Session Time: Tue Aug 07 00:00:00 2012
[08:38] {nemo} another day, another untradeable gap up
[08:41] {nemo} well, I'll be out of here early today if there isn't a pullback on the open
[08:44] {Threei} and these people run finances of the country:
[08:44] {Threei} (US) Fed Rosengren (voting alternate, dove): Reiterates wants substantial open ended QE tied to economic outcomes (same as overnight comment) - CNBC interview - "open ended" QE means a bond buying program which should focus on MBS, and set a monthly purchasing size of "substantial magnitude." - Notes that QE pushes up asset prices and helps housing market. - Housing market has been improving and has "some legs," partly due to what the Fed has done to date.
[08:44] {nemo} He's from Boston...what an asshole
[08:45] {Threei} with this IQ, his driving license should be suspended
[08:45] {nemo} None of these idiots seem to take into account what will happen to the price of oil when the economy "grows" and what effect that will have on growth
[08:45] {Threei} this is just one of the aspects
[08:45] {nemo} We have no growth now and $90/bbl oil...
[08:45] {Threei} there are a lot more
[08:45] {nemo} oh yeah, but that will hamstring any growth
[08:46] {nemo} it's never even mentioned
[08:46] {nemo} bunny is maniacal this morning...think she might be "in heat"

[09:20] {Will49} GM Ron

[09:21] {Will49} Hi ad
[09:21] {Will49} Vad
[09:22] {ese} gm
[09:23] {_napolm01} happy tuesday all!!
[09:24] {Threei} ese, napolm :)
[09:24] {Threei} so guys, you may remember how I said on a few occasions that we are in Genuine News market
[09:24] {Threei} look at this:
[09:24] {Threei} Louis M. Bacon is the head of Moore Capital Management, one of the largest and most influential hedge funds in the world. Last week, he announced that he was returning one quarter of his largest fund, about $2 billion, to his investors. The reason he gave to The New York Times was that he had found it difficult to invest given the impossibility of predicting the European situation. He was quoted as saying, "The political involvement is so extreme -- we have not seen this since the postwar era. What they are doing is trying to thwart natural market outcomes. It is amazing how important the decision-making of one person, Angela Merkel, has become to world markets."
[09:25] {Threei} The purpose of hedge funds is to make money, and what Bacon essentially said was that it is impossible to make money when there is heavy political involvement, because political involvement introduces unpredictability in the market. Therefore, prudent investment becomes impossible.
[09:25] {dolores} hello GM
[09:25] {Threei} dolores :)
[09:26] {Will49} Bacon should join our room :)
[09:26] {Threei} if sometimes even we, at 1 min timeframe level, get caught in sudden market turn caused by someone mouth-flapping, imagine what it must be like in their time frame and position size
[09:26] {Threei} lol
[09:27] {RonS} if he showed up 3i would be slobbering like at st bernard
[09:27] {RonS} bacon...

[10:20] {Threei} Raven, you missed this yesterday: http://photography.realitytrader.com/2012/08/great-horned-owl.html
[10:20] {Threei} dolores... all you listed makes money injection more likely
[10:21] {Threei} fresh money injection moves market up
[10:21] {nemo} yeah, that owl will kick Raven's tailfeathers
[10:21] {dolores} ok
[10:21] {Threei} so market accounts for that possibility by creeping up
[10:21] {nemo} yeah, no shorting until September
[10:21] {Threei} in the market, there is no direct logic "good - up, bad - down"
[10:22] {Threei} if it worked like this, anyone could make money in the market based on common sense
[10:22] {dolores} yeah right
[10:22] {nemo} everybody figures the politicians will blink for the EU ego, and print like there's no tomorrow
[10:23] {Threei} korreqt
[10:23] {dolores} so we need to go against common sense and get millionaires
[10:23] {_napolm01} usd will become very strong angians euro
[10:23] {Threei} and if this doesn't happen, market will lose all it gained over last weeks and much more with speed we have seen only very rarely
[10:23] {nemo} only for a littel while napalm
[10:24] {nemo} then Bennie the clam will have to print to maintain relative value and not price US exports out of the market
[10:24] {Threei} dolores, may I throw couple links on that for you to read when you have time
[10:24] {nemo} He's so hoping for that because he can then open the spigots here too
[10:24] {_napolm01} yea u are right on that
[10:24] {nemo} not as dumb as I look
[10:24] {nemo} then again
[10:25] {nemo} nobody could be THAT dumb!
[10:25] {_napolm01} hell claim our exports are taking a hit
[10:25] {Threei} http://blog.realitytrader.com/2008/03/history-teaches-us.html
[10:25] {_napolm01} looks like second leg down on cvs coming

[11:48] {Threei} this is buy and hold environment, not traders' one
[11:48] {Threei} thank goodness it's going to be over soon
[11:48] {dino} leaving behind lots of downside gaps
[11:49] {nemo} sheesh, out clf
[11:49] {nemo} can't catch a big one lately
[11:50] {nemo} of course I could kick myself for my tna entry I missed
[11:50] {Threei} meanwhile, may I entertain you by quoting my post made elsewhere in responce to a remark "I thought we settled that whole debate of central planning vs. market in 1989."
[11:50] {Threei} You know what is seriously scary? I though the same about many issues, not just central planning vs. market. Yet I see time and again that those same issues arise once again, at all levels and angles. It's as if no one knows history at all, and we are not talking about ancient Rome. Campus professors enlighten everyone willing to listen about virtues of central planning and government regulating morale with no slightest clue that their ramblings could have been lifted from the pages of Pravda of 1970. Art elites call for "compassion-based society" and bash capitalism not in the least suspecting that they quote Soviet rhetorics to the word. OWS banners and speeches are copy of those of Bolshevik's commissars of 1917. President's speeches could have been put in mouth of a member of Politburo and no one would have suspected anything.
[11:50] {Threei} On a few occasions I found myself in a dialog with some of these types and every time was stunned to discover that they haven't weighed all sides and made up their mind. Nothing of sorts. They simply had no idea that their way has been tried and failed miserably. They draw blank when asked whether they know that there was a country that tried it for 70 years and failed miserably. When USSR is named, they start babbling something incoherent about "they did it wrong way," not being able to formulate what was wrong in Soviet implementation and how theirs would be different. Talk about "those who don't learn from history..."
[11:50] {Threei} It became almost a commonplace among ex-USSR immigrants to comment on "haven't we seen it all already and don't we know how it ends."
[11:51] {dino} out chd .97, +.61
[11:51] {Threei} wtg
[11:52] {dino} ty
[12:03] {Threei} watching FAZ for signs of reversal
[12:07] {ese} excellent discussion there vad...........tks for that
[12:07] {Threei} sure thing
[12:08] {Threei} most of all, when I hear "maybe that USSR was no all that bad", I want to smack them on their head with heavy volume of Gulag Archipelago
[12:08] {nemo} mos brekaout
[12:09] {Threei} Long Setup: FAZ .77 break
[12:09] {Threei} If holds .73
[12:10] {Threei} Short Setup: BA .30 break
[12:10] {Threei} If holds .40
[12:13] {nemo} indexes going again oh oh
[12:13] {Threei} or just retest high before finally retreating
[12:13] {nemo} Bears are gonna' have to get Colostomy bags
[12:14] {nemo} given the retrace levels, I think it goes further
[12:14] {Threei} if the top is going to be formed, it's going to be formed in this way
[12:14] {Threei} so, pick the right chart formation and keep stop small
[12:14] {nemo} keep the bottle open too
[12:15] {Threei} what I am tryin g to say, and I mean to write an article on this way of thinking for a while already
[12:15] {Threei} trading is not about "this is going to happen when this indicator shows X or that level gets broken"
[12:16] {Threei} trading is about "IF this is going to happen, it's likely to do so when... see above"
[12:16] {Threei} this is the difference between academics and trders
[12:17] {Threei} academics look for stats confirming this or that indicator usefulness and don't find them,
[12:17] {Threei} so they conclude that indicator gives no edge.
[12:17] {Threei} Meanwhile traders do use it to find their edge
[12:17] {nemo} o.k , if it bounces at the 38.2 retracement or above, and breaks the high, it's a 70% chance it gets to the 27.2 extension...how's that
[12:17] {Threei} because their very approach if different
[12:18] {Threei} well, yes but even more precise would be:
[12:18] {Threei} IF it's going to get to 27.2 extension, it's likely to happen if it bounces at the 38.2 retracement or above, and breaks the high
[12:18] {Threei} see my point?
[12:20] {nemo} Actually, no...thought I said basically the same thing, but I'll give you the...oh what's the word I'm looking for....mmmmmhhhh....oy...let me have a drink first
[12:20] {nemo} ah yeah...semantics
[12:20] {Threei} no... it's a bit different thing
[12:20] {Threei} nuance is slight but important
[12:21] {nemo} o.k. wathcing futures...cash sentiment through the roof. S&P driopping, NAS about to go to new highs, DOW not doing much top 1/3 of its range

[13:40] {nemo} Ben
[13:43] {Threei} Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc Exec: Citron Research has never contacted Nu Skin; the Citron report appears to be an effort by short sellers to target direct selling companies - conf call- Had a lot of contact with China govt when it was establishing rules for direct marketing. - Our model in China differs than in other countries because of its strict rules on multi-level marketing (MLM). We use independent contractors in China to comply with Chinese rules. Do not pay multi level commissions in China as we do in other world markets. - Comfortable we are in compliance with Chinese regulators; notes 12 new direct selling licenses issued by various provinces in the last 18 months. Have been operating in China in for 8 years. - Acknowledges that China is not a risk free environment, but the size of the market justifies the risk. Expect that interpretation of Chinese rules could change over time.
