01[09:30] {Threei}  haha
01[09:31] {Threei}  and not to make light of it, but this was the stupidest headline in a good while:
01[09:31] {Threei}  (IS) US President Obama, Israel PM both agreed Hamas needed to stop attack on Israel

01[09:41] {Threei}  *(CA) CANADA OCT EXISTING HOME SALES M/M: -0.1% V +2.5% PRIOR

01[09:42] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Lacker (hawk, lone FOMC dissenting voter): More bond purchases may risk inflation; effects of stimulus on growth and jobs are less than what is believed- The bigger the Fed balance sheet, the riskier the wind down process will be. Withdrawal process will be uncharted territory. . - Calls the purchase of mortgage backed securities by the Fed is 'inappropriate.' - Cannot continuously buy more securities and increase the balance sheet without risking inflation.

[10:37] {dino} finally somebody gets it
01[10:37] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Lacker: weary of using threholds to determine policy and discussing any financial transaction (tobin) taxes
01[10:37] {Threei}  meanwhile Europe implements it full speed
01[10:37] {Threei}  I've never seen a country or union so determined to destroy itself
[10:38] {nemo} well, that means lotsa' financial activity comes this way

01[10:43] {Threei}  not pouring "stimulus" left andf right

01[11:50] {Threei}  (IS) Air raid sirens being reported to have been heard in Tel Aviv in addition to explosions - press- Rockets said to have hit Tel Aviv, no casualties reported - Follow up: Chatter circulating that Egypt has closed the border with Israel
[11:50] {dino} those idiots are going to start a war
[11:50] {nemo} this is spy gap going back to 8/2
01[11:51] {Threei}  ok, we need ese to come back for a min, to talk about those mortgages:
01[11:51] {Threei}  (US) House Financial Service Commitee Chair Rep Bachus (R-AL): FHA will need Treasury bailout within one month- Reminder: yesterday reports circulated that the FHA was nearing a point at which it could run out of reserves due to rising mortgage deliquencies; may ask for taxpayer money for the first time
[11:52] {dino} funny how they hid that until aftr election
01[11:52] {Threei}  that, and a lot of other things
[11:52] {dino} no kidding
[11:52] {nemo} oh boy:  http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000129595&play=1
[11:53] {nemo} oh shit, don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain
[11:57] {Les} SELL SELL SELL
[11:57] {nemo} yes Mortimer
[11:57] {Les} remember his mission statement is only to discuss what the serious investors are doing
[12:15] {Les} TZA 19 or bust
01[12:15] {Threei}  not bad
01[12:15] {Threei}  I didn't expect even this
01[12:19] {Threei}  SHOOT FOR THE MOON
01[12:19] {Threei}  Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. Of course, then your eyeballs will boil and your lungs explode from decompression. But that's what you get for being a damn showoff.
[12:21] {Les} I see Netanyahu has January elections
[12:23] {robbers} Simple solution for Israel vs. Palistine.  Palastinians want a state....give them Mississippi.  We're not using it anyway.
[12:23] {Will49} lol
[12:24] {nemo} this higher low is off the 8/2 gap bottom
01[12:24] {Threei}  bit robbers... do you want ropckets landing in Alabama and Louisiana?
[12:24] {robbers} Sure.
[12:24] {robbers} Especially Alabama.
01[12:25] {Threei}  Tennessee?
01[12:25] {Threei}  Arkansas?
01[12:25] {Threei}  if you say yes, you can have them :)
[12:27] {robbers} I draw the line at sacrificing Alabama.  But they wouldn't fire rockets there anyway, bama doesn't allow Jewish people to live there.
[12:32] {robbers} I'm Jewish and have visited bama, not all that hospitable, but they did allow me to use one of their golf courses for a few hours.  Nice of them.
01[12:32] {Threei}  christmas tree for nemo: http://goo.gl/SeI8Q
01[12:33] {Threei}  and nemo's idea of a good time: http://goo.gl/C3mM8
01[12:36] {Threei}  Les, you out TZA?
[12:36] {Les} never got in it
[12:37] {Les} been wanting to leave for Aikido. Missus finally got home
01[12:46] {Threei}  will, you are the lucjkiest one here
01[12:46] {Threei}  Two early morning cougar sightings today around the Ross Bay Cemetery.
[12:46] {Will49} I'm running outside right now!
01[12:47] {Threei}  that's like 3 min from your place?
[12:47] {Will49} Hope it doesn't eat any of the little old ladies around here
[12:47] {Will49} Yes, one block
[12:48] {Will49} But I do hope it eats the two jack Russell terriers across the street
[12:48] {Will49} they drive me nuts
01[12:48] {Threei}  lol
[12:49] {Will49} I think I'll volunteer to take them for a walk today :)
[12:51] {Will49} scottie..bit of navy trivia about Esquimalt
01[12:51] {Threei} Short Setup: CVS  .80 break
[12:59] {Will49} British Navy set up base there in early 1860s and there are dozens of sea captains burried in Ross Bay cemetary
[13:00] {nemo} want to take tna long here but it would be more out of boredom than conviction
01[13:02] {Threei}  [17:35] {dptl} hey Vad, hopefully come back in the month or so.....say hi to everyone :)
[13:02] {nemo} that when he gets out of detox?
01[13:06] {Threei}  (IS) Israel Defense Min Barak: Hamas earlier rocket attack is considered an escalation and a price will have to be paid
01[13:10] {Threei}  52% View #Petraeus Resignation As Appropriate
01[13:11] {Threei}  maybe but I don't remember MLK, JFK or Bill Clinton resigning
[13:11] {Will49} different world Vad
01[13:14] {Threei}  CVS new low
01[13:14] {Threei}  whole cent lower... etc, you know the routine
[13:15] {Will49} let's hope Bernank doesn't screw this up for us
[13:22] {nemo} yeah, guess I shoulda' taken that boredom trade
01[13:25] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Bernanke: Fed will continue to use policy to boost economic recovery; it is likely that lending has swung too far towards tigher standards- Notes that mortgage lenders tightened standards in 2007 and havent eased off - Sees housing sector improving and adding to growth; a weak housing market can be powerful headwind to an economic recovery - Calls on lenders to rent out their foreclosed homes
[13:34] {dino} lenders should be liquidating their foreclosed homes
[13:35] {Will49} and how does more renting lighten the headwinds?
[13:36] {Will49} a weak housing market is powerful headwind to bank profits
01[13:38] {Threei}  they are just eager to reinflate this thing
01[13:39] {Threei}  instead of rational thinking, which would lead therm to a question:
01[13:39] {Threei}  what is the natural level of demand, without people overextending themselves?
01[13:39] {Threei}  if it reached yet?
01[13:39] {Threei}  if we are under that level, sure, loosen lending standards
01[13:40] {Threei}  if we are above it, we need more tightenting, or at least waiting
[13:41] {Will49} oh but that makes so much sense...what are you thinking?
[13:41] {Will49} or as they say around here, what are you smokin'
[13:50] {nemo} this might be the bottom
01[13:51] {Threei}  for now
[13:51] {dino} until 3 pm lately
[14:16] {Les}  CVS selling off again

[15:10] {thomcbell} yes
[15:11] {Les} I'd be a lot happier if I'd gotten my TZA entry correct. Took .75 break and then refused to buy VWAP bounce at .65 shortly afterwards...
[15:11] {Les} incredibly ugly tape
[15:11] {Les} :)
[15:12] {dino} dnb drop

[15:40] {Les} lick, not sniff
01[15:43] {Threei}  lol
01[15:43] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Fisher: Congress has been disgraceful on the fiscal issues; reiterates Fed should not take the "Buzz Lightyear" approach (to infinity and beyond) on purchases- Note the Fed cannot purchase treasury and mortgage debt indefinitely - Comments that legislators in the US have become "parasitic wastrels"
[15:45] {thomcbell} i guess everyone was caught leaning there
[15:45] {thomcbell} nic elittle rally
01[15:47] {Threei}  Congress, punting and getting red in face: You... you... parasitic wastrel enablers!!
01[15:48] {Threei}  panting too
