[09:05] {RonS} hello
01[09:05] {@Threei} ron :)
01[09:09] {@Threei} sheesh, Massachusets
01[09:09] {@Threei} "these piles of snow are actually cars"
[09:11] {cosmo} what piles?
01[09:12] {@Threei} TV corr was pointing at them
[09:12] {cosmo} ?
01[09:12] {@Threei} ?
[09:12] {cosmo} TC who?
01[09:13] {@Threei} TV
01[09:13] {@Threei} correspondent
[09:13] {cosmo} ah
[09:13] {cosmo} I remember TV
01[09:18] {@Threei} nemo poked up from under snow
[09:18] {nemo} this is ridiculous
[09:19] {nemo} it's been snowing since Saturday
01[09:19] {@Threei} memories of winnipeg...
[09:19] {cosmo} get in your car and hide there
[09:19] {cosmo} :)
06[09:21] * nemo adds cosmo to the list
[09:21] {dptl} gm
[09:21] {nemo} we have more snow coming Thursday, and we're lining up for another snowstorm Sunday
01[09:22] {@Threei} dp :)
[09:23] {cosmo} Climate change is now a done deal it seems
01[09:23] {@Threei} when wasn't it
[09:23] {nemo} yeah, climates change, what's new
[09:23] {cosmo} during the campaign to stop it
[09:24] {RonS} guess so, it's never snowed in the northeast before
[09:24] {nemo} Last week, there was a report that volcanic activity under the oceans play a major role in climate change
[09:24] {nemo} Yeah, still not as bad as 78
[09:24] {cosmo} yes nemo
[09:24] {cosmo} always has
01[09:24] {@Threei} we must be at fault too
01[09:25] {@Threei} I mean, it's our activity that triggers volcanoes
[09:25] {cosmo} we were made to forget that it was never our fault
[09:25] {nemo} ?
[09:26] {cosmo} undersea volcanoes
[09:26] {cosmo} making 1000 times more CO2 than we do
[09:26] {nemo} and all those farting animals
[09:27] {cosmo} and currently unaccounted for by IPCC
[09:27] {nemo} methane up the wazoo
[09:27] {nemo} there are so many things there models don't account for. Sheesh, we have had three of the coldest years in the Northeast on record, including the summers
[09:28] {cosmo} we need all the CO2 we can make to help stave of the advancing ice sheets...sheesh
[09:28] {jfjf64} gm all

[11:35] {nemo} jf if you think spy and appl will come in then take it
01[11:36] {@Threei} The euro tested 10-day lows earlier this morning as the Greek government hardened its positions over the weekend. Greek Prime Minister Tsiparas again rejected an extension of the bailout and reiterated his intension to seek an unspecified "bridge program" from Europe even as he continues rolling back austerity.
01[11:37] {@Threei} There is more and more talk about the real possibility that Greece will be forced out of the Eurozone as German officials pledge that Athens will not get any more EU funds. Greece's finance minister said the Euro zone could collapse "like a house of cards" if Athens were forced out. EUR/USD hit 1.1270 earlier this morning before bouncing up to 1.1336.

[13:33] {jfjf64} nice
[13:34] {nemo} question is do we get DKTK'd before it runs
[13:35] {jfjf64} 80 break sd get nother push
[13:35] {nemo} could move the stop to .60
[13:35] {jfjf64} vwap holdin us up

[13:48] {jfjf64} looks down
[13:48] {jfjf64} im hopeing down
[13:49] {jfjf64} bad to hope
[13:49] {nemo} to me it's indeterminate
[13:49] {nemo} that was my mistake on Friday
[13:49] {nemo} and then I missed the next good entry
[13:49] {jfjf64} what
[13:50] {jfjf64} hope
[13:50] {nemo} no, I didn't take into consideration aapl on my vxx entry Friday
[13:51] {jfjf64} what aaple screw the longs
[13:52] {nemo} aapl is the #1 weighted stock in the Qs, S&P 500 Rut 1000, the market will go, especially on a range day like this, the way aapl goes
[13:53] {nemo} the only other thing you really need to watch then are the futures on the S&P if they begin to pull strongly in a direction, then the indexes will generally go that way
[13:54] {nemo} imo...that is
[13:57] {jfjf64} done
[13:58] {jfjf64} couple more them be ok
