[15:03] {dptl} in fcx
[15:05] {Threei} really hard to gauge the meaning of it Les... we don't know what kinf of collateral is there, whnat kind of income these borrowers have, how good their standing is, whether they borrow because they can or because they must
[15:06] {Les} you're right. total private debt is the one to be watching.

[15:32] {Les} MACD says down, so I wouldn't be suprised by gap down opening
[15:33] {Threei} yeah but
[15:33] {Les} or gap up to sell into
[15:33] {Threei} one would think we should have seen way more fear than this
[15:33] {Les} true
