[12:32] {Threei} nothing that happens i such a narrow range is of any significance
[12:32] {Threei} it's just a noise
[12:34] {Threei} 46% Oppose More Government Regulation of Financial System, 37% Favor
[12:36] {Threei} oh yes
[12:36] {Threei} daily dose of idocy from the Idiots Union:
[12:36] {Threei} (EU) Italian PM Berlusconi: United European action has defeated attacks on the euro by speculators
[12:37] {Les} he's a smart player vad
[12:37] {Les} Berlusconi has kept himself out of prison for years even as police keep chasing him. He plays the game well
[12:38] {Threei} am I supposed to bow in awe?
[12:38] {Les} no
[12:38] {Les} but I don't think of him as an idiot
[12:38] {Les} smart arse geriatric maybe
[12:38] {Threei} I am not evaluating his entire life, you see
[12:39] {Les} fantastic choice of women absolutely
[12:39] {Threei} I am talking about this line of comments
[12:39] {Les} yeh
[12:39] {Les} but if anyone is blowing smoke for cover it's him
[12:39] {Threei} and if you see anything but idiocy in this, I beg to differ
[12:41] {magoo} RIG pounded here
[12:41] {Threei} if he believes this, he is an idiot
[12:41] {Threei} if he knows this to be bs,
[12:41] {Threei} and tries to route anger in that venue
[12:42] {Threei} it's very nearsighted policy
[12:42] {Threei} and will backfire badlky
[12:42] {Les} I remember this guy answering questions from audience for last election
[12:43] {Les} woman asks him "what am I supposed to do about work in aweful state of italian economy"?
[12:43] {Les} Berlusconi smiles and says " you need to marry rich italian man"...
[12:43] {Threei} clap clap
[12:43] {Les} and the bozos still voted him in
[12:44] {Les} so maybe he's not smart
[12:44] {Les} just italian people been dumbed down a little...
[12:44] {Threei} you are widening the scope
[12:44] {Les} oops any italians here?
[12:44] {Threei} there are a lot of things playing in election
[12:45] {Threei} again: I am talking about this line of comments
[12:45] {Threei} it IS idiotic
[12:45] {Threei} in so many ways, it's hard to list them all
[12:45] {Threei} and they corner themselves by doing this kind of public conditioning
[12:46] {Threei} dopwn the road, either they act as economy requires
[12:46] {Threei} and get nailed for acting against their own words
[12:46] {Threei} or they follow the words
[12:46] {Threei} and worsen the state of economy
[12:46] {Threei} where is the upside?
[12:47] {Threei} they create lose-lose for themselves
[12:48] {dino} les, you hit the point, govt's everywhere are dumbing down their citizens. if they are clueless they do not question what is going on
[12:49] {Threei} some govts don't even have to do anything to dumb the citizenry down {G}
[12:49] {nemo} rimm breaking out
[12:49] {Les} importantly though
[12:49] {Les} Berlusconi owns all the media in Italy as well
[12:49] {Les} so he can tell them whatever story he wants to
[12:50] {Threei} who cares... economy goes down, it all won't matter
[12:50] {Les} well
[12:50] {Threei} look at two more examples
[12:50] {Threei} 1 US
[12:50] {Les} I'd be happy to have cheaper rentals for summer
[12:50] {Les} so yes, would be good
[12:50] {Threei} Obama cornered himself with the same line of comments,
[12:50] {Threei} now he has BOTH sides unhappy
[12:50] {Threei} right - because he tries to supress business,
[12:51] {Les} cover NTAP .61. looking for reentry
[12:51] {Threei} left p- because he doesn't go far enough in doing so
[12:51] {Threei} 2. Canada
[12:51] {Threei} prime-minister refused to punish banks and assign any blame to them,
[12:51] {Les} bp
[12:51] {Threei} insisting that givt largesse is the root of the problem
[12:52] {Les} what is he stupid?
[12:52] {Threei} and that Canada was more or less immune because govt never went as far
[12:52] {nemo} SPY approaching 200 ma
[12:52] {nemo} right about here
[12:52] {Threei} his popularity is at the high
[12:52] {Threei} Cnada is stable
[12:52] {Threei} and most importantly,
[12:52] {Threei} his future actions are win win
[12:52] {Threei} because he will a) follow his words
[12:53] {Threei} and b) do what economy requires
[12:53] {Threei} now, who is stupid?
[12:53] {Threei} and btw,
[12:53] {Threei} while canadians tend to dislike him personally
[12:54] {Threei} he is widely credited for the right handling of the economy during crisis
[12:54] {Threei} cimpare it with:
[12:54] {Threei} 12:34] {Threei} 46% Oppose More Government Regulation of Financial System, 37% Favor
[12:54] {Threei} and this is after all the banks demonizing
[12:55] {Threei} how does it shape up for Nov election?
[12:55] {dino} chaos
[12:55] {dino} guess who's on tv?
[12:55] {Les} yeh but you know America is special case, don't you think?
[12:55] {Threei} lol dino
[12:56] {Les} I've never seen such ideology in a nation except US
[12:56] {Threei} what can I say
[12:56] {_josef} SLNN
[12:56] {Threei} europian ideology manifested through economikc policies comes to a head
[12:57] {dino} america is mad, thats what i se and hear. mostly because the idiots who broke the banks, etc are still in charge
[12:57] {nemo} frickin RIMM
[12:57] {dino} no accountability
[12:58] {Les} You are right. Europe trying to appease people through generous social spending is also ideological program
[12:58] {Les} destined to fail
[12:58] {Threei} exactly
[12:58] {Les} but without 7 aircraft carriers
[12:58] {Les} and 10000 nuclear weapons :)
[12:59] {Threei} do you know why?
[12:59] {magoo} obama killing rig here
[12:59] {Threei} or you seriously believe fairy tales about peaceful europians and war-loving americans?
[13:00] {nemo} 100 years war

[13:00] {Threei} - formally announces actions to improve regulation and safety of offshore drilling; confirms extending moratorium on new deepwater drilling permits for six months. About 37 ongoing deepwater operations will have to shut down for thourough inspections.
[13:01] {Threei} oh, and case you didn't know - he is angry and frustrated
[13:01] {dino} he's an idiot
[13:04] {Les} bp 45 b/d?
[13:05] {Threei} it's not a technical setup
[13:05] {Threei} it's being driven by this development
[13:05] {Threei} was looking breakupsih until president started talking
[13:06] {strider} bounce coming?
[13:06] {Threei} ummm
[13:06] {strider} after speech
[13:06] {Threei} you suggest to evaluate non-technical move my technical criteria?
[13:06] {strider} ???
[13:07] {larisa} my=by :)
[13:07] {Threei} right
[13:08] {magoo} \sh bp 45
[13:08] {magoo} wait .57 area
[13:09] {magoo} covered
[13:12] {strider} I don't understand what a 'technical move' is. I understand technicals as reading moves, whatever the reason. And that the reason is irrelevant from a technical point of view.
[13:13] {Threei} think of news development as interruption
[13:14] {Threei} that violatesd "normal" movement
[13:14] {Threei} normal being technical
[13:14] {Threei} if suddent news causes price shock,
[13:14] {Threei} is there any way to read that move in advance by technical methods of chart reading?
[13:15] {Les} ntap coming back down mags
[13:15] {Threei} see my point?
[13:15] {strider} not sure.
[13:16] {Threei} OK, look NTAP daily
[13:16] {strider} most big moves are news driven.
[13:16] {Threei} today's price shock is obviously news caused
[13:16] {strider} even smaller spikes can be.
[13:16] {Threei} could you read it yesterday by technical method?
[13:17] {strider} But I'm not suggesting that you read the initial move in advance. But it's just a case of capitulation is it not/
[13:17] {strider} ?
[13:17] {Threei} point is,
[13:17] {strider} It still forms a chart pattern.
[13:17] {Threei} when news is in developemnt
[13:18] {Threei} or stock is too hot right after the news
[13:18] {Threei} there are no technicals helping to read it
[13:18] {nemo} AWIAV?
[13:18] {nemo} :)
[13:18] {strider} gotcha.
[13:18] {Threei} BP is news is development
[13:18] {Threei} speech right now,
[13:18] {Threei} waiting for top kill results
[13:19] {Threei} NTAP will take a little while for the price shock to subside and normal trading to return
[13:19] {Threei} etc
[13:19] {Threei} sudden development interrupts normal process
[13:19] {Threei} in this particular case:
[13:19] {strider} I understand.
[13:20] {Threei} president starts speaking, BP drops
[13:20] {Threei} can you try and read the move by chart
[13:20] {Threei} or do you have to be careful of the next sentence leaving his lips
[13:20] {Threei} or announcement of top kill reults?
[13:21] {strider} so, to make an oversimplification, perhaps: Technicals trump news (most of the time); Big news trumps technicals.
[13:22] {Threei} I don't know if you can put it like this
[13:22] {Threei} they are interconnected
[13:22] {Threei} often it's not news itself
[13:22] {Threei} but perception
[13:23] {Threei} and how widely news was expected
[13:23] {Threei} and priced in
[13:23] {magoo} big rip RIG, was Long .20 out .73
