {Threei} just kidding... never saw clean short setup
[11:52] {Threei} other than 17 break but that was very iffy
[11:52] {dino} stopped cme -1.40 100
[11:52] {Threei} looks readable in retrospect only
[11:53] {Threei} at the moment it was much more like shakout with immediate snapback

[14:49] {Threei} looking at USO daily,
[14:49] {Threei} I can't imagine such harsh selloffs for something that is going to go up
[14:49] {Threei} IMO, unless something happens, this thing is bound to continue daowntrend
[14:50] {Threei} and it's hard to imagine what that "something" could be
[14:50] {Threei} Gerogia war didn't propel it,
[14:51] {Threei} neither did unrest in Pakistan,
[14:51] {Threei} hurricanes is bs, IMO
[14:52] {Threei} (as an reason for oil to go up that is)
[14:52] {dino} well today it was bs
[14:55] {magoo} vad, power upward into bell iyo?

[14:56] {Threei} another one bites the dust
[14:58] {Threei} I mean, it's just a lame excuse, dino... hurricanes were there always
[14:58] {Threei} oil never reacted on them really until this whole price runup started
[14:59] {dino} i agree
[14:59] {dino} and today not acting on them either

[09:54] {peterg} geo
[09:55] {esemde} PTEN pullback to deep.....invalidated for me
[09:56] {Threei} RMBS was still worth it I guess
[09:56] {esemde} RMBS....waiting for pull back
[09:57] {esemde} if it goes through 18 Vad is should go a little
[09:57] {Threei} probably... serious resistance to break
[09:58] {Threei} in more determined market I would be all over such break
[09:58] {esemde} damn......missed it...didn't get the order in fast enough
[09:58] {Threei} don't chase
[09:58] {Threei} pullback or no play
[09:59] {esemde} indeed
[09:59] {Threei} CLNE
[09:59] {Threei} this thing looks seriously determined
[10:00] {esemde} i'll say
[10:01] {Threei} if you believe in Pickens... half lot long .25
[10:02] {Threei} stop under .10 or under 16, both are valid
[10:03] {dino} amr stopped .95 +.05 not moving
[10:03] {Onix} in CLNE @ .25
[10:03] {Threei} CSUN?
[10:04] {Threei} what's up with that dog
[10:04] {Threei} CLNE, I won't be surprised to see it at 17
[10:05] {Threei} volatility is a problem on it thouigh
[10:05] {Threei} can breathe hard as magoo says
[10:05] {magoo} ill stiop it
[10:05] {magoo} long .30
[10:05] {esemde} AMLN still heading down...gotta be gettingg close to your territory dino
[10:05] {Threei} lol
[10:05] {Threei} only combined power of you and chaeron can stop Pickens, magoo
[10:06] {magoo} oh..well hes not in yet..
[10:06] {Threei} that's your chance
[10:06] {magoo} my only hope
06[10:06] * Threei kicks CLNE in the rear... move fast while chaeron isn't here!
[10:07] {Threei} hey, that was a good kick
[10:07] {magoo} keep doing it
[10:07] {magoo} hurry..i hear chaer
[10:07] {dino} es, problem is deaths associated w/it, could just die itself
[10:07] {dptl} +.20 clne ty
[10:07] {Threei} dp :)
[10:07] {dino} hitting 2 year lows
[10:07] {dino} gj dp
[10:07] {esemde} gotcha.....
[10:08] {dino} lets find crazy moves w/no news
[10:08] {Threei} great spot on a short side ese
[10:08] {dino} patience my friend
[10:08] {Threei} AMLN that is
[10:09] {Threei} guys, CLNE is both good mover and hard breather
[10:09] {Threei} control your risk and manage the trade
[10:09] {Threei} partial out
[10:09] {Threei} protect half of profit
[10:09] {Threei} unless you are hard core scalper that is
[10:09] {Threei} then you are out here
[10:11] {Onix} ty Vad, got .24 on my 100 shares in CLNE
[10:12] {Threei} :)
[10:12] {Threei} got any leftovers?
[10:12] {peterg} learning limit orders, chased CLNE up & missed the ride. Sniff.
[10:13] {Threei} how do you route your limit entry?
[10:13] {Threei} at the offer price of the moment?
[10:13] {peterg} looks like island
[10:13] {Threei} right, I mean price
[10:14] {peterg} i hit a price on the level two chart; it appears in the limit price box
[10:14] {Threei} OK, adjust it a little bit:
[10:14] {peterg} i try to buy on the cheap
[10:14] {Threei} if your entry is .25
[10:14] {Threei} set a limit .27 - .28
[10:14] {Threei} and hit buy when .25 starts scrolling
[10:15] {Threei} this is a good comprmise between market order that could get you in too high
[10:15] {Threei} and too tight limit that can miss a play altogether
[10:15] {dino} chtt
[10:16] {GeoArb} or depending on your broker.... yo migh have a smartorder
[10:16] {dptl} and watch time and sales window peter:)
[10:16] {dino} sh 8t can't borrow
[10:16] {GeoArb} you can choose a 3 cent leeway
[10:16] {Threei} couple cents is usually immaterial
[10:16] {Threei} and if there are enough shares at your .25 you'll get it anyway
[10:16] {Threei} also,
[10:17] {Threei} make sure you have Route Out checked
[10:17] {Threei} this will garantee that your ISLD hits all others too
[10:17] {peterg} thks team
[10:18] {peterg} where is Route Out check pls?
[10:19] {Threei} right click on Level 2,
[10:19] {Threei} settings window will pop up,
[10:19] {peterg} got it
[10:19] {Threei} look in the right column, roughly middle section

[10:28] {Threei} held 5 yesterday and today
[10:28] {Onix} in CLNE @ .51
[10:29] {Threei} I guess can be qualified as pullback buy with stop under 5, but don't expect quick resolution from it
[10:29] {Threei} not likely to be a day trade
[10:29] {esemde} yup....am considering a swing trade on this one.....

[12:23] {magoo} shit forgot i still had clne
[12:23] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO EU: RUSSIA IS "TOO CIVILIZED" TO CUT OFF ENERGY SUPPLIES TO THE EU
[12:23] {Threei} - Notes that punitive steps by the EU against Russia would fail.
[12:24] {Threei} let's remember this 'too civilized"
[12:24] {Threei} my prediction is, come winter we will have a few occasions to return to this sentence
[12:25] {Onix} you expecting bigger trouble over there Vad?
[12:25] {Threei} can't see how they could be avoidable
[12:26] {dino} didn't they cut off gas to germany for a few days last year
[12:26] {dino} makes for a cold winter
[12:27] {Threei} and consider that pipes go via Ukraine
[12:27] {Threei} so it makes it easy to cut off gas to Ukraine, using real or fake price dispute
[12:27] {Threei} forcing Ukraine to start siphoning gas off those pipes
[12:27] {Threei} and making it a bad guy
[12:27] {dino} indeed
[12:28] {dino} may you live in interesting times
[12:28] {magoo} u should have stayed there..joined communist party..and aspired to be sec of treasurery
[12:29] {Threei} why am I not delighted by the perspective
06[12:32] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:35] {laserdave1} market on fire
06[12:35] * laserdave1 slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[12:35] {Threei} ummm
[12:35] {Threei} look at volume
06[12:35] * laserdave1 slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[12:36] {Threei} I'd say, it's on smoulder
[12:37] {dino} syno sm l .99, stop lod
[12:37] {peterg} Lower On Down?
[12:37] {Threei} just very low overall
[12:37] {dino} stop lod=low of day
[12:37] {peterg} tks

Aug 26 2008

Session Time: Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 2008
[08:01] {Threei} NVAX
[08:01] {Threei} ANNOUNCES FAVORABLE RESULTS FROM PHASE I/IIA PANDEMIC INFLUENZA VACCINE PROGRAM
[08:02] {Threei} 08/26/08 06:33am
[08:02] {Threei} (RU) Russia reportedly now halting visits by NATO officials as well as joint exercises for at least several months
[08:02] {Threei} - May halt peacekeeping cooperation with NATO for at least six months
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia notes it does not intend to stop cooperating with NATO in Afghanistan for now, but remains under review
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia cancels NATO chief's visit
[08:03] {Threei} 08/26/08 04:10am
[08:03] {Threei} Iran OPEC Governor: Market is not balanced, there is oversupply
[08:03] {Threei} * Note that comments are in line with prior comments
[08:03] {Threei} - Group members favor balanced market
[08:12] {Threei} 08/25/08 11:38pm
[08:12] {Threei} (US) Treasury Secretary Paulson: The proposed GSE rescue package will be used as a last resort, will be used to protect the taxpayer - NYT
[08:12] {Threei} - We will be dealing with the housing issue in one way or another for months, maybe years after he leaves office.
[08:12] {Threei} - The biggest part of the crisis will be largely over by year's end.
[08:15] {Threei} OIL PRICE OUTLOOK: THERE ARE THREE GOOD REASONS TO THINK THAT IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR AN OIL PRICE COLLAPSE - EDWARD HADAS AT BUSINESSSPECTATOR
[08:15] {Threei} - "First, demand is still strong. Despite high prices and slowing world growth, the IEA still expects a 1.1% increase in consumption in 2008."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Second, supply seems to be under the suppliers' control. The Saudis, who remain swing producers, have implied they will defend a triple-digit oil price. So far, it looks like they can."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Finally, money is available to pay the current high price. Real interest rates are still negative in most of the world. For most governments in developing countries, growth remains a higher priority than inflation-fighting. True, oil subsidies are slowly being cut. But the credit crunch hasn’t squeezed sufficiently tightly to close oil-buyers’ wallets."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Eventually, the oil price will fall back to, or below, the marginal cost of production, perhaps $50-70 a barrel. But probably not until money is a lot tighter and the global economy is in a lot more trouble.
[08:29] {Threei} FRE
[08:29] {Threei} REPORTS JULY ANNUALIZED GROWTH RATE +9.8%
[08:48] {Threei} SATC

[08:48] {Threei} - Will deliver 20MW of the company's industry leading 500 KW PowerGate Plus grid -tie commercial photovoltaic (PV) inverters as part of a new agreement with European utility Energy 21.
[08:48] {Threei} - CE Solar, the project development arm of Energy 21, will deliver and maintain the solar PV plants beginning in October 2008 with completion in spring 2009.

[08:15] {Threei} - There are some concerns among bankers that the outlook has deteriorated further. The focus for investors remains on the damage caused by mortgage-backed securities, but investors are also looking at other areas such as commercial real estate and higher-grade residential mortgages.
[08:15] {Threei} - The article adds that continued credit-market weakness is likely to force further write-downs in Q3.
[08:16] {Threei} - WSJ believes that Lehman and Merrill are the most vulnerable to an industry slowdown.
[08:16] {Threei} - Consolidation in the investment banking sector could leave the industry with about six major full-service players.
[08:16] {Threei} - With respect to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the WSJ notes that Freddie Macs preferred shares already trade at less than half of their issue price and that suggests no preferential treatment if the government ends up bailing out the mortgage GSEs.

[09:02] {Threei} morning Geo
[09:06] {Threei} LEH looks unhealthy
[09:06] {Threei} (again)
[09:07] {Threei} 08/24/08 06:13pm
[09:07] {Threei} [LEH] Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc Summary: The latest on the potential Lehman/Korea Development Bank deal
[09:07] {Threei} - The London Times reports that the Korea Development Bank (KDB) has refused to rule out bidding for Lehman Brothers, but has hinted that any approach would not be imminent. In an interview over the weekend, KDB sought to play down an earlier statement in which it had said that it was open to an approach on the bank. "We are just at an early stage of privatization, and we are weak at investment banking by international standards. In the long term, we should strengthen that weakness," said a representative of KDB.
[09:07] {esemde} morning
[09:08] {Threei} ese :)
[09:08] {esemde} how the mighty fall.....
[09:08] {Threei} with thunder?
[09:10] {Threei} oh wake up.... this is my first attempt at humor, I need little encouragement on Monday morning
[09:10] {Threei} eyelids are too heavy
[09:11] {Onix} they fell ... "splat!"
[09:12] {Threei} like USO
[09:13] {Threei} watching UAUA reaction
[09:13] {Threei} working assumption so far is,
[09:13] {Onix} CNBC talking about second wave of credit crunch
[09:13] {Threei} uncoupling between USO and UAUA started, with negative bias for UAUA
[09:13] {Threei} we saw lat week how it weakened despite USO drop
[09:14] {Threei} so either it starts traading on its own and we have no leading indicator for it anymore,
[09:14] {Threei} or it drops with USO strength while not really goes up with USO weakness
[09:15] {Threei} Third option is, that day was a fluke, and corellation is intact
[09:15] {Threei} will see
[09:16] {dino} gm all
[09:16] {Threei} dino :)
[09:17] {magoo} morn

[09:22] {Threei} as much as premarket chart can be trusted, LEH is short under .64 with stop above .80
[09:22] {Threei} opening tends to be supervolastile for it
[09:24] {cosmo} GILT seems to hold 7.50 ..so far fwiw
[09:25] {magoo} what, laser was getting magoos share of slaps?he he
[09:25] {Threei} oh, he has enough on his own... he just didn't have you to reciprocate

[09:26] {Threei} :)
[09:27] {Threei} FNM, 4.50 breakdown is tempting short
[09:27] {Threei} maybe good idea to skip first minutes and let market exhaust it's opening volatility
[09:28] {Threei} hard to tell... dying days of August
[09:28] {GeoArb} anyone in LEH?
[09:28] {cosmo} dying?
[09:29] {Threei} if you are in, keep stop above .80 religiously and look for fast spike down to cover, Geo

[09:59] {GeoArb} i made an interesting mistake in LEh.... was modifying my stop and sent it at current price hehehehe
[09:59] {GeoArb} -93
[09:59] {Threei} why do you need hard stop on such a trade?
[10:00] {GeoArb} was a mistake...

[10:01] {GeoArb} economist had an article on some numbers looking better
[10:01] {Threei} I mean, you are right here, it's a fast trade likely to resolve in minutes if not seconds
[10:01] {Threei} why mess with software instead of keeping manual stop
[10:01] {GeoArb} i had to ummm.. take a break :)
[10:02] {Threei} - July Median Existing Home Price: -7.1% y/y to $212K from $215K{XHB }

[10:05] {dino} cedc stopped -.34
[10:05] {esemde} CPSL has a good looking Daily also vad
[10:06] {Threei}
Consider Buying:
1,8 USO small shares above .15 if holding 93
[10:06] {esemde} was that a factor in buying
[10:06] {Threei} certainly
[10:06] {Threei} .15 was a break on daily
[10:06] {esemde} nice
[10:06] {Threei} 5.14 high from 08/15
[10:09] {esemde} NVDA has that look on it's 15min chart......
[10:09] {Threei} USO invalidated
[10:09] {Threei} don't see much enthusiasm on UAUA though
[10:09] {Threei} old times it would have spiked on such USO drop
[10:10] {Threei} trying now

[10:39] {Threei} in .18
[10:39] {Threei} .41 stop
[10:39] {Threei} needs to lose .20 for a nice continuation

[14:37] {Threei} OK... probably that's why, smart routes are a bit less efficient
[14:37] {dino} overall, works fine, just listed i manually hit
[14:38] {Threei} yup... and most likely no noticeable difference on NASDAQ
[14:38] {Threei} between manual and hard I mean
[14:39] {dino} correct
[14:46] {peterg} etymological derivation of "hard" for this usage, pls?
[14:46] {peterg} fingers are soft?
[14:47] {Threei} hardwired vs mental?
[14:47] {dino} when i say hadr stop, i mean it is entered
[14:47] {peterg} I get that, i am asking philosophical question.
[14:47] {peterg} historical type
[14:47] {Threei} dino... he thinks we can read, you see
[14:48] {peterg} how does this linquistic usage arise?
[14:48] {dino} i'm lost
[14:48] {peterg} who started saying hard stop?
[14:48] {peterg} you, dino?
[14:48] {dino} books and traders years ago
[14:48] {Threei} no, that's common definition
[14:49] {peterg} that would qualify as source, but we don't know what the appeal of "hard" was
[14:49] {peterg} ill shutup
[14:50] {Threei} lol
[14:50] {dino} remember peter, i try not to think, rather react
[14:50] {Threei} I pretend that I try not to think... in rality it comes quite naturally tome
[14:50] {peterg} good point
[14:50] {Threei} just like bad typing
[14:51] {peterg} I tried watching mkt this am with music on headphones.
[14:51] {peterg} it seemed good.
[14:51] {peterg} jj cale
[14:51] {Threei} trading require depth of thinking of "tree good, fire bad" kind
[14:51] {Threei} requires
[14:51] {dino} magoo and i het the music at 9:30 am, all day, cnbc on mute, or sports on....
[14:51] {dino} the news w/mess w/your trades imo
[14:52] {dino} hit the music
[14:52] {Threei} I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway... if CNBC on mute, why on at all?
[14:52] {dino} lol, right now vh1
[14:53] {dino} think about it, all pre-market cnbc talking heads were we are out of the abys
[14:53] {dino} that will screw you up
[14:54] {peterg} news business is fear business
[14:54] {dino} who knows or cares if the "lows" are in, we had a 250 point down move and they had you loading up
[14:54] {Threei} qhwen the next stage of credit crunch, bank write-offs and bankruptsies comes, taking market much lower... how are those optimists going to justify their cheerleading?
[14:54] {dino} so.....put the music on when trading
[14:55] {peterg} I likes it
[14:57] {Threei} I am not in the end of the world camp, we will bottom out and have a very nice rally
[14:57] {Threei} but we are not there yet
[14:57] {peterg} Is Bill Cara still strong on holding bullion?
[14:58] {Threei} I don't really track gold-related topics
[14:58] {dino} dk
[14:58] {Threei} if I remember correct, he was no jazzed about it for now
[14:58] {dino} and yes vad, this too will pass
[14:59] {Threei} yeah... this time
[14:59] {Threei} but honestly,
[14:59] {Threei} policies must change
[14:59] {peterg} what policies
[14:59] {Threei} USA flirts with financial disaster too close for comfort
[14:59] {dino} but in the keep it simple dino plan.....do not listen to them when trading, get in "your" own zone
[15:00] {Threei} policies regarding credit, derivatives, spending
[15:00] {peterg} if we be goin down, let us be goin down tradin
[15:00] {peterg} ya yua ya live for today
[15:00] {Threei} deepening dept, free-for-all money printing
[15:00] {peterg} of course on serious note your right
[15:00] {peterg} time for serenity prayer
[15:01] {Threei} in Seinfield speak, Serenity NOW!!!
[15:01] {dino} none of it matters, just trade
[15:01] {peterg} here here to all
[15:01] {dino} they will do what they do
[15:02] {peterg} yep
[15:05] {Threei} here is an illustration to what dino says
[15:06] {Threei} had I not had this negative bias on financials, we would probably go long LEH and FNM at some point
[15:07] {Threei} [15:01] {dino} none of it matters, just trade {--- truer words were never spoken
[15:07] {dino} see, those are too crowded for my "way". too much thinking w/them
[15:07] {dino} i prefer the idiot set-ups
[15:08] {dino} watching wynn
[15:24] {Threei} if NQ finally breaks down, BRCM short for a scalp
[15:24] {Threei} bounced a bit on dropping volume, forming bear flag
[15:25] {Threei} closest resistance is.25
[15:28] {Onix} BRCM ss @ 26.09 if NQ drops?
[15:28] {Threei} no, I wouldn't chase it there
[15:28] {Threei} rather looking for a situation where NQ drops while BRCM gives little delay
[15:28] {Threei} so we can short it closer to resistance
[15:28] {Threei} keeps stop tighter
[15:29] {Onix} ok ty
[15:32] {Threei} looks like break's coming
[15:32] {Threei} in
[15:32] {Threei} .26 stop
[15:32] {Onix} in @ .19
[15:40] {Threei} quite boring day
[15:40] {Threei} happens often on Mondays, let's hope market wakes up tomorrow
