[09:08] {Threei}  and what fun would there be in that for us?
[09:08] {Threei}  you don't let a patient sleep - you wake him up to tell him that he forgot to take his sleep aid pills

[10:41] {nemo} wbmd dino
[10:42] {ese} patience...dcc when you got a couple of minutes
[10:42] {dino} watching
[10:43] {nemo} at vwap
[10:44] {ese} any of you trade forex at all.......
[10:44] {dino} not i
[10:44] {Threei}  that's a bag of worms
[10:44] {ese} how so vad?
[10:45] {ese} have never really looked into it
[10:45] {Threei}  I have, many times over last few years,
[10:45] {Threei}  every time returned with the same impression
[10:45] {Threei}  can't believe it's legal
[10:45] {ese} lol
[10:46] {Threei}  bucket shops in equity market were banned during Livermore times
[10:46] {Threei}  somehow it's still OK in Forex
[10:46] {Threei}  how do you think they give you commission-free tradiong?
[10:47] {ese} was thinking yesterday that because it trades 24hrs ...could get some trading done on days when i can't be with you all on the board.....like yesterday....got home at 5 ish
[10:48] {Threei}  realize that in Forex you don't deal with marketplace
[10:48] {Threei}  you deal with your own broker
[10:48] {dino} inventory
[10:48] {Threei}  who gives you commission-free executions by giving you prices infewrior to market prices
[10:48] {Threei}  then turning around and covering his position in marketplace
[10:49] {Threei}  example to make it clear:
[10:49] {Threei}  in stock market, stock trades 10 x 10.05. you can buy at the offer and sell at the biod, and maybe get price improvement
[10:50] {Threei}  in Forex, pair trades at 10 x 10.05, you can buy at 10.10 or sell at 9.90
[10:50] {Threei}  you buy from your broker and sell to him,
[10:50] {Threei}  you bought at 10.10 from him - he is short now at that p[rice,
[10:50] {Threei}  he turns around and covers at 10.05 in the amrket
[10:51] {Threei}  you got your "comission-free" tarde,
[10:51] {Threei}  he got his riskless money
[10:51] {Threei}  now imagine how much market needs to move to make you profitabl
[10:51] {Threei}  don't forget that the same thing will happen when you sell
[10:51] {ese} hmmmmmmm not sure i like that
[10:52] {Threei}  how else would they stay in business with no commissions, and why would they even do that, out of goodness of their heart?
[10:55] {samire} testing internet
[10:55] {Threei}  forex: http://www.realitytrader.com/vad/canoworms.jpg
[10:56] {Threei}  (US) Senator Kyl (R-AZ): Expects the Senate will approve the McConnell debt ceiling plan; could not say whether the House would approve the plan
[10:56] {_bobbyo} vad is there a decent market to trade after hours?
[10:57] {_bobbyo} I mean 3I sorry
[10:58] {dino} normal markets imo
[10:58] {Threei}  not unless you are willing to tarde foreign markets
[10:59] {Threei}  and they are whole different animal, vs US-based ones
[10:59] {larisa} tarde fernch mraket? :)
[10:59] {Threei}  sigh
[10:59] {Threei}  lol
[11:00] {Threei}  not that I looked into that extensively though - market hours are quite enough for me, why rob yourself of the rest of life :)
[11:00] {nemo} Ghana
[11:01] {Threei}  oh, and one more fun fact

[11:07] {Threei}  yeah, meaningless wandering

[11:37] {Threei}  (GR) IMF: EFSF needs to be scaled up and made more flexible, needs to be allowed to buy debt in the secondary market
[11:37] {Threei}  - Euro zone needs better economic governance, member states need to give up more sovereignty
[11:37] {Threei}  - IMF forecasts 2011 euro area GDP growth +2%, 2012 +1.7%
[11:37] {Threei}  member states need to give up more sovereignty

[12:52] {Threei}  - Should the U.S. government's rating be downgraded to Aa1 or lower, these five states' ratings would likely be downgraded as well. Moody's will review the ratings of the five states on a case-by-case basis and announce any rating actions within seven to ten days following a sovereign action

[13:45] {Threei}  (US) US President Obama: Progress has been made; Republican's 'cut cap and balance' plan will not make it through the Senate or through the President veto; Gang of Six deal is broadly in line with presidential proposals earlier suggested
[13:45] {Threei}  - Encouraged by the Gang of Six proposals, and feels the plan is broadly consistent with the White House's stance.
[13:45] {Threei}  - Hopeful that House Democrats and House Republicans can tommorow 'talk turkey' on the deal.
[13:45] {Threei}  - Notes the Mcconnell plan achieves a bare minimum and remains a necessary backup plan.
[13:45] {Threei}  - Comments that there is no more time for posturing or symbolic gestures.
