Aug 15 2012

Very nice day with surprising number of good trades for such low volume (38% below 3 month average on NYSE or so). Today's Catch of the Day is absolute beauty. Aggressive entry for C&H break, just as Handle started turning up. Classic trade described in details in 111 Trades (http://www.realitytrader.com/111trades.html).  Tight stop, nice reward.



Session Time: Wed Aug 15 00:00:00 2012

[10:28] {nemo} it's in a frickin' coma
[10:28] {Threei}  I dunno nemo... on one hand it's narrow and boring
[10:28] {Threei}  on another, as month goes we adjust and extract steady albeit not big profits
[10:28] {thomcbell} i couldnt imagine trying to trade real money in this tape - not even real money - 100k positions are hard enough

[11:19] {Threei}  public sure sees media as fair and balanced:
[11:19] {Threei}  51% Expect Most Reporters To Help Obama; 9% Predict Most Will Help Romney
[11:20] {cipher} agco l.67
[11:20] {Will49} media generally tends to lean left
[11:20] {dino} lol, ya think
[11:20] {dino} way left
[11:21] {Will49} yea...agree
[11:21] {jackharry} That is very much the case here too, must be the same everywhere
[11:21] {Will49} i was trying to be political with my statement
[11:23] {dino} rather be truthful
[11:23] {Will49} read once that reporters/journalists start their careers in areas like police beats and develop a dislike for authority

[11:41] {dino} gj vad-ster
[11:41] {Threei}  I am not a specialist in ag... if what this article describes is true, this is the brightest illustration of ideology trumping common sense
[11:41] {Threei}  ty
[11:43] {Beau} +.27  thanks a bunch vad
[11:43] {Threei}  yw
[11:43] {Threei}  wait for a visual, quite an interesting setup
[11:43] {Threei}  right from 111 Trades pages
[11:49] {Threei}  http://goo.gl/NgGDA
[11:50] {Will49} frame that!
[11:50] {Threei}  helps visualize?
[11:51] {Will49} absolutely
[11:51] {Beau} yes on setup but how figure potential?
[11:51] {Beau} which was just about right on
[11:52] {Threei}  well, 87 break for C&H with handle low being about 15cents,
[11:52] {Threei}  this tyoe of breaks usuallu produces 1:2 - 1:3
[11:52] {Threei}  so by buying handle low aggressively we have 1:3 with good cushion
[11:53] {Threei}  that's why comment was "87.15 or more"
[11:53] {Threei}  and more it is, lol
[11:54] {Beau} understand.  many hours of trading. thanks
[11:54] {Threei}  this still being august I was a bit more conservative
[11:54] {Threei}  normally I'd call .40-.50 on this kind of trade
[11:54] {Threei}  and look, we are at .30 already
[11:54] {Threei}  I mean .35
[11:54] {Threei}  I mean .40
[11:55] {Threei}  grrr... lol
[11:55] {Will49} greedy, greedy :)
[11:55] {scottie} greast lesson today Vad
[11:55] {scottie} great
[11:55] {Will49} I'll second that
06[11:55] * Threei takes a bow
[11:55] {Will49} standing O
[11:56] {scottie} BOHICA
[11:56] {Will49} lol
[11:56] {Threei}  lol
[12:11] {dino} .
[12:12] {nemo} back market still trading, IWM looks short
[12:12] {nemo} bummer, missed ctsh by 2 minutes
[12:15] {Threei} Short Setup: JPM  .20 break
[12:15] {Threei}  If holds  .25
[12:15] {Threei}  just a smallish scalp most likely
[12:17] {Threei}  sheesh... jacj, this article you linked is really something
[12:18] {Threei}  not that I didn't know all this, but when it's condensed like this...
[12:18] {thomcbell} what is the article address?
[12:18] {jackharry} http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2188453/The-case-Europe-MEP-Daniel-Hannan-reveals-disturbing-contempt-democracy-heart-EU.html
[12:19] {Threei}  there was a standing title on soviet TV, "USSR in the eyes of guests from abroad"
[12:19] {Threei}  I feel like re-watching it, lol
[12:20] {jackharry} The scary thing is that that is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg
[12:21] {Threei}  how come USSR model, proven to be disastrous, attracts new followers that attempt to build it again, I just can't wrap my mind around it
[12:21] {nemo} that's what we were saying back in the 80's...how you gonna' force these disparate cultures together
[12:21] {Threei}  drop every other school subject and teach the ^%#*&^ history only
[12:22] {Threei}  oh wait, those who teach in schools are socialists themselves
[12:22] {jackharry} for example, the EU's own auditors have not been prepared to sign off on the EU's accounts for 17, (yes SEVENTEEN) years running
[12:22] {Threei}  no... it's hopeless... let's trade, spend and enjoy what we can while it lasts
[12:22] {Threei}  with sardonic smirk on our sarcastic faces
[12:24] {nemo} here we go
[12:27] {nemo} iwm broke out...looks like spy buillding up under morn ing high
[12:28] {jackharry} Scarily it is now estimated that 60% of new laws and regulations for the UK (and I suppose it's the same for other countries) now come from the unelected burocrats of the EU Commission rather than our own parliament
[12:29] {Threei}  anyone believes this is going to end well?
[12:29] {nemo} did the Soviet Union?
[12:31] {Will49} the answer is blowin' in the wind
[12:31] {nemo} oh jeez...back to Peter Paul and Will
[12:31] {nemo} wtf
[12:32] {Will49} just like nobody knows where the stockmarket will go, nobody knows where society will go.
[12:32] {nemo} well, they have a general cycle
[12:32] {nemo} look to spy to break
[12:33] {Will49} I like vad's attitude though. just do your thing and enjoy the things you have instead of what you don't have
[12:33] {Will49} thats a paraphrase Vad
[12:34] {Threei}  pretty close
[12:35] {Will49} should say "instead of worrying about what you don't have"
[12:36] {nemo} spy break
[12:37] {Will49} and another thing....we should never underestimate the Americans. After living and working in the States half my life, I wouldn't bet against them
[12:37] {nemo} wow...unbelievable...social security is buying 174 thousand rounds of bullets
[12:37] {dino} appreciate that will
[12:37] {nemo} government is buying up all the production
[12:38] {Will49} are you kidding nemo?
[12:38] {Threei}  my view on that, Will: if there is a country in the world that still has a chance to "un-screw" things, it's USA. The odds of it doing that become slimmer and slimmer though, with this coming election being criticsal point
[12:38] {nemo} Homeland Security has ordered almost 1 billion rounds, NOAA has orderd severeal hundred thousand and now Social Security
[12:38] {nemo} No I'm not
[12:39] {Will49} Yankees have been there- done that
[12:39] {Threei}  re-elect wealth redistributor in chief and it's over
[12:39] {Will49} nah
[12:39] {Threei}  ok, I am telling:
[12:39] {Threei}  nemo... will is optimistic!!!
[12:40] {Will49} YES
[12:40] {Will49} remember the old adage. America will do the right thing...after they've tried everything else
[12:41] {Threei}  yes... but electing this guy first time, they exhausted "everything else'
[12:41] {Threei}  fine, they were enchanted with idea of underdog, first black prez etc
[12:41] {Will49} don;t be so "Russian" Vad :)
[12:41] {Threei}  he was like teflon-clad
[12:42] {Threei}  but now 4 years later they know what he is for and against
[12:42] {Threei}  and if they do reelect him, it signals major change in american mentality, from wealth-creation to wealth-redsistribution
[12:42] {Will49} exactly..that's why I'm betting Mitt gets in
[12:45] {nemo} mmmmmhhhh...cat here
[12:45] {Will49} just struck me that IF US morphs toward the kind of mixed economy we have in Canada it wouldn't be bad thing, eh?
[12:46] {nemo} thinking short
[12:46] {nemo} what do you mean by mixed economy?
[12:48] {Will49} fairly equal parts government and private sector with good regulation
[12:48] {nemo} problem is government doesn't answer to anything
[12:48] {nemo} de
[12:48] {nemo} they get their revenue from the taxpayer
[12:48] {Will49} that'sthe regulation part
[12:49] {nemo} no competition
[12:49] {nemo} yeah
[12:49] {Will49} unbridled competition gets you in trouble
[12:49] {nemo} too much of anything gets you into trouble
[12:49] {Will49} true dat
[12:50] {dino} les is better will
[12:50] {dino} less regulation, less govt
[12:50] {nemo} spoken like a true English subject
[12:50] {Threei}  les will be happy to get your endorsement dino
[12:50] {dino} just look at canadas health care mess
[12:51] {Will49} "mess" is in the mind of the beholder
[12:51] {dino} they come to usa for operations/treatments.
[12:51] {nemo} we face a similar one as more people get closer to Medicare.  Already, many doctors have stopped accepting Medicare patients
[12:51] {Will49} recognized as one of the best in the world
[12:51] {dino} so is ours
[12:51] {nemo} what is?
[12:51] {nemo} Canadian?
[12:51] {dino} soon to be destroyed by obamacare
[12:51] {nemo} for Primary Care yes
[12:52] {dino} no skin in the game will bankrupt it
[12:52] {nemo} not for timeliness of specialty care
[12:52] {dino} agree w/nemo
[12:52] {Will49} Canada's system gets better results at half the cost AND nobody waits for emergency care
[12:52] {dino} you are only reading what the liberals want you to see
[12:52] {nemo} nobody waits for emergency care here either
[12:53] {Threei}  will... prety much standard 8 hours in ER... many month and often years waitng time for surgeries taking days in USA
[12:53] {Will49} sure we have to wait a few months for elective stuff, but that's what Aleve is for
[12:53] {nemo} Will....my doctor, and my nephew's doctor are Canadian
[12:53] {nemo} you know why?
[12:53] {Threei}  debilitating pains stretched out for years
[12:53] {nemo} So isn't my nephew
[12:53] {nemo} doctor's partner?
[12:53] {nemo} No jobs
[12:53] {Will49} not me experience at all Vad
[12:53] {Will49} my
[12:53] {nemo} Canadian healthcare buys a certain amount of healthcare a year
[12:53] {dino} fact of the matter is, everybody is covered in usa right now. thru medicaid, if you cannot pay you are covered
[12:53] {nemo} It's rationed
[12:53] {Threei}  mine, and a lot of others...
[12:54] {nemo} elective cancer treatment
[12:54] {nemo} yeah
[12:54] {nemo} great
[12:55] {Threei}  friend with knee replacement, 18 months wait
[12:55] {Will49} I guess we could go on all day about this, eh?
[12:55] {Threei}  I've been to ER twice over 16 years, 8 hours each time
[12:55] {nemo} simple fact...primary care and emergency fine...same here...forget specialty care...it's rationed and take a number
[12:55] {dino} right
[12:56] {dino} and rationing will start in usa soon, as too few doctors for the extra 40 million coming into the system
[12:56] {nemo} it has started here already
[12:56] {dino} soon we will go to mexico for specialty care, lol
[12:56] {nemo} People forget: there was no "healthcare system" before WWII
[12:56] {Threei} Short Setup: CAT  .40 break
[12:56] {Threei}  If holds  .50
[12:56] {nemo} it became the dream of the post-WWII generation
[12:57] {dino} the other thing they forget, imo, medical insurance is a choice, as in do i buy this new car or buy insurance
[12:57] {nemo} this low volume bounce on DE
[12:57] {dino} just another notch for the nanny state
[12:57] {nemo} what a stealthy rally
[12:58] {nemo} yeah, well, if you're a lousy driver, they jack up your rates
[12:58] {nemo} if you're obese, alcoholic, don't take care of yourself, they don't
[12:58] {nemo} that's fair
[12:58] {thomcbell} a bunch of transport names trade well today
[12:58] {nemo} DE has overhead resistance in .30 area
[12:59] {nemo} but it breaks that, goes to 76 imo
[13:00] {dino} \good point nemo. thats what i meant by the plan is destined to fail because "there is no skin in the game". everybody will run to docs just for a cold because its no "free"
[13:00] {dino} no=now
[13:00] {nemo} and nobody is going into Primary Care
[13:00] {nemo} they come out half-million in debt
[13:01] {nemo} have to pay 6 figure malpractice insurance
[13:01] {nemo} and then have to be account managers not doctors
[13:01] {Threei}  Solomon Short:
[13:01] {Threei}  If you're well enough to complain, don't.
[13:01] {Threei}  :)
[13:01] {jackharry} CAT trade double sided, long break of .50?
[13:02] {Threei}  I wouldn't
[13:02] {Will49} Don't complain: Half the people who hear you don't care; and the other half are glad"
[13:02] {nemo} yeah, reasonable John Harold
[13:02] {Threei}  formally, chart looks that way,
[13:02] {jackharry} ok, thanks
[13:02] {Threei}  but it just doesn't feel right
[13:02] {nemo} spy might be weakening
[13:06] {Threei}  1:1
[13:08] {Threei}  quite nicely profitable day, even with a few opening trades hard to execute
[13:09] {Threei}  I might start liking this august trading thingy
[13:11] {dino} so far not a bad month for me
[13:11] {Threei}  not at all
[13:12] {Threei}  slow but green
[13:16] {nemo} this looks more like a cat break now
[13:23] {thomcbell} Feels like there will be one 4 handle push at some point
[13:26] {nemo} FibDoctor is bored:  He asks what do you call 500 indians without nipples running around in a circle?
[13:27] {nemo}  The Indian Nippleless 500
