May 30 2012

Somewhat groggy day; started with nice wins, then misread the direction and went into negative territory, then hit the nice run and evened it out. All this work to finish about flat. Couple charts worth a look though:

[10:49] {dino} uh, oh. was thinking same
[10:50] {Threei}  that;s not ulti,ate uh-oh... it's when we find that nemo thinks the same as we do that is a real cause for alarm
[10:50] {nemo} damn, I was thinking long
[10:50] {Threei}  whew
[10:52] {nemo} pay hanging at daily pivot
[10:52] {dino} :O
[10:54] {Threei}  FB sudden dump, no news
[10:55] {Threei}  ok... it's really time
[10:56] {dino} drop
[10:57] {Threei}  whew... dino, we win
[10:57] {Threei}  need SPY to lose .85 to cement it
[10:58] {dino} bingo
[10:59] {Threei}  market is teetering on the brink
[10:59] {Threei}  and is about to fall
[10:59] {Threei}  frikin TZA got away
[11:00] {dino} sjt drop
[11:00] {Threei}  1:1 FAZ
[11:00] {Threei}  first part out

[11:29] {Threei}  letit slide toward .20 beofee thinking of long
[11:47] {Threei}  hmmm... original plan was better
[11:50] {Threei}  I don't feel we are to see immediate drop... bounce is my play here
[11:50] {Threei} Long Setup:  IWM  .45 break
[11:50] {Threei}  If holds  .35
[11:53] {Threei}  .50 break should launch it

[12:20] {Threei}  If holds  .50
[12:22] {Threei}  let's go SPY, bears got a bit too complacent
[12:22] {Threei}  as if Europe breaks down tomorrow
[12:22] {Threei}  meanwhile we probably have till Monday
[12:23] {Threei}  to me, SPY has a bounce to 132.5 in it
[12:24] {Threei}  which puts TNA to 48.70 or so
[12:25] {Threei}  if I am incorrect, nemo will set me right
[12:26] {Threei}  nope...
[12:26] {Threei}  misreading market
[12:27] {nemo} I'm looking for IWM 76.02

[12:44] {nemo} tna
[12:44] {Threei}  this does look like a start of my bounce
[12:44] {nemo} YOUR bounce!?
[12:45] {Threei}  scroll up a little?
[12:45] {nemo} the blighter bloody well thinks he owns the market!!!
[12:45] {Threei}  sigh... bounce I was looking for - better?
[12:46] {Threei}  to read makes us speak English good

[12:48] {nemo} no wine
[12:48] {nemo} can't drink the rum...it's a present

[12:48] {nemo} nephew's percosets???
[12:48] {nemo} mmmmhhhhhh

[12:48] {nemo} can you say bored....
[12:49] {nemo} I"m looking for IWM to 76.54 and spy to 132
[12:50] {nemo} pay might be long here too
[12:50] {nemo} long .71
[12:51] {nemo} stop is .59
[12:52] {nemo} target is 37.20 area
[12:55] {nemo} took half at .82, it's working too hard for this
[12:56] {nemo} stops are to be
[12:56] {nemo} b/e
[12:57] {nemo} actually, make sto on pay .64
[13:02] {nemo} bummer

[13:20] {Threei}  going to start partialing around .40 - .45
[13:25] {Threei}  1:1 for scalpers
[13:30] {Threei}  ok
[13:31] {Threei}  first partial out
[13:31] {Threei}  .43
[13:31] {Threei}  for once patience paid off
[13:31] {Threei}  stop to .19
[13:33] {Threei}  took patience in both, witing for entry on pullback to that .20, and in exiting
[13:33] {Threei}  friking 30 min
[13:33] {dino} bit of a rally taking place
[13:33] {Threei}  offering next piece between .55 and .60
[13:33] {Threei}  your QCOM doing fair too
[13:34] {dino} indeed
[13:34] {nemo} spy bounced off Weeky Pivot Point
[13:34] {Threei}  anyone follows this IWM?
[13:34] {Threei}  it's intended as a day-fixing trade
[13:36] {dino} not i, 3i
[13:38] {Beau} getting comfortable withlaser so paper trade. will they give me $ if I tell them I meant to be real?
[13:39] {dino} sure
[13:39] {Beau} oh well
[13:40] {Threei}  you need to get the famous "go back to paper if stopped, to real money if profitable" button
[13:40] {Beau} geat-- i'm looking for it. nemo probably hid it
[13:46] {dino} whr spike
[13:57] {nemo} nothing like August trading
[13:57] {nemo} vrtx retraced 10.00 in less than 2 days
[13:59] {nemo} make that 10.50
[14:01] {Threei}  second partial .56
[14:02] {Threei}  stop to .29
[14:02] {Threei}  day fix in progress
[14:03] {Threei}  offering last part above .70 for +.50 target
06[14:03] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large "MY BOINCE" banner
[14:04] {nemo} Hey! I caugtht the bottom, you just made more money than I did on it
[14:05] {Threei}  I also slapped you good
[14:05] {Threei}  that's 2:1
[14:05] {nemo} I'll shoot you better
[14:05] {Threei}  that's "ll"
[14:29] {dino} sfly spike
[14:29] {dino} whr spikes again
[14:30] {dino} whr us sets duties on korean washers
[14:34] {Threei}  it's almost an hour old news
[14:34] {Threei}  fresh reaction seems unlikely
[14:35] {dino} don't shoot the messanger
[14:35] {Threei}  no, just prividing a background to help with decisions
[14:37] {dino} ;)
[14:39] {thomcbell} long setup::  FB 28.16 break if holding 28.06
[14:39] {Threei}  I like setup... I hate the stock
[14:39] {Threei}  company
[14:39] {Threei}  site
[14:39] {Threei}  CEO
[14:40] {thomcbell} agreed
[14:41] {thomcbell} have never seen anything like this - i full fledged institutional community snub
[14:41] {thomcbell} will be case studies on it for sure
[14:41] {Threei}  there are lot of things went wrong with this one...
[14:43] {dino} seems to me they disguised a secondary as an ipo, as so many already had the stock prior to ipo. then they sold
[14:43] {Threei}  that looks to be the major underlying problem
[14:45] {Threei}  plus overestimating the demand, overpricing the IPO and overissuing the shares
[14:45] {Threei}  plus CEO being a kid
[14:45] {Threei}  plus MS botching a lot of things to keep the deal
[14:45] {dino} not to mention downgrading it at issuance
[14:45] {Threei}  plus NASDAQ botching first day
[14:49] {thomcbell} volume pattern still terribly bearish on FB
[14:49] {Threei}  and CEO is still wears hoodie
[14:49] {Threei}  is wears... sigh
[14:50] {thomcbell} keeping stop 28.06 for now b/c potential for a decent trade is there
[14:53] {dptl} pay short.60?
[14:53] {Threei}  I think so
[14:55] {thomcbell} stop to 28.09 on FB
[14:56] {thomcbell} i hit it out at 28.09 on fb
[14:56] {thomcbell} road kill
[14:57] {Threei}  probably to the best
[14:57] {Threei}  this thing doesn't look like it's going to hold 28
[14:58] {dptl} rost short .40?
[14:58] {Threei}  too narrow
[15:04] {Threei}  last piece is dumped
[15:04] {Threei}  didn't reach last target but no complaints on the trade
[15:07] {dino} amln drop
[15:08] {thomcbell} FB volume has really slowed down
[15:08] {thomcbell} no pressure on this dip in indexes
[15:15] {dptl} pay valid again?
[15:20] {dptl} short pay.59
[15:20] {dino} open spike
[15:24] {dptl} stopped...(one cent to 1:1 couldn't do it,sigh)
[15:30] {thomcbell} possible bear trap there with fb
[15:31] {thomcbell} i am leaving it alone however
[15:44] {dptl} gn all
[15:45] {dino} cya dp
[15:54] {nemo} spy can't get above vwap
[15:54] {Threei}  not a bullish closing at all
[15:54] {Threei}  softly speaking
[15:54] {nemo} no but it's above the weekly pivot
[15:54] {nemo} I'd call it neutral
[15:56] {dino} up 140 tuesday down 150 wed
[15:56] {nemo} so, big doji between the two days
[15:56] {Threei}  I feel general context is negative
[15:56] {Threei}  dino's right
[15:57] {Threei}  attempt at strenght got quelled next day
[15:57] {nemo} yep
[15:57] {Threei}  and even overwhelmed
[15:57] {Threei}  barring Greece bailing out Spain and Italy bailing out both of them pklus Portugal on top, down we go
[15:59] {nemo} buy more bullets
[15:59] {dino} thx all, gn
[15:59] {Threei}  thank you all
[15:59] {Threei}  have a good evening, see you tomorrow
