[08:30] {Threei} - The oil worker who survived the accident warned that it was a leak on the rig's safety device.
[08:30] {Threei} - The worker added that the problem hardware was switched off instead of being repaired.
[08:32] {hawk} ouch, that worked out well (pun intended)
[08:32] {Threei} no kidding
[08:33] {Threei} (UK) British Bankers Assn: Bank levies should be coordinated internationally, notes it is "committed to working with the govt on bank levies
[08:33] {Threei} what a dumb idea
[08:33] {Threei} - Important that international banks are not taxed multiple times in different nations.
[08:34] {Threei} no worry, in 5 years they are all will be canadian, brasilian and chinese banks
[08:35] {Threei} under the slogan "Tax this!"
[08:35] {hawk} lol
[08:36] {Threei} I mean, there is a reason why on Royal Caribbean cruise ships there are words Nassau Bahamas, right?
[08:43] {Les} morning
[08:43] {nemo} afternoon
[08:43] {Threei} les, nemo :)
[08:43] {Les} fixed my RAM problem
[08:43] {nemo} ?
[08:43] {Les} stopped using Microsoft's silverlight plugin
[08:43] {nemo} Vad :)
[08:44] {Les} got a screen full of laser charts now
[08:44] {nemo} can't use Freestockcharts now
[08:44] {Les} much easier on the computer's processor and memory
[08:44] {Les} why?
[08:44] {nemo} it runs on silverlight
[08:44] {Les} and...?
[08:45] {nemo} If you take the engine out of a car, what happens?
[08:45] {Les} you walk
[08:45] {Les} why did you pull silverlight?
[08:45] {nemo} I didn't
[08:45] {nemo} you did
[08:45] {Les} aaaaaaaaah
[08:46] {Les} I keep 2 screens, instead of 6 like before
[08:46] {Les} windows, not screens
[08:46] {Threei} silverlight is a memory hog
[08:46] {Les} i can see it is terrible
[08:46] {Les} having reduced its use
[08:47] {Les} but i love it's indicator layout
[08:52] {nemo} bidu breaking out again
[08:56] {Les} wondering if TZA has found a bottom on daily, somewhere around this .50 level
[08:57] {Threei} well, TZA is not a stock
[08:58] {Threei} your question is akin to "wondering if market has topped"
[08:58] {dptl} good morning
[08:58] {Threei} dp :)
[08:59] {Les} yep
[09:07] {RonS} gm all...fascinating to me that w/ the UK "austerity" measures that the fact is that government is the penultimate sacred cow. i mean for chrissakes even God only wants 10%.
[09:08] {Threei} Ron :)
[09:08] {Threei} whole "emergency budget" reads like nightmare coming true
[09:08] {Threei} they obviously are trying to reproduce canadian measures of 1990s
[09:09] {Threei} but the situation is very different
[09:09] {RonS} Canada has true resources.
[09:09] {Threei} that, and a lot more
[09:09] {RonS} small pop v. those resources
[09:09] {Threei} Canada hasn't had horrifically high taxes and incredibly high prices when started its austerity
[09:10] {Threei} so it was tough,
[09:10] {Threei} but it was not on top of tougher
[09:11] {Threei} UK being one of the most expensive places on the planet simply has less, or no, room to make life even more expensive
[09:11] {RonS} ...talk now about the loonie and the aussie dollar being "reserve" currencies. they're trying to kill you Vad...
[09:11] {Threei} sigh
[09:11] {Threei} it's just silly talk
[09:12] {Threei} CDN can't be reserve curency for the world
[09:12] {Threei} but of course, it will get a push out of this nonsense
[09:12] {RonS} i know, i know...just trying to heighten your consternation, or it is constipation?...
[09:13] {Threei} it's general contempt with the world
[09:13] {Threei} but I have had it for quite a while
[09:13] {Threei} so nothing really new :)
[09:14] {RonS} ...my theory is that everyone matches his/her genetics and personlaity for the age in which they live. Sometime it meshes, sometimes not. I, obviously live in the wrong time period.
[09:15] {Threei} which would you prefer?
[09:15] {RonS} ...but all revolutions have come from disaffected intellectuals.
[09:15] {Threei} CCL Reports Q2 $0.32 v $0.29e, R$3.2B v $3.3Be
[09:17] {Threei} CCL and RCL sell off
[09:19] {larisa} gm :)
[09:19] {magoo} mornink comrades (oldie)
[09:20] {hawk} but a goodie
[09:21] {Threei} larisa, magoo :)
[09:21] {RonS} ...reminds me of Rockie and Bullwinkle...and Boris and Natasha...
[09:22] {RonS} "fanmail from some flounder?"
[09:22] {lasertrev} morning
[09:22] {Threei} http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_michael_barone/obama_s_thuggery_is_useless_in_fighting_spill

[09:39] {Threei} RIMM, watch for double bottom closer to .20 - .25
[09:39] {RonS} Bernstein making neg V call....thinks yesterday's modification of Durbin Ammendment has negative implications for V (positive for MA) that the market has not picked up on......says V will lose its debit exclusivity with its issuers....."On the negative side, the new language incorporates a "no exclusive network" provision that we think could very substantiall

[12:33] {Les} that's not pivot. what is that
[12:33] {dino} wow dndn
[12:33] {Threei} US) President Obama: Insurance companies should not see the healthcare reform process as an opportunity for "unjustifiable" rate increases
[12:34] {Threei} he'll never get it
[12:34] {Threei} business moves accordingly to motivations you set,
[12:34] {nemo} dndn bounced at pivot support
[12:35] {Threei} should or should not has nothing to do wioth it
[12:35] {Threei} you make education loans easy - tuition fees increase
[12:35] {shorty} maybe he just says that so the majority thinks he cares?
[12:35] {Threei} you guarantee mortgage loans - housing price increase
[12:35] {Threei} start paying for health care - insurance premiums wil increase
[12:36] {Threei} economics work on motives, not on morals or ethics
[12:37] {Threei} whatever... it's all doomed anyway :)
[12:37] {Threei} (US) President Obama: - Tells CEOs of insurance companies that they will be required to publicaly justify any large rate increases
[12:37] {dino} oooohhhhhhhhh
[12:38] {Threei} as if they couldn't justify Earth being conus-shaped if there were profit in it
[12:38] {Les} nothing like a goodl old witch hunt
[12:38] {dino} all this guy does is try to verbally bully businesses

[13:05] {Threei} you assume he is any different?
[13:05] {nemo} perhaps...Stockman was under Reagan
[13:05] {Threei} all I heard from hi was very heavy ideological
[13:05] {Threei} from him
[13:05] {nemo} good soldier, so why is he leaving?
[13:06] {dino} because budget is out of control
[13:06] {nemo} yep
[13:08] {Threei} I can't help but draw this parallel, forgive me for a sideways comment
[13:08] {Threei} during Stalin times, when millions were sent to prisons and camps,
[13:08] {nemo} yep dino got the bottom on dndn
[13:08] {Threei} a lot of them were true believers
[13:09] {Threei} and comon refrain among them was:
[13:09] {Threei} this is some middle level folks that are doing this to us,
[13:09] {Threei} Stalin doesn't know, they decieve him,
[13:09] {Threei} if we only find the way to let him know, he will save us.
[13:10] {Threei} (of course letters by elatives to Stalin led to new arrests).
[13:10] {nemo} wow, cci broke 39
[13:10] {Threei} Now, read this by that gal who wrote a letter
[13:10] {Threei} "I feel really confused, I don't understand how something like this is possible. I can't imagine that at the top of the Obama administration that they realize that something like this is happening," Jamieson told CNN.
[13:11] {nemo} shallow end of the gene pool
[13:11] {RonS} they both should be arrested for ugly...
[13:11] {Threei} well, I wanted to laugh but then looked in the mirror and elected to shut up

[13:17] {Les} ok
[13:17] {nemo} spy dropping
[13:17] {Threei} overall, it's rather "short the bounces" than "buy the pullbacks"
[13:19] {Les} +.05 it is
[13:19] {Les} ty
[13:19] {Threei} I just typed this:
[13:19] {Threei} get out Les, IMO
[13:20] {Les} yeh thinking same thing
[13:20] {Les} having 3rd screen is making a difference
[13:20] {Threei} nornally, I'd say sell into spike over .40
[13:21] {Threei} but it's not worth the risk here
[13:21] {shorty} AONE Threei?
[13:22] {Threei} dog with fleas...
[13:22] {shorty} lol
[13:24] {Threei} US) Reportedly Senate negotiators on finreg bill rebuff effort to increase risk retention rules
[13:25] {Threei} Short Setup: APC .30 break
[13:25] {Threei} not a scalp if sets up and works
[13:26] {Threei} - The current Senate proposal is for banks to retain 5% of risk in securitized assets (i.e. "skin in the game")
[13:26] {Threei} more they tweak...
[13:27] {Threei} - Strong Canadian Dollar combined with low productivity and lagging US demand are creating drags on the recovery.

[13:32] {Threei} want to try and cover into sharp drop after loss of 42
[13:33] {Threei} FR) France Fin Min Lagarde: May pursue more austerity at upcoming G-20 , will push for banking tax
[13:33] {Threei} have they all lost their collective mind?
[13:33] {Threei} what in the world that idiotic tax is supposed to achieve?
[13:34] {Threei} if they are so eager to tax the greed, reckless behavior and disregard for econmic realities, why don't they tax themselves?
[13:35] {Threei} Govt announced new tax on governmental activites
[13:35] {Threei} when I see that, I'll believe in their sincere desire to tax the stupidity
[13:38] {dino} the way i see it 3i, is when half the people don't pay taxes, then govt can tax what itwants. plus when you have half not paying, you have effectively dumbed down the voters, hence they think these taxes are good. as for the politicians, they simply want that half of the voters, the ones not paying. bottom line, system is broken
[13:39] {Threei} it so is...
[13:39] {Threei} I no longer think it's fixable
[13:39] {Threei} it's beyond repair
[13:40] {Threei} and when I think what the only thing was that pulled US out of Great Depression and project this to today, I shudder
