[11:41] {RonS} miners putting on an impressive reversal today
[11:41] {nemo} just about kissed the gap
[11:42] {nemo} I think Alex should be the first recipient of the Les Award
01[11:42] {&Threei}  why not Les?
01[11:42] {&Threei}  logic says, Les should be first recipient of Les Award
[11:42] {nemo} he's not here, and it's the most insulting thing I could think of to say to Alex on short notice
01[11:43] {&Threei}  ummm
01[11:43] {&Threei}  OK, 2 comments
01[11:43] {&Threei}  1. he will be here soon enough
[11:43] {nemo} my logic and economy are impeccable
[11:43] {Alexs} ty nemo
01[11:43] {&Threei}  and 2. you really need to work on those short notice insults
[11:43] {nemo} Without Les here, I don't get nearly enough practice.
01[11:43] {&Threei}  I mean this is really meek
[11:44] {nemo} Ron doesn't say much
[11:44] {nemo} no Will
01[11:44] {&Threei}  do what all martial arts guys do, practice with mirror
[11:45] {nemo} not this one

[11:55] {RonS} NBG kind of ripping...any news 3i?

01[11:55] {&Threei}  National Bank of Greece SA Reports 1H profit €344M v €125Me- 1H loan loss provisions €853M v €1.2B y/y - 1H results improved thanks to improvement at Turkish subsidiary Finansbank, and lower loan loss provisions.

[11:57] {RonS} thanks
01[11:58] {&Threei}  lol
01[11:58] {&Threei}  line on the bottom on TV
01[11:58] {&Threei}  prime minister speaks, line says
01[11:58] {&Threei}  Harper Makes Crime Announcement
01[12:00] {&Threei}  alex... nemo knows a few russian words thanks to some folks in his surroundings... unfortunately, most of them sre swear words that he uses non-discriminately and non-sparingly
[12:01] {nemo} and rude drinking toasts
[12:08] {bbobr} rude toasts  ? like what ?
01[12:08] {&Threei}  you are waking up a monster, bbobr...

[12:21] {Alexs} no stop please I need my fair share
01[12:22] {&Threei}  because you deserve it
[12:22] {Alexs} exactly!
01[12:22] {&Threei}  :)
[12:23] {Alexs} and I was promised...
01[12:23] {&Threei}  by O
01[12:23] {&Threei}  that I will deliver
01[12:23] {&Threei}  kind of: Belarus and Argentina signed peace agreement between Ukraine and Mongolia
[12:24] {Alexs} lol
01[12:34] {&Threei}  dino... we are kings of abbreviation. We took 700-pages long Atlas Shrugged and successfuly shortened it for Alex in 5 lines.
01[12:34] {&Threei}  ultimate cliff notes
[12:37] {Alexs} yeah this book became a turning point in my perception of the world because of you guys
01[12:43] {&Threei}  you mean each and every of our 5 lines?? wow... we did good!
01[12:44] {&Threei}  now... who is john galt... {G}
[12:44] {nemo} what five lines?
01[12:44] {&Threei}  well, we relid whole content of the book in about that many, lol
01[12:45] {&Threei}  relied
[12:45] {dino} so alexs is on board w/atlas shrugged?
[12:46] {dino} the man who stopped the world
[12:52] {Alexs} looks like those freemarketeers don't want to give me my fair share in FCX
01[12:52] {&Threei}  lol
[12:53] {Alexs}  "even as corporate profits soar, even as the pay of a fortunate few explodes."
01[12:57] {&Threei}  I guess making correction for quiet time and taking profit in full at .72 - .73 was an option
01[12:57] {&Threei}  on the other hand... what's our hurry
01[12:57] {&Threei}  they often climb slowly during this time
01[13:24] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  .65 break
01[13:24] {&Threei}  If holds  .70
01[13:25] {&Threei}  nah
[13:26] {Alexs} and who is to blame?
01[13:26] {&Threei}  ummm
01[13:27] {&Threei}  guys, here is a suggestion for you to keep in mind
[13:27] {Alexs} the guy who's not delivered
01[13:28] {&Threei}  starting Sept, let's do a Q/A session each Wed around lunch time on best practices of trading software use,
01[13:28] {&Threei}  specific to cc9's offering
01[13:28] {&Threei}  and him being the one to answer.
01[13:29] {&Threei}  if you use their software, it's your opportunity to ask your questions and benefit from other's,
01[13:29] {&Threei}  if you don't it's your chance to find out more about it and contemplate possibler switch
01[13:29] {&Threei}  particularly, such missed entries as this morning's are less likely with fast direct access platform
01[13:30] {&Threei}  Sounds good?
01[13:30] {&Threei}  oh and GDX, you are a SoMG
01[13:30] {&Threei}  1:2...
01[13:31] {&Threei}  anyone's interested or am I wasting my breath?
[13:31] {Alexs} same money why not
[13:33] {bbobr} what software, missed something ?
01[13:34] {&Threei}  trading platform
01[13:35] {&Threei}  wickedly fast
[13:35] {+cc_9} DMA system
[13:35] {+cc_9} with co-location
[13:35] {+cc_9} direct market ECN routing
[13:36] {+cc_9} basically, instead of the usual MM retail brokers have, you direct flow through the ECN directly, so you pay less
[13:36] {bbobr} is there a website ?
[13:36] {+cc_9} You also pay per/share as opposed to per/trade in the case you were to scale in/out of trades instead of 1 hit
[13:36] {+cc_9} http://www.(gently edited out)
[13:36] {Alexs} actually a have the same thing
[13:37] {bbobr}  I have that on  IB
[13:38] {Alexs} what are the comissions?
[13:39] {+cc_9} They range, depends on volume/activity, generally .005/share
01[13:41] {&Threei}  you don't have the same executions on IB
[13:41] {+cc_9} if you need a demo to try the software, just email me support@(gently edited out)
[13:41] {nemo} nope, not even close
01[13:41] {&Threei}  and you have to have 25K
[13:42] {nemo} 9's system runs very lean on the computer also
[13:42] {+cc_9} its a light system
[13:43] {nemo} yeah, and considering the functionality of the charts, which are quite extensive, it's even more impressive
[13:43] {nemo} I wish it made better cappucino though
01[13:44] {&Threei}  cappucino?? don't tell me you drink that crap
[13:44] {bbobr} Will look into it, thanks
[13:45] {nemo} well, espresso
[13:48] {Alexs} what's wrong with execution on IB?
01[13:49] {&Threei}  try real broker, you'll see :)
[13:49] {nemo} doesn't compare Alex
[13:49] {Alexs} i'm using lightspeed
[13:49] {Alexs} works very good
[13:49] {nemo} Lightspeed good functionality but their execution is not great
[13:50] {nemo} it's a heavy system with latency problems
[13:51] {+cc_9} LSP is good, but they are retail
[13:51] {bbobr} Can you trade right on the chart on that platform ?
[13:51] {Alexs} if I see a price on level II i get it never had a problem
01[13:51] {&Threei}  why do you think you didn't get this morning's opening call?
[13:52] {nemo} alex, if you have market order you'll always get it
[13:52] {nemo} but that can be dangerous
[13:52] {Alexs} just didn't want it with 2 cents, call was late
01[13:52] {&Threei}  no
01[13:53] {&Threei}  price was there
01[13:53] {&Threei}  briefly but was
01[13:53] {&Threei}  you couldn't catch it in time because of latency
[13:53] {Alexs} never use market order
[13:53] {Alexs} to eneter a trade
01[13:53] {&Threei}  with DMA the chance to get it was much higher
[14:00] {Alexs} as I know lightspeed is a DMA
01[14:01] {&Threei}  alex... just try it
01[14:01] {&Threei}  many went this road, and the difference is not something they imagined
[14:01] {nemo} Alex I've used Lightspeed, DAS, Laser, Takion...Lightspeed is not as good from an execution standpoint.  It's that simple
[14:01] {Alexs} can I try it with no money?
01[14:02] {&Threei}  demo, yes
[14:02] {nemo} you can get a demo I believe but the fills won't be real
[14:02] {Alexs} that's what I mean
[14:03] {Alexs} demo works well all the time
01[14:03] {&Threei}  OK
01[14:03] {&Threei}  don't :)
[14:03] {nemo} yeah, fine...don't believe us, fuck it.
01[14:03] {&Threei}  this is a suggestion, not a matter of arguing
[14:03] {Alexs} how much deposit to try
[14:06] {+cc_9} Min account start is $2,500
[14:06] {+cc_9} You get about $50k to daytrade with
[14:06] {+cc_9} But if you want to be super duper cheap and just to "test", I can allow for $1k for a test account you can either keep after that or close.
[14:07] {Alexs} sounds nice :)
01[14:07] {&Threei}  LOL, you can open whole account with your August winnings
01[14:08] {&Threei}  and 1:20 margin? can you get this with your IB?
[14:10] {bbobr} no
[14:10] {Alexs} lets make little bit more today so I can try it with todays winnings
01[14:11] {&Threei}  man... those progressives... never enough {GGG}
[14:11] {Alexs} lol
[14:17] {nemo} ok everything doing the vwap shuffle right now
01[14:24] {&Threei} Long Setup:  CAT  .70 break
01[14:24] {&Threei}  If holds  .60
[14:24] {Alexs} hl?
01[14:25] {&Threei}  looks slow eniugh for 2/3
01[14:25] {&Threei}  or 3/4
[14:25] {Alexs} thanks
[14:31] {dino} cc9, you can daytrade on your platform with as little as $2k? what platform is it?
[14:32] {nemo} DAS trader
[14:32] {+cc_9} Yes can
[14:32] {+cc_9} Let me get you link
[14:33] {+cc_9} http://www.(gently edited out)
[14:33] {+cc_9} Some screen shots you can view
[14:33] {fish_49} cat still a trade?
01[14:33] {&Threei}  if course
[14:33] {nemo} Yeah, but it's very flexible as far as layouts and charts
01[14:33] {&Threei}  of
[14:33] {fish_49} was away then reading
01[14:34] {&Threei}  slowly clawing its way through to 1:1
[14:34] {fish_49} oh already triggered
01[14:34] {&Threei}  yes
01[14:34] {&Threei}  havn't hit 1:1 yet so if pulls back, get it
01[14:34] {&Threei}  ok... 1:1
01[14:34] {&Threei}  that's it alex, no excuses
06[14:34] * &Threei slaps Alexs around a bit with a large roll of cash
[14:34] {fish_49} what platform were we talking about 1:20 leverage
[14:35] {Alexs} love it
[14:35] {Alexs} that's what O promised
01[14:35] {&Threei}  one offered by cc9, fish...
[14:35] {fish_49} ahhh the replacement to laser?
01[14:36] {&Threei}  yes, or I would say, it's successor
01[14:36] {&Threei}  its
[14:36] {fish_49} cc u still there?
[14:37] {nemo} electronically speaking
[14:37] {fish_49} since it's offshore do they report earning to IRS?
[14:37] {fish_49} lol
[14:38] {+cc_9} I am here.
[14:38] {+cc_9} Who is "they" ?
[14:38] {+cc_9} Traders or firm ?
[14:38] {fish_49} firm
[14:38] {+cc_9} Firm is offshore, does not need to report anything
01[14:41] {&Threei}  (SY) US State department: Political solution is the only option in Syria; military options being discussed are limited and not aimed at regime change- Does not see this as being similar to Iraq
[14:42] {nemo} just keep a jar of KY jelly on your desk and work on your lower back flexibility
[14:44] {dino} confused, if offshore, does firm issue k9's or do you get 1099's?
[14:44] {+cc_9} We don't issue anything.
[14:44] {+cc_9} At the end of fiscal year, traders export their reports

[09:55] {nemo} the spread variability in nugt is impressive
[09:55] {nemo} I think it would be easier to trade BRKA
[09:55] {+cc_9} Here is how it will play out : cruise/tomahawk missiles at night, flatten airports and surface-to-air. Cargo in a ton of ammo for Al Nusra {our allies) in the hopes of forcing Assad into a corner.
[09:56] {nemo} yeah, pretty advanced air defenses, unless of course Russia has given us the back-doors
[09:57] {nemo} Maybe we sent them a printer
[09:57] {dino} our another nsa guy
[09:57] {+cc_9} S-300 are pretty effective, but 200+ cruise missiles firing within 24 hours are hard to counter.
[09:58] {nemo} what u say dino?
[09:58] {nemo} ahhh
[09:59] {nemo} before the beginning of the first Iraq war, Saddam's air defense system bought a printer

Aug 27 2013

Not only this one is a 1:3er on a classic DBI setup, it's a third successful short on this stock in one day. Wait for the log to be posted to see previous, including "deja vu setup."


Ended up with another very strong day. Interesting to see whether this is fluke, or we are into pattern of selling every bounce now. Such markets are much easier to trade, so not particularly upset if that's the change we face. 

Session Time: Tue Aug 27 00:00:00 2013
[09:20] {RonS} gm & bombs away...
01[09:20] {&Threei}  morning ron

[09:23] {nemo} well, if we see him take off his shoe at the podium
[09:24] {+cc_9} Isolate Iran (even though they never were a threat), put a wall between them and Lebanon. Facilitate Saudi oil pipelines through Syria and the list goes on

[13:41] {nemo} allows dems to vehemently stand against him in next elections
[13:41] {nemo} screws republicans
[13:47] {+cc_9} To believe that there are actually parties with different point of views and its all about who to vote in, is naive.
[13:49] {nemo} I understand, but the game is played at multiple levels...bread and circus to maintain the Potemkin village
01[13:49] {&Threei}  I liked toad and pooch theme better...
[13:49] {dino} i find it ironic that you can shoot as many people that you want, but you cannot gas them. death is death to me
01[13:49] {&Threei}  or kings and cabbage
[13:50] {dino} all the prior murders were ok i guess
[13:52] {nemo} nah, bread and circus for the masses
01[13:52] {&Threei}  priorities... no one spoke of boycotting Olympics in Russia while it supported Syria for 2 years, but as soon as gays rights were assaulted, all kinds of celebrities demanded boycott

[13:52] {dino} sure, the politically correct are not grounded in reality
01[13:52] {&Threei}  I would be very comfortable on Titan

[15:47] {nemo} this low on spy Was within a few cents of the weekly S2 so that lokely it

01[15:48] {&Threei}  1:1
[15:49] {dino} but down 6% in last 25 days
[15:51] {+cc_9} we saw the same pattern for all of June
[15:52] {dino} bounce soon, imo
[15:52] {+cc_9} 146-145 on DIA should give us max ~ 162 on SPY

Aug 26 2013

Despite being one of lowest volume days of the year (NYSE volume 335M shares, about 29% below its three-month average;  - NASDAQ volume 1.12B shares, about 17% below its three-month average!), we squeezed quite nice profits out of it. Just one week left until activity starts ramping up  gradually.

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: August is the Cruelest Month



- The summer doldrums continued this week, featuring sluggish, low volume trading plus a brief but exciting market outage. Handicapping the Federal Reserve's exit from QE asset purchases remains a major or the major theme. After rising sharply last week, the yield on the US 10-year leveled out, trading just shy of 2.9%. Higher interest rates in the US are having an outsized impact on emerging markets, as investors pull funds and drive currencies lower against the dollar. In China, shibor benchmark rates are spiking higher again and the PBoC is weakening the yuan. In Europe, stronger preliminary August manufacturing PMI readings suggested that a fragile recovery is possibly establishing itself. Finally there was a dramatic session for the Nasdaq on Thursday as routing errors just after midday forced a three-hour shutdown of its trading system.
For the week, the DJIA fell 0.5%, the S&P500 gained 0.5% and the Nasdaq added 1.5%.

- Little more than a year after it was embarrassed by the mishandling of the Facebook IPO, Nasdaq management was widely criticized for how it dealt with Thursday's trading outage. During the extended downtime, the company did little to inform customers and the media what was going on, leaving them to speculate that it might be a hacker attack or the result of high frequency trading overwhelming the system. The day after the incident, the company said it had found no system intrusions or unusual bursts of quotation activity, and that it will work to communicate better with the public. In a related story, BATS and DirectEdge were reported to be in advanced merger talks. Together the two electronic trading platforms would surpass Nasdaq as the second largest equity trading platform by volume.

- Higher mortgage rates are starting to impact the US housing market. Data out this week showed that US new home sales declined to their lowest level in seven months in July, widely missing expectations. The June new home sales data was revised lower as well, while median prices in July flattened and supply jumped to 5.2 months of inventory from 4.3 months in June. July existing home sales rose to their highest levels since late 2009, although that was attributed to nervousness about rising interest rates forcing potential buyers with a strong incentive to close deals.

- There was some debate about the real meaning of the FOMC minutes released on Wednesday. The WSJ's Hilsenrath asserted that the minutes reaffirm the Fed's existing timetable, which suggests the taper could begin as early as September. Others highlighted apparent growing uncertainty about the labor market and continuing low levels of demand. Many have pointed out that "a few" officials warned against putting too much attention on the "illustrative" 7% unemployment threshold and that "several" officials said they were "willing to contemplate lowering the unemployment rate threshold."

- The Kansas City Fed's Jackson Hole symposium got underway on Friday. Chairman Bernanke is skipping the conference as are many other global central bankers, making for a pretty low-key event. In interviews, Fed dove Bullard said the FOMC should be in no hurry to reduce QE purchases. Moderate, non-voter Lockhart said he would support a move in September if the data was still pointing toward sustainable improvements, but cautioned that numbers out so far do not point to a strong pickup in economic activity later in 2013. Hawk Fisher said the data makes him believe September is the time to begin the taper and said he was not alone in that belief.

- Just a month after Microsoft reported terrible Q4 results (with EPS at $0.52 versus expectations of $0.75), the company announced that it was looking for a replacement for long-serving CEO Balmer, who will serve until a successor is found. Rumors of the move had been circulating for some time. After years of consecutive mediocre and failed product launches under Balmer, investors responded with enthusiasm, sending shares of MSFT up as much as 9% in the immediate aftermath of the announcement on Friday. Elsewhere in tech, Hewlett-Packard reported troubling signs in Q2 results: the PC personal systems unit has seen slumping revenue for a while but the 9% slide in both the enterprise and enterprise services units - former islands of strength - was unexpected. CEO Whitman admitted that she no longer see a scenario in which revenue will return to year over year growth in FY14 because of the worsening market environment.

- More major retailers reported quarterly results this week. On the whole, teen apparel names reported terrible results. Troubled JC Penny blamed its 12% SSS decline on continuing fallout from the Ron Johnson experiments. Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale both widely missed estimates and saw double-digit negative comps, due to the "challenging retail environment." Retailers catering to a more mature age bracket did better: Gap and Limited Brands both had solid quarters featuring positive comps. Best Buy surprised everybody by widely beating earnings expectations, although executives cautioned that most of the better outcome was due to cost savings. Target reported disappointing results and trimmed its outlook, citing slower than expected growth in its new Canada operations, and saying consumers were channeling their spending toward big ticket items like home improvement and autos. In their Q2 reports this week, home improvement names Lowe's and Home Depot continued to benefit from the positive housing market, though both warned about a tougher second-half environment.

- Rising interest rates in the US did little to benefit the greenback against the euro and yen this week, although most other global currencies have weakened against the dollar. Against the currencies of emerging market nations that run large current account deficits, the dollar remains king. Both the Turkish Lira and the Indian Rupee moved out to their worst levels ever against the dollar: USD/TRY passed the 2.00 level and USD/INR moved above 65.50. Brazil Central Bank Chief Tombini pulled out of the Jackson Hole symposium to confer with President Rousseff about the Brazilan Real, which hit five-year lows around 2.45 late in the week. Central banks in Turkey, India and Brazil were active in the market as they tried to stem the losses.

- EUR/USD mostly traded within the 1.32-1.34 range where it has spent the past two weeks. On Tuesday the pair broke out to 6-month highs around 1.3450. In its monthly report, the Bundesbank wrote that ECB forward guidance was not a change in policy and that a rate hike was possible if inflation pressures emerge. GBP/USD hit two-month highs near 1.5670.

- Confirming the Euro Zone crisis is not yet over, German officials admitted this week that there would most likely be a third bailout for Greece. During a campaign speech, Finance Minister Schaeuble said as much although many analysts had assumed the ruling coalition would wait until after the September elections to officially admit it. Chancellor Merkel repeated Schaeuble's admission but ruled out another debt haircut and said nothing would happen on the Greek issue until mid-2014 or even 2015. The Bundesbank's Assmusen said it would not be known until the spring whether Greece can achieve a primary surplus, which would dictate their potential aid requirements.

Aug 23 2013

Very jellyfish-like day with market lacking direction, energy and any kind of determination. Some stops, some wins, some rinses, finishing day slightly negative and breaking 7 day's winning streak.

01[12:20] {&Threei}  shrug
[12:20] {dino} atlas
[12:21] {nemo} cough
[12:21] {dino} have to read that again
[12:21] {dino} has a calming effect on me
01[12:25] {&Threei}  dino has to be the only person on earth for whom atlas shrugged is a lulabye
[12:28] {dino} if you lived my life it would make more sense to you on why i like it so much
[12:31] {Alexs} is it a good movie btw?
[12:32] {dino} didn't see it
[12:32] {dino} read book 3x
01[12:34] {&Threei}  no alex
[12:34] {nemo} if you lived my life you know why I like Dante's Inferno so much
[12:34] {Alexs} read just one book last 20 years '101 charts'
[12:34] {dino} ironically railroads out west are booming because of oil, as in book
01[12:35] {&Threei}  book is classic if you take it for what it is, manifest of a certain philosophy rather than novel
01[12:35] {&Threei}  movie is crap
[12:35] {dino} we could all use a dagney tagart or two
01[12:35] {&Threei}  lefties hate this book passionately
[12:36] {Alexs} sorry 111 charts
[12:36] {nemo} Alex is running for Les' spot
[12:36] {dino} a lot of the book is coming real
[12:36] {dino} less and less supporting more and more
[12:37] {dino} govt interference
[12:37] {nemo} technology forcing that issue also
[12:37] {Alexs} no that spot is sainted
01[12:37] {&Threei}  lol
[12:37] {nemo} you also have species dynamics
[12:37] {dino} class warfare based on envy
[12:37] {nemo} soiled is more like it Alex
[12:37] {nemo} yes, but there may also be an outgrowth of natural dynamics
[12:38] {nemo} at some point a species expands beyond the capacity of it's naturals support systems
[12:38] {Alexs} lol
[12:38] {nemo} our's are not natural in the sense some are imposed by the social dynamics at work, but the overriding principles win out eventually
[12:38] {dino} or...at some point the welfare state destroys the producers
01[12:38] {&Threei}  honestly, when I read it, I thought, wow, she is describing USSR quite well
[12:39] {nemo} she was from Russia
01[12:39] {&Threei}  little did I know, this was all destined to repeat here
01[12:39] {&Threei}  I know
[12:39] {dino} she is describing obummer
[12:39] {dino} and he wasn't born when she wrote it
[12:39] {nemo} well, you also have the pyramid inversion of the population/income demographics
[12:40] {dino} you also have the ever expanding welfare state (poor me, i don't want to do that job, etc...)
[12:40] {nemo} yes, but you also have structural issues in the economy
[12:41] {nemo} technology has wiped out millions of jobs
[12:41] {dino} because of govt. they need to get out of the way
01[12:41] {&Threei}  "but I deserve a chance"
[12:41] {nemo} so what do you do with that population?
01[12:41] {&Threei}  hemlock?
[12:41] {dino} "deserve" is an evil word
[12:41] {nemo} 7.62X51
[12:41] {dino} nobody "deserves" anything
[12:42] {nemo} Vad...that line here
01[12:42] {&Threei}  or to put it other way, what you have is exactly what you deserve
[12:42] {nemo} society is a funny thing...you have to take care of the poor, so they're never held responsible for their actions and you reward them for bad behavior,
01[12:43] {&Threei}  no one is nailed to his place, his social layer, his intelligence level etc
[12:43] {nemo} and the rich and powerful, are rich and powerful, so the same with them
[12:43] {nemo} if you're in the middle, keep a barrel of KY handy and work on your flexibility
[12:43] {dino} agree w/both of you. but believe vads' statement more
[12:44] {nemo} true words are not fine sounding, fine sounding words are not true
[12:44] {dino} some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to
[12:45] {nemo} Well, Vad's incorrect about intelligence level
[12:45] {nemo} If we believe statistical science, 84% of the population have average to less than average intelligence at an organic level
[12:46] {dino} the world needs ditch diggers
[12:46] {nemo} With the other 16% it depends on the programming
[12:46] {nemo} Not really dino, less and less all the time
[12:46] {dino} 50% or more on welfare could be sweeping/picking litter, etc. they should be made to do something
[12:47] {nemo} I don't disagree, but it will never happen
[12:48] {dino} i believe it is a liberal conspiracy bto keep them down. tell them its not their fault. give them handouts. and they will vote liberal. they destroy generation after generation with this
[12:48] {nemo} Very practical from a liberal's point of view
[12:48] {dino} sure, the vote just gets larger
[12:48] {nemo} yep
01[12:48] {&Threei}  not a conspiracy, pure reality
[12:48] {nemo} yep
[12:48] {dino} indeed
[12:49] {nemo} lifecycle of empire
[12:49] {nemo} TweetOfGod again
[12:51] {Alexs} so doesn't make sense to resist just follow the trend
[12:51] {nemo} what are you talking about Alex?
[12:51] {Alexs} time to become liberal
[12:51] {nemo} fake it and drink more
[12:51] {Alexs} progressive
[12:51] {dino} the are broken alexs. they just don't know it. if yuo wake up in the morning, most of what happens is your fault
[12:52] {dino} accept that fact and your life gets better
[12:52] {nemo} well, it has the chance to get better
[12:52] {nemo} inner city neighborhoods are jungles and the schools are a joke
[12:53] {dino} sure and liberals continue the staus quo
[12:54] {nemo} and entrenched bureaucracies
[12:54] {dino} y
[12:54] {nemo} Tocqueville
[12:54] {nemo} The US has become more fascist than anything else
[12:55] {nemo} mmmhh looks like they're going to run spy again
[12:56] {dino} dllr lod
01[12:56] {&Threei}  I see you all got brazen in ese's absence... just you wait, he will show you, using Khruschev's expression, kuz'kinu mat'
[12:57] {Alexs} lol
[12:57] {dino} roflol
[12:57] {dino} ese needs to read atlas shrugged
01[12:57] {&Threei}  won't work... mind is made up
[12:58] {nemo} whose mind isn't?
01[12:59] {&Threei}  well, while it's true, I for one make a conscious effort to listen to the left message now and then, trying to see whether they come up with something constructive
01[12:59] {&Threei}  haven't succeeded yet in finding it... but it's good to keep one's brain exercised and mind flecible
[13:00] {nemo} even if your spelling sucks
01[13:00] {&Threei}  it's not spelling
[13:00] {+cc_9} I think its probably safe to call it a weel.
01[13:00] {&Threei}  it's blind typing
[13:00] {+cc_9} week*
[13:01] {Alexs} now after all that discussion i feel like i red atlass twice
01[13:01] {&Threei}  Nikita Khrushchev's promise to show the United States a "Kuz'kina Mat'" at the 1960 United Nations General Assembly. The famous Russian idiom, which has been problematic for translators, literally meaning “to show somebody Kuzka's mother”, equates roughly with the English “We’ll show you!”
[13:01] {Alexs} read
[13:01] {nemo} yeah, the "We will bury you" speech
[13:01] {dino} cya cc9
01[13:02] {&Threei}  I still want one 1:3er, to put the day to about even
[13:02] {dino} dllr sm l .53 stop lod
[13:03] {+cc_9} dino, i mean there is not much else to trade.

[13:08] {+cc_9} can't leave yet, punchcard will show i left early to drink
[13:08] {dino} could use a few drinks
[13:09] {nemo} don't you keep a bottle in your desk, Dino?
[13:09] {nemo} not like you have to drive home
[13:10] {dino} wet bar 20 feet away, pool table, darts, free weights, etc. remodelled basement is my office area. 10x10 room for trades
[13:10] {nemo} thus my statement
[13:11] {dino} yeah, but don't drink and trade. will wait for 4 pm.
[13:12] {dino} hibb takes .00 it may spike
[13:17] {+cc_9} A juvenile has been arrested by Spokane police in connection with the beating death of an 88-year-old World War II veteran this week, police said Friday.

[13:19] {dino} funny, no sharpton on the 2 guys that killed the college kid. reverse
[13:19] {+cc_9} The motive? Police don't have one. The teens appeared to have picked him at random, authorities say.
[13:19] {nemo} no sharpton, no Obama, no Jessie
[13:19] {dino} my point
[13:19] {nemo} I know
[13:19] {+cc_9} is this a coincidence that teens are randomly killing people just as school is about to start ?
[13:19] {dino} meanwhile zimmermans head was getting pounded into the sidewalk
[13:20] {nemo} thinning the herd
[13:20] {+cc_9} Netflix should play re-runs of that trial.
[13:20] {+cc_9} "it sound like wet grass sir"
[13:20] {+cc_9} "that's retarded, sir"
[13:20] {nemo} What I get a kick out of is all the bad information about that case taken as fact
[13:20] {dino} "could have been me" obummer. why? do you pound heads off of sidewalks
