Fair day: profitable but without excesses. We like excesses on profit side though, so let's see if we can make it excessive tomorrow.
Session Time: Thu Jan 05 00:00:00 2012
[09:06] {Threei} OK... I had to make a decision, and I made it: I am going to wake up now
[09:07] {swill} wtg
[09:07] {Threei} ty
[09:07] {Threei} may I consider daily tasks accomplisged at this point, and go back to sleep?
[09:08] {swill} your choice
[09:09] {Threei} you are too kind
[09:09] {swill} i know
[09:10] {swill} i'll go back to bed then
[09:10] {Threei} don't
[09:11] {swill} lol
[09:11] {Threei} let's make some money, then by all means :)
[09:11] {Threei} had a great day yesterday... may try to repeat it just as well
[09:11] {swill} i'm up for it
[09:12] {Threei} that TNA 40 cents trade was like a gift from high above... it was like a stock just waited for us to enter
[09:12] {JK13} good morning
[09:12] {Threei} jk :)
[09:13] {Threei} (EU) EFSF chief Regling: Very confident in euro
[09:13] {Threei} The very fact that this confidence has to be announced tells a lot about just how much confidence there is... I mean, anyone ever thought of expressing confidence that there will be a sunrise tomorrow?
[09:15] {rambler} morning....
[09:15] {stewy} good morning Vad
[09:15] {cc_8} Good morning

[09:20] {stewy} thx. after months of exile, good to be here
[09:20] {Threei} I kno what you mean... I had this out of body experience through the whole fall, and fooled whole room - everyone thought I actually was here
[09:21] {swill} were you really in bed
[09:21] {Threei} customary back and forth with nemo helped, looked very natural
[09:22] {Threei} I suspect I was on Krypton, swill...
[09:22] {Threei} maybe it was Titan, not sure
[09:22] {Threei} sirens were there
[09:23] {Threei} Euro has its behind chewed off this morning
[09:23] {Threei} under 1.28
[09:24] {Threei} first time in over 2 years
[09:25] {Threei} unusually strong ADP numbers propped SPY, but gains are almost erased by now
[09:26] {Threei} I think let's skip first min or two
[09:26] {Threei} there likely to be some confusion about initial direction
[09:26] {rambler} DNDN up huge this am
[09:26] {Threei} let's sit it out
[09:26] {Threei} DNDN had news

[09:28] {Threei} in trsditions of tweeting generation, I'd say: TLDR
[09:29] {Threei} my first impulse is to short
[09:30] {Threei} but let's try and find good bounce for entry
[09:30] {Threei} watching FCX and SLW
[09:31] {Threei} no bounce to speak of, FCX
[09:31] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .10 break
[09:31] {Threei} grrr, too fast
[09:31] {Threei} no chasing
[09:32] {Threei} FCX, should bounce now, ideally our short entry would be above .30
[09:33] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .65 break

[09:45] {Threei} - Notes that Asia countries have the capacity to help in Europe crisis

[11:34] {Threei} now it's:
[11:34] {Threei} Update: GM announces enhancements to Chevrolet Volt following investigation into post-severe crash battery performance
[11:34] {Threei} so, the chain is: there is nothing wrong with it - but we will fix it easily - and now we will "enhance" it
[11:35] {Threei} what are the chances of me buying any GM vehicle, ever...
[11:35] {rambler} slim to none for me.....
[11:35] {Threei} even crash dummies should stay away from it

[12:40] {rambler} ok, back in the saddle...
[12:41] {Threei} notice, thanks to extreme violence
[12:42] {Threei} National GOP Poll: Romney 29%, Santorum 21%, Gingrich 16%
[12:42] {Threei} and I suppose, Generic Republican somewhere in 70 :)
[12:43] {rambler} I'm kinda pulling for Santorum myself.....
[12:44] {rambler} the underdog...
[12:45] {Threei} "unelectable" on his forehead, I think...
[12:46] {rambler} lol
[12:46] {Threei} his social policies are as far from mainstream as Ron Paul's foreign policy
[12:46] {rambler} mainstream is the problem.....
[12:47] {Threei} that's why public is rooting for Generic Republican so much... each of actual candidates has a skeleton of dinosaur size in the closet
[12:48] {Threei} ok, WFC needs to stop this, or I will get a strong case of scalper's regret
[12:49] {Threei} and since nemo is not here and I need an outlet for frustration, can I slap cc_8?
[12:49] {rambler} need long arms...
