[12:10] {Threei} According to South Koreas Yonhap News Agency, a 1,500-ton naval vessel with a crew of 104 sank off of the island of Baengnyeong in the Yellow Sea on March 26. Based on size and crew displacement it is likely either an Ulsan-class guided missile frigate or a Po Hang-class corvette. The incident took place between 9 and 10 a.m. local time. The cause is unknown, but the BBC has reported that a torpedo was involved. Seoul has said there was an explosion at the stern, and it is investigating whether a torpedo attack from North Korea was the cause, according to YTN TV. The contested waters between North and South Korea do see the occasional naval clashes, but the loss of a surface combatant on this scale would be extremely significant.

[12:53] {_shorty} Had a good friend in the military, he knew way too much. Could kill me with his thumb.
[12:54] {nemo} left or right?
[12:54] {Threei} A South Korean ship has been sunk in the vicinity of the maritime border with North Korea. While details are sketchy, initial reports suggest that some South Korean naval ships had been involved in combat with an unidentified ship in the area immediately preceding the incident. Other reports suggest that the ship was struck by a torpedo. Yet another indicates a stern explosion.
[12:54] {Threei} Tensions between the two Koreas have always been at least moderately high, but recent governments in the South have tended to seek a rapprochement. Last year, however, a new government came to power that revoked the Sunshine Policy and took a firmer stance against the North.
[12:54] {_shorty} I think he was right handed, so his left.
[12:55] {nemo} nice...you watch too many sean connery movies

[13:42] {Threei} yeah but Les didn't triple today on questionable news
[13:42] {ese} it's a cure for heart failure.......

[13:43] {Threei} - U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a patent on methods of treating heart failure patients with bucindolol based on genetic testing. The patent (USP# 7,678,824) entitled Methods for Treatment with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Targeting, provides protection in the United States for this novel approach to treating patients with heart failure, one of the largest health care problems in the United States and the rest of the world
[13:43] {Threei} yes but it's just a patent

[13:44] {Threei} March 10, 2010 8:18:15 PM
[13:44] {Threei} ARCA Biopharma Announces Going Concern Opinion per Nasdaq Rule 5250(b)(2)
[13:44] {Threei} - Announced, as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(b)(2), that the report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, included in its previously filed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2010, contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
[13:46] {Les} yeh I'll take ABIO over me any day
[13:47] {ese} what does that mean vad?...........sheesh

[14:06] {Threei} risky as taking golf club from ese, beer form magoo or bacon from me
[14:06] {Threei} or carrot juice from larisa
[14:06] {RonS} ...i would think covering generally, since the preferred placement suggests confidence in the biz long term. But, this is so thin, usually, it is dangerous.
[14:10] {Threei} World Bank's Zoellick: Greece and other EU nations will face struggles; double dip recession is not likel
[14:11] {RonS} 3i, has csx formed a db? or the fact that the .djt acted identically that one should conclude, no.

[14:49] {Threei} I'd expect much faster selloff after breakdown
[14:50] {nemo} noticed, that long green candle after the previous bottom...middle is often a support area
[14:50] {Threei} but with half lot I am willing to give it a chance
[14:51] {RonS} ...the latest but no the last: AT&T to Take $1B Charge for Health Care

[15:00] {_shorty} In this situation, what set up are you looking at? Support resistance? Oh, indescribable. Got it.
[15:00] {Threei} there is no setup to them
[15:00] {_shorty} OK
[15:00] {Threei} that's what I am trying to say
[15:00] {_shorty} Thanks.
[15:00] {Threei} either wait for them to calm down a bot so they start ovey technicals,
[15:01] {Threei} or play them by pure momo feel
[15:01] {Threei} which requires a lot of experience
[15:01] {Threei} and comes through observation
[15:01] {Threei} ovey = obey
[15:01] {_shorty} lol...I like that "momo feel" Kinda like mojo.
[15:03] {_shorty} The only momo stock that I did well in was TIVO, but that was pure fluke. Then came SOMX and told me "you are dead"
[15:03] {Threei} leave them alone until you paper tarded them a lot
[15:03] {_shorty} understood Threei.
[15:04] {Threei} and got a feel for how they move, what the signs on new leg up are
