What a day. Can't say we exploited it to the fullest, this last hour rally wasn't easy to read by any means and even harder to chase after seeing all bounces being sold throughout the day. Still, almost all trades worked, and swing trade on PALM hit its $9 target. No complaints.

[09:21] {Threei} one of the most useless books ever written about tyrading is getting such a respectful reference:
[09:21] {Threei} Even Burton Malkiel, the Princeton economist who wrote the 1973 best seller A Random Walk Down Wall Street, which argued that technical analysis is a bogus method of prediction, admits that its a strategy that seems to be working now.
[09:21] {Threei} even?

[10:16] {nemo} dropped that much since yesterday?
[10:17] {Threei} market is down... oil is moving with market lately
[10:17] {nemo} this is reminding me of what happened in reverse. I look at gas prices and their movements aren't correlated with oil.
[10:17] {Threei} with some divergencies here and there

[11:07] {gen} thanks Vad :) +.15 RIMM

[11:07] {cujo} out +.15 as well. thanks Vad.
[11:08] {Threei} welcome
[11:09] {cujo} nice audible Vad
[11:09] {Threei} audible?
[11:09] {magoo} nice bioss
[11:09] {cujo} last min change of strategy in foot ball terms
[11:09] {buyemsellem} football reference, changing the play in the huddle
[11:10] {buyemsellem} by football i mean american football
[11:10] {Threei} thanks... unfamiliar term :)
[11:10] {nemo} or at the line
[11:10] {buyemsellem} oh yeah, actually it's at the line you're right
[11:10] {nemo} yeah qb sees the defense, changes the play
[11:17] {dino} apol big pullback
[11:22] {Threei} if market dives sharply, RIMM short on .50 break
[11:22] {Threei} with stop above .60
[11:26] {dino} vad, did you forget what i said yesterday on rimm?
[11:26] {Threei} remind me
[11:26] {larisa} you said 52
[11:26] {dino} indeed
[11:26] {wulff} any good ideas for my PALM target, ST?
[11:26] {magoo} powereing up here
[11:27] {Threei} where are you long from on PALM?
[11:27] {wulff} 7.75
[11:28] {Threei} if enough shares for partial, take half
[11:28] {wulff} 1 lot, sounds good
[11:28] {Threei} and let it trade, with any meaningful market rebound 9 should be reachable
[11:29] {wulff} ty
[11:29] {Threei} RIMM, 50 break is kind of lingering setup
[11:29] {Threei} will be on and off, until finally breaks
[11:33] {Threei} meanwhile, it looks quite scalpable on market moves
[11:33] {Threei} as long as .50 is holding, it's bouncing from there when market helps
[11:35] {wulff} i think its over 50 in less than an hour
[11:37] {Threei} yeah, coiling
[11:37] {ese} i'm otta here for a bit...still long Q's catch ya later
[11:37] {Threei} take care ese
[11:38] {ese} see ya vad
[11:44] {Threei} NQ went green
[11:47] {cujo} rimm refuses to break 50...
[11:48] {wulff} like yest.
[11:49] {magoo} if or once it does prob go to m52
[11:51] {Threei} {RIMM} don't rush me, I do things on my own schedule
[11:55] {dino} ndx and naz are separating from general market lately, much stronger
[11:59] {nemo} So....can we blame this on Mags since he pissed off the trading gods?
[11:59] {Threei} financials weigh on listed where they are represented much heavier
[12:00] {nemo} I wasn't looking for a rational explanation...I wanted an emotional knee-jerk response.
[12:00] {magoo} blame what? today is easier trading day
[12:00] {Threei} I actually commented on dino
[12:00] {magoo} my GREMLINS are the gods response tio me
[12:00] {nemo} oh.....nevermind
[12:01] {magoo} btw..cramer over on site is actually pissed at naz strenght
[12:01] {magoo} he wants it to crash...hes out of touch
[12:01] {nemo} hedgies...he's blaming them
[12:02] {magoo} if Gs cant powerup...bodes bad for overall day
[12:03] {Threei} I truly hope tou meant Qs and not some kind of Gstrings or something of that kind
[12:04] {nemo} Well, it is lunchtime...and Mags is probably...uh....eh.....web surfing
[12:04] {magoo} roflol..the latter or, um

[13:27] {nemo} three days of sell the news
[13:27] {Threei} well... there was no real news to sell, lol
[13:27] {nemo} yeah...details
[13:27] {Threei} to me, it looks different a bit
[13:27] {Threei} market did want that news and was ready to ramp up
[13:28] {Threei} selloff is disappoinment by absence of news
[13:28] {_bobv} I thnik the same

[13:29] {Threei} - Attendees agreed that underlying mortgages were what needed to be addressed
[13:29] {nemo} looking at FAS voulme picked up after lunch, but no capitulation
[13:29] {nemo} for whom...what's good for the country is unlikely good for Goldman
[13:30] {Threei} yeah, I am not so sure addresing mortgages will solve anything

[13:52] {Threei} I suggest to shut down CNBC in order to provide for healthier markets
[13:52] {cujo} Personally i've moved to Bloomberg TV
[13:52] {Threei} this is unbelievably irresponsible that some hack can move market by baseless speculations
[13:53] {cujo} worth it just to not hear Gasparino
[13:53] {cujo} aka the hack
[13:54] {Threei} even loss of some nice-looking gals can be compensated easily if magoo shares thr sites he visits with us...

[14:13] {larisa} I miss old good times, when smallest news moved stocks several points in right direction :)
[14:13] {Threei} I am lost in these bill corrections
[14:13] {Threei} reps fought it, and they were all for tax cuts,
[14:13] {Threei} so how come compromise version prsentes less tax ioncentives?
[14:14] {nemo} Because more than 1/3 of the "working" population pays no taxes already, only fica and medicare.

[14:19] {dino} with cramer preaching crash, most likely we go up 300-400 pts in a day or two. he's always saying get out around 8000 and buy 8400
[14:19] {Threei} well, you have to give it to him... he is consistent
[14:20] {cujo} Just remembering his Bear Sterns rant...
[14:20] {cujo} that was great.

[14:20] {larisa} tomorrow is friday 13th too..

[14:25] {dino} and dino is a flintstone
[14:26] {nemo} I liked Betty

[14:39] {Threei} mrket uptick should jump it
[14:41] {wulff} sh HIG @ 12
[14:42] {magoo} 'what entry u want rimm.40 area?
[14:43] {Threei} if it loses .50, likelty to dive more
[14:43] {Threei} impossible to tell the price, pretty much will depend on market bounce
[14:44] {magoo} 201 down
[14:45] {dino} whoosh down coming imo
[14:46] {Threei} yup
[14:46] {Threei} that's why I am not in rush to jump on these microbounces
[14:46] {Threei} unless you are scalping for 5-10 cents in seconds, makes no sense
[14:46] {magoo} its sad really
[14:47] {magoo} 380 down..barely bounce..200 down again
[14:47] {Threei} it is what it is... sad markets are followed by happy markets
[14:48] {Threei} although this year it's mor like sad markets are followed by sadder markets, lol
[14:50] {larisa} at these levels traders think we must retest lows i guess. Big mistake by Geitner. Or it was done for a reason we do not know about :)
[14:51] {Threei} just a PR disaster IMO
[14:51] {larisa} I agree
[14:51] {Threei} hugely built up expectations
[14:51] {Threei} "Tim be be terrific"...
