[12:03] {jfjf64} Great mornin
01[12:03] {@Threei}  The Greek Finance Ministry released a statement around 10:30ET that it had ordered the payment to go through, however yields remain very elevated, with the 10-year UST up 6.5 basis points to 2.213% and the 10-year bund up 4.8 basis points to 0.593%. Nobody really expects a deal at the Eurogroup today and more people are worrying about a possible Greek default
[12:04] {dino} you're in the zone this spring jf, good job. keep it going.
01[12:04] {@Threei}  I worry about Greek yogurt more than default
[12:04] {jfjf64} Ty
[12:04] {jfjf64} Hate yougurt
01[12:05] {@Threei}  see? real worry
[12:05] {jfjf64} Na jokin
01[12:05] {@Threei}  I bet you don't hate default
[12:05] {jfjf64} Like alot
01[12:05] {@Threei}  Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Russian President Putin on Tuesday in Sochi, the first direct talks of this kind since the crises in Ukraine and Iraq blew up a year and a half ago. Among other things, there were reports that Kerry would raise the possibility of US military assistance for Ukraine at the meeting.

01[12:47] {@Threei} Long Setup:  VXX  .85 break
01[12:47] {@Threei}  If holds  .77
[13:02] {drewj} Vad can you take a look at DAL?
01[13:03] {@Threei}  looks breakish
01[13:03] {@Threei}  not very suitable time of day for this kind of trades though
01[13:03] {@Threei}  I'd let it break and wait for a rinse to enter
[13:05] {drewj} I was wondering about the volume pattern from about 12 PM on.
[13:06] {drewj} It gets a lot heavier and the price flattens out.
[13:06] {drewj} How should I inturpret that?
01[13:06] {@Threei}  no specific significance to it other than time of the day
[13:06] {nemo} no-man's-land
[13:07] {drewj} So breakouts are less reliable during lunch?
01[13:08] {@Threei}  right
[13:08] {nemo} everything is less reliable at lunch
[13:08] {drewj} ok
01[13:08] {@Threei}  often result in rinse
[13:08] {drewj} is that because of lower volume?
[13:08] {nemo} yes, general inactivity
01[13:09] {@Threei}  and because of lesser commitment to action
[13:15] {drewj} thanks guys
[13:17] {nemo} X
[13:18] {nemo} look at X drew, see the breakout fakeout?
[13:18] {nemo} now it's going
[13:19] {drewj} you talking about that little pullback?
[13:20] {nemo} yep
[13:20] {drewj} so the breakouts won't be as direct...
[13:20] {drewj} during lunch
[13:23] {jfjf64} Anything go on
01[13:25] {@Threei}  not really
01[13:25] {@Threei}  except nice DAL breakout
[13:26] {jfjf64} See that
[13:30] {jfjf64} Cat keeps grinding up
[13:43] {jfjf64} Died out
01[13:43] {@Threei}  be back in 40
[13:43] {drewj} ok
[13:43] {jfjf64} Me too oal
[13:43] {jfjf64} Pal
[13:44] {jfjf64} Hold the fort down drew
[13:45] {drewj} Will do JF
[13:45] {drewj} enjoy
[13:50] {dino} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[13:51] {nemo} we're getting into the 4 day weekend time of year
[13:51] {dino} yeah, i understand. just makes it hard to stay alert
[13:53] {drewj} did you do lift wieghts today dino?
[13:53] {drewj} did you lift
[13:54] {dino} not yet, usually around 3:15
[13:55] {dino} 3 mile dog walk at 7:00 am
[13:55] {nemo} what? you run around on all fours?
[13:55] {drewj} :0
[13:55] {drewj} :)
[13:56] {dino} lol, no, but that would be one hell of a workout
[13:56] {nemo} absolutely, good for your back
[13:57] {nemo} ended up taking a 14 mile walk the other day, that was interesting...used to run that in my youth
[13:57] {dino} my lower back hurts when i jog, so down to walking. usually get 15 miles in a week
[13:58] {nemo} probably planting your heel instead of shortening your stride
[13:58] {dino} or just getting old, turned 50 this past march
[13:59] {nemo} shorten your stride so you land a little flatter...creates more spring, uses more of the quadriceps and doesn't drive the femur up into the sacroiliac
[14:00] {nemo} less stress on the lower spine
[14:00] {dino} i'll try it in short bursts
[14:01] {nemo} frankly Dino, I gave up running when I was 30 because of the fear of repetitive motion injury...all I do is Qi Quong now
[14:02] {nemo} no running, no heavy weights
[14:02] {nemo} I see my old buddies from my lifting days...compressed disks, bum shoulders....sheesh
[14:02] {jfjf64} Dal might get pop here
[14:04] {dino} i can relate on the shoulder. was benching 270 lbs, set of 6 last november. something happened to right shoulder, now i get to 230s and pain sets in. easing back into the benching
[14:04] {jfjf64} Sting bench dino
[14:04] {nemo} may I make a recommendation?  get away from the long bar and use only dumbells
[14:05] {dino} my son says do lighter weights/more reps. but my mind wants heavy sets
[14:05] {jfjf64} Strong
[14:05] {jfjf64} Why dumbel
[14:05] {dino} got 300 lbs up for one rep, summer 2014 at the high school weight room w/sons friends
[14:06] {jfjf64} 225 for 10
[14:06] {dino} but this 230-240 stuff bums me out
[14:06] {dino} 225 for 10 is good jf
[14:06] {jfjf64} That was always my goal
[14:06] {nemo} the longbar creates isolation and actually causes stress on peripheral muscles because of the leverage you develop using both hands.  Dumbells require more coordination with a greater area of the body distributing the stress over a further area
[14:07] {dino} i use dumbells on the incline
[14:07] {jfjf64} 225 for 10 in shape was told that when in 20s
[14:07] {nemo} use them on everything
[14:07] {dino} cmcm spike
[14:08] {jfjf64} Always was my goal dino
[14:08] {jfjf64} Have to start with dumbbels
[14:08] {dino} how old are you guys?
[14:08] {nemo} 54
[14:08] {jfjf64} 50
[14:09] {jfjf64} 51 in 3 weeks

[14:09] {nemo} yeah, but I've got the mileage of a 90 year old
