Very strong day, with longs on GS (for +$1), WFC (+.20 and .25), LVS (+.20), AIG, shorts on PALM and JPM... couple small stops didn't even make a dent. Congratulations to our gutsiest trader who hit over $3 run on GS on decent size.

[09:31] {Threei} if you ask me, it's quite amazing we are down 18 points
[09:33] {ese} only 18......i was thinking huge opening to the dn side this morning
[09:33] {Threei} let's start thinking long on pullback
[09:34] {Threei} WFC, near .50 - .60
[09:34] {dino} dji -5, but most i follow off 1+
[09:34] {Threei} BAC, around 18.10
[09:35] {Threei} we are green ese
[09:35] {Threei} believe it or not
[09:35] {nemo} maybe they think it'll just be a slap on the writ
[09:36] {nemo} wrist
[09:36] {Threei} or not even that - accusations are to be proven yet
[09:37] {ese} weird........man what can you trust vad....sheesh
[09:37] {Threei} OK, pullbacks start
[09:37] {dino} ctsh sm l .75
[09:37] {Threei} you can understand my hesitance to buy breaks this morning
[09:38] {Threei} they didn't work even on Friday morning, before all this hoopla
[09:38] {Threei} after this spike though targets are probably a bit higher for entry
[09:38] {Threei} BAC around .20 - .25
[09:39] {Threei} WFC .60 - .65
[09:39] {Threei} but let's nopt go off pure numbers
[09:39] {Threei} let them get there, then establish firm bottom and narrow range
[09:40] {Threei} one ore sharp leg please
[09:40] {dino} pot 106

[09:43] {fernp} ok
[09:43] {Threei} I still have hard tome trusting breakouts
[09:44] {Threei} one more thing, btw
[09:44] {Threei} m aterials may be safer plays than banks today,
[09:44] {Threei} FCX for instance
[09:44] {Threei} looks half lot short

[11:10] {Threei} most likely, yes
[11:10] {Threei} I'd love to see small bounce first

[11:11] {Threei} or 5.10
[11:11] {Les} ok
[11:11] {Threei} whatever it is, would be nice to see it holding, then breaking support

[11:17] {Threei} FCX, LVS
[11:18] {Threei} WFC
[11:18] {Threei} WFC is .80 break trigger
[11:18] {Threei} LVS .75 break
[11:19] {Threei} FCX ,80 break
[11:22] {Threei} with this pullback, aggressive entries become preferrable

[11:33] {Threei} wtg
[11:33] {Les} big concentration of resistance here aig. could rocket following .20/.25
[11:34] {fernp} JPM , Vad?
[11:35] {Threei} one of weaker ones
[11:35] {Threei} I am not delighted
[11:35] {Threei} market turns up, so don't want to short it
[11:35] {Threei} and don't like long on a weak stock
[11:36] {Threei} GE) German Econ Min: There is no guarantee that airlines will receive subsidies for losses related to Iceland volcano ash cloud; need to loosen restriction on nighttime flying and weekend trucking to offset impact
[11:36] {Threei} - European transport ministers to hold videoconference at 1600GMT to discuss trucking rules.
[11:36] {Threei} - May take two weeks to cover air traffic schedules following cancellations.
[11:36] {Threei} getting whacked, JPM
[11:37] {fernp} out JPM +.17
[11:37] {Threei} shorted breakdown?
[11:37] {fernp} 45.04
[11:37] {Les} haha EU wants to sue Iceland now for volcano damage??
[11:38] {Threei} hmm?
[11:38] {nemo} that's too funny
[11:38] {Threei} where do you see that?
[11:38] {nemo} his head
[11:39] {Les} just playing with subsidy talk from German min.
[11:39] {Les} I know England is pissed with Iceland
[11:39] {Threei} oh, ok... I was hoping for the best joke of the year
[11:40] {Les} lol that would be too much
[11:41] {Threei} well, one of better jokes over the weekend was Iceland answering "when is your volcano going to stop erupting?" with
[11:41] {Threei} "well... is our debt forgiven/"
[11:42] {Les} hehehe
[11:45] {Threei} reversal attempt didn't succeed, more downside in order
[11:46] {Threei} Short Setup: JPM .80 break
[11:46] {Threei} if stays under .85 for scalpers, .90 for day traders
[11:49] {Threei} C Exec: Right now everyone is waiting for clarity on what capital requirements will be before deterimining when to reinstate dividends - conf call Q&A
[11:50] {Threei} 1:1 for day traders JPM
[11:52] {RonS} dino, ferts going natural
[11:53] {Les} someone abandoned MOS to the wolves
[11:54] {RonS} ...looks like a h&s breakdown, check the daily
[11:55] {Les} something like that. b/d from 56 nice
[11:56] {dino} brutal couple weeks for them
[11:59] {dino} bucy blood
[12:00] {Threei} need to see how end of dasy works of course, but so far, the selling is fairly contyrolled,
[12:00] {Threei} no panic, no get-me-out-now
[12:00] {ese} would agree with that sentiment
[12:01] {RonS} 1180 break would bring some panic. i have 1181 as downside target from the first hour range
[12:02] {dino} dji not meaningful, ndx, s/p more realistic
[12:02] {dino} resource plays seem to be getting clocked.
[12:02] {ese} I think that is the S&P dino
[12:05] {Threei} but DJI provides much better numbers for 11K parties
[12:06] {Threei} we may have a few of them on daily basis, as market dances around these levels
[12:08] {Threei} EU) ECB's Weber: Greece may need additional aid
[12:08] {Threei} lol
[12:09] {Les} who did they get aid from? I thought they'd manage to raise capital from the markets?
[12:10] {Threei} no they didn't
[12:10] {Les} oh
[12:10] {Threei} bond sales in USA failed, and market borrow rates were wy too high for them
[12:11] {Les} crap, and there is the fate of all European nations that need to borrow. UK, Spain etc
[12:11] {Threei} Portugal, Italy and Spain and major focus now
[12:11] {Les} Vad you got a read on MOS here?
[12:11] {Les} can't tell b/d or long entry on pullback
[12:11] {Threei} I still think short
[12:12] {Threei} 52
[12:12] {Threei} just would like better pronounced resistance level
[12:13] {Threei} no bounce
[12:13] {Threei} if you went for it, keep stop above .15
[12:13] {Les} s .99 small shares
[12:13] {Les} looking to cover .75
[12:14] {Threei} not greatly outlined resistance, I like better defined charts
[12:14] {Les} agreed
[12:14] {Threei} but with market this weak, we are not getting bounces good enough to form those
[12:15] {Threei} don't like this long hesitance... break of major support should produce better falls
[12:16] {Threei} tighten stop to above .10 IMO
[12:16] {Les} k
[12:16] {Threei} no need to get caught into vicious snapback
[12:16] {Les} out. don't like it
[12:17] {Les} and gotta do dinner
[12:17] {Threei} lol... you europians
[12:17] {Threei} doesn't concern you fern, you we like
[12:19] {fernp} nah, not too much
[12:19] {Threei} I meant you personally
[12:19] {Threei} is it bounce time for the market or not yet
[12:20] {Threei} we need little pullback, no new low,
[12:20] {Threei} then break of the high of this bounce
[12:20] {fernp} Spain is on the brink
[12:20] {dino} ctrp sm l .50
[12:20] {Threei} I know... together with Italy and Portugal
[12:21] {fernp} unemployment
[12:21] {fernp} is very high
[12:21] {Threei} let's keep LVS as bounce candidate
[12:21] {dino} ctsh sm l .45
[12:21] {Threei} and WFC
[12:22] {Threei} Long Setup: WFC .50 break
[12:22] {Threei} low of this pullback will be stop level
[12:22] {Threei} loss of .40 will invalidate setup
[12:24] {magoo} AIG vad, bounce??
[12:24] {dino} bucy sm l .50 ave
[12:24] {Threei} not sure mags
[12:24] {Threei} 50/50
[12:25] {Threei} if holding .50 and bounces, will be rather big
[12:25] {Threei} but I don't see easy trigger
[12:25] {Threei} maybe .60
[12:25] {Threei} stop is tight enough
[12:26] {Threei} setups are a little bit like jellyfish today
[12:26] {Threei} no clarity
[12:27] {Les} and nasty sting if mishandled
[12:28] {Threei} nah, just keep the stop... we don't touch those with too wide stops anyway
[12:29] {Threei} WFC is one of the better setups... cleanly defined trigger, tight stop and nice absence of overhead for about 15 cents at least
[12:29] {Threei} just need market cooperation
[12:30] {Threei} see how willing it is?
[12:30] {Threei} (US) Obama Administration to hold first meeting of debt reduction commission on 4/27
[12:30] {Threei} - Fed's Bernanke to testify before the committee
[12:31] {Threei} AIG invalidated
[12:31] {Threei} LVS moved more or less, but I never found clear entry
[12:35] {dino} out ctrp .00, +.50
[12:36] {dino} xrtx gap filled from march
[12:38] {Threei} mags
[12:38] {magoo} yes?
[12:38] {Threei} you may want to start hunting GS
[12:38] {Threei} that's your personal alert
[12:38] {Threei} and maybe jf

[14:36] {Threei} I think things change folks
[14:36] {Threei} Fri shock wears off
[14:36] {RonS} from Market watch at 2:32: Investors grew more confident the fallout from U.S. regulators' charging Goldman Sachs (GS:$161.15,00$0.45,000.28%) might not be as widespread for gold and gold funds as initially feared, said Stephen Platt, an Archer Financial Services commodity analyst in Chicago.
[14:36] {Threei} market doesn't feel it's a reason for reversal anymore
[14:37] {Threei} and think of it:
[14:37] {Threei} over the weekend we had GS, China RE tightening and Europe airlines disaster
[14:37] {Threei} if we can close in green after all that, or even contain losses to insignificant nnumbers...
[14:38] {Threei} I'd say bears are back in thw world of suffering

[14:48] {dino} right now gs is saying, "how much to make this go away"
[14:49] {Threei} in my mind it's a bit different: GS saying "take whatever we offer now, or we will fight this for real and win - then you get nothing"
[14:49] {magoo} GS reports tomorrow a.m
[14:50] {Threei} yeah
[14:51] {magoo} could squeeze
