[12:04] {nemo} FDX
01[12:05] {Threei}  - There is no shortage of bad news in markets this morning to keep US equities in the red. The Cyprus situation is no closer to resolution, the first reading of the March German manufacturing PMI data indicated the series has returned to contraction and Oracle reported very weak Q3 results. On the bright side, the March Philly Fed survey roared back to positive after Feb's big negative reading and the prelim Markit PMI manufacturing was pretty good.
01[12:06] {Threei}  - Pressure is building on Cyprus to get a deal done to stave of financial disaster. With the Cyprus finance minister not making any headway with the Russians in Moscow, Cyprus government officials are discussing Plan B centered around the creation of a "solidarity fund" funded with various state assets. Eurozone officials say the nation would have to basically wind down their biggest banks and wipe out depositors if they didn't agree to the proposed levy, but comments from various sources suggest the levy is a dead letter.
01[12:06] {Threei}  Note that yesterday the ECB told Cyprus that it has until Monday to reach a deal or emergency ELA funding would be cut off.

[13:05] {Les} had enough of ORCL
01[13:09] {Threei}  die ORCL
01[13:10] {Threei}  1:1 baby
01[13:10] {Threei}  now Les... let's see
[13:10] {Les} :(
01[13:10] {Threei}  why do 5 trades with no setup instead of waiting for one but clearly defined?
[13:10] {jdetente} step by step
[13:11] {Les} because I like punishing myself
01[13:11] {Threei}  you go long, stop by a few cents, short, stop by a few cents
[13:11] {backman} BBRY
01[13:11] {Threei}  this is not trading
01[13:11] {Threei}  this is dart shooting
01[13:11] {Threei}  wait for frikin setup and take it
01[13:11] {Threei}  no setup, no trade
[13:11] {nemo} you mean death by 1000 cuts?
01[13:12] {Threei}  result is that, yes
01[13:12] {Threei}  let me show you what I saw
[13:12] {nemo} GS on lows
[13:12] {nemo} oh Gawd, not that Vad
[13:12] {jdetente} took a scalp on that ORCL. thanks Vad
01[13:12] {Threei}  after nice double bottom at .20, it made 70 cents move
01[13:12] {Threei}  yw
01[13:13] {Threei}  move has ended with sharp spike at 12:25 - 37,
01[13:13] {Threei}  retreat, consolidation above support at .80
01[13:13] {Threei}  bbs tightened, nice and clean shiort setup
01[13:14] {Threei}  can't help but ask... what made you take all those multiple atempts?
01[13:14] {Threei}  let me cite this analogy which might help
01[13:15] {Threei}  stop thinking of trading as machine gun shooting in hopw to hit a target with one of the bullets
01[13:15] {Threei}  think of it as sitting in the hide
01[13:15] {Threei}  and waiting for a weak anthelope to walk by
01[13:15] {Threei}  you may havfe to sit long and get bored
[13:16] {Les} this is something I have to work on
[13:16] {Les} when market stops
[13:16] {Les} I get dangerous and delusional
01[13:16] {Threei}  but if you chose to shoot at anything that walks or runs by instead, what are yiour chances to hit anything worthy?
01[13:17] {Threei}  OK, so here are two methods for you to chose fropm
01[13:17] {Threei}  One:
01[13:17] {Threei}  grab a post-it note,
01[13:17] {Threei}  write on it in bold red letters:
01[13:17] {Threei}  Is there a setup or do I get D&D?
[13:18] {Les} d&d?
01[13:18] {Threei}  where first D stands for dangerous and second for delusional
01[13:18] {Threei}  and look at it before clicking that button
01[13:18] {Threei}  Second is described in MPP
01[13:19] {Threei}  calculate a monetary loss caused by these drive-by trades
01[13:19] {Threei}  write it on post-it in a form:
[13:19] {nemo} I think he should cut off his hands
01[13:19] {Threei}  $xxx - price of stupidity. Still want to click that button??
01[13:19] {Threei}  slap it on your monitor
01[13:20] {Threei}  so you can't not see it
[13:20] {jdetente} 1:2 for the non-scalpers on ORCL
01[13:20] {Threei}  yup, 1:2, I am out
[13:20] {nemo} do bad he couldn't get a pop up window everytime he loads a stock
01[13:20] {Threei}  nice and easy
[13:21] {Les} took orcl AGAIN .76 holding last piece here
[13:21] {Les} will do vad
01[13:21] {Threei}  seriosuly, do
01[13:21] {Threei}  it works
[13:21] {Les} yeh it's a block to my performance
[13:21] {nemo} can he read?
01[13:22] {Threei}  I don't remember whether I wrote about it in MPP,
[13:22] {nemo} think you did
01[13:22] {Threei}  but I had a mentoring vlient with a problem kike this,
01[13:22] {Threei}  like this
01[13:22] {Threei}  he hd some kind of inner demon possessing him to bklow his stops
01[13:23] {Threei}  three killed accounts, he still couldn't make himself keep his stops
01[13:23] {Threei}  I had him do extreme version of this "post-it" self-conditioning
01[13:23] {Threei}  he wrote about 20 of them
01[13:23] {Threei}  some were on his monitor,
01[13:24] {Threei}  some in his fridge, on the dishes and bottles he reached for,
01[13:24] {Threei}  some in pcokets on various pieces of clothing,
01[13:24] {Threei}  and even in his shoes
01[13:24] {Threei}  He was stumbling onto those "HOLD YOUR F***ING STOPS!" everywhere
01[13:25] {Threei}  in two weeks his wife e-mailed me with question,
[13:25] {patel} surprised he didnt tatatoo that on his body somewhere.
01[13:25] {Threei}  said: "I love what I see and how it helps him, and I started adding those,
01[13:26] {Threei}  I make sure I write a post-it and slap on a mirror in the washroom so he sees it in the morning,
01[13:26] {Threei}  on his coffee mug, etc,
01[13:26] {Threei}  just one thing... may I skip the swearing, kids, you know"
01[13:27] {Threei}  I said, well, I didn't think he'd take it that literally..
01[13:27] {Threei}  I inserted the word just in a course of conversation
01[13:27] {Threei}  long story short, it worked
[13:30] {Les} ORCL covered .61 +.16
01[13:30] {Threei}  there you go
01[13:30] {Threei}  one meaningful trade instead of 5 guesses
01[13:31] {Threei}  you are not dp's long lost brother, are you?
01[13:31] {Threei}  he used to do same thing
[13:31] {dptl} still fighting this
01[13:33] {Threei}  it's not as if I don't know hot it feels... I did the same thing in 1997, and I even remember a stock
01[13:33] {Threei}  ASND
[13:33] {Les} UPS averaged in a little on new lows at .35 covered last piece .93 +.64
01[13:33] {Threei}  not listed anymore
01[13:33] {Threei}  Ascend communications or something like this
[13:34] {Les} big thank you to Nemo for heads up
01[13:34] {Threei}  it was dropping like crazy that day, then bouncing like crazy
01[13:34] {Threei}  I for some reason decided it was full of opportunities
01[13:35] {Threei}  when I was done with it, or better put it was done with me, I counted 16 trades (and commissions were 25 bucks one way back then) and $2,800 loss
01[13:44] {Threei}  ese, do you want a daffodil farm in my neck of the woods?
[13:44] {Les} how much vad?
01[13:44] {Threei}  $20.4 mil, but I am sure we can negotiate it down to 20
[13:45] {Les} ouch

01[14:00] {Threei}  (CY) Cyprus Central Bank chief confirms the bank restructuring legislation under review in parliament will guarantee safety of deposits under �100K- Bank bill would allow for banks to reopen on Tuesday and review continued funding assistance from the ECB (ELA); alternatives to bill would be the closure of the Cyprus banks
01[14:01] {Threei}  so, will they just increase levy on accounts above 100K?
01[14:02] {Threei}  it's so fascinating to watch this self-destruction
[14:02] {Les} Hitler's epoch doesn't look so exceptional in light of present european behaviour
01[14:03] {Threei}  in many regards different from xUSSR, and in many very similar
01[14:03] {Threei}  1:1 on the fade
01[14:05] {Threei}  you took it les?
[14:06] {Les} yeh yeh
[14:06] {Les} ty

[14:07] {Les} k
01[14:07] {Threei}  believe me, it's very painful to say,
[14:07] {nemo} we could have a collapse, but, odds aren't with you
01[14:08] {Threei}  but nemo is right
01[14:13] {Threei}  there you go
01[14:13] {Threei}  (CY) Troika approves the lates Cyprus banking legislation
01[14:14] {Threei}  which ultimately includes controls on capital outflows
01[14:17] {Threei}  VCLK halt
[14:17] {Les} SPY  .60 short if holding .65}?
[14:17] {Les} never mind
01[14:26] {Threei}  "Nothing is more effective in demoralizing an enemy than seeing Scottish parachutists"

[14:59] {Les} GDX too for the moment
01[15:01] {Threei}  Cyprus - Bill would limit withdrawls and restrict the capital circulation
01[15:01] {Threei}  oh good
01[15:02] {Threei}  because we have too few restraints and too much capital circulation, and limiting those improves life
[15:06] {Les} GS

01[15:07] {Threei}  who knows
01[15:07] {Threei}  no indication
