Dec 07 2012

Slow but still profitable day despite somewhat rough start. Finishing a week with no single losing day.

Session Time: Fri Dec 07 00:00:00 2012
[08:55] }patel} Good Morning :) :) :)
01[08:56] }Threei}  morning patel
[09:03] }scottie} good morning
01[09:03] }Threei}  scottie :)
[09:07] }Beau} good morning
01[09:07] }Threei}  beau :)
[09:12] }nemo} Vad's favorite kind of day
[09:12] }nemo} call Dino, tell him to back to bed
[09:13] }nemo}   Gap and Crap, or Gap and Go, or Gap and ......................?
01[09:14] }Threei}  my feel is, gap and crap
01[09:14] }Threei}  another meaningless jobs number props bounce into shaky market
[09:15] }dino} gm
01[09:16] }Threei}  dino :)
[09:22] }Will49} Good morning
01[09:22] }Threei}  will :)
01[09:23] }Threei}  in case you ever wondered how nemo would have looked and spoken if he were a cat, http://goo.gl/quxST
[09:23] }robbers} CNBC saying jobs numbers are distorted.
01[09:23] }Threei}  yes
01[09:24] }Threei}  hunderds of thousand dropped from workforce
01[09:24] }Threei}  same trick that helped it down to 7.9 last month
[09:25] }robbers} Yep, people who're just not looking anymore.  And right, same trick(s).
01[09:25] }Threei}  participation numbers meanwhile stay under 64% for almost a year, one of the lowest in history
01[09:26] }Threei}  then again look at this:
01[09:26] }Threei}  (ES) Some economists see Spain unemployment peaking at 28-30%, possibly in 2014, with 2013 unemployment worse than 2012's- Europa press
01[09:26] }Threei}  maybe we need to stop complaining, lol
[09:26] }robbers} Also, employment is just one side of the story, what about "real" wage levels?
[09:27] }robbers} In Spain, the unemployment rate for those under 25 years old is something like 50%.
01[09:27] }Threei}  ask, and...
01[09:27] }Threei}  *(US) NOV AVG HOURLY EARNING M/M: 0.2% V 0.2%E; Y/Y: 1.7% V 1.7%E; AVG WEEKLY HOURS: 34.4 V 34.4E
[09:28] }robbers} I know my real wages were off a bit...until yesterday's trading.
01[09:28] }Threei}  (US) House Speaker Boehner (R-OH): President Obama's plan for dealing with the fiscal cliff is a joke, would hurt job growth ***Note that yesterday afternoon, there were reports that budget discussions had resumed between President Obama and House Speaker Boehner, with some signs of progress
01[09:28] }Threei}  glad we could help it :)
01[09:29] }Threei}  someone sent me an article couple years ago, about insentives structured in a way that makes it more sensible for a woman with 2 kids to remain at 29K a year job than go to 69K
01[09:29] }Threei}  this is insane
[09:29] }ese} gm
01[09:29] }Threei}  ese :)
[09:30] }nemo} that was a study from 2011 by PA state Secretary on Welfare

[09:32] }dino} except pride, which is not considered anymore
[09:32] }nemo} although there's an old joke about their quality:  By a Smith and send it right to the Smith
01[09:32] }Threei}  seems pride is now in becoming better moocher

[11:05] }thomcbell} FB trying here - thru 27.28 break 
01[11:06] }Threei}  (US) House Speaker Boehner (R-OH): There is no progress to report in fiscal cliff negotiations, the White House has wasted another week, has given us no counter offer- The president's strategy is sending the US toward the fiscal cliff. Geithner's comment that the Administration is willing to go over the fiscal cliff is "reckless talk." - Describes phone discussion with Obama earlier this week as "pleasant" but "more of the same." - "When is he going to take a step toward us?"
[11:07] }patel} FB looks strong
[11:07] }patel} not in it due to boner.

[11:19] }patel} My reasoning is gap up with a pullback. Looks pretty clean on the 15's. 
01[11:19] }Threei}  not today, I don't think so
[11:19] }patel} okay. 
01[11:20] }Threei}  too narrow to be a runner to 15 within a day
[11:20] }dino} market has really slowed down
[11:20] }patel} yeah
[11:21] }nemo} fcx might go here

[12:13] }Will49} tks scottie +.14 teva
01[12:13] }Threei}  (US) House Minority Leader Pelosi (D-CA): Republicans have only offered empty letters in negotiations with the Democrats over the fiscal cliff- Reiterates the only thing standing in the way of middle class tax cuts are Republicans holding out on tax rate increases for the top 2%; highlights the same 2% receive a cut as well as part of the middle class tax cut
01[12:13] }Threei}  I seriosuly think they'll let it happen
01[12:14] }Threei}  how did she manage to contradict herself in one senetnce?
[12:14] }dino} what do they care
01[12:14] }Threei}  "tax rate increases for the top 2%; highlights the same 2% receive a cut as well as part of the middle class tax cut"
01[12:15] }Threei}  so is it tax increase or tax cut for 2%?
01[12:15] }Threei}  make up your mind, woman
01[12:16] }Threei}  they care about driving stick through republicans, dino... and their strategy will do just that
01[12:16] }Threei}  they'll push and push for more concessions making it impossible for republicans to agree,
01[12:16] }Threei}  then when deadline comes, there won't be a deal,
01[12:17] }Threei}  taxes go up for everyone, next day they come back with tax cut for under $200,000
01[12:17] }Threei}  republicans can't vote against that
01[12:17] }Threei}  so democrats will get all they want while making republicans look worse than anyone could ever imagine
[12:17] }dino} i get that 3i. but in the whole scheme of things it really makes no difference to any of them if cliff hits or not. 
01[12:18] }Threei}  it's a play for 2014 now, to get back the house
[12:18] }dino} jwn hl l .20
[12:18] }thomcbell} Vad how do i emigrate to Canada?
01[12:18] }Threei}  economically no, it's purely political
[12:19] }dino} it won't work. republicans would be better off saying no
01[12:19] }Threei}  well tbell... our right of center government would look more left than your normal liberal, lol
[12:19] }thomcbell} nemo - FCX what are your thoughts now
01[12:19] }Threei}  I agree dino
[12:19] }nemo} suicide
[12:19] }thomcbell} what do u mean by that ?
[12:19] }nemo} 32ish, should go for vwap, but it's starting to follow the market
01[12:20] }Threei}  Canada is very very left country comparing to US
[12:20] }dino} tol hl l .45
[12:20] }nemo} we're all going european
01[12:20] }Threei}  you know what percent said they'd vote for Obama if they wrere eligible?

[12:23] }nemo} they won't

[12:25] }Will49} conservative is a relative term here
[12:25] }nemo} we're all going left
[12:25] }Will49} Harper knows how to stay in between the other parties
01[12:25] }Threei}  for now, yes...
[12:25] }Will49} if that means a shift to the left, he'll do it
01[12:26] }Threei}  I really hope he grooms a worthy successor
[12:26] }Will49} also. cdns like to see an offset at the fed level against the provincial wingnut governments
[12:27] }Will49} yea Vad, not any good looking candidates at the moment
01[12:27] }Threei}  ask ese, and harper is a wingnut :)
[12:27] }patel} how does AVGO look short

[13:41] }nemo} we've been grindgin higher on a trendline in the spy since Wednesday
[13:48] }_syncc} Hey everyone, just checking in!
01[13:49] }Threei}  hi syncc
[13:49] }_syncc} How were your trades this morning?
01[13:49] }Threei}  back and forth
[13:49] }_syncc} I caught a few nice ones
[13:49] }dino} good, but markets are now dead
[13:49] }_syncc} Yesterday was better I assume.
01[13:49] }Threei}  narrowed down and slowed down greatly
01[13:50] }Threei}  unless some serious range break comes (to the downside preferrably), it's dead
[13:50] }_syncc} So Vadym, on days like this, what do you end up doing? Just on standby?
[13:50] }thomcbell} lvs looks like a 43.66 long break if holding 43.56
01[13:50] }Threei}  waiting, watching, taking those that look safe and promising
01[13:51] }Threei}  keeping my expectations low
01[13:51] }Threei}  taking scalps, trailing stops tighter
01[13:51] }Threei}  in short, making sure there is no damage
[13:51] }_syncc} Quite conservative, your emotions are definitely solid in being a trader
[13:51] }_syncc} I need to develop mine...lol
[13:53] }patel} FSLR volume
01[13:53] }Threei}  to remind, I do it for frikin 16 years :)
[13:54] }_syncc} btw, I read the instructions for this trading room. I finally understand what all those ratios mean.
[13:54] }_syncc} Hmm good point. Well I will be at that point soon enough :)
[13:55] }_syncc} I probably cannot scalp.. my commission costs are too high
[13:55] }_syncc} 9.95 a trade
[14:00] }nemo} this can't last, my charts on spy and tna are broken into .02 increments
[14:00] }nemo} Haven't seen that in a while
[14:12] }_syncc} rimm is stuck between .98 and .99 for the past 20 minutes
[14:12] }_syncc} wow is this ever slow
[14:13] }nemo} why you looking at that?
[14:13] }thomcbell} lvs 1:1
[14:13] }_syncc} Im waiting for it to break 12.00
[14:14] }_syncc} if it holds .95
[14:17] }patel} UAL looks goods
[14:18] }patel} airlines are strong 
[14:18] }patel} daily is good on UAL
[14:26] }thomcbell} fb - lol
[14:28] }thomcbell} lvs 1:2
[14:29] }thomcbell} took the trade lvs 
01[14:30] }Threei}  nice one
01[14:31] }Threei} Short Setup: FCX  .95 break
01[14:31] }Threei}  If holds  32 
[14:34] }_syncc} rimm 1:1
[14:45] }thomcbell} fcx was still valid right Vad?
01[14:45] }Threei}  yes
[14:47] }thomcbell} 1:2 target and play by the book?
01[14:47] }Threei}  totally
01[14:51] }Threei}  covered any yet?
[14:52] }scottie} yes half at .85
01[14:52] }Threei}  :)
01[14:52] }Threei}  stop is .96... routine
01[14:52] }Threei}  yawn
01[14:52] }Threei}  see syncc... it's just plain boring money making routine
01[14:53] }Threei}  another day in the office
[14:56] }_syncc} since when did money become boring?
01[14:56] }Threei}  :)
01[14:57] }Threei}  http://blog.realitytrader.com/2012/10/unbearable-boredom-of-trading.html
[14:57] }_syncc} and I was looking at some practice exams for my exam tomorrow, and missed out on selling rim at 12.05. Now back at 12.00.. great.
[14:58] }_syncc} you posted that on cara once, I recall reading it, and well, laughing:)
[14:58] }dino} gj fcx vad
[14:58] }_syncc} "You are alert"--cracks me up on days like this
01[14:58] }Threei}  ty dino
01[14:59] }Threei}  what are you doing trying to make 5 cents on RIMM...
01[14:59] }Threei}  we have almsot 20 on FCX already, with 6 -7 cents risk
[15:00] }_syncc} "dude...be sensitive" nemo, back me up.
[15:01] }_syncc} Vad, how did you even see that big of a fall on FCX?
[15:02] }scottie} out .77 +.17 tks Vad
01[15:02] }Threei}  scottie :)
01[15:02] }Threei}  syncc... I did not see anything
01[15:03] }Threei}  trading is not about seeing the future
01[15:03] }Threei}  there was a val;id setup which in terms of my trading system signalled entry
01[15:03] }Threei}  you don't predict anything, you take signals that trigger your setups
[15:04] }_syncc} still an impressive move :)
01[15:05] }Threei}  that's because setups are structured well
01[15:05] }Threei}  and lead to good plays
[15:12] }_syncc} okay out .05, +.42% for rimm
[15:14] }patel} how does

[15:47] }thomcbell} doing tivo by the book here 
[15:50] }Beau} dino do you change stops in late market open "AMRN stp .04"?  Or was it going nowhere and you scratched it?
[15:51] }dino} going nowhere so scratched it. but generally later in the day i get stingy (tighter) with stops
[15:52] }nemo} finnies and spy holding uptrend for the week, expect to se it over 143 on Monday
[15:52] }Beau} thx
[15:52] }dino} a.m. more movement, so a bit wider. for last 9 months or so, afternoons suck. strange for me because i used to make most of my $ in afternoons.
[15:53] }dino} but in general, the volume is way down from years ago. not as many traders
01[15:54] }Threei}  thank you all, have a great weekend
01[15:54] }Threei}  see you on Monday
[15:54] }thomcbell} tivo stopped - 0.05
