Session Time: Mon May 14 00:00:00 2012
[08:34] {nemo} spxu had a reverse split over the weekend, so there'll be more bang for the buck
[08:37] {Threei} Euro hits fresh 4-month lows below 1.29 as European leaders appeared more openly talking about a potential Greek EMU exit
[08:38] {Threei} that's almost like "European leaders appeared more openly talking about Sun rising in the East"
[08:39] {Threei} Additionally, worries about Spanish banks and regions have pushed Spain's 10-yr yields to highs not seen since before the ECB's Dec 8th LTRO, as recent data from the ECB has shown that Spanish banks are continuing to increase their reliance on the central bank
[09:01] {Threei} AONE Craig-Hallum Capital Cuts AONE to Sell from Hold
[09:01] {Threei} we did it on its IPO day
[09:02] {Threei} they waited till it trades at 1?
[09:17] {Beau} good morning all
[09:17] {Threei} beau :)
[09:18] {_ristorates} morning
[09:20] {Threei} ristorates :)
[09:20] {_ristorates} r mkts technically oversold?
[09:21] {Threei} this is turmoil situation, with news developing by minute... no such thing as technically oversold in this situation unless news is priced in
[09:21] {dino} gm
[09:21] {Threei} and it's not
[09:21] {Threei} dino :)
[09:22] {Threei} panic can take prices way lower than any technical read would suggest
[09:22] {RonS} gm...good answer 3i, and besides technically it is not
[09:22] {Threei} or as we love to say, oversold gets oversolder until it gets oversoldest, and then it sells some more before reversing
[09:22] {Threei} Ron :)
[09:23] {Threei} OK, we = I... beause I love butchering any language I can put my hands on
[09:23] {nemo} 666 baby here we come!!!
[09:23] {Threei} lol
[09:25] {RonS} ese would say 666.666
[09:25] {Threei} rofl
[09:26] {nemo} if we get that low, it'll be a hoot to watch him trade fitb
[09:27] {Threei} sheesh... goldbugs getting eaten alive
[09:27] {RonS} sheesh 10 yr sub 1.8
[09:28] {dino} how is a greek default not factored in by now?
[09:28] {Threei} amazing, isn't it
[09:28] {Threei} but it's pbviously not
[09:29] {nemo} I think the default was known, having said that, the exact ramifications and how far it will reverberate are not known
[09:29] {Threei} look at it this way:
[09:29] {Threei} with Greece exiting, Spain on the brink and contagion spreading, is Euro really fairly priced at 1.29?
[09:29] {dino} contrarian in me says down hard then finish just slightly lower from friday close. but, will wait and see
[09:30] {nemo} see how Europe closes
[09:30] {dino} 12715 gap
