[06:13] {bruce} hi vad
[06:15] {Threei} BIDZ formed breakout pattern on chart with .40 trigger... honestly I am not too jazzed about it

[08:03] {Threei} it had huge bid at .75 when lost .80
[08:03] {BillyD} u n at .99 or higher
[08:03] {Threei} .05
[08:04] {Threei} felt to me like it was ready to bust than bid and drop to the center of Earth
[08:04] {Threei} wishful thinking that proved to be
[08:04] {Threei} than = that
[08:06] {BillyD} where's your stop on NVDA
[08:07] {Threei} that was question I just asked myself
[08:07] {Threei} I guess I'll trail it to above .10

[10:55] {BillyD} yup
[10:56] {bruce} is your win/loss ratio affected by time of day vad?
[10:56] {Threei} I decrease my activity midday as a rule
[10:57] {Threei} so no, not really... but it would if I pressed ahead all day
[10:57] {bruce} k
[10:57] {bruce} thats what I fugured
[10:58] {bruce} a lot of people don't trade at all after 11
[10:58] {Threei} well, here is always chance of a news play
[10:58] {Threei} or some other reason for atcivity
[10:58] {Threei} so it's not like I withdraw completely
[10:58] {Threei} but I aam much more picky
[10:59] {Threei} it would take more for a stock to lure me in
[10:59] {BillyD} u just play hard to get then
[10:59] {Threei} marginal setup that I may take at 10 I will ingore at 12
[10:59] {Threei} right
[10:59] {BillyD} that is the best way to play it imo
[11:00] {bruce} biggest moves are usually in am
[11:00] {BillyD} people usually full of enrgy first thing
[11:01] {bruce} but there seems to be a lot of major selloffs during lunch time over last few months
[11:01] {Threei} 2 min till Beige bunch of nonsense
[11:02] {Threei} *FED'S BEIGE BOOK: ECONOMY EXPANDING AT SLOWER PACE
[11:02] {Threei} wow
[11:03] {Threei} I am impressed by the depth of insight
[11:04] {BillyD} out more Jadew
[11:05] {BillyD} out rest
[11:05] {Threei} - Retail spending is relatively soft, retailers expect slow holiday season
[11:05] {Threei} - Manufacturers mixed across districts, glut of home putting pressure on prices and construction, business loans high, lending tight on consumer loans, mortgage delinquincies rose significantly
[11:05] {Threei} - Price pressures moderate outside of food and energy
[11:05] {Threei} - Exports are bright spot due to weaker USD
[11:05] {Threei} - Chicago sees higher steel production due to less competition because of the weaker USD
[11:06] {Threei} and market was waiting for this to come out?
[11:06] {BillyD} beat a ded horse
[11:06] {BillyD} dead
[11:13] {lumdus} nvls setting up
[11:14] {Threei} 27 break?
[11:15] {Threei} RMBS too is about to trigger - for those who like being tortured
[11:15] {Threei} .120 support
[11:15] {Threei} .10
[11:21] {Threei} FED'S FISHER: TOO SOON TO TELL IF RATE CUTS WENT FAR ENOUGH
[11:21] {Threei} - Fed decisions to be based on incoming data
[11:21] {Threei} - says right now markets are still brittle, but the Fed will not be bullied by markets
[11:21] {Threei} -says unsure if inflation rate will decelerate; biggest inflation threats are energy and food prices
[11:21] {dino} out conn .84, +.24
[11:32] {Threei} wow... haven't seen market that flat in a while
[11:46] {BillyD} maybe look for some shorts if mkt continues to drift down
[11:47] {Threei} well NVDA and BRCM are obvious candidates, they repeat NQ formation
[11:48] {Threei} it's that I don't have rel;iable read on NQ
[11:48] {BillyD} it seems small support levels all the way down
[11:51] {Threei} there is just no "stream" of activity
[11:51] {Threei} there is a trickle
[11:51] {Threei} drop here drop there
[11:51] {Threei} it's not a foundation for a read
[11:51] {Threei} see this spike?
[11:51] {Threei} was there anything to read it?
[11:51] {BillyD} yes
[11:52] {BillyD} is vol low for NQ
[11:52] {Threei} and both NVDA and BRCM reacted accordingly
[11:52] {BillyD} it was like that yesterday to
[11:53] {BillyD} the spikes from nowhere
[11:53] {Threei} don't fool yourself, it's simply "no action because no reason for action" situation
[11:53] {Threei} it's not that we are unable to find it - it's simply not there
[11:53] {Threei} fals "work ethics" push us to do something in such situations
[11:53] {BillyD} I feel better now
[11:54] {Threei} false
[11:55] {BillyD} and we are up 316
[11:55] {Threei} if you put me me in the corner and demand at gunpoint to pick direction - I would pick up
[11:56] {BillyD} I would never do that to you...sounds harsh
[11:56] {BillyD} lol
[11:56] {Threei} with cannon at my temple I could even enter :)
[11:56] * BillyD sends dirty harry to Vad's house
[11:57] * Threei put Yuri the Kneecapshooter and Ivan the Enforcer to guard the door
[11:57] {BillyD} rflol
[11:59] {Threei} just to keep you all from falling asleep
[12:00] {Threei} why would I pick up rather than down?
[12:00] {Threei} anyone, wild guess? or educated one?
[12:00] * Threei slaps LaserDave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:00] {BillyD} because crowd mindset is up
[12:00] {BillyD} trend
[12:00] {Threei} up to this point, yes
[12:01] {Threei} what about this particular moment?
[12:01] {BillyD} held last suupport
[12:02] {BillyD} thru prior resistance
[12:02] {BillyD} now
[12:02] {Threei} being up 320 NYSE, 65 NASDAQ,
[12:02] {Threei} retreating a little from highs,
[12:02] {Threei} having nothing but bleak outlook from feds
[12:03] {Threei} isn't down too obvious?
[12:03] {Threei} having very very dull market after such run,
[12:03] {BillyD} people numb to it
[12:03] {Threei} isn't it's the best illustration to "never short a dull market"?
[12:04] {Threei} if there is any significance to it, this dullness is masking a trap
[12:04] {BillyD} dull markets can come in downtrends as well right
[12:04] {Threei} sure
[12:04] {Threei} but this combination screams down
[12:04] {Threei} and when something is so "in my face", I refuse to take it at face value
[12:05] {BillyD} but the hanging around of it says otherwise?
[12:05] {Threei} that's suckers game
[12:05] {Threei} it suggests higher chance for it to be a trap, and market to stage surprize rally
[12:05] {BillyD} meaning it's hanging around near high areaqs
[12:05] {Threei} now, there may be not any signifcance to this combination,
[12:06] {Threei} and it could be caused by simple loss of orientaion
[12:06] {Threei} and that's why I don't want to press either way
[12:06] {Threei} but if I had to assign any meaning to this situation
[12:06] {Threei} it would be:
[12:07] {Threei} this is a trap for gullible shorters
[12:07] {Threei} and market is going to explode in their face
[12:07] {Threei} faces?
[12:07] {BillyD} quiet before the storm
[12:09] {BillyD} most stocks bifg and small seem to follow broader mkt lately
[12:09] {BillyD} not too many independents
[12:09] {Threei} oh, it's just a phasw
[12:09] {Threei} phase
[12:09] {Threei} no pronpunced manias last week or two, that's all
[12:10] {Threei} we lived through two manias recently, china and solars
[12:10] {Threei} another one is around the corner
[12:10] {BillyD} overall, most not sure whereto go
[12:11] {BillyD} traders that is
[12:11] {Threei} martial arts principle... "not sure what to do - make a step forward"
[12:11] {Threei} :)
[12:11] {BillyD} long vs short
[12:12] {Threei} NVDA is up 20 cents since we decided no ahort
[12:12] {Threei} consider it profit in a sense... money not lost :)
[12:12] {BillyD} ty Vad
[12:12] {BillyD} mkt getting ready
[12:12] {Threei} new highs
[12:14] {Threei} why don't I write a book about this
[12:14] {Threei} wait... I did
[12:14] {BillyD} pg # please
[12:14] {Threei} correction: why don't I read it
[12:14] {Threei} all of them
[12:15] {Threei} entire book is about this
[12:15] {Threei} first one at least
[12:15] {BillyD} minority vs majority
[12:15] {Threei} major idea of tape reading, yes

[12:52] {Threei} of course I am
[12:52] {BillyD} or the cosnsistent cy
[12:52] {Threei} I could read it just about right not be sucked in on any side,

[06:12] {Threei} [15:12] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[06:12] {Threei} [15:12] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {Threei} believe you me
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[06:12] {Threei} [15:14] {BillyD} lol
[06:13] {Threei} [15:15] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[06:14] {esemde} your assuming i actually know what i'm doing.....
[06:14] {Threei} one of us should...
[06:14] {bruce} ese
[06:15] {esemde} morning bruce
[06:16] {cosmo} ATVI

[06:20] {Threei} be back in 5
[06:25] {bruce} yep ese - market rises all summer during traditional "flat" period
[06:25] {bruce} then dumps during traditinal christmas rally
[06:25] {bruce} go figure
[06:25] {esemde} ATVI looks good cos got an entry point in mind....
[06:26] {cosmo} it was only a turkey rally, i say
[06:26] {Threei} no pattern work that reliably
[06:26] {BillyD} well bru8ce...anything can and will happen in the mkt.....never fails
[06:26] {Threei} it would be too easy
[06:26] {cosmo} watch the open for a pull back....maybe
[06:27] {cosmo} should hold 20.50
[06:27] {cosmo} must hold...actually
[06:28] {esemde} never ceases to amaze me....some goof just casually mentions that this credit crunch might not be over and at 2:30 BAM....
[06:28] {BillyD} people are nervous
[06:29] {BillyD} and that goof is probably right
[06:29] {cosmo} hmm ... open break
[06:30] {cosmo} should hold 20.70
[06:31] {esemde} that looks like support on pull back
[06:32] {cosmo} support
[06:32] {cosmo} 21 tests
[06:32] {esemde} yep
[06:32] {cosmo} oops
[06:33] {cosmo} not much of a test

[07:19] {BillyD} out BRCM -.17
[07:26] {BillyD} .
[07:26] {Threei} good point
[07:33] {Threei} what a hystreical market
[07:34] {BillyD} crazy
[07:39] {BillyD} the NQ spikes seem to stop you out of what looks to be good setups
[07:39] {Threei} expanding range
[07:40] {BillyD} ?
[07:42] {Threei} TTR page 141
[07:42] {BillyD} roflol
[07:43] {Threei} what... I said everything already, lol
[07:43] {BillyD} the first sentence
[07:43] {BillyD} The expanding range is the worst market ever
[07:44] {BillyD} encountered
[07:44] {Threei} read the description and explanation how it grinds you, you will recognize the action
[07:45] {Threei} dream come true... instead of answering any question I simply name the page... :)
[07:46] {BillyD} so true...so wouldn't playing the moves aggressively near te ranges be better....
[07:46] {Threei} yes... and the worst thing about this kind of day is that it's nearly impossible to recognize early
[07:46] {Threei} intuition may be helpful sometimes... not always
[07:46] {BillyD} it's kind of been this way for a while though
[07:47] {Threei} noticed how I stopped activity at some point?
[07:47] {BillyD} some days more or less than others
[07:47] {BillyD} yes
[07:47] {BillyD} it seems get your scalp and get out
[07:53] {BillyD} VAD..what type of psychological state attributes to this kind of mkt
[07:53] {Threei} maniac-depressive
[07:53] {BillyD} lol
[07:54] {BillyD} people just tweaked
[07:59] {Threei} RIMM 114.50 break should be big long catalyst
[07:59] {Threei} let's see what happens
[07:59] {Threei} not playing it here, just want to watch whether patterns are back in action
[07:59] {BillyD} ok
[07:59] {BillyD} any stocks in mind
[08:00] {Threei} not at the moment
[08:02] {Threei} not too bad RIMM
[08:03] {Threei} BRCM .98 short
[08:03] {Threei} 27.03 stop
[08:03] {Threei} and don't laugh
[08:04] {BillyD} I' not
[08:06] {BillyD} tgt area?
[08:07] {Threei} what is NQ going to do?
[08:07] {BillyD} got it
[08:07] {Threei} :)
[08:08] {Threei} if expanding range pattern holds, drop all the way
[08:08] {Threei} if not, who knows
[08:08] {Threei} stop is just 5 cents, play by the book
[08:09] {Threei} half out
[08:09] {Threei} 1:2
[08:09] {Threei} 27.01 stop
[08:09] {BillyD} same here
[08:09] {Threei} let' it trade or take profit, whatever you fancy
[08:13] {Threei} hmmm... interesting disconnect between NQ and RIMM
[08:14] {BillyD} out some more here
[08:18] {BillyD} out rest ty
[08:18] {Threei} welcome

[08:30] {Threei} not really
[08:30] {bruce} k
[08:31] {bruce} was expecting something like - ttr - page 122 = paragraph 3
[08:31] {Threei} lol
[08:32] {bruce} new training mode
[08:32] {BillyD} I've been keeping my TTR book next to me
[08:32] {bruce} I cuddle with it at night
[08:33] {Threei} uh oh
[08:33] {bruce} lol
[08:34] {Threei} ETFC HEARING BOUTIQUE FIRM SPECULATES E*TRADE COULD BE BOUGHT OUT FOR AROUND $10/SHR
[08:34] {Threei} sigh
[08:37] {bruce} sndk?
[08:38] {Threei} a bit too volatile for my taste... with .40 trigger stop would have to be .10
[08:38] {Threei} if it's tolerable for you, why not
[08:42] {Threei} if you took it, trail stop to .24
[08:46] {bruce} out - got .36 entry and out .5
[08:46] {Threei} scalps r us
[08:47] {bruce} about sums it up
[08:53] {Threei} NVDA long with stop under .50 if NQ shows bounce
[08:54] {Threei} if losing .50 let it be
[08:55] {cosmo} or let it bleed
[09:06] {Threei} LDK seems to be nearing the "drama unfolding" levels
[09:07] {Threei} and all this time it's unavailable for shorting...
[09:11] {Threei} what a trap in the morning BIDZ, eh?
[09:12] {BillyD} since yesterday morning at 20
[09:17] {BillyD} someone throw mud on this mkt
[09:17] {BillyD} like sludge
[09:29] {Threei} EFII
[09:29] {Threei} half lot .40 long
[09:29] {Threei} .29 stop
[09:31] {Threei} FED'S PLOSSER: ECONOMY TO GROW MORE SLOWLY IN COMING MONTHS DESPITE RATE CUT; IF INFLATION PICKS UP, FED MAY NEED TO RAISE RATE
[09:31] {Threei} - repeats Oct cut was largely a risk management move; economic risks not one sided
[09:31] {Threei} - rise in oil, commodities prices suggest significant inflation pressure exist; price expectations are 'more fragile' that 4 months ago; recent
[09:31] {Threei} inflation data has been encouraging
[09:31] {Threei} - says Fed expects economy to rebound by mid 2008 to trend
[09:41] {bruce} nvda broke
[09:44] {Threei} EFII stop to .34
[09:59] {Threei} BIDZ SCHEDULES 4:30PMET CONF CALL TO RESPOND TO A NEGATIVE "RESEARCH REPORT" FROM CITRON RESEARCH YESTERDAY
[10:05] {Threei} no idea what irt means:
[10:05] {Threei} DELL SIMPLIFIES SEARCH WITH GOOG, TO SELL SEARCH APPLIANCES
[10:05] {Threei} minesweepers?
[10:23] {BillyD} any feel for mkt direction here Vad
[10:26] {Threei} pick any
[10:26] {Threei} will be equally valid
[10:26] {Threei} it's just period with no activity at all right now
[10:26] {Threei} it resolves itself into whatever
[10:26] {Threei} up is a little nbit more likely
[10:26] {BillyD} seems so
[10:26] {Threei} but not enough to commit
[10:46] {Threei} market is still locked in tight range
[10:46] {Threei} don't push anything for now
[10:46] {Threei} activity is likely to pick up soon
[10:49] {Threei} ZIXI
[10:49] {Threei} JUSTICE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION SELECTS ZIX CORPORATION FOR EMAIL ENCRYPTION SERVICE
[10:49] {Threei} fluff...
[10:51] {Threei} MLNM .49 short
[10:51] {Threei} just a scalp
[10:53] {Threei} aggressive entry with .61 stop
[10:59] {BillyD} out
[10:59] {Threei} yeah, stronger than market
[10:59] {BillyD} mind of its own
[11:01] {BillyD} JADE
[11:05] {Threei} Feds nonsense on wires again
[11:05] {Threei} FED'S EVANS: OVERLY ACCOMODATIVE POLICY COULD ENDANGER PRICE STABILITY
[11:05] {Threei} - Notes potential US GDP growth now 'slightly above 2.5%", yet 'good deal of uncertainty' in economy, including reduced liquidity as key economic growth risk
[11:05] {Threei} FED OCT DISCOUNT RATE MEETING MINUTES: 6 OF 12 BANKS SAY POSITIVE DATA AND IMPROVING MARKETS
[11:05] {Threei} aand other 6 say negative and deteriorating?
[11:06] {Threei} make your pick
[11:06] {BillyD} no wonder maniac-depressive
[11:10] {Threei} let's see if we get bounce to short into
[11:10] {Threei} feels like down is going to be the theme for the rest of the day
[11:11] {Threei} NVDA, as close to .60 as possible
[11:11] {Threei} BRCM closer to .80
[11:13] {Threei} if no bounce and NQ continues down, NVDA .35 short
[11:13] {Threei} with stop above the high of current bounce
[11:16] {Threei} NVDA keeps its head down
[11:16] {Threei} most likely short candidate
[11:16] {BillyD} BRCM more iffy
[11:16] {Threei} yeah, BRCM follows NQ to the letter while NVDA is weaker
[11:18] {BillyD} right thru it
[11:18] {Threei} NVDA is dancing to the tune
[11:20] {BillyD} sheesh took small scalp on JADE and keeps it going
[11:20] {BillyD} .46 stop on NVDA or .47
[11:21] {Threei} .47
[11:28] {Threei} die already NVDA
[11:28] {BillyD} yeah
[11:29] {BillyD} I added more on bounce into low .40's and cov'd 1/2 .29
[11:30] {BillyD} that blk earlier didn't help
[11:38] {Threei} I parroted you billy
[11:38] {Threei} hope you'll forgive me
[11:39] {Threei} .43 - .31, second lot :)
[11:39] {BillyD} :)
[11:39] {Threei} fiiinally
[11:40] {Threei} covered half of first lot
[11:40] {Threei} sheesh, it's getting complicated
[11:40] {Threei} need calculator
[11:40] {BillyD} out rest here
[11:40] {Threei} ah come on
[11:41] {Threei} sure... leave me alone with this wierdo
[11:41] {BillyD} u r just tougher than me
[11:41] {Threei} no, I am more lazy
[11:41] {Threei} I don't want to be clicking that often
[11:42] {BillyD} it seems the ones I have tried to hold on to, I end up regretting
[11:42] {Threei} (truth be told, I am greedy )
[11:42] {Threei} I can't blame you, on serious note
[11:42] {Threei} market's been whippy today
[11:43] {Threei} it's just that I am having quite nice day with morning plays,
[11:43] {Threei} this one worked nicely with two lots too
[11:43] {BillyD} my situation different than yours I know
[11:43] {Threei} so I have luxury to try and milk it
[11:43] {Threei} yes sir
[11:43] {Threei} never mind my blabbing
[11:43] {BillyD} I have to trade it according to that
[11:44] {BillyD} you say something?
[11:44] {Threei} my feeling is, all htese bounces last 30 min or so is nothing but shakeout attempts
[11:44] {Threei} and we are to see more selling
[11:45] {BillyD} honestly, earlier when Fed made comments and mkt went up I was very surpised
[11:45] {BillyD} hinting towardss no rate cut
[11:45] {Threei} come to papa NVDA
[11:45] {BillyD} very nice
[11:46] {Threei} out
[11:46] {Threei} .03
[11:46] {BillyD} well done
[11:46] {Threei} was it fried to perfection or what
[11:47] {cosmo} ATVI holds21 ...so far
[11:47] {BillyD} we'll see
[11:47] {Threei} I won't
[11:47] {Threei} I take it off screen
[11:47] {BillyD} lol...smart man
[11:47] {Threei} in my mind it was perfect trade even if drops another point :)
[11:47] {Threei} make sure and don't tell me
[11:47] {Threei} (yeah right)
[11:47] {BillyD} that would be mean
[11:48] {Threei} and mean is not what we do here of course
[11:48] {Threei} no sir
[11:48] {Threei} ATVI is suprizingly strong cos...
[11:49] {Threei} hey I peeked... 20 cents bounce NVDA, me happy with my cover
[12:00] {Threei} NQ came into resistance
[12:00] {Threei} watching NVDA for another short
[12:01] {BillyD} how about BRCM
[12:01] {Threei} less willing
[12:01] {BillyD} ok
[12:03] {BillyD} say when
[12:03] {Threei} in
[12:03] {Threei} ugh
[12:03] {Threei} was too fast billy, sorry
[12:04] {BillyD} np
[12:04] {Threei} got .28
[12:04] {Threei} just a scalp
[12:04] {BillyD} have order there
[12:04] {Threei} not counting on much
[12:04] {Threei} out 3/4
[12:05] {BillyD} my NDX bars have gaps of space shoing jumps on these little moves
[12:05] {BillyD} showing
[12:07] {Threei} out in full, losing read here
[12:08] {Threei} feeling is the same, it just becomes a bit too jerky
[12:09] {Threei} notice how BRCM is utterly useless
[12:09] {BillyD} yes
[12:09] {Threei} wouldn't give as much as readable 10 cents
[12:13] {Threei} is it jerky or is it jerky
[12:14] {BillyD} thinking of short but too crazy
[12:14] * Threei sends flowers to his intuition, it works full power today
[12:14] {BillyD} it's almost the only way it seems....intuition
[12:15] {Threei} well... what's inuition if not experience colletcted over years and applied without thinking involved
[12:15] {Threei} "without thinking" is my favorite part
[12:15] {Threei} thinking is too much like work
[12:16] {Threei} and I lost my thinking hat somewhere in bowels of washer
[12:24] {cosmo} Santa wants ATVI
[12:26] {Threei} was a great long off support... sorry I missed it
[12:29] {BillyD} look at that drop down
[12:30] {Threei} it fits into general read I gave earlier... but renders it useless too
[12:31] {bruce} cmtl - risky - any read?
[12:32] {Threei} no... too thin
[12:33] {bruce} k
[12:39] {Threei} whatever it was, I hope traders had fun with it... sheesh
[12:39] {Threei} glad to be on a sideline
[12:40] {BillyD} I ss NVDA at .36 area on the bounce and cov'd at .40 on that spike
[12:41] {BillyD} too crazy
[12:41] {Threei} it's untradeable
[12:41] {BillyD} yeah....I shorted into resistance with small stop
[12:41] {BillyD} worth a try

[06:12] {Threei} [15:12] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[06:12] {Threei} [15:12] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {Threei} believe you me
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[06:12] {Threei} [15:13] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[06:12] {Threei} [15:14] {BillyD} lol
[06:13] {Threei} [15:15] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[06:14] {esemde} your assuming i actually know what i'm doing.....
[06:14] {Threei} one of us should...
[06:14] {bruce} ese
[06:15] {esemde} morning bruce
[06:16] {cosmo} ATVI

[06:18] {esemde} fickle market....it dumped 200pts on you all yesterday once again.....
[06:20] {Threei} be back in 5
[06:25] {bruce} yep ese - market rises all summer during traditional "flat" period
[06:25] {bruce} then dumps during traditinal christmas rally
[06:25] {bruce} go figure
[06:25] {esemde} ATVI looks good cos got an entry point in mind....
[06:26] {cosmo} it was only a turkey rally, i say
[06:26] {Threei} no pattern work that reliably
[06:26] {BillyD} well bru8ce...anything can and will happen in the mkt.....never fails
[06:26] {Threei} it would be too easy
[06:26] {cosmo} watch the open for a pull back....maybe
[06:27] {cosmo} should hold 20.50
[06:27] {cosmo} must hold...actually
[06:28] {esemde} never ceases to amaze me....some goof just casually mentions that this credit crunch might not be over and at 2:30 BAM....
[06:28] {BillyD} people are nervous
[06:29] {BillyD} and that goof is probably right
[06:29] {cosmo} hmm ... open break
[06:30] {cosmo} should hold 20.70
[06:31] {esemde} that looks like support on pull back
[06:32] {cosmo} support
[06:32] {cosmo} 21 tests
[06:32] {esemde} yep
[06:32] {cosmo} oops
[06:33] {cosmo} not much of a test
[06:33] {esemde} look at that go
[06:33] {Threei} let it pull back or consolidate, IMO
[06:34] {bruce} bidz dump
[06:36] {Threei} .80 support for a stop placement

[07:26] {Threei} good point
[07:33] {Threei} what a hystreical market
[07:34] {BillyD} crazy
[07:39] {BillyD} the NQ spikes seem to stop you out of what looks to be good setups
[07:39] {Threei} expanding range
[07:40] {BillyD} ?
[07:42] {Threei} TTR page 141
[07:42] {BillyD} roflol
[07:43] {Threei} what... I said everything already, lol
[07:43] {BillyD} the first sentence
[07:43] {BillyD} The expanding range is the worst market ever
[07:44] {BillyD} encountered
[07:44] {Threei} read the description and explanation how it grinds you, you will recognize the action
[07:45] {Threei} dream come true... instead of answering any question I simply name the page... :)
[07:46] {BillyD} so true...so wouldn't playing the moves aggressively near te ranges be better....
[07:46] {Threei} yes... and the worst thing about this kind of day is that it's nearly impossible to recognize early
[07:46] {Threei} intuition may be helpful sometimes... not always
[07:46] {BillyD} it's kind of been this way for a while though
[07:47] {Threei} noticed how I stopped activity at some point?

[08:08] {Threei} if expanding range pattern holds, drop all the way
[08:08] {Threei} if not, who knows
[08:08] {Threei} stop is just 5 cents, play by the book
[08:09] {Threei} half out
[08:09] {Threei} 1:2
[08:09] {Threei} 27.01 stop
[08:09] {BillyD} same here

[08:31] {Threei} lol
[08:32] {bruce} new training mode
[08:32] {BillyD} I've been keeping my TTR book next to me
[08:32] {bruce} I cuddle with it at night
[08:33] {Threei} uh oh
[08:33] {bruce} lol
[08:34] {Threei} ETFC HEARING BOUTIQUE FIRM SPECULATES E*TRADE COULD BE BOUGHT OUT FOR AROUND $10/SHR
[08:34] {Threei} sigh
[08:37] {bruce} sndk?
[08:38] {Threei} a bit too volatile for my taste... with .40 trigger stop would have to be .10
[08:38] {Threei} if it's tolerable for you, why not
[08:42] {Threei} if you took it, trail stop to .24
[08:46] {bruce} out - got .36 entry and out .5
[08:46] {Threei} scalps r us
[08:47] {bruce} about sums it up
[08:53] {Threei} NVDA long with stop under .50 if NQ shows bounce
[08:54] {Threei} if losing .50 let it be
[08:55] {cosmo} or let it bleed
[09:06] {Threei} LDK seems to be nearing the "drama unfolding" levels
[09:07] {Threei} and all this time it's unavailable for shorting...
[09:11] {Threei} what a trap in the morning BIDZ, eh?
[09:12] {BillyD} since yesterday morning at 20
[09:17] {BillyD} someone throw mud on this mkt
[09:17] {BillyD} like sludge
[09:29] {Threei} EFII
[09:29] {Threei} half lot .40 long
[09:29] {Threei} .29 stop
[09:31] {Threei} FED'S PLOSSER: ECONOMY TO GROW MORE SLOWLY IN COMING MONTHS DESPITE RATE CUT; IF INFLATION PICKS UP, FED MAY NEED TO RAISE RATE
[09:31] {Threei} - repeats Oct cut was largely a risk management move; economic risks not one sided
[09:31] {Threei} - rise in oil, commodities prices suggest significant inflation pressure exist; price expectations are 'more fragile' that 4 months ago; recent
[09:31] {Threei} inflation data has been encouraging
[09:31] {Threei} - says Fed expects economy to rebound by mid 2008 to trend
[09:41] {bruce} nvda broke
[09:44] {Threei} EFII stop to .34
[09:59] {Threei} BIDZ SCHEDULES 4:30PMET CONF CALL TO RESPOND TO A NEGATIVE "RESEARCH REPORT" FROM CITRON RESEARCH YESTERDAY
[10:05] {Threei} no idea what irt means:
[10:05] {Threei} DELL SIMPLIFIES SEARCH WITH GOOG, TO SELL SEARCH APPLIANCES
[10:05] {Threei} minesweepers?
[10:23] {BillyD} any feel for mkt direction here Vad
[10:26] {Threei} pick any
[10:26] {Threei} will be equally valid
[10:26] {Threei} it's just period with no activity at all right now
[10:26] {Threei} it resolves itself into whatever
[10:26] {Threei} up is a little nbit more likely
[10:26] {BillyD} seems so
[10:26] {Threei} but not enough to commit
[10:46] {Threei} market is still locked in tight range
[10:46] {Threei} don't push anything for now
[10:46] {Threei} activity is likely to pick up soon
[10:49] {Threei} ZIXI
[10:49] {Threei} JUSTICE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION SELECTS ZIX CORPORATION FOR EMAIL ENCRYPTION SERVICE
[10:49] {Threei} fluff...
[10:51] {Threei} MLNM .49 short
[10:51] {Threei} just a scalp
[10:53] {Threei} aggressive entry with .61 stop
[10:59] {BillyD} out
[10:59] {Threei} yeah, stronger than market
[10:59] {BillyD} mind of its own
[11:01] {BillyD} JADE
[11:05] {Threei} Feds nonsense on wires again
[11:05] {Threei} FED'S EVANS: OVERLY ACCOMODATIVE POLICY COULD ENDANGER PRICE STABILITY
[11:05] {Threei} - Notes potential US GDP growth now 'slightly above 2.5%", yet 'good deal of uncertainty' in economy, including reduced liquidity as key economic growth risk
[11:05] {Threei} FED OCT DISCOUNT RATE MEETING MINUTES: 6 OF 12 BANKS SAY POSITIVE DATA AND IMPROVING MARKETS
[11:05] {Threei} aand other 6 say negative and deteriorating?
[11:06] {Threei} make your pick
[11:06] {BillyD} no wonder maniac-depressive
[11:10] {Threei} let's see if we get bounce to short into
[11:10] {Threei} feels like down is going to be the theme for the rest of the day
[11:11] {Threei} NVDA, as close to .60 as possible
[11:11] {Threei} BRCM closer to .80
[11:13] {Threei} if no bounce and NQ continues down, NVDA .35 short
[11:13] {Threei} with stop above the high of current bounce
[11:16] {Threei} NVDA keeps its head down
[11:16] {Threei} most likely short candidate
[11:16] {BillyD} BRCM more iffy
[11:16] {Threei} yeah, BRCM follows NQ to the letter while NVDA is weaker
[11:18] {BillyD} right thru it
[11:18] {Threei} NVDA is dancing to the tune
[11:20] {BillyD} sheesh took small scalp on JADE and keeps it going
[11:20] {BillyD} .46 stop on NVDA or .47
[11:21] {Threei} .47
[11:28] {Threei} die already NVDA
[11:28] {BillyD} yeah
[11:29] {BillyD} I added more on bounce into low .40's and cov'd 1/2 .29
[11:30] {BillyD} that blk earlier didn't help
[11:38] {Threei} I parroted you billy
[11:38] {Threei} hope you'll forgive me
[11:39] {Threei} .43 - .31, second lot :)
[11:39] {BillyD} :)
[11:39] {Threei} fiiinally
[11:40] {Threei} covered half of first lot
[11:40] {Threei} sheesh, it's getting complicated
[11:40] {Threei} need calculator
[11:40] {BillyD} out rest here
[11:40] {Threei} ah come on
[11:41] {Threei} sure... leave me alone with this wierdo
[11:41] {BillyD} u r just tougher than me
[11:41] {Threei} no, I am more lazy
[11:41] {Threei} I don't want to be clicking that often
[11:42] {BillyD} it seems the ones I have tried to hold on to, I end up regretting
[11:42] {Threei} (truth be told, I am greedy )
[11:42] {Threei} I can't blame you, on serious note
[11:42] {Threei} market's been whippy today
[11:43] {Threei} it's just that I am having quite nice day with morning plays,
[11:43] {Threei} this one worked nicely with two lots too
[11:43] {BillyD} my situation different than yours I know
[11:43] {Threei} so I have luxury to try and milk it
[11:43] {Threei} yes sir
[11:43] {Threei} never mind my blabbing
[11:43] {BillyD} I have to trade it according to that
[11:44] {BillyD} you say something?
[11:44] {Threei} my feeling is, all htese bounces last 30 min or so is nothing but shakeout attempts
[11:44] {Threei} and we are to see more selling
[11:45] {BillyD} honestly, earlier when Fed made comments and mkt went up I was very surpised
[11:45] {BillyD} hinting towardss no rate cut
[11:45] {Threei} come to papa NVDA
[11:45] {BillyD} very nice
[11:46] {Threei} out
[11:46] {Threei} .03
[11:46] {BillyD} well done
[11:46] {Threei} was it fried to perfection or what
[11:47] {cosmo} ATVI holds21 ...so far
[11:47] {BillyD} we'll see
[11:47] {Threei} I won't
[11:47] {Threei} I take it off screen
[11:47] {BillyD} lol...smart man
[11:47] {Threei} in my mind it was perfect trade even if drops another point :)
[11:47] {Threei} make sure and don't tell me
[11:47] {Threei} (yeah right)
[11:47] {BillyD} that would be mean
[11:48] {Threei} and mean is not what we do here of course
[11:48] {Threei} no sir
[11:48] {Threei} ATVI is suprizingly strong cos...
[11:49] {Threei} hey I peeked... 20 cents bounce NVDA, me happy with my cover
[12:00] {Threei} NQ came into resistance
[12:00] {Threei} watching NVDA for another short
[12:01] {BillyD} how about BRCM
[12:01] {Threei} less willing
[12:01] {BillyD} ok
[12:03] {BillyD} say when
[12:03] {Threei} in
[12:03] {Threei} ugh
[12:03] {Threei} was too fast billy, sorry
[12:04] {BillyD} np
[12:04] {Threei} got .28
[12:04] {Threei} just a scalp
[12:04] {BillyD} have order there
[12:04] {Threei} not counting on much
[12:04] {Threei} out 3/4
[12:05] {BillyD} my NDX bars have gaps of space shoing jumps on these little moves
[12:05] {BillyD} showing
[12:07] {Threei} out in full, losing read here
[12:08] {Threei} feeling is the same, it just becomes a bit too jerky
[12:09] {Threei} notice how BRCM is utterly useless
[12:09] {BillyD} yes
[12:09] {Threei} wouldn't give as much as readable 10 cents
[12:13] {Threei} is it jerky or is it jerky
[12:14] {BillyD} thinking of short but too crazy
[12:14] * Threei sends flowers to his intuition, it works full power today
[12:14] {BillyD} it's almost the only way it seems....intuition
[12:15] {Threei} well... what's inuition if not experience colletcted over years and applied without thinking involved
[12:15] {Threei} "without thinking" is my favorite part
[12:15] {Threei} thinking is too much like work
[12:16] {Threei} and I lost my thinking hat somewhere in bowels of washer
[12:24] {cosmo} Santa wants ATVI
[12:26] {Threei} was a great long off support... sorry I missed it
[12:29] {BillyD} look at that drop down
[12:30] {Threei} it fits into general read I gave earlier... but renders it useless too
[12:31] {bruce} cmtl - risky - any read?
[12:32] {Threei} no... too thin
[12:33] {bruce} k
[12:39] {Threei} whatever it was, I hope traders had fun with it... sheesh
[12:39] {Threei} glad to be on a sideline
[12:40] {BillyD} I ss NVDA at .36 area on the bounce and cov'd at .40 on that spike
[12:41] {BillyD} too crazy
[12:41] {Threei} it's untradeable
[12:41] {BillyD} yeah....I shorted into resistance with small stop
[12:41] {BillyD} worth a try

[06:22] {esemde} contract after contract

[06:49] {Threei} 10 cents stop, worth a try
[06:49] {Threei} stocks stays in red while NQ is up 13 points
[06:50] {Threei} wouldn't uptick more than 5 cents while NQ up 3 points

[06:53] {BillyD} lol...out in full ty
[06:53] {Threei} welcome :)
[06:53] {esemde} well done all enjoyed watching that....
[06:54] {Threei} only watching?
[06:54] {Threei} SCON?
[06:54] {esemde} yes i'm afraid so vad......tons of work on my desk here....
[06:54] {Threei} oh
[06:54] {Threei} sorry
[06:55] {esemde} am doing both.....busy season for me....
[06:55] {Threei} yeah, you described it last week
[06:55] {Threei} sounded intimidating :)
[06:55] {esemde} it is but fun.....still learning from you all though
[06:56] {Threei} stop to .71 for second half
[06:57] {bruce} was that capitulation trade vad?
[06:57] {esemde} i'm still participating in a small way....bought 100 shs of CSIQ at 14.50 frday to swing trade it
[06:57] {Threei} capitulstion?
[06:57] {Threei} capitulation is a long play on quick selloff
[06:57] {Threei} bottom fishin
[06:58] {Threei} that was short on relative weakness,
[06:58] {Threei} aggressive entry close to resistance
[06:58] {Threei} out BRCM
[06:58] {bruce} k - thoght it just menat overextended in either direction
[06:58] {Threei} overextended upward is euphoria,
[06:58] {BillyD} took MLMN for scalp earlier and it kept going
[06:59] {Threei} and in ane case, it refers to trend reversal play
[06:59] {Threei} BRCM short was trend continuation
[06:59] {bruce} yep - figured that
[06:59] {Threei} :)
[06:59] {Threei} wtg Billy
[06:59] {Threei} I can't come to agreement with this one
[06:59] {BillyD} ty...it was your mention from Friday
[07:00] {BillyD} well...reason for .18 scalp
[07:00] {Threei} yes... I just get shaken out on it more often than I get it right
[07:00] {Threei} its rhythm is not exactly my thing I guess
[07:02] {Threei} ESLR
[07:02] {Threei} trying to catch up with solar revival
[07:02] {BillyD} this one shakes me when it is back to normal
[07:02] {BillyD} JADE acting up
[07:03] {BillyD} not in or chasing here
[07:03] {Threei} DSTI too
[07:03] {Threei} don't jump on any of them
[07:04] {Threei} at this point it's unclear whether mania is back or it's just a water-testing
[07:04] {Threei} my personal feeling is, solar mania will be back and soon enough, but it's not on yet
[07:04] {esemde} DSTI is that solar as well
[07:04] {Threei} yup
[07:04] {Threei} (I think)
[07:05] {BillyD} DSTI....pick entry carefully
[07:05] {BillyD} lol
[07:05] {Threei} when it comes to fundamentals, sectors etc, double chech me please :)
[07:05] {esemde} my solar screen is a sea of green this morning
[07:05] {Roman} long JRJC
[07:06] {Roman} very small
[07:06] {Threei} to me, "it's forming a setup, risk is within my tolerance" is fundamental enough, lol
[07:07] {Threei} FSLR seems to be leading the charge
[07:07] {Threei} ASTI and SOLF are not too hot
[07:07] {Threei} so looks like at this point mania is not really widespread
[07:08] {BillyD} good observation
[07:08] {Threei} tail is not following the head confidently
[07:08] {BillyD} but there is a pulse
[07:10] {Threei} CSUN
[07:10] {Threei} no news that I see
[07:11] {Threei} you are up 2 points of your CSIQ ese
[07:11] {Threei} nicely done
[07:12] {Threei} my understanding is stop was under 14... so it's 1:1 here
[07:13] {Threei} scary trade:
[07:13] {Threei} SEED
[07:13] {Threei} 5.93 long
[07:13] {Threei} stop under .75
[07:14] {esemde} yes...100 shs...
[07:14] {esemde} my stop is at 14
[07:15] {esemde} am gonna let this ride for the rest of the day....and see what happens
[07:15] {Threei} figured that... "I am watching you... I am right behind your shoulder"... (in my best lame horror-movie voice)
[07:15] {esemde} slow and steady hopefully....
[07:16] {esemde} can't really make any money this way but a stress free way to participate until work load dies down a bit
[07:21] {BillyD} HOKU may be a short coming up here
[07:21] {BillyD} just so jumpy

[07:45] {Threei} FFIV... I am not delighted bruce
[07:45] {Threei} kind of marginal trade... not compelling

[09:29] {Threei} 12.94 stop
[09:29] {Threei} be careful with this one, it can be quite treacherous
[09:31] {bruce} thanks
[09:42] {Threei} BEAV stop to .14
[09:58] {Threei} DISH
[09:58] {Threei} MOVES HIGHER AFTER THESTREET.COM SAYS TALKS WITH AT&T HAVE COOLED BUT TALKS CONTINUE- source says talks are ongoing about a price in the $60's. Another source says the deal is still happening, just at a slower pace
[10:06] {bruce} daily volume on beav has been dropping last few days vad
[10:06] {bruce} what makes it a good intraday candidate today?
[10:07] {Threei} intraday setup?
[10:07] {bruce} lol
[10:07] {Threei} there is clean JBE on 1 min
[10:07] {bruce} I'm leery of long consolidations
[10:07] {Threei} lower volume on Fri- it was half day don't forget
[10:08] {bruce} I see the [pattern OK but have seen them fail a lot
[10:08] {bruce} true
[10:09] {Threei} in any case, it hit 1:1 twice
[10:09] {Threei} and does it now for a third time
[10:11] {bruce} yup- worked well
[10:11] {bruce} it'sa really obvious pattern
[10:12] {bruce} and I've had a really low succes rate
[10:12] {bruce} with that long breakout pattern
[10:12] {Threei} this is one of my most traded patterns... with very nice success rate
[10:12] {Threei} most of my calls you see are of this kind
[10:14] {bruce} for me - the short consolidations rok fine
[10:14] {bruce} the ones over 30 minutes fail a lot
[10:14] {Threei} this is normal
[10:14] {Threei} same thing with most breakout setups
[10:14] {Threei} triangles are famous for this pattern for instance:
[10:15] {Threei} if breeak occurs with 2/3 till apex, chance of successful break is much higher
[10:15] {Threei} with = within
[10:15] {bruce} k
[10:15] {bruce} neverr put a number to it
[10:15] {bruce} but have noticed exactly that
[10:15] {bruce} the longer they continue
[10:15] {Threei} if I remember correct, TTR mentions this distinctions too
[10:15] {bruce} less likely they will work
[10:16] {bruce} they're beautiful fakeouts
[10:16] {bruce} suck more and more people in - then reverse
[10:18] {Threei} open your copy of TTR, page 142

[10:44] {BillyD} gj
[10:44] {Threei} booooring trade
[10:45] {Threei} but, you know... bore me with profit
[10:45] {BillyD} profitable
[10:45] {Threei} I am willing to be bored all the way to the bank
[11:00] {bruce} nice play w beqav vad
[11:00] {Threei} ty
[11:00] {Threei} too bad BRCM choose to shake us out first
[11:00] {Threei} would be a very nice short
[11:00] {Threei} especially if we went into coma and forgot we had it
[11:01] {bruce} lol
[11:01] {bruce} I'd like to do some longer holds
[11:02] {bruce} but working on just getting profitable w scalps first
[11:02] {bruce} have to head out
[11:02] {bruce} see you all in am
[11:02] {BillyD} cya
[11:02] {Threei} take care bruce

[11:23] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:25] {Threei} in
[11:25] {Threei} 5 cents stop
[11:26] {BillyD} same here
[11:27] {Threei} lol... 1;1 is reached {G}
[11:27] {Threei} not selling of course
[11:28] {BillyD} lol
[11:28] {Threei} first half out above .30
[11:28] {BillyD} ok
[11:29] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entry
[11:33] {BillyD} out some here
[11:33] {Threei} perfect example of anticipatory trade
[11:34] {Threei} NQ looked like upward turn at the moment,
[11:34] {BillyD} they are always perfect when they work
[11:34] {Threei} .31 looked like long trigger with .14 stop,
[11:34] {Threei} NVDA sat sloce to support,
[11:34] {Threei} making aggressive entry very low risk one
[11:34] {BillyD} yes
[11:35] {_lumdus} csco above 27.80 i think
[11:35] {Threei} and before cosmo asks... sloce is close typed by dyslexic
[11:37] {_lumdus} in csco .80
[11:42] {BillyD} Vad...stop still .14
[11:43] {Threei} yup
[11:46] {BillyD} out
[11:50] {Threei} in again
[11:50] {Threei} just a quick scalp
[11:50] {Threei} .99 stop
[11:52] {_lumdus} would be nice a reversal hre
[11:52] {Threei} good chance for that, and very tight stop
[11:52] {Threei} can take play like this just on risk alone
[11:52] {Threei} out half .10
[11:53] {_lumdus} oh.. just looking for pennies today. hey better then losing
[11:54] {_lumdus} i still like csco if we can get some reversal
[11:54] {BillyD} it seems when I look for more than pennies today...I give back the other half of the first pennies
[11:54] {Threei} this is lunch time, this is Monday, jerky shaky market, several nice wins under the belt...
[11:54] {Threei} don't need much right now
[11:55] {_lumdus} small jerkey pops . that's about it, can't get much more then .001
[11:56] {Threei} .001?
[11:56] {Threei} that would be a bit too small :)
[11:56] {Threei} out balance
[11:56] {BillyD} in MLNM .96
[12:04] {BillyD} mkt not helping
[12:06] {Threei} well, your stock is sitting tight
[12:06] {Threei} I'd say, good pick
[12:06] {BillyD} lol
[12:06] {BillyD} talk more please
[12:06] {Threei} {MLNM} oh you think you can talk me down?
[12:07] {BillyD} ok...fess up you hit the fat finger
[12:07] {Threei} nope... I am in coma
[12:08] {Threei} {market} since when it kept you from trading...
[12:13] {BillyD} MLNM now
[12:13] {BillyD} now I said
[12:13] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[12:14] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[12:14] {Threei} believe you me
[12:15] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[12:15] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[12:16] {BillyD} lol
[12:17] {BillyD} have mad some anticipatory trades and then rationalized maybe I was guessing too much only too bail and then see them do what you anticipated
[12:17] {BillyD} gotta stick w/ the small voice inside
[12:17] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[12:17] {BillyD} roflol
[12:19] {Threei} out MLNM .07
[12:19] {Threei} ty billy :)
[12:20] {BillyD} yw
[12:20] {BillyD} out 1/2 +.10
[12:26] {Threei} whoa CSIQ
[12:26] {Threei} serious selloff
[12:26] {Threei} due to bounce
[12:26] {Threei} in half lot
[12:26] {Threei} stop under .50
[12:30] {Threei} won't let it lose .75 on me
[12:30] {Threei} out
[12:30] {Threei} lousy +.6 cents...
[12:30] {Threei} wanted much bigger bounce but not going to risk another sharp drop
[12:30] {BillyD} yeah
[12:34] {_lumdus} put stop oat break even for csiq
[12:36] {BillyD} out rest MLNM +.06
[12:39] {Threei} good out Billy
[12:40] {Threei} WIRES REPORT NEW BIN LADEN TAPE RELEASED ADDRESSING EUROPEANS
[12:40] {BillyD} thx....spinning wheels day here
[12:40] {Threei} quite nice day money wise
[12:40] {Threei} boring, yeah
[12:40] {BillyD} that guy picks on everyone
[12:40] {Threei} but I really don't mind
[12:40] {BillyD} not $ day for me
[12:41] {Threei} I think you undersize those aggressive entry plays
[12:41] {BillyD} that is exactly part of problem
[12:41] {Threei} when I have 4-5 cents stop on liquid stocks I don't really hold back
[12:42] {BillyD} then I find I have to keep pushing trades
[12:42] {Threei} with such tiny stop and potentially small target, why not play bigger size
[12:42] {BillyD} my better trades earlier I got small fills
[12:42] {BillyD} your right though.....
[12:43] {Threei} 12 cents is fine with 1K, not much sense with half lot, considerably nice with 2-3K
[12:43] {Threei} that's the point of agressive entries, right?
[12:43] {BillyD} yeah......this is then conclusion I have been coming to
[12:43] {Threei} to minimize the stop
[12:44] {Threei} so your risk is smaller
[12:44] {BillyD} just in my trades overall....I need to increase size unless volatility doesn't warrant
[12:44] {Threei} but your risk tolerance is the same
[12:44] {Threei} you would cut down shares size if play required wider stop
[12:44] {BillyD} yes
[12:44] {Threei} so why wouldn't you increase size when play allows for a very tight stop...
[12:44] {Threei} works both ways :)
[12:45] {BillyD} true :)
[12:47] {_lumdus} so let's have some good old rally eod at least... comon
[12:57] {Threei} not much of a rally... oh well
[13:02] {Threei} thank you all
[13:02] {Threei} havce a good evening, see you tomorrow
[13:02] {BillyD} cya tomorrow

[06:34] {Threei} was aiming for 8 a few days ago when we first mentioned it
[06:34] {Threei} still verry tough one, low volume
[06:34] {Threei} sneaky climber

[06:49] {Threei} stocks stays in red while NQ is up 13 points
[06:50] {Threei} wouldn't uptick more than 5 cents while NQ up 3 points

[06:53] {Threei} welcome :)
[06:53] {esemde} well done all enjoyed watching that....
[06:54] {Threei} only watching?
[06:54] {Threei} SCON?
[06:54] {esemde} yes i'm afraid so vad......tons of work on my desk here....
[06:54] {Threei} oh
[06:54] {Threei} sorry
[06:55] {esemde} am doing both.....busy season for me....
[06:55] {Threei} yeah, you described it last week
[06:55] {Threei} sounded intimidating :)
[06:55] {esemde} it is but fun.....still learning from you all though
[06:56] {Threei} stop to .71 for second half
[06:57] {bruce} was that capitulation trade vad?
[06:57] {esemde} i'm still participating in a small way....bought 100 shs of CSIQ at 14.50 frday to swing trade it
[06:57] {Threei} capitulstion?
[06:57] {Threei} capitulation is a long play on quick selloff
[06:57] {Threei} bottom fishin
[06:58] {Threei} that was short on relative weakness,
[06:58] {Threei} aggressive entry close to resistance
[06:58] {Threei} out BRCM
[06:58] {bruce} k - thoght it just menat overextended in either direction
[06:58] {Threei} overextended upward is euphoria,
[06:58] {BillyD} took MLMN for scalp earlier and it kept going
[06:59] {Threei} and in ane case, it refers to trend reversal play
[06:59] {Threei} BRCM short was trend continuation
[06:59] {bruce} yep - figured that
[06:59] {Threei} :)
[06:59] {Threei} wtg Billy
[06:59] {Threei} I can't come to agreement with this one
[06:59] {BillyD} ty...it was your mention from Friday
[07:00] {BillyD} well...reason for .18 scalp
[07:00] {Threei} yes... I just get shaken out on it more often than I get it right
[07:00] {Threei} its rhythm is not exactly my thing I guess
[07:02] {Threei} ESLR
[07:02] {Threei} trying to catch up with solar revival
[07:02] {BillyD} this one shakes me when it is back to normal
[07:02] {BillyD} JADE acting up
[07:03] {BillyD} not in or chasing here
[07:03] {Threei} DSTI too
[07:03] {Threei} don't jump on any of them
[07:04] {Threei} at this point it's unclear whether mania is back or it's just a water-testing
[07:04] {Threei} my personal feeling is, solar mania will be back and soon enough, but it's not on yet
[07:04] {esemde} DSTI is that solar as well
[07:04] {Threei} yup
[07:04] {Threei} (I think)
[07:05] {BillyD} DSTI....pick entry carefully
[07:05] {BillyD} lol
[07:05] {Threei} when it comes to fundamentals, sectors etc, double chech me please :)
[07:05] {esemde} my solar screen is a sea of green this morning
[07:05] {Roman} long JRJC
[07:06] {Roman} very small
[07:06] {Threei} to me, "it's forming a setup, risk is within my tolerance" is fundamental enough, lol
[07:07] {Threei} FSLR seems to be leading the charge
[07:07] {Threei} ASTI and SOLF are not too hot
[07:07] {Threei} so looks like at this point mania is not really widespread
[07:08] {BillyD} good observation
[07:08] {Threei} tail is not following the head confidently

[07:10] {Threei} CSUN

[07:11] {Threei} you are up 2 points of your CSIQ ese
[07:11] {Threei} nicely done
[07:12] {Threei} my understanding is stop was under 14... so it's 1:1 here

[07:15] {Threei} figured that... "I am watching you... I am right behind your shoulder"... (in my best lame horror-movie voice)
[07:15] {esemde} slow and steady hopefully....
[07:16] {esemde} can't really make any money this way but a stress free way to participate until work load dies down a bit
[07:21] {BillyD} HOKU may be a short coming up here

[07:22] {BillyD} GIGM tough imop
[07:23] {Threei} .63 trigger

[07:24] {bruce} not worth it then
[07:26] {_lumdus} .63 trigger on what stock

[07:44] {BillyD} because of its personality
[07:45] {Threei} FFIV... I am not delighted bruce
[07:45] {Threei} kind of marginal trade... not compelling
[07:45] {Threei} I prefer my trades to make me grab them
[07:46] {bruce} k - I thought it was settingh up as a short
[07:46] {Threei} it did as NQ broke down
[07:47] {bruce} yup

[09:15] {Threei} FSLR continues
[09:19] {Threei} wow... look at SWAT spread

[09:28] {bruce} frpt - any read vad?
[09:29] {Threei} 13.10 for scalp
[09:29] {Threei} 12.94 stop
[09:29] {Threei} be careful with this one, it can be quite treacherous
[09:31] {bruce} thanks
[09:42] {Threei} BEAV stop to .14
[09:58] {Threei} DISH
[09:58] {Threei} MOVES HIGHER AFTER THESTREET.COM SAYS TALKS WITH AT&T HAVE COOLED BUT TALKS CONTINUE- source says talks are ongoing about a price in the $60's. Another source says the deal is still happening, just at a slower pace
[10:06] {bruce} daily volume on beav has been dropping last few days vad
[10:06] {bruce} what makes it a good intraday candidate today?
[10:07] {Threei} intraday setup?
[10:07] {bruce} lol
[10:07] {Threei} there is clean JBE on 1 min
[10:07] {bruce} I'm leery of long consolidations
[10:07] {Threei} lower volume on Fri- it was half day don't forget
[10:08] {bruce} I see the [pattern OK but have seen them fail a lot
[10:08] {bruce} true
[10:09] {Threei} in any case, it hit 1:1 twice
[10:09] {Threei} and does it now for a third time
[10:11] {bruce} yup- worked well
[10:11] {bruce} it'sa really obvious pattern
[10:12] {bruce} and I've had a really low succes rate
[10:12] {bruce} with that long breakout pattern
[10:12] {Threei} this is one of my most traded patterns... with very nice success rate
[10:12] {Threei} most of my calls you see are of this kind
[10:14] {bruce} for me - the short consolidations rok fine
[10:14] {bruce} the ones over 30 minutes fail a lot
[10:14] {Threei} this is normal
[10:14] {Threei} same thing with most breakout setups
[10:14] {Threei} triangles are famous for this pattern for instance:
[10:15] {Threei} if breeak occurs with 2/3 till apex, chance of successful break is much higher
[10:15] {Threei} with = within
[10:15] {bruce} k
[10:15] {bruce} neverr put a number to it
[10:15] {bruce} but have noticed exactly that
[10:15] {bruce} the longer they continue
[10:15] {Threei} if I remember correct, TTR mentions this distinctions too
[10:15] {bruce} less likely they will work
[10:16] {bruce} they're beautiful fakeouts
[10:16] {bruce} suck more and more people in - then reverse
[10:18] {Threei} open your copy of TTR, page 142
[10:18] {Threei} Miscullaneous Points
[10:18] {Threei} Point # 1

[10:41] {Threei} out BEAV .40 and .41
[10:44] {BillyD} gj
[10:44] {Threei} booooring trade
[10:45] {Threei} but, you know... bore me with profit
[10:45] {BillyD} profitable
[10:45] {Threei} I am willing to be bored all the way to the bank
[11:00] {bruce} nice play w beqav vad
[11:00] {Threei} ty
[11:00] {Threei} too bad BRCM choose to shake us out first
[11:00] {Threei} would be a very nice short
[11:00] {Threei} especially if we went into coma and forgot we had it
[11:01] {bruce} lol
[11:01] {bruce} I'd like to do some longer holds
[11:02] {bruce} but working on just getting profitable w scalps first
[11:02] {bruce} have to head out
[11:02] {bruce} see you all in am
[11:02] {BillyD} cya
[11:02] {Threei} take care bruce
[11:04] {cosmo} MLNM hod = 14.94 fwiw
[11:06] {cosmo} SKIL tests @ 10
[11:23] {Threei} NVDA long with .14 stop
[11:23] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:25] {Threei} in
[11:25] {Threei} 5 cents stop
[11:26] {BillyD} same here
[11:27] {Threei} lol... 1;1 is reached {G}
[11:27] {Threei} not selling of course
[11:28] {BillyD} lol
[11:28] {Threei} first half out above .30
[11:28] {BillyD} ok
[11:29] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entry
[11:33] {BillyD} out some here
[11:33] {Threei} perfect example of anticipatory trade
[11:34] {Threei} NQ looked like upward turn at the moment,
[11:34] {BillyD} they are always perfect when they work
[11:34] {Threei} .31 looked like long trigger with .14 stop,
[11:34] {Threei} NVDA sat sloce to support,
[11:34] {Threei} making aggressive entry very low risk one
[11:34] {BillyD} yes
[11:35] {_lumdus} csco above 27.80 i think
[11:35] {Threei} and before cosmo asks... sloce is close typed by dyslexic
[11:37] {_lumdus} in csco .80
[11:42] {BillyD} Vad...stop still .14
[11:43] {Threei} yup
[11:46] {BillyD} out
[11:50] {Threei} in again
[11:50] {Threei} just a quick scalp
[11:50] {Threei} .99 stop
[11:52] {_lumdus} would be nice a reversal hre
[11:52] {Threei} good chance for that, and very tight stop
[11:52] {Threei} can take play like this just on risk alone
[11:52] {Threei} out half .10
[11:53] {_lumdus} oh.. just looking for pennies today. hey better then losing
[11:54] {_lumdus} i still like csco if we can get some reversal
[11:54] {BillyD} it seems when I look for more than pennies today...I give back the other half of the first pennies
[11:54] {Threei} this is lunch time, this is Monday, jerky shaky market, several nice wins under the belt...
[11:54] {Threei} don't need much right now
[11:55] {_lumdus} small jerkey pops . that's about it, can't get much more then .001
[11:56] {Threei} .001?
[11:56] {Threei} that would be a bit too small :)
[11:56] {Threei} out balance
[11:56] {BillyD} in MLNM .96
[12:04] {BillyD} mkt not helping
[12:06] {Threei} well, your stock is sitting tight
[12:06] {Threei} I'd say, good pick
[12:06] {BillyD} lol
[12:06] {BillyD} talk more please
[12:06] {Threei} {MLNM} oh you think you can talk me down?
[12:07] {BillyD} ok...fess up you hit the fat finger
[12:07] {Threei} nope... I am in coma
[12:08] {Threei} {market} since when it kept you from trading...
[12:13] {BillyD} MLNM now
[12:13] {BillyD} now I said
[12:13] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[12:14] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[12:14] {Threei} believe you me
[12:15] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[12:15] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[12:16] {BillyD} lol
[12:17] {BillyD} have mad some anticipatory trades and then rationalized maybe I was guessing too much only too bail and then see them do what you anticipated
[12:17] {BillyD} gotta stick w/ the small voice inside
[12:17] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[12:17] {BillyD} roflol
[12:19] {Threei} out MLNM .07
[12:19] {Threei} ty billy :)
[12:20] {BillyD} yw
[12:20] {BillyD} out 1/2 +.10
[12:26] {Threei} whoa CSIQ
[12:26] {Threei} serious selloff
[12:26] {Threei} due to bounce
[12:26] {Threei} in half lot
[12:26] {Threei} stop under .50
[12:30] {Threei} won't let it lose .75 on me
[12:30] {Threei} out
[12:30] {Threei} lousy +.6 cents...
[12:30] {Threei} wanted much bigger bounce but not going to risk another sharp drop
[12:30] {BillyD} yeah
[12:34] {_lumdus} put stop oat break even for csiq
[12:36] {BillyD} out rest MLNM +.06
[12:39] {Threei} good out Billy
[12:40] {Threei} WIRES REPORT NEW BIN LADEN TAPE RELEASED ADDRESSING EUROPEANS
[12:40] {BillyD} thx....spinning wheels day here
[12:40] {Threei} quite nice day money wise
[12:40] {Threei} boring, yeah
[12:40] {BillyD} that guy picks on everyone
[12:40] {Threei} but I really don't mind
[12:40] {BillyD} not $ day for me
[12:41] {Threei} I think you undersize those aggressive entry plays
[12:41] {BillyD} that is exactly part of problem
[12:41] {Threei} when I have 4-5 cents stop on liquid stocks I don't really hold back
[12:42] {BillyD} then I find I have to keep pushing trades
[12:42] {Threei} with such tiny stop and potentially small target, why not play bigger size
[12:42] {BillyD} my better trades earlier I got small fills
[12:42] {BillyD} your right though.....
[12:43] {Threei} 12 cents is fine with 1K, not much sense with half lot, considerably nice with 2-3K
[12:43] {Threei} that's the point of agressive entries, right?
[12:43] {BillyD} yeah......this is then conclusion I have been coming to
[12:43] {Threei} to minimize the stop
[12:44] {Threei} so your risk is smaller
[12:44] {BillyD} just in my trades overall....I need to increase size unless volatility doesn't warrant
[12:44] {Threei} but your risk tolerance is the same
[12:44] {Threei} you would cut down shares size if play required wider stop
[12:44] {BillyD} yes
[12:44] {Threei} so why wouldn't you increase size when play allows for a very tight stop...
[12:44] {Threei} works both ways :)
[12:45] {BillyD} true :)
[12:47] {_lumdus} so let's have some good old rally eod at least... comon
[12:57] {Threei} not much of a rally... oh well
[13:02] {Threei} thank you all
[13:02] {Threei} havce a good evening, see you tomorrow
[13:02] {BillyD} cya tomorrow

[05:29] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN SAYS POLICY MAKERS MAY NEED TO ADDRESS THE WEAK USD
[05:29] {Threei} - If not for flexibility in the US economy the chances of a recession would be above 50%
[05:29] {Threei} muzzzle... urgent
[05:29] {BillyD} it picks up where we left off
[05:29] {BillyD} good morning
[05:30] {Threei} there should be continuation, shouldn't it
[05:30] {Threei} hi :)
[05:30] {Threei} ummm... continuity
[05:31] {Threei} (CA) FIN MIN FLAHERTY: PLEASED TO SEE C$ AT MORE 'REASONABLE' RANGE
[05:31] {Threei} yeah me too
[05:31] {Threei} akthough I consider $1.50 more reasonable than parity {G}
[05:34] {cosmo} ETFC 4.50 - 4.60 range ...so far
[05:34] {BillyD} "They came to hit tonight," Carpenter said. "I think tonight, we were overmatched."
[05:34] {BillyD} this is the statement from ASU's quarterback after getting beat up last night and an almost concussion
[05:35] {Threei} at first it sounded more like quote from Alice in Wonderland
[05:35] {BillyD} lol
[05:37] {cosmo} it was a mad trukey bowl
[05:37] {BillyD} mad or bad
[05:37] {cosmo} hmm
[05:37] {cosmo} thinking
[05:38] {Threei} oh no
[05:39] {cosmo} it was bad that Barkley left so soon...
[05:39] {Threei} I am having headaches even from simple reading word "thinking"
[05:41] {cosmo} I like the fact that both coaches are good thinkers tho
[05:41] {BillyD} i could Marcus Allen on field but Barkley...
[05:42] {BillyD} USC players were just bigger, stronger and tougher
[05:42] {cosmo} they'd make terrible traders tho
[05:42] {BillyD} couldn't believe
[05:45] {cosmo} they(ASU) might have been caught thinking ahead to UofA
[05:45] {cosmo} hehe ...sorry
[06:09] {dptl} good morning all
[06:10] {BillyD} morning Dp
[06:10] {Threei} dp :)
[06:11] {BillyD} let's see if CPSL gets folllow thru
[06:12] {cosmo} TIBX up-graded fwiw
[06:14] {dptl} so its short day today?
[06:14] {Threei} yes
[06:14] {dptl} ty
[06:15] {Threei} not counting on much... if we get couple safe scalps I'll be satisfied
[06:15] {Threei} a lot of players don't bother today, just take one loong weekend
[06:15] {Threei} the only reason market is open at all is 3 days rule
[06:17] {dino} gm all
[06:17] {BillyD} dino :)
[06:17] {Threei} dino :)
[06:17] {bruce} hello dino
[06:18] {dino} :)
[06:18] {esemde} morning .....
[06:19] {Threei} ese :)
[06:20] {bruce} hi ese
[06:21] {esemde} hi vad bruce.....what is the 3 day rule
[06:21] {Threei} investors must not be left with no access to their money for more than 3 days in a row
[06:21] {esemde} hmmmm i didn't know that....
[06:22] {Threei} so when there is a holiday around the weekend, on Tuesday or on Thursday, instead of having 4 days of holiday they insert half day trading on Mon or Fri
[06:22] {BillyD} didn't realize that included weekends
[06:22] {Threei} this is the only reason we have these half day markets
[06:23] {bruce} is today 1/2 only?
[06:23] {Threei} yes
[06:23] {BillyD} wow....you are full of facts
[06:23] {BillyD} 1pm ET Bruce
[06:23] {bruce} good to know
[06:23] {Threei} problem is billy... they are random and unsorted
[06:23] {bruce} hate to be stuck in trade on close
[06:24] {Threei} so unless you get lucky and ask me right question, I am useless :)
[06:24] {BillyD} I look for patterns Vad
[06:25] {cosmo} ETFC possible double botto..on the daily
[06:25] {Threei} if I adjust to today's market I'll have none {G}
[06:25] {cosmo} bottom
[06:25] {Threei} interested to see if CAST uses this low volume day to jump through resistance
[06:26] {Threei} overall, CAST so far is a classic case of early accumulation stage
[06:26] {BillyD} w/ the buying u would think CAST alreay pop
[06:26] {Threei} not necessary
[06:26] {Threei} early accumulation is a stage where "they" are trying to collect as many shares as possible without attracting attention
[06:27] {BillyD} yes
[06:27] {BillyD} longer the better eh
[06:27] {Threei} so as soon as movement becomes too obvious, price or volume or both wise
[06:27] {Threei} "they" retreat, drop bids, stop buying
[06:27] {Threei} and could even put out offers
[06:27] {Threei} to get the stock off the radars again,
[06:28] {Threei} until "they" are about done accumulating.
[06:28] {Threei} Then the movement will be allowed to become conspicous
[06:28] {Threei} to attract the crowds and provide momentum
[06:29] {BillyD} makes sense
[06:29] {Threei} basics of tape reading...
[06:29] {BillyD} you've seen this before
[06:29] {Threei} speaking of which... don't forget to check latest blog entry
[06:29] {Threei} written out of desperation {G}
[06:29] {Threei} can't see this question anymore without getting all like "what... again???"
[06:30] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/11/whats-in-name-or-what-is-tape-reading.html
[06:30] {bruce} daily on cast only goes back 2 weeks on my charts
[06:30] {Threei} yes, it's one of those relatively new chinese arrivals
[06:31] {Threei} traded on diff market before, started on NASDAQ recently
[06:31] {Threei} there were quite a bit of those recently
[06:32] {Threei} we were going to keep an eye on ZIXI
[06:32] {BillyD} yes
[06:35] {Threei} NUAN long, if 19.50 melts down
[06:35] {Threei} let's see where it bottoms out before triggering
[06:35] {Threei} under .35 I lose interest
[06:38] {Threei} lost
[06:40] {Threei} BRCM half lot short .34
[06:40] {bruce} ltd long vaed?
[06:40] {Threei} .36 trigger bruce
[06:40] {dino} sprd
[06:43] {dino} hl l .81
[06:43] {dino} stop .35
[06:44] {Threei} BRCM stop .46
[06:44] {dino} tighten to .47
[06:45] {Threei} .51 is valid too, but I prefer to keep them very tight today
[06:46] {BillyD} take out that bid we be good
[06:46] {Threei} yeah, .25 is defining
[06:47] {dino} avtr
[06:48] {Threei} moment of truth BRCM
[06:48] {BillyD} doing 1/2
[06:51] {Threei} chart wise, stop can be trailed to .41... but it was so tight to begin with, I'll just leave it where it is
[06:51] {Threei} to decrease the chance of shakeout
[06:51] {BillyD} u going for 1:1 on 1/2
[06:52] {Threei} yeah
[06:52] {Threei} was bidding .21, never got it
[06:52] {BillyD} tried .22 w/ no fill
[06:52] {BillyD} same here initially
[06:52] {Threei} that big bid at .20 kept it
[06:52] {BillyD} bumped up
[06:52] {Threei} and marklet bounce
[06:53] {Threei} (as soon as anyone figures out what markLet is, let me know please)
[06:53] {Threei} bounce was quite pathetic on BRCM

[07:24] {Threei} what price did you get on entry?
[07:24] {_lumdus} .33
[07:25] {Threei} not bad for such a tight stop
[07:25] {_lumdus} don't like the action today .. if i get this fine, if not enough watch for me.
[07:25] {Threei} that's the theme of the day
[07:25] {Threei} low volume aumless wandering day
[07:26] {Threei} aimless
[07:26] {BillyD} BRCM just enough to stop Vad
[07:26] {Threei} NVLS looks salmonish

[07:27] {BillyD} Vad ? on BRCM setup
[07:27] {bruce} aumless?
[07:28] {Threei} [10:24] {Threei} aimless

[07:28] {bruce} ah
[07:28] {bruce} hought you meant almless
[07:28] {BillyD} it was a pivotal area from yesterday when I was watching
[07:29] {dino} tsl stopped

[07:34] {Threei} low volume bounce
[07:35] {Roman} scalped little ETFC vad, ty
[07:35] {BillyD} I meant the small bounce

[08:11] {bruce} you were right - not much follow through today vad
[08:11] {dino} bidu lod

[08:33] {Threei} it got upgraded by someone I've never heard about
[08:34] {bruce} its the market dino - not a lot of big moves today to retrace
[08:34] {esemde} too many analysts out there in my opinion
[08:34] {Threei} if there were 3 of them that would be 3 too many
[08:34] {dino} yeah, should've stayed home.
[08:35] {bruce} analysts are needed
[08:35] {bruce} the market makers use them to manipulate the naive public
[08:37] {esemde} definately....
[08:37] {esemde} or should i say .....indeed
[08:40] {bruce} lol
[08:40] {bruce} and you can add indubitably too ese
[08:41] {esemde} this is classic though.....dump the thing dow 4 bucks or so....institutions fill boots.....upgrade the stock......nahhhhhh...no manipulation in these markets....not at all

[08:44] {bruce} and to buy my own country
[08:45] {bruce} hmm - its catchy
[08:46] {esemde} this is why Vads method of trading is the only way to go...i got tired of ....(use your own expletive deletive here!!!!)...types of trading. nothing but BS as far as i'm concerned
[08:46] * Threei opens his vocabulary of expletives
[08:47] {esemde} i can provide you with a few if you like?
[08:47] {Threei} happily... I lack in english part of it
[08:47] {Threei} russian is very rich though

[09:13] {esemde} THIN VOLUME
[09:16] {Threei} ETFC is trying again
[09:17] {Threei} 5.41 worth a try for scalp with .34 stop

[09:31] {_lumdus} we close early today ?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:21] {Roman} market closes at 1:00 p.m. EST today?

[09:32] {_lumdus} thank you .. missed
[09:32] {_lumdus} 3i, you think EOD rally comming ?
[09:33] {Threei} equal chance for a drop
[09:34] {Threei} anyone's guess on a low volume holiday day
[09:34] {_lumdus} ok, i make close stop on nvls .67
[09:44] {_lumdus} stop on nvls .74 now
[09:46] {esemde} man...what was that upgrade on CSIQ....
[09:46] {Threei} I doubt it's an effect of that upgrade
[09:47] {esemde} NQ?
[09:47] {Threei} today is hard to use as an indicator, volume is too low
[09:47] {_lumdus} ok,
[09:47] {Threei} overall, CSIQ hit sweet spot for bounce, and as we discussed earlier, it's far from being done most likely
[09:48] {Threei} what I like about today's move on it though
[09:48] {Threei} it was sustainable slow steady move
[09:48] {Threei} no hysterical scream
[09:48] {esemde} so you figure more upward potential
[09:49] {Threei} sooner or later, yes... just hard to tell if it found the support yet
[09:49] {Threei} were today normal trading day I would say confidently yes
[09:49] {_lumdus} out nvls .85 nice weekedn all
[09:49] {Threei} good job lumdus

[05:29] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN SAYS POLICY MAKERS MAY NEED TO ADDRESS THE WEAK USD
[05:29] {Threei} - If not for flexibility in the US economy the chances of a recession would be above 50%
[05:29] {Threei} muzzzle... urgent
[05:29] {BillyD} it picks up where we left off
[05:29] {BillyD} good morning
[05:30] {Threei} there should be continuation, shouldn't it
[05:30] {Threei} hi :)
[05:30] {Threei} ummm... continuity
[05:31] {Threei} (CA) FIN MIN FLAHERTY: PLEASED TO SEE C$ AT MORE 'REASONABLE' RANGE
[05:31] {Threei} yeah me too
[05:31] {Threei} akthough I consider $1.50 more reasonable than parity {G}
[05:34] {cosmo} ETFC 4.50 - 4.60 range ...so far
[05:34] {BillyD} "They came to hit tonight," Carpenter said. "I think tonight, we were overmatched."
[05:34] {BillyD} this is the statement from ASU's quarterback after getting beat up last night and an almost concussion
[05:35] {Threei} at first it sounded more like quote from Alice in Wonderland
[05:35] {BillyD} lol
[05:37] {cosmo} it was a mad trukey bowl
[05:37] {BillyD} mad or bad
[05:37] {cosmo} hmm
[05:37] {cosmo} thinking
[05:38] {Threei} oh no
[05:39] {cosmo} it was bad that Barkley left so soon...
[05:39] {Threei} I am having headaches even from simple reading word "thinking"
[05:41] {cosmo} I like the fact that both coaches are good thinkers tho
[05:41] {BillyD} i could Marcus Allen on field but Barkley...
[05:42] {BillyD} USC players were just bigger, stronger and tougher
[05:42] {cosmo} they'd make terrible traders tho
[05:42] {BillyD} couldn't believe
[05:45] {cosmo} they(ASU) might have been caught thinking ahead to UofA
[05:45] {cosmo} hehe ...sorry
[06:09] {dptl} good morning all
[06:10] {BillyD} morning Dp
[06:10] {Threei} dp :)
[06:11] {BillyD} let's see if CPSL gets folllow thru
[06:12] {cosmo} TIBX up-graded fwiw
[06:14] {dptl} so its short day today?
[06:14] {Threei} yes
[06:14] {dptl} ty
[06:15] {Threei} not counting on much... if we get couple safe scalps I'll be satisfied
[06:15] {Threei} a lot of players don't bother today, just take one loong weekend
[06:15] {Threei} the only reason market is open at all is 3 days rule
[06:17] {dino} gm all
[06:17] {BillyD} dino :)
[06:17] {Threei} dino :)
[06:17] {bruce} hello dino
[06:18] {dino} :)
[06:18] {esemde} morning .....
[06:19] {Threei} ese :)
[06:20] {bruce} hi ese
[06:21] {esemde} hi vad bruce.....what is the 3 day rule
[06:21] {Threei} investors must not be left with no access to their money for more than 3 days in a row
[06:21] {esemde} hmmmm i didn't know that....
[06:22] {Threei} so when there is a holiday around the weekend, on Tuesday or on Thursday, instead of having 4 days of holiday they insert half day trading on Mon or Fri
[06:22] {BillyD} didn't realize that included weekends
[06:22] {Threei} this is the only reason we have these half day markets
[06:23] {bruce} is today 1/2 only?
[06:23] {Threei} yes
[06:23] {BillyD} wow....you are full of facts
[06:23] {BillyD} 1pm ET Bruce
[06:23] {bruce} good to know
[06:23] {Threei} problem is billy... they are random and unsorted
[06:23] {bruce} hate to be stuck in trade on close
[06:24] {Threei} so unless you get lucky and ask me right question, I am useless :)
[06:24] {BillyD} I look for patterns Vad
[06:25] {cosmo} ETFC possible double botto..on the daily
[06:25] {Threei} if I adjust to today's market I'll have none {G}
[06:25] {cosmo} bottom
[06:25] {Threei} interested to see if CAST uses this low volume day to jump through resistance
[06:26] {Threei} overall, CAST so far is a classic case of early accumulation stage
[06:26] {BillyD} w/ the buying u would think CAST alreay pop
[06:26] {Threei} not necessary
[06:26] {Threei} early accumulation is a stage where "they" are trying to collect as many shares as possible without attracting attention
[06:27] {BillyD} yes
[06:27] {BillyD} longer the better eh
[06:27] {Threei} so as soon as movement becomes too obvious, price or volume or both wise
[06:27] {Threei} "they" retreat, drop bids, stop buying
[06:27] {Threei} and could even put out offers
[06:27] {Threei} to get the stock off the radars again,
[06:28] {Threei} until "they" are about done accumulating.
[06:28] {Threei} Then the movement will be allowed to become conspicous
[06:28] {Threei} to attract the crowds and provide momentum
[06:29] {BillyD} makes sense
[06:29] {Threei} basics of tape reading...
[06:29] {BillyD} you've seen this before
[06:29] {Threei} speaking of which... don't forget to check latest blog entry
[06:29] {Threei} written out of desperation {G}
[06:29] {Threei} can't see this question anymore without getting all like "what... again???"
[06:30] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/11/whats-in-name-or-what-is-tape-reading.html
[06:30] {bruce} daily on cast only goes back 2 weeks on my charts
[06:30] {Threei} yes, it's one of those relatively new chinese arrivals
[06:31] {Threei} traded on diff market before, started on NASDAQ recently
[06:31] {Threei} there were quite a bit of those recently
[06:32] {Threei} we were going to keep an eye on ZIXI
[06:32] {BillyD} yes
[06:35] {Threei} NUAN long, if 19.50 melts down
[06:35] {Threei} let's see where it bottoms out before triggering
[06:35] {Threei} under .35 I lose interest
[06:38] {Threei} lost
[06:40] {Threei} BRCM half lot short .34
[06:40] {bruce} ltd long vaed?
[06:40] {Threei} .36 trigger bruce
[06:40] {dino} sprd
[06:43] {dino} hl l .81
[06:43] {dino} stop .35
[06:44] {Threei} BRCM stop .46
[06:44] {dino} tighten to .47
[06:45] {Threei} .51 is valid too, but I prefer to keep them very tight today
[06:46] {BillyD} take out that bid we be good
[06:46] {Threei} yeah, .25 is defining
[06:47] {dino} avtr
[06:48] {Threei} moment of truth BRCM
[06:48] {BillyD} doing 1/2
[06:51] {Threei} chart wise, stop can be trailed to .41... but it was so tight to begin with, I'll just leave it where it is
[06:51] {Threei} to decrease the chance of shakeout
[06:51] {BillyD} u going for 1:1 on 1/2
[06:52] {Threei} yeah
[06:52] {Threei} was bidding .21, never got it
[06:52] {BillyD} tried .22 w/ no fill
[06:52] {BillyD} same here initially
[06:52] {Threei} that big bid at .20 kept it
[06:52] {BillyD} bumped up
[06:52] {Threei} and marklet bounce
[06:53] {Threei} (as soon as anyone figures out what markLet is, let me know please)
[06:53] {Threei} bounce was quite pathetic on BRCM
[06:53] {BillyD} out some at .23
[06:54] {Threei} got hit for some at .21
[06:54] {Threei} less than half though
[06:54] {Threei} gotta get it nor
[06:54] {Threei} or not
[06:54] {cosmo} ETFC salmon ...beats turkey
[06:54] {BillyD} bid at .20 getting smaller
[06:54] {Threei} yeah, bidder is having second thoughts
[06:55] {Threei} can't blame him really
[06:55] {Threei} LTD is holding like champ bruce
[06:56] {bruce} so far - yes
[06:57] {Threei} stop to .41 this time on BRCM
[06:57] {BillyD} ok
[06:57] {Threei} cosmo, ETFC CNBC'S FABER: COMPANY IN TALKS TO SELL ITSELF
[06:58] {cosmo} don't we all
[06:58] {Threei} yeah but Faber doesn't talk about us

[07:35] {Roman} scalped little ETFC vad, ty
[07:35] {BillyD} I meant the small bounce

[08:11] {bruce} you were right - not much follow through today vad
[08:11] {dino} bidu lod
[08:12] {_lumdus} 3i, yes it did, just when you start trading again takes time to wake up. it's fine

[08:33] {Threei} it got upgraded by someone I've never heard about
[08:34] {bruce} its the market dino - not a lot of big moves today to retrace
[08:34] {esemde} too many analysts out there in my opinion
[08:34] {Threei} if there were 3 of them that would be 3 too many
[08:34] {dino} yeah, should've stayed home.
[08:35] {bruce} analysts are needed
[08:35] {bruce} the market makers use them to manipulate the naive public
[08:37] {esemde} definately....
[08:37] {esemde} or should i say .....indeed
[08:40] {bruce} lol
[08:40] {bruce} and you can add indubitably too ese
[08:41] {esemde} this is classic though.....dump the thing dow 4 bucks or so....institutions fill boots.....upgrade the stock......nahhhhhh...no manipulation in these markets....not at all
[08:41] {bruce} acgy vadster?
[08:41] {dino} tbsi l hl .10
[08:41] {bruce} acgy
[08:41] {bruce} sorry
[08:43] {bruce} remember that "if I hade a hammer" song" ese?
[08:43] {esemde} definately.....
[08:43] {bruce} can hum that tune too
[08:43] {bruce} if I had a nickel
[08:44] {_lumdus} nvls go little boy now !
[08:44] {bruce} for evry analyst fakeout
[08:44] {bruce} I'd be able to retire
[08:44] {bruce} and to buy my own country
[08:45] {bruce} hmm - its catchy
[08:46] {esemde} this is why Vads method of trading is the only way to go...i got tired of ....(use your own expletive deletive here!!!!)...types of trading. nothing but BS as far as i'm concerned
[08:46] * Threei opens his vocabulary of expletives
[08:47] {esemde} i can provide you with a few if you like?
[08:47] {Threei} happily... I lack in english part of it
[08:47] {Threei} russian is very rich though

[09:07] {bruce} have a great weekend all
[09:07] {bruce} see you monday
[09:07] {Threei} take care bruce

[09:09] {Threei} you partialed any on NVLS, lumdus?
[09:10] {_lumdus} no not yet
[09:11] {_lumdus} but my stop is now .57 so locked in some nice profit
[09:12] {esemde} CSIG?...
[09:13] {esemde} THIN VOLUME
[09:16] {Threei} ETFC is trying again
[09:17] {Threei} 5.41 worth a try for scalp with .34 stop
[09:21] {_lumdus} nvls reloading again

[09:25] {Threei} MLNM interesting
[09:29] {_lumdus} nvls & f starting to work
[09:31] {_lumdus} we close early today ?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:21] {Roman} market closes at 1:00 p.m. EST today?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:22] {BillyD} yes
[09:32] {_lumdus} thank you .. missed
[09:32] {_lumdus} 3i, you think EOD rally comming ?
[09:33] {Threei} equal chance for a drop
[09:34] {Threei} anyone's guess on a low volume holiday day
[09:34] {_lumdus} ok, i make close stop on nvls .67
[09:44] {_lumdus} stop on nvls .74 now
[09:46] {esemde} man...what was that upgrade on CSIQ....
[09:46] {Threei} I doubt it's an effect of that upgrade
[09:47] {esemde} NQ?
[09:47] {Threei} today is hard to use as an indicator, volume is too low
[09:47] {_lumdus} ok,
[09:47] {Threei} overall, CSIQ hit sweet spot for bounce, and as we discussed earlier, it's far from being done most likely
[09:48] {Threei} what I like about today's move on it though
[09:48] {Threei} it was sustainable slow steady move
[09:48] {Threei} no hysterical scream
[09:48] {esemde} so you figure more upward potential
[09:49] {Threei} sooner or later, yes... just hard to tell if it found the support yet
[09:49] {Threei} were today normal trading day I would say confidently yes
[09:49] {_lumdus} out nvls .85 nice weekedn all
[09:49] {Threei} good job lumdus
[09:49] {Threei} have a good one
[09:50] {_lumdus} thank you

November 21, 2007
Session Start: Wed Nov 21 00:00:00 2007
Session Time: Wed Nov 21 00:00:00 2007
[08:03] {Threei} CPSL REPORTS Q1 $0.08; R$25.3M V $10.5M Y/Y- China Precision Steel's new cold-rolled mill with 150,000 metric tons of design capacity is operating at 40% utilization. It is expected to reach 50% utilization by the end of calendar year 2007. The Company has plans to commence the construction of a third mill with 150,000 metric tons of capacity in the first quarter of 2008.
[08:06] {BillyD} morning Vad
[08:07] {Threei} morning :)
[08:09] {BillyD} enjoying your TTR again
[08:10] {BillyD} has much deeper meaning this time
[08:10] {Threei} you really are pushing me into reading it...
[08:10] {BillyD} lol
[08:10] {Threei} but I know what you mean
[08:10] {Threei} I recieve e-mails saying things like
[08:10] {Threei} it reads very differently with time and experience
[08:11] {Threei} getting deeper levels, more meaning
[08:11] {BillyD} yes
[08:11] {Threei} I take it as a great compliment, means book is really well written
[08:11] {Threei} not "flat"
[08:11] {BillyD} example...a trader must always be in continous learning and development
[08:12] {BillyD} whem we stop learning we close down the growth and capacity of our minds
[08:12] {BillyD} which can somewhat send us backwards by default
[08:12] {Threei} PREVIEW: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS DATA DUE OUT AT 8:30AM ET
[08:12] {Threei} - Continuing Claims seen at 2.575M v prior 2.568M
[08:13] {Threei} or we simply fall behind
[08:13] {BillyD} yes
[08:13] {Threei} things change in markets,
[08:13] {Threei} not in fundamental way, but in tactical way
[08:13] {Threei} gotta roll with punches
[08:14] {Threei} mania in particular sector comes, you deploy different style of trading
[08:14] {BillyD} I think that is what takes the edge of tightness off
[08:14] {BillyD} flexible
[08:14] {Threei} right
[08:14] {Threei} mania ends, you go back to "regular" trading
[08:15] {Threei} when chinese stocks mania hit a while ago, my daily takeout increased by factor 3
[08:15] {BillyD} there is a difference between being disciplined in execution of trades and flexible in trading different mkts
[08:15] {Threei} would be a shame not to use such opportunity
[08:18] {BillyD} a key is finding your own edge or style of trading...setups you see that generate impulse to enter trade
[08:19] {Threei} bringing structure to chaos
[08:21] {BillyD} u don't have turkey day tomorrow right
[08:22] {Threei} no, ours happened at the end of Oct
[08:25] {Threei} what day(s) is market closed?
[08:25] {BillyD} tomorrow and half day friday
[08:25] {Threei} good thing I asked
[08:25] {BillyD} 1 pm ET on friday
[08:26] {BillyD} yes......
[08:26] {BillyD} do you know if your CPU is dual core or not
[08:26] {Threei} this holiday always gets me because of difference between Canada and US versions
[08:27] {Threei} how do I find that out? :)
[08:27] {BillyD} not sure
[08:27] {BillyD} age of your pc
[08:27] {BillyD} ?
[08:28] {Threei} year and half
[08:28] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} it's customary built so I don't have any manufacturer manuals
[08:29] {BillyD} maybe if it says "AMD 64 X2" what I can tell from Google
[08:29] {Threei} no x2
[08:29] {Threei} says 3200+
[08:29] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} whatever that means
[08:30] {Threei} it's 64 bit processor
[08:30] {BillyD} but AMD is faster than the single core Intel.....
[08:30] {Threei} *(CA) SEPT RETAIL SALES M/M: -0.2% V 0.0%E; LESS AUTO M/M: 0.1% V 0.3%E
[08:31] {Threei} maybe our loonie finally gives up
[08:31] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 330K V 330KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 2.566M V 2.575ME
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims Revised from 2.568M to 2.559M
[08:31] {Threei} yup, USD just shot up vs CAD... here is to hope
[08:32] {BillyD} the US debt gonna kill us globally
[08:32] {Threei} well, funny thing is so far it kills everyone else
[08:33] {Threei} it's like troubles are getting artfully exported
[08:33] {BillyD} kind of like cooking books
[08:33] {BillyD} sweeping under carpet
[08:33] {Threei} no, not really
[08:33] {Threei} everyone sees troubles
[08:34] {Threei} but heavy involvement of various world banks in subprime causes problems well outside of US borders,,
[08:35] {Threei} weakening dollar hits other countries first,
[08:35] {Threei} you will feel its impact later, when WalMart prices shoot up
[08:36] {BillyD} I see what u mean
[08:36] {BillyD} US can withstand losses a bit better
[08:37] {BillyD} they just print more bandaid money
[08:37] {Threei} whole world hopes so
[08:37] {Threei} well, except Chaves
[08:37] {Threei} :)
[08:37] {BillyD} yeah.....
[08:37] {Threei} well, printing banaid money gotta stop...
[08:37] {BillyD} printing more money just effects eventual debt problem
[08:38] {Threei} but for that someone would have to re-evaluate alan greenspan's legacy
[08:38] {BillyD} I saw him on TV prgram
[08:38] {Threei} and whole concept of monthly regulated interest rate
[08:39] {BillyD} and he said they were trying to raise interest rates but were too slow and was main reason we are in Real Estate fiasco
[08:39] {Threei} lol
[08:39] {BillyD} they made it too easy......a dash of greed and you know the rest
[08:39] {BillyD} greed from system players to the retail
[08:40] {Threei} everything is so clear in hindsight
[08:40] {Threei} but at the moment, they had a lot of pressing concerns making them lower rates
[08:40] {BillyD} greed is emotion....clouds judgement
[08:40] {Threei} and those concerns were very different
[08:41] {BillyD} yes with later effects
[08:41] {Threei} it's not that RE bubble bursted they see how they constructed it
[08:41] {Threei} not = now
[08:41] {Threei} back then they were saying great, rising re prices save our economy at the moment
[08:42] {BillyD} funny...all the things we learn in trading with emotions/discipline
[08:42] {Threei} cure vs illness anyone?
[08:42] {BillyD} is totally applicable to life
[08:42] {Threei} absolutely
[08:42] {BillyD} in trading....they are right in front of you...less forging or rewarding immediately
[08:42] {Threei} isn't it widelt acknowledged fact that rate change takes about 18 months to work its way through economy?
[08:42] {BillyD} in life provides life to denila
[08:43] {BillyD} denial
[08:43] {BillyD} yeaH...AND THEY HOPEW THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT WILL SUFFICE UNTIL WE GET THERE
[08:43] {BillyD} sorry
[08:43] {Threei} so how regulating them on monthly basis makes sense?
[08:44] {Threei} and how 11 hikes in a row, then 13 cuts in a row make sense?
[08:44] {BillyD} actually adds to nuerotcism
[08:44] {BillyD} too much volatility
[08:45] {BillyD} think about the childishness
[08:45] {Threei} they just added another factor in markets equation
[08:45] {BillyD} mkt gets rate cut.....immediately it iws ok when is our next one
[08:45] {BillyD} true another variable
[08:45] {Threei} no slightest evidence that since fed started regulating interest rate inflation is under more control or crises are less frequent
[08:46] {Threei} unpegging from gold standard is whole separate story
[08:46] {Threei} mad money printing/exporting
[08:47] {Threei} some business books have this analogy:
[08:47] {BillyD} well...it really comes down to the whole masses taking more responsibility for their lives, accountability, discipline, living within means, etc
[08:47] {Threei} you are trying to get the right water temperature in the shower with single handle
[08:47] {BillyD} lol
[08:47] {Threei} open it, it's scolding hot,
[08:48] {Threei} your first reaction is to turn it quickly to the opposite
[08:48] {Threei} water turns cold
[08:48] {Threei} you start controlling your movements
[08:48] {Threei} trying to get right temperature in the fork.
[08:48] {Threei} Eventually you succedd of course,
[08:48] {Threei} and it take certain time.
[08:49] {BillyD} a few burns here and there
[08:49] {Threei} So, this time is way longer
[08:49] {Threei} and effort is much greater
[08:49] {Threei} than it would be were you slowly moving the handle to the colder part of the range.
[08:49] {BillyD} isn't a system that feeds human weakness
[08:50] {Threei} it happenbs because of the delayed feedback
[08:50] {Threei} since temperature isn't changing immediately after your move,
[08:50] {Threei} you tend to overshoot target.
[08:51] {Threei} when you overshoot targets on each side and try to narrow the range of your movement, it's less optimal then slowly moving to the teraget and waiting for feedback to make its way through the system.
[08:51] {BillyD} the need for instant gratification
[08:51] {Threei} See analogy with 11 hikes, 13 cuts?
[08:52] {BillyD} yes
[08:52] {BillyD} back to same spot with big mess
[08:52] {Threei} yup
[08:52] {Threei} burned skin on one spots, frozen in otyhers
[08:53] {BillyD} man's need to always feel in control....reason to constantly monitor and change every month
[08:53] {BillyD} lol
[08:53] {Threei} read one bubble bursts, another is created
[08:53] {BillyD} what is next mania then?
[08:53] {cosmo} solar

[10:19] {dino} sometimes less is more ese
[10:20] {Threei} I'd prefer a bounce entry but there wasn't much of a bounce
[10:20] {esemde} If CSIQ makes it above 14.50 with any level of conviction it should go along way.....but then it's question of finding a proper entry point

[11:35] {BillyD} good enough for me
[11:39] {dino} 3i answering himself i see
[11:39] {Threei} it comes with certain age dino
[11:40] {Threei} since noone wants to talk to you anymore, you start finding consolation in impersonating your counterparts and having quite meaningful conversation
[11:42] {dino} unfortunately, i relate
[11:42] {BillyD} you both are a cure for one another
[11:42] {Threei} lol

[08:10] {Threei} but I know what you mean
[08:10] {Threei} I recieve e-mails saying things like

[08:11] {Threei} I take it as a great compliment, means book is really well written
[08:11] {Threei} not "flat"
[08:11] {BillyD} example...a trader must always be in continous learning and development
[08:12] {BillyD} whem we stop learning we close down the growth and capacity of our minds
[08:12] {BillyD} which can somewhat send us backwards by default

[08:12] {Threei} - Continuing Claims seen at 2.575M v prior 2.568M
[08:13] {Threei} or we simply fall behind
[08:13] {BillyD} yes
[08:13] {Threei} things change in markets,
[08:13] {Threei} not in fundamental way, but in tactical way
[08:13] {Threei} gotta roll with punches
[08:14] {Threei} mania in particular sector comes, you deploy different style of trading
[08:14] {BillyD} I think that is what takes the edge of tightness off
[08:14] {BillyD} flexible
[08:14] {Threei} right
[08:14] {Threei} mania ends, you go back to "regular" trading
[08:15] {Threei} when chinese stocks mania hit a while ago, my daily takeout increased by factor 3
[08:15] {BillyD} there is a difference between being disciplined in execution of trades and flexible in trading different mkts
[08:15] {Threei} would be a shame not to use such opportunity
[08:18] {BillyD} a key is finding your own edge or style of trading...setups you see that generate impulse to enter trade
[08:19] {Threei} bringing structure to chaos
[08:21] {BillyD} u don't have turkey day tomorrow right
[08:22] {Threei} no, ours happened at the end of Oct
[08:25] {Threei} what day(s) is market closed?
[08:25] {BillyD} tomorrow and half day friday
[08:25] {Threei} good thing I asked
[08:25] {BillyD} 1 pm ET on friday
[08:26] {BillyD} yes......
[08:26] {BillyD} do you know if your CPU is dual core or not
[08:26] {Threei} this holiday always gets me because of difference between Canada and US versions
[08:27] {Threei} how do I find that out? :)
[08:27] {BillyD} not sure
[08:27] {BillyD} age of your pc
[08:27] {BillyD} ?
[08:28] {Threei} year and half
[08:28] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} it's customary built so I don't have any manufacturer manuals
[08:29] {BillyD} maybe if it says "AMD 64 X2" what I can tell from Google
[08:29] {Threei} no x2
[08:29] {Threei} says 3200+
[08:29] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} whatever that means
[08:30] {Threei} it's 64 bit processor
[08:30] {BillyD} but AMD is faster than the single core Intel.....
[08:30] {Threei} *(CA) SEPT RETAIL SALES M/M: -0.2% V 0.0%E; LESS AUTO M/M: 0.1% V 0.3%E
[08:31] {Threei} maybe our loonie finally gives up
[08:31] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 330K V 330KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 2.566M V 2.575ME
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims Revised from 2.568M to 2.559M
[08:31] {Threei} yup, USD just shot up vs CAD... here is to hope
[08:32] {BillyD} the US debt gonna kill us globally
[08:32] {Threei} well, funny thing is so far it kills everyone else
[08:33] {Threei} it's like troubles are getting artfully exported
[08:33] {BillyD} kind of like cooking books
[08:33] {BillyD} sweeping under carpet
[08:33] {Threei} no, not really
[08:33] {Threei} everyone sees troubles
[08:34] {Threei} but heavy involvement of various world banks in subprime causes problems well outside of US borders,,
[08:35] {Threei} weakening dollar hits other countries first,
[08:35] {Threei} you will feel its impact later, when WalMart prices shoot up
[08:36] {BillyD} I see what u mean
[08:36] {BillyD} US can withstand losses a bit better
[08:37] {BillyD} they just print more bandaid money
[08:37] {Threei} whole world hopes so
[08:37] {Threei} well, except Chaves
[08:37] {Threei} :)
[08:37] {BillyD} yeah.....
[08:37] {Threei} well, printing banaid money gotta stop...
[08:37] {BillyD} printing more money just effects eventual debt problem
[08:38] {Threei} but for that someone would have to re-evaluate alan greenspan's legacy
[08:38] {BillyD} I saw him on TV prgram
[08:38] {Threei} and whole concept of monthly regulated interest rate
[08:39] {BillyD} and he said they were trying to raise interest rates but were too slow and was main reason we are in Real Estate fiasco
[08:39] {Threei} lol
[08:39] {BillyD} they made it too easy......a dash of greed and you know the rest
[08:39] {BillyD} greed from system players to the retail
[08:40] {Threei} everything is so clear in hindsight
[08:40] {Threei} but at the moment, they had a lot of pressing concerns making them lower rates
[08:40] {BillyD} greed is emotion....clouds judgement
[08:40] {Threei} and those concerns were very different
[08:41] {BillyD} yes with later effects
[08:41] {Threei} it's not that RE bubble bursted they see how they constructed it
[08:41] {Threei} not = now
[08:41] {Threei} back then they were saying great, rising re prices save our economy at the moment
[08:42] {BillyD} funny...all the things we learn in trading with emotions/discipline
[08:42] {Threei} cure vs illness anyone?
[08:42] {BillyD} is totally applicable to life
[08:42] {Threei} absolutely
[08:42] {BillyD} in trading....they are right in front of you...less forging or rewarding immediately
[08:42] {Threei} isn't it widelt acknowledged fact that rate change takes about 18 months to work its way through economy?
[08:42] {BillyD} in life provides life to denila
[08:43] {BillyD} denial
[08:43] {BillyD} yeaH...AND THEY HOPEW THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT WILL SUFFICE UNTIL WE GET THERE
[08:43] {BillyD} sorry
[08:43] {Threei} so how regulating them on monthly basis makes sense?
[08:44] {Threei} and how 11 hikes in a row, then 13 cuts in a row make sense?
[08:44] {BillyD} actually adds to nuerotcism
[08:44] {BillyD} too much volatility
[08:45] {BillyD} think about the childishness
[08:45] {Threei} they just added another factor in markets equation
[08:45] {BillyD} mkt gets rate cut.....immediately it iws ok when is our next one
[08:45] {BillyD} true another variable
[08:45] {Threei} no slightest evidence that since fed started regulating interest rate inflation is under more control or crises are less frequent
[08:46] {Threei} unpegging from gold standard is whole separate story
[08:46] {Threei} mad money printing/exporting
[08:47] {Threei} some business books have this analogy:
[08:47] {BillyD} well...it really comes down to the whole masses taking more responsibility for their lives, accountability, discipline, living within means, etc
[08:47] {Threei} you are trying to get the right water temperature in the shower with single handle
[08:47] {BillyD} lol
[08:47] {Threei} open it, it's scolding hot,
[08:48] {Threei} your first reaction is to turn it quickly to the opposite
[08:48] {Threei} water turns cold
[08:48] {Threei} you start controlling your movements
[08:48] {Threei} trying to get right temperature in the fork.
[08:48] {Threei} Eventually you succedd of course,
[08:48] {Threei} and it take certain time.
[08:49] {BillyD} a few burns here and there
[08:49] {Threei} So, this time is way longer
[08:49] {Threei} and effort is much greater
[08:49] {Threei} than it would be were you slowly moving the handle to the colder part of the range.
[08:49] {BillyD} isn't a system that feeds human weakness
[08:50] {Threei} it happenbs because of the delayed feedback
[08:50] {Threei} since temperature isn't changing immediately after your move,
[08:50] {Threei} you tend to overshoot target.
[08:51] {Threei} when you overshoot targets on each side and try to narrow the range of your movement, it's less optimal then slowly moving to the teraget and waiting for feedback to make its way through the system.
[08:51] {BillyD} the need for instant gratification
[08:51] {Threei} See analogy with 11 hikes, 13 cuts?
[08:52] {BillyD} yes
[08:52] {BillyD} back to same spot with big mess
[08:52] {Threei} yup
[08:52] {Threei} burned skin on one spots, frozen in otyhers
[08:53] {BillyD} man's need to always feel in control....reason to constantly monitor and change every month
[08:53] {BillyD} lol
[08:53] {Threei} read one bubble bursts, another is created
[08:53] {BillyD} what is next mania then?
[08:53] {cosmo} solar
[08:53] {Threei} I am buying all daffoldils I can get my hands on
[08:53] {BillyD} Global Warming
[08:54] {BillyD} just as Al Gore invented internet...GW next
[08:54] {Threei} tulips is too well known, daffodills is next best thing with different name
[08:55] {Threei} when each bulb of my King Alfred is sold for %199.99 you all will stop laughing
[08:57] {cosmo} once it costs only 30c per watt to make solar cells, we rock. Oil stays under ground, where it belongs
[08:58] {cosmo} ... and the economic displacement could be freightening... but, no matter...
[08:58] {BillyD} agree cosmo
[08:59] {BillyD} Realoity Trader saves the world with new policy abroad
[08:59] {cosmo} its an elephant in the room policy
