March 11 2014

That was one interesting day. Shaky morning, with a few stops that made it look like irreparable losing day - then win after win, for 1:3s and 1:2s took us back to breakeven, then slightly positive, then nicely positive. FB, EBAY, DE, FCX, JPM, both long and short (mostly short though),  something else out of other universe, like FCEL... all in all, ended well in positive territory.

01[11:35] {@Threei}  honestly, I see no good options over there... it's a choice between very bad now and very bad later
01[11:36] {@Threei}  and one hot head on either side is enough for the powder keg to explode
01[11:36] {@Threei}  in pre-WW2 months, it was the same... no one thought it was possible

01[11:42] {@Threei}  JOSB Men's Wearhouse nearing a deal for the company at $65/shr or a bit higher- press (vs last rejected offer at $63.50/shr) -
01[11:42] {@Threei}  wow FCX
01[11:43] {@Threei}  and at the beginning of the trade I was thinking, maybe limit it to just a scalp
[11:43] {mojo1} unreal
01[11:43] {@Threei}  good thing decided against it
01[11:43] {@Threei}  oh
01[11:43] {@Threei}  here is why
[11:44] {nemo} what copper futures doing?
01[11:44] {@Threei}  IPath DJ/UBS Copper Copper futures move to new lows back below $3.00/lb- Weakness attributed to renewed chatter of potential for further corporate debt defaults in China.
01[11:44] {@Threei}  Lowest since July 2010

[11:44] {nemo} yep
01[11:44] {@Threei}  what can I say... perfect timing on our short
01[11:45] {@Threei}  PLUG
01[11:45] {@Threei}  Plug Power Inc Citron research makes cautious comments; sees fair value at $0.50/shr- Citron tweets: "Citron comments on this casino stock. Management wouldn't buy it at .15 cents why should you buy it at $11?"
01[11:45] {@Threei}  Cotron tends to kill stocks
01[11:46] {@Threei}  kill them dead
01[11:46] {@Threei}  Citron too

[12:43] {fish_49} fcx breakout  back to Vwap?
[12:43] {fish_49} HG (Copper Futures)  still sliding down
01[12:43] {@Threei}  I am not jazzed about this trade
[12:44] {fish_49} k
01[12:44] {@Threei}  chart is right but underlying asset is in deeper troubles than it show so fart
01[12:44] {@Threei}  copper might be in real bear for a while
01[12:44] {@Threei}  it doesn't mean FCX is untradeable on a long side, but this setup is not very compelling
01[12:45] {@Threei}  heh
01[12:46] {@Threei}  anyone wondered why Putin denied the obvious saying that it's not his troops in Crimea?
01[12:46] {@Threei}  among other reasons, this:
[12:46] {fish_49} y
01[12:46] {@Threei}  Russian oligarchs and senior politicians are likely to escape sanctions over the occupation of Ukraine, Downing Street admitted today. Any asset freezes or visa bans imposed by the West on Moscow in reprisal for the deployment of Russian troops in Crimea will be targeted at “officials who have links to the action that has been taken with regard to the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty", the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman said.
01[12:46] {@Threei}  go ahead, prove it
01[12:47] {@Threei}  wealthy businessmen who are close to Vladimir Putin, many of whom have vast fortunes in London and across Europe, are unlikely to be hit.
01[12:47] {@Threei}  Sources said Mr Putin and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, are unlikely to be affected as the Foreign Office wants them to be free to travel to talks over Ukraine.
[12:48] {fish_49} He starting to sound like Baghdad Bob
01[12:48] {@Threei}  only he actually has military and is not afraid to use it
[12:48] {fish_49} http://www.free-lebanon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Baghdad-Bob.jpg
01[12:49] {@Threei}  More U.S. F-16 fighting falcons will be deployed to Poland in the coming days and weeks, the Pentagon press service has reported.
[12:50] {fish_49} words can't fix it  so we send planes
01[12:50] {@Threei}  planes can't either
01[12:50] {@Threei}  they already said they are not goihng to engage militarily
01[12:50] {@Threei}  so who cares about those planes
[12:50] {dino} poland does
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree but when did they ever do what they say?
[12:51] {fish_49} it's just a show of force
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree with the comment yesterday Ukraine needs Nuc's
[12:51] {dino} they are there to say you get ukrain, but no more
01[12:51] {@Threei}  that's all he wants
[12:51] {fish_49} Another cold war
[12:52] {dino} good for defense companies
01[12:52] {@Threei}  no one does anything about such incursion, that WILL lead to another
01[12:52] {@Threei}  just as Georgia in 2008
01[12:53] {@Threei}  there wouldn't be Crimea if that wasn't allowed and forgiven
[12:53] {dino} agreed
01[12:53] {@Threei}  also, when such precedent is created with broken guarantees for giving up your nukes, how's that going to play in the future?
01[12:54] {@Threei}  Iran gets the message loud and clear - get those nukes if you want to be safe
[12:54] {fish_49} Yep
[12:54] {fish_49} Kim Jung Un will work harder as well
01[12:54] {@Threei}  right
01[12:55] {@Threei}  this us why I said I see no good options there
01[12:55] {@Threei}  no one wants war
01[12:55] {@Threei}  but all the measures avoiding it only create more pretext for further confrontations
01[12:55] {@Threei}  we didn't get here in one step, there were a lot of errors made in the past
01[12:56] {@Threei}  and as a result, we have this situation with bad choices and worse choices
01[12:58] {@Threei}  Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian saboteur in Donetsk Oblast on March 10, said SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko. The suspect is accused of preparing explosions and orchestrating other acts of diversion, said Nalyvaichenko in a statement on March 11. His activity is suspected of serving as a pretext for a wider Russian military invasion of Ukraine beyond Crimea.

01[14:42] {@Threei}  Herbalife Ltd. Pershing (Ackman): Company has yet to disprove any of the issues set forth in the presentation - presentation- Claims that research conducted in Chinese markets show that HLF has violated multi-level marketing (MLM) rules in China including violations of how it pays distributors and how they recruit new representatives.
01[14:42] {@Threei}  you need real coffee, fish
01[14:42] {@Threei}  brewed in jezva
01[14:42] {@Threei}  not this drip crap
[14:43] {fish_49} ohhh no  When I was a working man  there were some cubans  that gave me a small plastic tiny cup of mud  they said was coffee
[14:43] {fish_49} I thought I didnt sleep for days
01[14:43] {@Threei}  I swear HLF will be the end of Ackman
[14:43] {nemo} anybody else's buying power screwed up
[14:43] {dino} herbalife is ackman's white whale, going to ruin him
01[14:43] {@Threei}  and he will be proven right after he goes bankrupt
[14:43] {dino} thats what i'm thinking
[14:43] {fish_49} my BP seems off
01[14:43] {@Threei}  - "Herbalife would have you believe that its distributors are paid as hourly consultants" when it is 100% paid on commissions. Pershing claims that the consulting pay is a "fictional" construct based on distributing commissions divided work hours. Says this practice enables them to talk to recruits at public seminars, and circumvent Chinese law. - Distributors in China that were interviewed suggested that they had multiple layers of distributors working under them, violating Chinese law which does not allow distributors to recruit other distributors.

[15:30] {fish_49} thanks for explaining

01[15:30] {@Threei}  to make it more universal:

01[15:30] {@Threei}  there are cases of a name being not shortable across the board, for various reasons,

01[15:30] {@Threei}  mostly legal,

01[15:31] {@Threei}  and the rest is a matter of having inventory for a name

01[15:31] {@Threei}  since shorting is borrowing, broker must have inventory for a stock to lend

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Cold Weather, Cold War

- The S&P500 notched new all-time closing highs this week and not even the prospects of war in Ukraine managed to unseat the relentless bid. Ukraine became a central issue after Russian troops occupied Crimea without a shot fired and the Ukrainian province prepared to legitimize the move via referendum. In Europe, ECB President Draghi was more hawkish than expected and resisted calls to offer additional accommodation or even say the word deflation. At China's National People's Congress, Beijing unveiled its official 2014 targets, most notably maintaining the 7.5% GDP objective for the third year in a row and set the inflation target at 3.5%. Meanwhile, China's Feb manufacturing PMI fell to an eight-month low of 50.2, just a hair away from contraction. For the week, the DJIA rose 0.8%, the S&P500 gained 1.0% and the Nasdaq added 0.7%.

- On Monday, Russia's MICEX index fell 11%, the DAX was down as much as 3% and the CAC fell as much as 2.5% as Europe responded to Russian escalation over the weekend. The ruble was in free fall, prompting the Russian central bank to raise its key lending rate to 7% from 5.5%. At its worst, USD/RUB rose as high as 36.6, the ruble's weakest level since the 1998 currency crisis. An air of unreality surrounded Russian statements about the situation, as Putin denied that Russian troops were even participating in the occupation of Crimea (he said the troops were just extraordinarily well-armed local Russians). The Crimean parliament asked Putin to start the procedure of formally allowing Crimea to join the Russian Federation and scheduled a referendum for March 16th. Ukraine called the moves illegal and promised to hold on to the peninsula. Europe responded by threatening to consider sanctions, while the US is actively establishing a limited sanctions regime and sending token military assets to the region.

- The February jobs report took markets by surprise on Friday. After the ADP miss (at +139K jobs v +155Ke) and various weak employment components from February regional Fed reports, many participants were assuming the Labor Department report would be terrible. On Thursday, Fed Governor Lockhart said he did not expect to see an outstanding jobs report. But in the event, the Feb NFPs roundly beat expectations (+175K v +149Ke) and the unemployment rate ticked up one-tenth to 6.7%. The biggest surprise in the data was a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings, the largest increase since last June, while average hours worked fell, likely due to distortions caused by weather.

- The February ISM manufacturing data was slightly better than expected, rising to 53.2 from January's nine-month low of 51.3. The key new orders component saw solid gains, rising to 54.5 from 51.2 prior. Note that the weakness in December and January was chiefly seen in the new orders component.

- February auto sales numbers are the latest economic data to be impacted by winter weather. Ford and GM both saw sales decline on a y/y basis, although total unit sales were more or less in line with expectations. Sales executives from both firms cited the weather as restraining sales. Chrysler's sales grew 11%, and executives said the weather only helped sales of their Jeep line, which were up 47% y/y. Nissan's sales grew 16% y/y, although this was a bit shy of expectations.

- In earnings news, shares of Radio Shack are down 20% this week after the troubled retailer reported brutally bad fourth quarter results, with losses three times the year ago figure and retail comps down 12%. Homebuilder Hovnanian dragged down the entire sector after it missed revenue expectations and racked up an unexpectedly large quarterly loss. The firm's contract cancellation rate crept up and its net contracts signed metric fell y/y. HOV is down 17% while fellow luxury home builder KBH is down nearly 10% this week. Costco missed top- and bottom-line expectations in its second-quarter report. The price club's same store sales held up well, up 2% overall while US comps were up 4%. Earnings fell y/y, dragged down by weak margins in the holiday season and tough FX conditions.

- Safeway announced a formal merger deal with Cerberus's Albertsons after a long courtship. The $40/share price values Safeway at more than $9 billion. Note that there have been reports that Kroger is still mulling a higher offer. A Deutsche Bank analyst wrote that Kroger should bid and that Safeway could fetch a price above $40.

- The ECB resisted calls to fight disinflation with more easing at its policy meeting on Thursday. EUR/USD was steady after the ECB left rates on hold and refrained from launching any new programs, and then moved sharply higher, testing 1.3850, once it was clear that ECB President Draghi would merely reiterates familiar positions at the post-rate decision press conference. Draghi said that recent improvements in the eurozone obviate the need to halt SMP sterilization. On Friday morning, EUR/USD moved even higher, probing briefly above 1.3920 to its highest level since late 2011. The euro weakened after the US jobs report.

- China has now witnessed its first corporate default in history. Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy is looking to sell overseas assets to make up a missed bond payment and neither banks nor government entities are stepping in to help. Chaori's default took place during the annual People's Congress session, reinforcing the signal that Beijing is letting market forces play a stronger role in the economy. However analysts point out this is only the beginning given that the number of Chinese companies with debt levels double equity has surged since the financial crisis began.

March 07 2014

Much better day as some rhythm re-emerged. A few 1:3 and 1:2 trades made a decent trading session; notable ones were short on C and long on VXX.

 Session Time: Fri Mar 07 00:00:00 2014
[08:29] {nemo} Here it comes....
[08:29] {nemo} must be good

[08:29] {fish_49} ohhh mmyyy  fun spike
[08:30] {nemo} only if you were in
[08:30] {nemo} makes sense though, if it was bad, it would be the weather, if it was good.yippeeee
[08:30] {fish_49} i joined my Futures class late  they were short YM and NQ  glad I was late to class  lol  they stopped out
[08:30] {nemo} should have known when Goldman Sucks came out yesterday saying it would be a big miss...trying to get people out of the way
[08:31] {nemo} short made no sense given previous reaction to misses, especially with the weather
[08:32] {nemo} we've already hit R4 on the daily although the range is only about half the 20 day average
[08:33] {fish_49} the numbers were positive...  We trade up on negative news  and we trade up on positive news...  Go figure
[08:34] {fish_49} ther folks that took the upper zone  on the NQ  are gonna be fine

[08:34] {nemo} when you trade down on good news, then we'll start thinking bear
[08:35] {fish_49} well that has been the case while Feds were not clear on tapering  but  now they are firm
[08:35] {nemo} yeah, and economy is showing strength without the Fed's training wheels
[08:36] {fish_49} in my humble opinion  the issue is now  "when do we raise rates"  and that key number was when the unemployment rate hits 6.5 and stays there or below 6.5  for awhile
[08:36] {nemo} yeah, and the unemployment rate went up
[08:37] {nemo} I think they've said, not until 2015 at least
[08:37] {fish_49} they can't say that
[08:37] {fish_49} they dont have crystal ball toad
[08:38] {nemo} they did say that
[08:38] {nemo} they have to finance the government debt also
[08:38] {nemo} that's unspoken in this

01[11:21] {@Threei}  positive

[11:30] {dino} ty
[11:32] {fish_49} Vad you were able to see the print of .51  on C  where did you find that info  ?
01[11:33] {@Threei}  at the time, on T&S
[11:33] {thomcbell} vad - come on that splk just worked like this
[11:33] {fish_49} ahhh I scrolled down it was gone
01[11:33] {@Threei}  didn't watch it at the moment, thom...
01[11:34] {@Threei}  fish... why are you searching for it??
01[11:34] {@Threei}  no one disputes it was there
[11:34] {fish_49} I'm pissed
01[11:34] {@Threei}  that's not the point
[11:34] {fish_49} It seems as I was seeing things?  but  It printed .51
01[11:34] {@Threei}  so how finding it changes anything?
01[11:34] {@Threei}  I am not sure you are reading what type...
[11:35] {thomcbell} 91.90 short break
01[11:35] {@Threei}  please stop for a minute and read this:
01[11:35] {@Threei}  T&S is not the ultimate display of everything that happens, since prints on it can be a) legit b) erroneous c)late
01[11:36] {@Threei}  T&S in addition to Level 2 is much more complete indication
01[11:36] {@Threei}  since Level 2 will show you actual bids and offers
01[11:36] {@Threei}  so you can see where the print is in relation to those
01[11:37] {@Threei}  No one disputes that .51 print could have been there
01[11:37] {@Threei}  the point is, it's was out of market print,
01[11:37] {@Threei}  actual breakout never happened
01[11:37] {@Threei}  as offer at .50 was not broken.
[11:37] {fish_49} Thanks
01[11:38] {@Threei}  If you go back to scalping video course,
01[11:38] {@Threei}  you will see that Level 2 is placed next to T&S
01[11:38] {@Threei}  and it's both windows that re used to gauge the action
[11:39] {fish_49} Thanks

[13:51] {munky} can i just ask ?
01[13:51] {@Threei}  just a sec, lemme finish
01[13:52] {@Threei}  imagine losing 3/4 of your trading account, having trading as you only hope of survival, with no actionable English, being with no legal immigrant status and having a wife and two kids to feed

01[13:53] {@Threei}  Go through that and recover, making trading work for you... come to me with box of Hennessy, we will trade stories :)
[13:53] {nemo} wow, not one spelling mistake
01[13:53] {@Threei}  oh, then publish couple trading books in that same English
[13:53] {munky} it might help us, on ebay short, break .80, so entry is either .80 or .79, a true 1;1 gotta be .70 or .69,
01[13:54] {@Threei}  and then meet nemo and deal with THAT
[13:54] {munky} but u were trying .71
[13:54] {munky} many times u critique my 1 penny stop or entry
[13:54] {nemo} right...and have NEMO edit stuff and write stuff, and sometimes carry the humor load in this Godforsaken redoubt in the etherworld
01[13:54] {@Threei}  trues 1:1 is still .70, risk reawrd ratios do not change depending on your entry since it's a market feature, independent on where you got your fill
06[13:55] * fish_49 slaps munky around a bit with a large trout
[13:55] {munky} trying to help u fish
[13:55] {fish_49} just getting even Munk Brother
01[13:55] {@Threei}  munky... point is:
[13:55] {munky} but hey, munkys eat fish as well as fruit
[13:55] {nathan} nice ADBE nemo
[13:56] {nathan} i missed
01[13:56] {@Threei}  break of meanongful support or resistance should be a signal for your action
[13:56] {nemo} what's ur real name Munky....Thelonious?
[13:56] {RonS} Spanky?
[13:56] {fish_49} Spunky
[13:57] {fish_49} what is the rabbit name at the dog races
[13:57] {nemo} o.k.  I'm throwing the flag for piling on
[13:57] {fish_49} here comes spunky?  or is it Sparky?
[13:57] {fish_49} we have  to
[13:57] {fish_49} I mean I have  to
[13:57] {fish_49} I just getting even for him ragging me  when I was boiling  a couple hours  ago
[13:57] {nemo} yes, I understand...it's a moral imperative
[13:58] {munky} someone slap fish, he is ranting
[13:58] {nemo} kick a man while he's down and keep kicking, if he gets up he might start kicking u
[13:59] {nemo} any bets we go out at vwap again today?
[13:59] {fish_49} Kick a man when he is down.  If he gets up, Run like hell
[14:00] {nemo} won't happen if you have a clue what you're doing
[14:01] {munky} sheesh, vad kicked me out of mirc
[14:02] {fish_49} he must be feeling nice  he let you back in
01[14:03] {@Threei}  1:1
01[14:03] {@Threei}  btw
[14:03] {munky} ok, got .70
[14:03] {munky} im at .61 next, correct?
01[14:03] {@Threei}  .60 strictly speaking
01[14:04] {@Threei}  unless tops the balance at .81
01[14:04] {@Threei}  and if gets to .60, we might adjust by a cdent or two, let's see how things go
01[14:04] {@Threei}  tops = stops
[14:04] {munky} so now stop is .81 correct?
01[14:05] {@Threei}  right
[14:06] {goinshort} had to reboot -are we trading anything ?
[14:06] {nemo} yeah....
[14:06] {nemo} barbs
01[14:06] {@Threei}  EBAY is half out
[14:06] {munky} good, i just want to know if im getting ur thoghts
01[14:08] {@Threei}  you continue making this mistake...
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I have no thoughts
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I have SOP
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I follow it
[14:09] {nathan} spike on CRM
[14:12] {nathan} there it goes
[14:14] {munky} so nemo, u thinking/watchin spy my go up close vwap?
[14:15] {munky} my=may
[14:15] {nemo} it's a possibility, but this weakness looks like we may test the low end of the range
[14:16] {munky} ok, ty
[14:16] {munky} cap'n
[14:16] {nemo} volatility picking up a bit
[14:16] {munky} vxx trade ?
[14:17] {nemo} that top on vxx is the start of a gap...it would be long if indexes come in
[14:17] {nemo} I'm not seeing a clean setup though
[14:18] {munky} u see a sh in fb nemo?
[14:18] {munky} or depends on spy
[14:19] {nemo} could use a consolidation, this is a vad setup in the making
[14:19] {nemo} everything kinda' depends on spy
01[14:19] {@Threei}  close GDX
01[14:19] {@Threei}  annoyed
01[14:20] {@Threei}  here comes more selling
01[14:20] {@Threei}  folks, let me share what I hear from, well
01[14:20] {@Threei}  let's call it sources
01[14:20] {@Threei}  on the ground so to speak
01[14:21] {@Threei}  to make it succinct, without too much theory
01[14:22] {@Threei}  1. Ukraine is not going to abandon its EU ascension ambitions, they see it as their only protection
01[14:22] {@Threei}  2. Russia is not going to allow NATO this close
[14:22] {munky} ww3?
[14:23] {_illyakuryakin} east -west split?
01[14:23] {@Threei}  3. All these western discussions about finding compromise etc are not applicable, this is just not the way Putin thinks
01[14:23] {@Threei}  4. He has no respect for current western leadership, in both EU and USA, considers them rotten and lazy
01[14:24] {@Threei}  5. He is widely supported by population where media promotes such views for a good decade playing of nationalistic feelings and wounded pride
01[14:25] {@Threei}  This situation is going to escalate
01[14:25] {@Threei}  there is only one thing that can stop him
01[14:25] {@Threei}  and that's exactly the thing West refuses to do
[14:25] {nemo} coup
[14:25] {fish_49} In my humble opinion, if he just sits and waits  it will unfold his way  without violence from Russia
01[14:26] {@Threei}  that's what he will do fish, if Ukraine abandons EU/NATO plans
01[14:26] {@Threei}  but if those pkans proceed, he qwon't have that luxury
[14:27] {fish_49} no,  then he will be in same situation as Obummer was in with Syria
[14:27] {fish_49} if they proceed they will paint him in a corner
01[14:27] {@Threei}  only he acts on nis red lines
01[14:27] {@Threei}  his
[14:28] {dino} .
[14:29] {fish_49} there is no fear of WW3  that will not happen
[14:29] {_illyakuryakin} but only if there's a coup?
01[14:29] {@Threei}  I don't see any chance for a coup
01[14:30] {@Threei}  his grip on power is very strong
[14:30] {dino} the only thing that will stop putin is if the business guys in russia (the money men) tell him to, because its costing them billions
01[14:30] {@Threei}  no dino
01[14:31] {@Threei}  he doesn't care if they can't get to their yachts in Nizza
01[14:31] {@Threei}  and he showed many times that they better stay away from pol,itics
[14:31] {nemo} they've never seen them anyway
01[14:31] {@Threei}  remember Khodorkovsky?
01[14:32] {@Threei}  for him it's an existential threat
01[14:33] {@Threei}  he backs off, he loses his position in power
01[14:33] {@Threei}  his bet is, West won;t go to war
01[14:33] {@Threei}  just as it happened with Georgia
[14:33] {dino} i think he is empire building, doesn't give a f#$k about anything or anyone else
01[14:34] {@Threei}  pretty much
[14:34] {fish_49} correctamundo  Dino
[14:34] {dino} nepoleon complex
01[14:34] {@Threei}  to get why he is so sensitive about Ukraine/EU thing, look at the geographic map, not political
01[14:35] {@Threei}  look at huge border Russia has, with nothing natural to protect it
01[14:35] {@Threei}  no major rivers no mountains
01[14:35] {@Threei}  direct access
01[14:36] {@Threei}  that's why throughout the centuries Russia saw its security in surroounding itself with buffer countries
[14:36] {RonS} data leaking
[14:37] {dino} don't really think that its a fear/buffer thing. i think he wants to take it and he will take.  trying to prove to the world that he is in charge
01[14:37] {@Threei}  VXX nice move
01[14:37] {@Threei}  buffer thing is what lies under the very concept of influencing nearest countries, dino
01[14:38] {@Threei}  when that concept is internalized as a cornerstone of foreign policy, actions follow
[14:38] {dino} its about power, you got it, i want it
[14:39] {dino} think about it, nobody else simply taes countries. but putin does. power/ego/etc
[14:39] {dino} takes
01[14:39] {@Threei}  my point is, this concept shows wy there is no way to calm this down
[14:39] {dino} he is the guy that takes without payment or penalty.
01[14:39] {@Threei}  as long as EU tries to embrace Ukraine, it will escalate
[14:39] {dino} so why not take some more?
[14:41] {dino} sure it will escalate, putin will take the entire country. eu will talk tough, but do nothing as usual. then putin will look for his next acquisition
[14:41] {munky} at least when months over ill be an expert in euro/russo politics
[14:41] {dino} emoire building
[14:42] {dino} empire
[14:42] {fish_49} EU will be forced  to turn the blind eye and hope the issue goes away.  what choices are there?  non.. Zilch...
01[14:43] {@Threei}  that choice is horrible too
[14:43] {fish_49} yes  agree but who is in a position to stop it  Vad?
[14:43] {dino} yes it is horrible, but eu has no balls
01[14:43] {@Threei}  Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchnage for guarantee of its territorial integrity
[14:43] {mojo1} is this the trading room, not sure
01[14:43] {@Threei}  that means next time someone is offered such tradem he will refuse sxeeing how guarantees do not work
[14:44] {dino} and obummer agreed not to place missles in eastern europe.
01[14:44] {@Threei}  mojo... where do you think my idea of shorting into eod came from?
01[14:44] {@Threei}  that same that works on EBAY and VXX?
01[14:45] {@Threei}  I started this to inform you about nearest perspectives that will have censequences for the market
[14:45] {munky} and how does this all affect the south american banana supply?
01[14:45] {@Threei}  it doesn't
01[14:46] {@Threei}  other than slight price increase
[14:46] {munky} well, thats a priority to this chimp
01[14:46] {@Threei}  as a result of oil goong up in secalation scenario
01[14:46] {@Threei}  escalation
[14:46] {_illyakuryakin} but trout in Peru, they should do well
[14:47] {fish_49} thanks Illy

[14:47] {_illyakuryakin} in the highlands
06[14:47] * munky slaps _illyakuryakin around a bit with a large trout
01[14:47] {@Threei}  (UR) Russia forces could be storming a Ukraine base near Sevastopol, Crimea - Ukraine press- Said to have broken through the gates using a truck and advancing toward the base command center. - Base said to have 100 Ukrainian soldiers; No indication to the size of the Russian forces
[14:48] {dino} mistrial panw case
[14:49] {fish_49} I'm confused .. why would Russian forces storm something they already control?
[14:49] {dino} for photo ops
01[14:50] {@Threei}  they surrounded those bases
[14:50] {fish_49} ahhhh   better Vodka and girls on the other side
01[14:50] {@Threei}  now they are taking them
[14:50] {_illyakuryakin} its only a drill too

01[15:00] {@Threei}  Palo Alto Networks Markman Advisors tweets that a mistrial has been declared in patent case brought by Juniper Networks **NOTE: Juniper is currently pursuing patent claims against PANW and the trial started in late Feb. Juniper claims that Palo Alto co-founder Nir Zuk, who worked at Juniper for about a year between 2004-2005 after Juniper acquired NetScreen (where Zuk was CTO), used some of its technology in Palo Alto's products.
