Session Time: Wed May 19 00:00:00 2010
[01:46] {KSystems} good morning

[08:21] {nemo} playing anything this morning mags?
[08:22] {Threei} GE) German Finance Ministry: The short selling ban was only the first step, timing of the ban was justified
[08:23] {Threei} Hearing vague rumors of a possible ECB announcement later this morning
[08:26] {Threei} Geron Corp Reports positive data on small molecule Telomerase activator in model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
[08:26] {Threei} - Announced positive data on its orally available small molecule telomerase activator, TAT153, in an animal model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The data show that administration of TAT153 increased telomerase activity in the lung tissue, reduced inflammation, preserved functional lung tissue, slowed disease progression and attenuated loss of pulmonary function.
[08:27] {dptl} good morning
[08:28] {magoo} theres a new download vad, but my norton anti-virus flagged it
[08:28] {magoo} couldnt download it
[08:31] {Threei} dp :)
[08:31] {Threei} didn't try it yet mags
[08:31] {Threei} hold on, I'll donwload it
[08:32] {nemo} I got it...volume on Level II now have decimal readings
[08:32] {nemo} Other than that, nothing particularly jumps out at me
[08:32] {Threei} downloaded... no problem
[08:33] {Threei} tell your norton it's paranoid
[08:35] {strider} OK here.
[08:51] {magoo} yeah, its a norton issue
[08:51] {Threei} so, Euro bounced some finally eh
[08:51] {magoo} first time that ever happened
[08:51] {magoo} ALWEAYS SOMETHING F'in with me
[08:51] {Threei} wolfpack is running for the cover, frightened and humbled, I suppose
[08:57] {Threei} IT) Italy market regulator (Consob): No plans to pass short-selling ban
[08:57] {Threei} why? Germany thinks it's a good idea
[08:57] {Threei} CZ) Czech Central Bank: Not planning any short selling restrictions
[08:58] {Threei} EUR/CHF Recent strength being partially attributed to think tank report suggesting G7 to get more aggressive in defending the Euro
[08:58] {Threei} lol... they still don't get it
[08:58] {Threei} don't defend Euro, fix the actual problem
[08:59] {Threei} it's not the temperature, it's the inflammation
[08:59] {Les} CHF for its part, spending taxpayers money to do currency swaps to try and keep swiss franc low
[08:59] {Les} I guess they'll buy back when Euro is 20% lower
[09:00] {Les} they're all morons
[09:00] {Threei} very smart eh
[09:00] {Les} morning :)
[09:00] {Threei} why they all think they can fight nature is beyond me
[09:00] {Threei} hi

[09:21] {RonS} buenos dias amigos
[09:21] {Threei} Ron :)
[09:22] {Threei} one thing I realized looking at yesterday's trading guys, must share
[09:22] {Threei} you remember of course long period when we had very brief window of activity in the morning, then long stall
[09:22] {Threei} so we had to grab our trades early
[09:23] {Threei} That has changed, activity in most days is being spread out much more evenly,
[09:23] {lasertrev} morning
[09:23] {Threei} and not pushing the trading yesterday early but instead continuing looking throughout the day, we performed much more evenly
[09:23] {Threei} trev :)
[09:26] {Les} is it not just due to extreme volatility at this moment? VXX is on the up and up. or is it volatility returning to the mean?
[09:27] {dino} mind the gaps
[09:28] {Threei} I've no idea les
[09:28] {Threei} there is just so much I am willing to theorize about the reasons
[09:28] {Les} moi non plus. I've only been here 6 months. I can't tell what "the norm" is... if it exists
[09:29] {Threei} well, necessity to squeeze all your daily trading in 30 min was certainly out of the norm
[09:29] {Les} ok
[09:30] {Les} speaking of volatility up. vxx 30
