Mar 19 2010

Quadruple witching kept our activity rather at the low end, but good day shaped up nonetheless. 45 cents profit on CAT short, nicely sized PALM short, couple small stops and quite a few discretionary trades most of which worked nicely.

Session Time: Fri Mar 19 00:00:00 2010
[08:13] {KSystems} good morning!
[08:14] {Threei} good morning
[08:41] {Threei} (GR) Greece PM: Greece is in a step before inability to borrow
[08:41] {nemo} Sarkozy is offering aid
[08:41] {Threei} wasn't it "not requesting aid" yesterday?
[08:41] {nemo} yep
[08:42] {Threei} GR) French Official: Germany and France have different ideas about dealing with Greek situation
[08:42] {Threei} - Official notes that French President Sarkozy an IMF loan to greece, would like to see a European solution to the issue.
[08:42] {Threei} ***Reminder: Earlier in the session, the German finance minister said Germany has not ruled out IMF support for Greece, but said Germany has reservations about such tactics
[08:43] {Threei} German Fin Min: Up to Greece to lower its borrowing costs via fiscal consolidation
[08:43] {Threei} - Greece to to take the steps to restore confidence in capital markets
[08:43] {Threei} - Have not ruled out IMF assisted support towards Greece, but do have reservations about such tactics
[08:43] {Threei} GR) German Gov't: No new situation on Greece and reiterates that the country has not asked for aid
[08:43] {Threei} lol
[08:44] {Threei} my favorite:
[08:44] {Threei} Germany has not ruled out IMF assistance for Greece
[08:45] {Threei} reminds me "Ukraine and Argentina signed agreement about Belarus not attacking Mongloia"
[08:52] {Les} sorta reminds me of monty python scene in the market where soothsayers and other quacks speak
[08:52] {Les} "He's making it up as he goes along!"

[10:47] {nemo} must be huge churning at each level
[10:47] {Threei} Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President
[10:48] {Threei} must be because he is protecting american people from big bad insurance companies
[10:48] {nemo} what's funny about this health care, there is no way on God's green earth they are going to "control" spending
[10:49] {nemo} Demographics trump everything

[10:51] {Les} CAT
[10:51] {Threei} ask those who wait for years for their "non life threatening surgeries"
[10:51] {Threei} or go to US at their own expense and get it done in days
[10:53] {Les} well it averts public gaze from even bigger spending on defense
[10:54] {Les} and govt. itself. I've read that wealthiest districts in USA all centred in and round washington

[11:04] {Threei} EU bailout sends USD up
[11:05] {Threei} IMF bailout kills it
[11:05] {Les} that's the one
[11:05] {Les} out CAT +.18
[11:06] {fernp} 1:1 BAC
[11:06] {Threei} Greece shrugging and withdrawing from the modern world altogether and switching to internal barter send price of alives to the sky
[11:06] {Les} spy - db or death
[11:07] {Les} ha. bought olive oil from producer in Tuscanny last year. Most olives in oil come from anywhere round Med rim.
[11:08] {Les} Nothing Italian about Italian olive oil
[11:08] {nemo} at S3, if it breaks lower on volume could go to 115.50 area
[11:08] {Les} Greece, dunno
[11:10] {Les} out UAUA +.10. would like to short again if it doesn't bounce

[11:18] {Threei} if you can stand the visual, Ms Pelosi is "very excited about the situation"
[11:19] {Les} I imagine she has top notch health insurance in event of heart attack
[11:19] {RonS} every thief has their excitement
[11:20] {nemo} They're the American Politburo, special stores, special health insurance, special perks
[11:20] {Les} spy
[11:20] {RonS} ...they excluded themselves for the system from the jump
[11:21] {Threei} seeing how SOMX holding around these levels, I start thinking,
[11:21] {gen} ?
[11:21] {nemo} thinking?
[11:21] {Les} stop thinking
[11:21] {Threei} if it sits here for an hour or two more, it has a good shot at momo resumption
[11:22] {RonS} ...especially if the market washes out early, and then recovers
[11:24] {magoo} somx..was watching that too

[11:30] {Threei} I am Mr. Nikolai Bondaruk, at present I am suffering from throat cancer
[11:30] {Threei} and have a hole in the heart.
[11:30] {Threei} My matrimonial situation is such as I do not have a wife and even less
[11:30] {Threei} children to whom I could bequeath my heritage.
[11:30] {Threei} It is because of this I
[11:30] {Threei} would like gracious and with the aim of help stripped to give you this
[11:30] {Threei} known as heritage rising to a value of $9.5 million US dollars
[11:31] {Threei} etc

[11:35] {Threei} feels like it will try mags
[11:35] {magoo} in here .57
[11:35] {Threei} really tough to time it
[11:36] {Threei} if it gets going, .90 is target, at least
[11:36] {magoo} thought it might just 'jump"
[11:36] {Threei} it could but only when real momo is back
[11:37] {Threei} for now it's kind of "am I back or am I still thinking"

[12:30] {RonS} ...never, but there should have been many...
[12:32] {Threei} lol
[12:33] {RonS} ...such a stance conflicts with revenue generation from the promotion side. plus engenders the potentail for lawsuits a la overstock.com
