[14:34] {Les} ah ok

[14:39] {strider} Question, Master vad:

[14:39] {strider} What do you think about ORCT as an overnight? Can find no news.

[14:41] {Threei} lemme look

[14:41] {strider} Resistance on daily back in Oct.

[14:42] {Threei} I've no idea strider

[14:42] {Threei} it can do whatever

[14:43] {strider} Are your overnights usu. backed up by news?

[14:43] {Threei} not necessary

[14:44] {Threei} but there is no setup on daily either, just a long green candle

[14:44] {Threei} and volume spike

[14:44] {Threei} can be euphoria just as well

[14:44] {strider} True. and strung out on the 3rd day of climb.

[14:46] {strider} Probably too late.

[14:59] {ese} my screens have totally stopped.......don't remember seeing it like this before...calm before the storm per chance

[15:04] {Threei} do we agree?

[15:04] {larisa} yes, but i doubt it will break

[15:05] {Threei} that's not a concern really... no break, no trade

[15:06] {larisa} why, it can be a short off 53 if no trend break :)

[15:06] {larisa} oops

[11:17] {Threei} this is beyond weird

[11:18] {Threei} if I am China, and I want to buy IMF gold, why on Earth would I want to announce that?

[11:18] {Threei} to trigger frontrunning and get higher price?

[11:19] {ese} someone explain that to me......am not gold follower so what are the implications

[11:19] {Threei} and isn't the source bizarre:

[11:19] {Threei} English language Russian news website citing Russia's Interfax as stating China

[11:20] {Threei} - Note: On 2/23 the China gold association commented that China would not purchase IMF gold as it may upset the markets; would continue purchasing gold mines internationally in efforts to grow gold reserves

Because the Commission erred in finding that the prior art taught all of the claimed elements of the 858 patent and incorrectly weighed the secondary considerations, this court reverses the Commissions finding that the 858 patent would have been obvious. Because the Commission also erred in claim construction for the 789 patent, in applying the ordinary observer test for infringement, and in applying the technical prong of the section 337 domestic industry requirement, this court reverses the Commissions determination on the 789 patent.
