[10:22] {magoo} rread RIMM vad?

[10:26] {ese} vad when your right your really right.....like you said the other day.....the market and only the market will decide when this rally is over......
[10:26] {Threei} yeah, too many predictors
[10:26] {JohnK} we are the market
[10:27] {Threei} everyione is a prophet
[10:27] {Threei} let me be one of not many who says:
[10:27] {Threei} I have no idea when this rally ends
[10:27] {Threei} I will trade what I see, day by day
[10:27] {jfjf64} boy oh boy amsc
[10:28] {ese} naz basically has another 150 pts to go....the way i see it technicaly
[10:28] {ese} but who knows
[10:28] {Threei} all those predictions and prophets... they throw their forecasts out there, and if something works they tout it
[10:29] {Threei} if it doesn't, they conviniently forget all about it
[10:30] {jfjf64} took 1.00 out of it guess sd be happy

[10:36] {Threei} offering the balance .20
[10:36] {wulff} had a hard stop for HGSI at .50, close one
[10:37] {JohnK} I thought that .6 had invalidated that RIMM call
[10:37] {jfjf64} 1/2 out half
[10:37] {Threei} 1 cent under on a sharp spike down?
[10:37] {Threei} not something to impact such volatile one as RIMM

[12:44] {Threei} if you went for RIMM, 1:1 was reached
[12:44] {_matt} genz read?
[12:44] {Threei} if not... why do yuo ask me about BRCM, to have another comment to ignore? {G}
[12:45] {Threei} GENZ is rather short
[12:45] {Threei} with stop above 56.10
[12:45] {Threei} but it's like 51/49
[12:46] {Threei} anyway, BRCM is rather no play at all
[12:46] {_matt} I was thinking 56.10 break
[12:46] {_matt} with 55.99 stop
[12:46] {Threei} which would be an invalidation of that short, thus legitimate long
[12:50] {patel} AKAM is like a rollercoaster
[12:50] {Threei} only very small one
[12:50] {patel} yup
[12:51] {Threei} like you go through its swings with your eyes only, not with whole body, lol
[12:52] {nemo} so, the spins when you're really drunk?
[12:52] {_matt} is akam one that you are familar with?
[12:53] {nemo} yep
[12:54] {Threei} we uaed to play it now and then if that's wat you mean
[12:55] {patel} good thing is we might get through the lunchtime slowdown
[12:55] {_matt} yes
[12:55] {patel} threei, what has your experience beenw hen a stock like AKAM is acting this way. Does it work out good for you in the end?
[12:55] {Threei} Preview: Treasury's $28B 7-year note auction results due out just after 1pmET
[12:55] {Threei} - $28B is a $1B increase from the June auction
[12:55] {Threei} - prior bid-to-cover was 2.82 pushing the average of the first 5 auctions since the Feb $22B relaunch up to 2.40
[12:55] {Threei} - indirect bidders took 67.2% of competitive bids at last auction, while 13.2% was alloted at the high
[12:55] {Threei} - the When Issued currently yields 3 basis points above the cash maket at 3.38%
[12:56] {Threei} I don't think you can generalize it like this
[12:56] {Threei} some work, some don't
[12:56] {nemo} put tbt and tlt on your screens :)
[12:57] {Threei} you can get stopped and think why didn't I dump it when it stalled for so long
[12:57] {Threei} or you may dump it and then watch it rocketing and think why did I ever sell it, it never tagged my stop
[12:58] {Threei} attempts to outguess the market and avoid all undesirable outcomes are akin to attempts to trade with no losses
[12:58] {Threei} which is is a pipe dream
[12:59] {Threei} AAPL Reportedly researchers have found a security vulnerability in Apple iPhone that allows hacker to take over the handset by sending an SMS message to the phone
[12:59] {Threei} oh good
[12:59] {jfjf64} l jpm .72
[12:59] {Threei} if I stick to electornic cigarette, will I ever see a day when hackers take it over?
[13:01] {nemo} they must have liked the auction, tbt just tanked
[13:01] {Threei} TREASURY'S $28B 7-YEAR NOTE AUCTION BID-TO-COVER RATIO: 2.63 V 2.82 PRIOR AND 2.40 OVER THE LAST FIVE
[13:02] {jfjf64} 1/1 out

[13:35] {_matt} is hig a call that you are going to trade?
[13:37] {Threei} I don't understand matt
[13:37] {Threei} you like - you take
[13:37] {Threei} what does it matter to you who else is going to do it?
[13:38] {magoo} sheesh..give new kid a break lol
[13:39] {Threei} did you get any?
[13:39] {magoo} now if that was nemo.well
[13:39] {Threei} and look how well you turned out, my son
[13:39] {magoo} whats it matter if i got any HIG?
[13:40] {_matt} trying to clarify if they are trades that you are calling or answering question like when I asked about genz
[13:40] {Threei} I get it... I just am not sure why it matters :)
[13:41] {Threei} ultimately, any trade decision comes to individual choice
[13:41] {Threei} either you like the trade, it fits in your prfoile so to speak,
[13:41] {Threei} your objectives, risk tolerance etc
[13:42] {Threei} type of the movement
[13:42] {Threei} or not
[13:42] {dino} the vad "disclaimer", :)
[13:42] {Threei} it matters not whether someone else goes for it or not
[13:42] {_matt} from your website i know you go over a certain thought process and am just learning
[13:42] {Threei} in trading there is no reward for being part of the group or being against the group
[13:43] {_matt} the tendancies of your trading style while developing my own
06[13:43] * magoo slaps laserdave around a bit with a large trout
[13:43] {Threei} yes.. but the thought process is the same whether stock came up on a scanner, or someone asked abotu it or I stumbled over it while surfing through usual suspects
[13:43] {Threei} all of that serves as just an initial point,
[13:43] {Threei} stock is being brought to attention
[13:44] {Threei} Then it's just a chart evaluation
[13:44] {Threei} all sources are equal except one:
[13:44] {_matt} and you normally do not trade when the market is sideways, so if this is a call then i can further understand how you trade
[13:44] {Threei} when magoo brings a stock to my atention I tend to lower my odds {G}
[13:45] {Threei} let's say, I am more picky
[13:45] {Threei} less aggressive
[13:45] {magoo} that does really does it...............
[13:45] {Threei} doesn't mean I don't trade at all
06[13:45] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[13:46] {Threei} you could notice I decrease activity when morning rush is over
[13:47] {_matt} definitely, the reason why I am curious about hig is because the market strength and a possible formation of cup and handle because of that
[14:07] {jfjf64} s amex .46 trigger here
[14:22] {jfjf64} out amex even
[14:24] {jfjf64} vad tk read ggc anythin
[14:26] {jfjf64} crazy spread
[14:29] {Threei} shrug
[14:30] {jfjf64} what all in coma
[14:30] {Threei} GGC is certainly not the stock to make me come out of coma
[14:33] {Threei} AKAM... is it for real... or am I dreaming
[14:34] {jfjf64} go bk to sleep
[14:35] {Threei} ok... but I am out AKAM

[15:11] {Threei} I looked. It hurt.
[15:12] {Threei} as jf would say, sd hv listnd to u
[15:22] {Threei} LVS and MGM move independently of market
[15:23] {Threei} my guess was they followed WYNN, but no, not really
[15:29] {Threei} maybe bounce scalp worthy off .20
[15:34] {Threei} WYNN Wedbush Morgan Cuts WYNN to Hold from Buy (timing uncertain
[15:35] {Threei} shrug
[15:35] {Threei} killjoy

[15:55] {Threei} sharp drop into close, not really looking good for uptrend continuation
[15:55] {_matt} thank you

Jul 29 2009

[10:11] {Threei} IMMU Hearing renewed takeover chatter circulating (435.50, -4.35, -0.99%)

[10:24] {jfjf64} i sleein i guess ya in hgsi yet
[10:25] {wulff} in .18
[10:27] {_matt} on wfc this morning it spiked way up while hitting the entry, would it be a consideration for selling into the fast buying action?
[10:28] {_matt} with volume
[10:29] {Threei} you mean after triggering?
[10:29] {Threei} or coming into trigger?
[10:29] {_matt} coming into triggger it hit it, i got in and it went to .46 on the same 1 min candle
[10:30] {Threei} *DOE CRUDE: +5.15M V -1ME; GASOLINE: -2.31M V -600KE; DISTILLATE: +2M V +1ME
[10:31] {Threei} such spikes often signal exhaustion, yes
[10:31] {Threei} to take scalp or partial out is kind of personal preference
[10:32] {_matt} I was going to partial but scalped with that price action, do you indicate when you intend to partial or scalp?
[10:32] {Threei} usually yes
[10:33] {Threei} sometimes I forget
[10:33] {Threei} most oftenb if there is no indication, it's for your discretion,
[10:33] {Threei} and if I feel strongly one way or another, I say "not a scalp for me"
[10:34] {Threei} or "just a scalp"
[10:34] {_matt} it seems that when you partial it gives you a risk free way of taking advantage of a possible big move
[10:35] {Threei} true, buit the downside is a chance of profits evaporating
[10:35] {Threei} tradeoffs...
[10:35] {Threei} everything is a compromise

[11:05] {Threei} no idea but it just must be
[11:05] {BillyD} by default nemo it seems
[11:06] {nemo} you can't blame somebody who is here. You have to blame somebody who isn't so they can't defend themselves
[11:06] {magoo} CAT could be candidate lord vader

[11:15] {magoo} bears will prolly make an attempt to squash mkt ...but will fail..and vads rally will hit
[11:16] {BillyD} puitting up a fight though
[11:16] {Threei} that's my story so far mags
[11:16] {Threei} sticking to it until proven otherwise
[11:16] {Threei} and trying to get a feel for NVAX... done or resting before another rocket
[11:18] {magoo} u just better get it right, i will be loading the boat if u get my drift
[11:19] {Threei} no pressure eh?
[11:19] {magoo} im serious..BIG shares if IF

[11:19] {BillyD} lol
[11:19] {Threei} WFC invalidated for now
[11:20] {nemo} so, it's a short?
[11:20] {magoo} billy, he works best when i moltivate him:)
[11:20] {nemo} :)
06[11:20] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large anti-motivating device
[11:22] {nemo} yeah, but that rash never goes away
[11:22] {magoo} u just focus he he
[11:22] {Threei} NVAX is too volatile for such precision as dime
[11:23] {Threei} just a fair warning
[11:24] {Threei} IACI CEO: We can compete in search, this is still a very dynamic, growing area of the internet - conf call
[11:24] {Threei} Bing is definitely an improvement over Microsoft's previous attempts at search.
[11:24] {Threei} - "Some people out there refer to IACI as #3 in search."
[11:24] {Threei} well... some people think I can sing
[11:26] {nemo} yeah, but they're deaf
[11:26] {Threei} that's my point
[11:27] {Threei} Long Setup: NVAX .95
[11:27] {Threei} stop under .80
[11:27] {Threei} risky as hell
[11:27] {Threei} and if triggers,
[11:27] {Threei} Long Setup: BCRX
[11:27] {Threei} right here
[11:27] {Threei} stop under .30
[11:28] {nemo} what was right here?
[11:28] {Threei} it's still right here
[11:29] {magoo} futes still rotting
[11:29] {Threei} I don't think this couple cares much about them at this point
[11:31] {Threei} they have their own momo that either continues or dies down
[11:32] {Threei} NVAX if works, not a scalp for me
[11:32] {Threei} will try to partial
[11:33] {Threei} next spike should take it into 1:1
[11:35] {magoo} vad, keep eye on HGSI
[11:35] {Threei} can't
[11:35] {Threei} one on NVAX, one on BCRX, third in comaa
[11:36] {Threei} there... 1:1 NVAX
[11:36] {Threei} half out
[11:37] {Threei} stop to undr .90 for the balance
[11:40] {Threei} hurry up BCRX, your turn
[11:41] {patel} i was away from my desk what was the entry in BCRX
[11:41] {Threei} .39 - .40
[11:41] {ese} i smell more money in mee once this shakeout is done
[11:41] {Threei} but it's a complemetary play to NVAX
[11:43] {Threei} Attention: NVAX stop for the balance to under .95
[11:44] {Threei} mags, are you breathing over there?
[11:45] {Threei} next partial exit for NVAX is .22
06[11:46] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large defibrillator
[11:47] {magoo} yea
[11:47] {Threei} just making sure you are partialling out... you know, the best way to get killed is to go for a kill
[11:48] {Threei} ok, next leg up is coming
[11:50] {Threei} here it is
[11:50] {Threei} direct hit
[11:50] {Threei} 1/4 more out
[11:50] {Threei} stop to .99
[11:51] {fernp} nice call Vad
[11:51] {nemo} wish you hadn't said "Risky as hell"
[11:51] {nemo} :)
[11:52] {Threei} well, it is
[11:52] {nemo} yep
[11:53] {Threei} look at the high so far
[11:53] {Threei} .23
[11:53] {Threei} is that a precision on exit or what
[11:53] {Threei} okay, your chpices on last portion:
[11:53] {Threei} stop under 5,
[11:54] {Threei} either exit into spike over .30, most likely closer to .40
[11:54] {Threei} or continue trailing it
[11:54] {Threei} I'll give trailing levels as it goes
[11:59] {magoo} which?
[11:59] {magoo} as i run for cover lol
[11:59] {Threei} which what?

[12:45] {Threei} Evergreen Solar Inc In Cooperation with Export-Import Bank of United States, Offers Low-Interest Loans for Solar Projects Outside of United States
[12:45] {Threei} - announced it is working with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) to provide attractive low-interest financing for solar projects using Evergreen Solar panels outside of the United States. The program is intended to spur the export of U.S.-made renewable energy products and is part of a mandate in Ex-Im Banks Congressional Charter. Currently, Evergreen Solar customers have almost 90MW of projects in varying stages of the loan application process with Ex-Im Bank.
[12:45] {Threei} - For example, a solar project using $10M of Evergreen Solar panels would receive up to $8.5M in financing for the purchase of the solar panels and up to $3M to cover installation, design, engineering, inverting, racking and other installation-related expenses. Ex-Im Bank currently offers a 4.9% fixed interest rate over an 18-year period for solar installations outside of the United States.

[13:27] {magoo} i took that
[13:27] {Threei} sigh
[13:27] {magoo} huh?
[13:27] {Threei} go away :)
[13:27] {magoo} im confused
[13:28] {Threei} as if you don't know, I'd never buy such sharp spike into resistance
[13:30] {larisa} how about its run from 75.60 and pullback exactly half way to 75.90, do not like this setup too? { just trying to wake you up}
[13:31] {Threei} I do... but I am really unclear on why you would want to wake me up
[13:32] {nemo} now that's dumb
[13:32] {larisa} caz lately it is becoming my favorite setup, want to share :)
06[13:32] * larisa slaps nemo around a bit with a large trout
[13:32] {Threei} by all means
[13:32] {nemo} I'm talking about Vad's comment
[13:32] {larisa} lol
[13:32] {larisa} sorry
[13:32] {Threei} nemo commented, what's the word nowadays... "stupidly"
06[13:32] * nemo ponders Larry's name on the DPWFL????
06[13:33] * nemo pencil or pen?
[13:33] {nemo} yeah, they're having a beer tonight. Poor Crowley is being set up for Grandstanding
[13:33] {Threei} yeah
[13:33] {Threei} but a lot of damage is done anyway
[13:34] {nemo} to Crowley, not to Gates
[13:34] {Threei} no
[13:34] {Threei} up to t-shirts saying 'I am with Stupidly",
[13:34] {larisa} so vad admit, that 76 cross on RIMM kinda make sense {a bit late entry}
[13:34] {Threei} or "Stupid is as Stupdily does"
[13:35] {nemo} I think I might have to get one of those
[13:35] {Threei} nope... not to me
[13:35] {nemo} you're a ruscanuck
[13:35] {nemo} I live right in the middle of this taurine excrement
[13:36] {Threei} guess who is on tv
[13:36] {nemo} George Bush?
[13:37] {Threei} you wish
[13:40] {larisa} vad you ever watch intraday what stock does on longer timeframe when looking for trade, or it is 1 min always?
[13:42] {Threei} no, i have daily chart for each of them as well
[13:43] {Threei} want to see where it is in a bigger picture
[13:43] {larisa} k
[13:43] {Threei} just to illustrate something,
[13:44] {Threei} look at JAZZ daily for the, let's say 6-7 months
[13:44] {Threei} quite something, right?
[13:44] {larisa} yeah
[13:45] {Threei} or IMMU
[13:45] {Threei} obviously I will take such play quite differently from DRYS
[13:46] {Threei} even though they are in the same price range
[13:46] {Threei} Fed's Yellen: Fed will not repeat mistakes in 60s and 70s where the Fed lost containment of inflation; now is not the right time for rate hikes

[13:58] {Threei} looks like market is trying to do just what I said
[14:01] {Threei} CAT
[14:01] {Threei} watching for bounce off this pullback,
[14:01] {Threei} ideally closer to .70
[14:01] {ese} i'm back.......
[14:02] {ese} can't remember what you said vad?
[14:02] {Threei} first strength from here CAT
[14:02] {ese} bounce off pullback
[14:03] {Threei} [11:23] {Alert} Threei time for market to shake out the coma and remind everyone that rally is over when it's over - not when everyone says it's over
[14:04] {ese} tks
[14:04] {ese} is it just as hat over at your place as it is here.......
[14:04] {ese} hot
[14:04] {Threei} I think so
[14:05] {ese} brutal here..... over 30 cel
[14:05] {ese} and our new tennants are moving in tomorow in the house next door
[14:06] {ese} am going back and forth...back and forth
[14:08] {patel} watching anythign vad
[14:08] {Threei} Fed's Yellen: No double dip recession forecasted; Fed's continuance of Treasury purchases an 'open question' (related TLT SHY IEF )
[14:08] {Threei} CAT
[14:09] {Threei} (US) CFTC's Gensler: Recent reports of revisions to report on swap dealers was "premature," study found speculators had no major impact on run up in oil prices
[14:09] {Threei} - Note that overnight, the WSJ published an article stating that the CFTC plans to suggest speculators have played a role in the big swings in oil prices recently. This would have been a reversal of an earlier CFTC position.
[14:11] {_matt} are you in cat?
[14:11] {Threei} took .75
[14:11] {_matt} nice
[14:11] {Threei} this is so to speak unofficial alert
[14:11] {Threei} meaning,
[14:11] {jfjf64} .77 grrr to penny grrr
[14:12] {Threei} if you understand how to pay it, go ahead, comments I made are enough for you
[14:12] {Threei} if they are not - stay away
[14:15] {chiro} 3i, when you have a play like BCRX at 10.02, after locking in 1:1, how do you manage the rest of the trade?
[14:15] {Threei} most often:
[14:15] {Threei} sell half, trail stop to undcer breakeven,
[14:15] {Threei} sell 1/4 at 1"2
[14:15] {Threei} trail stop under 1:1
[14:16] {Threei} the decided between exiting into next spike or trailing
[14:17] {chiro} ...thnk u
[14:17] {Threei} sometimes therer are variations
[14:17] {Threei} depending on stock's strength, market strength, initial risk
[14:17] {Threei} but the way I described is routine
[14:21] {_matt} is that a cup and handle on cat?
[14:28] {ese} ohhhhhhh....mmmmyyyyyyy...god!!!!! get on with it for crying out loud....STLD...L .93 looking for more

[14:32] {Threei} HIG
[14:33] {Threei} watching for pullback

[14:33] {BillyD} the .01 offer was the key on it
[14:34] {BillyD} even hesitated then
[14:34] {Threei} well... hard to bring oneself to buy breakouts at this time of the day
[14:34] {BillyD} true
[14:35] {chiro} HGSI....the beast (if ur short) that won't die
