[12:31] {Les} The latest glimpse of video footage of the oil spill deep under the Gulf of Mexico indicates that around 95,000 barrels, or 4 million gallons, a day of crude oil may be spewing from the leaking wellhead, 19 times the previous estimate, an engineering professor told Congress Wednesday
[12:31] {Les} why?
[12:31] {nemo} Vad.....remember who you're talkin' to
[12:31] {Les} not a setup
[12:32] {Les} just watching for 45 b/d. 45 is also 200ma support.
[12:32] {Threei} stock being 20+ cents from there, surely you can find better entry than that
[12:32] {Les} aaaaaaaaah
[12:33] {Threei} plus absence of qualifier folr how it gets there
[12:33] {Threei} makes whole thing kind of useless theoretical exercise
[12:34] {Threei} and yes nemo, I know Les is Martian
[12:34] {shorty} See you guys. Picking up family at airport. Hopefully I can be here for the close.
[12:34] {Les} I'm good for the day. BP breakdown of 45 would constitute icing on cake. IMO, BP is going down
[12:34] {Threei} but still, setups should be uniform across known Universe
[12:34] {Threei} take care shorty
[12:34] {Les} oh piss off the pair of yous :)

[12:39] {Threei} whether it froms long one, not so sure
[12:39] {Threei} let's wait for a bit,, unclear moment for the market overall

[12:49] {Threei} and why were you in BP in a first place??
[12:49] {Les} good question
[12:51] {Threei} loss of .30 for SPY invalidates long

[15:07] {magoo} so took it
[15:07] {Threei} some trades are almost shame to make... like shooting fish in a barrel
[15:08] {magoo} i mean .91 - .59 = um, er.??
[15:08] {magoo} uh
[15:08] {Threei} hmmm
[15:08] {Threei} wait
[15:08] {magoo} hmmm
[15:08] {Threei} let me whip out the calculator
[15:09] {magoo} well??
[15:09] {Threei} wait... not that simple'
[15:09] {Threei} need to run Riemann hypothesis
[15:10] {Threei} so... g(k) and G(k)....
[15:10] {Threei} 3n + 1 conjecture...
[15:10] {Threei} e - 1 / 2....
[15:10] {magoo} $140? nope, thats not right
[15:10] {Threei} nooo
[15:10] {Threei} 22n + 1 composite for n } 4
[15:11] {Les} egghead, what are you calculating vad?
[15:11] {Threei} 15:08] {magoo} i mean .91 - .59 = um, er.??
[15:11] {Les} thought trading was grade 3 maths?
[15:11] {Threei} not when it comes to magoo
[15:11] {Threei} polyhedral combinatorics must be applied
[15:12] {dptl} ah..all out bp ty
[15:12] {Threei} lol
[15:12] {Threei} coward
[15:12] {dptl} roflol
[15:12] {Les} I want more. was doing tea and missed the drop earlier
[15:12] {Les} in bp
[15:12] {Threei} bidding 1/4 more .78
[15:15] {Threei} hit
[15:15] {dptl} tsk tsk...figures
[15:15] {dptl} :)
[15:15] {Threei} shrug
[15:15] {Threei} stay cool
[15:15] {Threei} let market work its magic
[15:15] {dptl} lol
[15:15] {Threei} don't intervene with nmatural patterns
[15:16] {Les} all out ty
[15:16] {Threei} which is abother way of saying, don't pee against the wind
[15:16] {Les} noooooooooooooooo
[15:16] {Threei} out in full
[15:16] {Threei} .70
[15:16] {Les} oh good don't feel so cheated
[15:16] {Threei} learn frikin Taoism
[15:17] {Les} ?
[15:17] {Threei} if lazy, wait for me to finish this next book
[15:17] {Threei} and I am sure mty last
[15:17] {dptl} got to get this book
[15:17] {Les} hey I have a taoist book. let me find it
[15:17] {Les} here
[15:17] {dino} sheesh, i go to bus stop, we drop 50
[15:17] {Les} The Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet
[15:17] {Threei} lol dino
[15:17] {larisa} do not worry dino, if you apply polyhedral combinatorics to -250, we are green
[15:18] {Threei} that's actually good point
[15:18] {Threei} but Infinite Ramsey theorem spills different light on it
[15:18] {dino} ;) the days not over yet
[15:19] {Threei} it's very simple actually, think of it like this:
[15:19] {Threei} Let X be some countably infinite set and colour the elements of X(n) (the subsets of X of size n) in c different colours. Then there exists some infinite subset M of X such that the size n subsets of M all have the same colour.
[15:19] {Threei} thus, green or red...
[15:19] {Threei} who cares
[15:19] {Les} got anything in black?
[15:20] {Threei} of course, it's just another subset of M
[15:21] {Les} you never told me you were a geek
[15:21] {Les} I want a refund please
[15:21] {Threei} I didn't want you to feel inadequate
[15:21] {Threei} realization that all girls are mine can be hurtful, you know...
[15:22] {Les} hehehe
[15:22] {Les} ok
[15:22] {Les} swoooosh goes the meatgrinder
[15:22] {Threei} hmmm
[15:22] {Threei} US) US President Obama to make announcement on the Wall Street reform legislation at 4:20pmET
[15:24] {Threei} RMBS Reportedly sees decision on case against NVDA and Hynix next week (23.57, +0.07, 0.30%) (related NVDA )
[15:25] {strider} .
[15:26] {Threei} strider,
[15:26] {Threei} for you mental heal;th sake,
[15:26] {strider} yes
[15:26] {Threei} don't even think of scroling through everything that happened while you were away
[15:26] {Threei} RMBS Reportedly sees decision on case against NVDA and Hynix next week (23.57, +0.07, 0.30%) (related NVDA )
[15:26] {strider} awwwww!
[15:26] {Threei} oops, wrong paste
[15:26] {Threei} (US) House Speaker Pelosi: Tax extenders bill, including new tax on fund managers, to be taken up next week
[15:26] {Threei} - Confident that House Democrats have the votes they need to pass tax extender bill.
[15:27] {Threei} tax them out of this universe, damn bastards
[15:27] {Threei} how dare they make money
[15:30] {Les} here's my friend, waiting for the RMBS decision to retire a millionaire
[15:31] {Les} maybe he'll get lucky
[15:32] {Threei} US) Fed's Tarullo: Fed swap actions are not designed to bail out anyone, least of all Greece
[15:32] {Threei} - Fed is not considering any further options to aid Europe
[15:33] {Threei} further?
[15:33] {Threei} it sounds like "we haven't helped them, and not going to help any more"
[15:33] {Threei} not only I never beat my wife, I am not goling to beat her ever again
[15:35] {Les} that's too much information
[15:35] {larisa} further has many meanings than that vad :)
[15:35] {larisa} many more
[15:36] {Threei} well, then those nuances are too subtle for me :)
[15:36] {Threei} but what else is new
[15:36] {Threei} my preferred depth of language use is: tree good, fire bad
[15:37] {Threei} les, thar's actually a reference to a well know casuistic way to shape up the question
[15:37] {Threei} "when did you stop beating up your wife/"
[15:44] {dino} hmmm
[15:44] {Les} wow new word learnt
[15:44] {Les} casuistry
[15:45] {Les} first time you made me pull out the english dictionary vad
[15:45] {Les} not bad
[15:45] {Threei} see... geek
[15:46] {Les} double geek
[15:46] {Threei} ugh
[15:46] {dino} going for lod
[15:46] {Threei} had this nagging idea that finnies should sell hard into close
[15:46] {Threei} with this Obama statement ahead
[15:47] {Threei} but it looked so obvious, I didn't feel easy about trading on such evident thing
[15:47] {Threei} look at WFC
[15:50] {dptl} good evening all...see ya tomorrow
[15:50] {Threei} where do you think you are going?
[15:50] {Threei} 10 min more of suffering
[15:51] {Threei} sit here and suffer with us
[15:51] {dptl} lol...
[15:51] {dptl} ok...FINE
[15:51] {larisa} bye all :)
[15:51] {Threei} see what you started dp?

[15:51] {Threei} bye larisa :)
[15:52] {dino} cya lari, dp
[15:53] {dptl} .
[15:55] {Threei} -328
[15:56] {dptl} are we gonna test that low tomorrow?9833?
[15:56] {Threei} WFC... toothache in the heart
[15:56] {Threei} surely looks like that
[15:58] {dino} ugly
[15:59] {Threei} well... depends
[15:59] {Threei} we had fun day
[16:00] {dino} lots of pain out there
[16:00] {Threei} certainly

[16:01] {Threei} thank you all
[16:01] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[16:01] {Les} ciao
[16:01] {Les} you too
[16:01] {strider} a la manana, vad.
