[13:39] {Threei} unfreackingbelievable
[13:40] {Threei} now, this is truly interesting:
[13:40] {Threei} FinReg bill includes a provision that would freeze access to US markets by any nation that fails to impose similar financial reforms.
[13:41] {Threei} wow
[13:42] {Les} does that mean private investors of that nation?
[13:43] {Threei} it has so many possible implications and sound so vague, it's mind-bogglinh
[13:45] {dino} yeah, thats not good
[13:45] {Les} so the closure begins
[13:47] {Threei} for instance, country that does not impose bank tax
[13:48] {nemo} well, the bill does not limit leverage ratios, which means we end up bailing them out when they're leverage losses exceed their reserves yahoo
[13:48] {Les} haha backdoor investment to US markets. leveraged HB&B funds
[13:48] {Threei} yes, and if they really go ahead with the dumbest idea of creating "rescue fund", that's all but guarantees more failures and bailouts in the future
[13:49] {nemo} This is Congress, of course they will
[13:50] {RonS} ...some policy guy on TV said that most of this stuff is written so loosely that the bureaucrats will take years to figure out the exact implementation. In other words it is all smoke and mirrors, and nothing will change...
[13:51] {dino} most of it is, its for voters, so congress and prez can say they did something
[13:51] {dino} bs inotherwords
[13:52] {magoo} read rimm vad?
[13:52] {nemo} There is a reason the capitol is where it is....built on a swamp
[13:52] {Threei} none here

[14:01] {shorty} what kind?
[14:01] {RonS} 3i, celg .15 break if holding below .25 for short?
[14:02] {Threei} yes but keep shares smaller
[14:02] {Threei} can be very thin
[14:02] {ese} dino what were your winners.......wanna look at them
[14:02] {magoo} u like FCX LONG OR SHOT?
[14:03] {Les} s fcx .89
[14:03] {Threei} shot, yes
[14:03] {dino} itri, whr, fdx, multiple times
[14:03] {Les} stop above .10 small shares
[14:03] {Threei} no setup I'd define yet
[14:03] {ese} tks
[14:05] {ese} off the bottom basically on all 3 dino
[14:06] {dino} yes and we were whippy up/down so sell reloaded couple times
[14:06] {RonS} celg 1:1
[14:07] {dino} i think hawk and ron followed on few
[14:07] {Les} stopped fcx well that sucked as entry
[14:07] {ese} well done....
[14:07] {Threei} totally
[14:08] {Threei} not here nor there... not breakdown, not bounce
[14:09] {Threei} Moody's: Some provisions of the Financial Regulation (FinReg) bill could result in "disruptions" of the credit market
[14:10] {Les} so they'll make new regulations to fix disruptions of old regulations and all will be well
[14:10] {RonS} you mean someone read it. we need "no idiot left behind" for Congress. They must pass a test illustrating knowledge of bills , before passage. And they must do their own taxes.
[14:11] {Threei} of course new regulations will cvause new disruptions
[14:11] {Threei} but they can be taken care of as well, by means of newer regulations
[14:11] {Threei} with newer disruptions
[14:13] {dino} sm l itri .95
[14:16] {dino} brb
[14:16] {nemo} Hey Dino...we close the 109+ gap?
[14:17] {RonS} omg...back to the vortex...
[14:17] {nemo} dino dcc
[14:19] {dptl} good weekend all
[14:19] {RonS} cya dp

[14:20] {Les} ciao dp
[14:20] {shorty} you too dptl
[14:23] {magoo} lord vader, read rimm please
[14:23] {dino} cya dp
[14:24] {Threei} must be bounce finally,
[14:24] {dino} nemo rimm may fill that gap monday
[14:24] {Threei} .35 break maybe, if holdong .20 - .25
[14:24] {Threei} but deeper pullback would be my preference
[14:25] {Threei} from under .10
[14:25] {magoo} hold 53 would be mine
[14:25] {Threei} if holding 53 of course
[14:33] {nemo} so do we drop into the close, or get short covering
[14:33] {nemo} ?
[14:33] {nemo} bidu at support
[14:33] {Threei} imo, drop
[14:34] {RonS} fwiw copper came off .02 to 3.08
[14:34] {Les} fcx
[14:35] {dino} rebalancing of russell 1000 today, close up imo
[14:35] {nemo} already broke R3, don't know how much further today Les
[14:35] {Les} short
[14:36] {nemo} probably hangs around here for a while
[14:38] {nemo} just a thought les (ow) if the market tries to close the gap, fcx will probably go with it
[14:38] {Les} what price the gap?
[14:39] {nemo} 109.10 or so
[14:40] {Threei} PNC Ticks higher as CNBC's Cramer calls it the "only bank unscathed" by the FinReg bill (61.12, +2.05, 3.47%)
[14:40] {Threei} lol
[14:40] {Threei} whole FAS went up just the same
[14:41] {Threei} read this:
[14:41] {Threei} OECDs Gurria: Europe must demonstrate its ready to recap banks if stress tests go badly
[14:41] {Threei} tell me, they learned anything from the last few years?
[14:43] {nemo} politics is all that counts
[14:43] {nemo} if they PORK the voter later...who cares
[14:47] {Threei} (GE) German's Merkel: no G8 controversy over budget policy; US not opposed to European plans to cut deficits
[14:47] {Threei} - Notes there is still disagreement in the G8 over a potential financial transaction tax (Tobin tax)
[14:52] {ese} catch you all monday......i can't really find much.....to late in the day i think

[15:39] {RonS} c use peoples...have a good weekend. ;)
[15:39] {Les} ciao Ron
[15:40] {Threei} have a good one ron
[15:41] {dino} cya ron
[15:49] {Les} curious about the HFT theory
[15:49] {Les} if HFT is 60 - 70% of trading
[15:50] {Les} and these enterprises liquidate at end of day
[15:50] {Les} why isn't the market selling off?
[15:50] {Threei} because the theory is flat wrong
[15:50] {Les} I know the answer
[15:50] {Les} but obviously someone has stepped in today with real mondy
[15:50] {Threei} if that worked like this, market would go up in tghe morning and drop at the end of the day
[15:50] {Les} yeh
[15:51] {Threei} we don't see it
[15:51] {Threei} also,
[15:51] {Threei} who the heck would they buy from in the morning and sell to at the end of the day?
[15:51] {Les} yeh
[15:51] {Threei} if they trade 60-70% of the volume
[15:51] {Threei} who is counterpart?
[15:52] {Les} it does create more questions than answers...
[15:52] {Threei} overwhelming majority of people talking about HFT have no faintest idea
[15:52] {Threei} ther are no secretes about it, answers are right there for all to see
[15:53] {Threei} but instead of taking them, people construct all kinds of conspiracy theories
[15:54] {Les} yeh just realising it now. traders are holding their positions to some extent this friday close
[15:54] {Les} so it ain't the machines
[15:54] {Threei} we can talk about it next week during quiet marjet, but here is a little hint:
[15:54] {Threei} HFT traders buy and sell often for as little as penny and even less
[15:54] {Threei} of profit
[15:54] {nemo} going into EOQ mark up
[15:55] {Threei} so the idea that they run market somewhere
[15:55] {Threei} having directional impact on the scale of real market moves is ridiculous
[15:55] {Threei} but then again, so are about dosen of other ideas about it
[15:56] {nemo} I'm outta' here...nice weekend all
[15:56] {Threei} just a simple test for you:
[15:56] {Les} ciao
[15:56] {Threei} when you see someone sayong:
[15:56] {Threei} HFT bought so market went up
[15:56] {Threei} you know you can stop reading/listening
[15:57] {Threei} if HFT bought, HFT sold, bought and sold again before that guy even noticed anything, let alone wrote his post
[15:57] {dino} cya nemo
[15:57] {Threei} that's why it's HF t
[15:57] {Threei} OK guys, thank you all
[15:57] {Threei} have a great weekend
[15:57] {Threei} see you all on Monday
[15:57] {Les} no worries, you too
[15:58] {dino} i'm done too, thx all, good time
