01[09:56] {Threei}  this is wierd divergence between SPY and TNA
[09:56] {nemo} yeah, but not unusual in a bull market in that smaller firms run
[09:56] {cc_8} Among companies with shares expected to actively trade in Wednesday’s session are Google Inc. (GOOG), Coach Inc. (COH) and Annie’s Inc. (BNNY).
[09:56] {nemo} watch finnies, they bottomed
01[09:56] {Threei}  think?

01[10:01] {Threei}  sure thing
01[10:01] {Threei}  *(CA) BANK OF CANADA (BOC) LEAVES INTEREST RATES UNCHANGED AT 1.00%; AS EXPECTED- More muted inflation outlook - While some modest withdrawal of monetary policy stimulus will likely be required over time, consistent with achieving the 2 percent inflation target, the more muted inflation outlook and the beginnings of a more constructive evolution of imbalances in the household sector suggest that the timing of any such withdrawal is less imminent than previously anticipated - The economy will now hit full capacity only in the second half of 2014, not the end of 2013 as predicted in the October Monetary Policy
01[10:01] {Threei}  canadian dollar dropped hard on this
01[10:02] {Threei}  here is to its continuing drop

01[10:34] {Threei}  nah
01[10:34] {Threei}  rather bounce play
[10:34] {scottie} Isn't it an inverse C&H ?
01[10:36] {Threei}  it is, what makes me doubtful is the fact that it holds above its low while SPY makes new ones
[10:36] {scottie} tks
01[10:37] {Threei}  compare their respective charts,
01[10:37] {Threei}  you'll see relative strength
01[10:37] {Threei}  andf this kind tends to hold and bounce as soon as SPY tries to strengthen
01[10:38] {Threei}  worse yet, it can turn into trap, by dipping briefly under support, triggering your short and immediate;y recovering.
01[10:38] {Threei}  It'd tale a lot of new weakness in market to make this short work
01[10:38] {Threei}  not impossible, just low odds play
[10:38] {goryl} Vad, do u use RSI indicator?
01[10:39] {Threei}  no
[10:39] {scottie} AEP l .05 if holds 44 ?
01[10:39] {Threei}  I use "relative strength" term in its direct meaning, stock vs market

[11:45] {nemo} no, me neither
[11:46] {nemo} cipher's entry better
[11:46] {dino} ttm thoughts nemo?
[11:46] {nemo} it drops this low, probably looking another buck down
[11:48] {nemo} at the 50 day that's major, but it's way below daily pivots it's at the whole, i'd want to see it build a bit of a base around here
[11:48] {dino} wtw stop
[11:48] {nemo} plus it's lunch, if you want to buy it, you can stay in the bid for now...I don't see anything at the moment
[11:48] {nemo} ttm that is
[11:48] {dino} ty
[11:49] {nemo} buy the whole but keep a tight stop, this could drop out easily
[11:50] {nemo} wtw, short  likel to 53.70ish, would like to see it test .60 again and then go short
[11:50] {cipher} WTW stopped -.19

01[12:20] {Threei}  and down is a tad more likely than up
01[12:20] {Threei}  although not enough for me to commit
[12:22] {dptl} ok ty
01[12:34] {Threei}  market's drifting aimlessly
01[12:36] {Threei}  Indiana law banning sex offenders from social networking sites is unconstitutional, federal appeals court finds
[12:38] {jdetente} they should have a requirement in the profile that a sex offender has to identify that they have been convicted of a sex crime and have that shown in their status
[12:38] {jdetente} just like a sex offender has to identify themself when moving into a new neighbourhood
01[12:40] {Threei}  they'll find it offending his sensitivities
01[12:41] {Threei}  and negatively influencing his complexity
[12:41] {jdetente} yeah it might hurt his self esteem *rolls eyes*
01[12:41] {Threei}  complexion, sorry
01[12:45] {Threei}  US labor unions saw sharp declines in membership in 2012; unionization rate hit lowest level since the 1930s

01[15:22] {Threei}  when it's the least expected
[15:22] {jdetente} time to buy puts !
[15:22] {jdetente} :)
01[15:23] {Threei}  well, this I don't know... "when it's the least expected" by definition means I don't know when to expect it :)
