The day progressed well, with just one stop and a lot of nice trades. Good start to the month so far. Just so you don't think I lost my touch while traveling or speaking... :) Catch of the Day:
RIMM proceeded even lower after our cover, but lunch time trading rarely calls for extended moves.
[08:49] {Threei} Good morning
[08:50] {Threei} how are things here, in valley?
[08:51] {nemo} internet unstable today
[08:51] {Threei} I saw your connection timing out
[08:55] {Threei} so, you guys observed nicely shaped market crash
[08:55] {Threei} and I wasn't here to use words crash and panic and irritate the living daylight out of larisa...
[08:56] {patience} are we there yet?
[08:56] {Threei} reversal?
[08:56] {patience} no, whistler :)
[08:57] {patience} how was it
[08:57] {Threei} ah
[08:57] {Threei} fantastic
[08:57] {patience} terrific
[08:57] {Threei} one of the most scenic rides I've ever seen
[08:57] {patience} yes it is
[08:57] {Threei} on par with road to Hana or Oregon coast
[08:58] {patience} you took the occasional photo?
[08:58] {Threei} of course
[08:58] {Threei} stopped at all the waterfalls
[08:58] {Threei} village itself is very cute
[09:05] {Threei} Deutsche Bank warns it will not meet its 2011 operating profit target of 10bn
[09:07] {RonS} gm...how bad was yesterday? 337 issues were down more than 10%...
[09:07] {Threei} hi Ron
[09:08] {Threei} was it tradeable?
[09:08] {RonS} hello...did you wow them on Sunday?
[09:08] {Threei} standing ovation
[09:09] {RonS} it was very whippy...wonderful on the ovation...
[09:09] {Threei} well... that came when I finished, so who knpws, maybe people were just happy it was over
[09:10] {Threei} but by the criteria of no one falling asleep or leaving during presentation from 9 to 4... I guess it was good :)
[09:11] {RonS} ended w/ slight positive but felt like coming out unscathed after a fire fight was a win...
[09:11] {dino} gm all
[09:12] {dino} it was tough in afternoon, 100 + pt moves in minutes
[09:12] {RonS} how could anyone fall asleep when they were constantly interpreting you accent w/ what did he say?
[09:12] {Threei} dino :)
[09:12] {RonS} :D
[09:12] {dino} :)
[09:13] {Threei} no, accent was fine... but when I suddenly realized that fro the last 10 min I spoke russian, I had to repeat myself :)
[09:13] {RonS} lol
[09:14] {Threei} kidding... it was quite good all throughout
[09:14] {Threei} active participation by the audience
[09:14] {Threei} and we moved through some of topics unusually fast, which meant folks were beter prepared than average
[09:19] {dino} glad it went well. my conference starts tomorrow, on the golf course
[09:19] {Threei} :)
[09:20] {Threei} I see FCX held decently yesterday
[09:22] {Threei} ended at the low, but the drop is quite restrained in comparison with market overall
[09:23] {Threei} not jumping on it right away, but certainly keeping on a radar
[09:23] {dino} looking for my dow 10k hat
[09:24] {Threei} wow really... I didn't realize we are that far down
[09:24] {larisa} gm :)
[09:24] {Threei} all support levels got broken
[09:24] {Threei} larisa!! :)
[09:24] {dino} yes
[09:24] {Threei} can you believe what opportunity I missed over these two days?
[09:24] {dino} getting my moneys' worh out of that hat
[09:24] {Threei} [08:55] {Threei} so, you guys observed nicely shaped market crash
[09:24] {Threei} [08:55] {Threei} and I wasn't here to use words crash and panic and irritate the living daylight out of larisa...
[09:26] {larisa} I do not let people irritate me, I just ignore or leave :)
[09:27] {Threei} oh, that's why nemo is leaving every few minutes
[09:28] {Threei} a few folks are out this morning I see...
[09:29] {Threei} OK... watching FCX for long setup
[09:29] {Threei} not rushing in, let's let first spikes work themselves out
[09:30] {Threei} prepare half lot, let's see if we get good pullback
[09:31] {Threei} ideally, under .30 but holding above .20
[09:33] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .20 break
[09:33] {Threei} if stays under .30
[09:33] {Threei} lol
[09:33] {Threei} invalidated, and no chance for entry on a long side
[09:34] {Threei} OK, FCX
[09:34] {dino} meli flat, titn positive
[09:34] {dino} nxpi too
[09:34] {Threei} if you grabbed it there, 1:1
[09:35] {dino} nvda holds well
[09:35] {Threei} if not, do not go second chance
[09:35] {Threei} if it goea under .30 again, most likely to lose support this time
[09:36] {Threei} hmm.. wait, disregard SLW comment
[09:36] {Threei} wrong quote
[09:36] {Threei} too many stocks at the screen
[09:38] {Threei} no news for this spike
[09:39] {Threei} watching LVS fopr pullback entry
[09:40] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .20 break
[09:40] {Threei} 1:1
[09:41] {Threei} faster than I could indicate stop level
[09:41] {dino} nvda l .75
[09:41] {Threei} no second entry
[09:41] {Threei} wait for more drop
[09:42] {Threei} between .70 and .80
[09:42] {Threei} FCX
[09:42] {Threei} interested again
[09:42] {Threei} no clear entry yet
[09:43] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .80 break
[09:43] {Threei} if holding .70
[09:43] {Threei} invalidated
[09:44] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .25 break
[09:44] {Threei} stop under .15
[09:46] {dino} stop nvda -.01
[09:46] {Threei} stop to under .20
[09:46] {Threei} takes too long
[09:47] {Threei} let's keep it tighter

[09:58] {dino} re-liquify talk perhaps
[09:59] {Threei} feels like denial time is over, market finally realized greece is done and nothing can be done about that
[09:59] {dino} agreed, greece is to be cut off
[10:00] {dino} sucker bankers to be nationalized
[10:00] {Threei} *(US) AUG FACTORY ORDERS: -0.2% V 0.0%E

[10:02] {Threei} - Govt sector weakness will be a drag on the US economy
[10:02] {Threei} - Fiscal policy is of critical importance to the economy
[10:02] {Threei} - Recovery has been much less robust than expected, European crisis remains an ongoing risk.
[10:02] {Threei} - Elevated inflation seen in the first half of 2011 is not likely to persist
[10:04] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .30 break
[10:04] {dino} serious blood in oil patch
[10:04] {Threei} stop above .40
[10:05] {Threei} 1:1
[10:05] {Threei} thought of another short FCX but decided to sit out this volatility

[10:22] {Threei} Long Setup: SLW .50 break
[10:23] {Threei} invalidated
[10:24] {thomcbell} vad that slw setup gets invalidated when the 27.40 reaction low was lost?
[10:24] {Threei} pretty muhc, yes
[10:24] {Threei} see a few bars prior, all bottoming right above that support?
[10:25] {Threei} that's what formed the consolidation range to break
[10:25] {Threei} with clear resistance at .50 since about 10 am
[10:25] {Threei} so loss of that support rendered setup invalid
[10:26] {Threei} although the break of .50 remains lucrative, so let's see if that setup reestablishes itself
[10:26] {dino} whipping around 100 pt range in minutes
[10:28] {Threei} amazing, isn't it
