Jul 22 2010

Classic summer trading day: slow, boring and profitable - IF you stay patient. That we did. Bore me with profits, and I'll yawn all the way to the bank.

Session Time: Thu Jul 22 00:00:00 2010

[08:02] {nemo} surprise surprise we gapped up overnight
[08:06] {Threei}  for no good reason too
[08:06] {nemo} snap back from Bernanke
[08:07] {nemo} remember half jokingly I said we should go long on the close ;)
[08:08] {Threei}  and I half jokingly thought you were insane
[08:08] {nemo} There's a difference between insanity and stupidity
[08:08] {nemo} I just happen to be both
[08:09] {Threei}  awww
[08:09] {Threei}  I typed that
[08:09] {nemo} beat you too it
[08:11] {Threei}  (US) Preview: Weekly Initial Jobless Claims due at 08:30 ET (12:30 GMT)
[08:30] {Threei}  *(US) INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 464K V 445KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS:4.490M V 4.590ME
[08:45] {strider} .
[08:46] {Threei}  good point
[08:47] {swil} good morning
[08:50] {Les} why only think half jokingly that nemo is insane?
[08:50] {Les} morning :)
[08:51] {Threei}  swil, les :)
[08:51] {Les} great book on Stalin vad, just got it today
[08:52] {Threei}  just because my range is between 40 and 60% of joke share in thinking
[08:52] {Threei}  you'll love it
[08:52] {Threei}  it's veryu different from your standard bio
[08:52] {Les} yes this guy can write a story
[08:53] {Threei}  and the best part is, it's not just a story
[08:53] {Les} but the anecdotal details from others who remember Soso, amazing sources he has...
[08:53] {Threei}  amazing amount of reserach in acrhives not so easy to reach
[08:54] {Threei}  plus what makes it unique for me is,
[08:54] {Threei}  he is not simply relies facts, and not just puts them together in a fascinating way,
[08:55] {Threei}  he really gets deep into inner logic of the character, his psychology,
[08:55] {Threei}  shows why he thought and acted as he did
[08:55] {Threei}  as you move throuigh book you'll find out that his behavior actually started making sense for you - providning you understood his way of looking at the world
[08:56] {Les} how interesting. I wonder if we read Nemo long enough, will we understand his way of looking at the world?
[08:56] {Threei}  accept his premises, and you will see that he cdouldn'rt act any different
[08:56] {Threei}  then the scary part comes:
[08:57] {Threei}  look through the same prism at the way some of current political figures think and act
[08:57] {Les} yeh I read the little story about his mum cleaning Jewish merchants' houses
[08:57] {Les} how he was beaten by his mother... ay ay ay
[08:58] {Les} curious to read a good bio on Hitler... wonder if there is one
