01[09:17] {Threei}  good luck with that
01[09:17] {Threei}  when company starts fighting analysts estimation in a public spat, it rarely ends well

[09:46] {Les} hehehe
01[09:46] {Threei}  shorting public hysteria is much more fun
[09:46] {Les} feeding on fear your thing hey?
[09:46] {Les} :)
01[09:47] {Threei}  greed is good, too... to borrow from Gekko
[09:47] {dino} yes
[09:47] {Les} double edged sword
[09:47] {Les} gotta learn how to use greed

[09:48] {Les} - f
[09:49] {dino} infy gap fill jan
[09:49] {Les} gotta admit morbid interest in reading new gold bug blog commentary.
01[09:49] {Threei}  it's highly educational
01[09:49] {Threei}  helps you recognize this dealy mindset
01[09:50] {Threei}  deadly
[09:50] {Les} enlightening, yes
01[09:50] {Threei}  "I am right, the market is wrong, it's manipulation"
01[09:51] {Threei}  ever catch yourself thinking like that, close all position and drink for 3 days straughtm to erase all the brain cells that carry this way of thinking
[09:51] {Will49} LOL
01[09:51] {Threei}  SLW 1:3, out
[09:52] {thomcbell} good job vad
[09:52] {thomcbell} great job
01[09:52] {Threei}  GDX 1:2
01[09:52] {Threei}  ty sir
[09:52] {Les} gonna have to call it a day
[09:53] {Les} slaughtering gold longs has made my daily pay check
[09:53] {dino} ctsh new lows, infy app lod
01[09:53] {Threei}  wait, GDX is coming on 1:3 as well

01[09:53] {Threei}  awww SLW
01[09:53] {Threei}  1:4
01[09:54] {Threei}  so Les... was there any second of it that wasn't fun?? :)
[09:54] {Les} hmmmm
[09:54] {Les} the emotions were kept in pocket there during tradess
01[09:54] {Threei}  and notice... there is no creative thinking involved with each and every trade
01[09:54] {Threei}  like filling a template
[09:54] {Les} fun will come commenting in various blog spaces now
[09:54] {Will49} that's the part i like
[09:55] {Les} yeh
[09:55] {Will49} no thinking
01[09:55] {Threei}  standard operating procedure:
[09:55] {Les} still working through the struggle between what I ethink and what I see
01[09:55] {Threei}  trading idea is in place, watch for the setup that goes in accordance with it,
01[09:55] {Threei}  take it when it comes, wait for the outcome.
[09:55] {dino} gj les
01[09:55] {Threei}  day after day, like a clockwork
[09:55] {thomcbell} i do as well Les -
01[09:56] {Threei}  GDX 1:3, out
[09:56] {thomcbell} im a work in progress - but keeping getting better with this method
[09:56] {Les} C clocked me good the last couple of session as I took silly bets that it would squeeze some more. Of course it did no such thing
01[09:56] {Threei}  that's good
01[09:57] {Threei}  yiou know what would be bad?
01[09:57] {Threei}  if it did do what expect
01[09:57] {Threei}  what you expect
01[09:57] {Threei}  that would reinforce your bad habit of trading an idea with no setup
[09:57] {Will49} in life...expectations lead to pain
01[09:57] {Threei}  as it is, it showed you that chart setup overrides everything
01[09:58] {Threei}  and next time you won't do that
01[09:58] {Threei}  or will, but more seldom, and will get out faster
01[09:58] {Threei}  until bad habit is eliminated
[09:58] {dino} athn drop
[09:59] {thomcbell} looking for a setup lvs short here vad
[09:59] {Les} will take day off and go do more pyjama partying
[09:59] {Les} slowly geting balance between work and other activities

01[13:46] {Threei}  well, we'll find out :)
[13:47] {Will49} of course, you being a Russian-Canadian can fight with a beer in one hand
[13:48] {Will49} I only fight when wearing skates

01[13:49] {Threei}  going to be epic
[13:49] {Will49} oops...forgot DP, he can help with the rough stuff too
