Oct 14 2009

Freeport, Bahamas conference - January 2010
Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading

Careful restrained trading after losing day and starting out with fresh mind worked miracles. 4 calls, 4 wins one of which was HIG 60 cents profit - and room members found quite a few winning trades on their own and shared generously. One losing day difference maketh not.

Session Time: Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 2009

[10:06] {Threei} stop for scalpers under 21

[10:20] {bkhmd} awsome Stride
[10:20] {strider} FWIW, I'm papertrading my own calls today....as penance for my foolishness yesterday.
[10:21] {ese} stalking fslr
[10:21] {Threei} Japan Trade Min: may need to consider carbon tax
[10:21] {Threei} hmmm... idicoy is not contained to any side of the ocean
[10:21] {Threei} idiocy
[10:22] {dino} meanwhile hottest temp. on record occurred in 1998
[10:22] {Threei} yup, and last 10 years we have steady dropping temps
[10:22] {fernp} Vad, I'm long LUV from .71 my 1:1 is here, do you see more uptrend if breaks .76?
[10:23] {Threei} chart is a beauty fern
[10:23] {Threei} question is whether market helps
[10:24] {Threei} if you got enough shares for partial, I'd do that
[10:24] {Threei} and with stop under .70, what's your risk
[10:24] {fernp} im gonna sell 500 here
[10:24] {Threei} daily is too good to let this chance go
[10:24] {nemo} .70 is R1 off the pivot fern
[10:24] {Threei} and if market says not this time, so be it
[10:24] {fernp} thanks
[10:25] {nemo} Mmmmhhhh....Yul Brynner..10 Commandments
[10:25] {strider} ese, FSLR scary

[10:27] {nemo} thought that was magoo
[10:27] {fernp} WAG short wasn't bad idea

[10:27] {fernp} second?
[10:27] {nemo} oh...I saw JNPR at .95
[10:28] {nemo} sorry
06[10:28] * magoo slaps nemo around a bit with a large trout
[10:28] {fernp} true
[10:28] {nemo} mags...you know how psychologically damaging that is...
[10:28] {ese} not show up? not showing up(from last post)
[10:29] {bkhmd} stt double bottom?
[10:29] {Threei} totally market dependent
[10:30] {Threei} and rather looks like breakdown to me
[10:30] {bkhmd} ty
[10:31] {Threei} I'd put it this way:
[10:31] {Threei} worth a short if market goes down, not worth long if market goes up
[10:32] {bkhmd} ty
[10:32] {bkhmd} break of .39?
[10:32] {strider} drys similar
[10:32] {Threei} break of .40
[10:32] {Threei} and be nimble size wise, it's a thin stock
[10:32] {fernp} out LUV 2:1
[10:33] {fernp} ty Vad
[10:33] {Threei} good job fern
[10:33] {bkhmd} gj

[10:33] {Threei} fern is back with vengeance
[10:34] {fernp} no no. I am calm
[10:35] {strider} leap a leaping
[10:36] {bkhmd} nice surge in market
[10:36] {nemo} $ dropping
[10:38] {strider} pwrd still getting it
[10:38] {nemo} aig didn't go with the surge
[10:39] {ese} l fslr .31
[10:40] {fernp} you still in INTC, Vad?
[10:40] {Threei} half
[10:40] {Threei} trailed to under 21
[10:40] {fernp} original entry point here
[10:40] {Threei} want to see if it wants to surprize everyone
[10:41] {fernp} go with you again (half lot)
[10:42] {strider} ese, your stop below 147?
[10:43] {strider} wow
[10:44] {ese} out fslr.03 sm 1k +72

[10:45] {strider} k
[10:45] {bkhmd} Ese SM means Small lot?
[10:45] {ese} yes
[10:45] {bkhmd} thanks bro
[10:46] {Threei} CSIQ Analysts at Credit Suisse comment in name; Remain cautious in name as higher shipment levels not seen boosting earnings levels (timing uncertain) (17.19, -0.35, -2.00%)
[10:46] {ese} your welcome.......got that definition from dino though
[10:46] {Threei} CSIQ is red in the sea of green
[10:47] {Threei} a bit too thin
[10:47] {Threei} but overall, when market gives up it's a good short candidate
[10:47] {dino} raised guidance too
[10:47] {Threei} perfect
[10:47] {nemo} JNJ Vad?
[10:47] {dino} issuing 6 m shares
[10:47] {dino} csiq
[10:48] {Threei} no idea emo
[10:48] {bkhmd} Trades mostly 100 share lots am i reading that correctly?
[10:50] {Threei} I am not sure what the question is bkhmd...
[10:51] {Threei} do you really need us to confirm you know how 1 is different form 2?
[10:51] {nemo} whoa...
[10:51] {Threei} I know nemo does
[10:51] {nemo} remember...he's new
[10:51] {bkhmd} no thanks Vad
[10:51] {Threei} well... consider it's a rite of passage
[10:52] {Threei} oh good... I don't believe I could handle two nemos
[10:54] {strider} driv?
[10:54] {Threei} chart is short on .40 break...
[10:54] {Threei} but heck, it's beaten down so badly
[10:54] {Threei} not sure
[10:54] {strider} you soft-hearted guy
[10:54] {Threei} lol... yeah, that's me
[10:55] {Threei} what I don't like about DRIV here the most
[10:55] {Threei} see how thin it became vs all the hyperactive trading over last couple days?
[10:55] {ese} l fslr .19
[10:56] {Threei} small sizes, no smooth constant stream of prints
[10:56] {Threei} this may result in such sudden move, it's simply a too dangerous stock in uncertain market
[10:56] {bkhmd} thats what i was asking in my previous question Vad lot sizes I had my time and sales set up wrong
[10:57] {ese} out fslr .51 +.32
[10:57] {fernp} really good job, ese
[10:57] {Threei} you can regulate printas to show 100 or 1 etc?
[10:58] {ese} tks
[10:58] {Threei} must be specific to your broker then
[10:58] {bkhmd} yea I figured it out had it set up wrong
[10:58] {Threei} no such option with Laser
[10:58] {Threei} which makes it simpler,less room for wrrors :)
[10:58] {Threei} errors too
[10:58] {strider} you got to watch out for those wrrors..
[10:59] {Threei} I tried
[10:59] {Threei} but there are just too many of them
[10:59] {Threei} so I gave up
[10:59] {ese} fslr....why you little........
[11:00] {bkhmd} lol
[11:01] {Threei} (RU) Putin: premature to adopt sanctions against Iran
[11:01] {nemo} it's only been what....7 8 years
[11:02] {Threei} No point trying to scare Iran with sanction talks
[11:02] {nemo} hurt their feelings
[11:02] {Threei} what doesa he suggest then?
[11:02] {nemo} hah...frickin JNJ
[11:03] {Threei} Long Setup: AIG .60 break if stays above .50
[11:03] {Threei} only for adventurous souls
[11:04] {dino} cetv last try, .00 sm l
[11:05] {Threei} fern... INTC is above 1:1 if you wanted to scalp it
[11:05] {Threei} I'll hold that half
[11:06] {fernp} lol, I was writing this... my 1:1 in INTC is here again, Vad. Can I sell or must stay with you?
[11:06] {Threei} AIG invalidated
[11:06] {Threei} ummm... no such thing as must :)
[11:07] {fernp} I am out TY
[11:07] {Threei} my game plan is:
[11:07] {Threei} risk is minimal for this swecond half at this point, and profit secured by selling first half makes it non-existent,
[11:08] {Threei} and everyone believes market is done going up,
[11:08] {Threei} and INTC is blow-off top here
[11:08] {Threei} so I want to see if market ad INTC fool that "everyone", with no risk to myself
[11:09] {fernp} good point
[11:09] {larisa} risk in minimal, what about reward :)
[11:09] {Threei} reward... well, if INTC goes for surprize run, I'd say 21.40 minimum
[11:15] {fernp} AIG big drop
[11:15] {bkhmd} with huge volume
[11:16] {Threei} no news
[11:16] {Threei} unless AIG insured AutoVaz
[11:17] {Threei} AvtoVAZ Head of State Audit Chamber: Avtovaz on brink of bankruptcy
[11:17] {Threei} **Note: On 10/05, Russian PM Putin said that govt will not let Avtovaz fail (RIA Novosti). Back on 10/3, Putin threatened to reduce Renault's 25% stake in Avtovaz if the French company fails to help fund Russia's biggest carmaker.
[11:19] {Threei} so, out of 3 ways we defined before opening, market picked 4th
[11:19] {Threei} dropped a bit,
[11:19] {Threei} stayed solidly green,
[11:20] {Threei} and remains locked in narrow range
[11:20] {Threei} so it reconciled all three
[11:20] {nemo} speaking of locked range...jnpr
[11:21] {Threei} this is one potentially explosive chart
[11:21] {nemo} which one?
[11:21] {Threei} your JNPR
[11:21] {nemo} oh...
[11:22] {nemo} I'm going to get a cup of coffee, so get ready
[11:22] {patience} .
[11:28] {Threei} hmm
[11:29] {Threei} market moved up, any stock followed??
[11:29] {nemo} hymn
[11:29] {nemo} not really
[11:29] {Threei} none of what I was watching
[11:29] {nemo} iyf did
[11:29] {larisa} CAT only :)
[11:29] {Threei} that one I didn't watch
[11:29] {nemo} looks like a short now
[11:30] {Threei} (RU) Russian Fin Ministry decides not to give Iceland $500M loan
[11:30] {bkhmd} abt news must have been huge
[11:30] {Threei} what for, they are in first three best places to live
[11:31] {Threei} ABT good earnings, good gyuidance
[11:35] {strider} Famous quote of the day: Discomfort and profit go hand in hand.
[11:35] {strider} Who said that?
[11:35] {nemo} Livermore
[11:35] {larisa} like losses give you comfort :)
[11:36] {strider} adjusts himself on his seat of nails
06[11:37] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large book of Techniques of Tape Reading
[11:37] {strider} Actually, Vad said it also. I think Livermore must have got it from him.
[11:37] {strider} :)
[11:37] {nemo} Sorry...I always get you two legends mixed up
[11:38] {larisa} lol
[11:44] {strider} BATS is down, fyi

[11:56] {strider} lvs losing it
[11:56] {strider} it got better though
[11:57] {Threei} reminder to myself: wait for Larisa to mention HIG and buy all you can
[12:00] {Threei} HIG is holding very well, comparing to AIG
[12:00] {Threei} and JNPR is still there
[12:01] {nemo} had that obligatory shakeout to .30
[12:02] {strider} lvs short @ .84?
[12:02] {nemo} lvs
[12:02] {Threei} not sure
[12:02] {Threei} can turn into double bottom easy
[12:03] {nemo} yeah, looks like crescendo/capitualtion buying on that last downspike
[12:03] {strider} ??
[12:03] {strider} introducing new terms here: crescendo
[12:04] {nemo} volume spike on that drop from .95...sorry, thinking of Handel's Water Music

[12:19] {dino} nemo, you say that w/such disapproval
[12:19] {nemo} you infer what I did not imply
[12:20] {dino} :)
[12:23] {Threei} Long Setup: HIG .50
[12:23] {Threei} if stays above .40,
[12:24] {Threei} above .45 for hardcore scalpers
[12:26] {fernp} in
