[09:58] {Threei} this stall is not typical for this time of the day in down market

[12:39] {Threei} sao, with many invalidated setups, those that triggered worked at 100%
[12:40] {Threei} question is, will something happen without news,
[12:40] {Threei} or we are to sit and wait for either news or for end of day activity as folks start position themselves for tomorrow
[12:41] {Threei} anyone has anything to share, feel free

[13:59] {Threei} DK) Denmark PM: Prepared to contribute funds from the Central bank to the IMF to help deal with EMU crisis; could provide �5.4B under any such request- Sweden PM: No need to adjust treaty to fix crisis and Sweden wishes to be part of the crisis resolution; EFSF should be combined with the ESM to deal with the crisis. Would require too much time to change the EU treaty. - Finland PM: Supports stronger fiscal rules, could support adjustments to the treaty if deemed necessary

[14:58] {patience} i agree with you Vad
[14:58] {patience} October and November have been good months
[14:58] {patience} I just had to trade when the market suited my style
[14:58] {Threei} that's very unfamiliar place to be... no one agreed with me about anything for the last, umm, 40+ years
[14:59] {patience} looking at booze, cigarettes, dollar store stocks for volume/and momo to build once market direction re-establishes itself
[15:00] {Threei} and guns if it doesn't
[15:00] {patience} forgot the defence sector
[15:00] {patience} but yes, last month gun sales were strong

[15:13] {Threei} maybe they are just having "against" day
[15:13] {Threei} now, this is something to decipher:
[15:13] {Threei} (EU) EU Summit Draft: EU leaders determined to preserve integrity of the union; Moving forward toward "new fiscal compact"
[15:14] {Threei} - Determined to bolster bailout mechanisms to address debt crisis challenges.

[15:25] {cipher} lol
[15:25] {RonS} ohhh...the ultimate insult...pivot pointer
[15:25] {Threei} lol
[15:26] {Threei} (EU) EU Summit Draft: EU leaders determined to preserve integrity of the union; Moving forward toward "new fiscal compact"; Possibility of shift toward common eurozone debt issuance in LONG term should be considered
[15:26] {Threei} - Confirms to bring forward introduction of permanent ESM mechanism to Jul 2012; Existing EFSF fund to remain active until mid-2013.

[15:26] {Threei} - Determined to bolster bailout mechanisms to address debt crisis challenges.
[15:26] {Threei} - Evaluating new rule to make sure that budget deficits will not go above 0.5%/GDP.
[15:26] {Threei} - Sanctions to be imposed automatically on violators unless opposed by qualified majority vote.
[15:28] {Threei} isn't it amazing how bailouts became routine, and ESM became every day's necessity?
[15:28] {Threei} new norm
[15:32] {nemo} that was a good insult Vad..having said the (expletive deletive) it's up $1.25 since I alerted
[15:33] {nemo} $1.50
[15:33] {Threei} hey... I value good insult higher
