Mar 17 2010

Interesting day, with a few stops and a lot more wins. What made it different is a big variety of plays: longs and shorts, small scalps and bigger plays, badly beaten cheapies like FUQI and expensive high-fliers like POT. All in all, fun and profit.

[12:30] {Threei} finally I reached nemo's mastery
[12:30] {nemo} ?
[12:30] {Threei} and became rude
[12:30] {Threei} thank you Les
[12:30] {strider} stopped .15, +.11
[12:30] {Les} yeh but Nemo has finesse
[12:30] {Threei} well, I am still practicing
[12:30] {Threei} but I am getting better
[12:30] {Les} he's like tarantino and violence
[12:31] {Les} it's slick, sophisticated. he's clearly been tutored in rudeness
[12:31] {Threei} see, I am trying to learn from the best
[12:31] {jfjf64} cover all .11 ty sensi
[12:31] {Threei} welcome sir
[12:31] {nemo} wow...I think it's a compliment
[12:32] {Threei} it sure is
[12:32] {Threei} being good at being bad - it's an art
[12:36] {jfjf64} .25 which was res before now support .10 break short looks goood to jf
[12:36] {dino} wow cagc
[12:36] {jfjf64} agree
[12:38] {Les} fuqi trying to go over 50 ma at .10
[12:40] {jfjf64} look pot filled gap
[12:55] {dino} rino gap fill
[12:57] {Les} long fuqi .12. stop 12
[13:00] {nemo} nice Les (that hurt:()
[13:00] {Les} won't hurt ya to be nice from time to time
[13:01] {Threei} good play
[13:01] {nemo} I save that for animals
[13:01] {nemo} Mmmmhhh...I guess you qualify then, Les
[13:01] {Threei} nah Les... he loses lustre
[13:02] {Les} seeing if 200 ma at .19 holds
[13:02] {Les} as support
[13:02] {Threei} you didn't exit any into that spike?
[13:02] {Les} no, 400 shares, want decent run
[13:03] {nemo} mmmhhh...first he fades Dino's trades, now he goes Magoo
[13:03] {Les} 1k and out at .25 would have been good hand to play.
[13:07] {Threei} look at SRS chart from 11/21/2008 to now
[13:07] {Threei} this is not something you see every lifetime
[13:09] {Les} we should be short and hold ultraETF's
[13:10] {Threei} well, we also should have bought everything possible one year ago
[13:10] {Les} once in our lifetime
[13:10] {Threei} nope
[13:10] {nemo} bought long dated calls on tck
[13:10] {Les} fingers crossed not
[13:10] {Threei} I heard the same in 1998-2000
[13:11] {Les} I bought TCK $3
[13:11] {Threei} and just decade later, I hear it again
[13:11] {Les} sold $3.50
[13:11] {Les} was proud o fmyself.
[13:11] {Les} &%ç**""*!
[13:11] {Threei} shrug
[13:12] {Les} oui oui
[13:12] {Les} c'est la vie
[13:12] {Threei} when you get access to time machine to get a WSJ issued one year later, you will be in position to take advantage of this kind of moves
[13:12] {nemo} firme le bouche
[13:12] {Les} tais toi
[13:12] {nemo} manga la....nevermind
[13:13] {Les} ta gueule
[13:13] {Threei} a year ago TCK for all you knew could just go bankrupt
[13:13] {RonS} french less, think more
[13:13] {Threei} tempus however fugit, don't they
[13:14] {Les} et c'est "ferme ta bouce"
[13:14] {Les} bouche
[13:14] {RonS} tck...cara had it covered...
[13:14] {nemo} ahhhh Ron Sen
[13:14] {Les} TGB was a favourite of mine. .60 at the bottom
[13:15] {Les} out FUQI flat. threatening b/d
[13:15] {nemo} looks like spy's ready to run again

[13:17] {nemo} di=did
[13:22] {Les} l fuqi .07 with 1k this time
[13:24] {nemo} AWIAV?
[13:24] {Threei} no... thinkking whether LVS worth a try
[13:24] {Threei} probably not
[13:25] {Les} incredible watching big offer vol. to force down stock, and chase it down in price
[13:27] {Les} fuqi foiled again. out +.01
[13:36] {Threei} oh boy...
[13:36] {Threei} grilled bear meat at isle 3
[13:37] {strider} GS is weak
[13:37] {Threei} Long Setup: FUQI .10 break
[13:38] {Threei} stop is so obvious, I won't insult your intelligence by calling it
[13:38] {Threei} but it's .05 for extrascalpers and 12 for sane traders
[13:41] {Les} already long .12, but it picks up some huge offers after rising 5 cents. not easy going
[13:41] {Threei} no
[13:41] {Threei} but stocks beaten that hard rarely are
[13:44] {Les} yeh. consolation is that there is huge buying offers at 12 for support
[13:44] {Threei} bids
[13:45] {Les} that too
[13:49] {dino} back in 30
[13:49] {dino} out nwpx fLAT

[14:00] {Threei} yes, I am talking to you, stock with strange and almost indecent symbol
[14:00] {Threei} move yor lazy butt
[14:00] {Threei} Market Internals update at 2:00pmET
[14:00] {Threei} - NYSE volume 555M shares, about 10% below its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 3.4:1.
[14:00] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 1.44B shares, about 6% above its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 1.8:1.
[14:00] {Threei} - VIX index -6.5% to just over 16.50
[14:03] {Threei} those pesky superscalpers got their 1:1 btw, and then some
06[14:04] * Threei squints at fern
[14:04] {fernp} lol
[14:04] {fernp} but not in
06[14:04] * Threei squints at the spot where ese usually sits
[14:05] {fernp} didn't see any play on it
[14:05] {fernp} i was wrong :-)
[14:05] {Threei} neither did I but I had to show Les that he did it wrong before :)
[14:06] {fernp} lol
[14:06] {Threei} magoo is preparing surprise party for dino?
[14:10] {Les} Is there a crime victim compensation committee I can appeal to in Canada?
[14:10] {Threei} hmmm
[14:10] {Threei} not sure
[14:10] {nemo} somebody steal your common sense?
[14:11] {Threei} I guess it's usual court process
[14:11] {Threei} with seeking punitive damages
[14:11] {Les} I'm clearly a victim here
[14:11] {Threei} lol... les, give it to nemo, he recovered from a blunder before
[14:12] {Les} oh no, I'm pretending Nemo didn't say that
[14:12] {nemo} o.k. Alice
[14:13] {Threei} that's osrtich policy
[14:13] {Threei} works well only if you don't have concrete floors
[14:13] {Threei} also, trust me:
[14:13] {nemo} fcx break of .56 on volume?
[14:13] {nemo} stop is wide
[14:13] {Threei} years of attempts to deal with nemo by pretending I don't notice him proved it's not working
[14:14] {Threei} he has no problem waiting it out
[14:14] {Les} still, you don't need to encourage him
[14:14] {Threei} I don't need to but it's fun...
[14:14] {nemo} Les....................I don't need encouragement...trust me...........you give me all the motivation I need
[14:14] {Threei} and the worst part is: he is doing just fine with no slightest encouragment
[14:15] {larisa} I say no more than 10 min a day of Les sarcasm. new rule.
[14:15] {Les} haha
[14:15] {nemo} Crissakes, he would have to shut up by 8:15
[14:15] {Threei} ok... my quota for the day is filled then
[14:15] {Threei} FUQI 1:1
[14:15] {Les} that's alright Larisa, I do enjoy self-deprecation
[14:15] {Threei} wait
[14:16] {larisa} but I am getting tired :)
[14:16] {Les} oh
[14:16] {Les} sorry
[14:16] {Threei} larisa meant sarcasm BY Les or sarcasm ABOUT les?
[14:16] {larisa} about les
[14:16] {Threei} oh, OK
[14:16] {nemo} fine, we'll fawn all over him
[14:16] {Les} voilà Nemo, you heard the woman
[14:16] {Threei} anyone took FUQI?
[14:17] {Threei} flawless trade
[14:17] {nemo} look at fcx Vad
[14:17] {Les} half out +.08
[14:17] {Threei} why?
[14:17] {Threei} what do you see there?
[14:17] {dino} .
[14:17] {Threei} stop to under .10 les, if you are partialing
[14:17] {nemo} the resistance at .55, and it's due for a run
[14:17] {Les} moving averages
[14:17] {Les} fuqi has cleared both
[14:18] {Les} with great difficulty
[14:18] {Les} 50/200
[14:19] {Threei} nemo, only if market makes another, and sizeable, move
[14:19] {Threei} I a, not delighted by how FCX sits good 50 cents under day's high while market makes new ones
[14:19] {Threei} next exit for FUQI is about .35
[14:20] {Threei} and last one is .45
[14:21] {fernp} STI .40 break, Vad?
[14:21] {Les} ok ty
[14:21] {Threei} probably, with market making new high
[14:21] {fernp} ty
[14:22] {Les} ok all out.
[14:23] {Threei} why??
[14:23] {Threei} stop is practically breakeven
[14:23] {Threei} stock finally found firm footing
[14:23] {nemo} Vad, if fcx holds .42 in this pullback, that's the right side if IH&S
[14:23] {nemo} think FUQI would be a new break on consolidation and then move above .28
[14:24] {Threei} don't know about FCX...
[14:25] {Les} cause a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush
[14:25] {Les} any sign of weakness, I'm happy to offload
[14:27] {Threei} well, as a naturtal born scalper I would be the last to argue with that
[14:27] {Threei} but this case does deserve more room
[14:27] {Les} u r right, but after shaky start to day I wanted cash in hand.
[14:28] {Les} CAGC
[14:28] {RonS} jef is a good boy
[14:28] {Les} just happy to get dino's trades in order. two good scalps on NWPX & FUQI. me happy
[14:29] {dino} gj les
[14:29] {Threei} 1:2 FUQI
[14:35] {Threei} GR) EU's Barroso: Would not speculate for dates for possible Greek aid
[14:35] {Threei} - Reiterates once again that Greece has not requested aid
[14:36] {Threei} (US) Fed Chairman Bernanke: Fed is uniquely suited to supervise large financial institutions - Congressional testimony
[14:36] {Threei} - Federal Reserve's participation in the oversight of banks of all sizes significantly improves its ability to carry out its central banking functions.
[14:36] {Les} I remember when I decided to give up on business program at uni
[14:37] {Les} when I studied marketing. "how to BS people"
[14:37] {jfjf64} mos s .26
[14:37] {Les} stinks to high heaven, like this Euro trash talk
[14:40] {Les} Vad, MNKD
[14:40] {Les} these big vol. spikes into resistance
[14:40] {Les} wondering if its something I can fade
[14:40] {Threei} I don't see plays on it Les
[14:40] {Les} ok
[14:40] {RonS} gs rolling over
[14:41] {Threei} all moves it does come from the points which don't tell me anything
[14:44] {Les} vivo 20 b/d
[14:45] {Les} aapl read
[14:45] {Les} red
[14:47] {Threei} (US) Fed Chairman Bernake: Concerned about the Fed being limited in size of banks it regulates, wants oversight over smaller banks too (related XLF )
[14:47] {strider} Good, Les. Tomorrow, we'll move on to bananas and oranges.
[14:48] {Les} hmmm not bad, not bad
[14:48] {Threei} - Note that the Dodd Bill limits the Fed to regulating banks of $50B in assets and larger
[14:49] {Threei} I am not saying a word since larisa forbade me... but I am crawling on the floor
[14:49] {Les} hehehe. s MNKD .43
[14:49] {nemo} how do you type?
[14:49] {Threei} keyboard's with me
[14:51] {larisa} you guys are monkeys : http://www.wobshite.co.uk/b3ta/fighting.jpg
[14:52] {nemo} not sure I get the analogy
[14:52] {strider} I don't think it's an analogy, nemo.
[14:52] {Threei} looks about right
[14:52] {larisa} sorry nemo :)
[14:52] {nemo} comparison...fine...I'm looking for trades
[14:53] {nemo} I've got hair on my face, but it' gray, long, and I've got blue eyes. I don't need Depends yet.
[14:54] {larisa} but you are bullying the child
[14:54] {RonS} trannies lagging today

[14:56] {larisa} FCX what a trade on range breakdown missed.
[14:56] {Les} wow
[14:57] {Threei} for quite a while already fern... I'd say since inception
[14:57] {RonS} gs
[14:57] {Threei} told you I didn't like FCX as long
[14:57] {Les} how long this room been open?
[14:57] {nemo} crissakes nothing long woulda' worked
[14:57] {Threei} from 2000
[14:57] {Threei} lol nemo, true
[14:58] {larisa} range was .30-.55, could do both
[14:58] {Les} can imagine everyone screaming at Cara.com
[14:58] {Threei} yes larisa, but I had a solid reason to dislike it
[14:58] {nemo} frankly, cat is holding very well
[14:58] {Threei} much better, yes
[14:58] {Les} h & s cat?
[14:59] {Threei} 14:19] {Threei} I am not delighted by how FCX sits good 50 cents under day's high while market makes new ones

[15:41] {nemo} op ex week
[15:41] {nemo} definitely
[15:41] {nemo} guess that means it won't
[15:44] {dino} hum dee dum
[15:47] {Threei} pelosi takes credit for 4000 points run in stock market
[15:47] {nemo} what a ......
[15:48] {RonS} her idiocy knows no bounds and is only topped by Babs Boxer
[15:49] {dino} she's something (I won't say what)
[15:49] {nemo} they all apply
[15:49] {Threei} keep your thoughts clean today dino, it's your birthday
[15:50] {dino} thoughts are on corn beef
[15:51] {Threei} Chief Exorsist says evil is everywhere,, including Vatican
[15:51] {dino} lol
[15:51] {RonS} ...here's a Black Bush (Bushmill's) to you, dino
[15:51] {Threei} I didn't even know there was such post :)
[15:52] {dino} thank you, have some guinness at home
[15:52] {dino} i want that job
[15:52] {RonS} ...i thought you were talking about pelosi again...:O
[15:53] {dino} chief exorsist
[15:54] {Threei} I was serious btw
[15:54] {Threei} that's who they showed on CNN
[15:56] {Threei} market recoeverdd to upper half of daily range
[15:56] {Threei} I have to say, this is not shaping well for bears
[15:56] {Threei} again
[15:57] {RonS} no bear wnats to press the bet. they cover and hide
[15:57] {dino} dsw stopped -.20
[15:57] {Threei} hope so for their sake
[15:57] {Threei} but that's not my impression
[15:57] {larisa} it is easy, bears need to convince Pelosi market needs to sell :)
[15:57] {Threei} I see a lot of "all oscillators say it's top, let's short"
[15:58] {Threei} lol
[15:58] {nemo} just get more overboughter
[15:58] {dino} you go first
[15:58] {Threei} exactly
[15:58] {Threei} larisa, tell me please
[15:58] {Threei} when oscilator, like stochastic for instance
[15:58] {Threei} goes into upper range, 8- and higher
[15:58] {Threei} and then p[rice stalls for a while instead of droppiong
[15:58] {Threei} what hppens to indication?
[15:59] {RonS} McClellan actually worked off its overbought...
[15:59] {nemo} looks like spy gonna' end the day right on vwap
[15:59] {dino} out fuqi -.06
[16:00] {larisa} oscillator will fall anyway most likely.
[16:00] {Threei} that's my experience and observation too
[16:00] {Threei} so consolidation liquidates overbought condition
[16:00] {RonS} cya all.
[16:00] {Threei} and price can continue higher again, becoming overrbought again
[16:01] {Threei} and overboghter still
[16:01] {Threei} so, all these references to indicators indicating overbought indications in the most indicative way...
[16:01] {Threei} ok guys, thank you all
[16:01] {Threei} hace a good evening, see you tomorrow
[16:02] {Les} ciao
