[09:51] {strider} Vad, read on CEPH?
[09:51] {Threei} 55 break worth a try
[09:52] {strider} thx
[09:53] {Threei} die already WFC
[09:54] {Les} water torture to begin the week...
[09:55] {nemo} les...remember how mags and I bitched about rimm on friday...dumb bastards us
[09:55] {Threei} Analysts at Goldman Sachs look at seasonality effects into Dec/Jan; Continue to see Dec as one of the best historical months for equities
[09:55] {Threei} - State that monthly data back to 1974 shows trend of Dec outperformance, the stronger the year, the stronger the Dec
[09:55] {Threei} - Underperforming sectors in Dec tend to be oil/gas, retail, and miners
[09:55] {Threei} - Outperforming sectors in Dec tend to be travel, chemicals, banks and telcom
[09:56] {fernp} numbers in 4min
[09:57] {Threei} WFC doesn't feel like water torture - rather like a stock with high tension, when it resolves - it resolves very fast
[09:57] {Threei} whiever way it choses'
[09:57] {Les} so WFC testing 28 but failing. does this imply that easiest way is still down?
[09:57] {Threei} when it happens during upward market thrust, yes
[09:58] {Threei} inverted salmon behavior
[10:00] {Threei} *OCT EXISTING HOME SALES: 6.1M V 5.7ME
[10:00] {bkhmd} oooops
[10:00] {Threei} (+10.1% m/m)
[10:01] {bkhmd} grabbed my stop and fell back down WFC stinks
[10:01] {Threei} Total Months Supply: 7.0 months(lowest since Jan 2007
[10:01] {Threei} stop? offer never went above .10
[10:02] {bkhmd} i had my stop at .10
[10:02] {bkhmd} should have been .11?
[10:03] {Threei} first, yes.... and second... was it automatic one??
[10:03] {strider} printed at .17
[10:03] {Threei} those were out of bound prints
[10:03] {Threei} sutomatic stops will be tricked by them
[10:03] {Threei} one of reasons I hate hardwired stops
[10:03] {bkhmd} yes it was auto at .10 and filled at .07
[10:04] {Threei} why do you need them?
[10:04] {Threei} you are right here
[10:05] {fernp} now yes. stopped
[10:05] {Threei} yep
[10:05] {bkhmd} u r correct I will try without just scared of fast mover and not getting out in time WFC is not fast move shouldnt have used auto
[10:06] {Threei} sloqwish broker is much bigger problem for this than the choice between auto/manual
[10:08] {strider} como se dice en ingles, "sloqwish".
[10:08] {fernp} lol
[10:08] {bkhmd} shorthand for TradeStation
[10:09] {strider} yo entiendo. gracias. :)
[10:10] {strider} USG takeover chatter
[10:10] {Les} AIG at bottom of cup vad?
[10:11] {Threei} .40 break is a valid setup but it's not C&H
[10:12] {Threei} salreo, admin asked to ask you to check your e-mail please
[10:14] {Threei} SEC Enforcement head: Aiming to focus on derivatives with regards to cracking down on insider trading; focus on trading across all markets (related XLF )
[10:14] {BillyD} is AIG a call Vad,
[10:14] {Threei} no
[10:14] {BillyD} ty
[10:17] {Threei} Long Setup: SYMC .10 break
[10:17] {Threei} if holding above 18
[10:18] {Threei} .05 for extreme scalpers
[10:19] {Threei} slow one
[10:19] {Threei} don't go for it if you want fast resolution
[10:19] {nemo} no wham bam thank you mam stock?
[10:19] {Threei} not likely
[10:20] {nemo} don't do it les
[10:20] {Les} what, do the trade or complement your last comment?
[10:21] {nemo} if you don't like water torture stock
[10:21] {Les} ah. Im in
[10:21] {nemo} hasn't triggered yet dude
[10:22] {Les} yes it has... now
[10:22] {nemo} yep
[10:22] {Les} finding myself always too late. given probability that this continues to go up. I bought .10
[10:26] {ese} out 1/2 fitb .13 +.08 22.5
[10:26] {Les} see BAC trying to make new high. but banks in no hurry to go up today
[10:26] {ese} 22.5k

[10:26] {Threei} wtg
[10:27] {Threei} nothing is in particular hurry so far
[10:27] {ese} tks.....it feels predicable to me again....for now anyway
[10:28] {strider} CEPH consolidating again at 54.5.
[10:28] {Threei} leave it alone strider
[10:28] {Threei} CEPH is a widowmaker today
[10:29] {strider} I'm looking at a retest of major support at 53.50-54
[10:29] {Threei} this battlefield will be strewn with corpese of bottom-fishers today
[10:29] {Threei} corpses
[10:30] {ese} thats a russian term for navy guys who pulled submarine duty isn't it?
[10:30] {ese} widow maker
[10:30] {Les} bac
[10:30] {nemo} goes for a lot of things ese
[10:30] {strider} SEED upgrade
[10:30] {ese} true
[10:30] {nemo} loggers it's deadfall trees leaning against other trees
[10:31] {ese} never heard that for loggers
[10:32] {nemo} yeah, branch breaks, deadfall comes down
[10:33] {ese} would make sense.......heard more about injuries from choke wires when they snap.
[10:33] {BillyD} Q's in 6pt range for last 30 min
[10:34] {Threei} Market Internals update at 10:30amET
[10:34] {Threei} - NYSE volume 220M shares, about 21% below its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 22.6:1.
[10:34] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 455M shares, about 17% below its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 5.1:1.
[10:34] {Threei} - VIX index -3.9% to just under 21.50
[10:34] {Threei} where is magoo... SEED is today's momo
[10:35] {Threei} dino is not here either... internet troubles, or they have their first snow
[10:36] {strider} they don't trade when it snows?
[10:36] {Threei} not if they can't get in the office
[10:36] {Threei} SYMC, don'r run that fast, you may burn your skin and get blisters
[10:38] {BillyD} just looked at SYMC, it blew a tire hitting .14
[10:39] {BillyD} may work though
[10:39] {nemo} looks like indices ight be getting ready to break their ranges
[10:40] {larisa} to upside?
[10:40] {nemo} yeah
[10:41] {Threei} SYMC new high, whole cent higher than old high
[10:41] {Threei} SEED clawing its way toward 9
[10:46] {fernp} AIG extremely slow today
[10:46] {Threei} SYMC, merely 2 cents left to 1:1
[10:46] {Threei} meaning it should happen this century
[10:46] {strider} Vd...always the optimist.
[10:46] {nemo} heavy breather
[10:47] {strider} Vad
[10:47] {Threei} I want to believe
[10:47] {Threei} make your decision guys
[10:47] {Threei} it makes new 52 week highs,
[10:47] {Threei} climbs slowly and confidently
[10:47] {Threei} which bodes well for continuation
[10:48] {Threei} on another hand, this is scalpers market
[10:48] {Threei} so... kind of personal choice
[10:48] {Threei} take scalp or partial and try to milk it
[10:49] {Threei} for hardcore scalpers playing 50K shares (Threei squints at ese), this one is above 1:1 already
[10:49] {Threei} NYMX
[10:49] {Threei} Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation Releases Positive New Clinical Trial Data on Durability of Benefits for Early Responders to Company''s BPH Drug
[10:49] {Threei} - Results were statistically significant (p less than .001) and the data was obtained from all available and eligible patients assessed at up to 19 months post treatment.
[10:50] {Threei} NYMX is a funny stock
[10:50] {Threei} sometimes runs hard
[10:50] {Threei} saometimes fizzles out quickly
[10:51] {Threei} never holds its gains for real
[10:51] {ilana} i missed SYMC .10 entry, where would u suggest to get in?
[10:51] {Threei} don't chase it
[10:51] {Threei} this train's gone
[10:51] {strider} amzn read?
[10:52] {ilana} ok
[10:52] {Threei} if anyone wants to buy Ukraine, now's time:
[10:52] {Threei} (UA) Ukraine Oct Current Account at $87M; Current Account YTD -$1.0B (related USD/UAH )
[10:52] {Threei} SEED UPDATE: Rodman & Renshaw, Inc. Raised SEED to Mkt Outperform from Mkt Perform, price target: $15
[10:52] {Threei} none strider
[10:52] {Threei} 9 is on the nose, SEED
[10:54] {Les} coulda, woulda, wished I. you gonna invite mags to bahamas to give run down on momo?
[10:54] {Threei} there is no rundown to be given
[10:55] {Threei} you need to get enough experience with them to develop a feel for them
[10:55] {Threei} this is not a kind of things that can be put in a set of rules
[10:57] {fernp} ilana, SYMC at .12 now
[10:57] {strider} that was my entry.
[10:57] {Les} PWR going to hell in handbasket
[10:58] {ilana} ok, will keep an eye on it, thx
[11:03] {Threei} you watching SEED les?
[11:05] {Les} yep. most interesting game in town
[11:05] {Threei} make sure you have all three windows up
[11:05] {Threei} chart, level 2, T&S
[11:06] {Les} spread has tightened up
[11:08] {Les} pwr going to make new lows?
[11:08] {Threei} SYMC lost will to live
[11:09] {Threei} most likely, PWR
[11:09] {fernp} SYMC stop is still below 18. isn't it?
[11:09] {Threei} very hard to tell
[11:10] {Threei} it was so close to 1:1 that maybe trailing to under .05 makes sense
[11:11] {fernp} ok
[11:12] {Threei} Short Setup: RMBS 17 break
[11:13] {BillyD} .15 stop and preferably .10 if holds right?
[11:13] {Threei} eqzaktly
[11:16] {fernp} out SYMC
[11:17] {Threei} died quiet peaceful death
[11:18] {Les} seed consolidating?
[11:18] {Threei} why didn't we take RMBS aggressively
[11:18] {Threei} would be covering half here
[11:18] {Threei} consolidating?
[11:18] {Les} b/o
[11:18] {fernp} RMBS stop is .15 or .10?
[11:19] {nemo} you have that huge order at .00
[11:19] {Threei} 30 cents spike in two bars is a spike, not consaolidation
[11:19] {Threei} matter of taste fern
[11:19] {Threei} both are valid
[11:19] {Threei} but if triggers from here not going over .10, it becomes a more solid one
[11:19] {fernp} is RMBS too volatile?
[11:20] {Threei} sometimes... it changes
[11:26] {Threei} 1:1, mind you
[11:26] {strider} missed the crap out of that one.
[11:27] {Threei} the only way to get it was to hit 17 bid as it melted down
[11:27] {fernp} was imposiible
[11:27] {BillyD} out ty Vad
[11:27] {ese} signing off until a bit later...cya
[11:27] {Threei} welcome
[11:27] {Threei} that's what you did Billy?
[11:27] {BillyD} yes Vad, meltdown
[11:27] {Threei} yep, same here
[11:27] {Threei} got probably last shares at 17, lol
[11:28] {BillyD} had order for .98 just in case
[11:28] {Threei} OK, you need to stop this
[11:28] {Threei} reading my mind
[11:28] {Threei} 1:2
[11:29] {BillyD} it hit .90 so fast. I ended up sellin most when I originally thought to partial
[11:29] {BillyD} fast money spikes causes me to take it too quick sometimes
[11:30] {Threei} yes
[11:36] {BillyD} RIMM may be setting up for BDN
[11:38] {Threei} looks like mirroring the market almost exactly
[11:38] {BillyD} it does
[11:40] {bkhmd} did anyone fill @18.11 on symc?
[11:41] {bkhmd} earlier?
[11:43] {fernp} .12 here
[11:43] {ilana} the same here
[11:43] {ilana} sold @ .06
[11:44] {bkhmd} were they limit orders or market orders?
[11:46] {fernp} limit
[11:46] {Threei} guess who is on TV
[11:47] {fernp} norton
[11:47] {nemo} Scarlett Johannson
[11:47] {bkhmd} melissa lee
[11:47] {bkhmd} ?
[11:47] {strider} Donna the Buffalo
[11:47] {nemo} fern?
[11:47] {nemo} Captain Kangaroo
[11:49] {fernp} SYMC is the company who makes norton antivirus
[11:49] {strider} CIEN
[11:51] {bkhmd} SOS
[11:51] {bkhmd} I missed two winning orders
[11:52] {bkhmd} The call for SYMC was break of .10 I put the limit order in for 1000 shares at .11
[11:53] {bkhmd} didnt fill
[11:53] {bkhmd} broker says there were only 2 trades of 100 shares at that price
[11:54] {bkhmd} then again short RMBS break of 17 my order goes in at .98 sits and does not get filled broker again says only two prints at that price
[11:54] {BillyD} BK... .98 may be true
[11:55] {BillyD} only a couple buyers at that level
[11:55] {BillyD} on L2
[11:55] {bkhmd} Billy did u take the trade?
[11:55] {Threei} yeah, on RMBS I think they are right, bids got pulled very quickly
[11:55] {bkhmd} if so where did u fill?
[11:55] {BillyD} yes. 17 fill as it was melting down about halfway
[11:55] {bkhmd} k
[11:55] {bkhmd} plenty of shares at 17
[11:56] {Threei} at 17 was scrolling and breakdown became obvious, bidders just ran away
[11:56] {Threei} at = as
[11:56] {BillyD} yeah Vad, all 3 of them lol
[11:57] {Threei} hehe
[11:57] {Threei} actually more,
[11:57] {bkhmd} but if folks in the room filled at .99 or .98 then i should have filled?
[11:57] {BillyD} reason I like shorts like that
[11:57] {Threei} they pulled everything down to 16.90
[11:58] {BillyD} I doubt may AT ALL got filled at .98-.99 BK
[11:58] {BillyD} many
[11:58] {bkhmd} I understand ur concern with Trade Station.. however if people in the room filled at .99 or .98 I am yelling at my broker on phone why wouldnt have i filled
[11:58] {Threei} probably not on this one
[11:58] {BillyD} right
[11:58] {bkhmd} ok
[11:58] {Threei} but you are wasting your breath yelling at them
[11:59] {fernp} Billy, I think room missed RMBS except Vad and Billiy
[11:59] {fernp} bk
[11:59] {Threei} front end people can't make the system work faster
[11:59] {bkhmd} thanks fern
[11:59] {BillyD} BK, some you will miss and there is nothing you can do buyt just accept it and move on to the next trade
[11:59] {bkhmd} yes I am aware of missing
[11:59] {BillyD} agree Fern
[11:59] {bkhmd} but its too frequent
[11:59] {Threei} it's simply a slower brokerage
[12:00] {Threei} yell all you want, it won't get any faster
[12:00] {bkhmd} ok one more hiccup and im out
[12:00] {ilana} i filled RMBC at 17.01
[12:00] {Threei} then you hit it before actual breakdown
[12:00] {BillyD} wow
[12:00] {ilana} there were plenty
[12:00] {ilana} yup aware
[12:00] {nemo} rimm at r1 after breakdown, could be another bd from .55
[12:01] {bkhmd} ilana was that a market order?
[12:01] {ilana} no limi
[12:01] {BillyD} sheesh, missed RIMM
[12:01] {bkhmd} thanks all
[12:02] {BillyD} cya BK

[12:50] {nemo} garden variety, pre thanksgiving lunchtime scalp
[12:51] {Les} hig short? .40 break .50 stop?
[12:51] {Threei} nah... just random oscillation
[12:51] {Threei} HIG, no
[12:51] {Les} k
[12:51] {Threei} look how it moves between those two limits
[12:52] {Threei} no smooth slide
[12:52] {Threei} jerky jumps up and down
[12:52] {Threei} make it pretty much a guesswork
[12:53] {BillyD} these momos aren't giving us clear entries :(
[12:56] {strider} SEED pushing for hod again
[12:56] {fernp} KEY seems to be strong
[12:57] {fernp} and 6 break could be interesting
[13:01] {Threei} push for 10 is coming SEED
[13:02] {Threei} *TREASURY'S $44B 2-YEAR NOTE AUCTION DRAWS 0.802%; BID-TO-COVER RATIO 3.16 V 3.63 PRIOR AND 2.92 AVE OVER LAST 10 AUCTIONS
[13:02] {Threei} - indirect bidders take 44.5% of competitive bids with 95.8% alotted at the high

[13:05] {nemo} combo momo technical..can't ask for more
[13:05] {Threei} 10
[13:07] {nemo} wathing for bear flag break on rimm
[13:08] {Threei} .14 short?
[13:08] {nemo} yeah or aggressive here
[13:08] {nemo} although lunch and aggressive....eh?
[13:09] {Threei} well, it could be better idea than regular entry counting on follow through
[13:10] {larisa} well, i am regular :) I see it as long from here, scalp only though
[13:10] {nemo} break of .30 would be long
[13:10] {nemo} no?
[13:10] {BillyD} well, I don't know
[13:10] {nemo} neither do we
[13:10] {larisa} lol
[13:10] {Threei} .30... nah
[13:11] {Threei} I'd rather went for somwething here, long or short,
[13:11] {ilana} NUVA b/d?
[13:11] {Threei} and aimed to get out into spike to .30 or drop to .10, lol
[13:11] {larisa} right :)
[13:11] {nemo} definite maybe
[13:11] {Threei} NUVA, no, not here
[13:11] {Threei} this thing can be very volatile
[13:12] {Threei} and it's pretty much random right now
[13:12] {Threei} just not worth the risk
[13:12] {nemo} rmbs froming long break chart
[13:12] {fernp} ACI 22 breakdown, Vad?
[13:13] {Threei} dropped too sharply into it from .10 break
[13:13] {Threei} .10 was much better entry
[13:13] {Threei} see if it consolidates again
[13:13] {fernp} ok. ty
[13:14] {Threei} if it breaks on the go, just skip it
[13:14] {Threei} can turn into trap easily
[13:15] {Threei} but if makes a moves up and down not going over .10 and better yet .05, then 22 break will be a nice setup
[13:15] {Threei} makes a few moves
[13:16] {Threei} looks much better now
[13:17] {fernp} yeah
[13:17] {Threei} couple min of tight consolidation
[13:19] {larisa} this is boring, can i go back to the beach?
[13:19] {Threei} no
[13:19] {Threei} stay and suffer
[13:19] {Les} beaches in canada?
[13:20] {larisa} end of November, Canada? No :)
[13:20] {Threei} shapes up finally
[13:20] {Les} what temperatures in summer where you live vad?
[13:20] {Threei} if not going over .05 now, will be a good short setup
[13:21] {Les} 22 break?
[13:21] {Threei} about 25C
[13:21] {Threei} yes
[13:25] {Les} big buying at 22.

[13:28] {BillyD} fprget it
[13:28] {BillyD} forget

[13:28] {Threei} .06
[13:31] {strider} y;all got any charts..nothing here
[13:32] {Threei} hmm?

[13:35] {ilana} yes
[13:37] {Threei} Short Setup: HIG .40 break
[13:37] {ilana} what this volume spike means on ACI?
[13:38] {ilana} now i know...
[13:38] {Threei} nothing really
[13:38] {Threei} it moves with market at this point
[13:38] {ilana} buying came
[13:38] {Threei} see lille market spike?
[13:39] {Threei} Support for Health Care Plan Falls to New Low
[13:39] {strider} Something rather unnerving.......Got disconnected from Laser....finally quotes & charts came back......then tried to exit a position, and nothing.
[13:39] {strider} I had to reconnect, even though I was getting quotes.
[13:39] {BillyD} that happens sometimes strider
[13:39] {Threei} it means you lost interenet connection,
[13:39] {nemo} yep...happened to me before
[13:40] {Threei} when it happens and quotes get resxtored - executor does not
06[13:40] * nemo slaps lasertrev around a bit with a large stable platform
[13:40] {strider} duh
[13:40] {strider} hah, nemo
[13:40] {Threei} quotes will get restored by themselves but for executor to get reconnected you need to do it manually
[13:40] {lasertrev} whats up?
[13:40] {strider} t'anks...
[13:41] {strider} Just lost connections a bit ago...
[13:41] {nemo} nothing, just routine abuse
[13:41] {fernp} lol
[13:41] {Threei} just wanted to say...
[13:41] {strider} when quotes came back, I thought all was well.
[13:41] {Threei} simply slap him back trev, it's nemo... he is not doing it for any other reason than he just loves slapping people
[13:41] {strider} Was still unconnected , as far as placing/exiting trades.
[13:42] {nemo} for some reason the "they didn't expect, the Spanish inquisition" line goes through my head
[13:42] {lasertrev} anything "executor" means a loss of connection between you and server
[13:43] {strider} I never saw executor screen until I manually reconnected.
[13:43] {lasertrev} trev slaps nemo silly with a frozen salmon
[13:43] {strider} Anyway, I'm holding you responsible...)
[13:43] {strider} :)
[13:43] {strider} It caused me to make an extra .05.
[13:43] {Threei} why wouldn't you
[13:44] {Threei} I for one am holding trev responsible for the amazin tainforest problems
[13:44] {Threei} amazon
[13:44] {Threei} rainforest
[13:44] {Threei} sheesh
[13:44] {strider} Actually, it was Amazon I was in.
[13:44] {Threei} lol
[13:44] {nemo} and global warming....ah...er....climate change
[13:44] {Threei} no, for that I blame Al Gore
[13:44] {lasertrev} lol, as long as your not turning of quote servers again
[13:44] {Threei} but the rest is Trev's fault
[13:45] {strider} ACI moves
[13:45] {nemo} poor trev, didn't know what he was getting into with Dave
[13:45] {lasertrev} :s
[13:45] {Threei} yeah Trev... did good ol' davie actually warn you this is an asylum?
[13:45] {Threei} ACI 1:1
[13:46] {Les} out ty
[13:46] {strider} HIG looking like reversal
[13:46] {fernp} ty
[13:46] {strider} whatcha think vad?
[13:46] {Threei} don't want to go long on it
[13:47] {Threei} to me it looks like take short is sets up, ignore if sets long
[13:47] {Threei} is = if
[13:48] {strider} out 1/2 ACI
[13:48] {fernp} gj
[13:48] {BillyD} thx ACI fern/Vad

[13:52] {nemo} damn bad order execution on pru short
[13:52] {strider} out
[13:53] {fernp} are you still in, Vad?
[13:53] {Threei} no
[13:56] {BillyD} HIG invalidated right
[13:56] {Threei} yes
[13:56] {Threei} watchig for new consoliodation
[13:56] {Threei} although it seems it's the best play between limits
[13:57] {Threei} buying near .40 and shorting near .50 would have worked probably 3 times already, lol
[13:58] {strider} HIG would be a short?
[13:58] {Threei} ummm
[13:59] {Threei} you blacked olut strider? :)
[13:59] {strider} lost my discussion data when I rebooted. Looks long to me.
[13:59] {Threei} [13:46] {strider} whatcha think vad?
[13:59] {Threei} [13:46] {Threei} don't want to go long on it
[13:59] {Threei} [13:47] {Threei} to me it looks like take short is sets up, ignore if sets long
[13:59] {Threei} [13:47] {Threei} is = if
[14:00] {Threei} [13:56] {BillyD} HIG invalidated right
[14:00] {Threei} [13:56] {Threei} yes
[14:00] {Threei} [13:56] {Threei} watchig for new consoliodation
[14:00] {Threei} [13:56] {Threei} although it seems it's the best play between limits
[14:00] {Threei} [13:57] {Threei} buying near .40 and shorting near .50 would have worked probably 3 times already, lol
[14:00] {Threei} dino!
[14:00] {Threei} you OK?
[14:00] {strider} It's Trev's fault.
[14:00] {Threei} everything is
[14:00] {Threei} aside of global warming which is Al Gore's
[14:01] {Threei} ACI 1:4... sheesh
[14:01] {dino} yes, real estate this a.m.
[14:01] {BillyD} yeah, that break of .97 was an indicator but I didn't follow my plan to hold for more....next time
[14:01] {Threei} okay... there was a play about which magoo will howl like coyote when he sees it
[14:02] {strider} Vad, now you know why I have to be a scalper.....that's as long as I can remember.
[14:02] {dino} he's bear hunting
[14:02] {Threei} that's actually a bit too long for me strider
[14:02] {Threei} here are two criteria:
[14:02] {Threei} 1. fish, memory span is 21 seconds
[14:02] {nemo} alright...nobody asked me
[14:03] {nemo} 1/2 out pru short .91
[14:03] {Threei} can grab the same hook with the same worm on it 3 times a minytre, not remembering anything about last time
[14:03] {Threei} 2. moth, memory span is 6 seconds
[14:03] {nemo} tell the moth joke again Dino
[14:03] {Threei} gets burned by lamp, flies away, gets back 10 times a minute
[14:04] {nemo} yeah, and some of us get into relationships repeatedly
[14:04] {dino} what do you have if you have one moth ball here.................................and one moth ball here?
[14:04] {nemo} What Dino?
[14:04] {Threei} larisa... nothing changes eh?
[14:04] {dino} pretty big moth
[14:04] {strider} nemo, that's not memory problems...
[14:04] {Threei} you heard this joke before vacation
[14:04] {nemo} Bwahahahahahahaha
[14:04] {BillyD} is HIG still on now?
[14:04] {Threei} you hear it after
[14:05] {strider} hah
[14:05] {strider} are we gonna take this hig short.?
[14:05] {fernp} are we going to short HIG if breaks .40?
[14:05] {strider} fern:)
[14:05] {Threei} looks valid to me
[14:06] {strider} big stop?
[14:06] {Threei} keep and eye on FAS
[14:06] {fernp} .50 stop?
[14:06] {Threei} for hardcore scalpers .46
[14:06] {Threei} for sane traders .51
[14:07] {bkhmd} which trade HIG or Fas
[14:07] {Threei} HIG... FAS is leading indicator for it
[14:07] {nemo} look at cat just sitting for a fall
[14:11] {Les} 1st minute candle is all that stands between spy and gap fill
[14:11] {fernp} ty
[14:11] {Threei} HIG 1:1 for sane traders
[14:11] {Threei} pesky scalpers have 1:2
[14:12] {BillyD} lol
[14:13] {strider} out +.07
[14:14] {Threei} nice CAT
[14:15] {Threei} you are on the right wavelenght today nemo
[14:15] {nemo} 1/2 out .29
06[14:15] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large roll of cash
[14:15] {BillyD} gj nemo
[14:15] {nemo} playing small though
[14:15] {nemo} today feels strange
[14:15] {BillyD} that's because you are starnge
[14:15] {BillyD} strange to
06[14:15] * Threei shrugs slaps nemo around a bit with a small roll of cash

[14:18] {BillyD} he is out of line again....hard to imagine I know
[14:18] {nemo} stop to .35
[14:18] {Threei} much easier than to imagine him being in line
[14:18] {BillyD} so true
[14:18] {strider} you mean...there's a line?
[14:18] {Threei} never knew sick had that meaning
[14:19] {BillyD} never heard someone say to theor dog: sick em
[14:19] {Threei} can you guys make it easiwer for us foreigners and have just one word for each meaning and one meaning for each word?
[14:19] {BillyD} not that you are a dog or anything
[14:19] {nemo} nah, English doesn't work that way
[14:19] {strider} vad, could you possibly have just one spelling for each word?
[14:19] {dino} lol
[14:19] {nemo} nice one strider
[14:19] {Threei} fair point strider
[14:19] {BillyD} Ok Vad, how is this:

[14:20] {nemo} see BIlly, that's good stuff
[14:20] {strider} I think so, Les
[14:20] {BillyD} smack nemo upside the head
[14:20] {nemo} I don't think speaking latin to a dog is a good idea Les

[14:24] {strider} Vad, AMZN read?
[14:25] {Threei} .80 break short
[14:25] {Threei} no long
[14:25] {Threei} ideally if never goes over .90
[14:26] {strider} would you take it?
[14:26] {nemo} looks like it could be long over .90
[14:26] {Threei} unless I black out between now and trigger
[14:26] {nemo} no volume on this price rise
[14:26] {Threei} no
[14:26] {strider} never mind.
[14:26] {Threei} not going for long on it

[14:35] {Threei} larisa, you better be careful... understanding nemo's train of thought is not a sign of a good mental health, ya know
[14:36] {nemo} being in this room isn't either
[14:36] {Threei} true
[14:36] {Threei} but then again, mental health is not a strick requirement for being profitable
[14:37] {Threei} of which we are living proof
[14:37] {nemo} also true
[14:37] {larisa} this one fits my system perfectly, but i am not looking at things nemo does, so i am safe :)
[14:38] {nemo} Not necessarily...we've never compared notes
[14:45] {Threei} speaking of that setup,
[14:46] {Threei} that's the way you hunt the bottom on hard selling ones in the most safe way
[14:46] {Threei} instead of trying to guess which leg is the last
[14:46] {Threei} and arbitrary buying every new low
[14:46] {nemo} another clue: it basically hit friday's close
[14:48] {larisa} and another clue: it started to uptrend first time since break of 87.
[14:48] {dino} nuva hl l .50
[14:48] {nemo} yeah, broke the downtrend
[14:51] {fernp} LOW if breaks 22...
[14:52] {nemo} long fern?
[14:53] {fernp} could be
[14:53] {fernp} daily looks nice
[14:54] {BillyD} RMBS hangs near low area, maybe short if breaks down
[14:54] {BillyD} slow pace on it right now
[14:56] {nemo} turtle market right now billy
[14:57] {dino} the turtle of amazing girth, upon his back he carries the earth
[14:57] {strider} : Cephalon shares defended at UBS-----I guess this means they're underwater on CEPH?
[15:01] {Threei} I guess
[15:01] {Threei} LOW high
[15:01] {fernp} if KEY breaks 6, could be a good swing trade
[15:02] {fernp} LOW also could be a good swing
[15:02] {fernp} and better intraday :-)
[15:03] {fernp} 22 break, Vad?
[15:03] {fernp} w/stop under .90?
[15:05] {strider} LOW atr: .55
[15:05] {Threei} yup
[15:06] {strider} CENT
[15:06] {strider} thin
[15:06] {nemo} dino stock

[15:27] {Threei} wow
[15:28] {ilana} HIG short?
[15:28] {Threei} no clear setup here
[15:28] {Threei} oscialles bwteen .30 and .45
[15:28] {Threei} oscillates too
[15:30] {fernp} Not my day today. out LOW
[15:31] {Les} yeh, I was in LOW but the lack of volume above 22 told me it was no go. sold it as soon as it dropped.
[15:33] {Les} gonna get gap fill on spy?
[15:33] {nemo} that would be serious
[15:34] {Les} wfc is back to lows
[15:34] {Les} fas new low
[15:34] {dino} nuva stopped
[15:35] {nemo} 15:40 ppt

[15:36] {Les} you expecting the cavalry to arrive?
[15:37] {Threei} way to get the meaning {G}
[15:37] {nemo} yeah...my paranoid delusion
[15:37] {nemo} I love the anarchy of plunges
[15:40] {strider} you shoulda been a plumber.
[15:40] {Threei} lol
[15:41] {dino} what a rinse nuva was
[15:42] {ilana} the maret was
[15:43] {strider} BRCD reporting after close
[15:44] {Threei} (US) President Obama: economy is growing again, only take first step to heal economy - post cabinet meeting reports

[15:46] {Threei} you see a valid setup on it?
[15:46] {strider} CEPH seems to have confirmed support at 54
[15:47] {Les} .75 trigger. hmmm. stop is a little too big...
[15:47] {Threei} .75?
[15:48] {Threei} how do you arrive at that as a short trigger?
[15:49] {Les} it was plunging towards 76.75, but again. no consolidation. no steady movement into trigger. jumps around like a jack rabbit. stupid idea.
[15:50] {Les} .75 would have made new low for fas
[15:50] {Threei} you hot it
[15:50] {Threei} price alone is not an indication
[15:51] {Threei} the way stock arrives at it is important
[15:51] {Threei} hot = got
[15:52] {larisa} got not hot
[15:52] {nemo} Sam I am
