[10:46] thanx ese
[10:46] tks
[10:46] renn short float 25%
[10:47] ouuuuuuu.....didn't know that ron.......some panic takin place
[10:47] Ron where are you getting your short info
[10:48] easy to check this stuff on finviz.com
[10:48] whoa....look at it go
[10:48] tks
[10:49] hmmmm.....never seen this site before
[10:51] -Vad......look at slw
[10:51] shot up
[10:51] after we sold'
[10:51] been the best free thing on net for 3 yrs running
01[10:51]  that's fine samire
01[10:52]  I play what I can read, and that move into resistance was what I could read at the moment
[10:52] noone could have predicted that eur move samire
01[10:52]  look at the 1 min chart in retrospect:
01[10:53]  nasty drop from .90 to under .50,
01[10:53]  red bar after red bar,
01[10:53]  no slightest atempt to bounce, killing bottom-fishers
[10:53] i c
01[10:53]  look how perfectly we go it on double boottom - it RETROSPECT :)
01[10:53]  in
[10:54] yes
01[10:54]  but double bottom is an immediate setup, so to speak,
01[10:54]  in a sense that it allows you to read the next move, and not much beyond that
01[10:54]  holding for more or finding next entry would require separate independent setup
01[10:55]  again, look at the same chart and see the resistance around .70:
01[10:55]  9:30 to 9:40 roughly
01[10:55]  bottom of the drops
01[10:56]  broken later around 9:45
01[10:56]  and becoming a resistance
01[10:56]  so, as immediate setup double bottom gave us target
01[10:57]  and I played setup as I saw and could read it
[10:57] great 
01[10:57]  thus no regrets
01[10:57]  I mean, look at it this way:
01[10:57]  there are about 10,000 stocks,
01[10:57]  many of them make moves that you never see or never get a chance to play ot can't read
01[10:58]  there is whole universe of moves you don't participate in, for whatever reason
01[10:58]  this is jist one of them :)
[10:58] yes
[11:01] gs stop -.32. i suck today

[14:58] ...am hearing the greek austerity vote is 7 edt...can anyone confirm?
[14:58] a.m.
01[14:58]  there are a few steps to it ron
01[14:58]  let me find it
01[14:59]  Timeline for Greek parliament votes on five-year austerity and privization plans on June 29th and 30th
01[14:59]  - There will be two votes in the Greek parliament on the five-year medium-term government austerity plan, the so-called Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy (MTFS).
01[14:59]  - First will come a vote on the general plan on Wednesday morning ET (Wednesday afternoon, local time), then a vote on the law to implement the measures on Thursday morning ET (Thursday afternoon local time).
01[14:59]  - If the parliament votes no (analysts see a 30% probability), the 12B tranche of the EU/IMF would be blocked and Greece would be left grappling for funding in a political vacuum pending a likely general election.
01[14:59]  - Yes votes will shift the immediate focus will shift to the Eurogroup meeting on July 3rd. The Eurogroup will look to define a three-year package effectively removing the need for Greece to access bond markets before 2015. While there is no final number as of yet, a package of 85-120B seems likely split between new EU/IMF loans worth 40-70B, Greek privatization receipts of around 25B and private creditor participation of 20-30B.

01[15:44]  I wouldn't be
01[15:45]  ths kind of things will greatly undermnine your performance
01[15:45]  stocks will go and you will be left in the dust
01[15:45]  you are trying to guess which one works and which one doesn't
01[15:45]  good luck with that
[15:46] i know...it is my bad
[15:46] bye
01[15:47]  (EU) ECB's Trichet: Europe requires a quantum leap in economic governance; reiterates call for a euro zone finance ministry
01[15:47]  - Soft policy cooordination in the euro zone has met the limits of utility, Europe urgently needs a renewed vision for governance.
01[15:47]  oh boy
01[15:47]  these guys won't quit until they destroy everything
[15:47]  whr stop -.13
[15:48] The Greeks are about to put the kaibosh to the Euro
01[15:48]  you think?
[15:48] never
[15:48] you?
01[15:48]  no
01[15:49]  all the projections seem to be that austerity passes
[15:49] ruin our reputation
[15:49] yeah, but even if it does, the Cretins will strike and protest, and....and there won't be the revenues to pay the bills
[15:50] but the greeks will default by summer 2012 and get out of euro. thats my bet
[15:50] i'm w/nemo. they cannot pay
[15:50] yeah, 2012, end of the world......
[15:50] ....financial system
[15:50] They'll continue to fight for their right to retire at puberty
[15:51] lol
01[15:51]  so, the likeliest deelpment is:
01[15:52]  measures pass the parliament but never get implemented anyway
01[15:52]  agree?
[15:52] even if they get implemented they won't succeed
[15:52] but its the rest of euro countries rught to work longer to support them
[15:52] Yep...and the right will rise again in Germany...
[15:53] right
[15:53] La Penn will likely come to the fore in France also
[15:53] i've been thinking alot lately that if i were greece, i'd just default now
[15:53] which will also start upping the pressure on Islam
[15:53] oh shit, I'm thinking again
[15:54] Where's the Vodka
[15:54] in freezer
[15:54] ahhh...thanks
[15:55] 2012 is gonna' be a frickin' mess
[15:55] I"m going to play with the rabbit

[15:56] bye :)
01[15:57]  thank you all, have a good evening
01[15:57]  see you tomorrow

Jun 27 2011

Started day with a few stops, and even though caught some wins later on, still finished day in red. 

Session Time: Mon Jun 27 00:00:00 2011
[08:45] {davd} gm all
[08:45] {Threei}  morning davd
[08:47] {nemo} should be quiet week...big holiday coming up, earnings don't start until the 11th
[08:47] {Threei}  unless Greece thing heats up
[08:47] {nemo} yeah, if we could get a couple of big bank failures back to the good old days of FAZ ;)
[08:51] {Threei}  (GR) Greece Gov't Spokesperson: To begin state asset sales in two-three months
[08:51] {Threei}  - Sales to begin once state agency is set up
[08:51] {Threei}  ** FX dealers noted that last week a journalist asked EU Juncker about the Greek privatization plan by suggesting to him that - under the terms - Greece had to effectively sell an asset every 10 days...and given that they haven't sold anything in over a year how does he expect them to do this. Juncker's answer: "They will have to do so."
[09:04] {Threei}  German Dep Fin Min Asmussen: The euro is in danger of losing legitimacy
[09:04] {Threei}  that's a laugh
[09:11] {RonS} gm...3i, ever heard of or been to Red Fish Blue Fish?
[09:12] {Threei}  Ron :)
[09:12] {Threei}  no
[09:12] {Threei}  well, walked by
[09:12] {Threei}  haven't been to
[09:13] {Threei}  why?
[09:13] {larisa} gm :)
[09:13] {Threei}  larisa :)
[09:14] {larisa} vad :)
[09:14] {RonS} they were featured on one of the food channels
[09:15] {RonS} supposedly better fish and chips than in Britain
[09:15] {dino} gm all
[09:15] {Threei}  quite an achievemtn for what is essentially fast food destination :)
[09:15] {Threei}  dino :)
[09:16] {Threei}  it's more like a kiosk on the shore
[09:17] {Threei}  you come in, stand in line, get your food in a paper tray or plate, sit at the wooden table or (more likely) stand anywhere around and eat with plastic fork
[09:18] {Threei}  http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/photo_list/1349017?photo_id=213567
[09:19] {Threei}  http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/photo_list/1349017?photo_id=182300
[09:19] {Threei}  you get the idea
[09:22] {RonS} yep, that's the place...anyway, Victoria has lots to see and do...
[09:23] {Threei}  oh yeah
[09:24] {Threei}  5 years in, I still discover new places, attractions etc
[09:24] {RonS} quite amazing for such a small town, special place imo
[09:25] {Threei}  very
[09:25] {Threei}  and small is relative... it's spread out big time
[09:26] {Threei}  most tourist never venture out of core, and even thatg can keep them busy for many days
[09:27] {Threei}  slight gap up slowly dissipates
[09:28] {Threei}  RIMM, spread is too wide for now but if tightens and consolidates close to .60, short on breakdown of this support is in order
[09:28] {Threei}  uhhu
[09:28] {Threei}  forget it
[09:29] {ese} gm
[09:29] {Threei}  ese :)
[09:29] {Threei}  also, Ron, among what (well, who) to see here are ese, patience and pragmatic :)

[14:24] {samire} broke .9
[14:24] {Threei}  it hit 1:1
[14:24] {Threei}  what do we do when it happens?
[14:24] {samire} be
[14:25] {samire} it did it reach 39.10 ?????
[14:25] {Threei}  As the price moves in our favor, full exit or partial exits are taken at the levels that we call risk/reward ratios. In this case, 1:1 will be reached around $10.10 (10 cents initial risk to 10 cents profit). Scalpers take full exit at this level; day traders take first partial and trail their stop under the breakeven point. Next partial is taken around 1:2, etc. Most often our partials consist of 1/2, 1/4 and 1/4.
[14:25] {Threei}  samire... do you have charts??
[14:25] {samire} yes
