[12:49] {Threei} shorty, in some rare, almost exceptional cases trading in certain name becomes obviously abnormal
[12:49] {Threei} $2 stock goes to 10 on no news or on false news or on some unexplained something
[12:50] {Threei} sometimes NASDAQ intrudes
[12:50] {Threei} and says, hey,
[12:50] {Threei} all trades from 11:00 to 11:25 are canceled.
[12:50] {Threei} now, imagine that you bought and sold within that time - you are fine, your whole trade just disappeared
[12:51] {Les} you keep the cash?
[12:51] {shorty} Ouch
[12:51] {Threei} it's like you never traded it
[12:51] {Threei} but imagine you bought at 10:59
[12:51] {Threei} at 7
[12:51] {Threei} sold 11:10, at 9
[12:51] {Threei} this is where you are in troubles,
[12:51] {Threei} because only your sell is canceled
[12:52] {shorty} That is worse, because you offer is cancelled, but you still hold the stock!
[12:52] {Threei} and you stuck with long position at 7
[12:52] {Threei} stock opens after the halt,
[12:52] {Threei} since everyone knows now there is no news
[12:52] {Threei} it opens down, closer to 2 where it started
[12:52] {Threei} and you are holding it at 7...
[12:52] {shorty} I would have to go to my PC store and buy two more monitors after I calmed down.
[12:53] {Threei} of course you may have gotten lucky:
[12:53] {Threei} bought it at 9,
[12:53] {Threei} took stop loss at 7,
[12:53] {Threei} they canceled your buy,
[12:53] {Threei} you keep your sell,
[12:53] {Threei} and find yourself short at 7
[12:54] {larisa} yeah right
[12:54] {Threei} but in reality, you never get this lucky :)
[12:54] {shorty} So, here is my question Threei: Since you gave him a break, does he give you anything in return for calling a good stock?
[12:54] {Threei} you'd think so

[14:57] {Threei} them are in our pocket:
[14:57] {Threei} Moody's: expects to complete its review of Greece's A3 sovereign bond rating shortly after the details of the euro area/IMF programme are unveiled. Moody's has consistently maintained that Greece's short-term liquidity and restructuring risks are negligible given the depth of international commitment to maintaining regional financial stability.
[14:57] {Threei} - he details of the euro area/IMF package will provide crucial credit information covering: economic and fiscal assumptions; mechanisms of support for the banking system; adjustment measures to be implemented over several years under the programme; and the total amount of financing, which will determine how long the Greek government will be sheltered from hostile market conditions.

[15:17] {RonS} ...did you hear? the EPA came out today and said that clean air is contributing to global warming. The epitome of circular reasoning...
[15:18] {RonS} ...let us control the air so we can have justification to control the entire economy. May as well change the name the the Politburo
[15:19] {larisa} I am still trying to gasp gasoline alarm clock concept.. stop it :)
[15:19] {Threei} how did they justify that Ron?
[15:19] {Threei} larisa, I sincerely , for your health sake, hope you mean grasp...
[15:19] {larisa} correct
[15:20] {Les} my guess is less pollution and smog is permitting more heat absorbtion. so burning fuel in gulf of mexico is good in their books
[15:20] {RonS} ...you start with a core belief that everthing and any thing causes global warming. The throw in some scientific gobbledegook and feed it to the media and the idiots...but i repeat myself.

[15:24] {Threei} lol, look at this
[15:24] {Threei} The report also highlighted a surprising way that global warming may cause more cancer: the development of green technologies. Green technologies often involve exotic metals and alloys that, according to the report, may cause cancer
