Our readers will have no troubles recognizing this play, so in order to provide a raw material for learning purposes I will put minimum annotations on the chart. Hint: see price part of the chart for the one of triangle formations, and volume part to get a clue for the likely direction.

[11:19] {Threei} but those who feel they can give it a grade, consider a testimonial please
[11:19] {nemo} in sndk .21
[11:19] {Threei} price goes up to its originally intended on Jan 1,

[11:26] {jfjf64} you
[11:26] {Threei} you
[11:26] {Threei} are
[11:26] {Threei} welcome
[11:26] {jfjf64} always
[11:26] {jfjf64} respect
[11:26] {Threei} likewise
[11:26] {jfjf64} ya opinion
[11:28] {nemo} good boy sndk
[11:28] {davd} ie threei you don't think it will break above 1200 on s&p?

[11:30] {jfjf64} i want what ya smokin david
[11:31] {davd} sorry, break strongly above?
[11:31] {Threei} what I mean in that comment is:
[11:31] {Threei} CAT chart by itself looks nice for breakout,
[11:31] {Threei} but this kind of breaks requires market directional help
[11:31] {Threei} and at this point I can't rely on it,
[11:32] {Threei} market gapped up, help the gap nicely, returned to the high
[11:32] {Threei} which is more often a prelude to day-long stall
[11:32] {Threei} than to a continuing march up
[11:33] {davd} ii

[11:58] {Threei} can you think of better illurtration to "overbought get overboghter" than today?
[12:00] {dino} uti sm l .50
[12:02] {RonS} lol, dino is like a vulture who levitates the dead...

[12:03] {RonS} magician?
[12:04] {RonS} but levitation correct
[12:04] {RonS} y do i feel like jf?
[12:08] {Threei} EU) EU's Rehn: Euro bond proposals unlikely to receive support; but are an 'interesting idea'
[12:08] {Threei} (US) Treasury Sec Geithner: Tax negotiations over the 'Bush' tax cuts put "everything on the table"

[12:22] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bullard: Not opposed to ending dual policy mandate (jobs and price stability) - Fox Business News
[12:22] {Threei} - US economy is "very close" to seeing a strong recover in 2011.
[12:22] {Threei} - Opposes raising any taxes, calls on Obama Administration to extend tax cuts.
[12:22] {Threei} ***Reminder: On 11/17 Bullard stated that removing the dual mandate and moving towards single mandate of price stability is an 'interesting idea'
[12:26] {dino} bvn sm l .50
[12:27] {RonS} Congress passed those mandates in 1946...when did a single mandate become interesting? can these people ever quit sounding like morons?
[12:27] {dino} no
[12:27] {Threei} how can they?
[12:28] {Threei} see, on a personal basis most of them are bright
[12:28] {Threei} some are mornons to be sure, but that's rarher exception on such level
[12:28] {Threei} but consider the position they are in
[12:28] {RonS} ergo "sounding like"
[12:29] {Threei} deep inside, almost all of them know what a deep sh*t country is in, and most importantly - realize the role Fed played in it
[12:29] {Threei} so what are they to do, call for their own abolishment?
[12:29] {dino} and they played in it
[12:30] {Threei} right
[12:30] {Threei} also, as much asd I would be all for Fed abolishment,
[12:30] {Threei} two things give me pause
[12:31] {Threei} 1. making transition to a new system without causing total collapse is a task for giants - and we have none of those, all I see is ants
[12:31] {Threei} 2. who said central bank run by govt is going to be more resoonsible?
[12:32] {dino} it will not be
[12:32] {Threei} so what's the point? :)
[12:32] {dino} i'm not for abolishing fed
[12:33] {Threei} I am, ultimately
[12:33] {Threei} with eventual purpose in mind: stop meddling with rates
[12:34] {Threei} let market regulate them, and only take good care of rpeventing monopoly and collusions
[12:35] {Threei} the idea of a few people deciding on such major factor with no regard to market but based on their, a few peopl,e, views is abhirrent to me
[12:35] {Threei} abhorrent too
[12:36] {nemo} mos above 67

[12:43] {RonS} lol
[12:44] {nemo} stewy?
[12:44] {Threei} What could the big announcement be? Chances are it has something to do with the recent discovery by the NASA-led international Cassini-Huygens mission of a tentative atmosphere containing both oxygen and carbon dioxide on the surface of Saturn's moon Rhea.
[12:44] {RonS} always wondered why you resemble E.T.
[12:44] {Threei} sh*t

[12:46] {stewy} pondering my testimonial, one that threei requested
[12:46] {stewy} if i post it,
[12:46] {RonS} just call the cable company
[12:47] {stewy} threei will be editing heavily
[12:47] {Threei} it will contain that much swearing?
[12:47] {stewy} like that Cold poem?
[12:48] {Threei} I thought Taoist Trader course was more wordy {G}

[12:54] {harth} Awesome! Lot of thought required!
[12:54] {Threei} glad to hear
[12:54] {Threei} it will progress to more and more practical things
[12:54] {Threei} kind of going from forrest to the trees
[12:55] {Threei} laying foundation first, building walls and roof second
[12:55] {Threei} shaping up the interior then
[12:55] {Threei} and putting on landscaping options for curbe appeal :)
[12:55] {harth} Cool, I really don't want to put it down but a guys gotta sleep sometime:)
[12:56] {ese} " to take or not to take"....this is the question i ask of thee or wise and learned one......stld up .12 3k worth........hmmmmmmmm
[12:56] {Threei} sleep is overrated
[12:56] {Threei} just a few decades more, and we will have all the time for sleep we ever want
[12:56] {RonS} omg
[12:57] {RonS} that's why i started trading
[12:57] {RonS} said to self: why and who are you trying to impress?
[12:57] {RonS} ...in 50 years absolutely noone will give a sh&t what you did
[12:58] {RonS} Do what you want...
[12:58] {Threei} that's why I took to writing
[12:58] {Threei} at least something will remain for those few who still can read
[12:59] {Threei} but I completely on board with that view ron
[12:59] {harth} Same here
[12:59] {Threei} do what you enjoy
[12:59] {Threei} there are always people here and there, especially on internet forums, who take this qeird line of attack:
[13:00] {Threei} weird
[13:00] {Threei} why would you want to write trading books, courses, give seminars, teach, run the room, if you can jjst trade for yourself?
[13:00] {Threei} obviously the retuirn from trading dwarfs all that
[13:01] {Threei} I have very simple answer:
[13:01] {Threei} because I enjoy doing all that
[13:01] {RonS} but who would be the audience for your jokes?
[13:01] {Threei} that too
[13:01] {Threei} who else I could make listen to those
[13:01] {Threei} some like trading,
[13:01] {Threei} some teaching in all its forms,
[13:01] {Threei} some like writing or public speaking
[13:02] {Threei} I happen to like all of that
[13:02] {Threei} and yes, I am a freak who enjoys public speaking
[13:02] {Threei} so I try to do all that
[13:02] {Threei} why do I make photos?
[13:02] {dino} uti to flat
[13:02] {Threei} they take a lot of time, and miniscule income I make of them does not even pay for gear
[13:02] {dino} bvn too
[13:04] {Threei} but my photos won three contests, published on many websites and in some magazines, used by designers in various venbues
[13:04] {Threei} and I am compiling a photo book
[13:04] {Threei} there are galleries that expressed early interest in a few of them
[13:04] {Threei} this is just so satisfying
[13:05] {Threei} probably impossible to undertsnad for those who ask that question measuring every possible return in dollars only
[13:06] {dino} vad, you're getting deep
[13:06] {Threei} done with that, sorry
[13:06] {Threei} back to my normal shallow self
[13:06] {dino} just busting you buddy
