Feb 03 2009

Started out rather slow, then the day picked up with a few nice wins, exceeding usual scalping profits. Long on STT, couple long trades on AMZN and short on FAS made the day.

[09:18] {Threei}  if market gains strength, techs perform well, and it breaks 8-8.40 zone, it's poised for 9 and above

[09:19] {Threei}  will also depend on whether their deal with retailers goes through

[09:19] {Threei}  with Best Buy particularly

[11:28] {Threei}  gotta time it with market mags

[11:29] {Threei}  looks like UPS gives little delay

[11:33] {Threei}  serious wekaness in financials

[11:36] {Threei}  with market revresing , starting to think, maybe let's short FAS

[11:37] {nemo} short fas/buy faz?

[11:37] {Threei}  if you prefer FAZ's volatility

[11:38] {Threei}  direction wise, it's the same play

[11:42] {fernp} good read with IP avoiding me go long :)

[11:44] {Threei}  FAS short entry around .80

[11:44] {Threei}  HIG yes, worth a try certainly

[11:44] {Threei}  with stop over 15

[11:44] {Threei}  FAS stop above .90

[11:45] {Threei}  FAZ acordingly... long off .50

[11:46] {Threei}  although with its volatility I don't even know where to place stop on it

[11:49] {Threei}  don't you hate these long pauses that totally kill the feel of direction

[12:19] {Threei}  FAS 1:2

[12:19] {Threei}  feel free to cover 1/4 more

[12:21] {Threei}  next leg of selling should take it to .50 - .55 where covering in full is reasonable

[12:23] {Threei}  C

[12:39] {Threei}  .70 held on FAS bounce

[12:39] {Threei}  now the question is can it make new lows

[12:40] {Threei}  if losing .55, most likely will dive under .50

[12:40] {Threei}  if breaks .70, means double bottom is confirmed, and our trailing stop for last part is located just perfectly

[12:42] {Threei}  mananshah... your e-mini plays are scalps, longer holds?

[12:43] {Threei}  if scalps, NQ looks good for a 2-3 points with 1997 break

[12:43] {Threei}  1197

[12:45] {Threei}  watch if FAS holding above .60 from now on

[12:45] {Threei}  if so, .70 break becomes a long trigger

[16:00] {magoo} ty all

Very nice day by any standard. 6 calls in the first half of the day, just one of them stopped. Then after the lunch inactive period we ended day with three quick scalps on HIG - today's hero. No complaints at all.

Session Time: Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 2009

[07:38] {Threei}  Good morning sleepless souls

[07:39] {tomg} morning :)

[07:39] {Threei}  tom :)

[07:39] {hawkfan4} good morning :)

[07:39] {Threei}  hawk :)

[07:39] {Threei}  and, foreseeing the future: nemo :)

[07:39] {nemo} harooo...yeah, up at 3:00 this morn.

[07:40] {Threei}  NQ - 19

[07:40] {Threei}  are we crashing finally

[07:41] {Threei}  whoever counted on bad bank news over weekend and kept FAS are waking up to unpleasant surprise

[07:42] {nemo} Buy and Hold...hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

[07:42] {hawkfan4} yeah, not a happy start to the week for the banks so far

[07:42] {Threei}  well, they'll have their laugh

[07:42] {Threei}  at least those who time their entries better

[07:43] {Threei}  (US) PRESIDENT OBAMA: REPORTEDLY ASKED TREASURY SEC TO FORMULATE GUIDELINES ON FINANCIAL RELIEF - TV INTERVIEW

[07:43] {Threei}  - Obama pledges to review the operations of the FDA.

[07:43] {Threei}  - It is likely that banks have not fully acknowledged their total losses, believes US is suffering from a "massive hangover"

[07:44] {nemo} Guidelines: spread legs, put head between knees, kiss financial ass good bye.

[07:44] {Threei}  "Buy American" provisions are met with massive backlash from leaders all over the world

[07:45] {nemo} History repeating itself..Ghost of Smoot Hawley

[07:48] {Threei}  I think it safe to say, so far market is very skeptical about new plan

[07:53] {nemo} Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will require banks to boost lending to consumers and companies in return for taxpayer aid from the $700 billion bailout fund, in a departure from Bush administration policy, a key lawmaker said. 

[07:53] {nemo} That's kinda' what got us in trouble in the first place when they pushed the poor/minority lending in sub-prime

[07:54] {Threei}  I guess the major question will be, how to draw a line between responsible lending and to anyone with a pulse

[07:55] {Threei}  potential for all kinds of fraud or simple irresponsibility is enormous

[07:55] {Threei}  "but you demanded I lend, so I did"

[07:56] {nemo} Goes with the territory.  It's to be expected.  Happens with every disaster

[08:03] {hawkfan4} HIG up a buck on Barrons article

[08:05] {Threei}  - positive article on Hartford Financial Services (HIG). The stock has been battered as its mark-to-market bond prices caused unrealized gross bond losses jump from $700M in December, 2007, to $11.6B last October. These are only theoretical losses (unless the bonds are actually sold), notes Barron's, and the 'stock looks like an ultracheap bet on recovery in the bond market,' adding it could double in the next few years.

[08:05] {Threei}  "it's not a loss until you sell"?

[08:06] {hawkfan4} lol

[08:19] {Threei}  could this opening look any uglier?

[08:19] {Threei}  BALTIC DRY BULK INDEX +2.7%, 10TH STRAIGHT INCREASE

[08:20] {nemo} Well...yes...we could be limit down

[08:20] {Threei}  look at DRYS

[08:21] {nemo} Coulda' rode that short for a couple of days.  No dead cat bounce...already embalmed

[08:21] {hawkfan4} sick

[08:21] {nemo} me or the market...watch it.

[08:22] {nemo} couple of stories this morning on railroad traffic and trucking probably didn't help DRYS

[08:26] {cujo} good morning

[08:26] {Threei}  cujo :)

[09:11] {Threei}  NYMEX MAR CRUDE MOVES BELOW THE $40/BARREL LEVEL

[09:12] {Threei}  my working assumption for the day:

[09:13] {Threei}  failed bounce attempt at the open, strong selloff, sizeable bounce midday, miserable closing

[10:15] {cujo} great call on SMH

[10:16] {_buyemsellem} very nice on SMH Vad thanks

[10:16] {Threei}  welcome guys

[10:16] {Threei}  we maybe a bit too careful this morning, taking profits rather quickly

[10:16] {Threei}  but with that opening we had, only reckless would act any differently

[10:16] {cujo} gunshy from last week

[10:17] {_buyemsellem} I'm stop trailing with half my SMH

[10:17] {Threei}  where is your stop now?

[10:17] {_buyemsellem} .35

[10:17] {Threei}  easy to tag on accidental downtick...

[10:18] {_buyemsellem} true

[10:18] {Threei}  my idea of trailing would be .29

[10:18] {_buyemsellem} got it

[10:19] {Threei}  see 10:14 and 10:15 candles

[10:19] {Threei}  those define new support at this point

[10:23] {Threei}  - signed research partnership contracts with DuPont, University of Toronto and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The partnership with DuPont will focus on improving our solar grade cells. The research center is the only provincially accredited PV cell research center in Jiangsu Province. It is currently staffed by 20 scientists, engineers and technicians, four of whom have PhD''s.

[10:23] {Threei}  - The center will ultimately have a staff of 38. The 1500 M2 facility will cost a total of $10M, with the bulk of the expenditures paid in 2008.

[10:24] {dino} bth

[10:31] {Threei}  ok guys, so far so good,

[10:31] {Threei}  and this pullback doesn't really feels to me as another one to buy

[10:31] {Threei}  rather trend reversal

[10:32] {Threei}  not looking for longs here,and will be looking for short on bounce with double top scenario

[10:32] {Threei}  we are 3/12 for 4

[10:32] {cujo} ;)

[10:33] {Threei}  should I have been smarter and taken full profit on a first trade, would be 4 for 4

[10:33] {Onix} gj Vad, thanks

[10:34] {Threei}  but I reserve my right to be dense sometimes... it's basic human right enshrined in Constitution

[10:34] {Threei}  at least in the version I remember

[10:34] {nemo} your in Canada

[10:34] {magoo} and its DRYS too..has become a serial disappointer 

[10:34] {nemo} Doesn't that make you a British subject?

[10:35] {Threei}  I guess

[10:37] {magoo} tired..dino threw a whopper of a superbowl party

[10:37] {Threei}  FAS high is 9.10, for a double top purposes

[10:38] {magoo} HIG blast off

[10:39] {dino} sm l mcd .60

[10:41] {Threei}  FAS over 9 was pretty much a blind guess as for precise price of entry

[10:42] {Threei}  if ou went in on a general double top idea, stop is above .10, and let it trade after taking half off

[10:42] {Threei}  if not, don't chase

[10:43] {KSystems} SMN l hl .23 stopped -.35

[10:43] {Threei}  look at SMH

[10:43] {Threei}  perfect double top

[10:44] {KSystems} FAZ l sm .02 - out half +.29 - out rest .+58

[10:44] {Threei}  nice

[10:44] {KSystems} WL s hl .38

[10:44] {KSystems} PEC s hl .11

[10:44] {KSystems} EWZ s hl .21

[10:45] {KSystems} EWZ out half +.18

[10:46] {Threei}  if looking for short entry on FAS on bounce, see if we get mid .90s with stop above 9.05

[10:49] {KSystems} WL out half +.14

[10:52] {Threei}  FAS should become bounce-worthy around .60

[10:55] {cujo} Vad, any read on HIG here?

[10:56] {Threei}  it's bounce-bound, just can't tell off 14 or after breakdown

[10:56] {Threei}  quick dive under 14 would be prefect

[10:56] {cujo} ok, thought it might be a candidate here. got ya

[10:56] {cujo} will keep aneye out

[10:56] {cujo} thanks

[10:56] {Threei}  it is candidate for sure

[10:57] {nemo} that'll hurt cujo

[11:02] {Threei}  if triggers from here, stop is obviously under 14

[08:53] {cosmo} http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/47.49.-123.-121.php

[08:53] {Onix} Good morning all

[08:53] {dino} ks dcc please

[08:53] {Threei}  onix :)

[08:56] {Threei}  got e-mail from someone who reads our trading logs saying:

[08:56] {Threei}  in case you are wondering what is behind PALM move,

[08:56] {Threei}  it's about to become a subject of bidding war

[08:56] {Threei}  initiated by DELL seeking entry in smartphone market

[08:57] {Threei}  and continued by AAPL and RIMM trying to prevent DELL from getting hands on PALM's echnoogy

[08:57] {elepet} good morning

[08:57] {cujo} morning el

[08:57] {Threei}  elepet :)

[08:58] {hawkfan4} i heard PALM tries really hard to keep their echnoogy a secret

[08:58] {elepet} and PALM moving up again

[08:58] {Threei}  not that I put any faith into "insider secrets" disseminated by e-mail

[08:58] {nemo} very logical though

[08:59] {Threei}  or have enough industry knowledge to evaluate the probability

[09:00] {dino} dell did announce phone entry last night

[09:00] {Threei}  01/29/09 07:04pm

[09:00] {Threei}  [DELL] Dell Inc May seek to move into the mobile phone business as early as next month - WSJ

[09:00] {Threei}  - Company is said to have a team of engineers working on the phones for over a year, focusing on "smart-phone" models

[09:01] {nemo} No.  But if you look at Dell, it runs from back office to desktop to mobile computing, that's basically what a PALM is, mobile computing.  Apple is primarily desktop, and with the Iphone-mobile computing.  RIMM-mobile computing.  Dell is in both business and consumer.  Apple-primarily consumer, RIMM-primarily business

[09:01] {Threei}  doesn't sound like they are gunning for PALM

[09:11] {ese} god morning

[09:11] {Threei}  ese :)

[09:11] {dino} complex

[09:11] {ese} Vad ,patience Dp.......you guys feel the earthquake about 5:20 am heere?

[09:12] {Threei}  no... reports said 4.6 in seattle

[09:12] {magoo} vad..whats the setup AMZN today?

[09:13] {Threei}  what do you mean today

[09:14] {Threei}  it's not like there is one setup for the day :)

[09:14] {magoo} well..its gonna be a player

[09:14] {magoo} but it may pullbk..or at open may run

[09:14] {Threei}  yes... but I don't know how to answer your question :)

[09:14] {Threei}  it will shape up to something

[09:14] {magoo} are u moody AGAIN

[09:14] {Threei}  again?

[09:14] {Threei}  ALWAYS!

[09:14] {magoo} ok ALWAYS

[09:15] {Threei}  there

[09:15] {nemo} battle plans only survive until initial engagement

[09:15] {magoo} there we go thinking alike

[09:15] {Threei}  ese, you felt it?

[09:17] {dino} you guys are tense today....take a chill

[09:17] {ese} ya thats what got me up

[09:17] {Threei}  we are dino... earthquake, you know :)

[09:17] {Threei}  wow... how come I haven't heard anything

[09:18] {Threei}  it's not like we are that far from each other

[09:18] {ese} I hate earthquakes.....any other disaster OK but earthquakes..........

[09:18] {Threei}  you would think if quake felt at your part from as far as Seattle, I should have felt it too

[09:18] {ese} at least you can see other things and have a chance to react.....but not an earthquake......

[09:19] {Threei}  sooo... our candidates so far PLAM, GERN, FAS

[09:19] {ese} it just hits you.......not time to react......give me tornados over this

[09:19] {Threei}  AMZN a bit later I think

[09:19] {Threei}  gotta let it calm down a little

[09:20] {dino} you see on trhe moon where i live, no earthquakes, tornados, etc. just snow, ice, cold

[09:20] {ese} I'll take it!!!!!

[09:20] {Threei}  nah... I'll take earthquake over ice and snow

[09:21] {cosmo} i like snow

[09:21] {Threei}  that's because you see it once every 15 years

[09:21] {cosmo} 25

[09:21] {Threei}  I've had my share... won't miss it it for another 25 years

[09:21] {Threei}  and then I die

[09:21] {Threei}  happily

[09:21] {fernp} Hello everybody

[09:21] {Threei}  fern :)

[09:22] {ese} fern

[09:22] {Threei}  PREVIEW: JAN FINAL UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN CONFIDENCE INDEX DUE OUT AT 9:55AMET

[09:22] {Threei}  **consensus expectation: 61.9e v 61.9 preliminary

[09:22] {Threei}  - analyst estimates range between 60 and 65

[09:23] {Threei}  PALM, GERN, FAS, RIMM, AMZN

[09:23] {Threei}  and whatever scanner spits out

[09:23] {nemo} If you play FAS doesn't that bring FAZ in also...why or why not?

[09:24] {nemo} I mean...Yin and Yang, if you're into that sort of thing :)

[09:24] {Threei}  FAZ is much more volatile, thin, much hardcer to control risk

[09:24] {Threei}  look how much it dropped vs FAS spike

[09:25] {Threei}  60 cents on FAS vs 4 bucks on FAZ

[09:26] {nemo} yes, although there chart's are mirror images (almost)?

[09:26] {Threei}  sure

[09:26] {Threei}  you can play it if you are into that sort of thing, using FAS for read

[09:26] {Threei}  as it has smoother charts and easier triggers and stop to define

[09:26] {nemo} yeah, I like pain

[09:27] {nemo} oh "their charts"  damn english

[09:27] {cosmo} JNPR

[09:42] {Threei}  but it should bust through it

[09:43] {Threei}  here is pullback

[09:43] {Threei}  maybe this way:

[09:43] {Threei}  half lot near .30

[09:43] {Threei}  stop under .10

[12:10] {dawg} OK

[12:11] {dawg} ).

[12:15] {Threei}  s far so good

[12:16] {Threei}  not a stellar day by any means but more or less decent, even though not very active

[12:16] {Threei}  I just don't want to push too much, this week was fairlty cold one

[12:17] {Threei}  so, plan at this point is to trade at reasonably low level of activity until performance picks up again,

[12:17] {Threei}  then increase activity

[12:17] {Threei}  sounds good?

[12:17] {hawkfan4} yessir

[12:27] {Threei}  good afternoon vinthhombre, welcome

[12:28] {_vinthombre} Good afternnon, thanks

[12:28] {Threei}  about that ATHX

[12:29] {Threei}  I don't have clear recipe how to play this kind of stock

[12:29] {Threei}  it's too weird for me

[12:29] {nemo} I'll leave that alone

[12:29] {Threei}  at your discretion guys, who sees play - fine

[12:29] {Threei}  from the way it trades, it's probably not a day trade

[12:43] {Threei}  58 is closest chart support for AMZN

[12:43] {Threei}  it's likely to break it iof tested though, I wouldn't jump in it for bounce just yet

[12:43] {Threei}  rather let it break and look for bounce from under 58

[12:49] {dino} real$ is cracking me up. all the writers wanted obama and dems in the election. now, since they see what garbage they are pushing in the 800 b bill, they are all complaining about same old same old. so much for "change"

[12:49] {nemo} Anyway to play break of resistance on FAS?

[12:50] {Threei}  nemo, it's a valid play but I would prefger to play it conservatively

[12:50] {Threei}  wait for pullback

[12:50] {Threei}  if none comes, you miss the play, big deal

[12:50] {Threei}  but nothing went up without a few shakeouts this week

[12:50] {nemo} Mrs. Lincoln again...bet she wishes they missed the play :)

[12:50] {Threei}  lol

[12:52] {Threei}  9.75 - 9.80 zone is closest support

[12:52] {Threei}  if you tried 9.90 break, you would be in doubt at this point

[12:58] {Threei}  you are already over 1:1

[12:59] {Threei}  compare it with .90 entry... enduring 10 cents pullback and being uo now just 3-5 cents

[12:59] {nemo} yeah...too much gray hair already

[13:00] {Threei}  this kind of entries is the way to go in this market

[13:23] {Threei}  well, I actually took offense at "right now"

[13:24] {Threei}  as if there are times when I am not

[13:24] {nemo} you're bi-polar

[13:25] {Threei}  don't take FAS here this time

[13:28] {Threei}  :)

[13:29] {Threei}  tell me this market is not bipolar

[13:29] {hawkfan4} really is

[13:29] {nemo} O.K.  the market isn't bipolar

[13:29] {Threei}  spike out of nowhere, then sharp drop out of that same place

[13:30] {dino} scalpers market only

[13:31] {Threei}  totally

[13:32] {Threei}  now we know for sure, market wants bad bank

[13:32] {hawkfan4} guess he kept his job after dropping the f-bomb yesterday

[13:32] {nemo} Did he say F***** Bad Bank today

[13:32] {nemo} hawk

[13:32] {Threei}  that's third confirmation, can't be coincidence

[13:33] {hawkfan4} dunno nemo

[13:34] {Threei}  the second they say bad bank goes ahead, I just hope we have a fraction of second to buy all FAS we can afford

[13:35] {nemo} Thank god for margin...but they'll do it over the weekend

[13:35] {Threei}  then we will be left in the dust

[13:36] {Threei}  but if we get so lucky, make sure you took out second, third and fourth mortgae, sold family posessions, wife and kids, and bought all FAS you could

[13:36] {nemo} Bad bank will have all the banks in accumulation mode.  Willain's stuff...

[13:37] {KSystems} SYKE half out +.23

[13:37] {nemo} Reminds me of joke.  "My wife said, "You either stop hunting, or I'm leaving."..................."I'm gonna' miss my wife."

[13:38] {nemo} That croaked the small cap triple also

[13:38] {Threei}  mine jujst read these lines, musingly asked where the buy button is, where to type FAS, and went to phone someone asking whether she could sell me to them

[13:38] {nemo} hehehehe

[13:39] {Threei}  drop is not done yet

[13:39] {dino} i guess i am an idiot, but fdic insures banks, they should be pre=packing bankruptcies and letting the strong pick up the leftovers. i know alot of our local bank officers...they are going gangbusters picking up loans they never had shpts at before. let the system work

[13:40] {Threei}  you are coming from assumption that capitalism should have a chance dino... it's not assumption they operate on

[13:40] {dino} also, ford hasn't taken govt. $$$ but chrysler and gm have. its unfair, let them pre-package bankruptcy, ford picks up the slack. c'mon!

[13:40] {Threei}  whoa GS

[13:41] {dino} but you know what vad, capitalism has worked here for 220 years, one or two bad years should not alter the entire model

[13:41] {Threei}  moreso, it was not capitalism that failed

[13:41] {Threei}  it was injection of socialistic ideas in it

[13:42] {Threei}  but, who are you going to tell that? to socialists?

[13:42] {KSystems} AYE out 1/4 +.42

[13:42] {dino} yes! 

[13:42] {Threei}  KS, this is really irritating

[13:42] {KSystems} wooo-hoooo

[13:42] {dino} and ks, gfj again

[13:42] {Threei}  stop that

[13:42] {KSystems} thanks dino

[13:42] {Threei}  btw guys notice:

[13:42] {Threei}  financiaals drop like there is no tomorrow

[13:42] {Threei}  look at KLAC for instance

[13:43] {Threei}  RIMM

[13:43] {Threei}  nowehere that bad

[13:43] {dino} this is your market ks

[13:43] {Threei}  and some are actually holding nicely

[13:43] {Threei}  this is our clue to the future rally,

[13:43] {dino} but vad look at aapl and many others

[13:43] {Threei}  most likely led by other sectors, not finjancials

[13:44] {Threei}  AAPL barely came to prvious low

[13:44] {Threei}  look at GS

[13:44] {Threei}  buck and half below previous low before first bounce attempt

[13:45] {dino} still dropped hard imo

[13:45] {Threei}  ok, let' watch FAS for pullback and double bottom

[13:45] {Threei}  sure... I am talking about relative strength

[13:48] {Threei}  pullback under .20 was too fast and shallow to get in

[13:49] {Threei}  I was waiting for something close to .10

[13:55] {Threei}  jeez

[13:55] {Threei}  I started typing FAS at .21

[13:56] {Threei}  and it was above .30 before I could finish

[13:56] {Threei}  what the

[13:56] {Threei}  who said what where this time?

[13:57] {cujo} fas makin moves

[14:19] {KSystems} i put my strategy in, not touching it anymore

[14:19] {KSystems} lol

[14:19] {KSystems} need some market help to the downside

[14:50] {Threei}  it is - if you look for way to trurn recession into depression

[14:52] {nemo} feels like market is just going to fizzle to the close...then again...wouln't be the first time I was wrong today.

[14:52] {Threei}  really?

[14:52] {Threei}  hmmm

[14:52] {Threei}  I for one am never wrong

[14:52] {Threei}  I am early

[14:53] {nemo} look at volume...

[14:54] {KSystems} EQY stopped -.25

[14:56] {dino} so, let me see, the plan is to 1) keep insolvent companies alive 2) keep their current (mis)management 3) add protectionism 4) give unions more power 5) increase welfare payments 6) tax the income earners even more

[14:57] {dino} sounds more like a kingdom than a country

[14:57] {Threei}  7) limit trade with other countries

[14:57] {dino} "change is coming" just forgot to mention towards socialism

[14:58] {magoo} I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TRADING ROOM
