A bit too whippy trading today - we exchanged jabs with market, winning some and losing some. Then I decided to wait for one final breakdown which just had to come closer to the end of the day and that's when we got out day-fixing trade, TZA long for over 50 cents. Tomorrow promises to be interesting.
Session Time: Tue Oct 25 00:00:00 2011

[13:24] {Threei} (IT) Italy center right party leader affirms the coalition will stay together - financial press
[13:24] {Threei} - Reminder: Earlier reports circulated that political dysfunction was weighing on Italy, and that the govt could break down and out of agreement on various budget issues
[13:25] {RonS} whew...that was close...
[13:25] {Threei} well, ow that it's ofcially denied we can believe it

[13:39] {Threei} (NV) Netherlands Fin Min: Transaction tax (tobin) should be global in nature; but Netherlands will not block a proposed tax
[13:39] {Threei} **NOTE: this comment appears to be easing off a more hard line stance against a Tobin tax; on 9/20 the Dutch Fin Min said the Dutch Parliament will never initiate a fiancial transaction tax.

[14:38] {Threei} SPY loss of support here is lucrative play
[14:38] {Threei} can take a few tests
[14:39] {Threei} successful one will send TZA through the roof
[14:39] {Threei} so the general idea is TZA .40 break
[14:40] {Threei} stop placement is probably under .20 - .25
[14:40] {dino} coh stop -.31
[14:40] {Threei} half lot is the best idea
[14:40] {Threei} since it can take a few tries
