[09:03] {magoo} yep..i can understand it
[09:04] {Threei} http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fairvalue.asp
[09:04] {Threei} the futures market, fair value is the equilibrium price for a futures contract. This is equal to the spot price after taking into account compounded interest (and dividends lost because the investor owns the futures contract rather than the physical stocks) over a certain period of time.
[09:04] {Threei} The "fair value" quoted on TV refers to the relationship between the futures contract on a market index and the actual value of the index. If the futures are above fair value then traders are betting the market index will go higher, the opposite is true if futures are below fair value.

[08:43] {Threei} - Energy: Saudi Arabia Oil Min Naimi noted that his country has been working hard since June to raise its production output to help bring prices to current levels. Saudi reiterated that the market remains adequately well balanced. OPEC President Khelil stated that there was no need for production cuts at this time and noted that prices would continue to decline even if OPEC cut supply. The Iranian OPEC Gov says some OPEC Members see the need for quota adherence. A Libya says general mood in OPEC focuses towards enforcing compliance, not a cut in output ceiling. Libya stated that the world could cope with oil at $100 per barrel. The National Hurricane Center noted that Hurricane Ike was weakening and currently a category 1 storm. Ike was Expected to be in the South-Eastern Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday.

[08:30] {Threei} Good morning
[08:31] {magoo} hi vad
[08:31] {Threei} do you have any other words this morning but "holy mackerel"?
[08:32] {magoo} really...i tried to get in office to beat that big gap
[08:32] {magoo} but it hit aroiund 8 am
[08:32] {magoo} got here 8.20
[08:32] {Threei} you wouldn't anyway
[08:32] {Threei} things just open where they are
[08:33] {Threei} unless you were long from Fri close, it's a waste
[08:33] {esemde} morning...wow DJ up 2 billion
[08:33] {Threei} ese :)
[08:34] {esemde} can't recall the last time I saw it up like that.....on sunday even .....261pts
[08:34] {esemde} morning vad.....nice day here yesterday
[08:34] {Threei} well... these are times with probably no precedent
[08:35] {Threei} gorgeous weather
[08:36] {esemde} yes indeed ...lending people money who don't have the ability to pay it back.....
[08:38] {Threei} and then bailing lenders out with money of those who still can pay
[08:39] {Threei} WB looks the strongest among financials
[08:39] {esemde} they would have flunked the finance classes that i took anyway.....
[08:40] {Threei} my perception is, it's not even about finance
[08:41] {Threei} it's about major philosophy/ideology
[08:41] {Threei} it's a capitalism vs socialism issue
[08:42] {esemde} hmmmmmmm you've got me there....how do you figure
[08:42] {Threei} well... we let people and companies live with the outcomes of their own decisions,
[08:42] {esemde} yes that should be what happens
[08:43] {Threei} or we invoke govt's power to take money from responsible and bail out irresponsible
[08:43] {esemde} got it...
[08:43] {Threei} first is capitalism, second is redistribution of wealth on the base of need,
[08:43] {Threei} granted unearned to those who didn't esrned
[08:43] {Threei} earn
[08:46] {esemde} wachovia hasn't really been in as much trouble as some of the other banks has it

[09:21] {Threei} DISCUSSES EFFECT OF DECLINING COMMODITY PRICES ON BUSINESS
[09:21] {Threei} - AgFeed Benefits from Declining Commodity Prices and China's Harvest of New Crops
[09:21] {Threei} - Corn and soy bean meal are two major feed input costs for hog production. China is currently experiencing a year of good harvest in both domestic corn and soy bean crops. Prices for both commodity products have continued to decline and AgFeed is currently seeing expanded profit margins on hog production.
[09:21] {Threei} - Hog prices in our target markets of South China have increased steadily since cooler weather conditions in the fall and winter seasons are typically the strongest pork consumption months in China. Demand for live hogs continues to be strong. Market hogs are currently sold at more than $240 each based on 110kg in average weight
[09:21] {Threei} I don't get it cosmo

[09:22] {Threei} Based on the initial analyses, both clinical trials met the primary endpoint
[09:23] {Threei} there is a lot of non-understandable scientific drivel

[09:05] {Threei} - In the papers: The NY Times article suggested that Main Bank of China is in Need of Capital after a seven year buying spree of around $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed debt issued. The article noted that these investments have been declining sharply in value when converted from dollars into the strong CNY, casting a spotlight on the central bank's tiny capital base. The bank's capital, just $3.2 billion, has not grown during the buying spree, despite private warnings from the IMF

[09:26] {dino} lets remember a few rules
[09:26] {dino} good trading is not about being right, its' about trading right
[09:27] {dino} think in probabilities
[09:27] {dino} use your edge, manage your risk, be consistant, keep it simple
06[09:27] * Threei retires
[09:27] {dino} don't blame market or others for errors

[09:28] {dino} trading is not a sprint, its' boxing. you must remain in the ring
[09:28] {dino} risk is your friend, however traders expect to lose regularly
[09:29] {dino} and thats' it in a nutshell from me
[09:29] {_csepulve33} get ready for the battle
