[12:50] {strider} No. I'm in North Carolina.
[12:51] {Les} just checking google. ok, next door. same mountains though?
[12:51] {Les} apper whateveryoucallthem
[12:51] {strider} In the western third of the state, yes.
[12:51] {Les} yeh, i understood lot of coal in those mountains
[12:51] {strider} I'm at the foot of the Appalachians.
[12:52] {strider} Mosstly in Kentucky, West Va., Pennsylvania.
[12:55] {RonS} appalachia coal origin: http://mysite.verizon.net/sosborne1/origin.html
[12:57] {Les} cool. but i've the impression that's flat country. what's with the videos seen of blowing mountain tops?
[12:57] {strider} Wrong impression.
[12:58] {RonS} 400 million year old worn down mountain range...but still mountains
[12:59] {ese} am outta here cath you all tomorow.......busy times
[12:59] {RonS} cya ese
[12:59] {ese} cya ron
[12:59] {Les} ciao
[12:59] {dino} cya es
[13:00] {strider} bbye, ese.
[13:01] {magoo} good afternoon all
[13:02] {strider} hello, magoo.:)
[13:02] {Les} hi mags. no one is in charge...
[13:02] {larisa} lol
[13:02] {Les} dino, MEE 49 break interest you?
[13:02] {RonS} larisa, she who must be obeyed...
[13:03] {RonS} ...vad's rule...
[13:03] {dino} scalp short
[13:03] {Les} but not long? ok
[13:04] {dino} the way my mind worls les, it was in downtrend, so quarter breaks are short triggers
[13:04] {dino} gut says re-test by lod and bounce
[13:05] {dino} now nemo knows support better than i
[13:06] {Les} nice theory. another scalp missed
[13:06] {dino} i'm a simple trader les, nothing fancy
[13:07] {dino} cov .88, +.12, thx for heads up
[13:09] {dino} too soon
[13:09] {dino} db in making maybe
[13:11] {Les} so just to get this straight, in downtrend, bounce to quarter zone is short trigger for you is it?
[13:11] {strider} Gotta go... See you all tomorrow.
[13:11] {Les} bye
[13:11] {dino} cya strider
[13:12] {dino} in downtrend, like to see the quarter break, then breath back to it to enter
[13:12] {RonS} dino, do you see a long setup for RF?
[13:12] {dino} not my type too thick, but support .48, looks like it wants up
[13:13] {RonS} thx
[13:13] {dino} darn mee was at .60
[13:15] {dino} les, vad told me years ago, "be water". perhaps that answers your question
[13:16] {RonS} mspd looks like dino thin candidate...
[13:17] {dino} thin, yes ron, but too tight
[13:17] {dino} want pulp traes
[13:17] {dino} trades
[13:17] {Les} well Vad's not a trader of your setups, so I'm interested in how you see a capitulation stock like MEE
[13:18] {dino} i see some strange trades, lol. questions are fine, but i am wrong roughly 35% of time
[13:19] {RonS} ...jeez dino, more than joe biden...
[13:19] {dino} i "expect to lose" on some. odds game to me
[13:20] {Les} yes have observed this
[13:21] {dino} generally on capits les: $2+ drop fast, watch the quarters on bounces, should go through on way up and then come back to the quarter again.
[13:22] {dino} fast drop is key, straight shot down
[13:23] {dino} look at mee, that is not capit drop, that is the trend down, in my minds view, the capit was earlier
[13:23] {dino} rf was good spot ron
[13:26] {dino} les; post this on your wall if you want to know what i think: you are only in competiion w/youself. hard stops remove emotions. what do you believe that is not true? profits are luck, losses are skill. being poor is bad...staying poor is stupid. they are myearly morning prep reads.
[13:27] {RonS} amen
[13:28] {nemo} Could you expand on this one: what do you believe that is not true?
[13:30] {fernp} SPY c&h
[13:31] {dino} talking heads always saying stuff that is not true, falling in love w/trade that doesn't work, thinking something should happen (thursday someone in this room said 11k was guaranteed for monday, i questioned it), etc. question everything, as anything can happen
[13:34] {RonS} ya that I walk through the valley of the tape, I shall fear no evil, be they gs of the fed , for i have the knowledge that nothing is certain and everything possible; except of course vad and larissa. Can i get an amen?
[13:34] {shorty} Was away all morning, missed CIEN for a good run
[13:34] {RonS} ya=yea
[13:34] {dino} amen brother
[13:36] {larisa} funny :)
[13:40] {RonS} How loonie can it get?: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dollar-parity-sends-canadians-south-for-homes-2010-04-06?siteid=rss&rss=1
[13:43] {shorty} Thanks for the article Ron, that is exactly what my parents are doing right now. They are buying somewhere in Arizona.
[13:44] {RonS} ...they should check out Payson...
[13:52] {RonS} ...fed minutes is 8...
[13:53] {RonS} O goes for world dictator: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-04-06/gibbs-says-obama-wants-more-market-based-china-currency.html
[13:55] {shorty} Payson looks like a really beautiful place. I will forward it to them. Thanks Ron
[13:55] {dino} don't think the chinese care
[13:56] {RonS} ya think, except for the period of British humiliation the Chinese have never given a rat's behind what anyone has wanted...
[13:57] {RonS} shorty, they need not to be big city people...
[14:00] {nemo} Mmmhhh, mos breakdown or breakup?
[14:01] {dino} .60-.65 area should hold
[14:02] {shorty} Do you go there often Ron? Or do you live there?
[14:02] {RonS} the ghost of vad says "depends on market"...
[14:02] {dino} agree
[14:04] {Les} l mee .01
[14:05] {RonS} ...my in-laws have lived there since 1995...been maybe 10 times. Easy access to "the valley", Phoenix. Better weather, and more stable prop values due to restricted supply due to water, and demand from peple looking ot "beat the heat" with 2nd homes
