01[12:07] {@Threei} (UR) President Obama: At least one US citizen died in MH17 crash, evidence indicates plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from an area controlled by Russia-backed separatists - We know that these separatists have received a steady flow of support from Russia - This was an "outrage of unspeakable proportions" - There must be an immediate ceasfire in Ukraine - Russia continues to support separatists and has not used its influence to help stop the violence - Would be too soon to assume the 'intentions' of those who fired the missile - US has the capacity to increase sanctions against Russa and is ready to do so, there is no military role for the US in Ukraine - Israel has the right to defend itself, but concerned about risk of escalation in Gaza conflict

[13:11] {nemo} not for a Friday
[13:11] {nemo} when there is geopolitical tensions
[13:11] {nemo} are
01[13:11] {@Threei} is... it's all ope thing
01[13:11] {@Threei} one
[13:17] {nemo} should get to .30ish
[13:19] {nemo} buy under 28?
01[13:19] {@Threei} I'd prefer closer to .90
01[13:20] {@Threei} too high risk of a rinse otherwise

[13:31] {nemo} how's the shoulder?
[13:31] {dino} messing w/the trading gods
01[13:31] {@Threei} :)
[13:31] {nemo} may I recommend an overdose of morphine?
01[13:31] {@Threei} YES!!
01[13:31] {@Threei} please
[13:31] {nemo} it'll kill my pain

[13:32] {nemo} that's the point
01[13:33] {@Threei} it wasn't until I got a kidney stone that I had a chance to appreciate just how far modern painkillers go... I could spend the rest of my life in that state, lol
01[13:36] {@Threei} so, what do you call it when you know for sure, see it with your own eyes, can touch it - that something happened, and are being told right in your face that it didn't?

01[13:40] {@Threei} english translation of the recprding I listened to yesterday appeared
01[13:40] {@Threei} http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/18/world/europe/ukraine-mh17-intercepted-audio/index.html?eref=edition

[14:21] {nemo} yeah, well one theory deserves another
[14:22] {nemo} bull market
[14:28] {nemo} we're less than a buck from all time spy highs
[14:29] {dino} they are going to take this market to 20k before this bull dies

01[15:21] {@Threei} although with all the tensions all over the world, I weouldn't want to carry any positions over the weekend
01[15:21] {@Threei} anything's possible
[15:21] {nemo} they're hanging this on that plane, nothing else out of the ordinary going on
01[15:22] {@Threei} Israel
01[15:22] {@Threei} ISIS
[15:22] {nemo} that's not new
[15:22] {dino} problem is, most of the moves lately are gaps
[15:22] {nemo} Middle East has always been a cesspool
