01[13:17] {@Threei} in fact, he would be very alarmed if they liked him
01[13:17] {@Threei} that's how much he dislikes and disrepects them
01[13:17] {@Threei} all he wants is their fear
[13:18] {RonS} O can't even spell respect...literally

March 11 2014
That was one interesting day. Shaky morning, with a few stops that made it look like irreparable losing day - then win after win, for 1:3s and 1:2s took us back to breakeven, then slightly positive, then nicely positive. FB, EBAY, DE, FCX, JPM, both long and short (mostly short though), something else out of other universe, like FCEL... all in all, ended well in positive territory.

[12:43] {fish_49} HG (Copper Futures) still sliding down
01[12:43] {@Threei} I am not jazzed about this trade
[12:44] {fish_49} k
01[12:44] {@Threei} chart is right but underlying asset is in deeper troubles than it show so fart
01[12:44] {@Threei} copper might be in real bear for a while
01[12:44] {@Threei} it doesn't mean FCX is untradeable on a long side, but this setup is not very compelling
01[12:45] {@Threei} heh
01[12:46] {@Threei} anyone wondered why Putin denied the obvious saying that it's not his troops in Crimea?
01[12:46] {@Threei} among other reasons, this:
[12:46] {fish_49} y
01[12:46] {@Threei} Russian oligarchs and senior politicians are likely to escape sanctions over the occupation of Ukraine, Downing Street admitted today. Any asset freezes or visa bans imposed by the West on Moscow in reprisal for the deployment of Russian troops in Crimea will be targeted at “officials who have links to the action that has been taken with regard to the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty", the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman said.
01[12:46] {@Threei} go ahead, prove it
01[12:47] {@Threei} wealthy businessmen who are close to Vladimir Putin, many of whom have vast fortunes in London and across Europe, are unlikely to be hit.
01[12:47] {@Threei} Sources said Mr Putin and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, are unlikely to be affected as the Foreign Office wants them to be free to travel to talks over Ukraine.
[12:48] {fish_49} He starting to sound like Baghdad Bob
01[12:48] {@Threei} only he actually has military and is not afraid to use it
[12:48] {fish_49} http://www.free-lebanon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Baghdad-Bob.jpg
01[12:49] {@Threei} More U.S. F-16 fighting falcons will be deployed to Poland in the coming days and weeks, the Pentagon press service has reported.
[12:50] {fish_49} words can't fix it so we send planes
01[12:50] {@Threei} planes can't either
01[12:50] {@Threei} they already said they are not goihng to engage militarily
01[12:50] {@Threei} so who cares about those planes
[12:50] {dino} poland does
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree but when did they ever do what they say?
[12:51] {fish_49} it's just a show of force
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree with the comment yesterday Ukraine needs Nuc's
[12:51] {dino} they are there to say you get ukrain, but no more
01[12:51] {@Threei} that's all he wants
[12:51] {fish_49} Another cold war
[12:52] {dino} good for defense companies
01[12:52] {@Threei} no one does anything about such incursion, that WILL lead to another
01[12:52] {@Threei} just as Georgia in 2008
01[12:53] {@Threei} there wouldn't be Crimea if that wasn't allowed and forgiven
[12:53] {dino} agreed
01[12:53] {@Threei} also, when such precedent is created with broken guarantees for giving up your nukes, how's that going to play in the future?
01[12:54] {@Threei} Iran gets the message loud and clear - get those nukes if you want to be safe
[12:54] {fish_49} Yep
[12:54] {fish_49} Kim Jung Un will work harder as well
01[12:54] {@Threei} right
01[12:55] {@Threei} this us why I said I see no good options there
01[12:55] {@Threei} no one wants war
01[12:55] {@Threei} but all the measures avoiding it only create more pretext for further confrontations
01[12:55] {@Threei} we didn't get here in one step, there were a lot of errors made in the past
01[12:56] {@Threei} and as a result, we have this situation with bad choices and worse choices
01[12:58] {@Threei} Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian saboteur in Donetsk Oblast on March 10, said SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko. The suspect is accused of preparing explosions and orchestrating other acts of diversion, said Nalyvaichenko in a statement on March 11. His activity is suspected of serving as a pretext for a wider Russian military invasion of Ukraine beyond Crimea.

01[14:42] {@Threei} Herbalife Ltd. Pershing (Ackman): Company has yet to disprove any of the issues set forth in the presentation - presentation- Claims that research conducted in Chinese markets show that HLF has violated multi-level marketing (MLM) rules in China including violations of how it pays distributors and how they recruit new representatives.
01[14:42] {@Threei} you need real coffee, fish
01[14:42] {@Threei} brewed in jezva
01[14:42] {@Threei} not this drip crap
[14:43] {fish_49} ohhh no When I was a working man there were some cubans that gave me a small plastic tiny cup of mud they said was coffee
[14:43] {fish_49} I thought I didnt sleep for days
01[14:43] {@Threei} I swear HLF will be the end of Ackman
[14:43] {nemo} anybody else's buying power screwed up
[14:43] {dino} herbalife is ackman's white whale, going to ruin him
01[14:43] {@Threei} and he will be proven right after he goes bankrupt
[14:43] {dino} thats what i'm thinking
[14:43] {fish_49} my BP seems off
01[14:43] {@Threei} - "Herbalife would have you believe that its distributors are paid as hourly consultants" when it is 100% paid on commissions. Pershing claims that the consulting pay is a "fictional" construct based on distributing commissions divided work hours. Says this practice enables them to talk to recruits at public seminars, and circumvent Chinese law. - Distributors in China that were interviewed suggested that they had multiple layers of distributors working under them, violating Chinese law which does not allow distributors to recruit other distributors.

01[15:38] {@Threei} “A country which willingly gave up its nuclear arsenal . . . and received guarantees from the world’s leading countries finds itself unprotected, one-on-one with a country which is armed to its teeth,” Arseniy Yatseniuk, Ukraine’s interim prime minister, said.
01[15:39] {@Threei} “If you do not uphold these guarantees which you signed up to in the Budapest Memorandum, then explain how you will convince Iran and North Korea to give up their nuclear status?” he asked.

01[11:29] {@Threei} military draft started in my town in Ukraine
[11:30] {RonS} centuries ago?
[11:30] {fish_49} They plan to fight until the end
[11:30] {ese} Do you still have family there vad
01[11:30] {@Threei} no... friends, yes
[11:31] {fish_49} of the age where they would be drafted?
01[11:32] {@Threei} no, but their son is 18
[11:33] {fish_49} I hope it can be resolved without blood
[11:33] {nemo} already been blood
01[11:33] {@Threei} so far, it's straight-up escalation...
01[11:34] {@Threei} good boy FCX

[11:34] {fish_49} 1 more tick
01[11:34] {@Threei} 1:1
[11:35] {fish_49} there we go
01[11:35] {@Threei} honestly, I see no good options over there... it's a choice between very bad now and very bad later
01[11:36] {@Threei} and one hot head on either side is enough for the powder keg to explode
01[11:36] {@Threei} in pre-WW2 months, it was the same... no one thought it was possible
01[11:37] {@Threei} and everyone stumbled toward it making one logical step after another
01[11:37] {@Threei} 1:2

01[11:42] {@Threei} wow FCX
01[11:43] {@Threei} and at the beginning of the trade I was thinking, maybe limit it to just a scalp
[11:43] {mojo1} unreal
01[11:43] {@Threei} good thing decided against it
01[11:43] {@Threei} oh
01[11:43] {@Threei} here is why
[11:44] {nemo} what copper futures doing?
01[11:44] {@Threei} IPath DJ/UBS Copper Copper futures move to new lows back below $3.00/lb- Weakness attributed to renewed chatter of potential for further corporate debt defaults in China.
01[11:44] {@Threei} Lowest since July 2010
[11:44] {fish_49} down Nemo
01[11:44] {@Threei} that's what kills FCX

[11:44] {nemo} yep
01[11:44] {@Threei} what can I say... perfect timing on our short
01[11:45] {@Threei} PLUG
01[11:45] {@Threei} Plug Power Inc Citron research makes cautious comments; sees fair value at $0.50/shr- Citron tweets: "Citron comments on this casino stock. Management wouldn't buy it at .15 cents why should you buy it at $11?"
01[11:45] {@Threei} Cotron tends to kill stocks

[12:43] {fish_49} fcx breakout back to Vwap?
[12:43] {fish_49} HG (Copper Futures) still sliding down
01[12:43] {@Threei} I am not jazzed about this trade
[12:44] {fish_49} k
01[12:44] {@Threei} chart is right but underlying asset is in deeper troubles than it show so fart
01[12:44] {@Threei} copper might be in real bear for a while
01[12:44] {@Threei} it doesn't mean FCX is untradeable on a long side, but this setup is not very compelling
01[12:45] {@Threei} heh
01[12:46] {@Threei} anyone wondered why Putin denied the obvious saying that it's not his troops in Crimea?
01[12:46] {@Threei} among other reasons, this:
[12:46] {fish_49} y
01[12:46] {@Threei} Russian oligarchs and senior politicians are likely to escape sanctions over the occupation of Ukraine, Downing Street admitted today. Any asset freezes or visa bans imposed by the West on Moscow in reprisal for the deployment of Russian troops in Crimea will be targeted at “officials who have links to the action that has been taken with regard to the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty", the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman said.
01[12:46] {@Threei} go ahead, prove it
01[12:47] {@Threei} wealthy businessmen who are close to Vladimir Putin, many of whom have vast fortunes in London and across Europe, are unlikely to be hit.
01[12:47] {@Threei} Sources said Mr Putin and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, are unlikely to be affected as the Foreign Office wants them to be free to travel to talks over Ukraine.
[12:48] {fish_49} He starting to sound like Baghdad Bob
01[12:48] {@Threei} only he actually has military and is not afraid to use it
[12:48] {fish_49} http://www.free-lebanon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Baghdad-Bob.jpg
01[12:49] {@Threei} More U.S. F-16 fighting falcons will be deployed to Poland in the coming days and weeks, the Pentagon press service has reported.
[12:50] {fish_49} words can't fix it so we send planes
01[12:50] {@Threei} planes can't either
01[12:50] {@Threei} they already said they are not goihng to engage militarily
01[12:50] {@Threei} so who cares about those planes
[12:50] {dino} poland does
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree but when did they ever do what they say?
[12:51] {fish_49} it's just a show of force
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree with the comment yesterday Ukraine needs Nuc's
[12:51] {dino} they are there to say you get ukrain, but no more
01[12:51] {@Threei} that's all he wants
[12:51] {fish_49} Another cold war
[12:52] {dino} good for defense companies
01[12:52] {@Threei} no one does anything about such incursion, that WILL lead to another
01[12:52] {@Threei} just as Georgia in 2008
01[12:53] {@Threei} there wouldn't be Crimea if that wasn't allowed and forgiven
[12:53] {dino} agreed
01[12:53] {@Threei} also, when such precedent is created with broken guarantees for giving up your nukes, how's that going to play in the future?
01[12:54] {@Threei} Iran gets the message loud and clear - get those nukes if you want to be safe
[12:54] {fish_49} Yep
[12:54] {fish_49} Kim Jung Un will work harder as well
01[12:54] {@Threei} right
01[12:55] {@Threei} this us why I said I see no good options there
01[12:55] {@Threei} no one wants war
01[12:55] {@Threei} but all the measures avoiding it only create more pretext for further confrontations
01[12:55] {@Threei} we didn't get here in one step, there were a lot of errors made in the past
01[12:56] {@Threei} and as a result, we have this situation with bad choices and worse choices
01[12:58] {@Threei} Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian saboteur in Donetsk Oblast on March 10, said SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko. The suspect is accused of preparing explosions and orchestrating other acts of diversion, said Nalyvaichenko in a statement on March 11. His activity is suspected of serving as a pretext for a wider Russian military invasion of Ukraine beyond Crimea.

01[14:42] {@Threei} Herbalife Ltd. Pershing (Ackman): Company has yet to disprove any of the issues set forth in the presentation - presentation- Claims that research conducted in Chinese markets show that HLF has violated multi-level marketing (MLM) rules in China including violations of how it pays distributors and how they recruit new representatives.
01[14:42] {@Threei} you need real coffee, fish
01[14:42] {@Threei} brewed in jezva
01[14:42] {@Threei} not this drip crap
[14:43] {fish_49} ohhh no When I was a working man there were some cubans that gave me a small plastic tiny cup of mud they said was coffee
[14:43] {fish_49} I thought I didnt sleep for days
01[14:43] {@Threei} I swear HLF will be the end of Ackman
[14:43] {nemo} anybody else's buying power screwed up
[14:43] {dino} herbalife is ackman's white whale, going to ruin him
01[14:43] {@Threei} and he will be proven right after he goes bankrupt
[14:43] {dino} thats what i'm thinking
[14:43] {fish_49} my BP seems off
01[14:43] {@Threei} - "Herbalife would have you believe that its distributors are paid as hourly consultants" when it is 100% paid on commissions. Pershing claims that the consulting pay is a "fictional" construct based on distributing commissions divided work hours. Says this practice enables them to talk to recruits at public seminars, and circumvent Chinese law. - Distributors in China that were interviewed suggested that they had multiple layers of distributors working under them, violating Chinese law which does not allow distributors to recruit other distributors.

01[15:38] {@Threei} “A country which willingly gave up its nuclear arsenal . . . and received guarantees from the world’s leading countries finds itself unprotected, one-on-one with a country which is armed to its teeth,” Arseniy Yatseniuk, Ukraine’s interim prime minister, said.
01[15:39] {@Threei} “If you do not uphold these guarantees which you signed up to in the Budapest Memorandum, then explain how you will convince Iran and North Korea to give up their nuclear status?” he asked.
[15:39] {dino} he's right, our word means nothing
01[15:39] {@Threei} yup

[11:06] {nemo} I use flip phone screens
01[11:06] {@Threei} out FAZ
[11:07] {fish_49} the reason I asked is because of FAZ I wanted to stay in but was not comfy managing it while in other trades. If I could have put in my sell orders, I would have felt comfy going on to another trade
[11:07] {RonS} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvrupRQD44I
[11:08] {fish_49} I will set up 4 montages 2 Montages per trade

01[15:20] {@Threei} yup
[15:22] {fish_49} did I make an error or is it not shortable?
01[15:22] {@Threei} not shortable
01[15:23] {@Threei} who got it, trail to .11
01[15:23] {@Threei} Long Setup: SLW .10 break
01[15:23] {@Threei} If holds .05
[15:28] {fish_49} gld not shortable is specific to DAS?
01[15:29] {@Threei} some brokers might have it, some not
[15:29] {fish_49} ok
[15:29] {dino} i can short it
01[15:29] {@Threei} usually DAS has most stocks, their short list is quite extensive
01[15:29] {@Threei} but in some particular names it can ber in reverse
01[15:29] {@Threei} and it changes from day to day
[15:30] {fish_49} thanks for explaining
01[15:30] {@Threei} to make it more universal:
01[15:30] {@Threei} there are cases of a name being not shortable across the board, for various reasons,
01[15:30] {@Threei} mostly legal,
01[15:31] {@Threei} and the rest is a matter of having inventory for a name
01[15:31] {@Threei} since shorting is borrowing, broker must have inventory for a stock to lend
[15:32] {fish_49} yhoo finally chewed up that huge road block at 38

Market Week Wrap-up
TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: Cold Weather, Cold War
- The S&P500 notched new all-time closing highs this week and not even the prospects of war in Ukraine managed to unseat the relentless bid. Ukraine became a central issue after Russian troops occupied Crimea without a shot fired and the Ukrainian province prepared to legitimize the move via referendum. In Europe, ECB President Draghi was more hawkish than expected and resisted calls to offer additional accommodation or even say the word deflation. At China's National People's Congress, Beijing unveiled its official 2014 targets, most notably maintaining the 7.5% GDP objective for the third year in a row and set the inflation target at 3.5%. Meanwhile, China's Feb manufacturing PMI fell to an eight-month low of 50.2, just a hair away from contraction. For the week, the DJIA rose 0.8%, the S&P500 gained 1.0% and the Nasdaq added 0.7%.
- On Monday, Russia's MICEX index fell 11%, the DAX was down as much as 3% and the CAC fell as much as 2.5% as Europe responded to Russian escalation over the weekend. The ruble was in free fall, prompting the Russian central bank to raise its key lending rate to 7% from 5.5%. At its worst, USD/RUB rose as high as 36.6, the ruble's weakest level since the 1998 currency crisis. An air of unreality surrounded Russian statements about the situation, as Putin denied that Russian troops were even participating in the occupation of Crimea (he said the troops were just extraordinarily well-armed local Russians). The Crimean parliament asked Putin to start the procedure of formally allowing Crimea to join the Russian Federation and scheduled a referendum for March 16th. Ukraine called the moves illegal and promised to hold on to the peninsula. Europe responded by threatening to consider sanctions, while the US is actively establishing a limited sanctions regime and sending token military assets to the region.
- The February jobs report took markets by surprise on Friday. After the ADP miss (at +139K jobs v +155Ke) and various weak employment components from February regional Fed reports, many participants were assuming the Labor Department report would be terrible. On Thursday, Fed Governor Lockhart said he did not expect to see an outstanding jobs report. But in the event, the Feb NFPs roundly beat expectations (+175K v +149Ke) and the unemployment rate ticked up one-tenth to 6.7%. The biggest surprise in the data was a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings, the largest increase since last June, while average hours worked fell, likely due to distortions caused by weather.
- The February ISM manufacturing data was slightly better than expected, rising to 53.2 from January's nine-month low of 51.3. The key new orders component saw solid gains, rising to 54.5 from 51.2 prior. Note that the weakness in December and January was chiefly seen in the new orders component.
- February auto sales numbers are the latest economic data to be impacted by winter weather. Ford and GM both saw sales decline on a y/y basis, although total unit sales were more or less in line with expectations. Sales executives from both firms cited the weather as restraining sales. Chrysler's sales grew 11%, and executives said the weather only helped sales of their Jeep line, which were up 47% y/y. Nissan's sales grew 16% y/y, although this was a bit shy of expectations.
- In earnings news, shares of Radio Shack are down 20% this week after the troubled retailer reported brutally bad fourth quarter results, with losses three times the year ago figure and retail comps down 12%. Homebuilder Hovnanian dragged down the entire sector after it missed revenue expectations and racked up an unexpectedly large quarterly loss. The firm's contract cancellation rate crept up and its net contracts signed metric fell y/y. HOV is down 17% while fellow luxury home builder KBH is down nearly 10% this week. Costco missed top- and bottom-line expectations in its second-quarter report. The price club's same store sales held up well, up 2% overall while US comps were up 4%. Earnings fell y/y, dragged down by weak margins in the holiday season and tough FX conditions.
- Safeway announced a formal merger deal with Cerberus's Albertsons after a long courtship. The $40/share price values Safeway at more than $9 billion. Note that there have been reports that Kroger is still mulling a higher offer. A Deutsche Bank analyst wrote that Kroger should bid and that Safeway could fetch a price above $40.
- The ECB resisted calls to fight disinflation with more easing at its policy meeting on Thursday. EUR/USD was steady after the ECB left rates on hold and refrained from launching any new programs, and then moved sharply higher, testing 1.3850, once it was clear that ECB President Draghi would merely reiterates familiar positions at the post-rate decision press conference. Draghi said that recent improvements in the eurozone obviate the need to halt SMP sterilization. On Friday morning, EUR/USD moved even higher, probing briefly above 1.3920 to its highest level since late 2011. The euro weakened after the US jobs report.
- China has now witnessed its first corporate default in history. Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy is looking to sell overseas assets to make up a missed bond payment and neither banks nor government entities are stepping in to help. Chaori's default took place during the annual People's Congress session, reinforcing the signal that Beijing is letting market forces play a stronger role in the economy. However analysts point out this is only the beginning given that the number of Chinese companies with debt levels double equity has surged since the financial crisis began.
