June 3 2013

Morning started well but the turned a bot sour as market resumed our least favorable environment, slow climb. A few rinses too many, then a few good trades including 1:3er trimmed the loss but still ended in red. 

(Apologies for the garbled log, not sure what gives)

01[12:10] <&Threei}  ?
[12:10]
[12:11]
01[12:11] <&Threei}  hold on, so I follow:
01[12:11] <&Threei}  the price of first entry?
01[12:11] <&Threei}  and time
[12:11]
[12:12]
[12:12]
[12:12]
[12:12]
[12:12]
[12:12]
[12:12]
01[12:13] <&Threei}  OK, one modification:
01[12:13] <&Threei}  perfect way to play this kind is to buy recross of a stop level
01[12:13] <&Threei}  as in:
01[12:13] <&Threei}  .50 entry would have been stopped under .40,
[12:13]
01[12:13] <&Threei}  rinse and run of the stops leads to an exit rush,
01[12:14] <&Threei}  usually it asppears ina form of a tail if things happen within 1 min,
01[12:14] <&Threei}  and if .30 is holding, then .40 recross is where you want to be in
[12:14]
01[12:14] <&Threei}  This way you have:
01[12:14] <&Threei}  .30 as your new stop, under the low of the tail,
01[12:15] <&Threei}  .50, previous trigger as a first partial, which puts you in a very safe territory,
01[12:15] <&Threei}  rush of new buyers which is likelyto take you to 1:2 for you whivch is 1:1 for them
[12:15]
[12:15]
[12:16]
01[12:16] <&Threei}  and one more thing it gives you:
01[12:16] <&Threei}  moral satisfaction of being on a smart money side, as you use rinseds tops instead of being rinsed
01[12:16] <&Threei}  well, this is a mix
01[12:16] <&Threei}  pure aggressive is buying before the break
01[12:17] <&Threei}  conservative is buying on a pullback to a break level
01[12:17] <&Threei}  this is something else, that has some traits of both
[12:17]
01[12:17] <&Threei}  I call it DKTK setip
01[12:17] <&Threei}  Don't Kid The Kidder\
[12:18]
[12:18]
01[12:18] <&Threei}  it's a beaty is all regards but one:
01[12:18] <&Threei}  you never know in advance when it's time to switch to it, you come to it only after seeing a few rinses

[12:42]
01[12:42] <&Threei}  OK... writing that down
[12:43]

[12:47]
01[12:47] <&Threei}  that I'd dare, pure break - not so much
[12:47]
01[12:48] <&Threei}  yup
01[12:48] <&Threei}  sharp drop toward .40 would be ideal
[12:48]

[13:01]
[13:01]
[13:02]
01[13:02] <&Threei}  sp why not buy .30 break on a rinse?

[13:08]
01[13:09] <&Threei}  if you can't name setup, it's not there. Don't trade on these generalities
01[13:09] <&Threei}  what you list is criteria for looking at it as a candidate

Nemo's Findings week of 6/02/2013

(Course on chart pattern recognition is available now: http://www.realitytrader.com/111trades.html  

 And the answer is.....CORRECTION!!!

Here's the SPY:



As you can see, we are fast approaching the:

  • 3,4% pullback from the high
  • 38.2 retrace of the swing low from mid-April.  
  • The 50% retrace of this swing and the 23.6 retrace of the November low are between 161-161.25.  
  • Of course we are coming into possible trend lines before we get there.
  • This is basically a rehash of last weeks findings with the additional 4 days of action confirming.  You can review here:  http://bit.ly/11gONMF
  • One additional tidbit...the 50 day SMA has  just begun to move into that gap area, so as it rises it should provide additional support

Having said that, let's take a look at the XLF:




Here are As we can see, the chart is similar to SPY but doesn't look nearly as ominous, having pulled in2.5%.  Unless this comes in it might be hard for SPY to get much further.  Not quite time to throw the women and children overboard.

Then of course, there is the Russell:



Again, not nearly as ominous as the SPY... pulled in a whole 2.3%

And here's Buffett's favorite indicator...well his is rail specific, but you get my drift:



As you can see, it's really just coming into its first major support level.

However this causes me concern:





And have a look at this:  http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GJGB10:IND/chart
As you can see, Japan's government bond interest rate is on the rise.  Out of control yet?  No.  Concerning, yes.

Mr. Ritholz provided a nice economic summary here:  http://bit.ly/18HMHKv

Dear Mr. Abe may be committing economic seppuku.  Since his "all in" for QE, the yields (ie: interest rates) have risen rather sharply on government bonds, and as you can see, the Japan fund has almost given up 50% of it's run since November.  If the yields continue to rise, this could get ugly rather quick.  Don't forget, we are in a grand experiment.  Nobody knows how this is going to conclude.

In general, economically, the news around the world has been getting worse

Anyway, the week that was:





As I said, it ain't that bad yet, but we could be concerned about Friday's sell off into the close.  By the way, they were buying the VXX after the close Big Time!  So, insurance is being bought.   Selling off like that gives everybody the weekend to get scared.  So, you'll have the Asian and European open before Monday-which will either put a brake to this, or accelerate the avalanche...come to think about it, you might want to get the family's life preservers out and ready.

Anyway, the week that is:








Barrons Saturday summary

Barrons Saturday summary: positive on INTC and CWGL; cautious on some tech firms on the impact of stock-based compensation; cautious on solar sector

- Cover Story: America is increasingly growing accustomed to the idea of legalized marijuana, with proponents saying its a matter of basic personal freedom, noting legalization would hurt drug lords, help cash-strapped states, and ease burdens on police and prisons, though Congress still needs convincing.

- Features:
 1) Cautious on FB, GOOG, AMZN, CRM, LNKD, VMW, ULTI, CNQR, BRCM: Among companies whose price/earnings ratios are higher than apparent because Wall Street estimates generally leave out the often very significant cost of stock-based compensation, in contrast to more conservative approach at tech companies such as MSFT, AAPL, and INTC;
2) Positive on INTC: Stock price could double in five years as it grabs more market share in tablet and smartphone chips; also boasts a healthy dividend yield;
3) Positive on CST, IR, HAWK: Companies are good options for those investing in spin-offs, which tend to outperform the broad market for up to three years, though investors shouldn't ignore parent stocks;
4) Positive on CWGL: Company, spun off from LUK, is the only sizable, U.S.-listed winemaker focused on the high end market, shares look appealing, though it is asset-rich and earnings-poor and will require investor patience.

Small Caps: Positive on QLTY: Shares, down based on problems from acquisition spree, could rally another 30% in the next year, partly aided by rising chemicals shipments.

- Tech Trader: Cautious on RSOL, SCTY, FSLR, SPWR: There is optimism in solar sector, primarily based on changed expectations and reduced forecasts as subsidies dry up, but solar shares aren't cheap for now, meaning investors shouldn't rush in; Kleiner Perkins partner Mary Meeker suggests public Internet companies try to be like LNKD by growing their user base, beating revenue expectations, and having an upside to Ebitda.

- Trader: On an equal-weighted base, cyclical stocks such as industrials, materials, energy, and technology have been outperforming defensive sectors such as healthcare, consumer staples, utilities, and telecom since later April, a sign economy may be growing stronger; Positive on A, DTV, WY: Investing in stocks with upward earnings revisions can be a successful strategy according to Will Geisdorf of NDR; Credit information embedded in corporate bond prices provides very valuable information for stock investors, says Doug Ramsay of the Leuthold Group; Positive on GM: Automaker is highly leveraged to the fastest-growing markets in the world, has net operating loss credits that will shield it from tax payments until 2018, a strong balance sheet, and a popular new truck.

- Follow-Up: Positive on GOOG: Growth may have slowed and more rivals entered the field, but though shares arent cheap, the stock should be in most portfolios, and longer-term investors might look to buy whenever the stock pulls back; Negative on IHG: Shares are approaching price targets, and positive qualities are already priced in.

- Mutual Funds: Interview with Joseph Foster, Portfolio Manager, Van Eck International Investors Gold (top ten holdings: GOLD, New Gold, Goldcorp, Silver Wheaton, Eldorado Gold, gold bullion, RGLD, Osisko Mining, Tahoe Resources, Yamana Gold); Interview with Marc Faber, Publisher, Gloom Boom & Doom Report and Director, Marc Faber Ltd. (Top holdings: DCM, Vietnam Dairy Products, Military Commercial Bank, SIA Engineering, Kingsman Creatives, China Mengniu Dairy, NVS, GDF Suez, Veolla Environnement, Iberdrola, Engergias de Portugal, NEM, CVX, TOT, Kazkommertsbank, Euphrates Iraq Fund, India Capital Fund).

- European Trader: Positive on Lanxess (LXS.DE): German specialty chemicals manufacturer should rediscover its winning formula in the next 12 months and could see 20% upside.

- Asian Trader: Investors should be in China because it is a commodity-intensive economy and the worlds largest importer and consumer of raw materials, says Sean Darby of Jefferies; Jiong Shao of Macquarie likes Brilliance China, China Gas, and China Longyuan Power.

- Emerging Markets: Weaker currencies in emerging markets could be good news for their economies but bad news for U.S. investors because currency depreciation will eat up bond yields, meaning investors should focus on bond funds that can profit in such as environment (Positive on HTRAX).

- Commodities: China expected to import 34% less cotton next year, and countrys use of fiber should be flat, weighing on future prices.

- Streetwise: Positive on SEAS, SIX: Shares of both amusement park companies are up, and given dwindling number of them and expense to build new ones, boost is understandable; some investors also think SEAS could eventually be converted to a REIT.

- CEO Spotlight: WM chief David Steiner, who has helped rebrand company and distance it from past problems.

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Selling in May and heading away?



- The DJIA saw its sixth straight month of positive gains in May and the S&P500 grew for a seventh straight month, its longest winning streak since 2009. However the continued surge in markets occurred in the first half of the month, with the latter two weeks seeing declines in equity indices. The Nikkei225 had another volatile week, and fell more than 5% on Thursday as jittery investors dumped shares on the back of a stronger yen, just a week after a 7.3% dive that comprised steepest single-session decline since the tsunami two years ago. Japan's big gambit and Fed tapering continue to loom large over markets, and another round of decent US data underlined US economic strength. The S&P/Case Shiller report showed that home prices jumped y/y by the highest amount in eight years in March and the May Chicago PMI index saw its strongest reading in more than a year. Note however that the second reading of Q1 GDP revised the headline figure down to +2.4% from +2.5%, reflecting downward adjustments to inventories and government spending, and next week's May jobs reading will trump all. Tonight the China May manufacturing PMI report may enter contraction, as was the HSBC flash May manufacturing PMI report earlier this week. For the week, the DJIA fell 1.2%, the S&P500 1.1% and Nasdaq 0.1%.

- Besides the wild moves in the Nikkei, the yen did not manage to weaken further this week. After trading as high as 103 last week, USD/JPY crept lower and closed out the week well into the 100 handle. The pair saw a brief reach toward 102 midweek, but strengthening trend in the yen was the rule. Yields on the 10-year JGB peaked around 0.965%, near a 13-month high of 1 percent seen last week. Yields came off, but it left investors wondering how the BoJ will keep down bond yields while simultaneously driving inflation higher. Note there was some progress on the inflation front, as the May Tokyo CPI data saw its first positive increase since June 2011.

- Talk about the long-heralded rotation out of fixed income gained traction this week as US treasuries sold off and yields spiked higher. Early in the week the 10-year yield broke out of the range seen over the last eight months, trading above 2.1%. Late on Tuesday, yields pushed out to 13-month highs with the benchmark 10-year yield trading as high as 2.235% and yield on the 30-year bond rising as high as 3.280%. The gain over the course of trading on Tuesday was the biggest one-session increase since late 2011.

- Emerging markets are taking a beating from rising bond yields, the strong dollar and the wind-down of the commodity cycle. Traders are watching trade in the MXN, BRL and ZAR as the talk of tighter Fed policy begins to draw funds away from the strongest emerging markets. Emerging market equity funds this week saw their largest weekly outflows - $2.9 billion or 0.3% of AUM - in 18 months, and emerging market debt funds saw their first weekly outflows in a year.

- OPEC agreed to maintain its 30M bpd production quota at its conference in Vienna today. The organization confirmed that it has no official price target for crude and reiterated that it was closely watching market action. OPEC also said it would expand capacity to combat volatility and study whether shale oil is sustainable over the long term.

- The media fixated on the largest bid by a Chinese firm for a US company to date: ag giant Shuanghui International reached an agreement to acquire pork producer Smithfield Foods for $4.7 billion in cash. The deal is sure to be highly controversial: Shuanghui has plenty of ties to the Chinese government and the deal faces review by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS). Investors should recall the Nexen deal in Canada that played out with a great deal of drama over the course of last year, although CNOOC managed to pull it off in the end. In other deal news, Berkshire Hathaway reached a deal to acquire Nevada utility NV Energy for $10 billion in cash.

- The euro traded in a broad range this week but closed out only slightly higher at 1.2970 versus the dollar than where it came into the week, around 1.2920. EUR/USD suffered a downdraft on Tuesday from risk appetite, but the Japan pension news and a very positive eurozone consumer confidence reading saw the pair move up to trade briefly around 1.3060 on Thursday. Two European employment reports offered yet another assessment of the perilous state of the continent's economy: the eurozone April unemployment rate rose to 12.2%, a record high, while German May unemployment levels rose slightly for the third consecutive month. There was recurring talk among traders that the ECB had reassessed the economic situation and would not likely do negative deposit rates at the upcoming meeting.

May 31 2013

That was a great day to finish a great week and a very good month. Very productive morning, half-empty afternoon and nicely active end of the day. Mostly usual suspects, plus TZA for a nice clean 1:3, called well in advance. Can we be so lucky to have whole June like this?

Session Time: Fri May 31 00:00:00 2013

[09:18] {Les} doesn't look good for bulls, but still in range/consolidation
01[09:19] {&Threei}  which is another reason for me to remain skeptical on PMa, as I firmly believe dollar is going to go up, a lot
01[09:19] {&Threei}  PMs
[09:19] {Les} yeh
[09:19] {Les} I remember Brandt's charts
[09:20] {Les} weekly time frame and big patterns that emerge before move occurs
[09:20] {Les} no such pattern here
[09:20] {Les} wish I could make the same judgement call intraday seeking out the top with tza
[09:21] {_epach} hi

01[09:25] {&Threei}  not every 10 cents price difference is setup
01[09:25] {&Threei}  I notice you tend to think in these terms
01[09:26] {&Threei}  buy .20 if hold .10 is not a setup per se
01[09:26] {&Threei}  chart configuration that offers meaninglful signposts at those prices is needed
01[09:26] {&Threei}  look at GDX right now
[09:27] {Les} hmmm

01[10:55] {&Threei}  stop of half a normal size doesn't desrve recignition of full size stop, "meh" seems more appropriate
[10:55] {nemo} I find it ironic that Les actually refers to someone else as "phillistine

[11:11] {Les} potential for iwm DT at 99 resistance
01[11:13] {&Threei}  Monsanto Co US updates status of investigation into GMO wheat found earlier this week; pursuing different avenues of investigation
01[11:14] {&Threei}  - Reminder: Earlier this week the USDA came across GMO based wheat from the company in Oregon; whereas no such GMO wheat is yet legal to be sold within the United states; USDA claims to be investigating the wheat seed origin after Monsanto claimed to have ended its field testing of GMO wheat (roundup ready) in 2005

01[12:46] {&Threei}  best thing ever
[12:46] {_fish_49} making me hungry
[12:46] {jdetente} ditto
01[12:47] {&Threei}  this kind of a cheap chrcoal smoker requires some simple modifications though to perform well
[12:47] {jdetente} what kind of wood do you smoke with?
01[12:47] {&Threei}  depends on a meat
[12:47] {jdetente} ribs for example
01[12:47] {&Threei}  pork and beef with hickory
01[12:47] {&Threei}  game with apple or cherry
[12:48] {jdetente} yum
01[12:48] {&Threei}  let me give you a website that will have the best of the best advice on everything smoking related

01[12:49] {&Threei}  everything is top notch
[12:50] {jdetente} Thanks Vad

[12:51] {_fish_49} Don't do grill marks on steak
[12:51] {_fish_49} its like freckles on Lindsay Lahan
[12:51] {_fish_49} lol
[12:51] {nemo} I can't wait until she commits suicide
[12:59] {_fish_49} Someone slap Les  he has not insulted anyone in the last hour
01[13:04] {&Threei}  lol
01[13:04] {&Threei}  guy has great sense of humor
[13:04] {nemo} his existence is an insult
[13:04] {_fish_49} agree
01[13:05] {&Threei}  "every time you boil ribs, terrorists win"
01[13:05] {&Threei}  that one phrase won my heart
[13:05] {_fish_49} Have time to look at TNA vad
[13:05] {nemo} Yeah, Les was long time military...gotta have a sense of humor
[13:05] {stevw} short GDX at .35
[13:05] {nemo} no, time to look at tna was when IWM was at vwap
01[13:05] {&Threei}  I am talking about amazingribs.com guy, nemo
01[13:05] {&Threei}  fish... right chart, wrong time of the day
[13:05] {nemo} oh, Les is a good sport too
[13:06] {_fish_49} gotch
01[13:06] {&Threei}  50/50
[13:06] {nemo} he actually enjoys the abuse
[13:06] {_fish_49} seen price and vol divergence thought it looked weird
01[13:06] {&Threei}  may work, may fail with same odds, too random
01[13:06] {&Threei}  that's the thing... volume drops off because of time of the day,
[13:06] {nemo} fish, I look at those specifically all day, not a good place
01[13:07] {&Threei}  and in absence of good volume setups have less follow-through
[13:07] {_fish_49} gotcha
[13:08] {nemo} during these listless times you wanna' buy support and sell resistance
[13:08] {nemo} breakouts is a whack-a-mole game in this environment and you ain't the hammer
[13:08] {_fish_49} range trade u mean
[13:08] {nemo} tomato tomaaato
[13:09] {nemo} or squash and zucchini
[13:09] {_fish_49} I was asking (Confirming that I understood)  lol
[13:09] {nemo} I understood, but I never make it easy
01[13:09] {&Threei}  {nemo} breakouts is a whack-a-mole game in this environment and you ain't the hammer
01[13:10] {&Threei}  must be the best description of this time of the day I've seen to date
[13:10] {_fish_49} Where is Les when I need him
[13:10] {nemo} I bitch slapped him enough, he's applying salve and vaseline
[13:10] {_fish_49} Les would say Breakouts are  not is
[13:10] {_fish_49} lol
[13:11] {nemo} He's probably off playing aikido in his pretty pajamas
[13:11] {nemo} and to think...he blames me for that
[13:11] {nemo} one could argue, iwm wants to come in here
[13:11] {_fish_49} lol  I enjoy his correction of the English language
[13:12] {_fish_49} my wife speaks English as a second language and I found myself talking like her lately
[13:12] {_fish_49} lol
[13:12] {nemo} first sign of being married too long

[13:13] {_fish_49} lol
[13:14] {_fish_49} yes  she lived here  longer than in Korea
[13:14] {_fish_49} I loved it when her English was limited  she never talked back
[13:14] {_fish_49} lol
[13:14] {nemo} your mistake was sponsoring citizenship, lost all your torque

[13:15] {_fish_49} today
[13:15] {_fish_49} oh  yea duel is what we do when she trys  to make me  eat Kimchee
[13:15] {nemo} Yeah, I can get Italian citizenship, but...
[13:16] {nemo} I love kimchee

[13:20] {_fish_49} I don't have that feed
[13:20] {nemo} freestockcharts.com
[13:21] {_fish_49} I have minimum feed until I start trading full time
[13:21] {nemo} freestockcharts.com
[13:21] {stevw} aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
[13:22] {Will49} you OK stev?
[13:22] {nemo} I'm afraid to ask
[13:22] {stevw} yeah, just bored
[13:22] {_fish_49} lol
[13:23] {stevw} that was surprisingly therapeutic
[13:23] {Will49} looked like a Hamiltonian orgasm to me
[13:23] {stevw} lol
[13:24] {stevw} if i had one more monitor, you can imagine what might be on it given this slow midday
[13:24] {Will49} btw stev, did you tell me where in Ham you live?
[13:25] {_fish_49} how many monitors stevw
[13:25] {stevw} up in Ancaster now, but grew up in westdale near princess point
[13:25] {stevw} i only have 2 monitors, but 1 is nice and big
[13:25] {Will49} love Westdale
[13:25] {Will49} used to go to that theatre a lot
[13:25] {stevw} great place to grow up and it's even more charming now
[13:26] {stevw} snuck into that theatre from the back alley many, many times
[13:26] {Will49} haha
[13:26] {stevw} the students now living in the area is a mixed blessing
[13:27] {Will49} I'll bet
[13:27] {stevw} they bring more vibrance, but their slumlords let the properties go to hell
[13:27] {Will49} almost bought a house there in the eighties but it had a 6 unit residence next door
[13:27] {stevw} good to avoid
[13:28] {Will49} was too old to join the parties, so passed on it
[13:28] {stevw} that said, would have been a good investment post-92 or so
[13:28] {Will49} yeah...for sure
[13:29] {stevw} you'll no doubt recall houses in east-central hamilton for {100k
[13:29] {Will49} yup
[13:29] {Will49} what are they now?
[13:29] {stevw} hard to imagine now you're out west, eh
[13:29] {stevw} they haven't been great investments, but gone are the days when you could get a 2 and a half storey brick home at those prices
[13:30] {stevw} but, you could still find solid ones for 150k
[13:30] {Will49} yeah, Victoria is idyllic if you can afford the housing
[13:30] {stevw} i keep watching the mid-island prices
[13:30] {Will49} been tempted to move back to Ham but the prov gov't scares me
[13:30] {stevw} put the wife to work at nanaimo general, (she's an RN)
[13:31] {stevw} seriously?!?
[13:31] {Will49} wife's family all there
[13:31] {stevw} dundas valley is pretty, but that's the only good thing you can say about this area
[13:32] {Will49} if it was just me, i'd stay put here
[13:32] {stevw} you should stay away from people dumb enough to live here, we're clearly not sane
[13:32] {Will49} lol
01[13:32] {&Threei}  lol
[13:32] {nemo} sanity is different from intelligence
01[13:32] {&Threei}  seriosuly will... this is the weirdest thing I;'ve heard you say
[13:32] {Will49} I got spooked when Bob Rae got elected
01[13:32] {&Threei}  and I didn't hear you saying many of those
[13:33] {stevw} jeez, i could almost take that as a compliment - from nemo, no less!!
[13:33] {stevw} Bob Rae would be a treat compared to McGuinty
[13:33] {nemo} I was accusing you of neither
[13:33] {_fish_49} dang  was watching FB for a short
01[13:34] {&Threei} Long Setup:  FCX  .40 break
[13:34] {Will49} Yeah Vad, Carolyn's mother only has a couple of years left and all her relatives are there
01[13:34] {&Threei}  If holds  .30
[13:37] {Will49} yeah stev...McGuinty was a real piece of....work.
[13:38] {Will49} ruined the place IMHO
[13:38] {stevw} he and Glen Clark would make good buddies
[13:38] {Will49} lol
[13:41] {Will49} so Vad..is FCX the kind of alert on which to put a conditional buy order in case I fall alseep watching it for the next two hours?
[13:42] {Will49} :)
01[13:42] {&Threei}  why not :)
[13:48] {stevw} vad, what's your opinion on agg entry to FCX at .35 given the pattern since noon?
[13:48] {stevw} maintain a similar .30 stop
[13:53] {jdetente} moot point now
[13:55] {stevw} imperfect c&h may complete on GDX in harmony with FCX breakout
01[13:55] {&Threei}  SPY is jerky
[13:55] {stevw} handle is a little deep, but that is likely attributable to low volume
[13:56] {Alexs} FCX triggered?
01[13:56] {&Threei}  yes
[13:57] {Alexs} makes sense to get in now?
01[13:57] {&Threei}  I'd wait for second break, confirming the strength
[13:57] {Alexs} k
01[13:58] {&Threei}  weird SPY moves
[13:58] {stevw} CAT currently in slightly positive territory for the day, but threatening to drop
01[14:11] {&Threei}  not good
01[14:12] {&Threei}  - Fed advisory council minutes: borrower undertainty hurt loan demand and small firms are recluctant to raise spending- Board consists of 12 bankers - Sequestration has had little impact and accomodation to continue for 1-3 more years
01[14:12] {&Threei}  not sure what in it spooks the market
01[14:13] {&Threei}  sounds mostly irrelevant
[14:13] {_fish_49} Friday, last day of month?
[14:13] {stevw} drop CAT drop
01[14:13] {&Threei}  a bit early for closing selloff
[14:13] {_fish_49} Sequestration was a joke  90% of it was put off till 2014
01[14:13] {&Threei}  yeah
[14:15] {_fish_49} level 2  shows significant support at .30
[14:15] {_fish_49} but I have come to realize  Level 2 is not longer of use
[14:16] {stevw} it may disappear in favour of support around .20
01[14:16] {&Threei}  it never really was
01[14:16] {&Threei}  other than for small scalps
01[14:16] {&Threei}  its role was a bit klarger during fraction times
01[14:16] {&Threei}  dcecimals diminished it even more
[14:17] {stevw} GDX gonna'breakout or fail?
[14:17] {nemo} believe it or not fas above .20 a good bet
[14:17] {stevw} ok CAT, that's one of your 9 lives
01[14:19] {&Threei}  ok FCX
01[14:19] {&Threei}  do your thing now
01[14:20] {&Threei}  you held by fingertips like a champion. Show that you can break and, umm, run
[14:20] {Will49} if this trade lasts more than 4 hrs, i'll have to call my doctor
[14:22] {nemo} mmhhh, maybe it's drain circling time
01[14:22] {&Threei}  market close is closer than that so...
[14:22] {Will49} :)
[14:23] {_fish_49} and if the astroid hits then no worries either
[14:23] {Will49} at my age, once you get one of these trades you don't want to lose it:)
01[14:23] {&Threei}  fish, no way nemo gets this lucky
01[14:24] {&Threei}  you should see him when 12/21/2012 came and went with no end of the world... he cried like a baby
[14:24] {_fish_49} lol
[14:24] {_fish_49} lol
[14:24] {_fish_49} lol
01[14:24] {&Threei}  bawled
[14:25] {_fish_49} means he still had to pay his mortgage
[14:25] {_fish_49} lol
[14:27] {_fish_49} Level 2  no longer showing that support at .30 waaaa
[14:27] {nemo} still looking like they're gonna' run this thing up
[14:28] {nemo} nah, I was already, was gonna' go around and put all my neighbors out of my misery
[14:28] {nemo} all ready
[14:28] {_fish_49} its  ok  typo's are allowed  Les not here
01[14:30] {&Threei}  oh well
[14:30] {_fish_49} smelly ass carp
01[14:30] {&Threei}  SPY is losing it
[14:33] {stevw} well CAT, you almost shook me out, let's see if you can properly die now
[14:35] {stevw} and to think i was bored to distraction a couple hours ago
[14:36] {_fish_49} are u short in CAT stevw?
[14:36] {stevw} yes, short at .45
[14:38] {jdetente} nice 1:1 there
[14:38] {stevw} the second failure of .40 has me waiting for more
[14:38] {jdetente} you're not taking half off?
01[14:38] {&Threei}  and SPY is helping nicely
[14:39] {stevw} will make that decision in the next 2 minutes
[14:40] {stevw} 1:2 seems to easy to not wait for
[14:41] {nemo} possible bounce territory
[14:41] {_fish_49} for what its worth I think u can get 1:2  I'm pulling for u  lol
[14:41] {stevw} true and ty
[14:42] {nemo} bounce time
[14:43] {stevw} not many buyers picking it up
[14:43] {thomcbell} looking for a long setup kors
[14:44] {thomcbell} not quite there yet but 63.58 long break if holdin 63.48
[14:45] {nemo} mmhhh...looks likely to test 63 thom
[14:46] {_fish_49} Die Cat Die
[14:46] {thomcbell} kors invalid will look lower
[14:46] {nemo} look on daily
[14:46] {thomcbell} dino where is s3
[14:47] {thomcbell} my tradestation only gives 1 and 2
[14:47] {_fish_49} Dino logged out awhile ago Thom
[14:47] {nemo} 62/93
[14:47] {nemo} 62.93
[14:47] {nemo} 63.03 support on daily
[14:48] {Will49} there ya go fish
[14:48] {stevw} covered half at .25 for 1:2
[14:48] {_fish_49} good job Stevw
[14:48] {thomcbell} yes i may take a look near 63
01[14:49] {&Threei}  that China PMI fear takes over
[14:50] {thomcbell} i am still going to use 63.58 trigger
[14:50] {thomcbell} with stop under day low
[14:50] {thomcbell} kors
01[14:51] {&Threei}  probably bounce time for SOY but more selling should return later
01[14:52] {&Threei}  wacth TZA for potential entry around 31.10
[14:53] {thomcbell} kors invalid
[14:53] {thomcbell} still watching
01[14:54] {&Threei}  in case you wondered:
01[14:54] {&Threei}  *(CO) COLOMBIA CENTRAL BANK LEAVES OVERNIGHT LENDING RATE UNCHANGED AT 3.25%, AS EXPECTED
[14:55] {thomcbell} decent wick there on kors 2 minutes ago
01[14:57] {&Threei} Short Setup: FB  .30 break
01[14:57] {&Threei}  If holds  .35
[15:02] {thomcbell} kors 63.49 long break if holding 63.37
[15:05] {_fish_49} two weeks ago everyone was selling FB  where did all the sellers go?  lol
[15:08] {thomcbell} its 1:1 kors - think it should have more
[15:08] {nemo} raise your stop to .49ish
[15:08] {thomcbell} yes
[15:10] {thomcbell} fio could really squeeze if 14.50 gets broken too
[15:10] {thomcbell} been consolidating since 11:15
[15:11] {thomcbell} in 0.10 cent range
[15:11] {thomcbell} out second half michael kors
[15:13] {_fish_49} good job Thom
[15:13] {nemo} kors looks short now
[15:15] {thomcbell} tu yes it has wet blanket onit
[15:15] {_fish_49} look at the 15 minute chart
01[15:16] {&Threei}  TZA on watch still

[15:16] {thomcbell} same with fio
01[15:21] {&Threei}  almost ready TZA
01[15:21] {&Threei} Long Setup:  TZA  .10 break
01[15:22] {&Threei}  If holds  .05  for scalpers, 31 for day traders
[15:22] {nemo} think they have to hunt for stops above 165 in spy first
01[15:27] {&Threei}  half out
[15:27] {nemo} of your mind?
01[15:27] {&Threei}  what makes you think it was all there?
[15:27] {_fish_49} all out
[15:27] {_fish_49} thanks vad
01[15:28] {&Threei}  sure
01[15:28] {&Threei}  keeping half still with .04 stop
01[15:28] {&Threei}  there should be some more panic
[15:28] {_fish_49} after took half off the table  I moved my stop up to BE  and had my stop taken out
01[15:28] {&Threei}  but 1:1 wasn't exactly hit yet
[15:29] {dptl} short CRM .79
01[15:29] {&Threei}  now it is, trailing stop to .08
[15:29] {_fish_49} yes when u said half out  I paniced

[15:30] {_fish_49} yes  and  when I filled  I had that feeling like  ok this is my 1:3  today
[15:31] {_fish_49} don't know  why I let panic set in

[15:35] {dptl} lol

01[15:51] {&Threei}  California lawmakers reject bill that would have created an agency to tax, regulate medical marijuana
01[15:51] {&Threei}  weird
[15:51] {nemo} it's California

01[15:52] {&Threei}  bout of sanity?
01[15:52] {&Threei}  very fleeting I am sure
[15:52] {jdetente} good thing for us Californians though...last thing we need is one more govt agency
[15:52] {nemo} no, they tax productive people...drugs are a counterculture thing so they leave them alone
01[15:52] {&Threei}  yes but to miss a chance to create another agency??
01[15:52] {&Threei}  that's anti-californian
