[11:52] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM  .50 break
[11:57] {RonS} in .57
[11:57] {Threei}  nice entry
[11:57] {RonS} just trying to make sure you know we are awake
[11:59] {Threei}  ty
[11:59] {Threei}  it makes a difference
[12:03] {Threei}  RIMM, are you blind?
[12:04] {Threei}  UUP up, market down, SLW sinks like a rock
[12:07] {Threei}  shrug
[12:12] {Threei}  (GR) European treasury officials are said to be discussing a rollover of Greece debt with various European banks - financial press
[12:13] {Threei}  I take it. masrket has accepted that Greece has no chance in hell to remain solvent
[12:13] {Threei}  it's about contagion and Spain now
[12:39] {Threei}  with a lot of protests in Europe and Egypt scheduled for the weekend, and it being a long one... don't we have ti have some selling to eod?
[12:40] {RonS} no
[12:40] {nemo} I think we get some whipsaw and then end about here on the spy
[12:41] {RonS} only retail left now...
[12:42] {davd} remember, the high flyers are up on window dressing and could fall back on tuesday imo
[12:43] {patience} .
[12:56] {Threei}  well... I must try RIMM short on .80 break
[12:57] {rizvisy1} it heard you..
[12:57] {Threei}  if it doesn't set up it's fine
[12:57] {Threei}  it's when they do set up, then rinse, then work - that I feel like eating someone's keyboard
[12:58] {Threei}  larisa's comes to mind the most often
[12:58] {rizvisy1} jnpr
[12:58] {rizvisy1} jnpr
[12:59] {rizvisy1} see any setup with JNPR?
[13:00] {Threei}  not really
[13:01] {rizvisy1} I guess it will be on recovery path, history says
[13:10] {Threei}  so, the secret to profits today is to take any, even if less than 1:1
[13:10] {nemo} seems we might have to think about buying support and not breakouts unless the stock is in play
[13:11] {rizvisy1} 1:1 for jnpr already
[13:15] {ese} .
[13:15] {Threei}  good point
[13:16] {ese} ya my scanner are working in slow motion........tough week/weeks to find stuff
[13:17] {ese} still long qpsa.......will hold it to the end of the day
[13:19] {Threei}  die already RIMM
[13:23] {Threei}  fially
[13:23] {Threei}  1;1
[13:30] {ese} nice one with rimm vad......just checking out that chart
[13:33] {ese} gotta......am gonna try to check in later
[13:56] {Threei}  JNPR put in nice double bottom
[13:56] {Threei}  a bit too narrow, but chart configured well
[13:56] {rizvisy1} good sp at 37
[13:57] {rizvisy1} extended trend line from yesterday
[13:58] {rizvisy1} I believe it was well oversold
[13:59] {RonS} Have a good weekend everyone...cutting out early.
[13:59] {rizvisy1} here it goes
[13:59] {Threei}  take care ron, have a good long one
[14:01] {rizvisy1} pretty much aligned with market
[14:07] {Threei}  ugh
[14:07] {Threei}  thought of another RIMM short near .80
[14:07] {Threei}  got away, this one
[14:07] {rizvisy1} would have been great idea
[14:23] {Threei}  witching this bounce for possibkle entry
[14:23] {Threei}  watching too
[14:24] {rizvisy1} for RIMM?
[14:24] {Threei}  yeah

[15:43] {nemo} http://www.freestockcharts.com?emailChartID=d0880c6e-a9f0-465f-843b-9bd113316582
[15:43] {nemo} look where vwap is and the solid lighter yellow line is the monthly pivot point
[15:44] {nemo} the IWM is pinned at the VWAP at the moment
