May 08 2014

Very nice morning and totally dead afternoon, without any action pick-up even on the last hour. Engaging PPP (profit preservation procedure) helped keep the day profitable

Session Time: Thu May 08 00:00:00 2014
[08:56] {dino} gm
01[08:57] {@Threei}  morning dino
01[08:57] {@Threei}  not much happened yesterday I see
01[09:02] {@Threei}  (UR) Russia says the reaction from Kiev has called into question the prospects of a dialog between the interim govt and separatists - press
01[09:03] {@Threei}  I thought it was shooting, kidnapping and killing...
[09:06] {RonS} gm, good trip?
01[09:06] {@Threei}  ron :)
01[09:06] {@Threei}  very
01[09:07] {@Threei}  orchestra of the highest world class
[09:07] {RonS} what did they play?
01[09:08] {@Threei}  Mozart, Shostakovich, Thaikovsky
[09:09] {RonS} always like Shostakovich here...
01[09:09] {@Threei}  I haven't heard that much russian around in ages... almost shocking
01[09:10] {@Threei}  I guess 90% of the public
[09:10] {troub} good morning you all
01[09:10] {@Threei}  and of course two fractions at the entrance, with Ukrainian and Russian flags and leaflets
01[09:10] {@Threei}  troub :)
[09:11] {cosmo} russia must be getting popular
01[09:11] {@Threei}  AK-47 always adds popularity
[09:11] {cosmo} I haven't heard that one yet
[09:12] {cosmo} :)
[09:12] {RonS} the few times i have been to Vancouver found it shocking how many chinese are there...
01[09:13] {@Threei}  it's not known as Honkouver for nothing
[09:13] {nemo} and they find it shocking how many white people are there
[09:14] {RonS} of course every time i go shopping here am shocked how many indians are here...
[09:14] {RonS} ain't talking native americans either...
01[09:15] {@Threei}  meanwhile, west continues displaying total misunderstanding of Putin's words and actions
01[09:15] {@Threei}  he says "I ask separatists to postpone referndum"
01[09:15] {@Threei}  west jumps in joy: "he softened his stance, deescalation starts"
01[09:16] {@Threei}  separatists: no
01[09:16] {@Threei}  Putin nods, that was the idea
01[09:16] {@Threei}  to distant himself from them and be able to ay "see, it's not my people, it's ukrainians"
01[09:17] {@Threei}  for west, words indicate thoughts and intentions
01[09:17] {@Threei}  for kgb, words are another kind of weapon
[09:18] {dptl} good morning
01[09:18] {@Threei}  dp :)

[10:58] {_rcford} Love the way this works so I will be onboard
01[10:58] {@Threei}  and be carweful, there is a lot of musinformation on level 2 out there

01[10:59] {@Threei}  which is total bs
01[10:59] {@Threei}  cool beans, that will cover a lot of ground
[10:59] {nemo} yeah, and since HFT came into vogue, LII reading ain't what it used to be
01[11:00] {@Threei}  not that it ever was all it was cranked up to be
01[11:00] {@Threei}  but it used to be a bit more informative... in late 90s, lol
[11:00] {nemo} levels were more definitive before
[11:00] {_rcford} Yeah I only want what I saw you do today.
01[11:02] {@Threei}  also, since I mentioned profit preservation procedure, let me find url for that
