Jun 30 2010

We stayed picky and careful, so hit it with 100% success rate second day in the row. Disappointing part? No interesting charts again, just your average "another day in the office" stuff.

Session Time: Wed Jun 30 00:00:01 2010
[08:11] {nemo} hey dunedin
[08:11] {nemo} let's hope Les is taking the day off
[08:27] {Les} http://true-turtle.livejournal.com/85315.html
[08:27] {Les} anti-pirate operations, russian style
[08:28] {Les} afternoon all
[08:28] {nemo} urinate off!
[08:29] {Les} haha given the extreme censorship practised here, a good choice of word
[08:31] {Threei}  Fitch sees global recovery on track, driven by emerging market economies; downside risks are intensifying
[08:31] {Threei}  - The global recovery has strong momentum, and Fitch's base case is that global GDP will grow 3.1% in 2010, after contracting 2.5% in 2009, helped by a rebound in world trade, a turn in the inventory cycle and accommodative fiscal and monetary policies.
[08:31] {Threei}  - Emerging market (EM) economies are providing the main impetus to growth, helped by a gradual recovery in US consumption and a strong rebound in Japan. However, activity in the euro area remains sluggish.
[08:32] {Threei}  - The elevation of Euro area sovereign debt fears and renewed financial market volatility has increased the risk of a double-dip recession, a scenario that would feed back adversely on bank asset quality and public debt dynamics.
[08:32] {Threei}  - While abrupt fiscal tightening before private sector demand has gained traction may reduce growth in some economies, the announcement of credible strategies to ensure medium term public debt sustainability should help underpin confidence and set the scene for private sector-led expansion to emerge in the advanced economies from 2011.
[08:33] {Threei}  *(US) JUN ADP EMPLOYMENT CHANGE: 13K V 60KE
[08:33] {Threei}  - Prior revised higher from +55K to +57K
[08:35] {strider} NFLX
[08:37] {Les} this ADP report, if i understand correctly, is a precursor to friday jobs report? seems rather gloomy as a prediction
[08:37] {Threei}  for both Fri and Nive election
[08:37] {Threei}  Nov
[08:39] {Les} ok I get it, last months data. wow friday could ugly
[08:45] {Les} CMG's daily just got interesting with a broken trendline on vol. gonna treat it like a GS stock
[08:52] {Threei}  Fed's Duke: Bank lending falling significantly
[08:53] {Threei}  why? they don't lend or borrowers don't borrow?
[08:53] {Threei}  ahha, more details follow
[08:53] {Threei}  - Banks should return to creditworthy borrowers
[08:53] {Threei}  - It will take years for pre-recession lending levels to return
[08:53] {Threei}  - Loan demand may be improving
[08:53] {Threei}  - Notes fewer lenders are tightening standards
[08:53] {nemo} they'll never get back to pre-recession levels...those were absurd
[08:54] {Threei}  no kidding
[08:54] {nemo} watching rimm short and LVS long
[08:54] {Threei}  what's the point of the whole exercise in "more discipline" if we return to those levels
[08:55] {RonS} http://noir.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aKYyW0c64rJE
[08:55] {RonS} gm
[08:55] {Threei}  Ron :)
[08:57] {dptl} morning
[08:57] {Threei}  dp :)
[08:57] {RonS} i like bidu and dndn long...
[08:57] {Threei}  overall, if you step back and look at the whole thing as detached observer, cycle becomes quite obvious:
[08:58] {RonS} leemings, sheep, or cattle...the herd runs together
[08:59] {Threei}  corrosion of socialism manifested in unfunded obligations that at some point overwhelm the ability to stay afloat ruined Eastern Europe,
[08:59] {RonS} leemings = lemmings
[08:59] {Threei}  as soon as celebration in the West ended, this corrosive contagion spread out there and is about to finish its destructive job,
[09:00] {Threei}  Asia takes its turn with "can do" attitude and economic rise,
[09:00] {Threei}  if it succeeds (and it likely will), it will dominate the world's economic growth for a few decades,
[09:01] {Threei}  they corosion will come there, while common sense slowly returns to those fallen before
[09:01] {Les} does this mean I have to move to China now?
[09:01] {nemo} please do
[09:01] {Threei}  lol
[09:01] {Les} lol
[09:02] {nemo} I know some people in Shanghai that would....er....take care of you...yeah, that's it...take care of you
[09:03] {Les} always the socialite, aren't you
[09:03] {Les} you polished that sigg today?
[09:03] {Threei}  urgent return of common sense, enduring some seriously tough times in the name of austerity now could turn things around for the West,
[09:03] {Threei}  but how likely is it to happen?
[09:03] {nemo} socialite?
[09:03] {nemo} no, oil it and switch out mags every 3 months
[09:04] {Threei}  that "take care of you" reminded me a russian joke
[09:04] {Threei}  guy phones emergency, screams about his buddy that doesn't breathe gets blue in the face and generally seems to be dead or dying
[09:05] {ese} morning
[09:05] {Threei}  ese :)
[09:05] {Threei}  operator sends paramedics, meanwhile instructs him,
[09:05] {Threei}  saying "go back to him, make sure he is dead"
[09:05] {Threei}  guy shrugs, goes back, operator hears a gunshot,
[09:05] {Threei}  guy returns and says "allright, he IS dead"
[09:06] {Threei}  *IMF RESERVE Q1 CURRENCY REPORT: EURO SHARE OF GLOBAL RESERVES DECLINES TO 27.2%; USD SHARE DECLINES TO 51.5%
[09:06] {Les} the ghost of stalin lives in modern russian culture I see
[09:07] {Threei}  not just Stalin
[09:07] {Threei}  there were enough murderes before and after
[09:08] {Threei}  and yes, mass incarcerations created widespread prison culture, more mainstream than in normal societies,
[09:09] {Threei}  where a lot of things you generally hear in prison-related world became almost a normalized part of daily culture
[09:09] {Les} so America did learn something from Soviet Union
[09:09] {larisa} gm:)
[09:09] {Threei}  correction: USD SHARE DECLINES TO 61.5%
[09:09] {Threei}  larisa :)
[09:10] {Threei}  not in this regard Les
[09:10] {nemo} TSLA riding 25.50
[09:10] {Threei}  mass incarcerations in US never had place on a scale anywhere even close
[09:11] {nemo} no, but the cultural impact of incarceration on the black community is widespread
[09:11] {nemo} that's where the whole baggy pants hanging off the ass started
[09:11] {nemo} prison wear
[09:11] {Les} if we are talking about Stalin, that I understand.
[09:11] {Les} But more recent decades, prison % was still high?
[09:11] {Threei}  that's when it started
[09:12] {nemo} ?
[09:12] {Les} 15:10 Threei mass incarcerations in US never had place on a scale anywhere even close
[09:12] {Les} u drinking vodka already?
[09:12] {Threei}  don't know... but it was more in line with normal, not millions upon millions sent to camps for no reason other than create cheap labor
[09:12] {nemo} that means I would have had to stop in the first place
[09:13] {RonS} ...it became legitimate in Russia w/ Peter the Great...
[09:14] {nemo} even Zhukov cut trees for the glory of the proletariat
[09:15] {Les} scares me you guys know so much about totalitarian history
[09:15] {nemo} who?
[09:17] {strider} .
[09:17] {strider} morning all.
[09:17] {Threei}  strider :)
[09:17] {strider} howdy:)
[09:18] {RonS} history Les...non-specific
[09:18] {RonS} the mind-blower is that in terms of geologic or universal time all of this is much ado about nothing...
[09:18] {RonS} got to be a Soviet joke abut that...:D
06[09:18] * nemo slaps RonS around a bit with a large Encyclopedia of philosophy
[09:19] {Threei}  I have a better joke for you:
[09:19] {Threei}  US) Fed's Duke: Could take "really quite a while" for mortgage credit to recover
[09:19] {RonS} nihilism
[09:21] {Threei}  - Fed should not start selling assets until after raising interest rates.
[09:21] {Threei}  - Fed will communicate in advance its intentions and will not surprise markets.
[09:21] {dino} gm all
[09:22] {Threei}  dino :)
[09:22] {RonS} i wish i could get paid for stating the obvious. These Fed guys are absolutely specious.

[15:22] {Threei}  here is the thing:
[15:22] {Threei}  US) US House of Reps reject the "Tax Extenders" bill, as the Senate did last week
[15:22] {Threei}  - Bill would have extended unemployment benefits; impose taxes on fund managers, increase oil taxes
[15:23] {Threei}  I guess market seriously has no idea what consequences of this could be
[15:27] {dino} i don't believe any of this really matters to markets daily 3i. these markets are just random. down gets more down, up gets more up. gaps always fill
[15:28] {dino} the investor days are over
[15:31] {Threei}  well, it still reacts on this moment news
[15:31] {Threei}  TM Reportedly House committee asks for more documents from Toyota on break override system

[15:34] {Threei}  what?
[15:35] {dino} amzn
[15:37] {Threei}  US Rep Frank: Bank fee has been removed from the legislation, should have enough votes to pass Senate
[15:37] {RonS} amzn...look at the 1 yr daily...it has a gap to fill
[15:38] {RonS} banksters win!
[15:38] {Threei}  I'd say, citizenry wins
[15:38] {Threei}  that fee would have been paid by customers anyway
[15:38] {Threei}  and it has a lot of negatve implications
[15:39] {Threei}  vindictive and meaningless act
[15:39] {Les} DoJ monitoring asset sales of BP? how bizarre
[15:39] {Threei}  that whole line is very strange
[15:40] {Les} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGUMsxVt4YU
[15:41] {Threei}  - Reminder: Earlier today certain congress members such as US Senator Brown (R-MA) noted that they would not vote for the FINREG if it included a $19B bank tax
[15:42] {nemo} protecting Fidelity
[15:42] {RonS} ...the DoJ is a criminal enterprise under Holder and the O, imo
[15:42] {RonS} State Street nemo
[15:42] {dino} agree, you are guilty until proven innicent
[15:42] {dino} innocent
[15:43] {nemo} that too ron...
[15:43] {Threei}  so true
[15:43] {dino} i'm the most disgusted i have ever been w/govt. the system is brutally corrupt
[15:44] {Threei}  I am disgusted second-best so to speak
[15:44] {Threei}  I have a Soviet govet gisgust training
[15:44] {Threei}  govt
[15:44] {dino} they are ruining everything
[15:44] {Threei}  that still takes prize
[15:44] {Threei}  but I have to admit, USA is catching up quickly under these folks
[15:44] {dino} yes
[15:45] {dino} lod's
[15:46] {Les} well perhaps it illustrates falsity of applying labels to politics
[15:46] {dino} well i was early, but -317 bday
[15:46] {Threei}  btw
[15:46] {Les} liberalism, communism, theoretical subjects but a blur in practice
[15:46] {Threei}  anyone noticed Prez words in G20 speech:
[15:47] {Threei}  Next year I am going to present country with very difficult choices
[15:47] {nemo} comrade will become our official title
[15:47] {Threei}  I am amazed no comments appeared anywhere
[15:47] {nemo} that was on Drudge also
[15:47] {nemo} saw part of the speech on TV
[15:47] {dino} he's an idiot
[15:48] {Threei}  that blur can be oh so realistic, Les...
[15:48] {dino} ctrp 37.50s
[15:49] {Threei}  living through the practical implementation of all that, I seriously hope USA can back away fron the brink of falling into that trap
[15:49] {dino} rimm, what was gap nemo?
[15:49] {Threei}  'cause if not, you ain't see nothin' yet
[15:49] {dino} 48?
[15:49] {Threei}  wow TSLA
[15:50] {RonS} 13:15 RonS 1040 .spx break could turn murderous
[15:51] {nemo} I wouldn't call it murderous

[15:53] {Threei}  looks abiout right
[15:53] {dino} reading 840s lots of places
[15:53] {RonS} imputs = imputes
[15:53] {Threei}  but all these priojections are just that
[15:53] {Threei}  situation is highly liquid
[15:53] {nemo} probably those july lows lst year
[15:54] {RonS} lol...ya, it's de monet...
[15:54] {Threei}  and even if you get the eventual target right, the path to it is likely to be very thorny
[15:54] {nemo} I think you see it bounce at 96 area
[15:55] {dino} azn sm s .25
[15:55] {Threei}  look at TSLA
[15:55] {Threei}  fully oblivious towhat happens arounsd

Jun 28 2010

This is an example of so-called conservative entry (see http://blog.realitytrader.com/2007/07/how-aggressive-are-you.html for explanation). Other than that, it's a bounce-stall-consolidation setup with clearly defined resistance to break; very tight stop, about 10 cents, and nice reward.

[12:05] {Threei}  - Entering a period when the issue of whether to raise rates becomes a legitimate question.
[12:05] {Threei}  - Deflation fears are a bit over rated.
[12:05] {Threei}  - Softer US data and Europes debt problems have not substantially affected his outlook for continued growth in the US.
[12:05] {Threei}  - Not likely Europe problems could cause US credit markets to freeze up
[12:05] {Threei}  - FinReg bill does not eliminate the "too big to fail" problem.

[13:00] {Threei}  - Further expansion of the Fed's balance sheet would require "strict supervision," would need to be convinced the benefits of expanding balance sheet outweighed costs.
[13:00] {Threei}  - Fed funds rate will be the Fed's dominant tool moving forward.
[13:00] {Threei}  - Believes the Fed needs to clearly differentiate rate policy from balance sheet size and composition.
[13:00] {Threei}  - Current financial conditions are less supportive of growth, persistant high level market volatility could derail the recovery.
[13:00] {Threei}  - Inflation indicators remain subdued.
