Feb 01 2010

Decent day with a few scalps and couple bigger trades. One that got away because we refused to chase an entry was LVS that we missed at 16.05, only to see it proceeding to over 17 not giving another chance for entry.

[13:14] {Threei} (US) White House Press Secretary Gibbs: jobs are now priority over deficit in the short term
[13:14] {Threei} now?
[13:14] {Threei} they weren't priority 6 months ago? or we got deficit under control so we can focus on jobs?
[13:14] {nemo} yeah, so they'll put the grandkids in more debt to pay for makework today
[13:15] {Threei} GLD
[13:15] {Les} yeh i think the smarter pundits understood the baloney headlines: Obama can't fix deficit and jobs at same time
[13:15] {Threei} pulling back into 108 support
[13:16] {Threei} - Chinese sanctions threat against US companies involved in the arms sales in Taiwan are not warranted
[13:16] {Threei} *** Reminder: On 01/29 Obama administration would notify the congress of proposed $6B sales of arms to Taiwan which would include helicopters and missile defense technology. On 01/30 it was reported that China would consider imposing sanctions on US firms that partake in arms sales to Taiwan
[13:18] {Threei} Long Setup: GLD .15 break
[13:18] {Threei} stop under 108
[13:20] {Threei} US) NY Atty General Cuomo scheduled to announce a domestic agreement on banking fees at approx 14:00ET
[13:20] {Threei} GE Exec: Seeking acquisitions in the smart grid segment; transmission division could seek to increase R&D spending (related ITRI GRID ACPW CPST FCEL PLUG BGC CHP CNP TLVT AIRN BCON )
[13:21] {Threei} (CH) IMF's Blanchard: China must raise domestic consumption
[13:22] {Threei} what a weird directive
[13:22] {nemo} yeah
[13:22] {Threei} "you guys start eating more!"
[13:22] {nemo} no, that would make food more expensive
[13:23] {Threei} ok... watch more TV?
[13:23] {nemo} o.k.
[13:23] {nemo} but that will make tv's more expensive
[13:23] {Threei} -China should allow for the CNY to appreciate and slow down external demand
[13:23] {nemo} whatever they consume does nothing for us
[13:24] {Threei} let's start tightening GLD
[13:24] {Threei} stop to .05
[13:24] {Threei} under .10 now
[13:25] {Threei} offer 1/2 at 1:1
[13:25] {Threei} scalpers just get out
[13:27] {Threei} offer seond half above .40
[13:28] {Les} ERJ 1:1
[13:28] {Threei} trail stop to under b/e only after .30 break and spike
[13:29] {Threei} yeah, took its sweet time
[13:29] {Threei} but finally worked
[13:34] {strider} Gone for awhile....might be back before the close. See ya.
[13:34] {nemo} wfc is gradually losing altitude down to support...look at 5 minute chart
[13:36] {nemo} you like x short vad?
[13:36] {nemo} .89 stop .97?
[13:36] {Threei} stop above 47
[13:36] {nemo} I figure the bb 13 period average
[13:37] {nemo} if it holds above that, not weak enough
[13:37] {Threei} yeah but it's a very weird place stop
[13:37] {nemo} who you talking too?
[13:37] {Threei} with 47 being so cvlose, no one will pay attention to .97 as having any importance
[13:37] {nemo} o.k., nobody takes me seriously
[13:38] {Les} SLW might fall through 50 ma support. .80 b/d with .90 stop?
[13:39] {Threei} late
[13:39] {Threei} but it's worth waiting for a bounce anyway
[13:39] {nemo} come on give me 1:1
[13:39] {Les} ok
[13:39] {Threei} nemo, see how .97 didn't hold but 47 did?
[13:39] {nemo} ype
[13:40] {nemo} yes, ty
[13:40] {Threei} formally, you are right,
[13:40] {nemo} market should listen to me though
[13:40] {Threei} that BB did create a resistance,
[13:40] {Threei} but when it's so close to even numbers
[13:40] {nemo} somewhere else it might be valid then
[13:40] {Threei} noone considers it real resistance
[13:41] {Threei} yes, look at it this way:
[13:41] {Threei} it's a bit of a jumpy stock anyway,
[13:41] {Threei} so you can't be this precise on it,
[13:41] {Threei} 2-3 cents pon it is kind of given slippage
[13:41] {Threei} now, even numbers create kind of reinforcement when they coincide with this kind of supoport or resistance
[13:42] {Threei} dictated by BBs
[13:42] {Threei} and when they are just 2-3 cents away, they will usually take prevalence
[13:42] {nemo} yes, so price level and bb create stronger support/resistance
[13:42] {Threei} simply because they are easier to perceive
[13:43] {Threei} BB or any other indicator, after all, does notthing but reflecvts certain patterns of perception
[13:43] {Threei} and it's much easier for us to pereceive 47 as resistance than 46.97
[13:44] {nemo} .90 creating quite the resistance I guess that period form 1 to 1:18 helps too
[13:44] {nemo} oh now we have an H&S
[13:45] {nemo} only .01 from 1:2 should I move the stop to .80
[13:46] {Les} wfc .76 b/d?
[13:47] {nemo} 1:2
[13:47] {nemo} sop is now .80
[13:47] {nemo} or,out
[13:47] {nemo} bastid
[13:47] {nemo} I'm probably going to regret not making the stop the BB ma
[13:51] {nemo} well, I guess I don't regret it
[13:55] {Threei} amazingly, GM still has the most market share in US
[13:55] {Threei} 19.8% vs Toyota 17+
[13:57] {Threei} ese, look dcc please
[13:57] {Les} s wfc .74
[14:02] {ese} gone for day....see ya tomorrow
[14:03] {i2romantis} take care ese
[14:03] {fernp} bye ese
[14:03] {Les} ciao
[14:06] {Threei} OPTT intrigues me
[14:09] {Les} nice breakout triangle forming on OPTT
[14:10] {Threei} look at daily also
[14:10] {Les} hmm support area
[14:11] {nemo} x is playing around support 200 ma and pivot support in the .60-.65 area
[14:13] {Les} wfc approaching lod b/d
[14:13] {Les} half out .58
[14:14] {i2romantis} gj les
[14:14] {Les} ta
[14:17] {Les} all out .60. FAS bounce time. I've the impression that market is being moved by financials...
[14:18] {nemo} or natural bounce from oversold
[14:18] {Threei} I'd say finnies and commodities
[14:18] {Les} yeh. I've screwed up BRK.B so I'll take the cash
[14:20] {nemo} amzn at vwap, breaks through on volume will probably go a bit, other wise, fading here might be good
[14:22] {Threei} OPTT honetly trying
[14:27] {Les} BAC might be good for a type 1 if FAS resumes downtrend. WFC needs consolidatoin
[14:34] {Threei} Market Internals update at 2:00pmET
[14:34] {Threei} - NYSE volume 560M shares, about 11% below its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 3.7:1.
[14:34] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 1.46B shares, about 9% above its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 1.6:1.
[14:34] {Threei} - VIX index -7% to just under 23.00
[14:47] {dino} .
[14:48] {Threei} volume is about half of Friday's on SPY
[14:48] {nemo} low volume rally...not especially healthy
[14:48] {Threei} no
[14:49] {dino} snda out .95, +.45 all dayer
[14:49] {nemo} if we get "long covering" into the close, that will confirm
[14:49] {dino} only thing is nemo, that has been the pattern since spring
[14:49] {nemo} what?
[14:50] {dino} low vol. rally
[14:51] {fernp} gotta go. good day here. one stop and six 1:1 ty Vad for your patience with me :-)
[14:51] {dino} cya
[14:51] {Threei} take care fern, good job
[14:51] {fernp} good evening everybody. see you all tomorrow
[14:51] {nemo} not sure about that Dino...volumes were much bigger when everyone thought it was the end of the world, so I'm not sure that period isn't an anomoly
[14:51] {Threei} npot sure how my patience comes in play
[14:51] {Threei} but why not
[14:57] {nemo} fcx 3rd attempt at HOD
[14:57] {Threei} and a little C&H
[14:58] {nemo} not liking T&S though
[14:58] {Threei} why?
[14:58] {Threei} very fine T&S
[14:58] {Threei} green, red
[14:59] {nemo} I look away, silly me....I saw the orders all of a sudden come in at .15
[14:59] {Threei} almost no white
[14:59] {nemo} then you had a bunch at .14 but they dropped
[14:59] {nemo} somebody's playing games
[14:59] {Threei} I don't think you can get any meaningful information from T&S on FCX
[14:59] {nemo} well
[15:01] {nemo} I saw thousands of orders come in at .15
[15:02] {nemo} they dropped and the stock popped
[15:02] {nemo} then I saw 1000s come in at .14
[15:02] {nemo} they dropped without the buying
[15:02] {nemo} there was some gamesmanship right there...I don't understand it completely, but I saw it
[15:03] {nemo} then again, my perception can be a co-conspirator in deception :)
[15:16] {Threei} ok, let's see if we get selloff on the last hour
[15:17] {Threei} Short Setup: GLD .25 break if stays under .35
[15:18] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .70
[15:18] {Threei} if stays under .85
[15:18] {nemo} when gold invalidated fcx invalidated
[15:18] {Threei} both are kind of "keep an eye on if invalidated by just little"
[15:18] {nemo} shoulda' actually gone long on the lead
[15:26] {Threei} spike
[15:26] {Threei} no selloff
[15:27] {nemo} figures, just the opposite of what we were looking for
[15:32] {patience} i'm thinking it is an 'up' week
[15:32] {nemo} Well, at least relief from oversold last week
[15:32] {nemo} Of course, with that budget Obama just sent up, we're talking QEII coming
[15:33] {larisa} lol, just saw that, vad thinks burger flippers make $25 per hour in US :)
[15:33] {nemo} minimum wage
[15:34] {larisa} right
[15:34] {Threei} do I?
[15:34] {larisa} you do :) just saw your comment at 12
[15:34] {nemo} yeah you were talking about taking your $25 profit on a stock
[15:34] {nemo} then Les said that's what it used to take him an hour of work to make
[15:34] {Threei} I meant for the day
[15:34] {larisa} oh
[15:34] {nemo} then you made a flippant comment about burger flippers
[15:36] {Threei} burger flippers shouldn't take it personal - I simply make flippant comments, and whoever happen to pass by at the moment finds himself on the other end of it
[15:36] {Les} egg on their face...
06[15:37] * strider slaps Threei around a bit with a large Big Mac
[15:37] {Les} hmmm bacon double cheese burger...
[15:37] {larisa} I started my engineering career in US with 26 per hour. Was happy with that :)
[15:37] {dino} burger on the face
[15:38] {Threei} fairly decent wage in Canada
[15:38] {Threei} wat, is it tpoo low for US?
[15:39] {larisa} it is on low end of professional career
[15:40] {larisa} LVS does not stop
[15:42] {dino} leap
[15:42] {Threei} can't believe we got 16.05 entry invalidated on LVS
[15:44] {larisa} AMZN bounced $5 of bottom. wild today
[15:44] {nemo} candidate for overnight lvs finishing near high?
[15:44] {Threei} nah
[15:44] {dino} sm s leap .74
[15:44] {nemo} why not?
[15:45] {Threei} what is it about the markert or this name that makes you think we get a gap tomorrow?
[15:45] {Threei} there is no late day news not digested by market yet,
[15:45] {nemo} finishing near the high on volume, so far
[15:46] {Threei} no 52 week highs that would hit a lot of eod scannerrs
[15:46] {nemo} market was way oversold, and probably is still oversold
[15:46] {Threei} the rest is 50/50
[15:46] {Threei} yes
[15:46] {Threei} how do you tell 1 day bounce from trend reversal that sustains for a few days?
[15:47] {nemo} I'll take that as rhetorical...proceed please
[15:47] {Threei} no, that's actual point of decision making
[15:47] {Threei} we have no indocation of either
[15:48] {Threei} thus counting on gap is a coin toss
[15:48] {Threei} 50/50
[15:48] {nemo} o.k.
[15:48] {Threei} what I want to see for a gap is something that will sure attract atention of the crowd coming home from dat job,
[15:48] {Threei} seeing something they want to own next morning
[15:49] {Threei} and submitting their "buy on open" orders
[15:49] {nemo} didn't wynn report revenues way up?
[15:49] {nemo} [09:13] {&Threei} WYNN Reportedly Jan Macau casino revenue +63.3% y/y - Portuguese media (related LVS MPEL MGM )
[15:50] {Threei} early morning news
[15:50] {Threei} [15:45] {Threei} there is no late day news not digested by market yet,
[15:50] {Threei} [15:45] {nemo} finishing near the high on volume, so far
[15:53] {nemo} like that
[15:57] {Les} ok. nighty night
