[09:31] {Threei} SLW jumps up and down
[09:31] {Threei} let's see where it settles
[09:31] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .10 break
[09:31] {dino} mrx sm l .49
[09:32] {Threei} stop above .20 scalpers, .25 day traders
[09:33] {Threei} 1:1 scalpers
[09:33] {Threei} 1:1 day traders

[09:34] {jfjf64} ty
[09:34] {Threei} yw
[09:34] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .25 break half lot

[09:40] {Threei} 1:1
[09:40] {Threei} half out
[09:40] {Threei} and let's trail to .09
[09:40] {Threei} don't like this jumpiness
[09:41] {Threei} SLW was better candidate for bounce
[09:41] {Threei} FCX works too but that one had better swing
[09:41] {Threei} stop to .14
[09:42] {Threei} let's secure profit as much as we can here
[09:42] {_carson} should i go sleep now ?
[09:42] {Threei} you out FCX in full yet?
[09:42] {Threei} target hit
[09:42] {Threei} out
[09:42] {Threei} go sleep carson

[09:44] {Threei} you got your yesterday's stops back carson
[09:44] {_carson} yeaapp
[09:44] {Threei} be smart now, don't waste it away
[09:44] {Threei} do this:
[09:44] {Threei} determine how much you take home today no matter what
[09:45] {Threei} and put kind of trailing stop on your account
[09:45] {Threei} ie:
[09:45] {Threei} if you are up 500, decide that 400 is your minimum for today,
[09:45] {Threei} so, if you lose 100, you stop trading
[09:45] {_carson} ohhok
[09:45] {Threei} if make 200 more, move your stop to 550
[09:46] {_carson} ty
[09:46] {Threei} thus having 150 max to lose
[09:46] {Threei} etc
[09:46] {Threei} SLW
[09:46] {Threei} oullback to .90 - 39 zone will be inetresting for ling entry

[09:48] {Threei} as far as I am concerned, Reid shouldn't be at that table

[13:19] {Threei} nice to see that selloff continues from yesterday
[13:19] {Threei} green day would signal total confusion
[13:20] {Threei} this selling is clear message - market is in the mood to sell into any engineered "good news"
[13:21] {dino} what good news was there?
[13:22] {Threei} well, those QE3 hints that Ben tried to scatter around like breadcrumbs
[13:22] {Threei} from market point of view it's upltifting news
[13:22] {Threei} and market chose to dismiss them the very next day
[13:23] {dino} www sm l .39
[13:24] {dino} .30
[13:24] {RonS} did not listen to the bernank but some saying he put it off the table today
[13:24] {dino} he did
[13:24] {dino} saying we don't need it
[13:25] {_carson} SPY on 20MA
[13:25] {Threei} from what I read, he didn't discarded it outright,
[13:25] {Threei} nor committed to anything
[13:26] {Threei} usual dithering
[13:26] {RonS} soft shuffle 3i
[13:26] {Threei} my thinking though is (well, whatever goes for thiking in my skull):
[13:27] {Threei} whatever support he has for QE3, enough or not,
[13:27] {Threei} whatever situation tells him to do,
[13:27] {Threei} main problem is - this is the only thing he understands
[13:28] {Threei} from his very beginning at the Feds helm he stated his dovish position, willingness to ease and print
[13:28] {Threei} inflation be dmaned
[13:28] {dino} helicopter ben
[13:28] {Threei} damned too
[13:28] {Threei} printing money and providing accomodative policy is his MO
[13:29] {Threei} he is like aa man with hammer
[13:29] {Threei} everything is nail
[13:29] {Threei} deflation? print money
[13:29] {Threei} inflation? print money
[13:29] {Threei} run out of? print money
[13:29] {Threei} of beer
[13:30] {Threei} school gilrfriend called and said that kid of hers was yours, and wife was within an earshot? print money
