Mar 24 2009

Very nice day with a few well controlled stops and nice-sized wins. Second half of the day was mostly boring with infrequent opportunities. All the same heroes - FAS, BAC, WFC, RIMM...


Session Time: Tue Mar 24 00:00:00 2009

[07:53] {nemo} morning
[07:54] {Threei}  Good morning sleepless in, umm, various cities
[07:54] {nemo} I've been up for 3 hours
[07:56] {Threei}  what can I say... try sleep aid?
[07:56] {Threei}  ok, daily comedy of irrelevance starts with:
[07:56] {Threei}  (US) FED'S EVANS: FED WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TIGHTENING POLICY RATES AT A QUICKER PACE IN LATE 2001
[07:56] {Threei}  really?
[07:56] {Threei}  in 2001?
[07:56] {Threei}  and Mr Evans informs us now?
[07:56] {nemo} I use vodka
[07:58] {Threei}  (US) PRESIDENT OBAMA: G20 MUST TAKE ACTION TO STIMULATE GROWTH UNTIL DEMAND PICKS UP; G20 SHOULD PROVIDE AID TO STABILIZE EMERGING NATIONS, INCREASE IMF EMERGENCY FUNDS - GERMAN PRESS
[07:58] {Threei}  - Immediate action coming out of G20 summit in London could be clear way for recovery
[07:58] {Threei}  - Reiterates need to restore credit system
[08:05] {magoo} mornink comrades
[08:06] {Threei}  magoo :)
[08:06] {magoo} hey boss
[08:06] {magoo} faz might be a pre trade here
[08:07] {magoo} if financials want to pullbk today, could go multi points
[08:07] {Threei}  anything might be a trade...
[08:08] {magoo} OY..u starting with me already?
[08:08] {Threei}  question is, what is safe enough and has high enough odds
[08:08] {Threei}  lol... why not
[08:08] {Threei}  need morning warm-up, don't I
[08:09] {Threei}  (US) FED'S EVANS: Q1 GDP GROWTH LOOKS SET FOR SEVERE CONTRACTION; TO RESUME GROWTH BY YEAR-END
[08:09] {Threei}  - Unemployment Rate should begin to improve by year end and in 2010
[08:09] {Threei}  - Inflation expectations are well maintained
[08:11] {Threei}  (US) PIMCO'S MUCULLEY: EXPECTS CDO'S TO BE INVOLVED IN TOXIC ASSET PROCESS
[08:11] {nemo} Mags-do you go for Turkey's also?
[08:15] {Threei}  FED'S EVANS: GEITHNER TOXIC ASSET PLAN IS "VERY WELL DESIGNED"
[08:15] {Threei}  oh good
[08:15] {Threei}  gotta buy me some toxic asset
[08:15] {nemo} So wasn't the Titanic
[08:17] {Threei}  - Says $300B Treasury purchases is "Very Good Amount"
[08:17] {Threei}  - Private interests in troubled assets is positive
[08:19] {cosmo} don't toxic assets need an environmental assessment before they're resold?
[08:21] {Threei}  wyhatever assessment says, they are going to be shoved down the public throat
[08:21] {Threei}  so why bother
[08:22] {Threei}  EXHANGES SEND LETTER TO SEC REGARDING MODIFIED UPTICK RULE
[08:22] {Threei}  {NDAQ NYX}
[08:23] {Threei}  - Propose that under new system, uptick rule would go into effect following a stock decline
[08:23] {Threei}  - Individual borkers would be responsible for compliance with new rule
[08:23] {Threei}  - Short sales would be limited to current best bid
[08:23] {Threei}  borkers eh?
[08:24] {Threei}  FAS started uoticking on that
[08:24] {Threei}  BAC is trying to follow
[08:25] {Threei}  not sure what this means:
[08:25] {Threei}  - Short sales would be limited to current best bid
[08:25] {Threei}  no sales under the bid or what?
[08:26] {nemo} So, this is a BFD?
[08:26] {Threei}  ?
[08:26] {Threei}  who knows
[08:26] {Threei}  we haven't seen full text
[08:27] {cosmo} NRGY public offering anouncement
[08:27] {cosmo} might heal
[08:36] {larisa} good morning :)
[08:36] {ese} good morning....
[08:36] {Threei}  larisa, ese :)
[08:36] {ese} morning vad
[08:37] {ese} Vad....what is the symbol for the Baltic Dry index
[08:37] {fernp} Hello everybody
[08:37] {ese} fern
[08:37] {Threei}  fern :)
[08:37] {Threei}  it's not traded entity ese, there is no symbol
[08:38] {ese} ahhhhh......explains why I couldn't find it
[08:40] {Threei}  ok, this is actually funny:
[08:40] {Threei}  GS PRESIDENT: NOT LIKELY TO RETURN TARP FUNDS BEFORE STRESS TEST
[08:40] {cosmo} it is?
[08:40] {Threei}  I can just hear this childish capricious voice:
[08:40] {Threei}  let's see how you grade us on your test,
[08:41] {Threei}  then I'll think to give you your toys back or keep it
[08:42] {Threei}  of course it is cosmo, if your sense of humor is anything like mine - which is to say, at 11 years old level
[08:42] {cosmo} 12 ...haha
[08:42] {Threei}  - Again reiterates Goldman would not have had any losses from an AIG default
[08:42] {Threei}  ***Reminder: Back on March 23, GS: May sell 15-20% of stake in China bank ICBC in efforts to pay back TARP capital; could raise $1B - WSJ
[08:50] {dino} gm all
[08:50] {Threei}  dino :)
[08:55] {ese} morning dino
[08:59] {VINOD} good morning to all
[08:59] {ese} vin baby!!!!!!
[09:01] {Threei}  vinod :)
[09:03] {Threei}  PLD
[09:03] {Threei}  UPDATES DELEVERAGING EFFORTS; ASIA TRANSACTION PROCEEDS PROVIDE $1.3B OF LIQUIDITY IN Q1
[09:05] {pita} gm all, second try.....
[09:06] {Threei}  pita :)
[09:06] {dino} cracks me up, the assets are no good to banks, but geitrhers plan all hedges will make big money. see the problem w/m2m
[09:07] {dino} estimating 95% value taking out at 50%
[09:07] {Threei}  their reasoning is time factor
[09:07] {dino} yes, but it is wrong
[09:07] {Threei}  as in, market will value those assets higher in a while
[09:07] {Threei}  and banks need their balance sheets corrected now
[09:08] {Threei}  so, they move those assets to entities that can afford waiting
[09:08] {dino} yes, but again, wrong they are worth much more, artificially created crash
[09:09] {dino} m2m change to prior 12/07 change would have saved trillions
[09:09] {ese} something seems out of wack there.....assets are not assets these days
[09:09] {Threei}  at the expnese of some hurt egos? :)
[09:10] {dptl} good morning
[09:10] {ese} dp
[09:11] {Threei}  dp :)
[09:11] {Threei}  TSY SEC GEITHNER: FIXING MARKETS WILL TAKE TIME
[09:11] {Threei}  hmmm
[09:11] {Threei}  I need to ponder that
[09:12] {Threei}  it comes on the heels of earlier gem:
[09:12] {Threei}  [07:56] {Threei} (US) FED'S EVANS: FED WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TIGHTENING POLICY RATES AT A QUICKER PACE IN LATE 2001
[09:12] {Threei}  [07:56] {Threei} really?
[09:12] {Threei}  [07:56] {Threei} in 2001?
[09:12] {Threei}  [07:56] {Threei} and Mr Evans informs us now?
[09:12] {dino} fly in the ointment, quarter end tuesday
[09:12] {vint} good morning all
[09:12] {Threei}  vint :)
[09:13] {dino} wow, '01, we were in a big bear market
[09:14] {ese} ya what kind of comment is that......tightening in 01
[09:14] {Threei}  and hey, it took just 8 years for him to notice?
[09:14] {ese} ????
[09:14] {Threei}  I am telling you... these guys deliver way too much entertainment lately
[09:15] {Threei}  and hurt my ego badly, by beating me to the pulp in competition for the Captain Obvious title
[09:16] {Threei}  CNBC'S FABER: GOLDMAN AND JP MORGAN FIRST QUARTERS ARE SHAPING UP TO BE STRONG
[09:16] {Threei}  - says both want to repay TARP money ASAP but likely to wait for stress tests
[09:16] {Threei}  - thinks GS will likely be forst to repay
[09:16] {Threei}  first or worst?
[09:16] {Threei}  ok, I should be the last one to point out someone's mistypes...
[09:17] {Threei}  although "borkers" in one of headlines today was oo funny to ignore
[09:17] {Threei}  [08:23] {Threei} - Propose that under new system, uptick rule would go into effect following a stock decline
[09:17] {Threei}  [08:23] {Threei} - Individual borkers would be responsible for compliance with new rule
[09:20] {Threei}  so far, market is much mirkier than yesterday's
[09:21] {Threei}  no clear plays at the moment,
[09:21] {Threei}  mostly upward bias for now
[09:21] {Threei}  but will wait for clean indication
[09:21] {Threei}  either deep pullback begging to be bought,
[09:21] {Threei}  or opening range break
[09:22] {Threei}  FAC, BAC
[09:22] {Threei}  FAS, sorry
[09:22] {Threei}  WFC
[09:22] {Threei}  in short, all usual suspects
[09:26] {Threei}  60 cents pullback from yesterday's high is fairly tempting on FAS
[09:28] {nemo} except that it started the day yesterday around 5
[09:29] {tomg} good morning
[09:29] {Threei}  tom :)
[09:29] {Threei}  OK, if first move is buying, I'll skip it
