[11:22] {thomcbell} gdx and slw back up to broken support here
[11:23] {thomcbell} S&P gets little bump on headline - FRANCE SAID TO PRESS SPAIN TO SEEK EU AID OVER GERMAN CONCERNS - Bloomberg          S&P futures up 7 at 1430.50 - holding steady and strong all morning thus far
[11:24] {Threei}  isn't it amazing
[11:24] {Threei}  market goes up if Spain requests aid and drops if it doesn't
[11:24] {dptl} mpc 54 short?
[11:24] {Threei}  yes
[11:24] {dolores} if MNST cannot hold .50

[11:25] {dino} maybe, hard stop .49
[11:26] {scottie} intc long .25 ?
[11:26] {dino} amazing too that france is trying to push them when france is simply a few months away from same issue

[11:28] {Threei}  struggle for 5 cents
[11:28] {scottie} ok
[11:29] {Threei}  look at it this way guys
[11:29] {RonS} 315k block mnst
[11:29] {Threei}  we got easy money part, 4 wins out of 4 calls, with two of them working for a very nice moves,
[11:30] {Threei}  we have another major event tomorrow,
[11:30] {Threei}  easy money period is over, market is likely to become narrower and slower,
[11:30] {Threei}  so, stocks that sit within 20-30 vents range whole day are not likely to be good candidates
[11:32] {dptl} so would you skip mpc?
[11:32] {Threei}  MPC which has nicer range and won't go up with SPY while continues sitting on important support is a better candidate on break of that support
[11:33] {dptl} ok
[11:33] {scottie} swn long 35 ?
[11:33] {Threei}  worth a try
[11:33] {RonS} cig smoked

[15:05] {Threei}  NL) Netherlands election results: Liberals win most votes; winning 41 of 150 seats; Labor party wins 40 seats - exit polls- Dutch Freedom Party gets 13 seats.
[15:06] {Threei}  not sure how it reflects on EU, don't remember which party is pro and which contra
[15:12] {jackharry} Both Liberal and Labour parties in Netherlands are broadly pro european, Liberal are right of centre similar to Merkel and want to stick with austerity, Labour centre left similar to Hollande and French Socialists and want to tax and spend, but both support Euro and EU. The Freedom Party want to not only leaver the Euro but the EU as well

[15:41] {Threei}  it's less fun, robbers... damage you cause as a politician is larger and more lasting, but less immediate
[15:42] {robbers} True, lol.
