Aug 312009

Not bad for the Monday and last day of the month: slow but steady 40 cents on VICL, 20 cents on BAC, something decent on AIG, 15 cents stop on half lot attempt to shoret RIMM, then nice momentum play on SVA. All in all, August was a very nice month for us.

[14:49] {dino} out +.30

[14:50] {magoo} 3 pm..move will do or kill

[14:54] {Threei} IMF Chief Economist Blanchard: Central banks reserves have not influenced growth; accumulated FX reserves are not efficient (related USD/CNY EUR/CNY )

[14:57] {Threei} toughie mags

[14:57] {magoo} yea..was just saying to dino.,...trades like donkey now

[14:58] {magoo} in .15 here

[14:58] {Threei} maybe because it's AMEX

[14:58] {magoo} really REALLY thought it was going

[14:58] {Threei} ECNs changed it greatly but still... long tradition of weird moves

[14:58] {magoo} i got 3k too...so, worried

[14:59] {Threei} well... as classic book says, sell down to sleeping level

[14:59] {magoo} yea...might be scalpin soon

[15:00] {Threei} this is going to be interesting:

[15:00] {Threei} Reynolds American Inc File Suit with other tobacco manufacturers Challenging Provisions of FDA Tobacco Act

[15:00] {Threei} - joined other tobacco manufacturers and a tobacco retailer in filing suit today in federal court in Bowling Green, Ky., seeking to protect their First Amendment right to communicate with adult tobacco consumers about their products. The law passed by Congress in June, granting the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory oversight over tobacco products, contains several provisions restricting or banning truthful speech, contrary to the requirements of the First Amendment.

[15:02] {dino} and ironicallt the govt subsides the growers

[15:02] {Threei} yeah

[15:02] {nemo} pays them not to plant

[15:02] {Threei} and makes out like bandit on sin taxes

[15:03] {dino} if you think about it, smokers die youinger, so save on heath care costs

[15:03] {nemo} not unlike oil, when congress whas decrying the "obscene profits" yet collecting a healthy chunk on every domestically produced barrel

[15:03] {dino} mother hen govt

[15:04] {dino} gok drop

[15:06] {nemo} still can't short aig

[15:07] {dino} nor i

[15:07] {dino} thinking about puts

[15:09] {nemo} huh, wfc actually strong today, considering

[15:11] {dino} didn't get expected downgrade from moodys

[15:17] {magoo} SVA certainly not easy vad

[15:17] {Threei} no

[15:17] {Threei} listen... let's play it by the book

[15:17] {Threei} sell 2K here

[15:17] {dino} hl l gok ave .51

[15:18] {Threei} take &200 profit

[15:18] {Threei} keep stop under 9 for the remaining 1K,

[15:18] {Threei} worst comes to worts, you are roughly flat after commissions

[15:18] {Threei} if it works, just let this last K ride

[15:19] {Threei} I underastand the desire to squeeze all possible out of it, but it's not worth $500 risk'

[15:19] {Threei} you had too good month to spoil it on last day

[15:20] {magoo} ok

[15:21] {Threei} finally

[15:22] {magoo} out BIG DOOUGH

[15:22] {brian3579} that 10 call looks good

[15:22] {Threei} I am out here too

[15:22] {magoo} thanx coach

[15:22] {Threei} always

[15:22] {fernp} wonderful SVA. great play

[15:22] {magoo} could have just as easily killed me

[15:23] {Threei} that's what risk control is for...

[15:23] {Threei} leave it to amateurs to go all in and count on making a killing on a single play

[15:23] {Threei} you took it fern?

[15:23] {magoo} let me refraize...could have been stopped

[15:23] {fernp} no

[15:23] {larisa} where did you enter on SVA, I was away?

[15:23] {fernp} too dangerous for me

[15:24] {Threei} magoo at .15 larisa

[15:24] {Threei} I took .35 break

[15:24] {nemo} what was the stop?

[15:24] {magoo} mine was .97

[15:25] {magoo} never lower than .04 i think

[15:25] {magoo} while i was in

[15:25] {magoo} now like 10

[15:25] {Threei} sheesh, not done

[15:25] {nemo} what was your stop vad?

[15:25] {Threei} pace picks up again

[15:25] {dino} igk to .57

[15:25] {Threei} it wasn't going to stop me

[15:26] {Threei} this pace explosion was no breainer

[15:26] {Threei} offered 1K at .48, 1 at .55 and 1 at .69

[15:27] {dino} out ave .55, +.10

[15:27] {Threei} and if it did urn around stop would be defined in terms of p;rice level

[15:27] {Threei} I bought on momentum,. not on technicals

[15:28] {Threei} so momentum reversal would stop me out

[15:28] {magoo} vad...this momo has been like ole days for us

[15:28] {magoo} thats why iom doing well

[15:28] {Threei} second half of august, no less

[15:28] {magoo} i need the momo

[15:28] {Threei} of all trading months, lol

[15:29] {dino} you should change your nick to mogoo

[15:29] {nemo} Trade what you see, not what you think...

[15:29] {magoo} agree nemo..

[15:29] {magoo} with a dash of "feel" and a smidge of luck

[15:30] {magoo} that could easily see 11 today

[15:32] {Threei} inhales... exhales...

[15:32] {magoo} to resume its trek upward

[15:32] {Threei} massages muscles

[15:34] {magoo} here we go

[15:34] {Threei} what's the bet??? :)

[15:34] {magoo} a drink in vegas

[15:34] {dino} ok

[15:35] {Threei} 5 cents left... come on SVA

[15:35] {magoo} i went to reliable sourse...yahoo message board say it will be 20 by friday lol

[15:36] {Threei} I feel humbled by the welath of knowledge, mags

06[15:37] * Threei kicks SVA in the rear end

[15:37] {larisa} technicals show no 10.. of course there is always stupid momo :)

[15:38] {magoo} but the message boards larisa...they dont lie

[15:38] {larisa} thats true :)

[15:38] {Threei} you underestimate the stupidity of three factors put together:

[15:39] {Threei} me, magoo and momo

[15:39] {magoo} um..momo is my thing'

[15:39] {Threei} these 3M and capable of outstupiding anything you can think of

[15:39] {magoo} my best momo trade ever vad...remember? years ago

[15:39] {Threei} and = are

[15:39] {Threei} hmmm... remind me

[15:40] {magoo} bidu ipo...it went to like 160

[15:40] {Threei} I remember losses well... wins, not so much

[15:40] {Threei} oh yeah

[15:40] {magoo} 20k

[15:40] {Threei} that was beyond stupid {G}

[15:40] {magoo} and i was there:)

[15:40] {Threei} and I was with you

[15:40] {larisa} wow, really?

[15:41] {magoo} yup..screaming all thge way lol

[15:41] {Threei} yeah... magoo traded, what's the word... "stupidly"?

[15:41] {magoo} hell larisa, did 12k on AIG onee ttade

[15:41] {magoo} last week

[15:41] {larisa} :)

[15:41] {magoo} momo..is why

[15:42] {larisa} 33.80 vads call i didi not take AIG :)

[15:42] {Threei} I am happy when it's around... 'cause when it goes away, magoo starts nagging me for a trade :)

[15:42] {magoo} but, ive gotten pummeled too...it aint easy

[15:43] {Threei} 33.80 was safe call, I don't know why you skipped it back then larisa

[15:43] {Threei} nice tight stop

[15:43] {larisa} your way is too emotional magoo, I want to stay sane so my husband do not kick me out :)

[15:43] {larisa} AIG is just too wild fo rme

[15:43] {Threei} yes, for the most part

[15:43] {Threei} but sometimes it tightents

[15:43] {Threei} and gives normal setup

[15:44] {Threei} so you have best of both world

[15:44] {Threei} normal stop,

[15:44] {Threei} but if it works - momentum and its wild nature make a win real big

[15:44] {larisa} :)

[15:44] {larisa} real big is for men

[15:45] {larisa} I am just a girl :)

[15:46] {Threei} so, the only stop today is that 15 cents on half lot RIMM

[15:46] {magoo} but actually...what ive learned...is just let the winner win...with AIG, it momo up...never stopped us, and instead of scalp, let it run run run 4 points

[15:46] {Threei} and it's the only short

[15:46] {magoo} my second best day of year vad..thank u

[15:47] {Threei} good to hear :)

[15:47] {nemo} must be your best month

[15:47] {magoo} and i want more tomorrow u can bet:)

[15:47] {brian3579} thats why im back cant let winners win

[09:08] {Threei} yup

[09:08] {magoo} u think its got a run to 55 in it?just from your experience

[09:09] {Threei} it all depends on whether squeeze is still in full bloom or it's a last drops being mined out

[09:09] {Threei} if squeeze is not over, 60 is just as likely

[09:10] {Threei} if it's a last gasps, shaking out last bears... can just reverse and go down with very few bounces

[09:10] {cosmo} gee...time to retire...last day here after all these years...

[09:21] {Threei} which is a surefire recipe for disaster

[09:21] {magoo} nemo. u forgot most importasnt ..for a profit

[09:22] {nemo} buy low sell high

[09:22] {nemo} Pride cometh before the fall...

[09:22] {Threei} first thing to do upon open is wait for sharp pullback,

[09:22] {Threei} that was market's trademark lately

[09:23] {Threei} and provided us with nice entries, like yesterday's first trade on HIG

[11:35] {magoo} i was disappointed in my reation time..2 mins unacceptable :)

[11:36] {magoo} so glad i am not in AIG

[11:36] {magoo} i am fat..flat.. and looking at the gap

[11:36] {Threei} yup

[11:40] {magoo} no clue where it could bounce..up so much

[11:42] {Threei} retest of 51.50 from here

[11:42] {Threei} and if holding, bounce starts

[11:42] {Threei} big one

[11:42] {Threei} take it keep stip under .50 mags

[11:44] {magoo} or in a cvoma..your choice

[11:44] {Threei} and I risked missing it to type it in time for you

[11:45] {dino} tif sm s .70, stop .01

[11:45] {Threei} nah, just 25 cents

[11:45] {Threei} and -13 on the balance

[11:45] {magoo} C pummel

[11:45] {Threei} so all in all washout

[11:46] {Threei} but risk was small enough to try

[11:46] {magoo} no..it was good

[11:47] {magoo} lesson for room vad here...on stops..point out this because we been pushuing momo of late

[11:47] {Threei} momo or not... stop is stop

[11:48] {magoo} im trying to show down side of these type so newer traders dont get crushed

[11:48] {nemo} 50.50 was the low of yesterday, bounced

[11:48] {Threei} it's not for discussion, it's not for thinking, it's not for second guessing

[11:48] {Threei} it's for taking

[11:49] {dino} vad, the machine

[11:49] {nemo} Yep, I might have problems taking trades, but I got no problem taking stops

[11:49] {magoo} if it loses 50..UGH

[11:49] {Threei} then I have just an idea nemo

[11:49] {Threei} how about you take some of mine

[11:50] {nemo} stops...I never don't take them, slippage some times but that's it

[11:50] {Threei} AIG momo is just as good on the downside...

[11:50] {Threei} too bad we don't have inventory for it

[11:50] {Threei} would be thing of beauty to make money off it on both sides

[11:51] {magoo} was just thinkoing that

[11:51] {Threei} 'cause you know... it will take just one more idiot on CNBC giving it $500 target for it to drop 20 bucks more

[11:51] {nemo} other financials, except for GS falling

[11:52] {nemo} mmmmhhhhh fas and aig look alot alike

[11:54] {Threei} nice setup wulff

[11:54] {nemo} I understand, but we can't make money on the downside of aig

The day started nicely with 40 cents HIG long trade off a pullback, continued with AIG and IMMUlong trades, and then it was all about AIG. August ends with a great run so far.

Session Time: Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 2009

[08:05] {Threei} Wednesday, August 26, 2009 8:43:34 PM

[08:05] {Threei} FT comments on the recent gains in shares of AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

[08:05] {Threei} - AIG has risen by 150% since Aug 3, and shares of Fannie and Freddie have both gained about 250%.

[08:05] {Threei} - A combination of rumors, momentum and the low cost of the shares have all contributed to the moves in the shares.

[08:05] {Threei} - The gains in shares of Fannie and Freddie have been partially driven by the recent stabilization of the US housing market and speculation that the US government would extend its tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

[08:05] {Threei} - Trading has also been driven by a recent widely read analysis of Fannie and Freddie's long-term earnings potential by John Hempton, portfolio manager at Bronte Capital.

[08:05] {Threei} - A short squeeze may also be partially responsible for the share price gains.

[08:06] {Threei} (US) Reportedly, the Fed is seeking to delay disclosing its emergency lending data

[08:06] {Threei} - On Aug 24, a Manhattan judge ruled that the Fed had until Aug 31 to disclose its daily reports on borrowing by banks and other financial firms.

[08:06] {Threei} Fed's lacker: Housing and autos are no longer drag on GDP

[08:30] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 570K V 565KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 6.133M V 6.242ME

[08:30] {Threei} - Prior jobless claims revised from 576K to K

[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims revised from 6.241M to ...more... (related SHY SPY EUR/USD USD/JPY USO IYM RTH )

[08:30] {Threei} *Q2 PRELIMINARY GDP ANNUALIZED: -1.0% V -1.5%E; PERSONAL CONSUMPTION: -1.0% V -1.3%E

[13:21] {larisa} yes

[13:22] {nemo} sensitive, isn't he...

[13:22] {Threei} that's me

[13:22] {Threei} just wanted to offer the way 48.20 became a short level

[13:22] {Threei} any guesses?

[13:22] {larisa} i was looking at it, i want to know :)

[13:23] {Threei} inquiring mind...

[13:23] {Threei} unlike nemo's

[13:23] {nemo} old support becomes new resistance?

[13:23] {larisa} what time entry ?

[13:23] {Threei} [12:55] {Threei} just tried 48.20

[13:23] {brian3579} my guess same as nemo

[13:23] {Threei} it is, as far as entry on bounce goes,

[13:24] {nemo} poor brian...he doesn't know about me

[13:24] {Threei} but before that there was a bigger picture:

[13:24] {Threei} yeah brian, before I continue, keep in mind:

[13:24] {Threei} having same thoughts as nemo is a very bothersome sign

[13:24] {brian3579} haha

[13:24] {Threei} in that big picture we have:

[13:24] {nemo} jump now

[13:25] {Threei} double top at 50 (beautiful call by wqullf),

[13:25] {brian3579} light volume on move back too 48.20

[13:25] {Threei} 48 area is a bottom between two tops,,

[13:25] {brian3579} i see

[13:25] {brian3579} thats why im back not the jokes

[13:25] {Threei} retested at 12:05 - 12:10,

[13:25] {Threei} lower high,

[13:26] {Threei} slow slide into 48.20,

[13:26] {Threei} little consolidation,

[13:26] {Threei} the breakdown and sharp drop.

[13:26] {Threei} Volume spike on hat drop,

[13:27] {Threei} then bounce into former support, now resistance (nemo and brian's idea, bery very afraid of the company brian)

[13:27] {Threei} volume drying up on the bounce,

[13:27] {Threei} and that's that.

[13:27] {Threei} Break charts by elements, identify all these simple patterns,

[13:28] {Threei} you get your play structured and served on a dish with blue rim

[13:28] {larisa} so at what point you know that momo is gone and technicals are back? :)

[13:28] {Threei} CNBC guest

[13:28] {larisa} lol

[13:28] {Threei} :)

[13:28] {nemo} I just can't watch

[13:28] {Threei} seriously... assigning insnae targets to a stock that went through such run, and stock drops after that

[13:29] {Threei} what else do you need to call a top, lol

[13:29] {nemo} dead chicken

[13:29] {nemo} coupla diagrams

[13:29] {nemo} Ouija board

[13:30] {nemo} magic words

[13:38] {Threei} [13:25] {brian3579} thats why im back not the jokes

[13:38] {Threei} now, we all know that is not true

[13:39] {brian3579} haha

[13:54] {Threei} DRYS Dry bulk shipping stocks moving higher in last 30 minutes

[13:54] {Threei} - the strength may be attributable to China Cosco, Asia's largest shipping firm by market value... (6.26, +0.57, 10.02%) more... (related EGLE DSX 1919.HK )

[13:55] {Threei} stating in its earnings release this morning that it would consider cancelling or postponing new container ship orders (thus easing concerns about a container ship glut).

[15:24] {magoo} i had to deal with mr. popst :)

[15:25] {magoo} if u know what i mean

[15:27] {Threei} I am afraid to think

[15:27] {magoo} then dont think..thats what your best at lol

[15:28] {Threei} lol, true

[15:29] {magoo} careful AIG

[15:29] {magoo} watch out below

[15:29] {Threei} 50 remained unbroken

[15:29] {Threei} not good for continuation

[15:29] {Threei} very mucxh looks like blow-off top so far

[15:29] {magoo} will or could be great launch pad at another date boss

[15:30] {magoo} just like 35 was this time

[15:30] {Threei} will need tomorrow as confirmation

[15:30] {Threei} this CNBC guest is what makes me think, top is more likely

[15:31] {Threei} if we had 5 of them bashing AIG

[15:31] {Threei} yet it would proceed higher

[15:31] {Threei} I would sy buy and hold for aniother 20 points

[15:31] {Threei} but having hype with insane tragets and drop after that...

[15:34] {magoo} are u thinkuing top AIG or u calling top like all the other 85% of the clowns ouit there

[15:34] {nemo} whoa

[15:35] {Threei} well... while clowns called top I was saying up,

[15:35] {dino} what about other 15% clowns?

[15:36] {nemo} statistical outliers?

[15:36] {dino} thats why you pay me to be here

[15:37] {Threei} let me put it this way mags

[15:37] {Threei} my general motto is, trend continues until it's obviously borken, and I don't like goling against it, no matter how high or low price seems to be,

[15:37] {Threei} there is always room for higher, and almost always for lower.

[15:38] {dino} would you like me to throw something at him?

[15:38] {Threei} always dino, thank you

[15:38] {dino} lol

[15:38] {Threei} But in this case AIG is more likely to be done than not,

[15:38] {dino} brian got out of aes way too soon

[15:38] {dino} aef

[15:38] {Threei} and if yesterday or today I was very easy to convince that it was going higher

[15:38] {magoo} i just was wonderuiing if you are tented up with clowns calling for major pllbk here..or the other clowns long

[15:38] {Threei} it would have to work much harder to convince me tomorrow

[15:39] {Threei} dino... make sure it's very heavy and has sharp edges

[15:39] {dino} just threw a stress ball at him
