Nice quiet day with 6 trades, out of which one got stopped, and five led to profits. Let me show a chart with nice potential for swing traders - IF the scenario outlined on the chart plays out, and IF nasty battle arounf this stock is won by the company. SVM is a hotly discussed stock of late, with accusations and rebuttals flying back and forth. Staying away from fundamentals, want to throw in a chart with possible scenario. Easy to recognize if you follow my setups, but ask if needed

[09:05] {dino} gm all
[09:05] {Threei} morning dino
[09:06] {dino} hmmm trh 52/sh cash t/o offer
[09:07] {dino} lol, only open unti close today
[09:08] {RonS} gm everyone...impressive article on the log nemo
[09:08] {Threei} ron :)
[09:11] {ese} morning and welcome to my new reality....at least for 4 months
[09:11] {Threei} ese :)
[09:11] {Threei} or :(
[09:12] {ese} definitely the later
[09:12] {Threei} so the only question about Greece is: will default be announced this seek or postponed again?
[09:13] {dino} postponed until they get next round of mooney
[09:13] {Threei} but they won't
[09:13] {dino} some due this week i think
[09:13] {Threei} look at this:
[09:13] {Threei} - German Chancellor Merkel party makes it 0 for 6 in elections
[09:14] {ese} with all the construction at my school vad it forced the administration to do rescheduling of classes and rooms to make things work
[09:14] {Threei} this is loud and clear singla to all politicians of EU: stop bailing out other sovereign nations
[09:14] {ese} i'm a victim
[09:14] {Threei} oh, I see where it came from
[09:14] {Threei} was wondwring why they would do such a weird scheduling
[09:15] {dino} just retire from teaching ese
[09:15] {ese} I don't know if you'c seen the school before on fernwood street but if you drive by it now you may not recognize it
[09:15] {ese} ya think so dino
[09:15] {ese} thats the plan
[09:15] {Threei} I sure did, lol
[09:16] {ese} lol
[09:18] {Threei} I've also seen construction when went to Bellfry last time
[09:18] {Threei} look at SLW guys
[09:19] {Threei} here is what happened to this one as far as market following concerned:
[09:19] {Threei} sometimes it goes up when market does, and sometimes it does opposite,
[09:19] {Threei} and it depends on the reason of market move:
[09:19] {Threei} if market drops because of EU troubles, SLW goers up,
[09:20] {Threei} as it's seen as safe haven
[09:20] {Threei} if market drops because of general economy worries, SLW drops with market
[09:20] {Threei} how about that, instead of simple relation
[09:25] {RonS} wow .tnx -110 basis points
[09:29] {Threei} FCX, bounce to about .60 is for short entry
[09:31] {dino} down gaps 11246, 2252, 1188
[09:32] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .90 break

[09:49] {dino} lol
[09:49] {dino} its a non-starter, won't pass. just using it for campaign purposes
[09:50] {Threei} interestingly enough RIMM is green
[09:50] {Threei} look at FCX
[09:51] {dino} ?
[09:51] {Threei} there is just so long it can hold against the index
[09:51] {dino} agreed
[09:51] {Threei} RIMM...
[09:52] {nemo} we're getting into that irrational versus solvency discussion
[09:52] {Threei} ?
[09:52] {nemo} The market can stay irrational (rimmm) longer than we can stay solvent
[09:52] {Threei} oh

[11:26] {Threei} interesting point on Bloomberg TV
[11:27] {Threei} goes like:
[11:27] {Threei} president just called for capital gain tax increase to 35%, and market didn't flinch,
[11:27] {Threei} which means market realized this is bluff and none of this will be materialized
[11:27] {Threei} otherwise it would sell off like crazy

[12:19] {nemo} coming into trend line
[12:21] {Threei} looks breakdownish to me...

[13:29] {patience} good morning
[13:29] {patience} vad, do you have any sense for fcx
[13:29] {Threei} down
[13:29] {Threei} bottomless
[13:29] {patience} you are brilliant
[13:29] {Threei} no support as far as eye can see
[13:29] {Threei} I am?
[13:30] {patience} yup, needed another opinion
[13:30] {Threei} good morning then
[13:30] {Threei} and sorry for sending ese to throw stones at your window
[13:30] {patience} ran most of yesterday, can barely move my body to reach my coffee cup
[13:30] {patience} i needed broken windows to get me to apply for my freebie government rebate to replace the windows anyhow
[13:31] {Threei} oh ok
[13:31] {Threei} not sorry then
[13:31] {nemo} 38.13 spy below s3 which is 39.10
[13:31] {nemo} fcx sorry
[13:31] {patience} ty, but please work with me to interpret
[13:32] {nemo} 39.10 is S3 pivot support on the daily, which is relatively extreme for movement in a single day
[13:32] {nemo} below that 38.13 seems to be price support
[13:33] {patience} ty :)
[13:33] {nemo} below that I see 36.30 with possibility in the 36.90 area
[13:42] {dino} .
[13:52] {dino} mako
[13:55] {nemo} if you don't count the gap down, this has been a quiet day
[13:55] {dino} pretty boring from 11 on
[13:55] {Threei} strangely quiet for the sizeable gap
[13:55] {Threei} which doesn't bode way for the market btw
[13:55] {nemo} pre Fed effect
[13:56] {Threei} if we don't get energetic bounce today, selling is far from done
[14:16] {dino} out gpc .48, +.40
[14:18] {dino} out chk .93, +.32
[14:31] {Threei} nice
[14:32] {Threei} took me a while to wake up anmd see those
[14:32] {Threei} but better late than never
[14:41] {dino} thx
[14:42] {Threei} (GR) Greece Fin Min Venizelos: Talks with Troika officials are over; Announcement expected shortly
[14:42] {Threei} get out of the way... no one knows what they are going to say and how it's going to move the market
[14:43] {dino} leaked?
[14:43] {Threei} ot just hope
[14:43] {Threei} (GE) Germany Chancellor Merkel affirms support for financial transaction (tobin) tax; must at least be implemented in Europe and ideally worldwide
[14:43] {Threei} - It would be a disasterous political message if euro zone member states could be thrown out of the EMU because of difficulties.
[14:43] {Threei} - Remains unclear whether there is even treaty language that allows the EMU to force a member state to stick to the rules.
[14:44] {Threei} what a mess, jeez
[14:54] {nemo} difficulties???
[14:54] {Threei} lol
[14:54] {nemo} oh jeez...
[14:57] {nemo} nothing personal, but I almost feel like the world deserves to collapse
[14:57] {nemo} 2012 can't come soon enough
[14:57] {nemo} flush this outhouse and start over
[14:59] {dino} light this candle
[14:59] {nemo} arguably the day is forming a nice bear flag
[15:00] {Threei} bear?
[15:00] {nemo} 30 min chart

[15:01] {nemo} 30 min chart
[15:02] {Threei} losing me
[15:02] {Threei} show me the flag
[15:02] {Threei} where it starts?
[15:03] {nemo} ok...hold on
[15:04] {nemo} just sent it
[15:07] {dino} pru l .58
[15:07] {nemo} see it?
[15:08] {nemo} or is it a figment of bunny's imagination...she pointed it out
[15:08] {RonS} had a feeling she wrote that article...
[15:08] {nemo} had to get a special keyboard for her paws
[15:09] {RonS} lol
[15:09] {Threei} the flag starts at the point 1?
[15:10] {nemo} yeah, but that's "1" is starting to track the multi-time frame review for the week...that's the 50% retracement of the 7/10 bottom
[15:11] {Threei} OK, I see what you mean
[15:11] {Threei} somewhat weird time frame for me
[15:11] {Threei} had to reconcile it with my charts
[15:11] {Threei} and fainted twice in the process
[15:12] {dino} out pru .72, +.14
[15:12] {Threei} careful
[15:12] {Threei} idiots open their mouthes once again
[15:12] {Threei} (GR) Greece Fin Ministry claims that Greece is nearing a deal with Troika
[15:13] {Threei} see how market sparkles immediately?
[15:18] {RonS} what a crock rally: Some Work Still Needed To Quantify Measures - Greek Finance Official - Reuters
[15:19] {Threei} heh
[15:19] {Threei} in my view, it's just a brave face
[15:20] {Threei} trying to put out some optimistic soundbites
[15:20] {Threei} whatever they decide, it's unresolvable situation
[15:20] {dino} bingo, poli talk/spin
[15:30] {dino} gn all, gotta hop
[15:30] {dino} thx for ideas
[15:33] {Threei} take care dino
[15:46] {Threei} pretty sure it's a rally before the next headline
[15:51] {Threei} OK guys, let's have a pleasant relaxing evening, see you tmorrow
[15:51] {patience} ty vad
