[10:48] {thomcbell} lonmg setup qcom 59.30 break if holding 59.20
[10:49] {thomcbell} could be 2 sided
01[10:49] {Threei}  ES) Spain region of Asturias requests �261.7M in aid from Autonomous Liquidity Fund (FLA) - financial press- Reminder: Earlier today the Spain region of Balearic asks for a �355M bailout from the Autonomous Liquidity Fund
01[10:50] {Threei}  (IE) Ireland Central Bank Official: Ireland's banks still face significant challenges, but are close to the point where state guarantees can be withdrawn

[10:51] {thomcbell} qcom long invalidated obviously
[10:51] {ese} ya.......was watching that Thom
01[10:52] {Threei}  if I am not mistaken, Ireland is about the only country that implemented tax cuts as one of measures of fighting off the crisis
01[10:53] {Threei}  jack, is it so or I am confusing something?
[10:53] {thomcbell} aapl moment of truth here - vulnerable on the daily
[10:54] {nemo} nah, they should go down to test support, moment of truth is 620 area
[10:56] {jackharry} They made some initial reductions around 2010, but have since put them back up
[10:56] {jackharry} massive cuts in public spending, big reductions in public sector pay
[10:56] {jackharry} and big reductions in numbers employed by the state
01[10:56] {Threei}  right
[10:57] {Will49} any leprecons (sp) get laid off?
[10:57] {jackharry} although the one of the taxes they didnt increase was corporation tax on companies, it is very competitive
[10:58] {ese} wel..........at least they cut back staff at the golf courses........that would be disasterous Jack
[10:58] {ese} they didn't
[10:58] {nemo} http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-18/power-hogs-targeted-by-france-in-big-brother-legislation.html
01[10:58] {Threei}  so, does is it really look like Ireland climbs out of the crisis?
[10:59] {jackharry} still in really bad shape, but ceretainly better than some others
01[10:59] {Threei}  got it, ty
01[10:59] {Threei}  France is so done...

[11:00] {scottie} didn't take my bid yet
[11:00] {dino} re france, sooner or later they will run out of other peoples' money
[11:01] {ese} thats is a very bizzare article vad
[11:01] {nemo} social engineering run amok
01[11:01] {Threei}  that's what socialism does ese
[11:01] {nemo} the utility is now owned by the government
[11:01] {dino} atlas shrugged happening in real time
01[11:02] {Threei}  you may not believe it but socialistic world is beyond bizzare
[11:02] {ese} true but at least democratic...........try it for a while.......get ticked ..vote em out
01[11:02] {Threei}  I just wish you lived ikn it for a few month
01[11:02] {Threei}  you would change your world view in a hurry
[11:03] {scottie} out fcx +.18 tks Vad
[11:03] {ese} I like Denmark.........they seem to be doing it right
[11:03] {dino} gj
01[11:03] {Threei}  in particular, you'd shudder at the thought of Obama second term or NDP ever taking power in Canada
01[11:03] {Threei}  scottie :)
[11:04] {Will49} we pay a penalty(higher rate) in BC if elect usage exceeds base
[11:05] {Will49} nothing wrong with that..just focuses attention on waste
[11:05] {dino} wouldn't it be easier and better to build now power plants
[11:05] {ese} socialism can be abused for sure.........but health care here in Canada was created by a socialist gov't ...Tommy douglas in Saskatchewan........
[11:06] {nemo} here comes the aapl test
[11:07] {Will49} dino...good question; beyond my pay scale
[11:07] {ese} mine as well
[11:07] {dino} :)
[11:07] {dino} sm l tnc ave .95, thin
01[11:08] {Threei}  SPY as foretold... selling off nicely

[11:09] {ese} and besides vad..........it ain't gonna matter which gov't where for you...........you'll be able to make money in all situations
01[11:09] {Threei}  you think?
01[11:10] {Threei}  let me give you this mental exercise
[11:10] {_1zach4} nice CAT trade
[11:10] {dino} wow! ese, obamination wants us "speculators" to go to 50%
[11:10] {_1zach4} 1:8 at this point
01[11:10] {Threei}  your favorite president remains in the office,
[11:10] {ese} whoa
01[11:10] {Threei}  and unretsrrained by the next election, goes ahead and implements transaction tax
01[11:11] {Threei}  what do you think I am going to do for a living?
[11:11] {ese} ok........thqt just changed my mind
[11:11] {ese} he's out
[11:11] {Beau} you mention Canada's health care.  We hear so many negatives, what is the truth?  Is it a good system or not?
[11:11] {dino} capital gains to ordinary income rate, will kill inovation, traders, investors, etc
01[11:11] {Threei}  beau... it's a mixed bag
[11:11] {thomcbell} aapl getting smacked pretty good
[11:11] {jackharry} Great quote from Margaret Thatcher - ”The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
01[11:12] {Threei}  while most of medical services are free and guaranteed, the lineups for many of them are unimaginable for US
[11:12] {Will49} Canada has much healthier people and health care way lower than US, so depends on how you measure
01[11:12] {Threei}  there are scores of people waiting for surgeries for years
[11:12] {Will49} only elective surgery Vad
01[11:12] {Threei}  those same surgeries that are doen in US in a matter of days or weeks
[11:13] {_1zach4} Is it true that people go to vets for things like x-rays?
01[11:13] {Threei}  well, hip or knee replacement, will
[11:13] {Will49} and you can go to private clinics if you don't want to wait
01[11:13] {Threei}  yes but then you pay
01[11:13] {Threei}  and you already paid for it through your taxes
[11:14] {Beau} pay private full cost?
01[11:14] {Threei}  sure
01[11:14] {Threei}  knee replacement is not really an elective surgery
[11:14] {Will49} depend how you look at it. If everything was covered, tax much higher
[11:14] {Will49} most seniors I know in Victoria only wait a month or tow for knees, hips
[11:15] {Will49} two
[11:15] {Will49} so...on what criteria would you judge health care systems?
[11:16] {dino} availibility of when i want it
[11:16] {dino} tnc stop
[11:17] {ese} rock bottom.........it's not perfect but it's certainly better than if we didn't have it.......
01[11:17] {Threei}  will... that's way out of times quoted everywhere I look
[11:17] {Will49} and better than most mixed systems in the world
[11:17] {nemo} l tna .91
01[11:17] {Threei}  3-5 years waiting times
[11:17] {nemo} stop under .85
[11:18] {ese} definitely

[11:20] {nemo} funny how spy bounced right at a fib level, look for db formations here
[11:20] {nemo} out tna
[11:20] {nemo} got 1:1 on half
[11:21] {nemo} o.k. serious bottoming volume coming in spy
01[11:21] {Threei}  official stats:
01[11:21] {Threei}  Since 2005, Ontario has achieved significant wait time reductions in the following areas: cancer surgery (23.5 per cent or 19 days); cataract surgery (61.4 per cent or 191 days); hip replacement (45.6 per cent or 160 days); knee replacement (55.2 per cent or 243 days); CT scans (54.3 per cent or 44 days).
01[11:21] {Threei}  that's REDUCTIONS!
[11:21] {nemo} and Vad will never have to worry about having brain surgery
[11:22] {nemo} they may want to try and test 144 on spy
[11:23] {Will49} I don't know th official times in BC but know  a dozen old curlers in my club who got knee replacement very quickly
[11:24] {ese} me either.......don't know the stats but when my wife's dad need open heart surgery to repare a valve........it got done within days
[11:25] {Will49} any condition that requires immediate attention -gets it
[11:25] {ese} seems like
[11:26] {dino} out lulu .20, +.40
[11:27] {scottie} gj dino
[11:27] {Will49} anyway...this system is recognized world over as one of the best based on level of health in population, infant mortality AND cost to deliver
01[11:27] {Threei}  greater victoria hispitals are one of the shorter time waits for that particular surgery, will - 37 weeks average
[11:27] {ese} the other part to this is our population base....considering we only have a population of approx 40million ...to have it funded at all is pretty good i think.............USA ...what.......almost 400 million.........somebody hoarding some dollars somewhere
[11:28] {Will49} lived in US...best health care in the world (if you can afford it)
[11:28] {ese} hows it done.......through insurance
01[11:28] {Threei}  3 weeks in US
[11:29] {ese} if so we know how that gets bilked..........
01[11:29] {Threei}  hat's 12 times difference
[11:29] {Will49} yes, private insurance
01[11:29] {Threei}  that btw on top of waiting for initial consultation - two-three times longer in Canada
[11:30] {ese} ya.........and everyone trys to overcharge that system
[11:30] {Will49} obviously , wait times for non-critical issues are not detrimental to good overall health care
[11:31] {Will49} US wait times are excellent...no argumant there
[11:31] {Beau} stent in LAD 2 hrs after need determined, medicare not private
[11:32] {ese} wheres that beau?
[11:32] {Will49} just sayin.....wait times are not optimum way of measuring benefits of health care system
[11:32] {Beau} Texas and we really are part of US.

[11:54] {ese} ?
01[11:55] {Threei}  that's what he says ese
[11:55] {ese} ok
01[11:55] {Threei}  how true it is remains for anyone to gauge
[11:55] {ese} that would explain the $60 target from some analysist
01[11:55] {Threei}  further economy slowdown can easily turn it into opposite
[11:56] {ese} ya definitely
01[11:56] {Threei}  (IT) Italy Econ Min: Italy financial transaction tax (Tobin) scheduled to go into effect on Jan 1, 2013 assuming parliamentary approval; will not apply to govt bonds -

[11:59] {nemo} ltna .54
[11:59] {ese} i'm not sure i get the full meaning of that.......
01[11:59] {Threei}  which part?
[11:59] {thomcbell} comedy
[11:59] {ese} not to apply to govt bonds.......rather the implication
[11:59] {dino} if it was such a good idea, then why not tax govt bonds
[12:00] {ese} hmmmmmmm
[12:00] {dino} it will hurt markets thats why
[12:00] {nemo} stop below low iwm
01[12:00] {Threei}  they want to tax any transaction in financial sphere: stocks, futures, commodities, whatever,
01[12:00] {Threei}  but they want bond buyers to continue buyikng their debt, so they make exception for that
[12:00] {ese} ah ok

[12:48] {Will49} hope that keeps up for another few weeks
[13:01] {dino}  me too
[13:06] {Will49} evn tho Mitt may not be able to make any really big changes, at least I'll be happier
[13:07] {Will49} not having to look at that toothy, fast talking face
[13:13] {nemo} all these polls...
[13:14] {Will49} as I keep sayin"...only one that counts is election day
[13:14] {nemo} here come the VWAP runs
[13:30] {nemo} He can't make any changes...bureaucracy and Congress and regulation
[13:30] {nemo} that's it
[13:30] {nemo} if he has a split congress he can veto stuff
[13:30] {nemo} if one or the other party owns hit, he be overridden
[13:31] {nemo} we will eventually go the way of Europe
[13:31] {Will49} sad
[13:31] {nemo} nature of things
[13:32] {Will49} hope he (or Barry) can keep this ship from tipping over in the meantime
01[13:32] {Threei}  look how perfectly SPY dropped on daily off that upper descending line O spoke of two days ago
01[13:33] {Threei}  the political will required to fix things for real is incredbile... hard to see it happening
01[13:33] {Threei}  not in democracy
01[13:34] {Threei}  we need benevolent dictator to make it happen
[13:35] {Will49} we'll need to wait for this generation of "me first" leaders to die off
[13:36] {nemo} you think this generation is different from any other?
[13:36] {Will49} absolutely
[13:36] {nemo} plu ca Change plu cest le meme Chose
[13:36] {Will49} the "me" generation in spades
01[13:37] {Threei}  how next generation will help? problem is, pressure from beneath won't allow any of perks and entitlements to be cut
[13:37] {nemo} nope...Tocqueville
01[13:38] {Threei}  as far as each particular indidual is concerned, a) it's not his fault and b)his entitlement is the right one
[13:39] {nemo} everybody is "after me you come first"
[13:39] {Beau} those who must legislate and regulate think only of being re-elected and re-appointed.  So how will anything change?
[13:39] {nemo} [13:36] {nemo} plu ca Change plu cest le meme Chose
[13:40] {Will49} amen Beau
[13:40] {nemo} collapse, massive dislocations cause change but not as much change as one would think.  "Gains" are relatively temporary
01[13:40] {Threei}  right, which also indidcates again that it's our doing and our fault - because it's us who won't bote for those who cut our entitlements
[13:41] {Will49} amen Vad
[13:41] {nemo} Stalin was right
01[13:41] {Threei}  if we did, they'd work to change things
01[13:41] {Threei}  we don't - they work to keep status quo rolling
[13:41] {Will49} somebody said that a democracy gets the government it deserves....well?
[13:42] {nemo} there are two other huge themes that people aren't accounting for (dangling preposition aside)
[13:42] {nemo} Energy is likely bottomed as far as cost, which Energy=Life.  Makes it harder to expand prosperity, and....robotics
01[13:43] {Threei}  been a good while since we saw such determined selling
[13:57] {nemo} coming into confluence on spy iwm and financials

[14:33] {scottie} Are we into something ?
01[14:33] {Threei}  no, not after SLW scalp
[14:33] {scottie} tks
01[14:33] {Threei}  well, right answer would be "in coma"...
01[14:34] {Threei}  but if you insist on "into" instead of in, then right answer would be: no, except nemo who is heavy into glue sniffing
[14:35] {nemo} ?
01[14:35] {Threei}  never mind :)
[14:36] {scottie} bad nemo ...
[14:37] {nemo} that means I'm good ;-)
[14:38] {scottie} pleonasm
[14:38] {nemo} not sure that qualifies
[14:39] {nemo} If I were to say "The fact that you call me bad, and the persona I effect is usually of a socially maladjusted individual, would in turn, actually mean I'm 'good"" would be a pleonasm
[14:40] {nemo} or, are you speaking of your comment
[14:40] {nemo} ?
[14:40] {scottie} bad nemo is a pleonasm
[14:42] {nemo} yep
01[14:44] {Threei}  I wanted to ask you to eschew the big words for redundancy but then realized redundancy was actually bigger word than pleonasm
01[14:44] {Threei}  so I shut up
01[14:44] {Threei}  so I shut up
[14:45] {Will49} lol
01[14:45] {Threei}  :)

[14:56] {nemo} Watch for short covering into the close OP EX today
01[14:56] {Threei}  or speaking in pleonasms, which quickly become word of the day, another negative move down is coming
