Feb 18 2014

Some setups are so textbook, you almost feel guilty making money on them. JBE setup, right from the 111 TRADES pages: http://www.realitytrader.com/111trades.html 


Decent day overall although majority of trades were limited to scalps.

[13:17] {fish_49} I think Milos Mitic don't like me or my beliefs  lol
01[13:17] {@Threei}  I can't hardly believe my eyes
[13:18] {fish_49} you cant believe there are that many police  or you cant believe they had enough and are standing up for themselves in large numbers?
01[13:18] {@Threei}  I mean, this is not a country where governments change every 3 months and street riots is a habitual passtime
01[13:19] {@Threei}  people for decades were politically inert
01[13:19] {@Threei}  the only customary interaction with government wasd to hide from it
01[13:20] {@Threei}  this kind of riots on the familiar streets is incredible to see
[13:20] {fish_49} no hiding today  they kicked some ass
01[13:20] {@Threei}  I am not really sure who is standing up for what though
01[13:20] {@Threei}  against Russia, for EU?
[13:21] {fish_49} in the early 80's  I watched that  every day in South Korea.  carried gas mask everywhere I went
01[13:21] {@Threei}  heh
01[13:21] {@Threei}  opposition is not monolithic, there are very different forces in it
[13:21] {fish_49} what seems to to be the cause?  why are they fighting the GOV now
01[13:22] {@Threei}  some of them are open nazis
[13:22] {fish_49} the protestors  or the gov?
[13:22] {dino} gel drop
01[13:22] {@Threei}  protestors
[13:23] {fish_49} ohhhh
01[13:23] {@Threei}  gov are just common thugs
01[13:23] {@Threei}  it started with demand to join EU and not Russia
[13:23] {fish_49} so the thugs fight the nazis   hmmmm
01[13:23] {@Threei}  and original protestors were mostly sincere in that
01[13:24] {@Threei}  but over months of the standoff, many various forces joined in\
[13:24] {RonS} GEL said Q4 net income from continuing operations fell to $0.19 per unit from $0.34 the year earlier and coming in well below the $0.36 average estimate from analysts polled by Capital IQ. Revenues were up at $961 million from $919 million a year ago, missing the $1.4 billion estimate.
