Many room members found quite a few nice plays; I was mostly sitting things out. Other than GERN nice run-up and something unusual happening with PALM, not much interesting.

[08:37] {nemo} No
[08:38] {hawkfan4} They are looking good. i'm just glad the Hawks are finally starting to get it together. It's been a long time since they've been even decent.
[08:39] {nemo} I can empathize

[08:40] {Threei} creators said befofe this season start, they are in answers mode now,
[08:40] {KSystems} but dont spoil me =) recent two seasons havent aired in germany
[08:41] {Threei} yeaterday's episode, if anything, only adds questions, lol
[08:41] {Threei} oh, wow
[08:41] {Threei} that's a bummer
[08:41] {Threei} IMO, last two are the best
[08:41] {ese} morning
[08:41] {Threei} ese :)
[08:41] {hawkfan4} hey es
[08:42] {Threei} they are on internet somewhere I believe KS
[08:42] {Threei} ad before the episode had url
[08:44] {Threei} http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=index
[08:45] {Threei} oh, great
[08:45] {Threei} only for USA veiwers
[08:46] {nemo} maybe a torrent site
[08:46] {Threei} but that would be commerial-free
[08:48] {ese} hey hawk.....was down on the floor doing stretching exercises
[08:48] {i2romantis} morning everyone!
[08:49] {Threei} i2r :)
[08:49] {cujo} morning i2r
[08:49] {hawkfan4} that actually sounds like a good idea es
[08:50] {Threei} (RU) RUSSIA PM PUTIN REPORTEDLY SETS OIL EXPORT DUTY AT $100.90/TON
[08:50] {Threei} great... now we have to convert ton to barrel
[08:51] {nemo} The Tsar is back....
[08:51] {nemo} that's like $25 a barrel
[08:52] {Threei} with abundance of oil on the market, sounds like surefire way to render themselves irrelevant
[08:52] {nemo} or give others ideas
[08:53] {cosmo} why burn oil when you can burn bridges?
[08:53] {nemo} Only temporary cosmo
[08:54] {cosmo} yes... fires eventulaly die
[08:54] {Threei} I saw Gore on TV yesterday... he told me we are at the tipping point
[08:54] {cosmo} eventually
[08:54] {cosmo} cheers then
[08:55] {Threei} I expected the sentence to end with "... frm warming to cooling"
[08:55] {Onix} you spoke to Gore on TV Vad?
[08:55] {Threei} well, they talk to me... sometimes I try to asnwer
[08:55] {Onix} :D
[08:55] {Threei} but my answers are rarely suitable for women and children
[08:56] {nemo} Yeah, archeologists centuries from now will find him frozen in a glacier
[08:56] {Onix} :O
[08:56] {Threei} and considering how rich Russian is in swearing department...
[08:58] {Onix} you don't have one of those rubber bricks you can throw at the tV?
[08:59] {Onix} it works better than throwing the remote ... trust me
[09:01] {Threei} no, I don't go that far
[09:02] {Threei} swearing at TV is relaxation tchnique to me
[09:03] {nemo} I was at a party once where the guy who owned the place got up and put a 1 wood right through the screen...relaxation I guess
[09:03] {nemo} nice swing actually
[09:04] {cujo} what was showing on the TV that made him that mad?
[09:04] {cujo} and by 1 wood, do you mean a Driver or a 1 iron?
[09:04] {hawkfan4} i'm guessing it was CNBC
[09:04] {cujo} ha ha ha
[09:05] {nemo} I was "rather drunk at the time" to quote a favorite Pom. I don't remember 1 wood=driver, yes. Sorry....OLD school. Nah, twenty years ago.
[09:05] {cujo} ha ha ha. that is funny.

[09:15] {ese} hanging defeats purpose of the trade ...was just a day trade
[09:16] {cujo} Vad, outside of usual suspects, anything you think we should keep a close eye on this AM?
[09:17] {Threei} not at this point, I don't see anything trading in unusual enough way to warrant special attention
[09:17] {magoo} SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[09:17] {Threei} sheesh... magoo, torture is forbidden now, haven't you heard
[09:17] {Threei} so id self-torture

[09:18] {dino} well; hell is repetition (storm of the century)
[09:19] {cujo} s qqqq .01
[09:19] {Threei} as much as ChanServ enjoys it... I'd still urge you to talk to KS and set it up right finally :)
[09:19] {ese} the only way that little message could be more annoying is if they put in capitols and highlighted the word "YOU" are not permitted etc etc
[09:19] {Threei} lol
[09:20] {nemo} Or...they lifted your name and inserted that..
[09:20] {magoo} you are not coming up in floor today vad
[09:21] {Threei} I am
[09:21] {Threei} [09:19] {Alert} Threei as much as ChanServ enjoys it... I'd still urge you to talk to KS and set it up right finally :)
[09:21] {Threei} [09:19] {Alert} Threei lol
[09:21] {Threei} [09:21] {Alert} Threei I am
[09:21] {Threei} that's from floor

[09:23] {nemo} that's where magoo thinks
[09:23] {nemo} a pimple on his a$$ is a brain tumor
[09:23] {nemo} had to...sorry
[09:25] {magoo} i need help K..but later ok?
[09:25] {KSystems} sure

[09:26] {Threei} {magoo} i need help {--- I waited for this admission for years
[09:27] {magoo} ty..weird..fist time flloor been dead..its open ..just says im in that room which is diferent too
[09:27] {nemo} were you sitting down?
[09:27] {magoo} but wanna trade
[09:27] {magoo} so later
[09:27] {Threei} skipping first min utes guys, don't see anything trade-ready
[09:29] {i2romantis} my hunch is that DRYS is too low, we'll see
[09:29] {Threei} could be i2r, it's just first reaction on such dump is violwent,
[09:30] {Threei} risk is large, and this was not a very safe stock to begin with
[09:30] {i2romantis} true
[09:30] {dino} secondary $500m drys
[09:30] {Threei} I would prefer very sharp selloff on it, one of those "out of anything remotely reminding sensible"
[09:31] {Threei} those produce more readable scalps
[09:31] {dino} might be easier to play tbsi, nat
[09:31] {Threei} or prolonged consolidation, digestion of selling pressujre, then break
[09:32] {Threei} FAS nice jump
[09:32] {Threei} watching if it pulls back again to form double bottom

[15:50] {nemo} yeah, in the market downswing
[15:51] {nemo} bye folks
[15:51] {elepet} decision time PALM...take $10 profit or hold?
[15:51] {larisa} lol
[15:51] {Threei} take care nemo
[15:51] {Threei} elepet... my suggestion:
[15:51] {KSystems} bye nemo
[15:52] {dino} looking as if the funds don't have the funds to mark up any more. the pattern is broken
[15:52] {Threei} take position small enough not to hurt if something bad happens
[15:53] {Threei} if it shows more strength tomorrow, you will have ample opportunity to add
[15:53] {dino} cya nemo
[15:53] {Threei} FAS death was anything but painless
[15:54] {elepet} i have 1000 shares from 7.97. tendancy is to hold.
[15:54] {Threei} if it can gnaw through 8 before close, would be a nice encouragement
[15:55] {dino} well thats what you get w/cramer ranting all day yesterday to not fight the fed
[15:55] {Threei} guy is amazing
[15:55] {Threei} lookie lookie PALM
[15:56] {dino} i wish they would just say; "let the markets work it out, no more $"
[15:56] {Threei} no chance
[15:56] {Threei} they are determined to fix it
[15:57] {elepet} guess i'm holding.
