Very strong finish of a nice week. Gap down in the morning was a gift. Some of usual suspects (DRYS, STT) plus GERN made a day. Had a chance for some educational chat with real time illustrations as well.

[08:00] {cujo} Higher on news?
[08:01] {elepet} big news. i forget what it is, but it 's big.
[08:01] {elepet} when i woke up, it was at 7.20 and i thought i was still asleep.
[08:02] {cujo} ha ha... It was all just a dream
[08:04] {elepet} and drys was at 9.00. a nightmare this time, but it seems to be moving up a bit.

[11:00] {Threei} GERN is pullback- ready
[11:00] {cujo} what do you see as an entry on GERN?
[11:01] {Threei} 7.50 - 7.60 zone
[11:01] {dino} dia sm l .70
[11:05] {Threei} with all the morning hoopla on DRYS and STT and GERN, forgot to check up on my yesterday's candidate for mojo return... UAUA
[11:09] {Threei} US HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE PROPOSING A SEPARATE PACKAGE FOR TAX BREAKS IN LOW INCOME TAX BRACKET, INCLUDES SMALL BUSINESS TAX DEDUCTIONS AMOUNTING TO 20% OF INCOME
[11:09] {Threei} - Package may also include provisions to make unemployment benefits tax free
[11:09] {dino} ndx and comp going green
[11:09] {dino} darn aapl, wanted 83 area gap
[11:11] {Threei} SEC HEAD SHAPIRO: AGENCY REQUIRES MORE FUNDING TO HAVE BETTER OVERSIGHT, REQUIREMENTS MUST BE INCREASED ON BROKER DEALERS FOR STRONGER NET CAPITAL
[11:11] {cujo} do you see some consolidation in RIMM Vad?
[11:11] {Threei} US TREASURY SEC NOMINEE GEITHER: MUST CONSIDER REGULATORY OVERHAUL, REGISTRATION FOR HEDGE FUNDS, AGENCY CONSOLIDATION
[11:12] {Threei} I am not delighted by it cujo
[11:12] {cujo} ok
[11:12] {Threei} it will go up if market does... but overall, it's a bit weaker than broad market
[11:13] {Threei} look how close NASDAQ is to its high
[11:13] {Threei} and how RIMM is solidly below its
[11:13] {cujo} yeah
[11:13] {dino} comp green, ndx flat
[11:14] {dptl} abx?]
[11:15] {Threei} probably worth a try... hard to tell really
[11:15] {Threei} doesn't spike with market this time
[11:17] {magoo} DRYS dead vad?
[11:17] {Threei} not dead exactly but not worth the risk in my eyes
[11:18] {dino} dia hard stop to .40
[11:18] {Threei} CNN talking about stem cells
[11:19] {dino} eqix strong
[11:19] {Threei} GERN went through some consolidation
[11:19] {Threei} looks like 8.05 long if stays above 7.90
[11:19] {dino} stopped dia .40, +.70
[11:20] {dino} too tight
[11:20] {Threei} GERN CEO on
[11:21] {Threei} US SEN MAJORITY LEADER REID: NO CONCERNS OVER WHETHER REPUBLICANS MAY SEEK TO BLOCK STIMULUS
[11:21] {magoo} in GERN
[11:22] {Onix} such a beautiful rally with nothing to trade
[11:22] {Threei} CEO sounds a bit questionable
[11:23] {Threei} nothing to trade?
[11:23] {magoo} out
[11:23] {Threei} yeah
[11:23] {Threei} he starred talking about "not being a miracle" etc
[11:24] {Threei} who needs to hear that
[11:24] {fernp} out here too
[11:24] {dino} he has feb puts on it
[11:24] {dino} getting killed
[11:24] {Threei} lol
[11:24] {Threei} explain to me your expectations guys... 'cause I am lost
[11:25] {Threei} you want to make money or you want to trade all the time?
[11:25] {Threei} if former, that's what we are doing here, I thought
[11:25] {Threei} if former, I can call new trade every 3 minutes, and you will have something to trade all the time
[11:26] {Threei} but forget about being profitable then
[11:26] {nemo} STT pullback
[11:26] {hawkfan4} completely agree, my pnl is so much better when my commisions are lower
[11:29] {dino} why the explain lecture?
[11:29] {nemo} Repetition is the mother of all teaching
[11:29] {Threei} it's just that comments like "such a beautiful rally with nothing to trade" confuse me
[11:30] {Threei} either I don't manage expectations right
[11:30] {Threei} or don;'t fulfill what I promise
[11:31] {dino} ok, missed that
[11:31] {dino} i only did 2 trades so far 2 for 2
[11:31] {dino} "chuck" most likely wondering why commissions are dropping
[11:31] {Threei} GERN HEARING UPGRADED AT NEEDHAM, PT $9 (TIMING UNCERTAIN)
[11:32] {hawkfan4} just do what u do, it works. everyone can find their own setups if they want to trade more
[11:32] {Threei} where was Needham when it was at 4?
[11:33] {Threei} aren't these guiys supposed to do a research,
[11:33] {Threei} go to the company, find out about upcoming develoments
[11:33] {Threei} build their ideas based on information they analyse
[11:34] {Threei} instead of issuing their upgrades and downgrades after the fact and after the price move
06[11:36] * Threei slaps KSystems around a bit with a large roll of cash
[11:36] {KSystems} Hey :)
[11:36] {KSystems} that was fast
[11:36] {cujo} Hey K
[11:36] {nemo} Wie gehts Jung!

[11:39] {KSystems} any open calls?
[11:39] {Threei} no
[11:46] {hawkfan4} back in gern .04
[11:46] {Threei} STT pullback for bounce scalp
[11:47] {Threei} wait for market strength
[11:49] {Threei} STT .90 break if holding .80
[11:50] {Threei} half lot, this kind of trades may require multile tries
[11:51] {KSystems} in
[11:51] {Threei} over 1:1
[11:51] {Threei} nice and easy
[11:52] {fernp} was easy. TY

[11:52] {jmb} thanks
[11:53] {KSystems} thanks!
[11:53] {cujo} thanks Vad
[11:53] {Threei} sure thing
[11:53] {Threei} lunch tyime scalpingh
[11:53] {cujo} + .13
[11:53] {Threei} sorry larisa, it's not $5
[11:53] {Threei} won't help with full wardrobe
[11:54] {larisa} bikini may be :)
[11:54] {Threei} but, let's update it one thing after another
[11:54] {Threei} right
[11:54] {larisa} k
[11:54] {Threei} that was one piece
[11:57] {Threei} wish, look dcc pls
[12:02] {Threei} wishbone?
[12:03] {wishbone} yes
[12:03] {Threei} look dcc please :)
[12:03] {Threei} STT did same thing again... .50 - .60
[12:03] {wishbone} this mirc isn't workin quite same as old one....having technical difficulties.
[12:04] {Threei} just doubleclick on my nick
[12:04] {Threei} it's the same
[12:06] {Threei} let's di a quick educational piece guys
[12:06] {cujo} y please
[12:06] {Threei} so you know how to structure this kind of play in case I am distracted, fell asleep, got drunk, got hit by the bus etc
[12:07] {dino} hmmm
[12:07] {Threei} we took STT with structure .80 - .90 last time around,
[12:07] {Threei} then it dropped into .50
[12:07] {Threei} formed .50 - .60 setup.
[12:08] {Threei} Why there was no setup at .60 - .70?
[12:08] {Threei} or .70 - .80?
[12:08] {Threei} as soon as you answer this for yourself, you know how this kind of ounces is played
[12:09] {cujo} no past support at those levels?
[12:09] {Threei} one thing, yes
[12:09] {Threei} another is,
[12:09] {nemo} no resistance or drop in volume?
[12:09] {nemo} support
[12:09] {Threei} it never formed any kinf of range between those levels
[12:09] {fernp} no consolidation
[12:09] {dptl} no consolidation
[12:09] {Threei} it was simply ticking through them
[12:09] {Threei} fern and dp get the door prize, to be determined yet
[12:10] {Threei} look what it did when it hit .50
[12:10] {Threei} a few oscillations back and forth
[12:10] {Threei} forming resistance,
[12:10] {Threei} then breaking it
[12:10] {Threei} That gives you setup structure:
[12:10] {Threei} trigger (broken resistance)
[12:11] {Threei} and stop (support level)
[12:11] {Threei} Sometimes we get so lucky that additional factors come in play
[12:11] {Threei} one is our standard:
[12:11] {Threei} market directional support
[12:12] {Threei} look at NASDAQ at the moment, you'll see it starting to uptick
[12:12] {Threei} anotger is rare luck
[12:12] {Threei} but when we get it, effect is multiplied:
[12:12] {Threei} big offer right at the resistance level
[12:12] {Threei} we had this kind yesterday,
[12:12] {Threei} I think on DRYS
[12:13] {Threei} if such offer gets eaten AND resistance broken AND market helps...
[12:13] {Threei} you got your play
[12:14] {Onix} thank you for your trouble Vad, really appreciate it:)
06[12:14] * Threei shuts up and falls asleep
[12:14] {Threei} always, onix
[12:14] {fernp} thanks for sharing your knowledge
[12:14] {cujo} was very educational.
[12:14] {Threei} what knowledge... I just invenetd this stuff
[12:14] {Onix} :D
[12:14] {Threei} :)
[12:15] {fernp} lol
[12:16] {larisa} same setup on HIG this morning, PSE was selling at 13 all you want, not moving. Once it broke, vertical up.
[12:17] {larisa} wrong window
[12:17] {larisa} sorry :)
[12:17] {dptl} so...stt now consolidates...right?
[12:17] {Threei} hmmm... who did you intend to inform about that larisa?? :)
[12:18] {Threei} yes dp, but this is diferent kind of play
[12:18] {larisa} notes for myself, learning your setups :)
[12:18] {dptl} thats where i get confused
[12:18] {Threei} let me disperse the clouds then
[12:19] {dptl} ok :) pls
[12:19] {Threei} the play we discussed was a strcture for the bounce
[12:19] {Threei} kind of mini-bottom fishing
[12:19] {Threei} what we have now in STT is more like mini JBE
[12:20] {Threei} we have upward movement
[12:20] {Threei} then consolidation range to break
[12:20] {Threei} see the difference?
[12:21] {dptl} yes,so it's still legit set up?
[12:21] {Threei} sure
[12:21] {dptl} got it :)
[12:21] {Threei} it's just done in different type of market movement and with different expectations
[12:21] {Threei} bounce scalp is bounce scalp
[12:22] {Threei} breakouts tend to take a stock into new territory when happen at the day high
[12:22] {Threei} not the case right now with STT,
[12:22] {Threei} but overall, if on bounce scalp I tend to take scalp and be happy,
[12:22] {Threei} especially in lunch time and especially when it's clear countertrend trading
[12:23] {cujo} what if it is an upward move and consolidates below the high of the previous move. Is the peak of the chart the resistence of the move out of consolidation?
[12:23] {larisa} vad, but does it matter that STT came from 19+ to this consolidation stage? what part of the chart we should look at ? only move up from 18.50 ?
[12:23] {larisa} lol cujo
[12:23] {Threei} breakouts if done in according type of market often carry bigger potential
[12:23] {Threei} btw, while I typed all this stuff,
[12:23] {Threei} STT got stuck with big seller at 19
[12:23] {nemo} Is DRYS setting up for breakout?
[12:23] {Threei} I took break, put sell ay 19.15
[12:24] {Threei} continued typing and was taken out
[12:24] {Threei} multitasking at its best...
[12:24] {Threei} ok, back to questions:
[12:24] {dptl} so,it has more odds to be good if happens at the days high? jbe
[12:24] {Threei} cujo, generally yes,
[12:24] {magoo} ok..what the hell u talking about
[12:25] {Threei} just pay attention to the chart formations and type of the move
[12:25] {Threei} what I mean by that is:
[12:25] {Threei} magoo, give me a minute, I'll slap you when answered all the questions
[12:25] {magoo} ok
[12:25] {Threei} no, wait
06[12:25] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[12:25] {Threei} ok
[12:25] {magoo} lol
[12:25] {Threei} by chart formations I mean things like
[12:26] {Threei} is it C&H? is it JBE? is it double top? is it third test of the high?
[12:26] {Threei} out of let's say second test and third, which one has better chance to break?
[12:27] {Threei} that was actual question, not rhetoric
[12:27] {dptl} 4th
[12:27] {Threei} while you are thinking
06[12:27] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[12:27] {magoo} 3rd
[12:27] {Threei} right
[12:27] {Threei} and by the type of movement I mean:
[12:27] {Threei} how did stock come into resistance?
[12:27] {Threei} slowly climbed into it or spiked sharply?
[12:28] {dptl} slowly better
[12:28] {Threei} in former case I like my breakout, especially with extra bacon, thank you
[12:28] {Threei} sharp spike into resistance, nope,
[12:28] {Threei} I want another pullback first,
[12:28] {Threei} not going to buy euphoric spike
[12:28] {magoo} hey..i am eating bacon right now blt
[12:28] {magoo} no kid
[12:29] {Threei} great.. magoo did it... no more q/a, I am hungry
[12:29] {Threei} {larisa} vad, but does it matter that STT came from 19+ to this consolidation stage? what part of the chart we should look at ? only move up from 18.50 ?
[12:29] {larisa} have an apple
[12:29] {Threei} OK, this one is eaxctly why I called it "mini JBE"
[12:29] {Threei} usual JBE is whole day chart
[12:30] {Threei} have a look at HIG
[12:30] {Threei} consolidation around 12.50, broken at 10:55 roughly
[12:30] {Threei} is normal JBE
[12:31] {Threei} that setup STT formed from 12:00 to 12:15 is mini JBE
[12:31] {Threei} little piece of chart
[12:31] {cujo} sey guys, what is JBE?
[12:31] {Threei} less reliable, having larger constraints on it
06[12:31] * Threei slaps cujo around a bit with a large book of Techniques of Tape Reading
[12:31] {nemo} Jump Base Explosion
[12:32] {magoo} ill sell u mine cujo
[12:32] {Threei} and DBI is Drop - Base - Implosion
[12:32] {cujo} 10-4
[12:32] {magoo} photogeneric memory here
[12:33] {magoo} um,er pghotogymnastic memory
[12:33] {cujo} thanks magoo
[12:33] {Threei} what else do we have
[12:33] {Threei} {dptl} so,it has more odds to be good if happens at the days high? jbe
[12:33] {cujo} have it, just lent to friend
[12:33] {Threei} generally, yes, in the right market
[12:33] {Threei} mini JBE occuring somewhere in the middle of the chart has additiojnal resistance levels
[12:33] {Threei} from this same day
[12:33] {magoo} if u lend it..u cutting out vad sale
[12:33] {Threei} again, that mini JBE on STT
[12:34] {cujo} MU Vad, .40-.45 entry?
[12:34] {magoo} i keep pulling up JBE symbol and gets nothing vad
[12:34] {Threei} apparently had a resistance around .20 - .25 from 11;40 roughly
[12:34] {Threei} see it?
[12:35] {Threei} and look where it topped at 12;23
[12:35] {magoo} and i cant find STT setup in your book
[12:35] {Threei} finally:
[12:35] {magoo} its almostr like u have them backwards
[12:35] {Threei} {magoo} ok..what the hell u talking about
06[12:35] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large roll of cash
06[12:35] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large scalping course
06[12:36] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large daytrading course
06[12:36] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large Master Profit Plan
06[12:36] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large chart of uptrending market
[12:36] {wishbone} lol mags
06[12:36] * Threei slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
06[12:36] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large book of Techniques of Tape Reading
06[12:36] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large everything your imagination could describe
[12:36] {Threei} have I answered all questions now?
[12:36] {cujo} y
[12:37] {dptl} yep ty
[12:37] {Threei} cool.. falling asleep
[12:37] {Threei} magoo, pick yourself up from the floor...
[12:37] {wishbone} vad that was awesome....helps put peices together ty
[12:37] {Threei} sure thing...
[12:37] {magoo} dino dailing 911 here..magoo knocked onconsciuos
[12:38] {nemo} he needs a brain to have a concussion
[12:38] {nemo} GERN vad?
[12:38] {Threei} GERN is a toughie... it becomes an exhausted momo
[12:39] {Threei} for normal technical stuff to start working on it, it needs serious pullback
[12:39] {nemo} triple top shows exhaustion?
[12:39] {Threei} and elepet... what can I do to convince you to start taking at least partials on GERN
[12:40] {Threei} triple top with last one lower than first two...
[12:40] {Threei} volume configuration has changed
[12:40] {magoo} seriously here {as i pick myself up off floor} GERN avail short tolaserheads
[12:40] {Threei} not volume is increasing on drops, not on advances
[12:40] {Threei} trying again:
[12:40] {Threei} now volume is increasing on drops, not on advances
[12:41] {Threei} hype was already practically everywhere
[12:41] {Threei} news wires, CNBC, even CNN
[12:41] {Threei} and stock is not advancing anymore
[12:41] {Threei} tells you something?
[12:41] {Threei} add its history:
[12:41] {Threei} GEREN is serial disappointer,
[12:41] {Threei} it moves nicely but rarely sustainable
[12:42] {Threei} look at the news itself:
[12:42] {Threei} it's just first phase trial approaval
[12:42] {Threei} how long till it becomes something of subtance, if at all?
[12:42] {Threei} will funding flow or will some group in Senate block it again?
[12:43] {Threei} it's stem cells, controversy is abundant
[12:43] {Threei} now... with all this, isn't it "take your profits" case?
[12:43] {Threei} PALM
[12:43] {Threei} BEST BUY MOBILE EXEC: WE ARE HOLDING TALKS TO SELL PALM'S PRE SMARTPHONE, NOT YET READY TO ANNOUNCE RETAIL DEAL
[12:43] {Threei} - says also in discussions with Sprint
[12:45] {dptl} .80 short .90 stop stt?
[12:47] {dptl} or......90 long .80 stop..lol
[12:48] {Threei} with market spiking... :)
[12:49] {Threei} if you don't have clear indication from maret at the moment, there is just no readable play
[12:50] {Threei} don't fall into trap thinking that any and every move can be read
[12:50] {Threei} this is frequently made mistake
[12:50] {Threei} when someone tells you:
[12:50] {Threei} if you are so smart, tell me what XYZ is going to do next
[12:51] {Threei} you know you are talking to someone who has no clue
[12:51] {Threei} trading is not about reading everything all the time,
[12:51] {Threei} trading is about waiting for the market for form something you can read
[12:52] {dptl} i see :)
[12:54] {dino} if i may; good trading is not about being right, it's about trading right
[12:55] {Threei} yes dino, but this is answer to different question
[12:55] {Threei} and you leave me with no powder if that one comes up :)
[12:55] {dino} oh, uh sorry boss
[12:55] {wishbone} dino...can i clone u? so you're clone can sit beside me and help me learn:)
[12:55] {wishbone} i promise to feed him, give him a home....
[12:56] {Threei} lol
[12:56] {dino} lol, could get expensive, i drink alot
[12:57] {wishbone} that's ok me too...besides totally worth investment
[12:58] {wishbone} except....will he smell funny?
[12:58] {wishbone} and will he be polite?
[12:58] {wishbone} lol
[12:58] {dino} hmmmmmmmmmmm, wondering what magoo has been saying behind my back
[13:02] {Threei} LOL DRYS
[13:02] {Threei} I said 10... who knew it had 11 in it too
[13:02] {magoo} i did
[13:03] {Threei} STT forming minirange
[13:03] {Threei} if market spikes, .20 break long trigger for a scalp
[13:04] {dptl} in .22
[13:04] {magoo} 21 in cards if IF market spikes
[13:05] {magoo} dino cakked green finish
[13:06] {dptl} stop under .10
[13:06] {Threei} well, in that range low was .15
[13:06] {Threei} so formally, stop would have to be under that
[13:06] {dptl} ok
[13:06] {Threei} but feels way too tight
[13:07] {Threei} in any case, it spiked into 1:1 almost immediately
[13:07] {Threei} why not half out into sharp spike
[13:07] {magoo} mkt not committed up yet
[13:07] {magoo} careful here
[13:07] {dptl} missed that exit
[13:08] {Threei} holding well while market is downticking
[13:08] {Threei} fairly nice trade
[13:10] {Threei} even if your original stop was under .10, after tagging 1:1 twice it's fair to trail it to under .15
[13:10] {dptl} ok
[13:11] {Threei} and it starts looking like more than scalp if market helps
[13:11] {Threei} this market bounce should take it over .30
[13:11] {dptl} thinking the same
[13:11] {Threei} here it comes
[13:12] {Threei} half out .34
06[13:12] * Threei yawns... making money becomes too easy and boring
06[13:12] * Threei misses a good fight
[13:12] {Threei} 1;2
[13:13] {magoo} missed that onee'
[13:13] {Threei} must be my fault mags
[13:13] {Threei} you are still dizzy from all that slapping
[13:13] {magoo} reading real money..missed making "real money" ironic
[13:13] {dptl} out .47 ty
[13:14] {Threei} welcome sir
[13:14] {dino} cedc sm l .50
[13:14] {Threei} isn't it perfect... we discussed all that theory,
[13:14] {Threei} and trade structured just like texbook example came about in the next 30 in
[13:15] {dptl} :)
[13:15] {KSystems} Thanks Vad!!
[13:16] {Threei} :)
[13:20] {dptl} ah..was thinking to get on pull back at .40 with .30 stop and missed it
[13:21] {dptl} that stt was good to us last couple of days
[13:22] {Threei} always happens
[13:22] {Threei} one momo runs out of gas, another is right around the corner
[13:22] {Threei} used to be UAUA
[13:22] {Threei} then DRYS came about
[13:22] {Threei} the STT
[13:22] {Threei} PLD
[13:22] {Threei} HIG
[13:22] {Threei} LVS
[13:23] {Threei} familiar symbols? :)
[13:23] {dptl} ye...hated uaua though.....i am also watching plc last two days
[13:24] {dptl} pnc...sorry
[13:24] {Threei} that's OK, magoo hated both UAUA and DRYS
[13:24] {Threei} but as they say... if you hate squirrels, you just don't cook them right {G}
[13:25] {dptl} :)..ye i know that one
[13:25] {wishbone} squirrels are rats with fur!
[13:25] {wishbone} imo
[13:26] {dino} [10:59] {dino} 100, 15, 20

[13:29] {dptl} abx gg also
[13:29] {Threei} not really wonder with metals and PMs being strong today
[13:38] {dino} out nat .47, +.47
[13:42] {Threei} WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: ECONOMY WON'T GET BETTER OVERNIGHT; STIMULUS WILL HAVE RAPID EFFECT; 75% OF STIMULUS WILL BE FELT IN THE FIRST 18 MONTHS
[13:42] {Threei} I say:
[13:42] {Threei} if they don't do ahything at all,
[13:42] {Threei} and leave the economy well alone
[13:43] {Threei} positive impact wil be felt in the first 18 months
[13:43] {Threei} get out of the way, stop fixing it, and it will fix itself
[13:43] {Threei} painfully but fast
[13:43] {Threei} their way is painful and slow
[13:45] {cujo} ANy read on STT VAD?
[13:46] {dino} i am w/you vad, let the markets work it out. the strong survive, the rest go away
[13:47] {dino} they have messed w/the fundamentals of capitalism
[13:48] {Threei} and long term consequences of that will be much worse than any today's trobles
[13:48] {Threei} well, STT...
[13:48] {Threei} for a breakout, I'd like to see consolidation clower to 20
[13:49] {cujo} no short set up?
[13:49] {Threei} if market pulls back, and STT with it, 19.50 is obiovus support, but I have feeling it will slice through it like knife through butter
[13:49] {Threei} maybe... I just hate shorting uptrending market
[13:50] {ese} well my goodness......i can get in this way from work....how bout that .....
[13:51] {Threei} kewl

[14:00] {Threei} this one lost clean patterns for now
[14:00] {cujo} cigar is just a cigar

[14:13] {dino} cya dp
[14:18] {nemo} Well, guess the floor is in on oil. After yesterday's announcements and SLB talking bad earnings and poor outlook, the stock is up 10%
[14:18] {Threei} GERN is coming into bounce zone
[14:18] {Threei} one more sharp drop and I'll get interested
[14:19] {nemo} into support @ 7 or so
[14:19] {Threei} alternatively, 7.10 break if not losing 7 anymore
[14:25] {cujo} in .14
[14:27] {Threei} breifly hit over 1:1
[14:27] {Threei} hard to tell if has more in it
[14:27] {KSystems} half out .20....yes
[14:28] {cujo} out .17
[14:28] {jmb} thanks
[14:30] {Threei} 6.60 zone I'd me more enthusiastic about it
[14:31] {Threei} elepet... I really hope all my begging made you sell or partial
[14:32] {nemo} why 6.60? start range?
[14:32] {Threei} it stgruggled around that range before starting its run
[14:32] {Threei} closest natural support
[14:33] {cujo} when covering accidentally went short an extra 100
[14:33] {cujo} ha ha ha
[14:33] {Threei} thwere is some support around 6.80 but it doesn't feel like holding
[14:34] {Threei} STT is coming into support too
[14:35] {cujo} on its way through looks like...
[14:35] {Threei} most likely
[14:36] {Threei} not rushing in, want to see more selling
[14:36] {cujo} y
[14:37] {elepet} buying GERN?
[14:37] {Threei} nah, not safe enough here
[14:37] {Threei} not very convincing bounces
[14:38] {Threei} elepet... you sold any?
[14:39] {elepet} long ago.made $3000 very tense though.
[14:39] {Threei} whew
[14:39] {Threei} why tense
[14:39] {Threei} be tense when you lose money
[14:39] {Threei} not when you make it
[14:40] {elepet} totally focused all day. hard work. except i made and drank some wheat grass juice.hehehe
[14:40] {Threei} better choice than vodka anyway...
[14:40] {cujo} you have a wheat grass machine in your house?
[14:40] {Threei} even though dp would disagree with me
[14:40] {nemo} I would disagree
[14:40] {cujo} stt
[14:40] {Threei} there... dp got a comprade
[14:41] {cujo} this enough selling for you?
[14:41] {Threei} nope
[14:41] {cujo} ;)
[14:41] {Threei} 13:49] {Threei} if market pulls back, and STT with it, 19.50 is obiovus support, but I have feeling it will slice through it like knife through butter
[14:41] {cujo} ahh memories
[14:41] {elepet} now watching HIG. another 2 day hold over.finally green. yes i do have wheat grass juicer.
[14:41] {Threei} both, market ad STT is mini downtrend now
[14:41] {Threei} I need more convincing that this to go long
[14:42] {cujo} yup
[14:45] {elepet} GERN again? I kind of miss it.
[14:45] {elepet} we joined at the hip today.
[14:45] {Threei} I don't have firm read on it here
[14:45] {nemo} yeah, bounced off that 6.80
[14:45] {Threei} kind of flaky
[14:46] {elepet} I know.
[14:46] {elepet} but so am i
[14:46] {Threei} you have this way of marrying the stock elepet...
[14:47] {cujo} ok, through .50.... where next...
[14:47] {elepet} this one i didn't just marry. I merged. not all of them though.
[14:47] {nemo} I wonder if it's "Friday afternoon-don't want to go into the weekend long" syndrome
[14:47] {cujo} divorce?
[14:47] {nemo} vulcan?
[14:47] {Threei} don't know cujo.. I am not getting signal I would want to see
[14:48] {Threei} so I write it off as "no read"
[14:49] {elepet} vulcan it is. not sure i know what you mean, but i think i get the idea.
[14:49] {nemo} melded with the stock
[14:49] {nemo} merged...sorry
[14:49] {Threei} amalgamation
[14:50] {elepet} ah so.
[14:50] {nemo} nah...amalgamation is a mess
06[14:50] * Threei faints in awe of his vocabulary
[14:50] {Threei} better STT
[14:50] {nemo} sesquepaedalian
[14:50] {Threei} comeon, drop
[14:50] {cujo} drop it like its hot...
[14:51] {Threei} sesquepaedalian reminds me of chronoclastic infundibula
[14:51] {nemo} I'll have to google that one
[14:52] {nemo} how about "omphalos skepsis"
[14:52] {Threei} Kurt Vonnegut... Sirens of Titan
[14:52] {dino} hmmm, just like yesterday
[14:53] {nemo} well, Vad, you said that on November 29, 2007 not quite yesterdya, but close
[15:01] {nemo} look at GOOG today Vad?
[15:03] {Threei} UAW CONFIRMS DISBANDING OF CHRYSLER JOB BANK ON JAN 26, AS PREVIOUSLY AGREED
[15:03] {Threei} nope
[15:07] {Threei} GERN on CNBC again
[15:08] {Threei} irtching to short it
[15:12] {nemo} things just kinda' drifting
[15:12] {Threei} yup, aimless wandering'
[15:12] {nemo} Feels like everybody pulled a magoo
[15:12] {Threei} and those who didn't, pulled dp?
[15:13] {nemo} yeah, but I'd rather talk about Magoo when he's not here. We had a saying. Blame the guy who's not here, he can't speak up to defend himself.
[15:14] {dino} lol
[15:14] {fernp} very valuable info today in the room. Thank you very much Vad.
[15:14] {fernp} Have a nice weekend all. see you on monday.
[15:15] {Threei} and we had a saying: before beating up on someone, you gotta try and walk inhis shoes. This way you get to do both, beat him up AND get his shoes
[15:15] {Threei} great to hear fern
[15:15] {Threei} take care and have a great weekend
[15:16] {patience} quite a remarkable day vad...made 7 separate gold scalps...think there is another 40 bucks to go in it but don't want to hold over the weekend...and 7 out of 7...won't push my luck
[15:16] {nemo} Yeah, I think the term translated is "walk on him"
[15:16] {Threei} wow
[15:16] {Threei} fantastic performance patience
[15:17] {patience} ty, it was a great momo day
[15:19] {nemo} Funny culture between Ukraine and Moscow somewhat similar
[15:19] {elepet} you can short it now. GERN) I'm out +.15. and of course it went up. a lot. but i want to turn off the computer.
[15:20] {Threei} good practice selling your darlings elepet
[15:20] {Threei} wtg, have a great weekend
[15:20] {elepet} i know. it strikes me as silly, but i guess it's the rule of this game
[15:23] {nemo} attachments create irrationality
[15:23] {Threei} silly?
[15:23] {Threei} taking profit?
[15:23] {Threei} I'll need some serious explanation as to how it can be silly :)
[15:23] {nemo} some whackin' due here
[15:23] {nemo} hit him with Livermore's book
[15:27] {nemo} What in't you see on Gern that you were looking for Vad?
[15:28] {Threei} just nothing convincing one way or another
[15:29] {nemo} I notice those last two radical drops weren't accompanied by any climactic selling. Was that an issue
[15:29] {nemo} ?
[15:29] {Threei} one of, yes
[15:29] {Threei} want to see exhausting selling
[15:30] {nemo} which needs volume?
[15:30] {Threei} or at least some change of pace
[15:30] {Threei} instead it just drifts up aand down with not much of indication
[15:31] {Threei} I am not junmping on whatever moves without clean setup
[15:31] {nemo} not stocks anyway
[15:31] {Threei} ummm... it sounded better in my head
[15:31] {nemo} understood
[15:36] {dino} ok, gotta hop, kids want to go skiing. take care all, cutting cedc here
