Jan 20 2009

 Every time we have a great winning day while market suffers like this I feel a bit ashamed... but, here goes: 9 calls, 8 of them are wins, one stop of negligible 11-12 cents... Doesn't get much better than this.  

Session Time: Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 2009

[08:38] {Peterg} Morning all; this is early
[08:38] {Threei}  peter :)
[08:40] {magoo} stt
[08:40] {magoo} news
[08:40] {Threei}  07:11am [STT] Reports Q4 $1.18 v $1.14e, R $2.67B v $2.46Be
[08:41] {Threei}  01/19/09 06:23pm [STT] WSJ reports that the bank is facing potential losses in key areas
[08:41] {magoo} but it beat?
[08:42] {Threei}  STT had $5.5B in unrealized losses as of December 31, 2008
[08:42] {Threei}  - As of December 31, 2008, there were $5.5B of after-tax net unrealized losses associated with our portfolio of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity
[08:42] {Threei}  - In Q4 08, we recognized a $78M charge to earnings as a result of other-than-temporary impairment determinations
[08:42] {Threei}  - At December 31, 2008, the net asset value based upon market value of our unregistered cash collateral pools ranged from 90.8c to $1.00, with the average weighted net asset value on such date being 95.5c.
[08:42] {Threei}  - A substantial portion of the decline in the market value of these assets occurred in Q4 08.
[08:46] {magoo} so vad, in your opiniion is this over sold down or more pain all day?
[08:47] {Threei}  my working assumption is, selling pressure at first, then strong snapback
[08:47] {Threei}  but you know...
[08:47] {Threei}  we will see
[08:48] {magoo} right
[08:50] {Threei}  btw,
[08:51] {Threei}  while we were mesmerized by PALM action on Fri,

[10:08] {Threei}  good job guys
[10:08] {Threei}  but why so low on RIMM KS?
[10:08] {Threei}  we trailed stop after 1:1 was hit
[10:09] {KSystems} to .95?
[10:09] {KSystems} yeah and i wasnt watching when it broke
[10:09] {magoo} it was fast fall rimm
[10:10] {dino} giddy-up
[10:12] {magoo} 1:1 Q
[10:12] {Threei}  PALM non-stop
[10:14] {magoo} drys has that feel vad
[10:14] {Threei}  PALM too
[10:15] {cujo} Vad, is RIMM in range 51.50 to 51.86?
[10:15] {Threei}  RIMM range narrows down
[10:15] {Threei}  see how bands tighten up?
[10:15] {Threei}  will break violently soon
[10:15] {cujo} got ya.  thanks. 
[10:15] {Threei}  now... which way is another matter
[10:16] {cujo} ;)
[10:16] {Threei}  will largely depend on a market,
[10:16] {Threei}  but the point is right now,
[10:16] {Threei}  do not try to pay range on it
[10:16] {Threei}  it's likely to break it
[10:16] {cujo} got it.
[10:18] {cujo} premature to float a buy stop at 52.03 on RIMM?
[10:18] {Threei}  ugh, I would prefer a pullback entry on it
[10:18] {cujo} ok
[10:20] {Threei}  .65 if holding above .50 and if market spikes
[10:20] {Threei}  very small risk
[10:21] {Threei}  there you go, 1:1 in a matter of seconds
[10:21] {Threei}  and above
[10:21] {Threei}  power of aggressive entries
[10:21] {cujo} ugh missed it. Moved a little before i could get in.  
[10:21] {cujo} lesson learned
[10:21] {Threei}  this kind if hard to alert in time, not always possible
[10:21] {cujo} y, but do appreicate. 
[10:22] {Threei}  if I manage to describe the concept andf ilustrate it as close to real time as possible, you will be able to spot it yourself next time
[10:22] {cujo} teach a man to fish...
[10:22] {Threei}  which actually is the purpose anyway
[10:23] {Threei}  teach a man to fish, and he will drink beer on his boat all day
[10:23] {cujo} ha ha ha
[10:23] {Threei}  (magoo's version)
[10:27] {magoo} quotes are REAL bad here
[10:27] {Threei}  hmmm
[10:27] {Threei}  fine here...

[10:45] {Threei}  can relax a bit and wait to see what's next
[10:53] {Threei}  HEARING CSFB SPECULATES STT COULD BE WORTH $40/SHR IN A TAKEOVER SCENARIO
[10:53] {cujo} USO possible bounce VAD?
[10:53] {dino} tighten pcln to .20

[11:10] {Threei}  take care ese
[11:11] {nemo} all the traders must be watching inauguration coverage
[11:13] {patience} trading programs still working though nemo...i'm in slw,kinross and goldcorp.  slw creeping up nice and slowly
[11:13] {Threei}  nice C&H on SLW at 6.30
[11:14] {patience} i'm trading it on cdn side and 5 minute chart
[11:15] {Threei}  pullback to 6.20 - .25 is worth a try
[11:20] {cujo} c & h on apple around 80.20?  
[11:20] {Threei}  not really clean formation
[11:21] {nemo} describing my mind or apple?
[11:21] {Threei}  don't overestimate my mind reading powers
[11:22] {nemo} I thought your "third eye" :)
[11:22] {Threei}  it's inward looking one
[11:23] {Threei}  it has 'I don't care" written on the eyelid
[11:23] {dino} lod
[11:23] {Threei}  SLW chose another break instead
[11:25] {Threei}  looking around to see what's holding steady while market hits new low
[11:25] {Threei}  PALM does, so far
[11:26] {dino} markets feel nervous
[11:26] {Threei}  in fact, it starts forming the same pattern as it did on Fri
[11:26] {Threei}  stays nailed to the same price for a while
[11:26] {Threei}  it was 7.20 for a few hoirs, the explosion
[11:26] {Threei}  then
[11:30] {hawkfan4} PALM kinda forming an asc tri if it moves up from here, top of tri is 8.30ish
[11:30] {cujo} RIMM doing something here...
[11:30] {Threei}  on daily you mean
[11:31] {hawkfan4} no, on 5 min
[11:33] {nemo} When's Europe close?
[11:34] {magoo} that palm flatliner does look same vad
[11:35] {Threei}  let's see if we get pullback into .80... if not, 8 break becomes a long trigger with stop under 7.90
[11:35] {Threei}  break is more risky
[11:41] {KSystems} in
[11:41] {Threei}  first strength from here on PALM
[11:41] {Threei}  got .79 - .80
[11:41] {KSystems} .81 here
[11:41] {Threei}  :)
[11:42] {KSystems} stop under .70 ?
[11:42] {Threei}  ether that or .60
[11:42] {Threei}  depending on your target for the trade
[11:43] {Threei}  it hit over 1:1 if .70
[11:52] {Threei}  PALM exhibits strength while market downticks
[11:52] {Threei}  half out .92
[11:52] {Threei}  want to try and milk it
[11:52] {Threei}  you KS?
[11:52] {KSystems} half out as well

[11:56] {Threei}  first strength is long
[11:57] {Threei}  with stop under .15
[11:59] {cujo} in .25
[11:59] {KSystems} when you say first strength...do you mean MKT strength or SLW?
[11:59] {Threei}  SLW
[11:59] {dino} uh oh, forgot, pcln sm l .25
[12:00] {Threei}  when we are talking about a stock that is clearly market follower, market help is needed by default
[12:00] {Threei}  SLW is not really a market follower though
[12:00] {KSystems} in .slw
[12:03] {dino} obama, late as usual
[12:03] {Threei}  lol
[12:03] {Threei}  good boy PALM
[12:06] {Threei}  is it not a beautiful feeling, to be on the smart side of the trade... to take shares from scared hands and then feed them into hopeful ones
[12:06] {dino} you are a machine
[12:06] {hawkfan4} it is, it truly is
[12:07] {Threei}  above 8, you are at 1:2 with .70 stop and 1:1 for .60 stop
[12:08] {Threei}  come on dino... I like to think of myself as warm, fuzzy, teddy bear...
[12:09] {Threei}  ummm... wait a few minutes for me to finish laughing hysterically, I'll be back in 5
[12:09] {dino} lol
[12:09] {nemo} that likes to watch animals rip each other apart

[12:09] {dino} and i'm the kid
[12:09] {Threei}  I like animals
[12:09] {Threei}  people, that's another story
[12:09] {nemo} didn't say you did it...watch it...yeah, me too on the people
[12:12] {Threei}  scalpers who had SLW stop under .20 and treated it as scalp type 1 have 1:1
[12:13] {Threei}  if you took normal size, probably not worth the bother to take profit here
[12:13] {Threei}  and you PALM... enough games, we have 9 to tag
[12:13] {Threei}  {PALM} you are crazy, right?
[12:14] {Threei}  when stock talk back to me, it's a sign of what?
[12:15] {dino} hear it comes, "re-inflate"  echo bubble
[12:15] {KSystems} SLW slowly moving toward day trader's 1:1
[12:18] {Threei}  it hit so close tyo it that trailing srtop to under .20 is justified, IMO

[12:23] {Threei}  see dino? not having 15B makes us struggle with spelling
[12:23] {dino} indeed
[12:24] {KSystems} not that 15B would make our spelling better...just US care less
[12:24] {Threei}  if we did have it... well, not tat our spelling wwould be any better but we wouldn't care
