01[11:32] {@Threei} some things work nicely
[11:41] {RonS} Oil Inventories Hit Highest Level In 80 Years, Prices Fall Further http://stks.co/a1ZOC
01[11:41] {@Threei} kind of self-sustaining pattern, isn't it
01[11:42] {@Threei} low price, easier to get larger inventory
01[11:42] {@Threei} larger inventory pushes price down even more
01[11:42] {@Threei} and that'll continue until production starts really dropping off

01[11:52] {@Threei} Invalidated
[11:52] {cosmo} what controls oil production?
[11:53] {cosmo} I'd say its the Earth itself.
01[11:54] {@Threei} I mean oil producers that have costs and must balance them against prices
01[11:55] {@Threei} as price drops, those who have higher cost of production will start falling off
01[11:55] {@Threei} can lower cost producers satisfy the demand while prices stay low?
01[11:55] {@Threei} that will determine the price ceiling
[11:56] {cosmo} good riddance to fracking
01[11:56] {@Threei} rather: thank you fracking for establishing that ceiling
01[11:57] {@Threei} prices will stay under that limit which makes fracking viable again
01[11:57] {@Threei} how is it not great?
[11:57] {RonS} ya, after 40 years of fracking it is dead...right...
01[11:58] {@Threei} well, the part of it that is done at higher costs, will die off
01[11:58] {@Threei} costs vary greatly between regions
[11:58] {cosmo} 90% of the stuff released by the process is "fugitive"; it misses the pipe and goes into the air and groundwater, etc.
[11:59] {cosmo} and is also totally unaccounted for as a greenhouse gas

[12:09] {dino} that evil tech is saving people lots of $$
[12:12] {dino} mbly drop
01[12:13] {@Threei} but that's evil in and of itself... according to do-gooders, fuel must be exp[ensive to discourage its use :)
01[12:13] {@Threei} 1:2
[12:14] {dino} ok, then how about that evil tech out usa back on top
01[12:15] {@Threei} that's evil too... we need to be cut down to size
[12:15] {dino} as i tell my kids, just because somebody says it's true does not make it true
[12:16] {nemo} yeah, you used to tell them Santa was real
01[12:16] {@Threei} unless it's left who says that... then it's true just because they said it
01[12:16] {@Threei} because they are moral
[12:17] {dino} if keeping people down is considered moral
01[12:17] {@Threei} 1:3
[12:17] {cosmo} evil = unconscionably messy = polluting
01[12:18] {@Threei} day becomes brighter

01[12:27] {@Threei} most likely
01[13:07] {@Threei} Greek banks are getting hammered again today, with the top four banks down 25% a piece, following two days of massive losses. The Athens stock exchange is down nearly 7%.
01[13:07] {@Threei} The new coalition government and its European opponents have begun preliminary maneuvers ahead of what will surely be vicious negotiations to restructure the Greek bailout deal. Fears of a run on Greek banks are in the air.
[13:07] {nemo} and the dax is up again almost 1%
01[13:12] {@Threei} I am sure bets are made that thnis or that way but EU will placate Greece
[13:23] {dptl} fed at 2pm?
[13:24] {dino} eu will extend the loans greatly
01[13:31] {@Threei} yes dp
[13:31] {dptl} ty
01[13:35] {@Threei} this is huge problem for EU
01[13:35] {@Threei} start loosening loan conditions, there arer more countries that will immediately demand the same

01[15:43] {@Threei} after VXX entry should have just fainted, and come out of it just about now
[15:43] {nemo} or drank yourself unconscious
01[15:44] {@Threei} $2.20 ago
[15:44] {nemo} I've always wondered why you just don't leave a little on
01[15:45] {@Threei} because it hit trailing stop?
01[15:45] {@Threei} how often di they go like this, in almost straight line, vs reverse?
[15:45] {dino} cybr gap around 33.80
[15:45] {nemo} it's Greece
[15:46] {dino} sure its not greek
[15:47] {nemo} it's a big part...they are now a black hole in the EU model
[15:47] {dino} this greece thing doesn't really happen until march
[15:47] {nemo} when actually is dawn and sunset dino?
[15:48] {nemo} uncertainty is the bane of markets
[15:48] {dino} ??? sure, but the decision is in march from what i can find
[15:48] {nemo} is this a canary in the coal mine or just a drunk to kick out the door
[15:48] {nemo} no, decision was the elections
[15:49] {nemo} you have the far left and right in charge...you think there will be middle of the road compromise?
[15:49] {dino} no, he's already backpeddeling. prior to election he said default, now aking for lengthening of payoff timetable
01[15:49] {@Threei} thanks guys, finishing for the day
[15:49] {dino} take care 3i
01[15:49] {@Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[15:50] {nemo} That's what we read...and if that happens then comes Spain, Portugal, Italy...etc
[15:50] {nemo} black hole of uncertainty in Europe has raised it's ugly head...volatility baby....it's back!
[15:50] {dino} sure nemo, but gut says lengthening does not hurt them that much, think brady bonds
[15:50] {dino} default and exit is the fear
[15:51] {nemo} we're headed into the fog of this Keynesian experiment, there be dragons ahead
[15:51] {nemo} it'
[15:51] {nemo} you have currency wars now
[15:51] {dino} ironically, if i were the greels, default/exit are what i woud recommend, within a year things would get better
[15:52] {dino} greeks
[15:52] {dino} would, sheesh
[15:52] {nemo} probably, then come the Italians, Spaniards, and Portugese
[15:52] {nemo} the Euro structure is an abortion
[15:52] {dino} sure, one defaults and euro is dead
[15:52] {nemo} right, so then a vacuum ensues...
[15:53] {nemo} Financial dramamine required
[15:53] {dino} big question is "if a default occurs", still not sure it happens. debt extensions yes.
[15:53] {nemo} What do you do with trillons in Euro denominated bonds?
[15:53] {nemo} that's right, uncertainty
[15:53] {nemo} exactly my point
[15:54] {dino} what do you do? you get rid of them now
[15:54] {nemo} I have no idea all we know is uncertainty creates volatility
[15:54] {nemo} you go to what you know
[15:55] {nemo} what currencies can you be sure of?
[15:55] {dino} hearing rumors canadian housing market was propped up by oil, could be trouble up there
[15:55] {nemo} absolutely
[15:56] {dino} currencies, have to go the usd. that and softening of others currencies should keep rate increase at bay
01[15:56] {@Threei} not that simple
01[15:56] {@Threei} it's true for Alberta
[15:56] {nemo} two good things about the USD...it's reserve, and it's diversified as to underpinning value
01[15:56] {@Threei} other provinces are more likely to benefit from oil drop
[15:56] {nemo} CAD is resource based
[15:57] {dino} yes, not just oil pain, copper, iron, etc
01[15:57] {@Threei} re market is surely heated here but how much of that is OVERheated is very diffficult to say
01[15:57] {@Threei} there was never subprime lending here
[15:57] {nemo} well, you'll know next GDP report with $45 oil
01[15:58] {@Threei} sure but there is no direct connection to RE
[15:58] {dino} well, thats all for me, gn guys
01[15:58] {@Threei} plenty of industries were suppressed by high oil and high CDN
01[15:58] {@Threei} they are raising exports now
01[15:58] {@Threei} and hiring
