[09:04] {nemo} A virgin sacrifice would have helped, but they're hard to find these days
[09:04] {Threei}  I understand... problems, problems
[09:05] {nemo} well, trade on IWM related.  Could have been IWM TNA UWM, etc.

[09:24] {Threei}  so the collapse is not this weekend yet if true
[09:26] {Threei}  could just as easily tunr out to be merely a speculation

[09:54] {nemo} stealth climb in indexes
[09:54] {Threei}  disregard MS
[09:56] {Threei}  JPM's own setup is good, SPY disagrees
[09:57] {Threei}  OK, let's do a compromise - stop to .41
[09:57] {Threei}  tightening risk
[09:58] {Threei}  it's relative weakness looks promising but if market continues climbing...
[09:59] {scottie} out jpm flat
[09:59] {Threei}  out
[09:59] {Threei}  no news for this market move

[10:22] {Threei}  thinking

[10:32] {Threei}  (EU) IMF: Hopeful G20 will make decisions regarding IMF resources at the upcoming meeting
[10:32] {Threei}  no go
[10:33] {Threei}  IMF had to open their mouth right this moment
[10:33] {Threei}  - NYSE volume 125M shares, about 24% below its three-month average; - NASDAQ volume 305M shares, about 19% below its three-month average
[10:34] {Threei}  with this volume, no wonder we get these whipsaws
[10:35] {scottie} cat rinse
[10:35] {Threei}  rinse is the constant motive of last two days
[10:36] {Threei}  I don't remember when we saw that many of them
[10:36] {Threei}  look it it
[10:37] {dino} pvh sm s .80 ave, bstop .01
[10:41] {dino} stop .99, -.19
[10:41] {dino} not my day so far
[10:41] {Threei}  50% Trust Romney More Than Obama To Handle Economy
[10:41] {Threei}  I'll trust only those who promise to stop handling it
[10:44] {Threei}  SPY starts looking like new highs in cards
[10:44] {Threei}  so, if that transpires, lt's try and adjust to rinses:
[10:44] {Threei}  let CAT break .90m, wait for a drop to about ,70, then enter
[10:45] {dino} pvh rinsed
[10:45] {Threei}  welcome to the club
[10:46] {dino} i'd like to says thanks, but...
[10:46] {Threei}  yeah :)
[10:47] {dino} i don't understand how this market is staying up w/all the euro news
[10:47] {Threei}  denial... hope for Greece election to go EU wasy...
[10:47] {Threei}  then Spain worries take over
[10:48] {Threei}  but for now Greece is the closest trouble
[10:49] {dino} the whole continent is going under
[10:50] {Threei}  well, it's so obvious by now that I have hard time understanding why Euro is not under parity yet
[10:50] {Threei}  maybe enormity of the event just prevents players from seeing it for what it is
[10:52] {Threei}  or they really hope for Germany to yiled to the pressure and take over all the debts
[10:52] {Threei}  (as if it fixes anything)
[10:52] {dino} i'm telling you, if i were germany i'd just leave the euro go back to d-mark
[10:54] {Threei}  in an ironic twist, this time CAT decided not to rinse
[10:56] {ese} outta here....busy couple of days....cya tomorrow
