Very nice day with just one 7 cents stop, and even that if you decided not to take scalp at 1:1. Fair number of good trades, too - even though usually big gap up is nit our trading environment.

[07:53] {_optionman} good morning
[08:59] {Threei} good morning
[09:04] {thomcbell} hi Vad
[09:04] {Threei} thomc :)
[09:17] {swill} morning
[09:17] {Threei} swill :)
[09:18] {Threei} succinct summary:
[09:18] {Threei} Italian banks also soared after speculation that IMF was in talks with Italy for a financing package of �600B with a rate in the range of 4-5% which would give the country breathing room as it implements its austerity measures. Although the reports were denied by the IMF and other official sources, the article from La Stampa continued to sustain European markets, in the hope that maybe where there's smoke, there's fire. On the other hand, a worrying report from Moody's warned that the probability of multiple defaults by the euro zone countries is no longer negligible.
[09:23] {Threei} let's skip first few minutes
[09:24] {jakob} good morning
[09:24] {Threei} jakob :)
[09:24] {ese} morning
[09:24] {Threei} big gap up day, hate it
[09:24] {Threei} ese :)
[09:24] {Threei} dino decided to sleep it out I guess
[09:24] {Threei} our problem for today:
[09:25] {Threei} rally is based on BS, and the only real reason under it is short squeeze, plain and simple
[09:25] {ese} can't says i blame him
[09:25] {Threei} market was severely oversold as we noted last week,
[09:25] {Threei} it was time for a band to snap back, and it does
[09:26] {Threei} but to determine how long such squeeze can continue and high high it can take the market is next to impossible
[09:26] {Threei} it can fizzle out right here or it can continue for a week,
[09:26] {Threei} deopending on the next news and depending on where funds stand
[09:27] {Threei} they can't afford to miss the end of year rally,
[09:27] {Threei} so they might jump in, adding fuel toi the squeezes
[09:28] {Threei} so, let's see what is vulnerable to short on downturns,
[09:28] {Threei} let's see what pulls back enough for safe long
[09:28] {Threei} and stay patient
[09:28] {Threei} sounds like a plan?
[09:30] {swill} yes
