[10:53] {+cc_9} nemo, i was only looking for about $0.40 on DD on a gap/fade then reversal
[10:53] {+cc_9} only its been headfaking and moving lower
[10:54] {nemo} when it made that hammer on 3 minute and then dropped it, that wsa it, now look for bounce at yestedya's close
[10:55] {+cc_9} SPY little bounce, DD nothing yet
[10:56] {nemo} dd trying to make hammers
[10:57] {+cc_9} jeez...cant' even have a dead cat bounce so i can get out already
[10:57] {nemo} either close or whole number

01[11:00] {&Threei} Short Setup: MCD  .40 break
01[11:01] {&Threei}  If holds  .45
[11:01] {nemo} oh sheesh, DD drops .90 good night Irene
[11:02] {nemo} there's your whole number bounce
[11:03] {nemo} spy should get to 169 and turn around
[11:04] {nemo} dd probably gets to .50ish
[11:06] {nemo} next is 58
[11:08] {+cc_9} getting close
[11:09] {nemo} might want to partial here
[11:11] {+cc_9} trying trying
[11:11] {nemo} no hoping hoping
[11:12] {+cc_9} some profit taking on that bounce, lets see how long it wants to consolidate before another leg up
01[11:12] {&Threei}  1:1
01[11:12] {&Threei}  C 1:4...
[11:13] {+cc_9} trying to get a crack @ .80 bid DD
[11:15] {+cc_9} stuck @ 57.80 first wall
01[11:16] {&Threei}  1:5... next time we short C, let's hold each other hands to keep each other from covering it
01[11:16] {&Threei}  whoever happen to hold nemo's hands, watch out for poisoning by osmosis
[11:16] {+cc_9} SPY trying to catch a bid, lets see if that helps DD at all
01[11:17] {&Threei}  I doubt it, DD is a fresh mover, tends to be independent
[11:22] {+cc_9} DD is also part of the Dow Jones (could be seen as a market mover)
[11:22] {RonS} beav getting waxed...
01[11:22] {&Threei}  MCD 1:2
01[11:23] {&Threei}  who would have thought the day turns like this after first trades
[11:24] {+cc_9} DD breaking out is $0.20 away from market (give or take 57.85)
[11:28] {+cc_9} sideways action DD
[11:29] {+cc_9} SPY pushing a bit, see if that gives any in-flow DD
[11:29] {nemo} wow, this one bear really cleaning up at the river today
[11:31] {RonS} has soap?
[11:31] {nemo} oh...sorry, salmon
[11:32] {nemo} wish they had sound...that would be nice to have the sound of a running river in the background
[11:32] {nemo} http://bit.ly/12QHnxi
[11:32] {nemo} HOLY SHIT!!!! the SPY is down .23!!!
[11:33] {RonS} how much is salmon in Vickyville?
[11:35] {+cc_9} DD slight uptick
[11:35] {RonS} store here sold some silver brights for $2/lb...realize that's a junk fish up there...
[11:35] {nemo} slope of hope there cc?
[11:36] {RonS} guess I insulted the Queen...
[11:36] {nemo} ?
[11:37] {+cc_9} nemo, no hope...just stating what I'm seeing
[11:37] {nemo} well what your programming perceives
[11:37] {RonS} Vickeyville then no reply...
[11:37] {nemo} was I supposed to reply?
[11:38] {RonS} sheesh, no, someone who lives in Victoria...:P
[11:38] {nemo} o.k.
01[11:38] {&Threei}  huh?
01[11:38] {&Threei}  lol
[11:38] {+cc_9} DD .70s, 57.80 wall test on the way
01[11:40] {&Threei}  there are too many variations of salmon, ron... anywhere from $.99/lb for the pink salmon to $2.99 for coho
[11:40] {RonS} wow coho 10=12 bucks here
[11:40] {RonS} 10-12
01[11:41] {&Threei}  eeck
[11:41] {+cc_9} DD wall test
[11:41] {+cc_9} push push push
01[11:42] {&Threei}  MCD, if reaches 1:3 will try to trail and hold for 1:4
[11:42] {RonS} can't afford the good fish and palate cannot handle farm raised...
[11:42] {+cc_9} DD through the wall, next stop 58
[11:43] {nemo} oh, oh, not good when dd tops out there
[11:45] {+cc_9} I have a feeling DD plays out the same as SNDK from last week
01[11:46] {&Threei}  1:3
01[11:46] {&Threei}  stop to .21
[11:48] {+cc_9} SPY another leg up
[11:49] {+cc_9} DD already trading 1.5x avg daily volume with over 4 hours to go
[11:51] {nemo} DD doesn't hold this swing low, likely to go test the bottom and that .90 level on the daily
[11:54] {+cc_9} needs to hold 57.40 intraday channel support post-bounce
[11:54] {nemo} yeah, that R1 level
[11:57] {+cc_9} sideways move no bueno
[11:58] {nemo} muy peligroso
[11:58] {RonS} cold pellegrino
[12:05] {+cc_9} Some volume there DD, either a gang of stops under .40 or just a big sell
[12:11] {dino} lo hl l .20
[12:15] {+cc_9} ugly downtick here DD
[12:15] {dino} trv waking
[12:16] {nemo} yeah, it double topped at the 3/34 ema, that is often a demarcation line for strong or weak stocks
[12:26] {+cc_9} DD flirting with LOD range, meanwhile SPY catching a bid
[12:26] {nemo} indexes cant stay red
[12:27] {nemo} DD might bounce here
[12:39] {ese} L gdx .00
[12:49] {+cc_9} DD nice call on that bounce nemo
[12:49] {+cc_9} back to .60s
01[12:54] {&Threei}  @TheTweetOfGod
01[12:54] {&Threei}  The reason I don't respond to your tweets is the same reason I don't respond to your prayers: I infinitely don't care.
01[12:57] {&Threei}  (US) White House Press Sec Carney: It is dangerous to 'flirt' with default, is unthinkable that the US would default- Comments come after both McConnell and Boehner earlier made comments regarding conditions for raising the debt ceiling and targets for spending
[12:57] {+cc_9} SPY drop, DD bid holding for now
01[12:58] {&Threei}  (US) Senate Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY): The US does not need any more revenue, US should not walk away from spending cuts- Comments that President Obama wants to 'undo' spending cuts
01[12:58] {&Threei}  play for 2014 starts in earnest I see
01[12:59] {&Threei}  (GR) Germany Fin Ministry: Have not been able to confirm all measures needed before sending payment to Greece; have delayed aid tranche
