[11:18] {Threei} - Fears of European debt contagion is the central issue this morning, with rumors and speculation heightening anxiety and prompting denials from European leaders. There was chatter that Spain was already asking for an aid package nearly twice as large as Greece's going around, ramping the risk aversion, smacking EUR/USD down to one-year lows just above 1.300 and sending the Portuguese and Spanish equity markets down 4-5% apiece.

[11:33] {Threei} but let's make it all discretionary,
[11:33] {Threei} easy money is made
[11:33] {Threei} so, what I suggest is:
[11:33] {Threei} if you like any play out of those I'll outline,
[11:33] {Threei} do them on decreased shares
[11:34] {Threei} and decide on the minimal amount you go home with
[11:34] {Threei} kind of trailing stop on your account, protecting profit

[12:33] {Threei} payback will come anyway
[12:33] {Threei} may just as well enjoy today
[12:33] {Threei} and do what I always do when payback comes: limit risk strioctly
[12:34] {Threei} sit out most of drawdown with smallest losses possible
[12:34] {Threei} and resume winning streak
[12:35] {Threei} the sheer ratio of winners today by itself is not surprizing,
[12:35] {Threei} wha is surprising:
[12:35] {Threei} it happens on a day of big change in the market mood
[12:35] {Threei} those days are usually losers for me
[12:35] {Threei} as I go through readjustment
[12:36] {Threei} this is a part of the process

[12:42] {larisa} I am still waiting on BP explanation threei :)
[12:43] {Threei} "we don't need to raise any more capital" comes to mind
[12:43] {dino} bp: imf confirms no request from bp too
[12:43] {Threei} which one larisa.. honest or constructed in hindsight? :)
[12:43] {Threei} ok, both
[12:43] {Threei} honest: strong gut feel
[12:43] {Threei} hindsight:
[12:44] {Threei} .50 was obviously important level around which BP danced a lot today from both sides,
[12:44] {Threei} it had to serve eaither as resistance to reject the bounce and lead to short
[12:44] {Threei} or resistance to be broken and lead to long,
[12:45] {larisa} it had perfect bullish divergence at .40. was surprised you saw that though :)
[12:45] {Threei} with this protracted market selling and pause, surprise was ready to present itself,
[12:45] {Threei} and with BP being in green (on of few sianlds of green in the sea of red),
[12:45] {Threei} I'd assume surprise was likely to be on a long side
[12:46] {Threei} sheesh... why would my clayroviance surprise you... :(
[12:46] {Threei} :((
[12:46] {Threei} give me a gun someone, life is not worth it anymore
[12:47] {Les} waiting till end of session please
[12:47] {larisa} you are too emotional today. it was not your kind of play, thats why
[12:47] {Threei} me? emotional?
[12:47] {Threei} lol
[12:47] {larisa} but gut feel explains it :)
[12:48] {dino} as i always say, trust the gut
[12:49] {Threei} but fill it with beer first
[12:49] {larisa} some people just do not have it :)
[12:49] {Threei} dino, she just called us fatties
[12:52] {dino} been called worse
[12:52] {larisa} lol
[12:53] {Threei} well, but she also called me emotional on top of that
[12:53] {dino} that i have never been called, unemotional, sure
[12:54] {Threei} caught me off guard too... all I heard before was rather "don't you feel anything at all??"
[12:54] {dino} roflol
[12:54] {dino} or "what are you thinking"
[12:55] {Threei} yeah, that's a puzzling one considering that I disclose total absence of thinking in advance
[12:55] {Threei} abhorrence even
[13:02] {Threei} ITMN Halted: News pending

[14:15] {strider} Does this strike you all as funny?
[14:16] {strider} : For investors, eBay's a better bet than Amazon.com, WSJ says
[14:16] {strider} Investors weighing Amazon.com (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY) may be better off with eBay, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street." While shoppers may prefer Amazon's bargains, investors are attracted to the growing success of eBay's PayPal system
[14:16] {Threei} huh?
[14:16] {strider} IOW, consumers like AMZN.
[14:16] {strider} But investors should buy something else?
[14:16] {Threei} apples to oranges

[14:19] {Threei} such is reality
[14:19] {RonS} ...corn cobs...
[14:19] {Threei} Ron, it's too far from there to say anything definite
[14:19] {nemo} 51.30?
[14:19] {Threei} see, the major consideration is:
[14:19] {dino} itt stopped -.35
[14:19] {Threei} HOW it gets there
[14:19] {RonS} bp's yesterday's hod...
[14:19] {Threei} while that resistance is meaningful by itself,
[14:19] {Threei} consider two cases:
[14:19] {shorty} Pullback entry for VVUS Threei?
[14:20] {Threei} A: BP spikes sharply from current price into .30
[14:20] {Threei} B BP crawls up slowly, consolidates under .30, then breaks
[14:20] {Threei} which case is a valid breakout and which is trap?
[14:20] {RonS} b
[14:20] {RonS} a
[14:21] {Threei} there you go
[14:21] {RonS} ...guess i am learning something...

[14:25] {RonS} ...would love to see a 1.30 break so we could get a washout and reverse...
[14:26] {Threei} euro is so toast...
[14:26] {Threei} they can band-aid it for years, but eventual result will be the same
[14:28] {RonS} 1.310 should be 1.3010

[14:44] {Les} I actually wanted long, based on behaviour of stock at 14:08
[14:45] {Threei} - Bill would limit the ability of credit card industry to charge merchants small fees on each transaction.
[14:45] {Threei} - The fees bring the credit card industry $40B a year in revenue.
[14:45] {Les} see bear trap before bounce at 14:10?
[14:45] {RonS} ...he thinks only Congress shoudl get a fee for swiping...our money.

[15:18] {Les} so unlike BP incident, president can be seen to be 'on top of it'
[15:18] {Threei} " we were just informed that the president was briefed 6 times yesterday"...
[15:19] {Threei} he had valuable insight how to proceed?

[15:34] {dino} always picking on the little guy
[15:34] {Threei} about Nov 20st they disappear... don't know why
[15:34] {RonS} ...and I thought it was every day now with Shorty...:D
[15:34] {Threei} as if they have calendar
[15:34] {shorty} I remember as a kid going to the Island and picking clams from the beach. My mother would make us a big pot of clam chowder.

[15:35] {Threei} I just throw them on BBQ

[15:44] {magoo} sad to see the end of the unstoppable rally
[15:45] {Threei} nah
[15:45] {Threei} was getting long in the tooth
[15:45] {Threei} tough to trade
[15:45] {Threei} need t shake off some enthusiasm
[15:46] {Threei} just compare:
[15:46] {dino} well, ndx -4.9%
[15:46] {Threei} last months of the rally we had to get all out plays in the first 60 minutes
[15:46] {Threei} after that, market was dead
[15:46] {Threei} run into couple stops in the morning, almost no chance to redeem
[15:47] {Threei} today activity was much more evenly spread
[15:47] {Threei} still morning is the most active, sure, but still
[15:47] {shorty} My BP stop today hit hard
[15:47] {Threei} hmm?
[15:47] {Threei} there was just one, and it was slightly over 10 cents
[15:48] {dptl} good evening all..see ya tomorrow
[15:48] {shorty} I had my stop set, but it dipped so fast that I got stopped at a lower price.
[15:48] {RonS} cya dp
[15:48] {Threei} vs I don't know how many winning ones, of all thinkable sizes
[15:48] {Threei} take care dp
[15:50] {_york1} I trade futures nornally. How much slippage do you get on stocks?
[15:50] {Threei} stocks are not created equal
[15:50] {Threei} some are thin, some are thick
[15:50] {Threei} thin ones carry bigger possible slippage
[15:51] {Threei} thick ones practically zero
[15:51] {nemo} yeah, definitely a chance for a sygmoidoscopy
[15:51] {Threei} also, diff brokers offer different quality of executions
[15:51] {_york1} AND BP for example?
[15:52] {_york1} I have IB account
[15:52] {Threei} BP is mid pack
[15:52] {Threei} can be dangerous sometimes
[15:52] {Threei} when conditions become very fast
[15:52] {Threei} under nortmal conditions, not too bad
[15:52] {Threei} but today if you noticed most calls on it were :half lot"
[15:53] {Threei} which was toa ccount for its heightened volatility
[15:53] {nemo} for which Magoo doubled up
[15:53] {Threei} well... magoo has his own ideas how to interpret my words
[15:53] {Threei} he doubles when I sat careful
[15:53] {magoo} nemo, u mean x 4
[15:53] {nemo} he has trouble with your accent
[15:53] {Threei} triples when I say very dangerous
[15:53] {shorty} Have a good night all. Thank you Threei.
[15:54] {magoo} 500 x 4 =2k
[15:54] {Threei} take care shortt
[15:54] {RonS} cya shorty
[15:54] {_york1} do you have a 10 tick stop on scalp trades?
[15:54] {Threei} stop is ddictated by chart
[15:54] {magoo} WAITTTTTTT shorty
06[15:54] * magoo slaps shorty around a bit with a large trout
[15:54] {shorty} duck
[15:55] {_york1} I see
[15:58] {Threei} FBI guy says bomber was complete dunce
[15:58] {Threei} I am telling you... incompetence of attackers is our most effective line of defense
[15:59] {Threei} scary thought bujt we are biound to run out of luck sooner or later
[15:59] {larisa} later all :)
