Nice active day (no wonder, after yesterday's wild swings) with may trades on both sides. LVS, AIG, ITMN, NVDA, WFC, something else... When ISP started working in my area again, disconnects resumed but were not too prolonged so I could drop by to the room, make another call, then find out how it worked during next reconnection. Left it all in the log for the entertainment value.

[11:52] {strider} "nemo spelled backward is 'omen.'
[11:52] {Threei} if after 14 years of trading I say today is extremely dangerous,
[11:52] {dino} and dino is onid
[11:52] {Threei} you have all the reasions to be scared
[11:52] {magoo} his last name is neimad
[11:52] {Threei} lol
[11:52] {Threei} here is he thing about days like this:
[11:53] {shorty} Ya, but some of us are stupid and young Threei.
[11:53] {Threei} later on you hear al kinds of legends about fortunes made in one day
[11:53] {Threei} 99% of them are myth,
[11:53] {Threei} but main thing is:
[11:53] {dino} rule#1\
[11:53] {Threei} you will never hear real ones about firtunes lost
[11:53] {Threei} and 99% of those are true
[11:54] {dino} rule#1
[11:54] {nemo} don't lose the money
[11:54] {Threei} don't pee against the wind?
[11:54] {dino} you must stay in the game
[11:54] {strider} don't tug on superman's cape.
[11:54] {nemo} Don't mess around with Jim
[11:54] {strider} bad omen.
[11:54] {nemo} what?
[11:55] {strider} meaningless.
[11:55] {dino} you must stay in the game! rule # 1
[11:55] {shorty} thanks for FDX dino.
[11:55] {dino} np
[11:55] {shorty} Getting easier to handle your trades.
[11:55] {Threei} ok dino, I will make "don't pee against the wind" #2...
[11:56] {dino} irish rule, wind at your back, very similar
[11:56] {dino} being a mc and all
[11:56] {Threei} to finish my last diatribe,
[11:56] {Threei} market is a big cemetery with tobstones saying" he was a brave trader"
[11:57] {Threei} tombstones too
[11:57] {dino} ctrp out .42, +.41

[11:59] {RonS} aig winding up to rip?
[12:00] {Threei} probably but not against the market
[12:01] {Threei} keep an eye on it, it can be good one if timed right, and keep shares to half
[12:01] {Threei} ese
[12:01] {Threei} glad now you sold NVDA?
[12:01] {RonS} ...old broker saying: winners make money, losers lose, but brokers always make money: two out of three ain't bad.
[12:02] {Threei} you could have simply replace it again at the same price
[12:04] {Threei} Ron, my favorite version is:
[12:04] {Threei} winners make money, losers lose money, and sometimes it rains
[12:05] {dino} i prefer, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you
[12:05] {Threei} and sometimes it rains
[12:06] {dino} lol
[12:06] {Threei} and, to round it off:
[12:06] {Threei} some days you are windshield, some days you are a bug
[12:06] {Threei} well... and some days it rains
[12:07] {RonS} ...we are but mice treading where elephants play...
[12:08] {RonS} ...and sometimes it rains
[12:08] {Threei} you got it :)
[12:08] {nemo} while standing under the elephant...that ain't rain
[12:08] {RonS} lol
[12:10] {Threei} AIG...
[12:10] {nemo} .25 break?
[12:10] {nemo} nope
[12:11] {dino} lol
[12:11] {Threei} that was the idea at the moment, nemo
[12:11] {RonS} ...thinking it may be the wrong time of day...
[12:11] {Threei} could take shape again
[12:11] {Threei} scary as taking bacon from my breakfast plate
[12:11] {RonS} i want to see some volume
[12:11] {nemo} just gotta' whack you on the back of the head first
[12:12] {Threei} .25 is a big offer, volume will spike if it's taken
[12:12] {Threei} and make sure you are quick.. because when I see bacon, I am diabolically focused

[14:29] {Threei} part is above
[14:30] {Threei} they discuss it often but the cost of total redoing is mind boggling
[14:30] {Threei} so they hide under the ground parts of it when do some oher unavodiable work
[14:30] {Threei} in 200 years it all will be under the ground,
[14:31] {RonS} lol
[14:31] {Threei} or the big one hits,

[14:42] {Threei} magoo says so too
[14:42] {dino} gj ron, sorry was away
[14:43] {RonS} np thanks
[14:43] {shorty} out + 26 dino
[14:43] {Threei} befroe they disconnect me again, guys,
[14:43] {dino} gj shorty
[14:43] {Threei} AIG, bounced right into upper envelope
[14:43] {Threei} of downtrend channel
[14:44] {shorty} Still in a hole for today though.
[14:44] {Threei} ugh, not available for shorting
[14:44] {Threei} just tried
[14:45] {RonS} aig i think $40 cap but when it breaks it gors to at least 50 fairly quickly
[14:46] {Threei} if anyone has it available and went for short, keep stop above .55
[14:47] {Threei} and look to start covering into next leg down
[14:47] {Threei} around .30
[14:47] {Threei} right here, first cover
[14:47] {shorty} I covered at .38
[14:47] {RonS} ...can you imagine knowing when the Feds are near the end of selling the C position; then reverse split a la AIG and badabing.
[14:47] {Threei} a bit prematurelay... AIG is capable of more
[14:48] {shorty} After you said it too. Shucks
[14:48] {shorty} ty though
[14:48] {Threei} C is a bit different than AIG
[14:49] {Threei} but, heck
[14:49] {Threei} stranger things have happened
[14:49] {Threei} shorty, let's at least complete this trade on paper, practice sake
[14:49] {shorty} ok
[14:50] {Threei} at this point stop for the balance moves to above .40
[14:50] {dino} ironically, reverse spilts are supposed to be bad. used to stay on exchanges
[14:50] {Threei} cover 1/4 more near .20
[14:50] {Threei} they are dino... AIG is just one of rare exceptions
[14:50] {Threei} not first, it happened before... but seldom
[14:50] {dino} "exception" is key
[14:50] {Threei} normally it's a kiss of death
[14:51] {shorty} 1/4
[14:51] {Threei} OK, 1/4 more covered AIG
[14:51] {Threei} stop to .35
[14:51] {shorty} stop.30?
[14:51] {shorty} ok
[14:51] {Threei} after loss of .10 choices are:
[14:51] {Threei} cover
[14:51] {Threei} or continue trailing
[14:52] {Threei} personal preference
[14:52] {Threei} if covering, well, trade is completed for about 50 cents
[14:52] {Threei} if want to try and milk last part, stop to above .30
[14:52] {Threei} after 39 loss to above .20
[14:53] {shorty} done
[14:54] {Threei} to above .25 now
[14:54] {Threei} topped last bounce at .24
[14:54] {Threei} why hold it if starts making higher highs
[14:54] {Threei} get the logic?
[14:55] {Threei} it's simple really
[14:55] {Threei} like rake
[14:55] {shorty} got it, very clear when it's broken down like that.
[14:56] {Threei} that's me
[14:56] {Threei} mr clear when sober
[14:56] {nemo} ?

[15:15] {shorty} frozen here
[15:15] {nemo} invalidated?
[15:15] {Threei} yes, too far from there now
[15:15] {dino} whoosh down imo
[15:15] {Threei} wanted to see that huge offer taken as indication
[15:15] {nemo} I would think market should sell off from here
[15:15] {dino} need quotes shorty?
[15:15] {shorty} lol....yup
[15:15] {Threei} shorty, your broker is not good for these fast conditions

[15:17] {dino} gj
[15:18] {shorty} Thanks. I like these type of stocks. I have a feeling that I might need to deposit more cash in my account though if I trade like I did yesterday.

[15:22] {Threei} next week will be very interesting
[15:23] {Threei} no boredom in cards
[15:23] {nemo} yeah, depending on what happens this weekend :)
[15:23] {Threei} whatever happens, I believe boredom is not going to be an issue, lol
[15:23] {nemo} nope
[15:23] {nemo} tranquilizers
[15:24] {strider} in-valium-idated?
[15:24] {Threei} I have to say, these internet dsconnections were the most unnerving componenet for me
[15:24] {Threei} should be over today
[15:25] {Threei} imagine having open position in yesterday's market and lose internet
[15:26] {RonS} u were lucky...seeing -50/+50 .spx in minutes was unnerving
[15:26] {Threei} thank goodness I got kicked off before that hoopla started
[15:26] {Threei} nah, I would be delighted tio see that show
[15:26] {nemo} Imagine having Fidelity as a broker trying to cancel orders, and having to call to get the cancel go through as your getting killed
[15:26] {RonS} ...but dino held us tough...
[15:27] {Threei} Fidelity?
[15:27] {Threei} for day trading?
[15:27] {Threei} anyone who does that fully deserves to get his a$$ kicked
[15:27] {nemo} two years ago in the middle of a trade when the day ended, cancel order got backed up.oooooooowwwwwwww
[15:27] {RonS} ...hey i use Fidelity ATP and it works just fine...
[15:27] {nemo} Yeah, well I learned. THE HARD WAY
06[15:27] * nemo slaps RonS around a bit with a large Lead Pipe
[15:27] {Threei} lol
[15:28] {RonS} ...two years ago they did have burps...but it has been stellar since...
[15:28] {nemo} make sure you don't cancel orders to close to close with Fidelity Ron....there execution gets backed up
[15:28] {nemo} Frickin' $2500 burp
[15:28] {Threei} Ron... you are not kidding?
[15:28] {dino} thx ron
[15:29] {RonS} ...i am not kidding
[15:29] {Threei} well... I think you just never tried real broker then :)
[15:29] {Threei} or you would know just how slow yours is
[15:29] {dino} you direct access ron?
[15:29] {nemo} yeah, executions LASER sneaks in amazes me
[15:30] {RonS} ...prob not...but i have many accounts to manage
[15:31] {Threei} Market Internals update at 15:30ET
[15:31] {Threei} - NYSE volume 1.89B shares, about 130% above its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 5.6:1.
[15:31] {Threei} - NASDAQ volume 3.56B shares, about 80% above its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 3.4:1.
[15:31] {Threei} - VIX index +19.5% at just over 39.00
[15:31] {RonS} ...i have never used direct for stock...just options
[15:31] {dino} some china stocks holding, pwrd, snda, cagc
[15:32] {Threei} I would suggest to consider direct access for your day trading account...
[15:32] {RonS} ...if anyone ever wants an education on how to effectively execute options trades just ask.
[15:32] {Threei} once you try it, you will be scared to think you day traded with that
[15:32] {dino} could be magin calls hitting
[15:33] {nemo} or simply Friday afternoon after this week
[15:33] {RonS} ...maybe in a while Vad...
[15:33] {dino} good point
[15:33] {Threei} sure... it's not going anywhere
[15:33] {nemo} you know what they say about opinions Dino
[15:34] {Threei} justy scary to think you are doing intraday trades with nondirect access :)
[15:34] {dino} agree w/vad on the direct access ron, will blow you away
[15:34] {Threei} it's like you'll be making circles around yourself
[15:34] {Threei} so fast you are going to be
[15:35] {shorty} Have a good weekend everyone.

[15:36] {shorty} Thanks Threei, dino for your picks.
[15:36] {jfjf64} now ya talkin
[15:36] {Threei} feels like most should want to dump what they have before going to weekend
[15:36] {jfjf64} put ya short hat on 3i
[15:37] {Threei} although who knows... if they patch Greece over the weekend, kicking the can down the road may give temporary lift to things
