[07:55] {_tarkus62} gm all
[08:43] {Threei} good morning
[08:43] {nemo} eh
[08:43] {Threei} I know
[08:44] {Threei} German Finance Minister Schaeuble abruptly announced yesterday that investors should not expect a final solution for the Eurozone crisis during October 23rd summit.
[08:45] {Threei} This healthy dose of reality check coupled with disappointing Chinese GDP dampened the optimism that had prevailed a few days ago after the G20 meeting.
[08:45] {Threei} I am yet to understand where that optimism came from... seems so obvious there is no way EU will resolve it all in any relatively short time
[08:48] {Threei} look at this beauty:
[08:48] {Threei} EU Officials reiterated that the main idea for leveraging the EU bailout fund was to use it to guarantee first losses on new debt
[08:48] {Threei} so, no one even doubts there WILL be losses, lol
[08:57] {Threei} lol
[08:57] {Threei} Yankees' Salaries vs. Everyone Else's. Where's The Outrage? How About An "Occupy Yankee Stadium"?
[09:09] {dino} gm all
[09:09] {Threei} dino :)
[09:12] {Threei} mother of all strikes in Greece

[09:30] {Threei} is there a mibbit problem?
[09:30] {Threei} not everyone seems to be able to connect
[09:30] {nemo} gs running
[09:32] {dino} ok here
[09:32] {Threei} Long Setup: JPM .55 break
[09:32] {Threei} if stays above .45
[09:33] {Threei} invalidated
[09:33] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .40 break half lot
[09:33] {Threei} if stays under .55
[09:34] {Threei} no chance?
[09:34] {Threei} or anyone got it?
[09:34] {dino} no
[09:35] {nemo} didn't take it because of support at .30
[09:35] {Threei} OK, same setup from here
[09:35] {Threei} only with stop above .50 this time
[09:35] {Threei} target 1:3, 3 partials
[09:35] {Threei} 1:1
[09:36] {Threei} stop to ,.43
[09:36] {nemo} god bless ya
[09:36] {Threei} scalpers win
[09:36] {Threei} JPM got away
[09:37] {larisa} gm :)
[09:37] {Threei} larisa :)
[09:39] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .80 break
[09:39] {Threei} if stays above .70
[09:39] {nemo} .83 is pivot
[09:39] {nemo} I'd look for a short also
[09:40] {Threei} invalidated
[09:40] {Threei} on bounce, maybe...
[09:40] {Threei} a bit too sharp rewd bar to chase short
[09:40] {nemo} just because pivot would make a nice resistance
[09:40] {dino} 07 green
[09:41] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .70 break
[09:42] {Threei} correction, .65 break
[09:42] {Threei} if holding .60
[09:42] {Threei} invalidated
[09:46] {Threei} Long Setup: TZA .50 break half lot
[09:46] {Threei} stop under .35
[09:47] {Threei} target .90
[09:47] {Threei} 1:1
[09:48] {Threei} a bit too sharp
[09:48] {Threei} 1:2
[09:49] {Threei} target hit
[09:49] {Threei} out .93
[09:49] {Threei} and even that was too soon
[09:52] {Threei} really really too soon
[09:52] {Threei} lol
[09:54] {Threei} FCX, did you have to rinse second half of our short?
[09:55] {RonS} sohu sm l .85
[09:57] {RonS} out -.30
[09:57] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .40 break
[09:57] {Threei} half lot
[09:57] {Threei} stop under .25
[09:58] {Threei} looks a good chance for double bottom
[09:58] {dino} sohu gap fill
[09:58] {dino} sm l .52
[09:58] {nemo} stop should be under .20, no?
[09:58] {Threei} no
[09:58] {Threei} 1:1
[09:58] {Threei} golds on, I'll explain when done
[09:58] {Threei} hold on
[09:59] {dino} chk l .26
[09:59] {Threei} stop to .39
[09:59] {Threei} want 1:2
[10:00] {Threei} *(US) OCT NAHB HOUSING MARKET INDEX: 18 V 15E
[10:01] {Threei} stop to .45
[10:01] {Threei} stop to .49
[10:02] {nemo} is LASER acting weird for anybody?
[10:02] {Threei} no.. fine here
[10:02] {Threei} out
[10:02] {cipher} fine here too
[10:02] {Threei} should have just taken .67, was close enough to 1:2
[10:02] {Threei} 3 out of 3 so far
[10:02] {Threei} can I just go home?
[10:03] {cipher} good calls 3i
[10:03] {Threei} on that stop, while I remember
[10:03] {cipher} keep them coming
[10:03] {Threei} ty cipher
[10:03] {Threei} there was a very long tail on first bottoming candle,
[10:03] {Threei} and lower BB started curving up,
[10:04] {Threei} I want to see second bottom higher in this case,
[10:04] {Threei} and if price dove below .25, it would pierce lower BB again
[10:04] {Threei} rendering double bottom very unlikely to work
[10:04] {dino} sohu stop 0,33
[10:05] {Threei} the chance of .20 holding after that would be so minimal, I was comfortable placing stop ynder .25
[10:07] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .50 break
[10:07] {Threei} half lot again
[10:07] {dino} sohu rinsed
[10:08] {Threei} if stays above .40
[10:08] {Threei} jf's favorite phrase when we are batting 100% in the morning: let's continue at this pace till first stop
[10:10] {Threei} stop to .44

[11:51] {Threei} what amazes me about these folks,
[11:52] {Threei} what they actually protest against (bailouts etc) is the act of socialism, not capitalism,
[11:52] {Threei} and they should occupy Washington DC, not Wall Strteet

[11:54] {RonS} anti
[11:54] {Threei} right
[11:55] {Threei} that's why sane regulation preventing monopoly is a great balance
[11:55] {RonS} corporations embrace government to stymie competition

[12:19] {Threei} (EU) ECB's Trichet: Govts should handle their responsibilities on debts, it is not the purpose of the ECB to fix the failures of Govts
[12:19] {Threei} - Inflation expectations are firmly anchored; the Euro will exist in 10 years time

[15:09] {RonS} 2 trillion rescue funds agreed- france and germany
[15:09] {RonS} hearing not confirmed
[15:12] {Threei} (EU) European officials are close to agreement on details of EFSF plans for the Cannes Summit on Oct 23rd - UK Guardian
[15:12] {Threei} - France and Germany have reached agreement to boost the EFSF, EU diplomats said.
[15:12] {Threei} - Latest plans discussed by the Guardian include allowing the EFSF to offer first-loss guarantees for bondholders, be they private or public. Senior officials say this plan will lever the fund to 2T compared with the current 440B in funding. This would effectively make the EFSF an insurer, overcoming ECB resistance to the idea of turning into a bank.
[15:12] {Threei} - Berlin and Paris have agreed that Europe's banks should be recapitalised to meet the 9% capital ratio that the European Bank Authority is demanding following its re-examination of the exposure levels of between 60 to 70 "systemic" banks.
[15:12] {Threei} - France and Germany are close to agreeing on the increased share of private sector involvement.
[15:12] {dino} 1224 filled 2371 filled
[15:12] {dino} 11644 filled
[15:12] {dino} did not expect that today, was just posting for ref.
[15:17] {dino} another 300 pt range day
[15:30] {Threei} consequences of all this mess just became heavier by about $2T
[15:31] {dino} am i reading this correct, 2t=inflating it away=devalue euro?
[15:31] {Threei} considering that no one is going to repay it, yes
[15:32] {dino} hard assets should move up on this
[15:32] {Threei} gld and silver did
[15:33] {Threei} retracing somewhat
[15:33] {Threei} it's still not a signed agreement
[15:33] {dino} in any case, gotta hop, thx all, good day, good time, back for close maybe
[15:33] {Threei} and who knows what kind of riots we may see tomorrow
[15:33] {Threei} take care dino\
[15:40] {Threei} OK guys, going to leave at this
[15:40] {Threei} thank you all, see you tomorrow
[15:41] {larisa} bye :)
