Mibbit is down for the day so those who use it couldn't connect today. This is third party service, and they are under Denial of Service attack. Sorry guys, not much we can do - hopefully they are up and running for tomorrow, otherwise installing mIRC is the only way to connect the room. Our server is running smoothly. Please use instructions at the bottom of http://www.realitytrader.com/tradingroom/ for mIRC installation. Meanwhile, you may monitor their updates at http://blog.mibbit.com/
The day was uneventful, with couple rinses and whole lot of boredom.

[11:28] {Threei} sorry fern...
[11:30] {Threei} - S&P: "In our opinion, Spain is likely to have an extended period of subdued economic growth, which weakens its budgetary position. The negative outlook reflects the possibility of a downgrade if Spain's budgetary position underperforms to a greater extent than we currently anticipate."
[11:31] {RonS} ...is that a long winded way of saying "we just make stuff up"
[11:31] {Threei} - "The downgrade primarily reflects Standard & Poor's downward revision of its medium-term macroeconomic projections.

[11:31] {fernp} shorted this morning a lot of spanish stocks

[14:57] {Les} I see lots of paragliders jumping off hill behind my place...
[14:57] {Les} but I'd rather be trading
[14:57] {shorty} A good friend of mine fly's private jets. I am jealous of his career.
[14:58] {shorty} paragliding is a bit risky for my taste.
[14:58] {shorty} Me too, trading is fun.
[14:58] {larisa} and not risky at all :)
[14:59] {shorty} Well, I hope trading doesn't kill me

[15:19] {Threei} none, really
[15:19] {Les} ok
[15:21] {Les} reading spiegel and these numbers being thrown about in aid just for Greece
[15:22] {Threei} and?
[15:22] {Les} wonder how long it takes for people to understand they're going to pay it
[15:22] {Les} for Greece
[15:22] {Threei} which people you mean?
[15:22] {Les} taxpayers
[15:22] {Threei} in Greece? germany?
[15:22] {Les} Europe
[15:22] {Threei} problem is, those are different taxpayers
[15:23] {Threei} no such thing as Erope taxpayer
[15:23] {Threei} that's the problem with EU
[15:23] {Les} even Portugal and Spain must contribute to Greece aid
[15:23] {Threei} and that's why it's doomed
[15:23] {Threei} there are taxpayers on different nations,
[15:23] {Threei} and some of them pay for others
[15:23] {nemo} qcom sitting near day's highs
[15:23] {Threei} and that's what will tear whol;e thing apart
[15:24] {Les} that's what I am thinking of
[15:24] {Les} how long before they realise they have to cough up the cash
[15:24] {Les} and pay the consequence in their own country
[15:25] {Les} GDX
[15:26] {Les} and how they will each respond to their own govts.

[15:37] {shorty} How about BRCM?
[15:38] {Threei} what formation do you see in either?
[15:39] {shorty} ISSI is trending.....BRCM is at a res.
[15:40] {Threei} setup comes from chart formation
[15:40] {Threei} familiar, recognizable, providing a scenario
[15:40] {Threei} "trending" is a state, not a formation
[15:40] {Threei} do I make sense?
[15:41] {shorty} yes
[15:42] {Les} talk about taking profits gdx
[15:43] {nemo} look at aem

[15:48] {Threei} spiked vertically
[15:49] {Les} too far too fast?
[15:49] {Threei} how do you decide which point is "no chasing" anymore, beyond resistance bvreak?
[15:49] {Threei} .40, .50, .55
[15:49] {Threei} they are all the same, points on the vertical spike
[15:49] {Threei} one of them will be the last one
[15:50] {Threei} see what I mean?
[15:50] {Les} yeh
[15:50] {Threei} .20 break, yes
[15:50] {Threei} little consolidation and .30 break, well,
[15:50] {Threei} questionable but could be
[15:50] {Threei} beyond that, it's already timeto look for exit
[15:51] {dptl} good evening all
[15:51] {Threei} not be a part of crowd blindly buying with no regard to setups
