Positive day but we haven' played it to its full potential - reversal and drop closer to end of day was one of those things that we saw coming and haven't found the right way to benefit from.
Session Time: Tue Sep 20 00:00:00 2011
[09:10] {Threei} don't tell me... it's morning again?

[09:15] {patience} good morning Ron
[09:16] {Threei} gap up despite Italy downgrade and China banks stopping swap lines with Europe - genuinely bullish, or denial to be disillusioned, or just this particular event is priced in (Italy downgrade was pretty much given)?
[09:16] {Threei} ron :)
[09:20] {dino} imo italy a given, china a surprise
[09:20] {Threei} my feeling too
[09:20] {RonS} patience up early is the surprise...

[10:01] {dino} gpc sm l .48
[10:02] {Threei} gold action tells me market in no way accepted that Europe situation becomes healthier
[10:02] {nemo} that's a big "Duh!"
[10:03] {Threei} hey... don't trivialize my observations, they are trivial without your help {G}

[10:10] {dino} gpc stop -.30
[10:11] {Threei} ideally we stay under .10 and .21 becomes a stop for a full lot

[10:16] {Threei} (IT) S&P: Italy cannot solve its debt problems through privatization of assets
[10:16] {Threei} through what then?
[10:17] {nemo} cutting fiscal spending
[10:17] {Threei} that only takes care of not increasing the debt going forward
[10:17] {Threei} S&P is talking about paying down existing
[10:18] {Threei} and says selling assets is not going to suffi ce
[10:18] {nemo} if you spend less than you take in, you pay stuff down
[10:18] {Threei} yeah... at this scale and rate, in the next 3000 years
[10:18] {Threei} meanwhile rollover dates come
[10:18] {Threei} and money isn't there
[10:19] {Threei} and selling assets doesn't cover it
[10:19] {Threei} see mine ( and S&P's) point? :)
[10:22] {Threei} grrr
[10:22] {Threei} RIMM rinse
[10:23] {Threei} here is the number:
[10:23] {Threei} - According to Goldman Sachs, Italy has to rollover about $380B in debt by the end of 2012.
[10:24] {Threei} what S&P is saying, Italy cannot meet that by privatization
[10:24] {dino} mkt saying it doesn't matter so far today
[10:24] {Threei} that was my morning question...
[10:24] {Threei} what is with this strength - priced in? denial?
[10:25] {dino} today is key word
[10:27] {patience} locked in my profit with gdx and hgu....will just look for another entry point

[10:59] {Threei} RIMM is losing support... short entry is not really obvious though

[11:04] {dino} hls l .29
[11:06] {nemo} just got rinsed on MCP stopped out for the day
[11:12] {dino} cat sm s break .60
[11:13] {Threei} hard to distinguish SPY action here
[11:13] {nemo} at trend line for the day
[11:13] {Threei} looks reversing, but this kind of reversals proves to be very elusive lately
[11:14] {Threei} I am not fond of idea to short it at will
[11:15] {dino} cat bstop is .81
[11:21] {dino} out hls .41, +.12

[11:45] {Threei} Long Setup: TZA .70 break
[11:45] {Threei} stop under .60
[11:47] {Threei} sigh

[11:53] {Threei} anyone breathes at all?
[11:53] {Threei} or am I talking to myself?

[11:55] {patience} out, ok, time for a run, awesome day
[11:56] {Threei} one more dive TZA, and should be scalpable
[11:56] {Threei} from around .10
[11:57] {nemo} unless this is the break of a bull flag
[11:57] {nemo} if we break resistance, 123.80 next target on spy
[11:58] {RonS} meli dino...
[12:01] {Threei} nice TZA bounce but .20 wasn't really all that clear to me as an entry

[14:33] {Threei} (US) PIMCO sees Fed funds market as negatively impacted if the Fed decides to cut interest paid on excess reserves (IOER) at meeting
[14:33] {Threei} - PIMCO notes that a cut of the interest on excess reserves could hurt earnings margins for banks; PIMCO sees likelihood that Fed may instead choose to trim the IOER slightly rather than imposing a full cut from 25bps
[14:33] {Threei} that was twisted idea anyway
[14:34] {dino} that and going longer term vs short to lower rates
[14:34] {dino} joyg messed up today

[14:50] {nemo} spy sitting on monthly pivot iwm .10 above the Weekly pivot

[15:27] {Threei} this is what I am really unhappy about: I weaited for this weaknedd, believed it had to come, yet haven't found right entry
[15:29] {Threei} I guess that slow climb and then really long consolidation near the high kind of lulled me
