Jan 18 2013

Trading before the long weekend is often boring as no one wants to commit too much, and today was not any different. Slightly positive and very inactive.



Session Time: Fri Jan 18 00:00:00 2013

[14:05] {thomcbell} daily chart scares me a bit
[14:06] {thomcbell} scaling out of rest of nov
01[14:25] {Threei}  not really delighted by long idea on FB
[14:36] {thomcbell} si
[14:36] {thomcbell} and you be right
[14:39] {nemo} no selling pressure at all
[14:40] {thomcbell} no
01[14:40] {Threei}  jusr drifting everywhere, no pressure either way
01[14:40] {Threei}  no one wants to commit before the long weekend
[14:40] {nemo} finnies haven't got to their pivot yet, we should probably dirft higher into the end of the day
[14:40] {nemo} already committed, look at the vix
[14:41] {nemo} nobody is worried, everybody is long
[14:41] {jdetente} that's scary
[14:41] {nemo} we'll likely gap up on Tuesday
01[14:41] {Threei}  debt ceiling circus will shake them back into reality
[14:42] {nemo} if they don't today they'll have to see if they can test above yesterday's highs
[14:42] {nemo} no, that's kabuki theatre
[14:46] {nemo} Republicans have to cave on that
[14:46] {nemo} they're like puppy dogs running around with their tails between their legs
01[14:47] {Threei}  because they have no guts to say enough
[14:47] {nemo} their a minority that can't do anything
01[14:47] {Threei}  not true
[14:48] {dino} w/o the house, nothing passes
01[14:48] {Threei}  they still have an option not to sign off yet anohter spending bout
01[14:48] {Threei}  they don't have guts to do it
[14:48] {nemo} they can't win the politics on that one
01[14:48] {Threei}  "ah, we will be lamed for this and that"
01[14:48] {Threei}  guess what - they'll be blamed in any case
01[14:49] {Threei}  so might just take a stand and do something good for the country while taking blame anyway
[14:49] {nemo} nah....always lose the shutdown battle, politically they should let the democrats do what they want
01[14:49] {Threei}  they will lose politics if they put a stop to spending, and they will lose politics if they don't
[14:49] {nemo} and just put it in their laps
01[14:50] {Threei}  they did it already over last 4 years, many times
01[14:50] {Threei}  look where it got thenm
[14:50] {nemo} yeah, and when they make a stand, they get killed
01[14:50] {Threei}  not only they lost presidential elections and decreased their numbers in both senate and house,
01[14:51] {Threei}  but for the first time in last 3 years poll shows more trust dems on economy
01[14:51] {Threei}  it goes like this, next midterm they'll lose house
01[14:52] {Threei}  isn't it obvious that they lose PR battle?
[14:53] {jdetente} The Repubs cannot win the PR game...ever
01[14:53] {Threei}  nope... almost by definition
[14:53] {jdetente} they never have...even when Reagan and the Bushes were in power...the next generation was ready to take them out and put in a Democrat
[14:54] {nemo} it's simple, we're becoming Europe
01[14:54] {Threei}  but still, if you look at state level, governor and houses, you see pragmatism taking root in many states
[14:54] {dino} unfortunately nemo
[14:54] {jdetente} when I was in university all of my professors and classmates talked about how much better Europe was/is
[14:55] {jdetente} from a very young age that was the "PR" game
01[14:55] {Threei}  no doubt... capises are wasp nest of lefties
01[14:55] {Threei}  campuses
[14:55] {nemo} detente  where are you?
[14:55] {jdetente} and if you don't tow the line, you're a hater
[14:55] {jdetente} I'm in California. Los Angeles area
[14:56] {nemo} ahhh...California universities...hehehe.  Watch Indoctrinate U on Youtube
[14:56] {jdetente} I'll check it out
[14:58] {jdetente} are you aware of the Chicano student group called Mecha?
[14:58] {nemo} I know about La Raza
[14:59] {jdetente} They are big here. This one of their aims: ‘As Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán, we are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that lay claim to the land that is ours by birthright. As a nationalist movement we seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies our land. Thus, the principle of nationalism serves to preserv
[14:59] {jdetente}  preserve the cultural traditions of La Familia de La Raza and promotes our identity as a Chicana/Chicano Gente.’
[15:06] {nemo} Hey, doesn't Egypt still owe the Jews for enslaving them during Pharoahs time?
[15:06] {jdetente} lol
[15:07] {nemo} To paraphrase the little corporal, the more I learn about people the more I like bunny
[15:08] {nemo} Hey Dino, who wins Pats or Ravens?  Falcons or 9ers?
[15:09] {thomcbell} Pats and 49ers win
[15:09] {thomcbell} good superbowl
[15:09] {dino} pats and 49ers
[15:09] {nemo} Then the 49ers kill them in the Superbowl
[15:09] {nemo} unless Belichick has one of his Darth Vader Game plans
[15:10] {dino} pats d cannot stop him
[15:10] {nemo} nope, and no Gronk this time either
[15:10] {nemo} although, Pats CB Talib was injured last 9ers game
[15:11] {nemo} he's best cover guy they have
[15:13] {nemo} not sure I've ever seen anybody run an offense quite like Brady
[15:16] {dino} brady one of the best for sure
[15:16] {jdetente} Seattle Niners would've been such a better game than the Falcons
[15:16] {nemo} yeah definitely in the conversation
[15:17] {jdetente} The Niners will kill the Falcons
01[15:18] {Threei}  what was that on PPG
[15:18] {nemo} Points Per Game
[15:18] {nemo} fat finger
01[15:18] {Threei}  (US) White House Spokesman Carney: Administration is encouraged by Republican debt limit proposals, emphasizes that the House must pass a clean debt ceiling increase that is free of conditions***Note that the statement makes no mention of length of debt limit increase, but it does not express opposition to short-term one. Also note that the proposed Republican House bill would obligate the Senate to pass a budget, which may not make it 'clean'
[15:19] {dino} lol free of conditions. why, because obummer says so
01[15:19] {Threei}  (US) Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-NV): If the House can pass a clean debt ceiling increase bill, the Senate would be happy to consider it***Note that clean likely means "without conditions," while the House bill will obligate the Senate to lower spending levels
01[15:20] {Threei}  (US) House Speaker Boehner (R-OH): Govt needs to pass a budget before the debt limit is increased, House will obligate the Senate to lower spending levels- Notes that there should be no long term debt limit increase before the Senate passes a budget - Separate reports suggest the House will pass a three-month increase in the debt limit to April 15th. Will require a budget to be passed or Congressional pay will be withheld - House Majority Leader Cantor (R-VA): The House will vote next week on a three-month extension of the debt ceiling **Reminder: On Jan 17th, Rep Ryan said the House GOP was discussing the possibility of a short-term debt limit extension. During the debt ceiling negotiations last August, the Obama Administration repeatedly rejected any short-term extensions of the debt limit.
