Jan 21 2011

The day started somewhat shaky as a few rinses balanced out the wins. Then several winning trades took us in green, and two wins, LVX and X on short side, sealed the deal. Winning streak continues.

[14:00] {magoo} strange day
[14:08] {kschun} PLT may for a bounce
[14:08] {kschun} but really thin
[14:14] {RonS} a close sub 775 on the .rut puts it on a PnF sell signal for the first time in months
[14:14] {RonS} this would be a trigger for many institutions to step to the sidelines
[14:14] {Threei}  well, maybe it's time
[14:14] {nemo} careful...every time we think there's a major sell signal, we're wrong
[14:15] {Threei}  true
[14:15] {nemo} remember the spring H&S in 2009
[14:15] {Threei}  one of these times it will be right but anyone trying to predict whch time exactly can just roll a dice
[14:15] {nemo} Then there was last January through April...that's it we're dead
[14:15] {nemo} not until 2012...mind you
[14:16] {nemo} Most shorts are now using hemmrhoid pillows
[14:16] {Threei}  all the intellectualizing is as effectve as attempt to change Solar system structure with kitchen spatula
[14:16] {nemo} o.k. Ptolemy
[14:16] {RonS} hey, dino likes that gap talk...i like PnF...to each his own
[14:17] {Threei}  and I just love bacon
[14:17] {nemo} frankly I like TNA hehehehehe
[14:17] {Threei}  pervert
[14:17] {RonS} always liked tna...
[14:17] {nemo} yeah...ROn's a weird one
[14:17] {Threei}  another pervert
[14:17] {nemo} Pot calling the kettle black?
[14:17] {Threei}  but at least now I know why I feel right at home
[14:17] {nemo} speaking of trends, spy just pulled back to it
[14:20] {kschun} SPY short at 128.5 vad?
[14:23] {Threei}  50/50
[14:23] {Threei}  anyone's guess
[14:24] {nemo} What's max pain on the spy
[14:24] {nemo} ?
[14:25] {nemo} $126

[14:49] {jfjf64} .85 ??
[14:49] {Threei}  water torture stock

[14:58] {Threei}  I'll stay away
[15:02] {kschun} most different part of all the trading for me is still how to know when to stay away...
[15:03] {Threei}  well... you know there is a course for you to read over this upcoming weeklend
[15:03] {Threei}  it speaks about that in details, among many other things
