Apr 25 2011

Not an easy day to read action; wins and stops took turns, ended slightly in red. 

Session Time: Mon Apr 25 00:00:00 2011
[08:29] {Threei}  Good morning
[08:30] {nemo} how do you come to that conclusion
[08:30] {Threei}  guessed
[08:30] {Threei}  wrong?
[08:30] {nemo} it's relative to your perspective
[08:30] {Threei}  as if I had one
[08:31] {Threei}  I am perspectiveless
[08:31] {nemo} If you're the lion that just caught the antelope...good...the antelope...not so good
[08:31] {Threei}  disperspective?
[08:31] {nemo} aperspective
[08:31] {Threei}  ahha
[08:31] {Threei}  SPY lost whatever slight gap up it had
[08:32] {nemo} slw losing it's gap up
[08:32] {Threei}  yeah, and its gaps become less and less convincing
[08:32] {Threei}  most of them get smacked down hard
[08:35] {nemo} wonder if the PM move is on the talk of China cutting $ holdings
[08:35] {Threei}  this talk is two years old, ongoing...
[08:35] {nemo} Yes, I know...what's your point?
[08:36] {Threei}  if there is such move by china, it's being done over time and as quietly as possible
[08:37] {Threei}  any open talks about it are either
[08:37] {Threei}  1. speculation
[08:37] {Threei}  2. pushing someone's agenda to provoke certain reactions
[08:37] {Threei}  or
[08:37] {Threei}  3. end phase of such move when controlling information becomes unnecessary or impoassible
[08:38] {Threei}  in any case, it's justr a feed for the herd
[08:44] {nemo} watching dawn come to the nest
[08:45] {nemo} MRO daily
[08:46] {nemo} POT and MOS
[08:46] {Threei}  (SR) Saudi Arabia Central Bank: Affirms the USD peg will continue for as long as the economy remains dependent on oil
