March 27 2013

Much better day as we adjusted to changing conditions. Once again. Never-changing process. Tomorrow  keep an eye on BBRY - this thing might be setting up for a short squeeze, with earnings day and 30% of its float shorted.

[11:46] {backman} BBRY cover was right off 2:1 return model....will be nice to turn this $$ some day soon
01[11:47] {Threei}  by the way, about trading without stops... I know I linked it about 200 times but it never gets old
01[11:47] {Threei}  http://blog.realitytrader.com/2007/05/stops-why-dont-we-keep-them.html
01[11:47] {Threei}  if it was more than 2 months since you read it, read it again
01[11:47] {Threei}  CAT 1:1
01[11:48] {Threei}  this time I was smarter and took .31
[11:49] {dino} out lnn .71, +1.71
01[11:49] {Threei}  wow
01[11:49] {Threei}  wtg
[11:49] {Will49} wowser
[11:50] {backman} my hero :=)
[11:50] {dino} lucky
[11:52] {backman} EBAY setting up volatility window
[11:52] {dino} where you in at?
[11:52] {dino} i'm at .15 from hour ago
[11:52] {dino} opps .10
01[11:52] {Threei}  (ES) Eurostat: spain 2012 budget accounting methods were flawed, did not change budget accounting rules- Other countries budget accounts are probably not affected
01[11:53] {Threei}  heh
[11:53] {dino} roflol, like you didn't see fake budgets coming
[11:53] {Les} never a dull moment in EUland
01[11:53] {Threei}  now, what does this remind you:
01[11:53] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Rosengren (moderate, voter): Asset purchases have boosted US labor markets, there is little evidence that Fed policies are causing financial stability problems
[11:54] {thomcbell} i read it again Vad - good stuff
01[11:54] {Threei}  to mwe, it's that guy who jumped from 100th floor
[11:54] {thomcbell} aapl day low
01[11:54] {Threei}  passing 50th, says "so far so good"
[11:55] {ese} lol
01[11:55] {Threei}  the rest of his speech is not much better
[11:55] {backman} out ebay -.04
01[11:55] {Threei}  - US housing prices remain well below their peak - DUH!
[11:55] {ese} out mdlz .24 +.10
[11:56] {ese} had enough of that one
01[11:56] {Threei}  home price/rent index is at 1993 levels presently. - PRESENTLY?
[11:56] {Les} hmmm forgotten my grammar rules here
01[11:56] {Threei}  - S&P500 is higher, but so are corporate earnings. Stock price gains appear in line with fundamentals. - you gotta be f*&^g kidding me?
01[11:57] {Threei}  next one can cause apoplexy:
01[11:57] {Threei}  - Bond yields are quite low, but they have declined in line with other market rates.
01[11:57] {Threei}  eeeck
01[11:57] {Threei}  - Low inflation gives the Fed the flexibility it needs to encourage faster growth and rapid declien in unemployment.
01[11:58] {Threei}  you folks claim low inflation for 5 years now
01[11:58] {Threei}  where is rapid decline in unemployment?
01[11:58] {Threei}  - Benefits of Fed asset purchases still outweigh costs.
01[11:58] {Threei}  again, passing 50th floor...
01[11:59] {Threei}  - Fed can vary monthly asset purchases by changing monthly amounts bought, should continue buys through 2013
01[12:00] {Threei}  OK, so come end of 2013 and you stop buying... market drops like a stone,... what's next?
01[12:01] {Threei}  this thing is so rudderless...
01[12:04] {Threei}  - Cyprus is preparing capital controls to buttress the reopening of banks tomorrow, while in Italy the Beppe Grillo's Five Star movement is doing its best to torpedo the formation of a government in Rome.
01[12:04] {Threei}  that thing is too, lol
[12:05] {ese} I love the italians.............just do it...........
01[12:05] {Threei}  - In Italy, the Five Star movement promised to vote against any Bersani government in a confidence vote, and even ruled out the possibility of the party's MPs walking out on a confidence vote to allow the formation of a government. There has been another round of Italy sovereign downgrade rumors
01[12:06] {Threei}  Note that in a sign of trouble, the bid-to-cover in the Italian five-year bond auction this morning was the lowest in over a decade. The euro is tanking, with EUR/USD at fresh four-month lows around 1.2770, well below the 200-day moving average.
[12:11] {Les} vad any sort of identifiable shorting pattern on RIG at the top or here?

[12:49] {jdetente} I was just reading your blog on stops Vad...so I'm having a zen moment looking at that rinse
[12:50] {jdetente} :)
01[12:50] {Threei}  :)
01[12:52] {Threei}  random reinforcement
[12:54] {jdetente} yes!
[12:55] {thomcbell} some days there is just not much juice
[13:00] {thomcbell} kors looks like something long here
[13:01] {Les} JPM covered flat. pushing for what isn't there

01[13:12] {Threei}  .81
01[13:12] {Threei}  {--- learned my lesson from two stocks that bounced from 1 cent off 1:1
[13:16] {dino} markets have stopped moving
[13:16] {Les} FB creating some volatility again
01[13:16] {Threei}  I had a girlfriend like that once dino
[13:16] {Will49} hey! that's my line:)
01[13:17] {Threei}  was, before I stole it :)
[13:17] {Les} FB .90 if holding .95?
[13:17] {Will49} hahaha
[13:17] {Will49} long as you don't steal my girlfriend
01[13:17] {Threei}  I doubt it les... feels against the grain
[13:17] {Les} k
[13:18] {jdetente} prudent cover on WFC
[13:18] {dino} lol
01[13:18] {Threei}  I am a quick study, jd :)
[13:18] {jdetente} glad I followed :)
01[13:19] {Threei}  I mean, after you step on the rake twice and its handle hits you on the forehead...
[13:19] {Les} you lose brain function
[13:19] {jdetente} http://www.dudemeetsdad.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Bob_rake.jpg
[13:19] {Will49} that' not where it usually hits me
01[13:19] {Threei}  lol
[13:20] {Les} hehe
[13:20] {backman} apol
01[13:21] {Threei}  one has to wonder why ese disconnected upon reading this rake exchange
[13:21] {Will49} if he's late for school, he'll get raked over the coals
01[13:22] {Threei}  my assumption would be, he has very vivid imagination, and Will's line sent him twisting in pain
[13:22] {Will49} :)
01[13:23] {Threei}  musicians are like that...
01[13:26] {Threei}  see FB?
[13:26] {thomcbell} still somewhat interested in a bbry long at some point
[13:27] {thomcbell} for the reasons Vad stated this am
01[13:27] {Threei}  I think c,loser to and after the earnings announcement
01[13:27] {Threei}  for now luring in the overconfident shorts continues
01[13:27] {Threei}  when all the suckers are suckered in, trap closes
[13:32] {Les} yeh saw FB
[13:34] {Les} lol 1:1 jpm without me
[13:35] {Les} sm short FB .98
[13:35] {dino} lulu to .45
01[13:36] {Threei}  look dcc les
[13:40] {dino} stop lulu .45, +.30
[13:46] {thomcbell} that looked pretty good the 14.51 break long on bbry Vad - i didnt publish but i did take the entry
[13:47] {thomcbell} publish is kind of funny
01[13:47] {Threei}  good setup, yes
01[13:47] {Threei}  but I am not really worried about missing little longs on it right now, it's still a guessing game
01[13:48] {Threei}  if and when that big trap works, we will have a lot of time and entry opportunities
01[13:48] {Threei}  such squeexe will go much longer than squeezed can imagine
01[13:49] {Threei}  just as it happened on that smackdown a few days ago, where we couldn't get setup near the top,
01[13:49] {Threei}  yet caught very nice short later on
[13:49] {dptl} acmp 40 short?
01[13:50] {Threei}  and just as with FB lockup, when poor shorts squirmed for weeks, not understanding what hit them
01[13:50] {Threei}  can't tell, ACMP
[13:56] {Les} FB stopped me getting squeezed
01[13:57] {Threei}  you are asking for it
01[13:57] {Threei}  [13:17] {Threei} I doubt it les... feels against the grain
[13:57] {dino} kyth? thin
[13:58] {backman} APOL 1:1...
01[13:58] {Threei}  (CY) Cyprus Foreign Minister: Government seriously considered exiting the eurozone during bailout negotiations- Feels the EU failed to show solidarity during the negotiations on the bailout.
01[13:58] {Threei}  you think?
[13:59] {dino} eu crushed them on greek debt and crushes them again. why they stay is beyond me
01[14:00] {Threei}  at some point meaningless of this will finally dawn on one of them
01[14:00] {Threei}  it's hard to be first to leave
01[14:00] {Threei}  but someone will
01[14:01] {Threei}  and whole house of cards will fall apart
01[14:01] {Threei}  and then it will be "last to leave, don't forget to turn the lights off"
[14:01] {thomcbell} another bad french employment number today
[14:02] {thomcbell} when that one starts to unravel things will get pretty atrocious
01[14:02] {Threei}  who would have thought electing socialists could hurt economy
01[14:02] {Threei}  and amazingly quickly, tbell
01[14:03] {Threei}  who remembers the mind-boggling speed with which USSR fell apart, knows just how quickly these things can go frpom zero to 100 mph
[14:06] {nemo} I do, started with the fall of the Berlin Wall
01[14:07] {Threei}  Egyptians Are Angered by Ongoing US Support of "Illegitimate Muslim Brotherhood Govt"
01[14:07] {Threei}  good move Obama
