01[10:12] {@Threei} next spot of world-influencing disturbance:
01[10:12] {@Threei} (SR) Saudi Arabia King Abdullah's deputy heir, Crown Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, is said to face resistance from some quarters of the Saudi elite - Washington Post- Muqrin is the king's younger brother and appears to be popular among ordinary people, who say he is not corrupt. - Muqrins elevation is unpopular in some quarters due to questions about the validity of his newly created title and his pedigree as the son of a Yemeni concubine who was never formally married to his father. - Naming of Muqrin skipped over at least two other brothers, upsetting the unspoken rule that the succession passes down according to age
[10:14] {dino} lol like age has anything to do w/smarts
01[10:14] {@Threei} " his newly created title and his pedigree as the son of a Yemeni concubine" - and we thought we had problems
[10:15] {dino} perhaps that concubine put in extra effort

[11:14] {Alexs} interesting
[11:14] {cosmo} can't understand it....prec mteals are supposed to ralley at times of rising war tensions
01[11:15] {@Threei} yes
01[11:15] {@Threei} but there is no war tensions
[11:15] {dino} up is down cosmo
[11:15] {cosmo} ah
[11:15] {cosmo} phoney tensions?
01[11:16] {@Threei} from market point of view, there is new president, more promise of stability and Putin making peaceful noises
[11:16] {dino} scanners not throwing much out
01[11:16] {@Threei} internal battles in Ukraine is not of market's concern
01[11:16] {@Threei} war between countries is
[11:17] {RonS} celg spike
01[11:17] {@Threei} and even that is limited to a degree to which it's likely to involve others
[11:17] {cosmo} ic
[11:18] {dino} markets have already ngiven ukraine to russia
01[11:19] {@Threei} or at least stated that they don't care whether it remains whole or independent - as long as no open war breaks out
[11:19] {RonS} whr pressure
01[11:19] {@Threei} - Gold prices have slid nearly 2% through the European session on a number of factors. China's gold imports from Hong Kong fell in April amid signs that investment demand is waning. The election in Ukraine provided a decisive outcome and Russia has made conciliatory noises. There has been some follow-on effect from falling platinum prices, after South Africa's mining minister pledged to mediate in a long-running strike
01[11:20] {@Threei} of course those noises are just that, as Russia continues supporting and supplying rebels
01[11:20] {@Threei} but there is no invasion, and that's all markets care about
01[11:20] {@Threei} 1:1 P
[11:21] {cosmo} So then, ultimately gold will serve those best who can fashion it into a weapon of valor for personal protection.
[11:22] {cosmo} just a theory
[11:24] {Alexs} HPQ is working Vad 1:1
01[11:24] {@Threei} :)

01[12:31] {@Threei} anyway, stop to .16
01[12:34] {@Threei} noq, this is a meaningless line if I ever saw any:
01[12:34] {@Threei} Ukrainian Congress Committee of America declares presidential elections free and democratic
01[12:35] {@Threei} anyone asked them? their seal of approval is needed? Anyne even knew they existed?
[12:35] {Alexs} that's exactly what Ukraine expected from them
01[12:35] {@Threei} I doubt there is more than 10 people in Ukraine that ever heard about them
[12:37] {Alexs} and as many people in that Congress I guess
01[12:37] {@Threei} now, there is an insurance company that insured Donetsk airport... I expect bankruptsy any day now
01[12:37] {@Threei} lol, true
01[12:37] {@Threei} youngest is 92
01[12:37] {@Threei} he is the one they sent for coffee
01[12:37] {@Threei} because he brings it in under 4 hours
01[12:38] {@Threei} the rest take 3 days, and police help to locate the office
[12:41] {Alexs} Poroshenko promissed his first trip will be to Donetsk I guess he decided to send a couple of bombers first
01[12:41] {@Threei} paving the road?
[12:41] {Alexs} lol
01[12:42] {@Threei} I don't know what he is hoping to achieve there. People's governor" refused to meet with him
01[12:42] {@Threei} who is he going to talk to?
[12:43] {Alexs} I don't think he will go there in the nearest future
01[12:43] {@Threei} he also gave another promise that raised a lot of brows:
01[12:43] {@Threei} finish anti-terrorist operation succesfully in hours
01[12:44] {@Threei} good luck with that
01[12:47] {@Threei} meh C

01[14:15] {@Threei} finally... wakey wakey
[14:15] {dptl} lol
[14:18] {dino} tza stop .29 -.05
01[14:20] {@Threei} 1:2 P
[14:21] {nathan} nice P
[14:22] {dptl} lol..sounds funny
[14:22] {nathan} :-)
01[14:22] {@Threei} pk... let's try this: "Nice 3.14"
01[14:22] {@Threei} still funny?
[14:22] {dptl} better..lol
01[14:37] {@Threei} 1:3 3.14
[14:37] {dptl} yep
[14:37] {Alexs} you should keep it to 1:3.14
01[14:37] {@Threei} too sofisticated math
01[14:37] {@Threei} I am a simple man
[14:40] {Alexs} btw have you seen "life of pi" nice movie
01[14:41] {@Threei} no...
01[14:42] {@Threei} I need to see how Jack Bauer saves the world first
[14:43] {Alexs} no, really "life of pi" is very good
[14:47] {dino} invention of lying was funny
[14:47] {RonS} best thing is the cinema photography...interesting story...bit over the top
[14:50] {nathan} dino watch TEVA spike
[14:51] {dino} patent ruling
[14:52] {Alexs} AIG short .80?

01[14:58] {@Threei} Kyiv sends protest note to Russia due to border trespass by armed people
01[14:58] {@Threei} Russia: why would we stop now?
[14:59] {Alexs} why Ukraine let them get in?
01[14:59] {@Threei} they didn't go through the checkpoints
01[14:59] {@Threei} it's a very porous border
01[15:00] {@Threei} dozens of side roads
[15:00] {cosmo} maybe they already live there?
[15:00] {dino} sabr drop
[15:01] {dino} l .29
[15:01] {dptl} test
[15:01] {Alexs} they should strengthen border in that case
01[15:01] {@Threei} easier said than done
01[15:02] {@Threei} look at the map
[15:02] {RonS} dino, what dollar? lol
[15:02] {Alexs} yes but you think it's easier to fight them inside the country?
[15:02] {dino} 17
01[15:02] {@Threei} I don't think there is any obvious option
01[15:03] {@Threei} endless rural space, largely controlled by rebels
[15:03] {Alexs} so then just give up...
01[15:04] {@Threei} to send that many troops to the border means essentially to fight your way through
01[15:04] {@Threei} all the eorads go through the towns controlled by rebels
01[15:04] {@Threei} no one says give up
01[15:04] {@Threei} I a saying there is no easy obvious solution
01[15:04] {@Threei} it's a real war, in towns and cities with civil population
01[15:05] {@Threei} where rebels shoot from the densely populated areas
01[15:06] {@Threei} where tyey get to more or less open areas, they suffer heavy casualtes, like in airport
01[15:06] {@Threei} but fir the most part they dont
[15:07] {dptl} test
[15:08] {dptl} am i here?
06[15:08] * @Threei slaps dptl around a bit with a large "TEST THIS!" banner
[15:08] {dptl} lol...ok i am here :)
[15:09] {dptl} just installed mirc on other comp
01[15:09] {@Threei} "I am slapped therefore I am"
[15:09] {dptl} thats right :)
[15:10] {Alexs} I think Poroshenko knows easy solution when he promise to finish it quickly
[15:11] {dptl} sounds scary
01[15:13] {@Threei} we will see...
01[15:13] {@Threei} I know what I'd do if I were him
[15:13] {Alexs} he needs to show strength or he will lose the power very soon
[15:14] {Alexs} no other way
01[15:14] {@Threei} yes... and more than that,
01[15:14] {@Threei} do it quickly, do it decisively and call Putin's bluff
01[15:14] {@Threei} now that Putin demonstrated that he doesn't want to invade, attack rebels
01[15:15] {@Threei} and put him in the corner: invade if you want. get guerilla war
01[15:15] {@Threei} or leave them die and lose credibility\
01[15:15] {@Threei} 1:1 IWM
01[15:15] {@Threei} if you let this drag out, he will maintain this instabilty forever
[15:16] {dino} nat, teva was good idea
01[15:17] {@Threei} main problem though is, you can't attack them with regular troops
[15:17] {nathan} did u jump?
[15:17] {dino} no, over-thought it
[15:17] {dino} thinking the enemy
[15:17] {nathan} yup
[15:19] {dptl} see ya tomorrow all
[15:19] {nathan} c u
[15:20] {dino} sabr stop -.23
[15:22] {dino} afternoons are worthless lately
[15:22] {Alexs} what can prevent Poroshenko's play is his business, he can lose his money finally
[15:23] {nathan} we'll take care gents! see you tomorrow
[15:23] {nathan} have a good night
