[11:18] {strider} OK. You're restricted to question marks today.
[11:18] {Threei} that was totallyt unreadable
[11:19] {nemo} ecxept that it bounced off that level twice before
[11:19] {Threei} by that l.ogic, it should have dropped off 51.20
[11:19] {nemo} ?
[11:19] {larisa} pivot and camarilla 50.83 support
[11:20] {nemo} .20 could have been a partial
[11:20] {Threei} it dropped twice of that level before?
[11:20] {nemo} oh yeah, right on the pivot
[11:20] {Threei} if you consider such criteria a readable entry, you should be consistent
[11:21] {Threei} The Goldman Sachs Group Inc Fitch revises outlook to Negative from Stable; affirms A+ ratings
[11:21] {Threei} - The Rating Outlook revision to Negative incorporates recent legal developments and ongoing regulatory challenges that could adversely impact Goldman's reputation and revenue generating capacity. Goldman's franchise and market position are potentially vulnerable to scrutiny by stakeholders, and like peers, may be affected by the industry's regulatory evolution.

[11:56] {nemo} ?
[11:56] {Threei} haven't heard any complaints yesterday
[11:56] {nemo} I'm not complaining
[11:56] {Threei} strength of the bounce is a bit surprising, that's all
[11:56] {dino} nor i, been saying 3 days in one for a month
[11:57] {Les} no, it's my thinking that gets me into trouble
[11:57] {jfjf64} what happen yest
[11:57] {dino} open was day one, bounce day two, dday three coming
[11:57] {Les} ESI rocketing upwards should have been signal to ignore shortingt
[11:57] {Les} at the open
[11:57] {dino} yesrday -3%
[11:57] {Threei} yesterday was one of those "can do no wrong" days
[11:58] {Threei} total Midas touich
[11:58] {Threei} any trade we tried worked before we blinked
[11:58] {Les} was a good day
[11:58] {Threei} so we have up on blinking
[11:58] {Threei} gave
[11:58] {jfjf64} yest was yest today is today
[11:59] {jfjf64} lol
[11:59] {Threei} wow
[11:59] {dino} sro odd, beats and raises
[11:59] {Threei} that's real wisdom... sorry, I need to ponder that
[11:59] {dino} siro
[12:00] {jfjf64} jf has lots of wisdom
[12:00] {Threei} I get this feeling :)
[12:00] {nemo} ?
[12:00] {Threei} and nemo has a lot of questions
[12:01] {nemo} what feeling
[12:01] {nemo} ?
[12:01] {Threei} that jf has a lot of wisdom
[12:01] {dino} hey les, ctsh .65 prints
[12:01] {Threei} (GR) German Parliament budget committee reportedly backs 22.4B three-year aid package for Greece
[12:02] {Threei} will we now get riots in Germany too?
[12:02] {dino} nah, just invasion of greece when they default
[12:03] {dino} no sense of humor
[12:04] {nemo} volume very strong today
[12:04] {nemo} looks like the dip got bought
[12:04] {Les} I've blown it today dino. Why I sold CTSH just above 50 I do not know
[12:04] {dino} you made $, gj\
[12:04] {Les} nope
[12:05] {dino} ohh, 50.00 you mean
[12:05] {dino} .65 stop
[12:05] {jfjf64} lvs vad
[12:05] {dino} out +.50 ctsh
[12:05] {Les} a start with you 1st thing would have made a difference, but IB wasn't cooperating
[12:05] {Threei} I am looking at it jf... I just can't understand what it is I am looking at
[12:06] {dino} lucky start today, been struggling in a.m. lately
[12:06] {Les} was definitely buy the dip the morn
[12:06] {Threei} we are in opposite phases dino
[12:06] {shorty} double top WFC Threei?
[12:06] {dino} ctrp to .99
[12:06] {dino} usually 3i
[12:06] {jfjf64} reall wisdomm must ponder that also
[12:06] {Threei} looks like shorty
[12:07] {Threei} just hate to try again and again what doesn't work
[12:07] {Threei} and shorting sure didn't
[12:07] {nemo} see that support at 10:45 at 33
[12:07] {jfjf64} ditto
[12:07] {shorty} ok
[12:07] {Threei} look at today's trades
[12:07] {jfjf64} my biggest prob
[12:07] {Threei} bounce worked perfectly,
[12:08] {nemo} yeah, shorts got killedd
[12:08] {dino} gild to flat
[12:08] {Threei} bagged 30 cents profit, even with very early exit
[12:08] {Threei} two quite reasonably looking shorts into bounce to resistance failed
[12:09] {shorty} Got it, what worked yesterday might not work today. Adjust accordingly.
[12:09] {Threei} so far that's exactly the case
[12:09] {Threei} all bounces were sold hard yesterday
[12:10] {Threei} nothing of sorts today
[12:10] {larisa} and once you are fully adjusted, it changes again, shorty :)
[12:10] {Threei} lol
[12:10] {Threei} there is truth to it though:
[12:11] {shorty} lol
[12:11] {Threei} when certain patterns work for a while, we have consistency
[12:11] {Threei} when they change, we may have a few tough days,
[12:11] {Threei} or sometimes, being tuned in well, we get the change right,
[12:11] {Threei} as happened yesterday
[12:11] {Threei} but the greatest challenge is:
[12:11] {Threei} change from day to day
[12:12] {dino} outr ctrp +.24
[12:12] {Threei} you simply have not much signposts and/or time to re-adjust
[12:12] {Threei} fortunately it's not something that happens often or continues for long
[12:12] {Les} esi
[12:14] {dino} thats why nothing matters
[12:15] {Threei} yup... read every day to the best of your abilities, control risk, back off when not in tune, push when hot, forget about yesterday and start anew
[12:17] {Threei} this headline is somewhat ironic:
[12:17] {Threei} (EU) Goldman Sachs analysts sees fresh ECB quantitative easing as a necessity to cope with the Euro Zone peripheral debt crisis
[12:17] {Threei} - Expects Greece to restructure debt as soon as 2011.
[12:17] {Threei} - After May 19th Greece's next debt repayment is due in July, then country is in the clear until March 2011
[12:18] {Threei} I mean GS and Greece... can you say two disasters met
[12:18] {Threei} throw in BP, and it's picture perfect
[12:18] {dino} clear until march 2011? they will party like its' 1999
[12:18] {Threei} lol
[12:20] {Threei} (US) US Senator Dodd (D-CT); Expecting for Senate to vote on 'too big to fail' legislation in the early afternoon (related XLF IXG )
[12:20] {Les} that tobin tax still in the works?
[12:20] {nemo} not this year
[12:21] {Threei} Foreign investors believe that Greece will easily roll over debt on May 19th, now focusing on Spanish repayment due on May 20th and 21st.
