[10:56] {daviddrosenfeld} i have one suggestion - vxx sucks les
[10:57] {Les} been a while since we trade vxx profitably david
[10:57] {Les} traded
[10:57] {daviddrosenfeld} track vix vs vxx it does not follow
[10:57] {Les} but as indication of nervous traders, it says something...
[10:57] {daviddrosenfeld} me too, a long while.
[10:57] {daviddrosenfeld} oh yes, of course as an indication. no question
[10:58] {Les} yeh. no vxx trade implied.
[10:58] {Les} market feels like its coiling up like a spring
[10:59] {RonS} Ocare is the biggest screw job in US history: Aetna dropping small co coverage in CO...affects 1200 companies, 5500 workers

[11:02] {Threei} now, this is interesting
[11:02] {Threei} (US) Fed's Kocherlakota: Not expecting an impact o inflation expectations from any quantitative easing - Q&A

[11:03] {Threei} no??
[11:03] {RonS} ...denver stroy on some hemopiliac kid who costs 40k/mo...paper says O care good since he will be covered indefinitely
[11:03] {dino} well, if he told truth, bond drop run would happen
[11:03] {Threei} well, I want to know how it's physically possible
[11:04] {RonS} now I am sorry someone wha a med condition but holy sh*&^, why do I have to pay for it?
[11:04] {dino} same w/housing crisis ron
[11:05] {dino} fosl was rinse too
[11:05] {Threei} GLD... hard to believe but the thing makes new highs
[11:06] {Les} commodities too. DBA...
[11:07] {RonS} ...but there is no inflation...
[11:07] {Threei} that part is seriously intriguing
[11:07] {dino} in things you need yes, things you want no
[11:07] {Les} inflation expectations...
[11:08] {Threei} how can it be that "any easing" had no impact on inflation
[11:08] {Les} denying the hyperinflation bugs rantings that Weimar Mk2 is coming?
[11:08] {RonS} good point Les...but my point is that there is inflation...just look at US taxes
[11:09] {Les} we know they want inflation
[11:09] {Les} my guess is they're denying runaway inflation expectations
[11:09] {Les} don't want to admit or see the next bubble already forming
[11:10] {RonS} when that actualy comes Les the bond market will be getting crushed
[11:10] {dino} salvation thru inflation les, they all want it, but won't admit it
[11:11] {RonS} there is no salvation, inflation crushes good people to pay for those bad and stupid, but i repeat myself
[11:11] {Les} sure. we know what is going to happen. but they're adamant that it ain't
[11:11] {dino} political salvation. deflation ends all
[11:12] {dino} bottom line they all want weaker dollar too, but will never admit it

[12:19] {Threei} no
[12:19] {Threei} don't do aggressive entry
[12:20] {Threei} 80 is resistance on both intraday and daily
[12:20] {Threei} it must be broken for the play to be on

[12:34] {Les} before shooting up like that
[12:34] {Les} .07 b/d maybe
[12:34] {Threei} .10 break may be viewed as one, but in reality this is not what you see real time

[13:56] {RonS} Radware (RDWR), down from $40 highs to $32.60 and bouncing off the 20 day EMA, is seeing bullish action with some traders speculating it could still receive a buyout offer, which was reported recently by Globes.

[14:34] {dino} lol
[14:36] {RonS} is CAT being sneaky or has it slowed due to the fact that the forex market slows this time of day?
