[12:08] {Threei} wtg
[12:10] {dino} ty
[12:13] {Threei} guys
[12:13] {Threei} am I in this univerese at all?
[12:13] {Threei} look at this
[12:13] {Threei} (GR) German CDU Parliament Member Fuchs: Neither Finland nor any other euro zone member state will receive collateral guarantees for aid contributions to Greece
[12:13] {Threei} - Calls on Italy to sell off gold holdings rather than take on fresh debt.
[12:13] {Threei} - Germany's CDU leader Kauder also remarks that collateral deals shouldnt be sought
[12:13] {Threei} ***Reminder: Earlier in the session, Finland PM Katainen said that Finland would drop out of the Greece bailout deal if it did not receive collateral commitments from Greece
[12:18] {Threei} (GR) Euro zone members are said to be discussing non-cash collateral options for Greece bailout loans - financial press
[12:18] {Threei} - Real estate is said to be one of the options being discussed.
[12:20] {RonS} german financial analyst Vize Acker says the problem with real estate is that all of it is ancient in greece
[12:20] {dino} i would not loan to them w/o collateral either
[12:20] {Threei} lol ron
[12:21] {dino} real problem is greece will not own any greek land if default, defacto invasion
[12:22] {Threei} right
[12:22] {Threei} how do you loan money to entity that ceases to exist if you exercise your collateral rights
[12:23] {dino} as it is now, default is uncollateralized, so in greeces'
[12:23] {dino} mind, thanks suckers
[12:23] {Threei} it's not a problem for a mobster loaning money to a corner store owner
[12:23] {Threei} but when we are talking about whole country...
[12:24] {dino} the next german invasion, lol
[12:26] {Threei} pretty much
[12:26] {Threei} how do you take over country peacefully
[12:26] {Threei} "it's our land now"
[12:26] {dino} thru collateralized loan defaults
[12:26] {Threei} yeah right... imagine the national backlash
[12:27] {dino} then it goes un=peacefully
[12:27] {Threei} when the whole nation goes to the streets
[12:27] {Threei} do you go to war?
[12:27] {Threei} I am pretty sure germany has zero appetite for that
[12:27] {dino} greece should default now before it is too late
[12:41] {dino} wow got out of mhrpd way soon
[12:41] {nemo} think market begins to backtrack when iwm gets to .38
[12:50] {nemo} spy at trend
[13:02] {dino} feels up
[13:17] {Threei} SPY maybe finally hinting of reversing
[13:23] {Threei} ugh
[13:24] {Threei} just prepared TZA alert

[13:54] {Threei} arghhhh
[13:54] {Threei} was just one entry early
[13:54] {Threei} (EU) German Chancellor Merkel rejects gold collateral as part of EU bailout - financial press
[13:54] {Threei} Reports of buildings shakings in Washington DC and NY; Magnitude 5.8 earthquake reported in Virginia
[13:54] {Threei} oh boy
[13:55] {RonS} did they balance the budget?
[13:57] {Threei} then it wqouldn't be just 5.8
[13:57] {Threei} it would be 8.5 at least
[13:57] {Threei} and snow in August
[13:57] {RonS} true 'nuff
[13:59] {Threei} why no one "liked" this

[14:11] {nemo} things looking long here

[14:16] {Threei} I don't see it
[14:16] {Threei} SPY looks breakdownish to me
[14:18] {Threei} maybe not
[14:19] {nemo} 114.72 is weekly pivot, it might end up hanging around here
[14:19] {nemo} vwap down at .25 and climbing
[14:20] {nemo} you also have, and Iunderstand this might be anal, but...the 61.8% retracement from the July '10 low is at .60 and of course R1 on the daily is at .50, so there's velcro in this area of the chart
[14:25] {dino} "velcro", nice

[14:27] {Threei} considr my memory span please
[14:48] {Threei} you were right on the upward
[14:48] {nemo} I think this trend continues until we test 116.70
[14:48] {nemo} unless of course we get an exogenous news event
[14:49] {RonS} jf returns to room?
[14:49] {nemo} Vad grows hair on his head
[14:49] {RonS} lol...too funny
[14:50] {nemo} probably not to vad...

[14:52] {nemo} oh
[14:52] {Threei} lol
[14:52] {nemo} damn, had a good line in that vein
[14:52] {Threei} ok, can't miss a chance to hear a good line
[14:52] {Threei} let's hear it
[14:52] {nemo} Of course, you could always have it transplanted from your back
[14:53] {Threei} nah... sorry, I hoped for more
[14:53] {nemo} sorry
[15:02] {Threei} nemo
[15:02] {nemo} vad

[15:02] {nemo} prep work
[15:03] {Threei} running ahead of schedule or what?
[15:03] {nemo} nah,,,,setting up the dominoes
[15:03] {Threei} ok
[15:03] {Threei} don't fortget to alert us if plans change
[15:03] {Threei} we need to adjust spending pattrens
[15:03] {nemo} sure
[15:04] {Threei} I firmly intend to owe about $5 million at the moment of world ending
[15:04] {nemo} we'll call you Steve Buscemi
[15:05] {Threei} Election 2012: Generic Republican 48%, Obama 43%
[15:05] {Threei} I want to shake the hand of generic republican
[15:06] {nemo} frankly, I'd like to see Ron Paul win
[15:06] {Threei} never gonna happen
[15:06] {nemo} nope
[15:07] {Threei} little dry old man intending to call home all military and abolish the fed - Presidnet?
[15:07] {Threei} haha
[15:07] {Threei} not in this millenium

[15:09] {nemo} holy shit...didn't think we'd get 116.75 today
[15:09] {nemo} wow
[15:12] {Threei} impressive rally today
[15:12] {dino} ikts coming
[15:12] {dino} its
[15:12] {Threei} credit goes to nemo for early call on it
[15:12] {nemo} yeah
[15:12] {nemo} yeah, yesterday ;)
[15:12] {Threei} and trust me, it pains me to say that
[15:13] {nemo} Now that was a broken clock moment
[15:13] {nemo} Funny though...without the emotion of news
[15:14] {nemo} if you look at the spy, it tested a bottom three times and held
[15:14] {nemo} and it was a bottom that was a higher low from the one earlier in the month
[15:16] {nemo} Vad...remember (yeah right) how you said the daily looked horrible yesterday?
[15:16] {nemo} I look at the 4 hour alot, because with HFT and algorithmic trading I figure they figure everybody looks at the daily
[15:17] {nemo} Am I paranoid?
[15:17] {dino} no
[15:17] {Threei} not really, additional time frame provides additional insight
[15:17] {Threei} not sure HFT has much to do with it,
[15:18] {nemo} yeah, 4 hour very bullish
[15:18] {Threei} but volatility caused by general nervouseness and news flow does
[15:18] {Threei} daily still looks bad, even with today's fix-up
[15:18] {Threei} volume is dropping off on green candle, see?
[15:18] {dino} bigger issue, imo, will we drop 300 tomorrow?
[15:18] {Threei} exactly
[15:19] {nemo} http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake-devastation
[15:22] {dino} roflol
[15:54] {Threei} nice day, mostly thanks to that milk trade
[15:54] {Threei} not bad, considering that we don't perform too hot on slow creep-up days
[15:54] {Threei} thank you all, have a great evening
[15:54] {Threei} see you tomorrow
[15:54] {larisa} bye :)
[15:56] {dino} thx all, good time
