[10:54] {Threei} for a very good reason
[10:55] {Threei} when I booked it, I had no idea about that long weekend
[10:55] {nemo} 2 3dayers in a row?
[10:55] {nemo} duh? check the market holiday schedule
[10:55] {Threei} we have them differently in Canada
[10:55] {Threei} so it's not readily oln top of the mind
[10:58] {Threei} looking at USO and SLW, it's again all about USD
[11:02] {dino} afl sm l .80
[11:02] {RonS} ducky
[11:02] {Threei} lol
[11:03] {Threei} USO looks toppy...
[11:03] {Threei} but if UUP loses .55, it won't reverse down
[11:03] {dino} quack
[11:04] {Threei} let's try it as safe as possible
[11:04] {Threei} Short Setup: USO .45 break
[11:04] {Threei} if stays under .50
[11:04] {Threei} negligible stop
[11:05] {Threei} nope
[11:06] {dino} out afl .20, +.40
[11:07] {Threei} nice quacking
[11:07] {dino} lol

[11:09] {dino} no
[11:09] {RonS} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_st._pierre
[11:10] {Threei} Short Setup: NVDA 18 break
[11:11] {Threei} scalp only most likely
[11:11] {nemo} look at .99 bids
[11:12] {Threei} so let them melt a bit and grab your shares when bid goes down to reasonable size
[11:12] {Threei} just tactics of entry
[11:12] {nemo} yeah...I was just pointing it out for Les
[11:12] {nemo} oh....he's not here
[11:12] {Threei} "fine-tuning your entry with Level 2", scalping videocourse
[11:13] {Threei} USO...
[11:13] {Threei} UUP upticks kill it now
[11:21] {dino} afl sm l .00
[11:21] {RonS} dino dks?
[11:22] {dino} 37.03 gap
[11:23] {dino} i like it close to that
[11:25] {Threei} feel free to take profit on NVDA as you see fit
[11:25] {Threei} not expecting much from it
[11:28] {Threei} I am 2/3 out
[11:28] {Threei} stop to .01 for the balance
[11:30] {Threei} can't believe USO rinsed me by 1 cent, lol
[11:31] {Threei} it's just wrong
[11:31] {Threei} must be jf's fault
[11:33] {jfjf64} lol
[11:34] {RonS} fcx 48 break s w/ some consolidation below .05?
[11:34] {Threei} I like the idea,
[11:34] {Threei} just not delighted by this last spike which broke downtrending channel
[11:35] {RonS} yep
[11:35] {Threei} can be repaired by new consolidation
[11:35] {RonS} k
[11:35] {Threei} but don't go for it if it jujst drops into support in one gasp
[11:50] {dino} afl stopped while out -.31
[11:52] {dino} snn spike
[12:00] {dino} hum-dee-dum
[12:14] {dino} out stec .95, +.40
[12:21] {RonS} afl...talented duck...now croaking...
[12:21] {dino} watching it
[12:22] {Threei} acvtually, could be bottoming out
[12:22] {Threei} I'd say,
[12:22] {Threei} Long Setup: AFL .25 if holding .15
[12:23] {Threei} with target about 1:5
[12:24] {dino} feels like 49.80s then bounce
[12:27] {nemo} .20 break?
[12:27] {Threei} if you like aggressive
[12:27] {nemo} fine
[12:27] {Threei} with all its advantages and shortcomings
[12:27] {nemo} stop picking on my height
[12:28] {Threei} sorry
[12:28] {nemo} u know I'm the sensitive type
[12:28] {Threei} but I do not discriminate what I am picking on
[12:28] {Threei} height, width...
[12:29] {Threei} still valid IMO
[12:29] {nemo} even more so
[12:30] {Threei} these little nibbles under support, immediately rejected, do not invalidate the setup
[12:30] {nemo} validates .21 entry
[12:30] {Threei} remaking it to .10 - .20 nakes sense
[12:30] {Threei} esepcially considering that big offer at .20
[12:30] {Threei} right
[12:33] {Threei} now it's invalidated
[12:33] {Threei} next area of interest is dino's 49.80

[14:02] {Threei} *FOMC MINUTES OF APRIL 27 MEETING: HAD DETAILED EXIT STRATEGY TALKS, MBS RUN OFF AS FIRST STRATEGY STEP
[14:02] {Threei} - Normalizing the stance of policy would entail the withdrawal of the current extraordinary degree of accommodation at the appropriate time, while normalizing the conduct of policy would involve draining the large volume of reserve balances in the banking system and shrinking the overall size of the balance sheet, as well as returning the SOMA to its historical composition of essentially only Treasury securities. The presentation noted a few key issues that the Committee would need to address in deciding on its approach to normalization
[14:04] {Threei} - Most participants saw changes in the target for the federal funds rate as the preferred active tool for tightening monetary policy when appropriate. A number of participants noted that it would be advisable to begin using the temporary reserves-draining tools in advance of an increase in the Committee's federal funds rate target
