Dec 30 2010

Session Time: Thu Dec 30 00:00:00 2010
[08:47] {magoo} morning
[08:47] {Threei}  astute observation
[08:47] {magoo} lucky guess
[08:57] {magoo} APC vd. news
[08:58] {Threei}  nadarko Petroleum Corp Strength attributed to Daily Mail article asserting BHP is lining up a $90 a share cash offer- Note that in early September, The Australian newspaper suggested without citing sources that BHP was looking to acquire Anadarko.
[09:02] {Threei}  4.2 earthquake in Indiana
[09:03] {RonS} Touchdown Jesus fall from its pedestal?
[09:03] {Threei}  think it would be just 4.2?
[09:04] {RonS} hehe
[09:06] {magoo} news CHGS vad?
[09:06] {Threei}  is it right symbol?
[09:06] {magoo} yup
[09:07] {Threei}  yeah... dunno, my news systen has no recognition for it
[09:07] {RonS} China GengSheng Minerals Receives 2011 Fracture Proppant Orders Totaling $5.4 M From AMSAT Intl       12/21 06:00 AM

[09:08] {RonS} Buyers have flooded into the shares of China Gengsheng Minerals (CHGS:$2.6400,$0.5300,25.12%) in late U.S. pre-market trade, goosing the shares north from 3.09 to a recent high of 5.16. No news on the stock, but it's likely among a group of rare earth mining companies thought to benefit from China's move to cut its rare earth exports. Price: 4.81, Change: +2.
[09:09] {Threei}  mania in full bloom
[09:09] {Threei}  any stock with "rare earth" in profile doubles before anyone actually bthers to read what it acrually does
[09:09] {Threei}  if anything

Officials have talked before about adjusting the quota system, and there is no sign a decision is imminent. - The new plans involving alloys and separate quotas for heavy and light rare earths, if finalized, would mean even stricter control by Beijing on the resources as it closes potential loopholes for exporters to sidestep regulations

Dec 28 2010

Thin holiday trading created an environment where classic setups had to be tweaked somewhat, which we did over last week or so. Today though we've got one "textbook type," so I am glad to present it as a sign of normalcy - "whatever your normal is," to quote a Tylenol ad. Shorting this kind of breakdowns is our "normal," and known as DBI setup. Annotations explain everything.



Session Time: Tue Dec 28 00:00:01 2010
[08:39] {jfjf64} mornin

[09:14] {Threei}  Strength in gold attributed to fund manager demand on US open- Dealers noted that Commodity trading Advisors (CTA) purchased gold futures as the COMEX pit opened
[09:14] {Threei}  here is the story behind REE:
[09:14] {Threei}  (CH) China reports quotas for initial 2011 batch rare earth exports at 14.4k tons v 16.3k tons y/y- Has yet to decide fy, H1 and H2 quota for rare earth exports. - Follow up: As of 09:06 ET - Fy quota not infered by H1 quota; H2 quotas based on conditions. **Note: On Nov 16th, China's Commerce Ministry reiterated that China's export quota would be cut again in 2011. - China supplies about 95% of the world's rare earth materials, which are used in products such as certain batteries and electronics.
[09:17] {ese} I read this:December 21, 2010 9:54:34 AM PSTMolycorp Inc CEO: Continues to be very bullish on rare earth prices - CNBC interview- Says global demand at about 60K tons in 2011, while predicting China will allow only about 25K tons.

The United States once dominated global production and has a large deposit in Mountain Pass, California, at a mine owned by Molycorp (MCP:$47.40,00$-2.0400,-4.13%) . But in the 1990s, China, which also has large deposits, began flooding the market and sending prices tumbling. Between 1990 an
[14:55] {RonS} Between 1990 and 2006, the average price of rare earth metals fell about 75 percent.

The shutdown has increased the rarity of these metals, and China's export quotas have further tightened supplies, but the U.S. Geological Survey says
