[08:34] {Threei} (US) Fed's Dudley: QE2 has aided the US economy, has not generated financial imbalances; US economic outlook has "improved considerably"
[08:34] {Threei} - Fed is still far from its inflation and job growth goals.
[08:34] {Threei} - Core inflation is stabilizing and inflation expectations are restrained.
[08:34] {Threei} - There is still plenty of slack in the economy, which will blunt inflation.
[08:34] {Threei} - Fed is watching for signs of commodity prices being passed through to consumers.
[08:34] {Threei} - Feels it is unwise for the Fed to overreact to surging commodity prices.
[08:34] {Threei} - Expects to see considerable slack in job market through 2012.
[08:38] {strider} not getting Friday data on NYSE stocks
[08:38] {strider} Laser
[08:39] {strider} ge

[08:49] {strider} supposed to hit 80 here today at the foot of the Appalachians
[08:49] {strider} 63 now
[08:59] {Threei} relatively quiet news morning
[09:00] {Threei} folks are slow to wake up, too
[09:00] {strider} is that a new rule?
[09:01] {Threei} dunno, I l,ive by my old one: it's not necessary to be awake to trade profitably
[09:02] {strider} that's what I thought
[09:02] {Threei} some news are rather bizarre:
[09:02] {Threei} (SP) Spain Dec Total Housing Permits M/M: -0.4% v 23.0 % prior
[09:04] {dino} gm all
[09:04] {Threei} dino :)
[09:05] {Threei} Sen Lieberman: We should arm the Libya opposition
[09:05] {Threei} oh god
[09:05] {Threei} these imbeciles never learn, do they
[09:07] {strider} I'm sure the CIA has all that under control
[09:07] {Threei} it worked so well with Afghani, right?
[09:08] {strider} ah, another new rule.
[09:08] {strider} things have to work.
[09:08] {Threei} not by Fed
[09:08] {strider} greg......howdy
[09:08] {Threei} QE never worked, so they launched QE2
[09:08] {Threei} which never worked so they discuss QE3
[09:08] {Threei} see?
[09:09] {gregns} good morning all
[09:09] {Threei} gern, welcome back
[09:09] {Threei} greg :)
[09:11] {strider} MRX interesting. Multiple upgrades
[09:11] {Threei} I seriously hope USD holds this support and bounces back up
[09:11] {Threei} if it breaks down, all hell breaks lose
[09:11] {Threei} loose
[09:11] {Threei} whatever
[09:13] {larisa} gm :)
[09:13] {Threei} meanwhile, idiots continue rearranging chairs on the Titanic deck:
[09:13] {Threei} (US) FDIC head Bair: Larger financial institutions may need to make structural alterations to comply with the Dodd-Frank rule- Large firms, especially those with int'l presence may need to establish new subsidiaries.
[09:13] {Threei} so they will... so what?
[09:13] {Threei} larisa :)
[09:14] {_iamspartacus} Threei calling for USD to hold support, thanks
[09:14] {Threei} ummm
[09:15] {Threei} I am not calling that it will
[09:15] {rambler} goodmorning...
[09:15] {Threei} I am saying that it's better
[09:15] {Threei} rambler :)
[09:17] {ScottM} morning
[09:17] {_iamspartacus} yes, because im short Euro/usd
[09:17] {_iamspartacus} i hope it does too
[09:17] {Threei} scott :)
[09:18] {Threei} well, if these cretines continue their current policies, there is not much hope for USD
[09:18] {Threei} but they just can't get it thgrough their thick skulls that killing USD is not the cure for all ills
[09:19] {_iamspartacus} no, they think killing usd is a cure for short term ills, by which time they will have enough strength to take on the long term ills
[09:20] {_iamspartacus} but its a big gamble
[09:20] {_iamspartacus} exactly
[09:21] {Threei} commodities going through the roof will show the losing side to that gamble rather quickly
[09:21] {ese} gm
[09:21] {Threei} ese :)
[09:21] {_iamspartacus} yes
[09:21] {dino} in the end it doesn't matter, they will do what they do, we must react

[13:11] {kschun} normally range is much bigger.
[13:12] {kschun} but probably you are right and stock just will not move...
[13:12] {kschun} thanks for your op!
[13:13] {Threei} Short Setup: X .70 breal
[13:14] {Threei} just a scalp most likely
[13:14] {Threei} keep stop .76 and try to cover closer to .60
[13:15] {Threei} there you go, feel free to cover as you see fit
[13:18] {kschun} trying VIV AT .30
[13:20] {Threei} wow, X had more in it
[13:20] {Threei} didn't think so
[13:20] {Threei} but becomes a double bottom candidate now
[13:21] {Threei} Long Setup: X .45 break if holding .40
[13:22] {Threei} invalidated
[13:23] {kschun} VIV scaled out half... not a good trade. should have listened to my thinkings and vad.
[13:23] {kschun} but position size and risk management at least was o.k.
[13:24] {kschun} sector would be o.k., but daily chart not at all a short
[13:24] {Threei} you are squeezing juice out of stone
[13:24] {Threei} thing does nothing
[13:24] {kschun} right - agree
[13:24] {nemo} db on spy
[13:25] {kschun} just was not able to not take the trade
[13:25] {kschun} at least I took it with small size
[13:25] {kschun} but no excuse
[13:26] {kschun} BMC heavily coming down from its highs
[13:27] {kschun} ah boy... BEXP was on my list today, did not check the alert becuase I was in the "NO-MOVING-VIV-TRADE" ...
[13:27] {kschun} but easy, there are still plenty of opportunity out there
[13:32] {Threei} this I don't unerstabnd
[13:32] {Threei} "was not able to not take the trade"
[13:32] {Threei} it's easy... look at me - sitting not taking that trade
[13:33] {kschun} doesnt understand it either
[13:33] {kschun} my "monday-first-trade-illness"...
[13:33] {kschun} but you are right, nothing more to add
[13:35] {kschun} out rest VIV .36
[13:39] {kschun} HK vad?
[13:39] {kschun} any read
[13:40] {kschun} probably gona become a more active chatter and a less active trader :-)
[13:40] {kschun} makes more sense
[13:41] {Threei} why do you pick stocks with no range?
[13:41] {Threei} 10-15 cents, for a few hours
[13:41] {Threei} what do you expect from it?
[13:45] {kschun} o.k. - will try to find some better ex.
[13:46] {Threei} watching AIG for short
[13:48] {Threei} want a bounce, not breakdown
[13:48] {Threei} somewhere sround .40
[13:49] {rambler} big volume...
[13:51] {strider} can't short aig either
[13:51] {strider} this is a problem
[13:51] {kschun} broker?
[13:52] {strider} genesis
[13:53] {Threei} anyone shorted it?
[13:53] {kschun} yeap
[13:53] {kschun} took 1:1
[13:53] {Threei} ok
[13:53] {kschun} entry .29
[13:53] {kschun} scalled out in 3 parts
[13:54] {kschun} wanted to let run last one,
[13:54] {Threei} .29?
[13:54] {kschun} yeah
[13:55] {kschun} looked too good not too take. .30 broken, ask at .30 was absorbing shares
[13:56] {Threei} I am lost
[13:56] {Threei} but it's OK, that's my normal state
[13:57] {Threei} RIMM, watch for pullback to about .60 yo enter long
[13:58] {ese} too much to do these days all....mostly just watching you all...see ya tomorrow
[13:59] {kschun} I now you probably wanna hit me, but I still ask: HK .40 break ?
[13:59] {kschun} take care ese
[13:59] {Threei} take care ese
[14:00] {Threei} HK, chart is right but don't count on much, just a small scalp
[14:02] {kschun} out HK
[14:03] {Threei} but it didn't even break .40
[14:03] {strider} you still think rimm long?
[14:03] {Threei} I don't understand what you are doing at all
[14:03] {kschun} try to short it before, with really tight stop
[14:04] {Threei} missed RIMM near .60
[14:04] {Threei} anyone got it?
[14:05] {strider} n0
[14:05] {rambler} nope..
[14:05] {kschun} n
[14:05] {strider} bidding .63
[14:05] {Threei} nah
[14:05] {ScottM} nope, am in AIG though
[14:05] {Threei} it tested .60 twice
[14:05] {_cleto} AIG short, hold it ?
[14:06] {Threei} if it goes there thrid time, don't take long
[14:06] {Threei} AIG stop above .50
[14:06] {Threei} wait, mistype
[14:06] {Threei} original one was above .50,
[14:06] {Threei} above .40 now
[14:07] {Threei} what price are you in?
[14:07] {_cleto} .35
[14:07] {Threei} .20 break should send it down screaming
[14:07] {Threei} then I'd cover half here
[14:07] {Threei} keep stop above .40,
[14:07] {Threei} let it tarde and wait for .20 break
[14:08] {kschun} watching SBI , for 35 break down
[14:08] {Threei} there is no support at all, it can go down to 35 for all chart shows
[14:08] {Threei} SBI?
[14:08] {Threei} you must be joking
[14:08] {kschun} CBI
[14:08] {Threei} CBI
[14:08] {Threei} ahh
[14:08] {kschun} sorry
[14:09] {Threei} look at SBI and laugh
[14:09] {kschun} LOL
[14:09] {kschun} CBI chart o.k.?
[14:09] {Threei} more or less
[14:10] {Threei} far from being my favorite but not a complete no-no
[14:12] {Threei} RIMM perfect bounce off .60.... can't believe you all ignored it
[14:13] {_cleto} not ignored but not filled
[14:13] {RonS} w/ the naz at lod and naz fute order flow at a new low negative it was tough to take...
[14:13] {kschun} agree with ron
[14:13] {kschun} found it too risky too
