Tough week and tough end to it, ended the day in negative. Really liked just one day, the rest was one whipsaw after another with rare good trades sprinkled here and there. Happens sometimes - fortunately not very often.

[11:07] {Threei} what isn't this week, lol
[11:08] {Threei} even nemo, usually so polite and generally pleasant, this week is pure nuisance
[11:09] {thomcbell} hehehe
[11:09] {Threei} {G}
[11:09] {Threei} I think he fainted
[11:10] {Threei} or loads his gun... he doesn't usually forgive people for calling him pleasant
[11:15] {nemo} back and forth, was somebody insulting my curmudgeonly nature?
[11:16] {Threei} someone totally insane suddenly came in here, called you "nice and plesant" and left in as hurry
[11:16] {nemo} not good
[11:16] {nemo} don't let them back in
[11:16] {nemo} get me their address
[11:16] {Threei} I tried to grab him andf hold him down for you
[11:20] {nemo} iwm moves but spy doesn't really follow, and financials starting to weaken
[11:22] {nemo} probably looking at pullbacks to vwap
[11:31] {Threei} Hope of Coordinated Action Distract Markets from the Grim Reality in Athens
[11:32] {nemo} bad news being bought
[11:36] {nemo} now can this weakness break the trend lines, not so far
[11:40] {nemo} momentum continues to drop
[11:41] {Threei} but price copntinues climbing
[11:42] {nemo} can't break trend line
[11:42] {nemo} ya know a stop flush is comng though

[11:51] {Threei} lol
[11:53] {nemo} ok, this should be the drop to vwap, iwm vwap is on trendline also
[12:10] {nemo} better attach the chin pillow
[12:18] {nemo} arguably this is getting into long area
[12:18] {Threei} so slow, it can be anything
[12:19] {nemo} yeah, just saying in dications, but I would rather wait until price action reaches trendlines plotted levels or vwap
[12:21] {nemo} figures
[12:25] {Threei} drop
[12:25] {Threei} (GR) S&P issues commentary on Greece exit impact on domestic companies

[13:08] {Threei} can you believe market goes up against such a backdrop?
[13:09] {nemo} yep, expecting huge QE
[13:09] {Threei} but everything points out there won't be anything but little here and there
[13:09] {Threei} Germany doesn't budge
[13:10] {nemo} market thinks when push comes to shove capitulation on the issue
[13:10] {Threei} and doesn't look like it ever will

[14:30] {nemo} Goldman knows
[14:50] {Threei} if we finally come to some point where common sense returns to this planet, wasnt TZA near .50 fir antry with stop under .40
[14:53] {Threei} yeah right
[14:53] {Threei} no pullback whatsoever
[14:59] {Threei} if we still get this drop to around .50, it'll constitute nice legit double bottom
[15:12] {Threei} Long Setup: TZA .50 break
[15:12] {Threei} If holds .40
[15:32] {nemo} I think we still go higher

[15:58] {Threei} we will see how it goes
[15:58] {nemo} I would think spy 136 area
[15:58] {Threei} we may get that gap of yors and sell off like crazy
[15:58] {Threei} just like last Monday
[15:58] {Threei} or we may gap down big if Cyritza wins
[15:58] {nemo} and there's MPP on SPY
