[13:35] {dino} dji wants green

[13:36] {Threei} Fed's Lacker: Commercial Real estate likely to be a sizeable drag on growth in near term; housing and auto sector no longer causing a drag for growth

[13:36] {Threei} that's a bild statement

[13:36] {Threei} bold

[13:37] {dino} what world does he live in

[13:37] {strider} I don't understand why SRS doesn't go up.

[13:37] {Threei} ummm

[13:37] {Threei} because market doesn't go dopwn?

[13:38] {Threei} what do you think SRS is? :)

[13:38] {nemo} financials are a big part of srs

[13:38] {strider} ultrashort real estate

[13:38] {nemo} has many of the components of skf

[13:38] {Threei} so why would it go up?

[13:39] {dino} reits have been doing very well

[13:39] {strider} because of lagging realestate?

[13:39] {dino} talking heads strider the big reits are rocking

[13:39] {strider} But isn't commercial doing poorly?

[13:40] {nemo} so isn't the economy...what's your point?

[13:40] {dino} not the stocks

06[13:40] * nemo slaps strider around a bit with a large trout

06[13:40] * nemo slaps strider around a bit with a large trout

[13:40] {dino} residential is the drag

[13:40] {strider} eat a fish, nemo.

[13:41] {nemo} that's cannabilism to me

[13:41] {strider} .what's your point?

[13:41] {nemo} har har har

[13:42] {strider} I keep watching SRS, and O (the stock) waiting for a dump. Just simple minded, I guess.

[13:42] {nemo} there's no reason for stocks to go down, no other alternatives

[13:43] {strider} live in igloos.

[13:43] {nemo} have to make new ones every year

[13:43] {strider} Or you could rent my rental house. IT's empty.

[13:45] {dino} strider, most of the big "commercial" real estate companies issued equity months ago, they are fine and moving up

[13:45] {nemo} besides...they know they'll get bailed out because they're backed up by the big banks

[13:45] {dino} it is the banks dumping the houses that remains the problem, imo

[13:46] {nemo} or not dumping them

[13:46] {dino} i think equity issuance took care of that nemo

[13:47] {nemo} yeah, they don't have to, so no write offs to reserve ratios

[13:49] {strider} OK.........obviously I don't understand such stuff.

[13:49] {nemo} Vad'll explain it to you

[13:50] {strider} you mean trades AND knows stuff?

[13:50] {nemo} amazing fellow that Vad

[12:25] {Threei} and she said she loved it.

[12:25] {Threei} Parfume went out of production,

[12:25] {Threei} He went to great lengths to keep finding it

[12:26] {Threei} She never told him she hated it, always,

[12:26] {Threei} she was simply polite that fuirst time,

[12:26] {Threei} and then he was so happy to do it for her

[12:26] {Threei} she kept accepting it and thanking him

[12:28] {larisa} She may be polite but not smart. With men you have to tell them directly what you want.

[13:56] {Threei} - Digital projection and distribution, and the elimination of very expensive film prints, have transformed the business.

[14:02] {Threei} Study on electric cars casts doubt on the chances for widespread adoption of electric cars by 2020 (related ABAT )

[14:03] {Threei} seriously?

[14:04] {Threei} - Although electric-car battery costs are expected to fall sharply over the coming decade, they are unlikely to drop enough to spark widespread adoption of fully electric vehicles without a major breakthrough in battery technology, according to a new study by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

[14:04] {Threei} - The study concludes that the long-term cost target used by many carmakers in planning their future fleets of electric cars$250 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)is unlikely to be achieved unless there is a major breakthrough in battery chemistry that substantially increases the energy a battery can store without significantly increasing the cost of either battery materials or the manufacturing process.

[14:04] {Threei} - Most electric cars in the new decade will use lithium-ion batteries, which are lighter and more powerful than the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries used today in hybrids like the Toyota Prius. Citing the current cost of similar lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics (about $250 to $400 per kWh), many original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) hope that the cost of an automotive lithium-ion battery pack will fall from its current price of between $1,000 and $1,200 per kWh to between $250 and $500 per kWh at scaled production.

[14:04] {Threei} - BCG, however, points out that consumer batteries are simpler than car batteries and must meet significantly less demanding requirements, especially regarding safety and life span. So actual battery costs will likely be higher than what carmakers predict.

[14:04] {Threei} - Despite this cost challenge, the report projects steady growth for electric cars and batteries. Electric cars include mild and full hybrids (like the early Toyota Prius and 2010 Ford Fusion, respectively), which combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) power train with supplementary electric motors to run the car at idle and low speeds; plug-in hybrids and range-extended electric vehicles (such as the next-generation Prius and General Motors' Chevrolet Volt, respectively), which combine electric motors with a supplementary ICE to run the motors after the batteries have been depleted; and fully electric vehicles (like the Mitsubishi i MiEV and upcoming Nissan Leaf), which can only be recharged by plugging into the power grid.

[15:01] {dino} drop

[15:01] {fernp} any news, ad?

[15:01] {fernp} Vad

[15:02] {Threei} I think this:

[15:02] {Threei} US Fed release advice on interest rate risks; firms may be required to take corrective action to curb excessive risk; including possible requirement to hold additional capital

[15:02] {strider} stop to .70 GME

[15:02] {dino} same old same old

[15:02] {Threei} Fed warning banks to protect against a possible scenario whereby the environment of low interest rates end

[15:02] {fernp} cerradlo todo

[15:03] {fernp} wrong window

[15:03] {dino} fed should warn tiger to potect hoimself too

[15:03] {larisa} oh my

[15:03] {fernp} stopped LVS

[15:04] {fernp} i am unable to trade this market

[15:04] {strider} out 1/2 +.13

[15:04] {dino} pretty random afternoon fern

[15:05] {fernp} yes

[15:05] {Threei} The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, which includes representation from the Fed said: "In the current environment of historically low short-term interest rates, it is important for institutions to have robust processes for measuring and, where necessary, mitigating their exposure to potential increases in interest rates."

[15:05] {Threei} it bweconmes easier fern

[15:06] {Threei} today is noticeably better

[15:06] {patience} just got flushed out of my silver wheaton trade...hudbay keeps chugging up...not that i had the brains to buy in

[15:06] {Threei} just don't forece it, it takes time

[15:06] {fernp} ok

[15:09] {strider} stop to .55 GME

[15:10] {Threei} so, after the shoebomber we get to take our shoes off at the checkpoints

[15:10] {Threei} it scares me that this latest gyuy already got nicknamed an underwear bomber

[15:11] {strider} out balance +.18

[15:11] {larisa} now they can see you naked vad.. get ready when you travel :)

[15:11] {Threei} that I don't care about

[15:11] {Les} lol, I'm not sure security wants to see us all strip, not my ugly butt anyway

[15:11] {strider} now, what type do you think is going to apply for those jobs?

[15:12] {strider} Kind of like morticians.

[15:12] {strider} You gotta like your work.

[15:12] {Threei} yeah, images I saw are not much more than skeletons

[15:13] {Threei} snow in Alabama today

[15:13] {strider} What are you thinking about CYCC now, vad?

[15:13] {Threei} I don't have heart to buy it

[15:14] {strider} It's relly up there,.

[15:14] {strider} really

[15:14] {larisa} strider, enjoyed your GME trade. nice

[15:14] {larisa} not really sceletons vad

[15:14] {strider} 126% gain today.

[15:15] {Threei} maybe different scanners larisa

[15:15] {Threei} one image from which I saw had barely visible contours of the body, the rest was skeleton

[15:15] {patience} you flying air canada vad?

[15:15] {Threei} no, Westjet

[15:16] {patience} canadian transportation agency has ruled, portion of plane must be nut free

[15:16] {patience} can't stop laughing

[15:16] {Les} seed .05 b/d vad?

[15:16] {patience} although it is serious for those with allergies

[15:16] {Threei} if I accidentally wind up there, will they insist on amputation?

[15:17] {Threei} SEED... well, worth a try but it's kind of 51/40

[15:17] {Threei} 49

[15:17] {patience} well at least they said you are allowed to carry a book onboard again

[15:18] {Les} s seed .01

[15:19] {strider} CYCC goes momo

[15:19] {Threei} .01?

[15:19] {Threei} why that faR FROM TRIGGER?

[15:19] {Les} chased it

[15:19] {Les} lod was .04

[15:19] {Les} so 3 cents

[15:20] {Les} too much risk?

[15:20] {Threei} well, where is your stop?

[15:20] {Les} .15

[15:20] {Les} it's largish

[15:21] {Les} but risking 14 cents for further b/d before close

[15:21] {strider} CYCC: 2.67

[15:22] {Threei} whole thing feels like one big setup for me

[15:22] {Threei} CYCC has NASDFAQ's notice of delisting

[15:22] {dino} greenn scanners

[15:22] {Threei} from Dec 9

[15:23] {strider} they're over a dollar now. Is that what it was about?

[15:23] {strider} Are you suggesting 'they' are doing this, vad?

[15:24] {Threei} - Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:CYCC) (Nasdaq:CYCCP) ("Cyclacel" or the "Company") today announced that, on December 9, 2009, the Company was notified by the NASDAQ Staff that the Company does not comply with the minimum $10 million stockholders' equity requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) (the "Rule") and that the Company's securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market unless the Company requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel").

[15:24] {Threei} Cyclacel intends to timely request a hearing before a Panel, which automatically stays the delisting of the Company's securities pending the issuance of the Panel's decision after a hearing. Under NASDAQ's Listing Rules, the Panel may, at its discretion, determine to continue the Company's listing pursuant to an exception to the Rule for a maximum of 180 days from the date of the Staff's notification or through June 7, 2010. However, there can be no assurances that the Panel will do so.

[15:26] {Les} really? rig one's stock price to stay in the NASDAQ?

[15:26] {strider} so do you think the news is phoney?

[15:26] {Threei} I'vw no idea

[15:29] {Threei} I have certainly seen this kind of situations before

[15:30] {Threei} but I alsao have seen real cases when company would pull itself from brionk of destrcuction

[15:30] {Threei} only typed better

[15:31] {Threei} I even saw a case when CEO promised great news after the close, and got a lot of people to buy... only to announce voluntary delisting

[15:31] {fernp} lol

[15:31] {strider} ha

[15:31] {Threei} where is cosmo, he could name the symbol right away :)

[15:31] {Threei} it's a real story, I am not kidding

[15:32] {strider} I guess he sold his shares before close.

[15:32] {fernp} of course

[15:32] {Threei} better yet

[15:32] {Threei} stock went to pink sheets, and in a few months he nmanaged to maNIPULATE THE PRICE TO ABOUT 15

[15:33] {Threei} so, in a way he was right... it was a good news

[15:33] {strider} news was that CEO was a very clever guy.

[15:36] {strider} where IS cosmo?

[15:36] {Threei} still in Australia?

[15:36] {strider} vacation?

[15:37] {Threei} that's what he said

[15:46] {fernp} SDS short if breaks .30?

[15:47] {Threei} if market breaks out, sure

[15:47] {Threei} but are you willing to play general market breakout right now?

[15:47] {fernp} nah

[15:53] {fernp} Good evening everybody. See you all tomorrow

[15:53] {strider} night fern.

[15:53] {Threei} take care fern

[15:54] {strider} Guess who's gonna be on TV at 4:30?

[15:55] {Threei} Til Ulenshpigel?

[15:55] {larisa} wow

[15:55] {strider} you're both right....in parallel universes.

[15:55] {Les} Umar Farouk?

[15:55] {strider} No. No parallel universe for that.

[15:56] {Threei} he can't stand

[15:56] {Threei} nor sit

[15:56] {Threei} nor procreate

[15:56] {Threei} there are natural consequences to setting one's crotch on fire, ya know

[15:56] {Les} that's why CNBC wants him on TV

[15:58] {Les} out seed flat

[15:59] {strider} new high, CYCC.

[16:00] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow

Jan 06 2010

One more day of low volatility and things working pretty much in random fashion. The same setups on the same stocks work and fail with 50/50 odds.

Session Time: Wed Jan 06 00:00:00 2010

[08:21] {nemo} morning from the frozen People's Republic of Massachusetts

[08:22] {strider} morning from the moderately frozen south.

[08:23] {nemo} damn confederates

[08:23] {strider} 22F here.

[08:23] {strider} damn yankees.

[08:24] {nemo} Funny...we've got a Civil War monument in town it faces south. A friend of mine's grandfather, who had a wicked sense of humor, says it's because you always had to keep an eye on those southerners

[08:24] {strider} now that's true.

[08:25] {nemo} When I lived in SC about 20 years ago, I was surprised to see the Confederate flag flying over the capital, as well as more than a few bumper stickers that said "Lee surrendered, I didn't"

[08:27] {strider} I think it was still there until last year or so.

[08:27] {strider} People confuse the map with the territory.

[08:27] {nemo} within a few years, yeah

[08:28] {strider} iow, confuse the symbol for the attitude.

[08:28] {strider} or, confuse allegiance to the conferacy with allegiance to slavery/racism.

[08:28] {nemo} yeah...well, SC was where I first saw the bumper sticker, "The voices in my head told me to stay home from work today and clean my guns."

[08:29] {nemo} No, I thought the former, not the latter. As a matter of fact, there seemed to be alot less racial tension there than up here

[08:29] {nemo} It's a big money making industry up here

[08:29] {strider} Only if you planned on attacking us.

[08:31] {nemo} then again, up here I first saw the bumper sticker, "If I'd known what would have happened, I'd have picked my own cotton."

[08:32] {Raven} there will soon be a Federal Agency to regulate bumper stickers

[08:32] {nemo} I don't doubt it

[08:33] {strider} Hey, that would be a great bumper sticker!

[08:33] {Raven} never thought of that ... I'll be RICHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[08:34] {Threei} hah... ese's going to make a killing on ABAT

[08:34] {nemo} yeah, saw that

[08:35] {strider} re: picking cotton......I tried that for about 5 minutes...pure misery.

[08:37] {strider} FDO could be interesting today.

[08:38] {strider} Vad, what default route do you use?

[08:41] {Threei} for NASDAQ I usually don't bother to turn routing on at all,

[08:41] {Threei} unless I just switched from listed stock and forgot

[08:41] {Threei} for listed, I check the Route On box and keep it on NASDAQ

[08:42] {Threei} mostly to avoid MLCO which is default for smart route on listeds

[08:43] {strider} so you're using smart route for nasdaq?

[08:43] {strider} didn't understand: " for NASDAQ I usually don't bother to turn routing on at all,"

[08:44] {Threei} for nasdaq stocks

[08:45] {Threei} yes

[08:46] {strider} I've found that nasdaq often doesn't have best bid/ask when trading HOG.

[08:46] {strider} so when I try to enter/exit at limit, I don't get filled.

[08:46] {strider} Was wondering route would be best to use.

[08:47] {nemo} what are you using then?

[08:47] {strider} Been switching to smart route, just cause it was first in line.

[08:47] {nemo} oy vay

[08:47] {strider} Don't know if fees are higher for that, though.

[08:48] {nemo} smart hits a dark pool first I think

[08:49] {nemo} GETCO to be specific

[08:49] {strider} Is that a good thing or a bad thing:)

[08:50] {nemo} well, it's cheaper if you get it from GETCO, but...it tries there first and then proceeds to other sources, which takes time, so if you need fast execution...forget it

[08:50] {strider} what do you use for listed/nasdaq--nemo.

[08:51] {Threei} wait

[08:51] {nemo} me..yes

[08:51] {Threei} strider... if you have Route Out checked in the big window that pops up when you right click on level2,

[08:51] {Threei} you don't care who is at the bid or offer

[08:52] {Threei} your order will hit them all

[08:53] {nemo} vad, on that general tab under "Hit Adjust", what do you have as a value for the NASDAQ window

[08:54] {Threei} zero

[08:54] {nemo} ty

[08:54] {Threei} but I am not sure it's optimal

[08:54] {Threei} I don't remember what it is

[08:55] {Threei} it's been years since I configured all that

[08:55] {nemo} for some reason, mine was set at .0020

[08:55] {Threei} ARCA is set to .03

[08:55] {strider} I have all boxes checked for 'route out'.....still haven't been getting fills through Nasdaq.

[08:55] {nemo} .03 or .0030

[08:56] {strider} Is that under the shave column, nemo?

[08:56] {Threei} 08:46] {strider} I've found that nasdaq often doesn't have best bid/ask when trading HOG.

[08:56] {Threei} [08:46] {strider} so when I try to enter/exit at limit, I don't get filled.

[08:56] {Threei} that's why

[08:56] {nemo} just above Route Out

[08:56] {Threei} move a few cents beyond, you'll get your fills

[08:56] {strider} confused.

[08:57] {Threei} you are trying to hit inside quote, if you are a LITTLE LATE IT GETS AWAY FROM YOU

[08:57] {strider} that's not what I mean.

[08:58] {strider} I'm just trying to enter or exit at static best bid/ask. It's not moving.

[08:58] {strider} I must be missing something on lvl 2.

[08:58] {Threei} buying at the offer or selling at bid?

[08:58] {Threei} or buying at bid and selling at the offer?

[08:59] {strider} I think the first, of course........but I may sometimes try to do the second.

[08:59] {strider} and that's what's happening.

[08:59] {strider} I'll watch it.

[08:59] {Threei} if the second, then no wonder

[08:59] {strider} yeah.

[08:59] {Threei} if first, andf there are enough shares, your fill is instant

[08:59] {strider} nemo....what does 'hit adjust' mean?

[09:00] {strider} kk

[09:00] {strider} k

[09:00] {nemo} I don't know, just saw the setting

[09:01] {Threei} by the sound of it, I'd think it does automatically what I do by clicking at the price beyond market

[09:01] {Threei} but let's not assume and ask Trev instead

[09:01] {strider} yeah, that would be good to know.

[09:02] {strider} Also, I don't know what the 'shave' column does.

[09:04] {Threei} there is a video tutorial on Laser

[09:05] {strider} yeah, I've watched it. have a nemo-memory, though.

[09:06] {strider} Besides, they assume you already know what a lot of those terms mean. Like 'shave'. Seem to recall they don't define it.

[09:06] {Threei} well, if you watch the part that shows what it does it should explain things, no?

[09:07] {strider} My recollection is that it just says something like: if you want to change the shave settings, here is where you do it.

[09:07] {Threei} that's helpful

[09:07] {strider} yeah:)

[09:08] {strider} FNSR, CREE FDO

[09:32] {Threei} PIMCO's Bill Gross Monthly Outlook: US and UK may suffer as exit strategies are implemented

[09:32] {Threei} - "If 2008 was the year of financial crisis and 2009 the year of healing via monetary and fiscal stimulus packages, then 2010 appears likely to be the year of exit strategies, during which investors should consider economic fundamentals and asset markets that will soon be priced in a world less dominated by the government sector. If, in 2009, PIMCO recommended shaking hands with the government, we now ponder which government, and caution that the days of carefree check writing leading to debt issuance without limit or interest rate consequences may be numbered for all countries."

[12:46] {dino} rather a scooby snack

[12:46] {nemo} roro

[12:46] {dino} what do you make of lnce nemo?

[12:46] {Threei} here is useful tip

[12:47] {dino} i was at 24.05 but didn't get to me

[12:47] {Threei} if you want to lenghten the box, make sure that the spot where you grab lower part of the window is NOT right under Market Buy button

[12:47] {Threei} ask me how I came to this conclusion

[12:47] {nemo} hehehehe

[12:48] {strider} I have the same issue with the down scroll arrow for volume. JUst above sell button.

[12:49] {nemo} after that kind of fall, I'd be afraid it tests the bottom again, volume is not looking positive

[12:49] {nemo} transactions are mixed between bids, offers, and market

[12:49] {nemo} no man's...woman's land

[12:50] {dino} not the response i was expecting:)

[12:50] {nemo} what were you expecting?

[12:50] {dino} hit low .40s sell mid .79s

[12:50] {nemo} C&H on UAUA?

[12:51] {nemo} oh, well low .40's would be test of bottom

[12:51] {dino} more like martini glass

[12:51] {nemo} o.kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk??????????

[12:52] {strider} I've been using a techinique for scrolling price while in a trade that helps me a lot. After entry, I set the cursor in price box, and use my left index and middle finger on up and down arrow keys, while keeping cursor over exit button. Need to set arrow keys to move by .01 in trade settings.

[14:35] {larisa} AMZN was perfect straight downtrend channel today until 131.65 bottom. You exited right when it was breaking downtrend to upside. But entry is nice. very :)

[14:36] {strider} grrr....

[14:36] {strider} I always leave money on the table.

[14:36] {nemo} as long as you're taking some with you
