[10:23] {Threei} look at AIG
[10:23] {fernp} y
[10:23] {Threei} would be a perfect trap on a short side
[10:23] {Threei} that dive was too fast to profit from
[10:23] {fernp} true
[10:23] {Threei} and now break of .70 would have trapped short
[10:24] {dino} stop on gef to .54

[11:57] {ese} usually spike is an indicator of trend completion
[11:58] {Threei} if it comes with sharp vertical price movement
[11:58] {ese} maybe wait for higher low i guess
[11:58] {Threei} that one was in the middle of nowhere, preice stalled

[14:34] {Les} yeh why not
[14:34] {Les} at least no censorship required for that
[14:34] {strider} too late.
[14:34] {Threei} RIMM goes for break
[14:36] {strider} FCX consolidation
[14:36] {Les} mistake forgetting about fcx. I exited short on last low of .25. Don't think to flip long straight after. not natural to me
[14:38] {Les} out CAT for peanuts. will wait to see what SPY does
[14:39] {ilana} real money, Les?
[14:39] {Les} paper trades
[14:40] {Threei} Three US Senators put forward a compromise climate bill that includes support for more nuclear plants, clean coal, and offshore drilling
[14:40] {Threei} no chance
[14:41] {Les} wall st has seen the future. it does not involve alternative energy
[14:43] {Threei} what difference does it make for wall street
[14:43] {Threei} it will tarde whatever there is to trade
[14:43] {Les} the implementation of cap n trade through derivatives.
[14:44] {Threei} if idiots want carbon creits, wall street will trade them
[14:45] {Les} who is leading who?
[14:45] {Threei} we don't know
[14:46] {Threei} but this whole hoopla started long ago
[14:46] {Threei} and it started in Europe
[14:46] {Threei} not here
[14:46] {Les} check out cool looking carbon trading exchange: http://www.bluenext.eu/
[14:46] {Les} yeh I know

[14:50] {Threei} just confirms what I say les
[14:50] {Threei} idiots invent idiotic causes

[15:18] {Threei} no range at all today
