[13:42] {dino} pathetic
[13:43] {nemo} very typical for: 1. Socialist government, and 2. times of economic stress
[13:43] {nemo} Love Reagan's comment: "I
[13:43] {nemo} I'm from the government and we're here to help."
[13:44] {nemo} .63 next resistance spy, followed quickly by .73
[13:45] {dino} most feared words reagan said
[13:49] {Threei} IMO... sharp pullback is coming
[13:49] {Threei} then bounce, double top and reversal down
[13:49] {Les} UAUA 22 b/d?
[13:49] {Les} nice tight stop?
[13:50] {Threei} probably, but don't derive this play from the market behavior

[14:08] {nemo} stop above .86
[14:08] {magoo} vad, u like GS short or RIMM?

[14:11] {Threei} GS nears the high,
[14:11] {Threei} if can't break it, setup hunt is on
[14:12] {Threei} too fast
[14:12] {ese} Hey all....i'm outta here to some meetings.....cya tomorrow
[14:12] {nemo} stopped fcx
[14:12] {Threei} take care ese
[14:12] {ese} cya vad
[14:12] {ese} nemo
[14:13] {Threei} market stalled...
[14:13] {Threei} don't like it
[14:13] {Les} half out lvs. reducing risk
[14:15] {i2romantis} nice call on HAL short
[14:15] {nemo} rinse fcx
[14:16] {Threei} too bad GS didn't give easier indidcation around .50
[14:16] {Threei} that was such nice setup, double top at .60
[14:21] {Threei} okay
[14:21] {Threei} looks like our time's finally here
[14:21] {Threei} market breaks down decisively
[14:21] {Threei} LVS 1:1
[14:22] {Threei} if doesn't rinse, aiming for something like .10 - .20 as final target for covering
[14:23] {Threei} if rinses, will hunt for another entry
[14:24] {Threei} oh my
[14:24] {Threei} did I really hear this on TV?
[14:25] {Threei} we implemented discretionary spending freeze in the budget, and we are on the path to halving our deficit in 2013
[14:25] {Threei} it takes a lot to make me faint but it did the job

[14:26] {nemo} just words, crock of SHIT!!!
[14:26] {Threei} LVS: stop is above .50, bidding 1/4 at .28 and 1/4 at .17
[14:27] {Threei} (US) CNBC's Liesman: Chatter that Fed may cut paying interest on reserves "almost certainly untrue"
[14:27] {Threei} - Earlier vague chatter circualted that the market was rallying due to rumor that the Fed was going to eliminate the 25bps paid on banking industry's excess reserves
[14:27] {Threei} - Reminder overnight today's NYT: says in his comments Bernanke may talk about monetary policy options that are available to the Fed if the economy were to worsen significantly. (See our research note from Asia session under SHY)
[14:29] {Threei} balance out LVS
[14:30] {Threei} gotta sit this surge out and re-evaluate
[14:30] {nemo} yeah, tried to short fcx again, got out positive, but...
[14:30] {Les} DJIA bounce off yesterdays close
[14:31] {nemo} spy...that's it

[14:44] {nemo} ?
[14:45] {lasertrev} i told him "only room enough for one laser in this town"
[14:45] {nemo} oh...dave
[14:45] {nemo} got it

[14:46] {nemo} frickin' Ozzie, talking ghetto..wtf
[14:46] {Threei} just how long should I wait with trout in my raised hand?
[14:46] {Les} for Nemo?
[14:46] {nemo} depends on who you're thinking of trouting...
[14:46] {Threei} nah
[14:46] {Threei} waiting for davie to find the door
[14:47] {nemo} use a sledge hammer
[14:47] {nemo} fcx is a frickin' energizer bunny
[14:50] {Threei} well, SPY is back to high
[14:50] {Threei} incredible resilience
[14:51] {Threei} although as I look at daily, it doesn't feel like anything but bounce before further drop to me
[14:51] {Les} yeh but early bird getting no work today
[14:51] {Les} worm, not work
[14:57] {Threei} US Senate passes test vote on extension of unemployment benefits
[14:57] {dino} gut
[14:57] {strider} beer gut
[14:57] {Threei} .60 held as high on LVS
[14:58] {nemo} market going higher
[14:58] {Threei} will totally depend on whether market gives up ior breaks high,
[14:58] {dino} yes, but also my eatlier gut feel for market was correct
[14:58] {Threei} so decide bwteen these two:
[14:58] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .50 break if stays under .60
[14:58] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .60 break if stays above .50
[14:58] {nemo} support at .40 in strong market
[14:59] {strider} don't hve to decide. LVS will decide.
[14:59] {Threei} well, you still have fee will to decide whether you take any or just one of them
[15:00] {strider} do you have to think in order to decide?
[15:00] {Threei} sorry... yes
[15:00] {nemo} I'm screwed
[15:00] {Les} from the day you were born
[15:00] {nemo} let's ask Lari
[15:00] {Threei} lol
[15:00] {nemo} that sucked Les
[15:01] {strider} I think market's going up.
[15:01] {Threei} why.. I rather liked it
[15:01] {nemo} but guarantee, you'd like to be me tonight
[15:01] {nemo} hey, you need me
[15:01] {strider} that's a stretch, nemo.
[15:01] {Threei} strider, got a quote for you:
[15:01] {nemo} remember which side on which your bread is buttered
[15:01] {Threei} 'Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.' The Dude
[15:01] {nemo} no...it's not strider
[15:02] {strider} Send me her picture, I'll decide.
[15:03] {nemo} dcc dude
[15:03] {Threei} market became a bit more frisky
[15:04] {Threei} time to make bets?
[15:04] {magoo} which way into close is question
[15:04] {Threei} mine's red close, -20 or 30
[15:04] {Threei} dino and larisa kill it lately with their bets
[15:05] {strider} get out of the way, vad. Here comes the train.
[15:05] {Threei} LVS triggered long side
[15:05] {nemo} he'll be fine...just use his head
[15:06] {Threei} (KS) US Govt official: North Korea could move forward on its ultimate goals through attacks on US allies (related USD/KRW USD/JPY EWY )
[15:06] {Threei} what are its ultimate goals?
[15:07] {Les} no doubt some sort of anti-american activity
[15:07] {nemo} talking about Congress?
[15:07] {Les} could be in league with congress yeh
[15:08] {Threei} 1:1 LVS
[15:09] {Threei} barely flat after this play
[15:09] {Threei} would be deeper in green if scalped instead of taking half and getting stopped on the balance in two or three plays
[15:10] {Threei} but, that's the nature of the beast
[15:12] {dino} wow whr comeback
[15:12] {Threei} SPY new high, believe it or not
[15:12] {strider} HOG could close near hod.
[15:12] {Threei} LVS 1:2
[15:12] {nemo} goes to 108.12 at least
[15:13] {Threei} so... dino? larisa?
[15:13] {dino} ?
[15:14] {Threei} bets on fionish?
[15:14] {nemo} spy between here and 108.45
[15:14] {dino} dk, have to leave early
[15:14] {Threei} sure... take all the money from the pool, then leave
[15:14] {dino} gut, +100 dji
[15:15] {magoo} vad, would 150 kllaunch GS
[15:15] {strider} out HOG +.23
[15:15] {dino} gj
[15:15] {Threei} no way I'd take that mags
[15:16] {Threei} anything's possible but the risk is way beyond acceptable
[15:16] {larisa} wow, Argentina minus 23C ?? in Moscow it is +40c and over +30 for weeks.
[15:16] {Threei} huh?
[15:16] {larisa} South america record cold
[15:16] {Threei} I didn't think it ever -23 in argentina, lol
[15:16] {strider} out +1.00 AAPL
[15:17] {larisa} end of world is coming for sure :)
[15:17] {dino} well, ifa record, it wasn't, lol
[15:17] {Les} http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/7899939/World-on-course-for-hottest-year-since-1880.html
[15:17] {Les} was very cold winter here too
[15:18] {strider} look at HOG
[15:18] {Threei} how come record hot is the reaon to claim GW but record cold is not the reaon to dismiss it
[15:19] {Threei} reason that is
[15:20] {Les} could be El Nino, which messes with temperatures in a closer time frame
[15:21] {Les} http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/7896403/Coral-reefs-suffer-mass-bleaching.html
[15:21] {Les} things are hotting up
[15:26] {nemo} if it breaks .45 spy could go to 109
[15:28] {strider} reporting after the close: ALTR, AAPL, BSX, CTAS, FIS, LLTC, SLM, YHOO
[15:29] {strider} FCX reporting before open tomorrow.
[15:29] {magoo} can LVS take 25vvasd?
[15:30] {Threei} it can... but I wouldn't trade on that
[15:30] {Threei} anything can happen, this is not what we trade on
[15:31] {Threei} we trade on odds and risk
[15:31] {Threei} odds of such break and run are low and risk is enormous
[15:31] {strider} Can we trade on nemo? He's odd.
[15:31] {nemo} nice
[15:31] {larisa} too funny :)
[15:31] {Les} but funny
[15:31] {Threei} is he odd and risky?
[15:31] {dino} here comes 100
[15:32] {nemo} .45 on spy
[15:32] {nemo} brak through we might run to 109

[16:00] {strider} nemo, for you:
[16:00] {strider} DAdolf Grunbaum
[16:00] {strider} A question cannot be regarded as a well-posed challenge merely because the questioner finds it psychologically insistent, experiences a strong feeling of puzzlement, and desires an answer to it.
[16:00] {strider} If, in fact, ...(a man)...does not beat his wife, then it is not a well-posed question to ask him whether or when he stopped beating her.
[16:00] {strider} from Free Inquiry, Vol IX, no.4, p.50
[16:08] {nemo} hey dingleberry...depends on who is the hammer and who is the nail
