01[10:08] {&Threei} meh
[10:15] {ese} vad ...if you've got a sec take a look at yndx for me......let me know what you think does it have the strength to break .00
[10:15] {ese} ascending triangle...higher lows
01[10:16] {&Threei} hate the spread...
[10:16] {ese} ya
01[10:16] {&Threei} and this slow pace of prints
01[10:16] {&Threei} chart is right, but this trading by appointment can be very treacherous
[10:17] {ese} tks ......
[10:19] {ese} am sm on it....3/4 lot
[10:20] {ese} if it breaks through .00 i might add some more
[10:28] {dino} silc l .47
[10:32] {nemo} forgot LVS anyway

[11:06] {nemo} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[11:20] {ese} vad......does the fact that yndx is a Russian company bode well for it in terms of not following the american mrkt......it certainly isn't folllowing it now....is that normal for over seas companies
01[11:21] {&Threei} I don't think there is any pattern in this
01[11:21] {&Threei} if people want to buy stocks, they buy them
01[11:21] {&Threei} lack of desire to buy it can be caused by zillion reasons,
01[11:22] {&Threei} but being a foreign stock by itself is not a factor
01[11:22] {&Threei} it becomes a factor if market doesn't think that particular country has good perspectives,
[11:23] {ese} ok
01[11:23] {&Threei} but it's no different than attitude toward particular sector or industry
[11:24] {ese} tks....was just a thought
[11:28] {ese} slow death with the spyders

01[11:57] {&Threei} it's not so much about reaction speed as it is about intervals between wakeup periods
[11:57] {ese} lol..... Count me in there
....
[11:59] {RonS} sheesh...just when I think a new low not possible...
[12:00] {nemo} oh please...your memory has faded
[12:00] {ese} Are you talking about the market or the way they're treating me?
[12:00] {RonS} nemo

[12:12] {nemo} Wow, are we bored...
[12:13] {dino} or tol is getting hammered
[12:13] {nemo} nah, for ese, that might be a stretch
[12:13] {dino} lol
[12:13] {dino} how about ung stinks
[12:14] {nemo} having said that, did you know the smell is added artificially?
[12:14] {dino} yes
[12:14] {dino} but mine is natural
[12:14] {nemo} we'll go with it though
[12:14] {nemo} well, yours is methane
[12:15] {nemo} BIDU looking short here
[12:16] {RonS} lol, "yours is methane"...
[12:17] {nemo} They'll probably use the contents of this blog over the years as evidence in my involuntary commitment hearing
[12:21] {RonS} gyp means to cheat which came about as an association to gypsie who's history is one rife w/ liars, cheats, con artists and thieves...
