Session Time: Wed Jul 07 00:00:00 2010
[08:34] {Threei} XNPT halted,
[08:34] {Threei} study results look catastrophic on a first read
[08:34] {Threei} I mean, as if this was not enough:
[08:34] {Threei} The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the number of migraine headache days during the last four weeks of treatment prior to taper. GSK1838262 did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement over placebo on the primary endpoint
[08:34] {Threei} we also got this:
[08:35] {Threei} Eight patients who received GSK1838262 and two who received placebo experienced serious adverse events during the trial. Of these events, two were deaths in patients receiving GSK1838262
[08:35] {Threei} I'd call it rather significanrt adverse effect...
[08:36] {hawk} lol, pretty much the most significant adverse effect
[08:36] {Threei} although they add:
[08:36] {Threei} One was due to bronchopneumonia and was assessed by the investigator as not related to the study drug. The second death resulted from an accidental overdose involving medications other than GSK1838262, but the relationship of this event to the study drug could not be established.
[08:36] {Threei} but still
[08:37] {Threei} BP sudden selling
[08:39] {Threei} but hawk... let's not exaggerate:
[08:39] {Threei} The most common adverse event was dizziness, which was generally mild or moderate and did not lead to discontinuation in the majority of patients
[08:39] {Threei} :)
[08:41] {hawk} Hmm, i'm usually dizzy anyways, so doesn't sound so bad
[08:42] {Threei} that's what I mean
[08:44] {Threei} if simple watching TV when they comment on politics of finance cause me dizzines, how bad that drug can be really
[08:54] {hawk} I'd imagine if you were holding XNPT right now you'd be a little dizzy
[08:55] {nemo} Vacation day for us...No Les

[12:20] {ese} lol
[12:22] {Les} RIG
[12:23] {nemo} just hop on a pullback to trend...having sai that, you might want to watch it's behavior around R2, because it looks like spy might challenge the highs at that time
[12:23] {nemo} o.k. Leslie?
[12:23] {Les} huh?
[12:23] {nemo} RIG
[12:23] {Les} yeh
[12:24] {nemo} just my opinion, and we know what those are
[12:24] {Les} sound investment ideas?
[12:24] {nemo} no, the trade idea
[12:24] {nemo} I don't invest
[12:41] {Threei} will we erevrse today??
[12:42] {nemo} imo...no, hold range or higher
[12:44] {Les} was reading article by private firm yesterday. they checked the reversal we had yesterday against database of comparable moves
[12:44] {Les} found that market almost always moved higher following day
[12:44] {Les} didn't wanna believe it, but...
[12:44] {Threei} always?
[12:44] {Threei} no such thing in the market
[12:44] {Les} 1 exception
[12:47] {Les} sorry, here is the original. not so cut n dried:
[12:47] {Les} http://www.businessinsider.com/todays-pullback-may-not-be-all-bad-news-2010-7
[12:49] {Threei} May Mean
[12:49] {Threei} I'll venture to say, today's rally may mean tomorrow we end red
[12:50] {Threei} and if we don't - which part of MAY don't you get...
[12:50] {Les} yeh so its a coincidence. whatever
[12:50] {Threei} maybe, may be not,
[12:50] {Les} :)
[12:50] {Threei} it's just not the study I can verify even remotely
[12:50] {Threei} too much slack
[12:51] {Threei} nothing is quantified
[12:51] {Threei} "reversal like we had today" - can you imagine how many variables can be squeezed in this definition? :)
[12:53] {Threei} Short Setup: BIDU .70 break half lot
[12:53] {Threei} if stays under .85
[12:58] {Threei} that hug bid at .73, if broken, can go in
[13:00] {jfjf64} in
[13:00] {Les} fake bid
[13:00] {strider} was fake bid
[13:00] {nemo} no
[13:00] {Les} it was you nemo?
[13:00] {nemo} no
[13:01] {nemo} yeah, I'm gonna' buy 100 lot
[13:01] {Les} get a bloody sense of humour about ya!
[13:01] {nemo} breaks at lunch time
[13:01] {nemo} no humor regarding money
[13:01] {Threei} kidding?
[13:01] {Threei} there is nothing funnier in the world
[13:02] {nemo} well yeah, if you're the USD
[13:02] {nemo} out
[13:04] {nemo} bidu will break 70 today
[13:14] {nemo} 1/2 out bidu .25
[13:14] {nemo} in 70 break
[13:16] {nemo} ehhhh. all out .25
[13:17] {nemo} lunch break Vad ;)
[13:17] {Threei} well... some of them work
[13:17] {Threei} and sometimes it rains
[13:18] {nemo} nah...look at the 15 minute chart on bidu and the spys...the spys break their level everything else was going with it.
[13:29] {ese} ok ...off to the doctor for a check up...see you in a bit
[13:29] {Threei} take care ese
[13:33] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .40
[13:34] {Threei} if stays under .50
[13:41] {strider} short gs .64 stop .80
[13:43] {Threei} let's recalibrate LVS
[13:43] {Threei} .45 break
[13:45] {Threei} come on market
[13:45] {Threei} roll over and die
[13:46] {Threei} invalidated
[13:46] {strider} stop gs .83 -.19
[13:51] {Threei} Short Setup: HAL .60
[13:52] {Threei} if stays under .70
[13:57] {Threei} needless to say
[13:58] {Threei} if first half of the day went under the slogan "take profit", second is all about "invalidated"
[14:02] {strider} lon g .GS .71
[14:02] {strider} stop .60
[14:04] {strider} stop .55
[14:12] {Threei} I don't bel;ieve we will end up like this
[14:12] {Threei} reversal must be in cards
[14:12] {Threei} if only to lure in new shorts
[14:13] {_srdalt} sorry ım new what is gs , hal, lvs :)
[14:13] {Threei} stock symbols...?
[14:15] {Les} GS vad, .50?
[14:15] {Les} small shares
[14:16] {Threei} I'd prefer short into bounce
[14:16] {Les} cool
[14:16] {Threei} as all volatile names, GS doesn't respond well to such breaks
[14:16] {Threei} snapbacks are too wide
[14:16] {strider} tell me about it.
[14:16] {strider} Oh, you just did.
[14:17] {Threei} remember the mantra about momos: "no breaks, pullbacks only"?
[14:17] {Threei} applicable to all volatile moves
[14:17] {Threei} sometimes they give tight consolidation that can be played normal way
[14:18] {Threei} but that's rather exception
[14:24] {nemo} look at 71 level bidu
[14:24] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .70
[14:25] {Threei} come on market , it's high time to retreat a bit
[14:25] {Threei} stop is obvious
[14:26] {Threei} 1:1
[14:34] {Threei} 1:2
[14:34] {Les} of course this is the time that I am frikin eating. sheesh
[14:35] {nemo} yeah...tough to trade when you're down on all fours
[14:35] {Les} wow GS went out with a whimper
[14:35] {hawk} lol
[14:35] {Les} that was pathetic
[14:35] {nemo} you forget...we saw your picture
[14:42] {strider} BIDU
[14:50] {Les} http://mondial2010.tsr-rsr.ch/
[14:51] {strider} cette videio n'est pas accessible
[14:52] {Les} frikin tv and their old world licensing system.
[14:52] {Les} no wonder people pirate stuff nowadays. with stupidity like that
[14:53] {Les} 20 mins. into Germany Spain semi final
[14:53] {Threei} FDA Official: Risks associated with Fen-Phen are unique and will not impact review of Vivus or Arena medications
[14:54] {Threei} that's VVUS spike
[14:55] {Les} wfc hod
[14:55] {Les} 3rd attempt at break
[14:59] {strider} FCX not participating
[14:59] {nemo} well, it's up 5.5%...that's not bad
[15:00] {strider} mean just in last few minutes of rally.
[15:00] {nemo} pause that refreshes...
[15:01] {strider} wants to go back to the barn.
[15:02] {gregns} is anyone still in LVS
[15:03] {Les} no I was on all fours apparently
[15:03] {strider} tmi :(
[15:03] {Threei} wow VVUS
[15:08] {Threei} momo
[15:08] {Threei} pullbacks are being bought
[15:09] {Les} IN
[15:10] {Les} just kiddin. I miss the magoo humour
[15:10] {strider} No. This is like shooting a deer, Les. You can't put it back.
[15:11] {Les} course you can. send it to a taxidermist
[15:11] {strider} No taxis in the woods.
[15:12] {Les} hillbilly humour huh...
[15:12] {Les} how's weather your way st
[15:12] {Les} steaming like Nemo?
[15:12] {strider} Pretty nice, actually.
[15:12] {Les} you in mountains?
[15:12] {strider} No rain for several days. Mid-80s
[15:12] {Les} that's our normal summer
[15:13] {Les} but getting a bit crazy here
[15:13] {strider} long VVUS .98
[15:13] {Threei} a little far from pullback bottom
[15:13] {strider} yes, it is.
[15:14] {strider} But didn't know that was the bottom when it happened. :)
[15:14] {Les} where vad? .80 break?
[15:14] {Les} recross
[15:15] {Threei} desirably
[15:16] {Threei} better yet, sharp dive to .70
[15:16] {strider} stop .79
[15:17] {strider} OK. That is not the most right I've ever been.
[15:19] {Les} 80 it was. missed it
[15:19] {nemo} o.k. time for me to leave...c u 2morow
[15:19] {Threei} take care nemo
[15:19] {Les} ciao
[15:22] {Les} vvus b/d time?
[15:23] {Threei} toughie
[15:25] {strider} vad, do you regard GS as pretty much always a momo?
[15:26] {Threei} well... as a thin volatilie stock
[15:26] {Threei} which means it does have some traits of momo
[15:28] {strider} Have you ever looked at pair trading?
[15:29] {strider} Looked at= tried it?
[15:30] {Threei} different people put different meaning into that term
[15:30] {strider} k
[15:30] {Threei} what exactly do you mean?
[15:30] {strider} Buying one stock and shorting another at the same time
[15:30] {Threei} why?
[15:30] {strider} Complicated to explain.
[15:31] {strider} But on the assumption that they move in some tandem way.
[15:31] {Threei} so one serves as a hedge for another
[15:31] {Threei} so how do you profit?
[15:31] {strider} And they've gotten away from each other.
[15:31] {Threei} ahh
[15:31] {strider} That they'll move back closer together.
[15:31] {Threei} coupleng.decoupling
[15:32] {strider} Didn't I say that? :)
[15:32] {Threei} good luck with that
[15:32] {Threei} original premise is false
[15:32] {strider} uh-oh.
[15:32] {Threei} it's vased on assumption that there is some historic relation
[15:33] {Threei} and it should be restored when hey deviate from it
[15:35] {Threei} amazingly, market ends at the high
[15:35] {Threei} in reality, we see these relations changing all the time
[15:36] {Threei} between currencies, commodities, stocks
[15:36] {strider} right.
[15:36] {Threei} not to go far in search of an example,
[15:36] {Threei} how common knowledge is that gold and USD move in inverse relation?
[15:36] {Threei} and how often have we seen them moving in tandem?
[15:39] {Threei} wow
[15:39] {Threei} dose of idiocy waieted almost till the end of the day to be injected, but it's a very large dose:
[15:39] {Threei} (US) Fed's Kocherlakota: Financial institutions should be taxed based on the risk they create
[15:39] {Threei} - Getting the tax right would cover the true cost of risky activities
[15:39] {Threei} - Bailouts of financial markets are inevitable, no legislation could eliminate market crises.
[15:40] {Les} not sure he's properly considered these comments
[15:42] {Threei} I am sure he is an idiot
[15:45] {Les} ok. I am off to Italy. c u's on Monday the 19th
[15:45] {Threei} have fun
[15:45] {larisa} bye les
[15:45] {Les} I suck and am definitely returning to paper trading except for your calls
[15:46] {Les} ciao
[15:46] {strider} Have a good trip, les.
[15:47] {Threei} (GR) Greek Parliament approves preliminary pension reform law, part of austerity measures
[15:47] {Threei} - Vote was 159 to 137
[15:47] {Threei} - For the bill to become law, it will need to pass a second vote on Thursday; also the day of the 24 hour strike organized against the pension reform
[15:54] {strider} GS hits 136
[15:56] {Threei} thank you all
[15:56] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[15:56] {strider} thanks vad
