01[09:08] {&Threei}  somwe call it "civility..." look it up
[09:08] {nemo} msft on the other hand...
01[09:09] {&Threei}  different views on those
01[09:09] {&Threei}  MSFT is seen as declining business, not capable to reinbvent themselves, focusing on "me too" prodicts like Surface
01[09:10] {&Threei}  GOOG is seen as investing in the future rather than having a bad q
[09:10] {nemo} spy half usual pre market volume

01[09:11] {&Threei}  no
01[09:11] {&Threei}  MSFT needs real course change

01[13:29] {&Threei}  SPY drop is killing it
[13:29] {nemo} talking to Alex, when you see that much volume packed at a level, consider it a trap door or springboard.  In this face, it eats up that volume on the downside, GTFO!

[13:43] {Alexs} does it make sence to take a stop if it brakes .70 again?
