[08:58] {dino} gm all
[09:01] {RonS} gm dino, everyone...
[09:01] {Threei} Good morning dino, ron
[09:02] {Threei} 45% of households do not owe US income tax
[09:02] {Threei} as in "paid in installements" or "never paid, never will"
[09:03] {Threei} wow
[09:03] {Threei} what just happened?
[09:04] {nemo} US ratings revised to negative by S&P
[09:04] {Threei} joke?
[09:05] {nemo} no
[09:05] {Threei} I don't see anything in news
[09:05] {Threei} where is it?
[09:05] {Threei} ahha, here it comes
[09:05] {Threei} *(US) S&P US SOVEREIGN RATING OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE
[09:05] {Threei} Have Market Intel? TradeTheNews.com Tip Line -} Click Here
[09:06] {Threei} I think this is the end of S&P
[09:07] {patience} good monday morning
[09:07] {Threei} morning patience
[09:07] {nemo} nope
[09:07] {Threei} really surprizing... never thought this would happen
[09:08] {Threei} look at GLD
[09:09] {rambler} morning....
[09:09] {Threei} rambler :)
[09:10] {Threei} - S&P believes there is a material risk that US policymakers might not reach an agreement on how to address medium- and long-term budgetary challenges by 2013; if an agreement is not reached and meaningful implementation is not begun by then, this would in our view render the U.S. fiscal profile meaningfully weaker than that of peer 'AAA' sovereigns. Because the U.S. has, relative to its 'AAA' peers, what we consider to be very large budget deficits and rising government indebtedness and the path to addressing these is not clear to us, we have revised our outlook on the long-term rating to negative from stable.
[09:11] {nemo} and who is in the "AAA" group?
[09:11] {Threei} lol
[09:12] {Threei} bunch of delinquents, just the same
[09:12] {larisa} gm :)
[09:12] {Threei} larisa :)
[09:12] {larisa} vad :)
[09:13] {Threei} on a grand scheme of things htis is a good turn of events I suppose
[09:13] {Threei} jolt delivered by rate changes will hopefully shake the idiots out of their complacency
[09:13] {nemo} bunch of assholes re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic
[09:14] {nemo} I don't think you're favorite first of the morning short will be a good idea today
[09:14] {nemo} Is it too early to stop drinking
[09:14] {nemo} ?
[09:14] {Threei} we will see
[09:15] {Threei} - If U.S. policymakers do agree on a fiscal consolidation strategy, we believe the experience of other countries highlights that implementation could take time. It could also generate significant political controversy, not just within Congress or between Congress and the Administration, but throughout the country. We therefore think that, assuming an agreement between Congress and the President, there is a reasonable chance that it would still take a number of years before the government reaches a fiscal position that stabilizes its debt burden.
[09:15] {Threei} - In our baseline macroeconomic scenario of near 3% annual real growth, we expect the general government deficit to decline gradually but remain slightly higher than 6% of GDP in 2013. As a result, net general government debt would reach 84% of GDP by 2013. In our macroeconomic forecast's optimistic scenario (assuming near 4% annual real growth), the fiscal deficit would fall to 4.6% of GDP by 2013, but the U.S.'s net general government debt would still rise to almost 80% of GDP by 2013. In our pessimistic scenario (a mild, one-year double-dip recession in 2012), the deficit would be 9.1%, while net debt would surpass 90% by 2013. Even in our optimistic scenario, we believe the U.S.'s fiscal profile would be less robust than those of other 'AAA' rated sovereigns by 2013.
[09:17] {gen} gm all

[11:53] {rambler} almost crawled over the stern of my boat last spring to get at him...
[11:55] {RonS} mao won the hearts of the peasantry
[11:55] {RonS} shang kai shek and the nationalists were corrupt
[11:55] {rambler} ya, and then he starved them to death.....
[11:56] {nemo} guy who trained me...guy who trained him was Mao's physician in the 40's
[11:56] {dino} if mao had lost the history would be wrote much differently
[11:56] {nemo} written by the victors
[11:56] {RonS} having said that, Mao killed millions...and anyone who does not recognize that is an idiot
[11:56] {nemo} and, as Napoleon said...
[11:56] {nemo} History is merely a fantasy upon which we all agree
[11:56] {dino} right, and re-wrtten by the liberals
[11:57] {rambler} exactly....
[11:57] {nemo} rambler...have to work on your spelling
[11:57] {Threei} really
[11:57] {rambler} what........
[11:57] {RonS} and, btw, i learned my chinese history from a ex-pat Nationalist Chinese
[11:57] {Threei} "eqzaktly" is how that word is spelled
[11:58] {rambler} so sorrly...
[11:58] {Threei} sin no more
[11:58] {RonS} dang ipi just will not go...
[12:00] {rambler} SLW short...?

[12:05] {RonS} al i wanted was .44 from .20
[12:05] {RonS} all
[12:06] {nemo} I think CYH is going to want to break that 30 at some point
[12:07] {dino} me too
[12:08] {rambler} SLW DT....?
[12:08] {nemo} looks that way
[12:09] {Threei} chick raised its head in the nest
[12:09] {nemo} only thing though, after today's announcement, can silver stay down
[12:10] {Threei} mom feeds it
[12:10] {nemo} what chick?
[12:10] {Threei} eagle
[12:10] {RonS} paris
[12:10] {Threei} http://www.hancockwildlife.org/index.php?topic=raptors_victoria1#closeup
[12:10] {Threei} upper one
[12:10] {Threei} look quickly
[12:10] {Threei} not every day you can see this real time
[12:11] {nemo} CYH
[12:11] {RonS} that nest is a McMansion...
[12:12] {nemo} probably built better
[12:13] {RonS} what is she doing?
[12:13] {nemo} defecating
[12:14] {ese} just realised.....thats live right now!
[12:14] {ese} wow
[12:14] {nemo} blonde?
[12:15] {Threei} SLW starts forming that short I think
[12:16] {rambler} .90 break...?
[12:16] {Threei} not clear yet
[12:16] {rambler} dang green candle...
[12:17] {Threei} but this itme of day, I'd rather hunt for aggressive entry
[12:26] {nemo} CYH C&H?
[12:26] {Threei} I can't bring myself to buy this type of break at this time in this type of market
[12:28] {nemo} that volume doji,,,oy vay...I'll sit it out
[12:30] {nemo} wow...a Kenyan won the Boston Marathon...what a surprise
[12:30] {nemo} set world record
[12:31] {nemo} 2:03 beat previous record by 2 minutes
[12:31] {nemo} An American finished 4th
[12:31] {RonS} prob kenyan...?
[12:32] {nemo} or of Kenyan descent
[12:35] {nemo} Gawd!!! is CYH tempting
[12:39] {Threei} nope
[12:40] {Threei} the more I look at it, the less temting it is
[12:46] {dino} markets stuck
[12:46] {Threei} ese, dcc pls
[12:56] {Threei} I'll stay away, but the temptation to short this break is there
[12:57] {nemo} you were saying?
[12:57] {rambler} you in CYH Nemo....?
[12:57] {Threei} saying I'd short the living daylight out of it if I were inclined to do anything
[13:00] {rambler} are you talking CYH....?
[13:01] {Threei} yeah
[13:02] {nemo} no, I wasn't
[13:02] {rambler} why would you short that setup Vad...?
[13:02] {nemo} In the words of the Immortal Magoo...."rip, or rot?"
[13:03] {dino} lol
[13:04] {Threei} I can't put it in words
[13:04] {nemo} It's a Tao thing...looked for, can't be seen, listened for, can't be heard
[13:05] {rambler} gut feeling....?
[13:05] {Threei} I guess...
[13:05] {Threei} too perfect consolidation, too inviting
[13:06] {Threei} did it once before, look at the similar break attempt at 11:28
[13:06] {nemo} yeah, a very "Spider to the fly" kinda' thing
[13:06] {rambler} looks like great long entry to me...
[13:06] {Threei} and immediate smackdown, trapping gullible break buyers
[13:07] {rambler} been there, done that.....
[13:07] {Threei} it's very uncertain now, random movements time of the day
[13:07] {Threei} so I do not touch it either way
[13:08] {Threei} but if I had to, in words of immortal magoo "gun to head"... it would be short
[13:10] {Threei} ywo eagles are in the nest now
[13:10] {nemo} Vad, might still be right, this could have been a Wile E. Coyote moment
[13:11] {rambler} SPY dropping
[13:12] {rambler} gotta run for a bit...
[13:13] {nemo} TNA might be a bounce around .85
[13:13] {nemo} if not here around .70 might be a bounce
[13:20] {nemo} MOS short below 73 or long on bounce?
[13:20] {nemo} ehhh vwap at .95
[13:20] {nemo} unless market crashes
