[11:41] {thomcbell} aig
[11:41] {thomcbell} although i feel it has some more in it and dont want to get shaken out
[11:43] {Threei} .64 is just right stop
[11:44] {Threei} The S&P500 and Nasdaq are racking up steady gains this morning, with the Greek debt exchange apparently headed for success. The most recent headlines suggest that the participation rate has topped the key 75% level, further bolstering gains.

[12:06] {vijay} Hi Vad, how does FOSL look for a short break .20?
[12:06] {Threei} it's under .10 already

[13:39] {Threei} total stall
[13:47] {vijay} F looks like short ?

[13:48] {vijay} mmm ok

[13:48] {Threei} thisd is typicsl scalp type 1 stock
[13:48] {nemo} we're walking Quartely level in spy, and just about touched Quarterly level on IWM

[14:49] {dino} just thinking the same thing.
[14:50] {rambler} what is called a negative divergence...?
[14:50] {Threei} in what context?
[14:51] {rambler} SPY climbs, STMP does not...
[14:51] {Les} giddyup as dino would say
[14:51] {Threei} ok, lol
[14:51] {rambler} it wants down...
[14:51] {Threei} GR) Investor participation in Greece debt swap deal pushing above 90% - Greece financial ress- Most recent reports indicated participation was near 85%
[14:55] {dino} stmp stop is hod
[14:58] {dino} dieeeee stmp dieeeeeeeeeeee
[14:58] {rambler} frickin' thing is stubborn...
[15:04] {rambler} well, the 8 dma has crossed below the 20 dma so therefore....it shall drop...lol
[15:06] {rambler} not listening...
[15:07] {dino} problem is our short entry should've been .99 to .70
[15:08] {rambler} hindsight makes everything so clear...
[15:09] {dino} lol, indeed.
[15:09] {Threei} I even special-ordered trading glasses once, with word "Hindsight" engraved at the lenses...
[15:10] {dino} think they were for different kind of (be)hind
[15:11] {rambler} lol..
[15:15] {Les} s stmp .87
[15:18] {Les} received new Nikon 18x binoculars today, just in time for full moon. awesome view...

[15:19] {Les} Santa came late this year for me...
[15:20] {Les} Canon G12
[15:26] {Les} plenty of bearish divergence. indexes and usual suspects
[15:26] {Les} not sure what its good for though...
[15:26] {Threei} it's a decent high end point and shoot
[15:27] {Les} saves me switching lenses on the bigger SLR
[15:28] {Threei} at a cost... :)
[15:28] {Les} bought a diving case for it too. Gonna try it out at the pool this weekend
[15:28] {Threei} so, let's try and decipher last 30 min
[15:28] {Threei} drop or locked?
[15:29] {Threei} I think TZA .65 break worth a try
[15:29] {Threei} has a good chance for something like .75 - .78
[15:34] {Les} I'm in. stop under .58?
[15:34] {Threei} yup
[15:34] {Threei} with 5 wins, can I afford one stop?
[15:36] {Les} half out
[15:37] {Threei} just don't trail to b/e, IMO
[15:37] {Threei} keep it at .59
[15:37] {Threei} worst case scenario it will be a wash
[15:37] {Les} yeh 3 min MACD says downtrend is good, even as they try a wiggle here
[15:38] {Les} yet S&P just found support marked by Nemo above 137
[15:43] {nemo} weird how Goldman isn't up much today
[15:46] {Threei} you are right
[15:46] {nemo} about what?
