That was a great day for both, us and the market (well, it was time for the market, wasn't it). I got a strong feeling that the relentless selling of late wasn't in the cards today, alerted about no shorting for today, and we started hunting for longs. Couple stops turned out to be just shakeouts and were easily compensated by winning plays, both scalps and day trades. FAS, HIG, BAC, RIMM - all performed for us and made a day nicely profitable AND fun.
Session Time: Tue Feb 24 00:00:00 2009
[07:45] {nemo} mornin'
[07:53] {magoo} morning
[08:01] {Threei} Good morning
[08:02] {Threei} CSUN
[08:02] {Threei} SIGNS SOLAR CELL SALES AGREEMENT WITH U.S. BASED MANUFACTURER OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PRODUCTS
[08:07] {Threei} Credit Markets:
[08:07] {Threei} - WSJ notes that warning signs are once again appearing in credit markets, noting that the revival in risk appetite seen at the start of 2009 has faded.
[08:07] {Threei} - Alarge part of the problem relates to a lack of clarity on how governments plan to inject new equity into banks and take bad assets off balance sheets.
[08:07] {Threei} duh
[08:07] {Threei} - The spread between US dollar Libor and the overnight indexed-swap rate is now back above 1.0 percentage points versus a low of about 0.9 percentage point in Jan.
[08:07] {Threei} - Also spreads on nearly all tranches of the CMBX index have hit record wide levels in Feb after a Jan rally.
[08:07] {Threei} - Furthermore, corporate defaults and ratings downgrades are accelerating.
[08:12] {nemo} slightly tongue in cheek...but we might as well just buy FAZ and go on vacation :)
[08:17] {Threei} yeah, and get decimated when market decides it had enough :)
[08:17] {Threei} tongue in cheek too, but here is the thought:
[08:18] {nemo} [08:12] {nemo} slightly tongue in cheek...
[08:18] {Threei} our powers that be woould do the best thing by announcing:
[08:18] {Threei} you know what, we don't know what to do and we are not going to do anything
[08:18] {nemo} yep
[08:18] {Threei} we would have sold 1000 points in 15 minutes
[08:19] {Threei} aand that would be the end of it
[08:19] {nemo} Nature is Unkind...in the end you cannot avoid the principle
[08:19] {Threei} realizing that we are on our own, market would start healing
[08:20] {Threei} MSFT CEO BALLMER: THE US IS EXPERIENCING AN "ECONOMIC RESET" THAT MAY TAKE SEVERAL YEARS - SHAREHOLDER MEETING
[08:20] {Threei} - Notes Windows Mobile business is not profitable.
[08:20] {Threei} BALTIC DRY BULK INDEX -3.6%, SECOND STRAIGHT DECREASE
[08:20] {Threei} feeling in the air IMO:
[08:20] {Threei} it's getting so dark that resolution is near
[08:23] {larisa} good morning
[08:23] {Threei} larisa :)
[08:24] {larisa} threei :)
[08:25] {Threei} *TED SPREAD OPENS AT 97 BPS V 97BPS PRIOR; LIBOR-OIS SPREAD OPENS AT 102BPS V 102BPS PRIOR
[08:31] {Threei} FDIC'S BAIR: HIGHLIGHTS NEED FOR BANK STRESS TESTS TO DETERMINE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
[08:31] {Threei} - Notes large banks have adequate regulatory capital and are "fine for now."
[08:31] {Threei} - Reminder: Back on 2/23, the Treasury and Fed jointly stated that the US govt stands firmly behind the banking system and confirmed their intent to begin stress testing on Feb 25
[08:31] {Threei} do we get to know the results of tests?
[08:32] {cosmo} sounds too stressful
[08:33] {Threei} sure... but banks named as successfully tested would have posted serious rallies
[08:35] {cosmo} RMBS has sucessful day in court
[08:36] {cosmo} but they're not a bank
[08:36] {Threei} news is quite confusing on it
[08:36] {Threei} 02/23/09 04:15pm
[08:36] {Threei} [RMBS] Rambus Inc Reportedly Hynix wins ruling in California district court against Rambus in DRAM chip patent case
[08:36] {Threei} - The ruling will allow Hynix to continue chip sales; Rambus had sought an injunction on the sales.
[08:36] {Threei} - Hynix to pay Rambus royalties of 4.25% for DDR SDRAM
[08:37] {Threei} 02/23/09 09:02pm [000660.KS] Company said it will file an appeal vs the US court on royalties paid to Rambus, says sales in US will continue uninterrupted
[08:38] {cosmo} yes...confusing
[08:42] {nemo} Malzeit Herrn K!
[08:44] {magoo} vad..question..if u do not say half lot..are u still calling full lots? onl;y ask because of this brutal environmt
[08:44] {KSystems} hello :)
[08:44] {Threei} ks :)
[08:44] {Threei} yes mags
[08:44] {Threei} on thick stocks with a stop tight enough
[08:45] {Threei} what's the point to go to half lot on something that has very little slippage and stop, say, 10-15 cents
[08:45] {nemo} Fear
[08:46] {Threei} fear of what
[08:46] {Threei} your stop is your safety net
[08:46] {Threei} loss is predetermined and built into expectations
[08:46] {nemo} I agree...it's acknowledging the emotional content
[08:47] {Threei} our acknowledgment of this brutal environment is manifested in being picky
[08:47] {Threei} not overtrading
[08:47] {Threei} staying in the trenches
[08:47] {nemo} right there with ya'
[08:47] {Threei} but, when the trade comes along
[08:47] {Threei} it's business as usual
[08:48] {Threei} normal stop setting, normal sizing
[08:48] {Threei} expectations on profit side may be somewhat different,
[08:48] {magoo} ok
[08:48] {Threei} since volatility dictates more scalping
[08:48] {nemo} Not to speak for Mags specifically, but he being a hunter doesn't usually have to worry about being the prey. This market...sometimes you're less sure who's predator and who's prey
[08:49] {Threei} but look at our trades lately,
[08:49] {Threei} we had quite a few sizeable wins
[08:49] {cujo} good morning
[08:49] {Threei} cujo :)
[08:49] {Threei} so, you never know
[08:50] {Threei} just position yourself right, manage the trade and let market do its thing
[08:50] {fernp} Hello everybody
[08:51] {nemo} absolutely...isn't that the beauty, albeit vicious beauty of the taskmaster we call the market. It forces a rigid rational discipline to overcome the natural emotional instincts
[08:51] {Threei} fern :)
[08:51] {cujo} hello fern
[08:54] {Threei} MDRX looked so good on daily
[08:54] {Threei} broke 10- yesterday, I intended to watch it for slight pullback, holding 10 and breaking yesterday's high
[08:55] {Threei} not sure what happened, I see just a downgrade
[08:56] {Threei} PIMCO'S BILL GROSS: U.S. AND GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEMS REQUIRE CREDIT CREATION AND FORECLOSURE PREVENTION, NOT BANK NATIONALIZATION AS CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED BY SOME - MARCH INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
[08:56] {Threei} - "If the government cannot substitute credit to the same extent that it is disappearing from the private system, then the U.S. and global economies will retreat"
[08:56] {Threei} - "Liquidate debt (credit) to 2003 totals and you just might reduce economic activity (GDP) to 2003 numbers as well."
[08:57] {Threei} - "There is fear on foreign shores that even U.S. agency debt may not be honored and that U.S. Treasury debt itself, when repoed as in prior years, may now suffer from counterparty risk. Global willingness to accept American dollars is being tested. Granted, the U.S. currency has appreciated strongly against its counterparts during most of this crisis, but technical short covering as opposed to a flight to quality may have been the dominant consideration. Watch the dollar. If it falls hard, there may be nothing policymakers can do to restore the ensuing financial chaos."
[08:57] {Threei} one more doomsayer
[08:58] {cosmo} the dollar gets a stress test?
[08:58] {Threei} I guess
[09:00] {nemo} Duh...that's the point...this stuff is disappearing and there is no way to replace it because all methods will appear artificial. Unfortunately system expand and contract...you can not have permanent expansion...it has been artificially generated and the system is snapping back
[09:00] {Threei} *Q4 SP_CASE-SHILLER US HPI Y/Y: -18.23V -17.2%E; US HPI: V 150.0 PRIOR
[09:00] {Onix} gm all

[09:01] {Threei} DEC CASE SHILLER HOME PRICE INDEX: 150.66 V 154.59 PRIOR; COMPOSITE 20 INDEX: -18.55% V -18.3%E
[09:01] {Threei} *Q4 SP_CASE-SHILLER US HPI Y/Y: -18.23% V -17.2%E; US HPI: 139.14 V 150.0 PRIOR
[09:03] {cosmo} ....so it IS just a zero sum game after all....
[09:03] {dino} gm all
[09:04] {nemo} no...it's a system whose natural dynamics have been thwarted. The principles are unavoidable, and the farther they are stretched the more vicious the recoil
[09:05] {Threei} dino :)
[09:06] {pita} morning seekers of the green...
[09:06] {Threei} pita :)
[09:07] {dino} or pain
[09:10] {Threei} I am not that giddy about shorting so far as I was for the past week
[09:11] {Threei} spring is coiled and market is tired of endless selling
[09:11] {Threei} sudden rally for no good reason may come out of nowhere
[09:11] {dptl} good morning all
[09:12] {Threei} dp :)
[09:12] {cosmo} that rally will come after bad news too
[09:12] {dino} is there any other kind lately?
[09:12] {Threei} could be on anything
[09:12] {Threei} in spite of bad news, on any hint of good news or without news at all
[09:13] {Threei} it's not that I expect it to happen and hunt for it
[09:13] {Threei} rather, I am careful with shorting as probability of that rises
[09:15] {cosmo} i am comfortable being the 'trap door spider'
[09:15] {cosmo} ...waiting
[09:18] {cosmo} a final fanatical sell off that reverses with just a half hour to go in the trading day.... its been a long time...
[09:18] {cosmo} but its classic
[09:20] {magoo} shorts may cover AHEAD of speech tonite
[09:21] {magoo} we are down relentless here
[09:21] {magoo} than pop tomorrow and crash after relizeobama is lost
[09:21] {Threei} remind me what today's speech is about?
[09:22] {Threei} I am getting lost in them
[09:22] {cosmo} slice of the onion
[09:22] {nemo} It's Tuesday so ther must be a speech
[09:22] {Threei} ok
[09:22] {Threei} lol
[09:23] {magoo} he'll be on tv today giving speech as a prelude to tonites speech

[10:57] {Threei} let's see if it reapts the performance
[10:57] {Threei} .80 - .85 zone to watch
[10:58] {Threei} CECO no worky
[10:58] {nemo} got croaked on ceco
[11:04] {Threei} this action inconsistent with rally continuation
[11:04] {Threei} backing off for now
[11:06] {nemo} could you expound on that?
[11:06] {Threei} ?
[11:06] {Threei} which part?
[11:06] {nemo} what you consider inconsistent with continuation
[11:07] {Threei} pullback into support,
[11:07] {Threei} if the rally is in full steam still
[11:07] {Threei} market should have bounced from there right away
[11:07] {Threei} and proceed to back to the high quickly.
[11:07] {Threei} Instead, it posted little bounce, returned to support and stalled there
[11:08] {nemo} ty
[11:08] {Threei} remains unclear whether it reaks support now or regains strength
[11:08] {Threei} but case for the rally is not as clear now
[11:10] {cujo} Vad, how do you take your Vodka?
[11:10] {Threei} straight

[11:13] {magoo} whole dam mkt a toughie he he
[11:13] {Threei} well
[11:13] {Threei} I see it this way
[11:13] {Threei} I am pretty much satisfied with strong feel of snapback coming, thus staying away from shorting
[11:14] {Threei} a few trades worked, compensated nicely for couple stops,
[11:14] {Threei} nothing earthshuttering,
[11:14] {Threei} but full reversal of the trading aapproach in one day is not something you do
[11:14] {buyemsellem} I certify your accounting as accurate
[11:15] {Threei} if you can get the feel of climate changing in time to keep you from old course
[11:15] {Threei} and even get some crumbs along the new one
[11:15] {Threei} I'd say it's pretty good timing

[12:42] {Threei} - Not trying to affect the cost of govt finance, merely trying to help private credit markets.
[12:45] {Threei} BAC is starting to look more stable
[12:45] {Threei} if we get pullback into .10 - .15 area, will be worth a try
[12:45] {Threei} scared to say, but possibly for a bigger run
[12:47] {Threei} if no more incessant flow of comments form high above, this thing can move over 4.50 and quite possibly closer to 5
[12:48] {Threei} GS new high
[12:49] {cujo} where's Hawk?
[12:49] {magoo} just wacked it .40 to 61

[12:50] {Threei} do you feel this rising tension in BAC?
[12:50] {cujo} y
[12:50] {cujo} some upward mobility?
[12:51] {Threei} yeah
[12:51] {Threei} worry isn't fully out yet
[12:51] {Threei} but it's fighting
[12:53] {cujo} it is...
[12:54] {Threei} I have to say... all this selling of late,
[12:54] {Threei} it's setting a stage for some spectaculat fireworks
[12:55] {Threei} we are crawling through it, making small gains day by day,
[12:55] {magoo} vad...keep open mind
[12:55] {Threei} then time comes for really explosive moves
[12:55] {magoo} do not perceive up as a gimmee
[12:55] {Threei} I don't
[12:55] {Threei} not yet
[12:56] {magoo} ok..good
[12:56] {Threei} you could see my thought process this morning

[12:56] {Threei} going from shorting mindset to no shorting

[12:57] {Threei} not ready for a longer hold yet
[12:57] {Threei} want to see a hard shakeout
[12:57] {magoo} where the pattern on it?
[12:57] {Threei} it's quite capable of those
[12:57] {Threei} I'd like to see it back into .20
[12:58] {Threei} see how sharp its red bars can be?
[12:58] {magoo} yup
[12:59] {Threei} S&P REPORTS CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIOS AMONG US INSURERS REMAINS STRONG, BUT SEES DOWNWARD TREND
[12:59] {Threei} - "Capitalization is especially important for mortgage insurers because their exposure to the mortgage and housing markets makes their operating results more volatile than most lines of business," said Standard & Poor''s credit analyst James Brender. "For this reason, our criteria caps the rating on a mortgage insurer at the rating its capital adequacy ratio (CAR) implies."
[12:59] {Threei} - According to S&P, this is unique to mortgage insurers, and a mortgage insurer can be rated below the rating its CAR implies.
[13:00] {Threei} BAC is getting there
[13:01] {magoo} u got the ball..u make the call:)
[13:01] {nemo} figures...I gotta' Magoo it

[13:06] {magoo} chrsisakes scalp GS again same but dollar higher..hit .40 out .65
[13:06] {cujo} waiting on this last piece
[13:06] {Threei} IMO... put .19 stop to that last piece,
[13:06] {cujo} done
[13:06] {Threei} and see if you can get closer to .50
[13:07] {cujo} stop .19, fingers crossed...
[13:09] {Threei} ugh... forgot about HIG
[13:12] {dino} watching esi, apol
[13:12] {cujo} u think safe to update stop to .24 on BAC Vad?
[13:13] {Threei} can't tell, this sharp market downtick is not technical
[13:14] {cujo} ok, holding at .19
[13:14] {Threei} it really comes to personal preferences here
[13:14] {Threei} I would do the same
[13:14] {Threei} someone who cherishes every cent would better take it off the table
[13:15] {Threei} see, to me this feels like last dance before takeoff
[13:15] {Threei} I don't mean this very pullback on BAC
[13:15] {Threei} but overall this market up and down over last few hours
[13:16] {Threei} it's just a gut feel
[13:16] {Threei} I am not ready to commit to it by taking a lot of long positions
[13:16] {Threei} but having one already, and with most of profit protected
[13:16] {Threei} and with negligible stop for the balance
[13:16] {Threei} I'd oprefer to hold it and give it a chance
[13:17] {cujo} yup
[13:17] {Threei} AIG

[13:21] {wulff} Feels like a relief rally coming
[13:22] {Threei} yes
[13:22] {Threei} JPM, want one more pullback, slallow

[13:26] {Threei} you took it mags?
[13:26] {magoo} yup
[13:27] {cujo} y
[13:27] {cujo} almost
[13:27] {magoo} waiting .47
[13:27] {Threei} pullback is coming
[13:27] {Threei} and pullbacks are unnerving
[13:27] {cujo} out .40 BAC impatient
[13:27] {cujo} sry Vad
[13:28] {Threei} one quick theory moment guys
[13:29] {Threei} this way of entry on running stocks as we did on BAC,
[13:29] {Threei} waiting for a sharp pullback,
[13:29] {Threei} is the way to do it during these early stages of bear market rallies
[13:29] {Threei} if you tried to buy break on it,
[13:29] {Threei} you'd be shaken out
[13:30] {Threei} or had to sit through a gut-wrenching pullback with too wide stop
[13:30] {magoo} a "but" is coming
[13:30] {Threei} time for pure breakouts will come
[13:30] {Threei} for now it's pullbacks that shake weak hands out

[13:48] {nemo} but you are a Sith lord
[13:48] {Threei} [12:45] {Threei} scared to say, but possibly for a bigger run
[13:48] {Threei} [12:47] {Threei} if no more incessant flow of comments form high above, this thing can move over 4.50 and quite possibly closer to 5

[14:19] {Threei} lol
[14:19] {nemo} having said that, if it holds this bottom, you should get your pull back

[14:31] {wulff} we needed one of these days, one
[14:31] {Threei} we will have much more
[14:31] {Threei} not right away
[14:31] {Threei} but this time will come
[14:31] {Threei} and I have just an alert for those days:
[14:31] {Threei} Long Setup: ANYTHING at any price
[14:32] {cujo} really? we gonna do this?
[14:32] {cujo} :)
[14:32] {nemo} except shorts

[14:34] {buyemsellem} out @@@@ +.@@
[14:34] {Threei} oops, I bought XYZ even though you called ABC, but made money anyway, so thank you
[14:34] {Threei} you know it's one of those days
[14:35] {cujo} nice, magoo lemme know.
[14:35] {magoo} miss them days bvad
[14:35] {Threei} consider today a sneak preview
[14:36] {Threei} and don't call me bvad
[14:36] {cujo} you think we have mkt wide capitulation?
[14:36] {dino} no
[14:36] {Threei} we didn't
[14:36] {cujo} "coming soon."
[14:37] {Threei} we had orderly selling
[14:37] {Threei} but nothing even close to real capitulation
[14:37] {buyemsellem} do you think capitulation is necessary for the markets to turn?
[14:37] {nemo} The capitulations might have been in November. Too many stocks aren't anywhere near there 52 week lows
[14:37] {dino} no
[14:37] {Threei} no, not that we must
[14:38] {Threei} it would be nice
[14:38] {dino} bears can end w/ a whimper too
[14:38] {Threei} but bottoming out can happen in various ways
[14:38] {Threei} right dino
[14:38] {nemo} looks like the "pullback" might be over
[14:38] {magoo} 'thinkin same
[14:38] {dino} apathy could be a sign at some point
[14:39] {magoo} so prolonged and dismal
[14:39] {cujo} faz sub 60
[14:39] {magoo} may be sold
[14:40] {Threei} watch HIG
[14:41] {Threei} if sells off into .10 - .20 area will be bounce scalp candidate
[14:44] {Threei} anyone got it, keep stop under .05
[14:44] {cujo} in
[14:44] {Threei} aim to take profit in .25 - .30 area
[14:45] {nemo} in .12
[14:47] {Threei} here we go
[14:47] {Threei} easy money
[14:47] {jmb} thanks
[14:47] {Threei} :)
[14:48] {nemo} ty
[14:48] {Threei} I love it so when they are this obedient
[14:48] {Threei} pullback depth is clearly readable, support is holding like charm, bounce is right into profit zone
[14:49] {wulff} Was is it support at 2:20pm or so?
[14:49] {Threei} well, natural support is 8
[14:49] {Threei} but in such strong markets they tend to bottom out aa bit higher
[14:50] {wulff} oh
[14:50] {Threei} and pullback from above .50 was quite sizeable
[14:50] {Threei} in weak downtrending markets they tend to do the opposite:
[14:50] {Threei} they sell down under the natural support before bouncing
[14:50] {wulff} most annoying
[14:50] {Threei} you may remeber many of my bounce calls from weak markets
[14:51] {Threei} where I suggested zones under the support
[14:51] {Threei} what I like about these nice quick scalps is,
[14:51] {Threei} they help eliminate the effect of those few stops we had earlier
[14:52] {Threei} so the gains become clean
[14:52] {Threei} mentally I mostly percieve them in this wway
[14:52] {Threei} stope compensation if you will
[14:53] {wulff} refunds
