[11:07] {kikesan} definitively, this day is a crazy day!!
[11:07] {nemo} no
01[11:07] {Threei}  1:1
[11:08] {nemo} fall of 2008 was crazy
[11:08] {kikesan} y'r right
[11:09] {cosmo} wow silver...
01[11:09] {Threei}  gold too
01[11:10] {Threei}  world is not falling apart (again)
[11:10] {cosmo} deflation coming?
[11:10] {nemo} only if you're not buying housing fuel or food
01[11:11] {Threei}  compartmentalized, I think
01[11:11] {Threei}  pure safe haven plays are doomed
[11:11] {cosmo} hmm
[11:12] {cosmo} like Si?
[11:12] {nemo} I miss those Limit Down opens
[11:14] {nemo} guess I was right about aapl
01[11:15] {Threei}  gold is dead, silver is less dead, us dollar is king once again
[11:15] {cosmo} seems odd
01[11:15] {Threei}  why?
01[11:15] {Threei}  very sensible
[11:16] {cosmo} its being counterfitted
01[11:16] {Threei}  maybe not from zerohedgers point of view
01[11:16] {Threei}  so what?
01[11:16] {Threei}  currencies are relative
01[11:16] {Threei}  EU is half dead
01[11:16] {Threei}  Euro is stillborn
01[11:17] {Threei}  gold is useless as currency, and can be used as haven play for the disaster scenarion,
01[11:17] {Threei}  but disaster is staved off
01[11:17] {Threei}  meanwhile, world trade goes on,
01[11:17] {Threei}  world currency is needed,
01[11:17] {Threei}  got any alternative to USD?
[11:18] {cosmo} so 'bad' is not the 'worst', so it goes up
01[11:18] {Threei}  it's the skinniest girl in fatty camp, yes
[11:18] {RonS} lol
[11:18] {cosmo} yea... i like skinny
[11:20] {nemo} CAT for technical bounce

[11:22] {nemo} hate shorting in the hole though
[11:23] {nemo} always get screwed
[11:26] {nemo} missed CAT
01[11:27] {Threei}  from under .50 was perfect

01[11:37] {Threei}  sell 100%
01[11:38] {Threei}  just click when ready, it executes
01[11:38] {Threei}  if you do 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 routine, first two times elect 50%, last time 100
01[11:38] {Threei}  if it hits stop, hit 100%
01[11:39] {Threei}  it's a market order, so do it only on thick stocks

[11:45] {jfjf64} very hard to trade on
01[11:45] {Threei}  why do you need to scroll? just zoom in and out
01[11:46] {Threei}  with mouse wheel
