01[11:33] {Threei} Pacific Crest cautious comments
[11:33] {dino} cya scott
[11:33] {scottie} bye everyone :)
01[11:35] {Threei} frikin SLW
[11:36] {jdetente} I broke the rules and got 1:1
[11:36] {Will49} you're under arrest
01[11:37] {Threei} let me give you better way to break rules
01[11:38] {Threei} SLW invalidated .60 setup at 11:20 - 11:21, by going to .73,
01[11:38] {Threei} dropped to .55,
01[11:38] {Threei} bounced and topped out at .71.
01[11:38] {Threei} Breaking .70 it gave an aggressibe double top entry,
01[11:39] {Threei} with much tighter stop and better potential
01[11:39] {Threei} vs .60 trigger that was very iffy
[11:39] {jdetente} with a .76 stop?
01[11:39] {Threei} right
[11:39] {jdetente} that makes sense better risk/reward
01[11:39] {Threei} .60 could have easily be a trap with immediate bounce
01[11:39] {Threei} forming double bottom, .55 - .58
01[11:41] {Threei} OK, economy is finished as of today
01[11:42] {Threei} 750,000 jobs
[11:42] {dino} the joke is he set this up
01[11:42] {Threei} there are more jokes in it
01[11:42] {Threei} for instance, these cuts can easily be reconfigured so they cut waste
01[11:43] {Threei} but he doesn't want it, he wants them to cause damage, so he could lay the fault at republicans' feet
01[11:44] {Threei} there you go: "ot's happening because republicans in congress failed to act"
[11:44] {dino} never his fault for anything
[11:45] {Will49} is ANYBODY in politics or business taking responsibility for anything these days?
[11:46] {Will49} the "me" generation in action
[11:47] {dino} clh drop
[11:49] {Will49} Jaded:
[11:49] {Will49} The end result of having a steady flow of negative experiences, disappointment, and unfulfillment fed into a person where they get to the point where their anger circuits just sort of burn out and they accept disillusionment.
[11:49] {Will49} me
[11:49] {Will49} but just about politics mainly
[11:50] {dino} clh sm l .80
[11:51] {dino} out clh .10, +.30
[11:52] {Will49} guess I insulted the "me" generation guys here too
[11:53] {dino} lol. yo are just stating the truth
[11:53] {Will49} yeah dino:)
[11:54] {Will49} the "me" generation guys here ARE taking responsibility for their own financial affairs anyway
[11:56] {dino} left a lot on the table w/clh
[11:56] {Will49} Hey Vad, I'm starting to sound like that guy on the blog who complains about everything. Can
[11:56] {Will49} t remember his name
[11:56] {nemo} the Hawaiian guy?
01[11:56] {Threei} I am not much different so... :)
[11:57] {Will49} no. older guy from Illinois
01[11:57] {Threei} grym
[11:57] {Will49} that's him
[11:57] {nemo} thus the moniker
[11:57] {Will49} :)
[11:57] {nemo} makes me look downright palatable
[11:57] {Will49} when I was reading the blog, i had to put the guy on ignore
[11:58] {Will49} now, i is he
[11:59] {Will49} would never put you on ignore nemo
[11:59] {Will49} we don't have an ignore button, do we?
01[12:00] {Threei} we do

[12:01] {Will49} tks Vad...don't need it :)

The event will be held at Facebook on Thursday March 7th, 2013 at 10am PST and well be on site."

[13:02] {Will49} sigh is a sign of jadedness
[13:03] {nemo} he says the same thing my Russian friend said when he came here in 75. "I never thought I'd see this again."
01[13:03] {Threei} wait... he said that in 75?
01[13:03] {Threei} or he camr in 75 and says it now?
[13:03] {nemo} that's when he came here
[13:03] {nemo} sorry
01[13:04] {Threei} so when did he say it?
[13:07] {dino} its starting to look like atlas shrugged
[13:07] {nemo} about 15 years ago was the first time
[13:07] {nemo} that I remember anyway
01[13:08] {Threei} OK... I have no direct knowledge of that, I came here 17 years ago :)
