Not an easy day - win some, lose some, as market couldn't decide what to do. Reversal to the downside provided us with some plays, and finished slightly positive, but we need market to determine direction to provide us with real opportunities. Luckily it seems to do just that.

[11:24] {dino} from yesterday
[11:24] {Threei} wtg
[11:26] {dino} ty
[11:26] {Threei} lol, read this
[11:26] {Threei} (GR) International Institute of Finance (IIF)'s Dallara: Evaluating two options on Greece swap deal; bondholders should keep net present value loss contained in order to maintain voluntary nature
[11:26] {Threei} bondholders are presented with two options parctically: lose voluntarily or involuntarily
[11:27] {Threei} put a gun to one's temple and tell him: I am going to pull the trigger in any case, but you have a choice: ask me to do it or don't
[11:27] {dino} lol
[11:28] {Threei} now, the last line of this one deserves a minute of solemn silence
[11:28] {Threei} US) Fed's Lacker: Concerned that extraordinary policies have politicized the Fed, political conflicts threaten monetary policy and Fed independence
[11:28] {Threei} - Fed may need to restrict itself to only holding US Treasuries [vs MBS].
[11:28] {Threei} - Concerned that giving aid to financial firms created moral hazard expectation of future rescues.
[11:29] {Threei} haleluja... wasn't it major concern of anyone with brain when they just began those "rescues"?
[11:30] {Threei} incredible... any decision-maker in this country looks beyonf this very day?
[11:31] {Threei} and finally, if you want a last dose of optimism for this morning:
[11:31] {Threei} (EU) EU's Juncker: Debt levels in Germany are concerning, has higher levels than Spain but it is not being discussed - newspaper interview
[11:31] {RonS} ng rippin
[11:32] {dino} situation starting to sound like "when money dies"
[11:32] {Threei} you know guys
[11:32] {Threei} less and less do I believe in EU printing
[11:33] {Threei} morfe and more looks to me like they'll have to let single currency collapse
[11:33] {RonS} incy halt
[11:33] {Threei} kicking and screaming of course, but they won't be able to pull it off
[11:33] {dino} the collapse will occur when greece says f' it, and defaults
[11:34] {dino} because then the other piigs will follow
[11:34] {Threei} or Italy... or Spain... or a few smaller ones start demanding similar treatment to Greece
[11:34] {Threei} there are few scenarios that can lead to it
[11:34] {_jbb2011} incy to resume 5:45pm
[11:35] {Threei} but I just can't see the unity necessary to put the grand "print our way out of it" plan together
[11:35] {Threei} you know ICY news, right?
[11:36] {Threei} INCY
[11:36] {Threei} or want me to post?
[11:36] {_jbb2011} meant 1145am ET
[11:36] {dino} my gut says the printing happens first, but in any case default occurs
[11:36] {Threei} short version:
[11:36] {Threei} Incyte Corporation FDA approves Jakafi (ruxolitinib) in treatment for bone marrow disease (myelofibrosis)
[11:36] {Threei} yes, 11:45, jbb, ty
[11:37] {Threei} AGP collapse
[11:37] {Threei} my gut disagrees dino :)
[11:38] {Threei} or to be exact, it says:
[11:38] {Threei} they'll try, they'll do small portion of it,
[11:38] {Threei} it won't be enough,
[11:38] {Threei} and when it comes to prnting a lot, they'll fail
[11:38] {RonS} uh oh...incy 30 mil sh short...12% of float...this is gonna be fun...
[11:38] {Threei} momo candidate?
[11:39] {dino} i feel they start printing first, but in the end it does not matter
[11:39] {Threei} the scale of debt is just too great
[11:40] {Threei} they need anywhere from 4 to 6 T to solve it all
[11:40] {Threei} no way they can pull it off
[11:40] {dino} i know, the 1t talk is a joke
[11:40] {Threei} yup... "instilling confidence" silly talk
[11:44] {Threei} INCY trading
[11:47] {Threei} ABIO
[11:48] {Threei} small bios are hot
[11:48] {Threei} ABIO Gencaro Demonstrated 74% Risk Reduction for New Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure Patients with Genotype Believed to Be Found in Nearly 50% of Population
[11:48] {Threei} if you want to try and catch INCY bounce, let it drop to about 13.30
[11:49] {Threei} small shares
[11:49] {Threei} Italian yield above 7% again
[11:56] {Threei} here comes INCY
[11:56] {Threei} one more leg down
[12:18] {dino} csh sm l .34 thin
[12:22] {Threei} Long Setup: SLW .30 break
[12:22] {Threei} just a scalp
[12:30] {RonS} wow rmbs
[12:30] {Threei} well, RMBS
[12:31] {Threei} remember that antitrust trial verdict expected for, umm, forever
[12:31] {Threei} should be anounced today
[12:31] {RonS} ah so...
[12:31] {Threei} ABIO halt, curcuit breaker
[12:31] {Threei} anyone found a play in it?
[12:31] {Threei} was about a dollar lower when mentioned
[12:34] {thomcbell} Vad - this action is so artificial no?
[12:34] {Threei} in what?
[12:34] {Threei} out SLW with scalp
[12:34] {Threei} 1:1
[12:37] {thomcbell} indexes
[12:37] {Threei} well... I'd put it this way:
[12:37] {Threei} wow SLW, 1:2
[12:37] {Threei} just when i decide to limit myself to scalp
[12:37] {Threei} sorry, got distracted
[12:38] {dino} tbell, if it happens it is real bro
[12:38] {Threei} it feels artificial in a sense that thewre is no natural flow to it
[12:38] {Threei} no this normal "bulls, bears, who wins"
[12:38] {Threei} and the reason there is no such flow is:
[12:39] {Threei} neither side is convinced,
[12:39] {Threei} neither wants to committ
[12:39] {thomcbell} god forbid there was resolution - 1450 spx
[12:39] {Threei} everyone feels the earth is very shaky under their feet,
[12:39] {Threei} bears know they will get pummeled if some kind of ephemeric solution is offered,
[12:40] {Threei} no matter how ephemeric it is - immediate reation will be huge
[12:40] {Threei} bulls know they will get destroyed if something bad happenes,
[12:40] {Threei} and there are so many things that can go wrong, no way to tell which one of them hapens first
[12:41] {Threei} so it's not tgrading - it's testing waters,
[12:41] {Threei} dipping one's toe, ready to jump out on a moment notice
[12:41] {Threei} thus these low volumes,
[12:41] {Threei} thus these sharp and sudden reversals
[12:42] {Threei} follow my drift?
[12:42] {Threei} that's why we are staying so nimble
[12:42] {Threei} grabbing our little 10 cets here, 20 cents there
[12:42] {Threei} or they grab them from us
[12:43] {Threei} the moment some kind of resolution comes, whichever way it is - trading will change drastically
[12:43] {Threei} now... who played that SLW break?
[12:44] {swill} I got a scalp
[12:44] {Threei} :)
[12:44] {swill} :)
[12:45] {RonS} 3i is larisa ok?
[12:46] {Threei} she mentioned vacation in Mexico coming, but I haven't marked the dates
[12:46] {Threei} I assume that's where she is
[12:46] {RonS} k
[12:46] {Threei} no one tells me anything
[12:47] {Threei} I am so frustrated about this - imagine, Berlusconi had aucdacity not to invite me to his good buy bunga bunga party
[12:47] {Threei} good bye too
[12:56] {Threei} http://goo.gl/WL47t
[12:56] {Threei} want to have it in writing
[13:02] {Threei} what, did I scare the living daylight out of you?
[13:02] {Threei} someone breathe please
[13:03] {RonS} good .
[13:04] {Threei} ok... Ron breathes... I know dino does too - he doesn';t give a flying sneeze about what transpires, beyond passing interest
[13:04] {Threei} oh and btw dino, on a matter of greater interest:
[13:05] {Threei} Two and half men ratings drop dramatically
[13:05] {Threei} RMBS spike again
