Dec 27 2013

Tasty way to start the day:


Relatively quiet day again, ending on a profitable note. Quite happy with the way we handled low volume holiday trading so far. Next week is the last of that.

[10:03] {+cc_9} TWTR coming off bottom, it "turned" at $69
[10:03] {+cc_9} those are nemo's words.
[10:03] {RonS} Clinto made honest mistake...in Arkansas sexual relations means sex with your relation(s)...

01[10:40] {&Threei}  simpliefied Jesse?
01[10:41] {&Threei}  btw, at the time of its translation and publishing, I didn't realize thewre were two chinese languages
[10:41] {+cc_9} VXX human growth hormone move
[10:42] {nemo} spy almostat pivot, iwm coming into S1
01[10:42] {&Threei}  so when I received within a year second check for the same languiage, I thought "hmmm, did they not like first translation, redid it and paid me twice for some reason?"
[10:43] {dino} cuda sm s .60
[10:43] {dino} opps.58
[10:44] {dino} partial cov .15, +.43
[10:44] {dino} cuda
[10:44] {dino} pulp type
[10:47] {+cc_9} SPY setting up for open heart surgery without anesthesia
[10:48] {+cc_9} Feels as though today is the last day of the year, given that its Friday and end of week
[10:48] {+cc_9} hence imminent profit taking on market
[10:49] {+cc_9} TXTR I still chink she goes up to 30s
[10:49] {+cc_9} think*
[10:49] {nemo} bad

[10:49] {nemo} bad
[10:50] {+cc_9} damn you fake steve jobs with wings
[10:50] {RonS} here i thought it was a chinese copy...
[10:50] {Will49} yikes
[10:50] {+cc_9} long GILD here
[10:51] {+cc_9} I think this one plays out
[10:51] {dino} cuda nuts
[10:52] {Will49} delicious
[10:52] {+cc_9} Cuda woulda shoulda
[10:52] {dino} smr s ave .42
[10:52] {+cc_9} 7/10 for trying
[10:53] {Will49} lol cc
[10:54] {Will49} one more like that and Ron will let you into the club
[10:55] {nemo} btw..gild is on the algo weak side, and very weak
[10:56] {+cc_9} why don't you short it nemo ?
[10:56] {nemo} if there is a long play, only to vwap
[10:56] {nemo} it's in no man's land right now to me cc
[10:56] {+cc_9} from a scale of 0 - 17
[10:56] {+cc_9} how would you rate the accuracy of your algo nemo
[10:56] {nemo} 0-17?
[10:57] {+cc_9} yes
[10:57] {nemo} that's an interesting scale
[10:57] {nemo} I would say 14
[10:57] {+cc_9} ok
[10:57] {nemo} It measures bid/offer persistence
[10:58] {nemo} when stocks shut off on either side that means the pressure in whichever direction it was, has waned
[10:58] {+cc_9} ill go full contrarian mode and say GILD is long here to 74.75
[10:58] {nemo} yes...75-.90.  That's exactly my point why I thought if it is a long, that's where it goes...90 is vwap
[10:58] {dino} cuda stopped
[10:58] {RonS} an algo can be accurate and mean something sometimes and mean nothing others...because new algos can go the other way...
[10:59] {nemo} Oh, best action is when a stock switches sides
[10:59] {nemo} Say it's VERY weak, then switches to the strong side-usually indicates it bottomed
[11:00] {+cc_9} i guess you like your stocks like you like your women
[11:00] {+cc_9} GILD .50s coming up
[11:00] {nemo} 3 ft tall flat head pistol grip ears no teeth

[11:01] {RonS} ...there's gambling in this casino? shocked...
[11:01] {+cc_9} Ron is mad and bashing buttcoins because he missed out on mining back in 2009
[11:02] {+cc_9} GILD needs a nice push through .60s
[11:02] {nemo} Here's an interesting situation...mjn on the weak side this morning, but currently has no color, thus no pressure, it can't get above vwap, if it refires, it's a short with a stop above vwap
[11:03] {dino} cuda, last try smr s .58
[11:04] {nemo} The other issue is volume will probably drop off to nothing very soon
[11:05] {nemo} GILD is beginning to shut off on the weak side
[11:06] {+cc_9} cute
[11:06] {nemo} what
[11:09] {RonS} txtr wants to be twtr

[11:12] {nemo} gild not getting any stronger on the algo

[11:25] {nemo} oops, just the last one
[11:25] {nemo} as you can see Gild never really strengthened
[11:25] {nemo} now, the algo may not pick up a rapid change in volume in a short period of time
[11:29] {dino} out ades .48, +.90
[11:29] {Will49} Healed
[11:30] {+cc_9} As you can see, GILD really got strong
[11:30] {+cc_9} almost .70s
[11:30] {nemo} yes
[11:30] {nemo} color began to drop on algo
[11:30] {+cc_9} the algo is kinda late then

[11:31] {nemo} no, remember what I said, and I'm not trying to equivocate, if you were going to play it long it would be to the .75-90 area, it just wasn't showing strength
[11:31] {+cc_9} yea no
[11:31] {+cc_9} GILD .70s
[11:31] {+cc_9} stop making excuses for HAL9000

[11:32] {Will49} lol
[11:32] {nemo} [10:59] {nemo} yes...75-.90.  That's exactly my point why I thought if it is a long, that's where it goes...90 is vwap
[11:32] {+cc_9} sorry nemo, i cannot read your message, all i see is GILD went up
[11:32] {+cc_9} nemo "maybe it will go up, maybe it will go down, ill tell you guys after it moved"
[11:32] {nemo} God bless ya
[11:33] {+cc_9} That's what stocktwits is for nemo

[12:34] {+cc_9} massive swings
[12:34] {+cc_9} damn thing just went up a full point with no effort
[12:35] {+cc_9} VXX spiking again
[12:35] {+cc_9} SPY unchanged for now

[13:13] {+cc_9} SPY setting up for tank here
[13:14] {nemo} "good nemo"  = oxymoron
[13:15] {nemo} with Europe having such a strong close, you think they tank spy?
[13:16] {Will49} nemo and cc...what's best P2P download service to use?
[13:16] {nemo} vuze
[13:17] {Will49} tks
[13:17] {nemo} imo
[13:17] {Will49} of course
[13:18] {Will49} and it says so on their website too :)
01[13:20] {&Threei}  it doesn't have search built-in though, does it?
[13:21] {nemo} yes, but it's yahoo, however you set it to your default P2P software, and any torrents you download automatically open it
[13:21] {nemo} It has a nice feature also:  "Swarm"  which tracks popular torrents
[13:22] {Will49} looks good, going to try it
01[13:23] {&Threei}  will
[13:23] {Will49} ?
01[13:23] {&Threei}  be careful when installing it, do not click through all the "next" and "I agree" blindly
01[13:23] {&Threei}  it offers a few extrasd in defaults that you do not want
01[13:24] {&Threei}  like search bars etc
[13:24] {Will49} yeah..tks vad
[13:24] {Will49} been burned on that before
[13:24] {Will49} get all kinds of unwamted crap
[13:24] {Will49} unwanted

01[13:26] {&Threei}  installs toolbar and extensions
[13:26] {nemo} yeah, spigot stuff
01[13:26] {&Threei}  makes yahoo your startup page
[13:26] {nemo} although, all software seems to have extras these days
01[13:26] {&Threei}  puke multipled by puke with puke added
[13:26] {Will49} pretty standard business model
01[13:28] {&Threei}  I mean I will give cc9 pink rose for his birthday and listen him swearing for 30 min before I accept yahoo as my main search
[13:29] {+cc_9} Will, bittorrent
[13:29] {+cc_9} lol @ Vad
[13:29] {nemo} careful...that one is tracked very closely by the ISPs
[13:29] {+cc_9} that's what proxy is for
[13:29] {Will49} tks cc
[13:30] {+cc_9} either that, or go buy the DVD
[13:30] {+cc_9} or BluRay
[13:30] {Will49} you gotta be kidding
[13:30] {nemo} Yeah, well, I run a proxy anyway I've had no problems since Vuze
[13:30] {Will49} this old frugal Scot?
[13:31] {Will49} although I would subscribe to the premium version of VUZE
[13:31] {nemo} I haven't
[13:31] {Will49} does th free version do job for you?

01[13:59] {&Threei}  am I the only one who experienced that CPU drag by Skype, and got rid of it completely by killing the supernode mode?
[14:00] {nemo} well, I added that registry entry, but I had never really noticed a drag...When I originally installed it, I think you could choose whether you wanted to be a supernode or not
[14:00] {dino} i don't have skype
[14:02] {nemo} When I look at System Explorer process monitor, I don't ever remember skype being one of the higher drains on my resources
01[14:03] {&Threei}  it's allowed by default, nemo
01[14:03] {&Threei}  unless you install that registry tweak
01[14:03] {&Threei}  it's there for skype to activate if and when they need it
[14:03] {nemo} I understand, as I said, I think I had a choice when I originally installed it
[14:05] {nemo} of course, that was a long time ago before Microsoft bought them
[14:05] {nemo} I think I was using it before Ebay bought them

01[15:39] {&Threei}  (US) Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) Sperling urges Congress to extend jobless benefits that are scheduled to expire tomorrow- President Obama supports the bill to extend benefits proposed by Senator Reed (D-RI) and Senator Heller (R-NV). - Benefits expiry will affect 1.3M individuals. - Reminder: Earlier CNBC's Harwood commented that there was still a chance that Congress could extend unemployment benefits that are set to expire tomorrow, but still most likely fiscally restrained Congress will decide against it.

01[10:14] {Threei}  which is what whole thing is about
[10:14] {cc_9000} F back to lows again
01[10:15] {Threei}  there is no any sensible merit to the suit
01[10:15] {Threei}  but rest assured many lawyers will make nice coin while pretending there is

[10:15] {RonS} zoot?

[10:17] {RonS} wish was such an idiot here...

01[10:21] {Threei}  and it was AONE
01[10:21] {Threei}  and CEO was empty suit
[10:21] {ese} ya that was it
01[10:22] {Threei}  FB is a very different animal

[10:23] {thomcbell} lvs 77.70 long break aggressive Vad?
[10:23] {thomcbell} too thin today
01[10:24] {Threei}  I hate the spread, tbell
[10:24] {thomcbell} yeah
01[10:24] {Threei}  untradeable
[10:24] {ese} listen..,...he's the dufuss whos giving all your personel inormation to any number of security intelligence services on the planet.......
[10:25] {RonS} love that Adelson dodged prox $3 bil in taxes...legally
[10:25] {ese} for free
01[10:25] {Threei}  how about this ese: FB is horrifically inrtusive, ignores basics of privacy, blatantly dictatorial in social conduct
01[10:25] {Threei}  all this is real problem
[10:25] {ese} perfect
01[10:25] {Threei}  so, there are real things to hate it for
[10:25] {ese} couldn't agree more
01[10:26] {Threei}  why do you turn it into childish pussing contest of labels like loser and idiot, which are just untrue?
01[10:26] {Threei}  this only undermines your argument
[10:26] {ese} eventually all that will undermine the business model.....hopefully sooner than later
01[10:27] {Threei}  maybe, but I personally think real threat is different
[10:27] {ese} thats easier to type
01[10:27] {Threei}  remember how Myspace went empty almost overnight?
[10:27] {thomcbell} here comes the moment of truth on fb
[10:27] {dino} not so sure ese, imagine fb gets it and protects at some time
01[10:27] {Threei}  social media world is a fickle bitch
01[10:28] {Threei}  it may simple go out of vogue
[10:28] {ese} i hope so
01[10:29] {Threei}  oh and btw... did you know that he is a huge Obama supporter, and used a lot of FB power to help him win both elections?

01[10:30] {Threei}  now now... being obama supporter yourself, how do you label THAT an idiot?? :)
[10:30] {ese} obama that is........why would he hook up with a dufuss like that
[10:30] {RonS} de monet...
01[10:30] {Threei}  because winning an election is abive everything else

01[11:18] {Threei}  New Year's: The equities markets are closed on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 and will reopen on Thursday, January 2nd at their normal time
[11:18] {nemo} Europe will be off until the 6th, so that means market doesn't get back to normal until the next week
01[11:19] {Threei}  why

01[11:19] {Threei}  what do we care about that weird continent
[11:19] {nemo} no, Europe loves holidays, 3 Kings Day is the 6th, so markets open but many off
01[11:20] {Threei}  see? weird
[11:20] {nemo} Christianity is weird too
01[11:21] {Threei}  what religion isn't
[11:21] {robbers} So is Judaism, we tried to preempt Thanksgiving this year.
01[11:21] {Threei}  including atheism
[11:21] {nemo} actually, any of them...imagine yourself a cop investigating some of these prophet's experiences
[11:21] {nemo} So, Mr. Moses, a burning bush was talking to you?
[11:22] {nemo} Ahhh, Mary, if you want state aid you'll have to identify the father.  "but there wasn't one!"
[11:22] {nemo} "I
[11:23] {RonS} Russian TV reports inventor of Kalashnikov assault rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died

[11:27] {dino} rebooted, charts ok
01[11:28] {Threei}  you may remember, a few weeks ago we spoke of Skype taking abnormal processor power at some periods of time
[11:28] {nemo} Eve:  Listen Adam, when he said "Be Fruitful and multiply..."  he wasn't talking about fellatio!
01[11:29] {Threei}  turns out the reason is Skype using your computer as a supernode to support the traffic for other users
[11:29] {Will49} sheeesh
01[11:29] {Threei}  you can prevent it from doing that only by editing the registry
01[11:29] {Threei}  here is simple instruction: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/47540-skype-disable-supernoding-for-windows-7
01[11:30] {Threei}  mine stopped doing that after this fix
[11:30] {nemo} what kind of decrease did you see in you cpu usage?

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market UpdateThe Taper Is On



- The FOMC surprised markets and announced the taper at its December meeting on Wednesday. In the press conference after the event, Chairman Bernanke said economic growth would pick up in coming quarters but highlighted that even after the reduction in asset purchases, the Fed would still be adding to its holdings at a rapid pace. Beginning in January, the Fed will buy $75 billion in bonds each month, down from the $85 billion it had been buying since September 2012. The Fed will cut back on purchases of mortgage-backed securities and treasuries by $5 billion per month each. The Fed's assessment of the economic outlook was somewhat more upbeat and the statement was more or less in line with expectations. The VIX moved lower back toward 13 while the Dow closed the week near a new all-time high even after adjusting for inflation. On Friday, the third and final reading of Q3 US GDP came in better than the preliminary reading, rising to +4.1% from 3.6% prior, for the strongest rate of growth since the final quarter of 2011. Equities have shot higher after the taper and the GDP news, while selected decent data in Europe helped European indices gain. For the week, the DJIA rose 3.1%, the S&P500 rose 2.5% and the Nasdaq gained 2.6%.

- In the decision issued on Wednesday, the Fed said it would begin to taper QE buys in January and set qualitative conditions for the next round of tapering but left the specific details of the latter point open ended. The challenge now is managing expectations for a rate hike, and to that end the Fed strengthened its forward guidance by saying rates would remain low well after unemployment reached their 6.5% threshold. Helping matters, CPI figures released this week continued to indicate inflation levels remain below the Fed's target.

- Treasury markets were somewhat volatile as the FOMC announcement induced some recalibration. Leading up to the FOMC meeting traders were betting that at the very least tapering would be discussed extensively, even if it were not announced until next year. After the announcement traders appeared to use the news to unwind bets that the yield curve would steepen. The belly of the curve saw outsized selling which backed up yields on the 5-year and 7-year notes. Midweek offerings in those maturities were particularly disappointing, which helped the 5-year yield to reach a high of 1.72% and the 7-year to top 2.4%. Fed fund futures suggest the market believes the Fed will hike rates by the third quarter of 2015, inducing some early hand wringing that the Fed's forward guidance has not fully convinced markets yet. Spot gold hit its lowest price since June on Friday at $1,185 an ounce, closing in on a 3.5-year low touched earlier that month.

- In China, rocketing short-term rates prompted the PBoC to use short-term liquidity operations to inject emergency funding into money markets, echoing the credit crunch seen last June. In Shanghai, the seven-day repo rate rose to a six-month high of 7.6% on Friday, up from 7.06% on Thursday, while overnight interbank rates jumped to 8.2%. The PBoC injected nearly $50B into money markets to calm nerves. The Shanghai Composite fell nine straight sessions through Friday.

- Emerging-market equities plummeted this week, exacerbated by the Fed, the liquidity situation in China and a political and corruption crisis in Turkey. Turkish equities slumped after mass arrests of clients and family members of PM Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party, followed by retaliatory dismissals of police chiefs by the ruling party. The Turkish Lira fell to 2.0970 per dollar, the weakest since at least 1981. One exception was Russia, where the Micex has gained this week after President Vladimir Putin surprised everyone by pardoning Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

- The yen racked up its eighth weekly decline against the greenback after the Bank of Japan sustained its plan to add 60-70 trillion yen a year to the monetary base. The BoJ said it would maintain stimulus until annual inflation is stable at 2 percent. Most analysts anticipate the BoJ will boost stimulus after the national sales tax is raised in April. USD/JPY entered the week at 103 and rose above 104.5 on Friday.

- EUR/USD topped out last week around 1.3810, which is exactly as high as it got after the Fed announcement this week as well. Despite some decent economic reports, including the excellent ZEW and manufacturing PMI data out of Germany, EUR/USD failed to make top its 2013 highs at the 1.3830 level. Traders see more pressure on the single currency as year-end flows wind up and portfolio inflows slow down. In the UK, the ILO Unemployment Rate edged closer to BOE threshold of 7.0% while Jobless Claims declined for the 13th straight month. GBP/USD rose above 1.6350.

- There were several large M&A deals announced this week. After years of back-and-forth negotiations with various potential partners, AIG reached a deal to sell its aircraft leasing business ILFC to AerCap in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $5.4B. This is the last major sale of AIG's non-core businesses in the wake of the financial crisis, which has seen the size of the firm cut in half. Semiconductor manufacturer Avago agreed to buy LSI Corporation for about $6.6B in cash, moving into the world of networking and storage chips as the computing world embraces the cloud.
