[13:04] {i2r} did you see GS???
[13:05] {Threei}  The Goldman Sachs Group Inc Hearing chatter circulating that company is again continuing efforts to comply with Volcker rule, through closing prop trading unit
[13:05] {Threei}  - Note: This chatter has circulated in the past, with JPM among the banks who have confirmed decisions to close their prop desks
[13:05] {jfjf64} out  b/e 2 piece
[13:07] {jfjf64} gs

[13:11] {nemo} yeah, saw that once, also, the Emerald Forest is cool too
[13:11] {nemo} However,  Peyote during a sweat lodge...I do not recommend
[13:12] {strider} I don't recommend a sweat lodge.:)
[13:13] {nemo} Unfortunately, or fortunately, when I go see my Indian friends, which is rather infrequent, they have a special one when I visit..
[13:14] {strider} hmmm...
[13:15] {nemo} Yeah, what am I gonna' do, say "no"
[13:16] {nemo} gs break of .86?
[13:16] {nemo} yep
[13:16] {strider} too wicked for me today.
[13:16] {jfjf64} im sick
[13:16] {nemo} I'm not a GS person myself
[13:17] {strider} incompatible with sweat lodges
[13:17] {nemo} nice call on my part though
[13:17] {nemo} Yeah, not sure what's worse, that, or cold meditation
[13:18] {strider} I usually just take vitamin C.
[13:18] {nemo} I don't get the choice
[13:18] {Threei} Short Setup: X  46 break
[13:18] {Threei}  half lot
[13:19] {nemo} two way vad?

[13:29] {nemo} I'm being an obnoxious wise ass dino
[13:29] {dino} ahhh, how did i miss that
[13:29] {strider} it's very subtle, easy to miss.
[13:30] {nemo} yeah...I'm as subtle as a 12 lb. sledge
[13:30] {jfjf64} looks  lk  c/h    x
[13:30] {nemo} look at .10 offers
[13:30] {jfjf64}   long
[13:30] {Threei}  I don't really get why GS would drop on that
[13:30] {Threei}  n wonder it totally recovered
[13:31] {Threei}  so what if they spin off trading department
[13:31] {nemo} those .10s got pulled
[13:31] {Threei}  it's not like they quit trading business
[13:32] {dino} the partners will own it privately
[13:32] {nemo} yeah, spinning it off the shareholders still own it
[13:32] {Threei}  banks, as I understand, are essentially told not to risk depositors' money in trading operations
[13:33] {strider} bwahahahahaha!
[13:33] {Threei}  thus not jeopardizing whole financial system by bad bets
[13:33] {nemo} spy forming a triangle that wll have to resolve fairly soon
[13:33] {Threei}  so they separate those,
[13:33] {Threei}  and we are back to what we had before the wall was demolished
[13:33] {Threei}  they'll have a bit less funds to operate with
[13:34] {Threei}  so what?
[13:34] {nemo} You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!

[13:39] {nemo} o.k. defecate or get off the pot time now
[13:43] {nemo} just a thought, watch for C&H off tna .27 pivot support
[13:45] {i2r} You can't handle the truth!
[13:46] {Threei}  lol
[13:46] {strider} maybe with gloves
[13:46] {Threei}  ox's Gasparino: US Treasurycould seek to combine the two GSEs

[14:01] {Threei}  for instance, idiots complaining that TTR is not about tape reading since it doesn't teach to read T&S

[15:44] {strider} ACAS AINV at hod
[15:44] {i2r} what a day, I was up, then down, then up again, all because I didn't want to take a couple of stops!
[15:44] {Threei}  well
[15:44] {Threei}  that will get you in troubles
[15:44] {Threei}  trust me on that
[15:44] {i2r} i saw that today
[15:44] {Threei}  and do tell me,
[15:44] {Threei}  when you refuse to take stop
[15:45] {Threei}  what is it, desire to trade without any single loss?
[15:45] {strider} oh boy

[15:46] {Threei}  it's just normal part of the process
[15:46] {Threei}  try to break the process and it will ruin you
[15:46] {Threei}  funny thing is,
[15:47] {Threei}  people are still arguing now and then, on different fora, about trading without stops
[15:47] {Threei}  as if it were something to discuss
[15:47] {Threei}  I long stopped participating in such dicussions
[15:48] {Threei}  just as one won't seriously engage in argument about whether earth is round
[15:48] {i2r} yep
[15:48] {Threei}  I may engage in trying to help one to place them right,
[15:48] {Threei}  or how to condition onelsef for keeping thwm,
[15:48] {Threei}  but not about whether they are necessary
[15:55] {Threei}  ok guys, thank you all
[15:55] {Threei}  we ended month admirably
[15:55] {Threei}  have a great relaxing long weekend
