Very slow and mildly profitable day. Bearing with waiting is major challenge one faces on such days, as attempts to push too much in stagnant market will cause endless papercuts. Firs our of trading got eaten by another server shenanigans, but it was unremarkable anyway.

[14:47] {nemo} this summer will be ridiculous
01[14:47] {Threei} there is a lot that may happen till then
01[14:48] {Threei} so, anyone got chills from that chart?
[14:48] {nemo} or not

[14:50] {nemo} the laments of the jumpers from their office windows
01[14:51] {Threei} there is a lot of complacency in the market
01[14:51] {Threei} as if nothing bad can happen anymore, we can only climb
[14:51] {nemo} yeah, but there was 2 years of complacency in 02-04
01[14:51] {Threei} meanwhile, there are so many things that can go horribly wrong at any moment
[14:52] {nemo} Obama was re-elected, what can go worse
01[14:52] {Threei} 02-04 markret was at the bottom, you goof
01[14:52] {Threei} now it's at the top
