Jun 01 2011

Another very strong day with plenty of wins (mostly on a short side, not surprisingly) and two small stops on half lot each.

Session Time: Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 2011
[09:07] {ese} morning
[09:07] {Threei}  ese :)
[09:10] {RonS} gm...short squeeze candidates...hcp w/ 23.2 mil sh short, dakt w/ 2.1 mil sh short
[09:11] {Threei}  ron :)
[09:11] {Threei}  read this guys (Ron especially, as he is a Greece news junkie)
[09:11] {Threei}  Considered certain that IMF will not pay its share of fitfh tranche to Greece at June end - German press
[09:11] {Threei}  - Article noted that with Greece obviously unable to return to markets next year, as originally planned and stated that there were only three options.
[09:11] {Threei}  - The first is Greece is officially declared bankrupt, which clearly no one wants at this stage.
[09:11] {Threei}  - The second is the EU pays the IMF's tranche, which is hardly a sustainable solution.
[09:11] {Threei}  - The third and most likely option is a fresh aid package
[09:11] {Threei}  - Participation of the IMF is envisioned in a new program for Greece, aid in the amount of 60-70B
[09:11] {Threei}  - EU share of new plan will come by way of EFSF
[09:11] {Threei}  - Extension of maturities was considered; bonds maturing 2012-14 possible 3-year extension; extension undecided though would be voluntary
[09:11] {Threei}  - EU/IMF deal may limit state pension benefits, state-sector employment
[09:15] {rizvisy1} gm all
[09:15] {Threei}  riz :)
[09:17] {RonS} stunning:  Cisco (CSCO) predicts that the number of network-connected devices will be more than 15 billion, twice the world's population, by 2015. In the fifth annual Cisco Visual Networking Index Forecast (2010-2015) released, the co also said the total amount of global Internet traffic will quadruple by 2015 and reach 966 exabytes per year.
[09:18] {nemo} wtf...where all dead in 2012
[09:18] {nemo} minor detail
[09:19] {RonS} The unit symbol for the exabyte is EB. When used with byte multiples, the unit indicates a power of 1000:
[09:20] {Threei}  exabytes... I don't even have a concept for that
[09:20] {RonS} 1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B = 1018 bytes = 1 billion gigabytes = 1 million terabytes
[09:20] {Threei}  anything exceeding number of fingers on my two hands is beyond my comprehension
[09:21] {Threei}  I am very, umm, _pragmatic
[09:22] {_pragmatic} :(

[11:16] {Threei}  lol Ron, exactly
[11:17] {Threei}  now they all point fingers at banks

[11:22] {RonS} “Investors should prepare themselves for a third round of quantitative easing, Simon Maughn, co-head of European equities at MF Global, told CNBC Wednesday.
[11:22] {RonS} “The bond market is going in one direction which is up-falling yields which is telling you quite clearly the direction of economic travel is downwards. Downgrades. QE3 (a third round of quantitative easing) is coming,” said Maughn. “The bond markets are all smarter than us, and that’s exactly what the bond markets are telling me.”
[11:22] {dino} well, one things for sure, no tightening w/those ump #s

[12:06] {Threei}  no news
[12:07] {davd} spy 50dma is 133.04
[12:08] {Threei}  (EU) ECB's Stark: ECB is giving consideration to more rate hikes - financial press
[12:08] {Threei}  - A Greek bond rollover would not be the same as default
[12:08] {Threei}  - If debt rollover is not seen as a default, it may be a way of involving the private sector in financing Greece.
[12:08] {Threei}  {private sector} you must be drunk
[12:13] {Threei}  http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201106011038dowjonesdjonline000406&title=german-government-lawmakermore-aid-for-greece-against-budget-law

[12:17] {RonS} funny in sick way...since when does anyone in government follow the law?
[12:17] {nemo} I was thinking the same thing
[12:18] {dino}  ditto
[12:18] {Threei}  well, yes, but this case has some meaning,
[12:18] {Threei}  simply because next aid package must got through confirmation process
[12:19] {Threei}  and if this guy is correct, it may get rejected
[12:37] {Threei}  (US) Debt discussions between Congressional parties scheduled for June 9- US VP Biden again to host the discussions
[12:37] {Threei}  yes, he is the right guy

[13:00] {Threei}  not really
[13:01] {rizvisy1} I guess it will be on recovery path, history says
[13:10] {Threei}  so, the secret to profits today is to take any, even if less than 1:1
[13:10] {nemo} seems we might have to think about buying support and not breakouts unless the stock is in play
[13:11] {rizvisy1} 1:1 for jnpr already
[13:15] {ese} .

[10:40] {Threei}  - Discussions in Greece will center around fiscal adjustments and ensuring no financing issues
[10:41] {dino}  greece getting ready to say f u and drop the euro imo
[10:41] {Threei}  very much so
[10:41] {patience} absolutely dino
[10:41] {Threei}  and whole EU faints of the very thought of such development
[10:41] {Threei}  because that's the beginning of the end
[10:42] {Threei}  for whole lot of people who built their entire life around this construct
[10:42] {dino} if greece goes, then ireland, etc, dominos
[10:43] {patience} i don't think if, i think when
[10:43] {dino} agree w/ya
[10:43] {Threei}  funny... for years I was talking about EU and Euro as dead man walking, and was laughed at
[10:44] {Threei}  now it's common kniowldege
[10:44] {Threei}  when China Ponzi scheme collapses, I will have the chance to say told ya so one more time
[10:46] {dino} csc blood
[10:46] {ese} ya
[10:46] {ese} been wathing that one
[10:46] {dino} rst too
[10:47] {ese} haven't been watching that one
[10:47] {nemo} US is a ponzi scheme too
[10:48] {Threei}  yes
[10:48] {nemo} buy more bullets
[10:49] {Threei}  but US is ummm... let's call it less worst of bad choices
[10:53] {Threei}  some strange disconnects keep me at bay
[10:53] {Threei}  but overall, feels to me like short is the way to go
[10:53] {Threei}  and market is getting ready to plunge
[10:55] {dino} not so sure, everything feels a bit off
[10:56] {Threei}  what do we do when we are not sure?
[10:56] {dino} sit
[10:56] {Threei}  we make beer bets
[10:56] {Threei}  I bet of drop
[10:56] {dino} ahh yes, indeed
[10:56] {Threei}  on
[10:56] {Threei}  :)
[10:57] {dino} i bet up
[10:57] {Threei}  cool... larisa?
[10:58] {davd} drops to 1312 and bounces up from there
[10:58] {Threei}  hmmm... such precision
[10:58] {Threei}  OK... , drops and doesn't bounce
[10:59] {Threei}  ends day at the low
[10:59] {Threei}  and gaps down tomorrow
[10:59] {Threei}  how's that? :)
[10:59] {Threei}  more than that - whole selling today is not just sdelling, it's a mini-crash
[10:59] {davd} you see, with my prediction i will at least be 1/2 right
[11:00] {Threei}  I am just not sure what stock I can use to follow that
[11:00] {Threei}  maybe better to go with inverse etf
[11:00] {dino} ebs
[11:00] {Threei}  TZA id the first thing that comes to mind
[11:00] {rizvisy1} ERY too
[11:02] {Threei}  well, seems like early entries on both are right here
[11:02] {Threei}  with stops for TZA under .90 - .95
[11:02] {Threei}  ERY under .10
[11:03] {Threei}  neither is a scalp
[11:03] {Threei}  mini-crash is happens means a lot of potential for both
[11:04] {Threei}  although volatility will be there... so let's partial and protect outselves
[11:05] {Threei}  for TZA, first partial would be around .25 - .30
[11:05] {Threei}  for ERY, .35-.40
[11:05] {Threei}  and if they hit stops, then I am wrong about whole thing
[11:06] {Threei}  just praying that they don't pull the most disgusting trick of all - rinse us out, then proceed to do just what I call
[11:07] {Threei}  Microsoft Corp CEO: Google has had a failed approach to tablet PCs so far, MSFT is working on a "unique" tablet product, to announce new tablet plans soon - US financial press

[11:07] {Threei}  - Software piracy continues to limit revenue potential in China
[11:07] {Threei}  - FY11 rev in China expected at about 5% that of US revenue. China could be a big market if its antipiracy efforts get to the same level as those in India.

[14:52] {Threei}  if you ask my personal biased view,
[14:53] {Threei}  I see SLW dropping hard, possibly retesting day's low
[14:53] {jfjf64} hmm
[14:53] {Threei}  but one thing is to have a view and another - to subject you to a call based on it but not supported by previous day's development
