[06:22] {esemde} contract after contract

[06:34] {Threei} was aiming for 8 a few days ago when we first mentioned it
[06:34] {Threei} still verry tough one, low volume
[06:34] {Threei} sneaky climber

[06:49] {Threei} 10 cents stop, worth a try
[06:49] {Threei} stocks stays in red while NQ is up 13 points
[06:50] {Threei} wouldn't uptick more than 5 cents while NQ up 3 points

[06:53] {Threei} welcome :)
[06:53] {esemde} well done all enjoyed watching that....
[06:54] {Threei} only watching?
[06:54] {Threei} SCON?
[06:54] {esemde} yes i'm afraid so vad......tons of work on my desk here....
[06:54] {Threei} oh
[06:54] {Threei} sorry
[06:55] {esemde} am doing both.....busy season for me....
[06:55] {Threei} yeah, you described it last week
[06:55] {Threei} sounded intimidating :)
[06:55] {esemde} it is but fun.....still learning from you all though
[06:56] {Threei} stop to .71 for second half
[06:57] {bruce} was that capitulation trade vad?
[06:57] {esemde} i'm still participating in a small way....bought 100 shs of CSIQ at 14.50 frday to swing trade it
[06:57] {Threei} capitulstion?
[06:57] {Threei} capitulation is a long play on quick selloff
[06:57] {Threei} bottom fishin
[06:58] {Threei} that was short on relative weakness,
[06:58] {Threei} aggressive entry close to resistance
[06:58] {Threei} out BRCM
[06:58] {bruce} k - thoght it just menat overextended in either direction
[06:58] {Threei} overextended upward is euphoria,
[06:58] {BillyD} took MLMN for scalp earlier and it kept going
[06:59] {Threei} and in ane case, it refers to trend reversal play
[06:59] {Threei} BRCM short was trend continuation
[06:59] {bruce} yep - figured that
[06:59] {Threei} :)
[06:59] {Threei} wtg Billy
[06:59] {Threei} I can't come to agreement with this one
[06:59] {BillyD} ty...it was your mention from Friday
[07:00] {BillyD} well...reason for .18 scalp
[07:00] {Threei} yes... I just get shaken out on it more often than I get it right
[07:00] {Threei} its rhythm is not exactly my thing I guess
[07:02] {Threei} ESLR
[07:02] {Threei} trying to catch up with solar revival
[07:02] {BillyD} this one shakes me when it is back to normal
[07:02] {BillyD} JADE acting up
[07:03] {BillyD} not in or chasing here
[07:03] {Threei} DSTI too
[07:03] {Threei} don't jump on any of them
[07:04] {Threei} at this point it's unclear whether mania is back or it's just a water-testing
[07:04] {Threei} my personal feeling is, solar mania will be back and soon enough, but it's not on yet
[07:04] {esemde} DSTI is that solar as well
[07:04] {Threei} yup
[07:04] {Threei} (I think)
[07:05] {BillyD} DSTI....pick entry carefully
[07:05] {BillyD} lol
[07:05] {Threei} when it comes to fundamentals, sectors etc, double chech me please :)
[07:05] {esemde} my solar screen is a sea of green this morning
[07:05] {Roman} long JRJC
[07:06] {Roman} very small
[07:06] {Threei} to me, "it's forming a setup, risk is within my tolerance" is fundamental enough, lol
[07:07] {Threei} FSLR seems to be leading the charge
[07:07] {Threei} ASTI and SOLF are not too hot
[07:07] {Threei} so looks like at this point mania is not really widespread
[07:08] {BillyD} good observation
[07:08] {Threei} tail is not following the head confidently
[07:08] {BillyD} but there is a pulse
[07:10] {Threei} CSUN
[07:10] {Threei} no news that I see
[07:11] {Threei} you are up 2 points of your CSIQ ese
[07:11] {Threei} nicely done
[07:12] {Threei} my understanding is stop was under 14... so it's 1:1 here
[07:13] {Threei} scary trade:
[07:13] {Threei} SEED
[07:13] {Threei} 5.93 long
[07:13] {Threei} stop under .75
[07:14] {esemde} yes...100 shs...
[07:14] {esemde} my stop is at 14
[07:15] {esemde} am gonna let this ride for the rest of the day....and see what happens
[07:15] {Threei} figured that... "I am watching you... I am right behind your shoulder"... (in my best lame horror-movie voice)
[07:15] {esemde} slow and steady hopefully....
[07:16] {esemde} can't really make any money this way but a stress free way to participate until work load dies down a bit
[07:21] {BillyD} HOKU may be a short coming up here
[07:21] {BillyD} just so jumpy
[07:22] {bruce} gigm vad?
[07:22] {Threei} chart is right...
[07:22] {Threei} it's not an easy one to trade
[07:22] {Threei} worth a try half lot
[07:22] {BillyD} GIGM tough imop
[07:23] {Threei} .63 trigger
[07:23] {Threei} by just personality of this stock, I'd say 55/45 trade :)
[07:24] {bruce} not worth it then
[07:26] {_lumdus} .63 trigger on what stock
[07:27] {Threei} GIGM lumdus, answering bruce's question
[07:37] {Threei} forget GIGM

[07:40] {BillyD} HOKU steam
[07:42] {BillyD} any read HOKU Vad
[07:44] {Threei} trying to get a feel for it... not much luck so far
[07:44] {BillyD} it seems to keep you on edge
[07:44] {BillyD} because of its personality
[07:45] {Threei} FFIV... I am not delighted bruce
[07:45] {Threei} kind of marginal trade... not compelling
[07:45] {Threei} I prefer my trades to make me grab them
[07:46] {bruce} k - I thought it was settingh up as a short
[07:46] {Threei} it did as NQ broke down
[07:47] {bruce} yup
[07:47] {bruce} read it right for once
[07:53] {BillyD} FFHL moving

[08:31] {Threei} not confidence
[08:31] {Threei} maybe goes maybe not
[08:32] {BillyD} i got out earlier around even...then rentered .45 for scalp of about .12
[08:32] {Threei} good way to play it
[08:32] {BillyD} pullbacks
[08:35] {Threei} this teleporting is what I dislike on HOKU
[08:35] {BillyD} u are at the mercy
[08:35] {Threei} got ready to break .75, all opf sudden it's 10 cents lower

[09:12] {Threei} 43.09 stop
[09:13] {Threei} maybe too tight... if prefer .04, adjust shares accordingly
[09:15] {Threei} FSLR continues
[09:19] {Threei} wow... look at SWAT spread
[09:19] {Threei} is it even legal?? :)
[09:19] {BillyD} only if you participate

[09:28] {bruce} frpt - any read vad?
[09:29] {Threei} 13.10 for scalp
[09:29] {Threei} 12.94 stop
[09:29] {Threei} be careful with this one, it can be quite treacherous
[09:31] {bruce} thanks
[09:42] {Threei} BEAV stop to .14
[09:58] {Threei} DISH
[09:58] {Threei} MOVES HIGHER AFTER THESTREET.COM SAYS TALKS WITH AT&T HAVE COOLED BUT TALKS CONTINUE- source says talks are ongoing about a price in the $60's. Another source says the deal is still happening, just at a slower pace
[10:06] {bruce} daily volume on beav has been dropping last few days vad
[10:06] {bruce} what makes it a good intraday candidate today?
[10:07] {Threei} intraday setup?
[10:07] {bruce} lol
[10:07] {Threei} there is clean JBE on 1 min
[10:07] {bruce} I'm leery of long consolidations
[10:07] {Threei} lower volume on Fri- it was half day don't forget
[10:08] {bruce} I see the [pattern OK but have seen them fail a lot
[10:08] {bruce} true
[10:09] {Threei} in any case, it hit 1:1 twice
[10:09] {Threei} and does it now for a third time
[10:11] {bruce} yup- worked well
[10:11] {bruce} it'sa really obvious pattern
[10:12] {bruce} and I've had a really low succes rate
[10:12] {bruce} with that long breakout pattern
[10:12] {Threei} this is one of my most traded patterns... with very nice success rate
[10:12] {Threei} most of my calls you see are of this kind
[10:14] {bruce} for me - the short consolidations rok fine
[10:14] {bruce} the ones over 30 minutes fail a lot
[10:14] {Threei} this is normal
[10:14] {Threei} same thing with most breakout setups
[10:14] {Threei} triangles are famous for this pattern for instance:
[10:15] {Threei} if breeak occurs with 2/3 till apex, chance of successful break is much higher
[10:15] {Threei} with = within
[10:15] {bruce} k
[10:15] {bruce} neverr put a number to it
[10:15] {bruce} but have noticed exactly that
[10:15] {bruce} the longer they continue
[10:15] {Threei} if I remember correct, TTR mentions this distinctions too
[10:15] {bruce} less likely they will work
[10:16] {bruce} they're beautiful fakeouts
[10:16] {bruce} suck more and more people in - then reverse
[10:18] {Threei} open your copy of TTR, page 142
[10:18] {Threei} Miscullaneous Points
[10:18] {Threei} Point # 1
[10:20] {bruce} k
[10:41] {Threei} out BEAV .40 and .41
[10:44] {BillyD} gj
[10:44] {Threei} booooring trade
[10:45] {Threei} but, you know... bore me with profit
[10:45] {BillyD} profitable
[10:45] {Threei} I am willing to be bored all the way to the bank
[11:00] {bruce} nice play w beqav vad
[11:00] {Threei} ty
[11:00] {Threei} too bad BRCM choose to shake us out first
[11:00] {Threei} would be a very nice short
[11:00] {Threei} especially if we went into coma and forgot we had it
[11:01] {bruce} lol
[11:01] {bruce} I'd like to do some longer holds
[11:02] {bruce} but working on just getting profitable w scalps first
[11:02] {bruce} have to head out
[11:02] {bruce} see you all in am
[11:02] {BillyD} cya
[11:02] {Threei} take care bruce
[11:04] {cosmo} MLNM hod = 14.94 fwiw
[11:06] {cosmo} SKIL tests @ 10
[11:23] {Threei} NVDA long with .14 stop
[11:23] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:25] {Threei} in
[11:25] {Threei} 5 cents stop
[11:26] {BillyD} same here
[11:27] {Threei} lol... 1;1 is reached {G}
[11:27] {Threei} not selling of course
[11:28] {BillyD} lol
[11:28] {Threei} first half out above .30
[11:28] {BillyD} ok
[11:29] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entry
[11:33] {BillyD} out some here
[11:33] {Threei} perfect example of anticipatory trade
[11:34] {Threei} NQ looked like upward turn at the moment,
[11:34] {BillyD} they are always perfect when they work
[11:34] {Threei} .31 looked like long trigger with .14 stop,
[11:34] {Threei} NVDA sat sloce to support,
[11:34] {Threei} making aggressive entry very low risk one
[11:34] {BillyD} yes
[11:35] {_lumdus} csco above 27.80 i think
[11:35] {Threei} and before cosmo asks... sloce is close typed by dyslexic
[11:37] {_lumdus} in csco .80
[11:42] {BillyD} Vad...stop still .14
[11:43] {Threei} yup
[11:46] {BillyD} out
[11:50] {Threei} in again
[11:50] {Threei} just a quick scalp
[11:50] {Threei} .99 stop
[11:52] {_lumdus} would be nice a reversal hre
[11:52] {Threei} good chance for that, and very tight stop
[11:52] {Threei} can take play like this just on risk alone
[11:52] {Threei} out half .10
[11:53] {_lumdus} oh.. just looking for pennies today. hey better then losing
[11:54] {_lumdus} i still like csco if we can get some reversal
[11:54] {BillyD} it seems when I look for more than pennies today...I give back the other half of the first pennies
[11:54] {Threei} this is lunch time, this is Monday, jerky shaky market, several nice wins under the belt...
[11:54] {Threei} don't need much right now
[11:55] {_lumdus} small jerkey pops . that's about it, can't get much more then .001
[11:56] {Threei} .001?
[11:56] {Threei} that would be a bit too small :)
[11:56] {Threei} out balance
[11:56] {BillyD} in MLNM .96
[12:04] {BillyD} mkt not helping
[12:06] {Threei} well, your stock is sitting tight
[12:06] {Threei} I'd say, good pick
[12:06] {BillyD} lol
[12:06] {BillyD} talk more please
[12:06] {Threei} {MLNM} oh you think you can talk me down?
[12:07] {BillyD} ok...fess up you hit the fat finger
[12:07] {Threei} nope... I am in coma
[12:08] {Threei} {market} since when it kept you from trading...
[12:13] {BillyD} MLNM now
[12:13] {BillyD} now I said
[12:13] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[12:14] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[12:14] {Threei} believe you me
[12:15] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[12:15] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[12:16] {BillyD} lol
[12:17] {BillyD} have mad some anticipatory trades and then rationalized maybe I was guessing too much only too bail and then see them do what you anticipated
[12:17] {BillyD} gotta stick w/ the small voice inside
[12:17] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[12:17] {BillyD} roflol
[12:19] {Threei} out MLNM .07
[12:19] {Threei} ty billy :)
[12:20] {BillyD} yw
[12:20] {BillyD} out 1/2 +.10
[12:26] {Threei} whoa CSIQ
[12:26] {Threei} serious selloff
[12:26] {Threei} due to bounce
[12:26] {Threei} in half lot
[12:26] {Threei} stop under .50
[12:30] {Threei} won't let it lose .75 on me
[12:30] {Threei} out
[12:30] {Threei} lousy +.6 cents...
[12:30] {Threei} wanted much bigger bounce but not going to risk another sharp drop
[12:30] {BillyD} yeah
[12:34] {_lumdus} put stop oat break even for csiq
[12:36] {BillyD} out rest MLNM +.06
[12:39] {Threei} good out Billy
[12:40] {Threei} WIRES REPORT NEW BIN LADEN TAPE RELEASED ADDRESSING EUROPEANS
[12:40] {BillyD} thx....spinning wheels day here
[12:40] {Threei} quite nice day money wise
[12:40] {Threei} boring, yeah
[12:40] {BillyD} that guy picks on everyone
[12:40] {Threei} but I really don't mind
[12:40] {BillyD} not $ day for me
[12:41] {Threei} I think you undersize those aggressive entry plays
[12:41] {BillyD} that is exactly part of problem
[12:41] {Threei} when I have 4-5 cents stop on liquid stocks I don't really hold back
[12:42] {BillyD} then I find I have to keep pushing trades
[12:42] {Threei} with such tiny stop and potentially small target, why not play bigger size
[12:42] {BillyD} my better trades earlier I got small fills
[12:42] {BillyD} your right though.....
[12:43] {Threei} 12 cents is fine with 1K, not much sense with half lot, considerably nice with 2-3K
[12:43] {Threei} that's the point of agressive entries, right?
[12:43] {BillyD} yeah......this is then conclusion I have been coming to
[12:43] {Threei} to minimize the stop
[12:44] {Threei} so your risk is smaller
[12:44] {BillyD} just in my trades overall....I need to increase size unless volatility doesn't warrant
[12:44] {Threei} but your risk tolerance is the same
[12:44] {Threei} you would cut down shares size if play required wider stop
[12:44] {BillyD} yes
[12:44] {Threei} so why wouldn't you increase size when play allows for a very tight stop...
[12:44] {Threei} works both ways :)
[12:45] {BillyD} true :)
[12:47] {_lumdus} so let's have some good old rally eod at least... comon
[12:57] {Threei} not much of a rally... oh well
[13:02] {Threei} thank you all
[13:02] {Threei} havce a good evening, see you tomorrow
[13:02] {BillyD} cya tomorrow

[05:29] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN SAYS POLICY MAKERS MAY NEED TO ADDRESS THE WEAK USD
[05:29] {Threei} - If not for flexibility in the US economy the chances of a recession would be above 50%
[05:29] {Threei} muzzzle... urgent
[05:29] {BillyD} it picks up where we left off
[05:29] {BillyD} good morning
[05:30] {Threei} there should be continuation, shouldn't it
[05:30] {Threei} hi :)
[05:30] {Threei} ummm... continuity
[05:31] {Threei} (CA) FIN MIN FLAHERTY: PLEASED TO SEE C$ AT MORE 'REASONABLE' RANGE
[05:31] {Threei} yeah me too
[05:31] {Threei} akthough I consider $1.50 more reasonable than parity {G}
[05:34] {cosmo} ETFC 4.50 - 4.60 range ...so far
[05:34] {BillyD} "They came to hit tonight," Carpenter said. "I think tonight, we were overmatched."
[05:34] {BillyD} this is the statement from ASU's quarterback after getting beat up last night and an almost concussion
[05:35] {Threei} at first it sounded more like quote from Alice in Wonderland
[05:35] {BillyD} lol
[05:37] {cosmo} it was a mad trukey bowl
[05:37] {BillyD} mad or bad
[05:37] {cosmo} hmm
[05:37] {cosmo} thinking
[05:38] {Threei} oh no
[05:39] {cosmo} it was bad that Barkley left so soon...
[05:39] {Threei} I am having headaches even from simple reading word "thinking"
[05:41] {cosmo} I like the fact that both coaches are good thinkers tho
[05:41] {BillyD} i could Marcus Allen on field but Barkley...
[05:42] {BillyD} USC players were just bigger, stronger and tougher
[05:42] {cosmo} they'd make terrible traders tho
[05:42] {BillyD} couldn't believe
[05:45] {cosmo} they(ASU) might have been caught thinking ahead to UofA
[05:45] {cosmo} hehe ...sorry
[06:09] {dptl} good morning all
[06:10] {BillyD} morning Dp
[06:10] {Threei} dp :)
[06:11] {BillyD} let's see if CPSL gets folllow thru
[06:12] {cosmo} TIBX up-graded fwiw
[06:14] {dptl} so its short day today?
[06:14] {Threei} yes
[06:14] {dptl} ty
[06:15] {Threei} not counting on much... if we get couple safe scalps I'll be satisfied
[06:15] {Threei} a lot of players don't bother today, just take one loong weekend
[06:15] {Threei} the only reason market is open at all is 3 days rule
[06:17] {dino} gm all
[06:17] {BillyD} dino :)
[06:17] {Threei} dino :)
[06:17] {bruce} hello dino
[06:18] {dino} :)
[06:18] {esemde} morning .....
[06:19] {Threei} ese :)
[06:20] {bruce} hi ese
[06:21] {esemde} hi vad bruce.....what is the 3 day rule
[06:21] {Threei} investors must not be left with no access to their money for more than 3 days in a row
[06:21] {esemde} hmmmm i didn't know that....
[06:22] {Threei} so when there is a holiday around the weekend, on Tuesday or on Thursday, instead of having 4 days of holiday they insert half day trading on Mon or Fri
[06:22] {BillyD} didn't realize that included weekends
[06:22] {Threei} this is the only reason we have these half day markets
[06:23] {bruce} is today 1/2 only?
[06:23] {Threei} yes
[06:23] {BillyD} wow....you are full of facts
[06:23] {BillyD} 1pm ET Bruce
[06:23] {bruce} good to know
[06:23] {Threei} problem is billy... they are random and unsorted
[06:23] {bruce} hate to be stuck in trade on close
[06:24] {Threei} so unless you get lucky and ask me right question, I am useless :)
[06:24] {BillyD} I look for patterns Vad
[06:25] {cosmo} ETFC possible double botto..on the daily
[06:25] {Threei} if I adjust to today's market I'll have none {G}
[06:25] {cosmo} bottom
[06:25] {Threei} interested to see if CAST uses this low volume day to jump through resistance
[06:26] {Threei} overall, CAST so far is a classic case of early accumulation stage
[06:26] {BillyD} w/ the buying u would think CAST alreay pop
[06:26] {Threei} not necessary
[06:26] {Threei} early accumulation is a stage where "they" are trying to collect as many shares as possible without attracting attention
[06:27] {BillyD} yes
[06:27] {BillyD} longer the better eh
[06:27] {Threei} so as soon as movement becomes too obvious, price or volume or both wise
[06:27] {Threei} "they" retreat, drop bids, stop buying
[06:27] {Threei} and could even put out offers
[06:27] {Threei} to get the stock off the radars again,
[06:28] {Threei} until "they" are about done accumulating.
[06:28] {Threei} Then the movement will be allowed to become conspicous
[06:28] {Threei} to attract the crowds and provide momentum
[06:29] {BillyD} makes sense
[06:29] {Threei} basics of tape reading...
[06:29] {BillyD} you've seen this before
[06:29] {Threei} speaking of which... don't forget to check latest blog entry
[06:29] {Threei} written out of desperation {G}
[06:29] {Threei} can't see this question anymore without getting all like "what... again???"
[06:30] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/11/whats-in-name-or-what-is-tape-reading.html
[06:30] {bruce} daily on cast only goes back 2 weeks on my charts
[06:30] {Threei} yes, it's one of those relatively new chinese arrivals
[06:31] {Threei} traded on diff market before, started on NASDAQ recently
[06:31] {Threei} there were quite a bit of those recently
[06:32] {Threei} we were going to keep an eye on ZIXI
[06:32] {BillyD} yes
[06:35] {Threei} NUAN long, if 19.50 melts down
[06:35] {Threei} let's see where it bottoms out before triggering
[06:35] {Threei} under .35 I lose interest
[06:38] {Threei} lost
[06:40] {Threei} BRCM half lot short .34
[06:40] {bruce} ltd long vaed?
[06:40] {Threei} .36 trigger bruce
[06:40] {dino} sprd
[06:43] {dino} hl l .81
[06:43] {dino} stop .35
[06:44] {Threei} BRCM stop .46
[06:44] {dino} tighten to .47
[06:45] {Threei} .51 is valid too, but I prefer to keep them very tight today
[06:46] {BillyD} take out that bid we be good
[06:46] {Threei} yeah, .25 is defining
[06:47] {dino} avtr
[06:48] {Threei} moment of truth BRCM
[06:48] {BillyD} doing 1/2
[06:51] {Threei} chart wise, stop can be trailed to .41... but it was so tight to begin with, I'll just leave it where it is
[06:51] {Threei} to decrease the chance of shakeout
[06:51] {BillyD} u going for 1:1 on 1/2
[06:52] {Threei} yeah
[06:52] {Threei} was bidding .21, never got it
[06:52] {BillyD} tried .22 w/ no fill
[06:52] {BillyD} same here initially
[06:52] {Threei} that big bid at .20 kept it
[06:52] {BillyD} bumped up
[06:52] {Threei} and marklet bounce
[06:53] {Threei} (as soon as anyone figures out what markLet is, let me know please)
[06:53] {Threei} bounce was quite pathetic on BRCM
[06:53] {BillyD} out some at .23
[06:54] {Threei} got hit for some at .21
[06:54] {Threei} less than half though
[06:54] {Threei} gotta get it nor
[06:54] {Threei} or not
[06:54] {cosmo} ETFC salmon ...beats turkey
[06:54] {BillyD} bid at .20 getting smaller
[06:54] {Threei} yeah, bidder is having second thoughts
[06:55] {Threei} can't blame him really
[06:55] {Threei} LTD is holding like champ bruce
[06:56] {bruce} so far - yes
[06:57] {Threei} stop to .41 this time on BRCM
[06:57] {BillyD} ok
[06:57] {Threei} cosmo, ETFC CNBC'S FABER: COMPANY IN TALKS TO SELL ITSELF
[06:58] {cosmo} don't we all
[06:58] {Threei} yeah but Faber doesn't talk about us
[06:58] {Threei} for some unknown reason
[06:58] {cosmo} its early
[07:00] {BillyD} ss JADE .49
[07:01] {Threei} lol, I always get amazed when this kind is available for shorting
[07:02] {Threei} wow ETFC
[07:02] {Threei} bravo faber
[07:03] {Threei} we are not getting much conrtinuation on the downside
[07:03] {BillyD} no
[07:05] {Roman} long BRLC
[07:05] {Roman} 2.94 slow
[07:07] {bruce} thoughts on gsk as short continuation vad?

[07:20] {BillyD} out BRCM
[07:23] {Threei} NVLS tries 2 days break
[07:23] {Threei} not sure how much we can trust it today
[07:24] {_lumdus} got in, i guess stop .29
[07:24] {Threei} what price did you get on entry?
[07:24] {_lumdus} .33
[07:25] {Threei} not bad for such a tight stop
[07:25] {_lumdus} don't like the action today .. if i get this fine, if not enough watch for me.
[07:25] {Threei} that's the theme of the day
[07:25] {Threei} low volume aumless wandering day
[07:26] {Threei} aimless
[07:26] {BillyD} BRCM just enough to stop Vad
[07:26] {Threei} NVLS looks salmonish
[07:26] {Threei} yeah
[07:27] {BillyD} Vad ? on BRCM setup
[07:27] {bruce} aumless?
[07:28] {Threei} [10:24] {Threei} aimless
[07:28] {BillyD} u didn't put too much thought into shorting it into yesterdays resistance at around .31 area w/ chart showing .20 support
[07:28] {bruce} ah
[07:28] {bruce} hought you meant almless
[07:28] {BillyD} it was a pivotal area from yesterday when I was watching
[07:29] {dino} tsl stopped
[07:29] {Threei} it was just a matter of market help with continuation Billy
[07:29] {_lumdus} nvls keeps consolidating at the top maybe good for another run

[07:31] {Threei} hard pullback ETFC
[07:33] {BillyD} Vad...did you see the reversal on ETFC pb
[07:34] {BillyD} was waiting for another little spike down
[07:34] {Threei} I still don't see it really :)
[07:34] {Threei} low volume bounce
[07:35] {Roman} scalped little ETFC vad, ty
[07:35] {BillyD} I meant the small bounce
[07:35] {Threei} it's a news/speculation driven stock
[07:39] {bruce} any read bont vad?
[07:40] {Threei} not with this volume
[07:40] {bruce} k
[07:40] {bruce} thanx

[08:06] {Threei} apparently {G}
[08:07] {Threei} and here comes proof
[08:08] {BillyD} beauty of the mkt eh
[08:08] {_lumdus} wow that was a quick one, didn't even see it go up
[08:08] {Threei} it spent considerable time avoer .40
[08:09] {Threei} over
[08:11] {bruce} you were right - not much follow through today vad
[08:11] {dino} bidu lod

[08:33] {esemde} well well wel,,,,,
[08:33] {Threei} it got upgraded by someone I've never heard about
[08:34] {bruce} its the market dino - not a lot of big moves today to retrace
[08:34] {esemde} too many analysts out there in my opinion
[08:34] {Threei} if there were 3 of them that would be 3 too many
[08:34] {dino} yeah, should've stayed home.
[08:35] {bruce} analysts are needed
[08:35] {bruce} the market makers use them to manipulate the naive public
[08:37] {esemde} definately....
[08:37] {esemde} or should i say .....indeed
[08:40] {bruce} lol
[08:40] {bruce} and you can add indubitably too ese
[08:41] {esemde} this is classic though.....dump the thing dow 4 bucks or so....institutions fill boots.....upgrade the stock......nahhhhhh...no manipulation in these markets....not at all

[08:44] {bruce} for evry analyst fakeout
[08:44] {bruce} I'd be able to retire
[08:44] {bruce} and to buy my own country
[08:45] {bruce} hmm - its catchy
[08:46] {esemde} this is why Vads method of trading is the only way to go...i got tired of ....(use your own expletive deletive here!!!!)...types of trading. nothing but BS as far as i'm concerned
[08:46] * Threei opens his vocabulary of expletives
[08:47] {esemde} i can provide you with a few if you like?
[08:47] {Threei} happily... I lack in english part of it
[08:47] {Threei} russian is very rich though

[09:12] {esemde} CSIG?...
[09:13] {esemde} THIN VOLUME
[09:16] {Threei} ETFC is trying again
[09:17] {Threei} 5.41 worth a try for scalp with .34 stop

[09:25] {Threei} MLNM interesting
[09:29] {_lumdus} nvls & f starting to work
[09:31] {_lumdus} we close early today ?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:21] {Roman} market closes at 1:00 p.m. EST today?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:22] {BillyD} yes
[09:32] {_lumdus} thank you .. missed
[09:32] {_lumdus} 3i, you think EOD rally comming ?
[09:33] {Threei} equal chance for a drop
[09:34] {Threei} anyone's guess on a low volume holiday day
[09:34] {_lumdus} ok, i make close stop on nvls .67
[09:44] {_lumdus} stop on nvls .74 now
[09:46] {esemde} man...what was that upgrade on CSIQ....
[09:46] {Threei} I doubt it's an effect of that upgrade
[09:47] {esemde} NQ?
[09:47] {Threei} today is hard to use as an indicator, volume is too low
[09:47] {_lumdus} ok,
[09:47] {Threei} overall, CSIQ hit sweet spot for bounce, and as we discussed earlier, it's far from being done most likely
[09:48] {Threei} what I like about today's move on it though
[09:48] {Threei} it was sustainable slow steady move
[09:48] {Threei} no hysterical scream
[09:48] {esemde} so you figure more upward potential
[09:49] {Threei} sooner or later, yes... just hard to tell if it found the support yet
[09:49] {Threei} were today normal trading day I would say confidently yes
[09:49] {_lumdus} out nvls .85 nice weekedn all

[05:29] {Threei} FORMER FED CHAIR GREENSPAN SAYS POLICY MAKERS MAY NEED TO ADDRESS THE WEAK USD
[05:29] {Threei} - If not for flexibility in the US economy the chances of a recession would be above 50%
[05:29] {Threei} muzzzle... urgent
[05:29] {BillyD} it picks up where we left off
[05:29] {BillyD} good morning
[05:30] {Threei} there should be continuation, shouldn't it
[05:30] {Threei} hi :)
[05:30] {Threei} ummm... continuity
[05:31] {Threei} (CA) FIN MIN FLAHERTY: PLEASED TO SEE C$ AT MORE 'REASONABLE' RANGE
[05:31] {Threei} yeah me too
[05:31] {Threei} akthough I consider $1.50 more reasonable than parity {G}
[05:34] {cosmo} ETFC 4.50 - 4.60 range ...so far
[05:34] {BillyD} "They came to hit tonight," Carpenter said. "I think tonight, we were overmatched."
[05:34] {BillyD} this is the statement from ASU's quarterback after getting beat up last night and an almost concussion
[05:35] {Threei} at first it sounded more like quote from Alice in Wonderland
[05:35] {BillyD} lol
[05:37] {cosmo} it was a mad trukey bowl
[05:37] {BillyD} mad or bad
[05:37] {cosmo} hmm
[05:37] {cosmo} thinking
[05:38] {Threei} oh no
[05:39] {cosmo} it was bad that Barkley left so soon...
[05:39] {Threei} I am having headaches even from simple reading word "thinking"
[05:41] {cosmo} I like the fact that both coaches are good thinkers tho
[05:41] {BillyD} i could Marcus Allen on field but Barkley...
[05:42] {BillyD} USC players were just bigger, stronger and tougher
[05:42] {cosmo} they'd make terrible traders tho
[05:42] {BillyD} couldn't believe
[05:45] {cosmo} they(ASU) might have been caught thinking ahead to UofA
[05:45] {cosmo} hehe ...sorry
[06:09] {dptl} good morning all
[06:10] {BillyD} morning Dp
[06:10] {Threei} dp :)
[06:11] {BillyD} let's see if CPSL gets folllow thru
[06:12] {cosmo} TIBX up-graded fwiw
[06:14] {dptl} so its short day today?
[06:14] {Threei} yes
[06:14] {dptl} ty
[06:15] {Threei} not counting on much... if we get couple safe scalps I'll be satisfied
[06:15] {Threei} a lot of players don't bother today, just take one loong weekend
[06:15] {Threei} the only reason market is open at all is 3 days rule
[06:17] {dino} gm all
[06:17] {BillyD} dino :)
[06:17] {Threei} dino :)
[06:17] {bruce} hello dino
[06:18] {dino} :)
[06:18] {esemde} morning .....
[06:19] {Threei} ese :)
[06:20] {bruce} hi ese
[06:21] {esemde} hi vad bruce.....what is the 3 day rule
[06:21] {Threei} investors must not be left with no access to their money for more than 3 days in a row
[06:21] {esemde} hmmmm i didn't know that....
[06:22] {Threei} so when there is a holiday around the weekend, on Tuesday or on Thursday, instead of having 4 days of holiday they insert half day trading on Mon or Fri
[06:22] {BillyD} didn't realize that included weekends
[06:22] {Threei} this is the only reason we have these half day markets
[06:23] {bruce} is today 1/2 only?
[06:23] {Threei} yes
[06:23] {BillyD} wow....you are full of facts
[06:23] {BillyD} 1pm ET Bruce
[06:23] {bruce} good to know
[06:23] {Threei} problem is billy... they are random and unsorted
[06:23] {bruce} hate to be stuck in trade on close
[06:24] {Threei} so unless you get lucky and ask me right question, I am useless :)
[06:24] {BillyD} I look for patterns Vad
[06:25] {cosmo} ETFC possible double botto..on the daily
[06:25] {Threei} if I adjust to today's market I'll have none {G}
[06:25] {cosmo} bottom
[06:25] {Threei} interested to see if CAST uses this low volume day to jump through resistance
[06:26] {Threei} overall, CAST so far is a classic case of early accumulation stage
[06:26] {BillyD} w/ the buying u would think CAST alreay pop
[06:26] {Threei} not necessary
[06:26] {Threei} early accumulation is a stage where "they" are trying to collect as many shares as possible without attracting attention
[06:27] {BillyD} yes
[06:27] {BillyD} longer the better eh
[06:27] {Threei} so as soon as movement becomes too obvious, price or volume or both wise
[06:27] {Threei} "they" retreat, drop bids, stop buying
[06:27] {Threei} and could even put out offers
[06:27] {Threei} to get the stock off the radars again,
[06:28] {Threei} until "they" are about done accumulating.
[06:28] {Threei} Then the movement will be allowed to become conspicous
[06:28] {Threei} to attract the crowds and provide momentum
[06:29] {BillyD} makes sense
[06:29] {Threei} basics of tape reading...
[06:29] {BillyD} you've seen this before
[06:29] {Threei} speaking of which... don't forget to check latest blog entry
[06:29] {Threei} written out of desperation {G}
[06:29] {Threei} can't see this question anymore without getting all like "what... again???"
[06:30] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/11/whats-in-name-or-what-is-tape-reading.html
[06:30] {bruce} daily on cast only goes back 2 weeks on my charts
[06:30] {Threei} yes, it's one of those relatively new chinese arrivals
[06:31] {Threei} traded on diff market before, started on NASDAQ recently
[06:31] {Threei} there were quite a bit of those recently
[06:32] {Threei} we were going to keep an eye on ZIXI
[06:32] {BillyD} yes
[06:35] {Threei} NUAN long, if 19.50 melts down
[06:35] {Threei} let's see where it bottoms out before triggering
[06:35] {Threei} under .35 I lose interest
[06:38] {Threei} lost
[06:40] {Threei} BRCM half lot short .34
[06:40] {bruce} ltd long vaed?
[06:40] {Threei} .36 trigger bruce
[06:40] {dino} sprd
[06:43] {dino} hl l .81
[06:43] {dino} stop .35
[06:44] {Threei} BRCM stop .46
[06:44] {dino} tighten to .47
[06:45] {Threei} .51 is valid too, but I prefer to keep them very tight today
[06:46] {BillyD} take out that bid we be good
[06:46] {Threei} yeah, .25 is defining
[06:47] {dino} avtr
[06:48] {Threei} moment of truth BRCM
[06:48] {BillyD} doing 1/2
[06:51] {Threei} chart wise, stop can be trailed to .41... but it was so tight to begin with, I'll just leave it where it is
[06:51] {Threei} to decrease the chance of shakeout
[06:51] {BillyD} u going for 1:1 on 1/2
[06:52] {Threei} yeah
[06:52] {Threei} was bidding .21, never got it
[06:52] {BillyD} tried .22 w/ no fill
[06:52] {BillyD} same here initially
[06:52] {Threei} that big bid at .20 kept it
[06:52] {BillyD} bumped up
[06:52] {Threei} and marklet bounce
[06:53] {Threei} (as soon as anyone figures out what markLet is, let me know please)
[06:53] {Threei} bounce was quite pathetic on BRCM
[06:53] {BillyD} out some at .23
[06:54] {Threei} got hit for some at .21
[06:54] {Threei} less than half though
[06:54] {Threei} gotta get it nor
[06:54] {Threei} or not
[06:54] {cosmo} ETFC salmon ...beats turkey
[06:54] {BillyD} bid at .20 getting smaller
[06:54] {Threei} yeah, bidder is having second thoughts
[06:55] {Threei} can't blame him really
[06:55] {Threei} LTD is holding like champ bruce
[06:56] {bruce} so far - yes
[06:57] {Threei} stop to .41 this time on BRCM
[06:57] {BillyD} ok
[06:57] {Threei} cosmo, ETFC CNBC'S FABER: COMPANY IN TALKS TO SELL ITSELF
[06:58] {cosmo} don't we all
[06:58] {Threei} yeah but Faber doesn't talk about us
[06:58] {Threei} for some unknown reason
[06:58] {cosmo} its early
[07:00] {BillyD} ss JADE .49
[07:01] {Threei} lol, I always get amazed when this kind is available for shorting
[07:02] {Threei} wow ETFC
[07:02] {Threei} bravo faber
[07:03] {Threei} we are not getting much conrtinuation on the downside
[07:03] {BillyD} no
[07:05] {Roman} long BRLC
[07:05] {Roman} 2.94 slow
[07:07] {bruce} thoughts on gsk as short continuation vad?

[07:23] {Threei} NVLS tries 2 days break
[07:23] {Threei} not sure how much we can trust it today
[07:24] {_lumdus} got in, i guess stop .29
[07:24] {Threei} what price did you get on entry?
[07:24] {_lumdus} .33
[07:25] {Threei} not bad for such a tight stop
[07:25] {_lumdus} don't like the action today .. if i get this fine, if not enough watch for me.
[07:25] {Threei} that's the theme of the day
[07:25] {Threei} low volume aumless wandering day
[07:26] {Threei} aimless
[07:26] {BillyD} BRCM just enough to stop Vad
[07:26] {Threei} NVLS looks salmonish
[07:26] {Threei} yeah
[07:27] {BillyD} Vad ? on BRCM setup
[07:27] {bruce} aumless?
[07:28] {Threei} [10:24] {Threei} aimless
[07:28] {BillyD} u didn't put too much thought into shorting it into yesterdays resistance at around .31 area w/ chart showing .20 support
[07:28] {bruce} ah
[07:28] {bruce} hought you meant almless
[07:28] {BillyD} it was a pivotal area from yesterday when I was watching
[07:29] {dino} tsl stopped
[07:29] {Threei} it was just a matter of market help with continuation Billy
[07:29] {_lumdus} nvls keeps consolidating at the top maybe good for another run

[07:31] {Threei} hard pullback ETFC
[07:33] {BillyD} Vad...did you see the reversal on ETFC pb
[07:34] {BillyD} was waiting for another little spike down
[07:34] {Threei} I still don't see it really :)
[07:34] {Threei} low volume bounce
[07:35] {Roman} scalped little ETFC vad, ty
[07:35] {BillyD} I meant the small bounce
[07:35] {Threei} it's a news/speculation driven stock

[07:40] {Threei} not with this volume
[07:40] {bruce} k
[07:40] {bruce} thanx

[08:07] {Threei} and here comes proof
[08:08] {BillyD} beauty of the mkt eh
[08:08] {_lumdus} wow that was a quick one, didn't even see it go up
[08:08] {Threei} it spent considerable time avoer .40
[08:09] {Threei} over
[08:11] {bruce} you were right - not much follow through today vad
[08:11] {dino} bidu lod

[08:33] {Threei} it got upgraded by someone I've never heard about
[08:34] {bruce} its the market dino - not a lot of big moves today to retrace
[08:34] {esemde} too many analysts out there in my opinion
[08:34] {Threei} if there were 3 of them that would be 3 too many
[08:34] {dino} yeah, should've stayed home.
[08:35] {bruce} analysts are needed
[08:35] {bruce} the market makers use them to manipulate the naive public
[08:37] {esemde} definately....
[08:37] {esemde} or should i say .....indeed
[08:40] {bruce} lol
[08:40] {bruce} and you can add indubitably too ese
[08:41] {esemde} this is classic though.....dump the thing dow 4 bucks or so....institutions fill boots.....upgrade the stock......nahhhhhh...no manipulation in these markets....not at all

[08:44] {bruce} for evry analyst fakeout
[08:44] {bruce} I'd be able to retire
[08:44] {bruce} and to buy my own country
[08:45] {bruce} hmm - its catchy
[08:46] {esemde} this is why Vads method of trading is the only way to go...i got tired of ....(use your own expletive deletive here!!!!)...types of trading. nothing but BS as far as i'm concerned
[08:46] * Threei opens his vocabulary of expletives
[08:47] {esemde} i can provide you with a few if you like?
[08:47] {Threei} happily... I lack in english part of it
[08:47] {Threei} russian is very rich though

[09:13] {esemde} THIN VOLUME
[09:16] {Threei} ETFC is trying again

[09:25] {Threei} MLNM interesting
[09:29] {_lumdus} nvls & f starting to work
[09:31] {_lumdus} we close early today ?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:21] {Roman} market closes at 1:00 p.m. EST today?
[09:32] {Threei} [12:22] {BillyD} yes
[09:32] {_lumdus} thank you .. missed
[09:32] {_lumdus} 3i, you think EOD rally comming ?
[09:33] {Threei} equal chance for a drop
[09:34] {Threei} anyone's guess on a low volume holiday day
[09:34] {_lumdus} ok, i make close stop on nvls .67
[09:44] {_lumdus} stop on nvls .74 now
[09:46] {esemde} man...what was that upgrade on CSIQ....
[09:46] {Threei} I doubt it's an effect of that upgrade
[09:47] {esemde} NQ?
[09:47] {Threei} today is hard to use as an indicator, volume is too low
[09:47] {_lumdus} ok,
[09:47] {Threei} overall, CSIQ hit sweet spot for bounce, and as we discussed earlier, it's far from being done most likely
[09:48] {Threei} what I like about today's move on it though
[09:48] {Threei} it was sustainable slow steady move
[09:48] {Threei} no hysterical scream
[09:48] {esemde} so you figure more upward potential
[09:49] {Threei} sooner or later, yes... just hard to tell if it found the support yet
[09:49] {Threei} were today normal trading day I would say confidently yes
[09:49] {_lumdus} out nvls .85 nice weekedn all

[08:10] {Threei} but I know what you mean
[08:10] {Threei} I recieve e-mails saying things like
[08:10] {Threei} it reads very differently with time and experience
[08:11] {Threei} getting deeper levels, more meaning
[08:11] {BillyD} yes
[08:11] {Threei} I take it as a great compliment, means book is really well written
[08:11] {Threei} not "flat"
[08:11] {BillyD} example...a trader must always be in continous learning and development
[08:12] {BillyD} whem we stop learning we close down the growth and capacity of our minds
[08:12] {BillyD} which can somewhat send us backwards by default
[08:12] {Threei} PREVIEW: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS DATA DUE OUT AT 8:30AM ET
[08:12] {Threei} - Continuing Claims seen at 2.575M v prior 2.568M
[08:13] {Threei} or we simply fall behind
[08:13] {BillyD} yes
[08:13] {Threei} things change in markets,
[08:13] {Threei} not in fundamental way, but in tactical way
[08:13] {Threei} gotta roll with punches
[08:14] {Threei} mania in particular sector comes, you deploy different style of trading
[08:14] {BillyD} I think that is what takes the edge of tightness off
[08:14] {BillyD} flexible
[08:14] {Threei} right
[08:14] {Threei} mania ends, you go back to "regular" trading
[08:15] {Threei} when chinese stocks mania hit a while ago, my daily takeout increased by factor 3
[08:15] {BillyD} there is a difference between being disciplined in execution of trades and flexible in trading different mkts
[08:15] {Threei} would be a shame not to use such opportunity
[08:18] {BillyD} a key is finding your own edge or style of trading...setups you see that generate impulse to enter trade
[08:19] {Threei} bringing structure to chaos
[08:21] {BillyD} u don't have turkey day tomorrow right
[08:22] {Threei} no, ours happened at the end of Oct
[08:25] {Threei} what day(s) is market closed?
[08:25] {BillyD} tomorrow and half day friday
[08:25] {Threei} good thing I asked
[08:25] {BillyD} 1 pm ET on friday
[08:26] {BillyD} yes......
[08:26] {BillyD} do you know if your CPU is dual core or not
[08:26] {Threei} this holiday always gets me because of difference between Canada and US versions
[08:27] {Threei} how do I find that out? :)
[08:27] {BillyD} not sure
[08:27] {BillyD} age of your pc
[08:27] {BillyD} ?
[08:28] {Threei} year and half
[08:28] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} it's customary built so I don't have any manufacturer manuals
[08:29] {BillyD} maybe if it says "AMD 64 X2" what I can tell from Google
[08:29] {Threei} no x2
[08:29] {Threei} says 3200+
[08:29] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} whatever that means
[08:30] {Threei} it's 64 bit processor
[08:30] {BillyD} but AMD is faster than the single core Intel.....
[08:30] {Threei} *(CA) SEPT RETAIL SALES M/M: -0.2% V 0.0%E; LESS AUTO M/M: 0.1% V 0.3%E
[08:31] {Threei} maybe our loonie finally gives up
[08:31] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 330K V 330KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 2.566M V 2.575ME
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims Revised from 2.568M to 2.559M
[08:31] {Threei} yup, USD just shot up vs CAD... here is to hope
[08:32] {BillyD} the US debt gonna kill us globally
[08:32] {Threei} well, funny thing is so far it kills everyone else
[08:33] {Threei} it's like troubles are getting artfully exported
[08:33] {BillyD} kind of like cooking books
[08:33] {BillyD} sweeping under carpet
[08:33] {Threei} no, not really
[08:33] {Threei} everyone sees troubles
[08:34] {Threei} but heavy involvement of various world banks in subprime causes problems well outside of US borders,,
[08:35] {Threei} weakening dollar hits other countries first,
[08:35] {Threei} you will feel its impact later, when WalMart prices shoot up
[08:36] {BillyD} I see what u mean
[08:36] {BillyD} US can withstand losses a bit better
[08:37] {BillyD} they just print more bandaid money
[08:37] {Threei} whole world hopes so
[08:37] {Threei} well, except Chaves
[08:37] {Threei} :)
[08:37] {BillyD} yeah.....
[08:37] {Threei} well, printing banaid money gotta stop...
[08:37] {BillyD} printing more money just effects eventual debt problem
[08:38] {Threei} but for that someone would have to re-evaluate alan greenspan's legacy
[08:38] {BillyD} I saw him on TV prgram
[08:38] {Threei} and whole concept of monthly regulated interest rate
[08:39] {BillyD} and he said they were trying to raise interest rates but were too slow and was main reason we are in Real Estate fiasco
[08:39] {Threei} lol
[08:39] {BillyD} they made it too easy......a dash of greed and you know the rest
[08:39] {BillyD} greed from system players to the retail
[08:40] {Threei} everything is so clear in hindsight
[08:40] {Threei} but at the moment, they had a lot of pressing concerns making them lower rates
[08:40] {BillyD} greed is emotion....clouds judgement
[08:40] {Threei} and those concerns were very different
[08:41] {BillyD} yes with later effects
[08:41] {Threei} it's not that RE bubble bursted they see how they constructed it
[08:41] {Threei} not = now
[08:41] {Threei} back then they were saying great, rising re prices save our economy at the moment
[08:42] {BillyD} funny...all the things we learn in trading with emotions/discipline
[08:42] {Threei} cure vs illness anyone?
[08:42] {BillyD} is totally applicable to life
[08:42] {Threei} absolutely
[08:42] {BillyD} in trading....they are right in front of you...less forging or rewarding immediately
[08:42] {Threei} isn't it widelt acknowledged fact that rate change takes about 18 months to work its way through economy?
[08:42] {BillyD} in life provides life to denila
[08:43] {BillyD} denial
[08:43] {BillyD} yeaH...AND THEY HOPEW THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT WILL SUFFICE UNTIL WE GET THERE
[08:43] {BillyD} sorry
[08:43] {Threei} so how regulating them on monthly basis makes sense?
[08:44] {Threei} and how 11 hikes in a row, then 13 cuts in a row make sense?
[08:44] {BillyD} actually adds to nuerotcism
[08:44] {BillyD} too much volatility
[08:45] {BillyD} think about the childishness
[08:45] {Threei} they just added another factor in markets equation
[08:45] {BillyD} mkt gets rate cut.....immediately it iws ok when is our next one
[08:45] {BillyD} true another variable
[08:45] {Threei} no slightest evidence that since fed started regulating interest rate inflation is under more control or crises are less frequent
[08:46] {Threei} unpegging from gold standard is whole separate story
[08:46] {Threei} mad money printing/exporting
[08:47] {Threei} some business books have this analogy:
[08:47] {BillyD} well...it really comes down to the whole masses taking more responsibility for their lives, accountability, discipline, living within means, etc
[08:47] {Threei} you are trying to get the right water temperature in the shower with single handle
[08:47] {BillyD} lol
[08:47] {Threei} open it, it's scolding hot,
[08:48] {Threei} your first reaction is to turn it quickly to the opposite
[08:48] {Threei} water turns cold
[08:48] {Threei} you start controlling your movements
[08:48] {Threei} trying to get right temperature in the fork.
[08:48] {Threei} Eventually you succedd of course,
[08:48] {Threei} and it take certain time.
[08:49] {BillyD} a few burns here and there
[08:49] {Threei} So, this time is way longer
[08:49] {Threei} and effort is much greater
[08:49] {Threei} than it would be were you slowly moving the handle to the colder part of the range.
[08:49] {BillyD} isn't a system that feeds human weakness
[08:50] {Threei} it happenbs because of the delayed feedback
[08:50] {Threei} since temperature isn't changing immediately after your move,
[08:50] {Threei} you tend to overshoot target.
[08:51] {Threei} when you overshoot targets on each side and try to narrow the range of your movement, it's less optimal then slowly moving to the teraget and waiting for feedback to make its way through the system.
[08:51] {BillyD} the need for instant gratification
[08:51] {Threei} See analogy with 11 hikes, 13 cuts?
[08:52] {BillyD} yes
[08:52] {BillyD} back to same spot with big mess
[08:52] {Threei} yup
[08:52] {Threei} burned skin on one spots, frozen in otyhers
[08:53] {BillyD} man's need to always feel in control....reason to constantly monitor and change every month
[08:53] {BillyD} lol
[08:53] {Threei} read one bubble bursts, another is created
[08:53] {BillyD} what is next mania then?
[08:53] {cosmo} solar
[08:53] {Threei} I am buying all daffoldils I can get my hands on
[08:53] {BillyD} Global Warming
[08:54] {BillyD} just as Al Gore invented internet...GW next
[08:54] {Threei} tulips is too well known, daffodills is next best thing with different name
[08:55] {Threei} when each bulb of my King Alfred is sold for %199.99 you all will stop laughing
[08:57] {cosmo} once it costs only 30c per watt to make solar cells, we rock. Oil stays under ground, where it belongs
[08:58] {cosmo} ... and the economic displacement could be freightening... but, no matter...
[08:58] {BillyD} agree cosmo
[08:59] {BillyD} Realoity Trader saves the world with new policy abroad
[08:59] {cosmo} its an elephant in the room policy

[11:35] {BillyD} good enough for me
[11:39] {dino} 3i answering himself i see
[11:39] {Threei} it comes with certain age dino
[11:40] {Threei} since noone wants to talk to you anymore, you start finding consolation in impersonating your counterparts and having quite meaningful conversation
[11:42] {dino} unfortunately, i relate
[11:42] {BillyD} you both are a cure for one another
[11:42] {Threei} lol

Session Time: Wed Nov 21 00:00:00 2007
[08:03] {Threei} CPSL REPORTS Q1 $0.08; R$25.3M V $10.5M Y/Y- China Precision Steel's new cold-rolled mill with 150,000 metric tons of design capacity is operating at 40% utilization. It is expected to reach 50% utilization by the end of calendar year 2007. The Company has plans to commence the construction of a third mill with 150,000 metric tons of capacity in the first quarter of 2008.
[08:06] {BillyD} morning Vad
[08:07] {Threei} morning :)
[08:09] {BillyD} enjoying your TTR again
[08:10] {BillyD} has much deeper meaning this time
[08:10] {Threei} you really are pushing me into reading it...
[08:10] {BillyD} lol
[08:10] {Threei} but I know what you mean
[08:10] {Threei} I recieve e-mails saying things like
[08:10] {Threei} it reads very differently with time and experience
[08:11] {Threei} getting deeper levels, more meaning
[08:11] {BillyD} yes
[08:11] {Threei} I take it as a great compliment, means book is really well written
[08:11] {Threei} not "flat"
[08:11] {BillyD} example...a trader must always be in continous learning and development
[08:12] {BillyD} whem we stop learning we close down the growth and capacity of our minds
[08:12] {BillyD} which can somewhat send us backwards by default
[08:12] {Threei} PREVIEW: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS DATA DUE OUT AT 8:30AM ET
[08:12] {Threei} - Continuing Claims seen at 2.575M v prior 2.568M
[08:13] {Threei} or we simply fall behind
[08:13] {BillyD} yes
[08:13] {Threei} things change in markets,
[08:13] {Threei} not in fundamental way, but in tactical way
[08:13] {Threei} gotta roll with punches
[08:14] {Threei} mania in particular sector comes, you deploy different style of trading
[08:14] {BillyD} I think that is what takes the edge of tightness off
[08:14] {BillyD} flexible
[08:14] {Threei} right
[08:14] {Threei} mania ends, you go back to "regular" trading
[08:15] {Threei} when chinese stocks mania hit a while ago, my daily takeout increased by factor 3
[08:15] {BillyD} there is a difference between being disciplined in execution of trades and flexible in trading different mkts
[08:15] {Threei} would be a shame not to use such opportunity
[08:18] {BillyD} a key is finding your own edge or style of trading...setups you see that generate impulse to enter trade
[08:19] {Threei} bringing structure to chaos
[08:21] {BillyD} u don't have turkey day tomorrow right
[08:22] {Threei} no, ours happened at the end of Oct
[08:25] {Threei} what day(s) is market closed?
[08:25] {BillyD} tomorrow and half day friday
[08:25] {Threei} good thing I asked
[08:25] {BillyD} 1 pm ET on friday
[08:26] {BillyD} yes......
[08:26] {BillyD} do you know if your CPU is dual core or not
[08:26] {Threei} this holiday always gets me because of difference between Canada and US versions
[08:27] {Threei} how do I find that out? :)
[08:27] {BillyD} not sure
[08:27] {BillyD} age of your pc
[08:27] {BillyD} ?
[08:28] {Threei} year and half
[08:28] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} it's customary built so I don't have any manufacturer manuals
[08:29] {BillyD} maybe if it says "AMD 64 X2" what I can tell from Google
[08:29] {Threei} no x2
[08:29] {Threei} says 3200+
[08:29] {BillyD} ok
[08:29] {Threei} whatever that means
[08:30] {Threei} it's 64 bit processor
[08:30] {BillyD} but AMD is faster than the single core Intel.....
[08:30] {Threei} *(CA) SEPT RETAIL SALES M/M: -0.2% V 0.0%E; LESS AUTO M/M: 0.1% V 0.3%E
[08:31] {Threei} maybe our loonie finally gives up
[08:31] {Threei} *INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 330K V 330KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 2.566M V 2.575ME
[08:31] {Threei} - Prior Continuing Claims Revised from 2.568M to 2.559M
[08:31] {Threei} yup, USD just shot up vs CAD... here is to hope
[08:32] {BillyD} the US debt gonna kill us globally
[08:32] {Threei} well, funny thing is so far it kills everyone else
[08:33] {Threei} it's like troubles are getting artfully exported
[08:33] {BillyD} kind of like cooking books
[08:33] {BillyD} sweeping under carpet
[08:33] {Threei} no, not really
[08:33] {Threei} everyone sees troubles
[08:34] {Threei} but heavy involvement of various world banks in subprime causes problems well outside of US borders,,
[08:35] {Threei} weakening dollar hits other countries first,
[08:35] {Threei} you will feel its impact later, when WalMart prices shoot up
[08:36] {BillyD} I see what u mean
[08:36] {BillyD} US can withstand losses a bit better
[08:37] {BillyD} they just print more bandaid money
[08:37] {Threei} whole world hopes so
[08:37] {Threei} well, except Chaves
[08:37] {Threei} :)
[08:37] {BillyD} yeah.....
[08:37] {Threei} well, printing banaid money gotta stop...
[08:37] {BillyD} printing more money just effects eventual debt problem
[08:38] {Threei} but for that someone would have to re-evaluate alan greenspan's legacy
[08:38] {BillyD} I saw him on TV prgram
[08:38] {Threei} and whole concept of monthly regulated interest rate
[08:39] {BillyD} and he said they were trying to raise interest rates but were too slow and was main reason we are in Real Estate fiasco
[08:39] {Threei} lol
[08:39] {BillyD} they made it too easy......a dash of greed and you know the rest
[08:39] {BillyD} greed from system players to the retail
[08:40] {Threei} everything is so clear in hindsight
[08:40] {Threei} but at the moment, they had a lot of pressing concerns making them lower rates
[08:40] {BillyD} greed is emotion....clouds judgement
[08:40] {Threei} and those concerns were very different
[08:41] {BillyD} yes with later effects
[08:41] {Threei} it's not that RE bubble bursted they see how they constructed it
[08:41] {Threei} not = now
[08:41] {Threei} back then they were saying great, rising re prices save our economy at the moment
[08:42] {BillyD} funny...all the things we learn in trading with emotions/discipline
[08:42] {Threei} cure vs illness anyone?
[08:42] {BillyD} is totally applicable to life
[08:42] {Threei} absolutely
[08:42] {BillyD} in trading....they are right in front of you...less forging or rewarding immediately
[08:42] {Threei} isn't it widelt acknowledged fact that rate change takes about 18 months to work its way through economy?
[08:42] {BillyD} in life provides life to denila
[08:43] {BillyD} denial
[08:43] {BillyD} yeaH...AND THEY HOPEW THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT WILL SUFFICE UNTIL WE GET THERE
[08:43] {BillyD} sorry
[08:43] {Threei} so how regulating them on monthly basis makes sense?
[08:44] {Threei} and how 11 hikes in a row, then 13 cuts in a row make sense?
[08:44] {BillyD} actually adds to nuerotcism
[08:44] {BillyD} too much volatility
[08:45] {BillyD} think about the childishness
[08:45] {Threei} they just added another factor in markets equation
[08:45] {BillyD} mkt gets rate cut.....immediately it iws ok when is our next one
[08:45] {BillyD} true another variable
[08:45] {Threei} no slightest evidence that since fed started regulating interest rate inflation is under more control or crises are less frequent
[08:46] {Threei} unpegging from gold standard is whole separate story
[08:46] {Threei} mad money printing/exporting
[08:47] {Threei} some business books have this analogy:
[08:47] {BillyD} well...it really comes down to the whole masses taking more responsibility for their lives, accountability, discipline, living within means, etc
[08:47] {Threei} you are trying to get the right water temperature in the shower with single handle
[08:47] {BillyD} lol
[08:47] {Threei} open it, it's scolding hot,
[08:48] {Threei} your first reaction is to turn it quickly to the opposite
[08:48] {Threei} water turns cold
[08:48] {Threei} you start controlling your movements
[08:48] {Threei} trying to get right temperature in the fork.
[08:48] {Threei} Eventually you succedd of course,
[08:48] {Threei} and it take certain time.
[08:49] {BillyD} a few burns here and there
[08:49] {Threei} So, this time is way longer
[08:49] {Threei} and effort is much greater
[08:49] {Threei} than it would be were you slowly moving the handle to the colder part of the range.
[08:49] {BillyD} isn't a system that feeds human weakness
[08:50] {Threei} it happenbs because of the delayed feedback
[08:50] {Threei} since temperature isn't changing immediately after your move,
[08:50] {Threei} you tend to overshoot target.
[08:51] {Threei} when you overshoot targets on each side and try to narrow the range of your movement, it's less optimal then slowly moving to the teraget and waiting for feedback to make its way through the system.
[08:51] {BillyD} the need for instant gratification
[08:51] {Threei} See analogy with 11 hikes, 13 cuts?
[08:52] {BillyD} yes
[08:52] {BillyD} back to same spot with big mess
[08:52] {Threei} yup
[08:52] {Threei} burned skin on one spots, frozen in otyhers
[08:53] {BillyD} man's need to always feel in control....reason to constantly monitor and change every month
[08:53] {BillyD} lol
[08:53] {Threei} read one bubble bursts, another is created
[08:53] {BillyD} what is next mania then?
[08:53] {cosmo} solar
[08:53] {Threei} I am buying all daffoldils I can get my hands on
[08:53] {BillyD} Global Warming
[08:54] {BillyD} just as Al Gore invented internet...GW next
[08:54] {Threei} tulips is too well known, daffodills is next best thing with different name
[08:55] {Threei} when each bulb of my King Alfred is sold for %199.99 you all will stop laughing
[08:57] {cosmo} once it costs only 30c per watt to make solar cells, we rock. Oil stays under ground, where it belongs
[08:58] {cosmo} ... and the economic displacement could be freightening... but, no matter...
[08:58] {BillyD} agree cosmo
[08:59] {BillyD} Realoity Trader saves the world with new policy abroad
[08:59] {cosmo} its an elephant in the room policy

[10:05] {Roman} ese, i covered both side, in case market goes up BUY if goes down SELL, i am right either way
[10:06] {esemde} just pulling your leg a little.......
[10:06] {Threei} he suggests that it takes a crazy to understand one, ese :)
[10:06] {Raven} sigh ... another "analyst" :)
[10:06] {BillyD} anyone reading ETFC
[10:06] {dino} buy when down, sell when up....and be out by end of day
[10:07] {dino} imo of course
[10:07] {Threei} BRCM
[10:07] {Threei} want to short it
[10:07] {Threei} maybe bounce
[10:07] {Threei} hate to chase here
[10:08] {Threei} and market is so jerky, I would like to wait a bit
[10:08] {esemde} i'm watching ETFC Billy...

[10:19] {dino} sometimes less is more ese
[10:20] {Threei} I'd prefer a bounce entry but there wasn't much of a bounce
[10:20] {esemde} If CSIQ makes it above 14.50 with any level of conviction it should go along way.....but then it's question of finding a proper entry point

[11:35] {BillyD} good enough for me
[11:39] {dino} 3i answering himself i see
[11:39] {Threei} it comes with certain age dino
[11:40] {Threei} since noone wants to talk to you anymore, you start finding consolation in impersonating your counterparts and having quite meaningful conversation
[11:42] {dino} unfortunately, i relate
[11:42] {BillyD} you both are a cure for one another
[11:42] {Threei} lol

[05:15] {BillyD} morning Vad
[05:15] {Threei} Billy :)
[05:16] {Threei} I assume we are getting old? waking up way too early...
[05:16] {Threei} falling asleep in front of TV in the evening...
[05:16] {BillyD} lol
[05:17] {Threei} disapproving today's youth...
[05:17] {BillyD} actually hit the snooze 4 times this morning
[05:17] {BillyD} sleeping in
[05:17] {Threei} picking softer cheeses...
[05:18] {Threei} on other hand... added more weights to my barbell yesterday... hmmm... state of confusion
[05:19] {Threei} where is cosmo, he usually helps me out of this state
[05:19] {Threei} mostly by demonstrating that my confusion is nothing

[05:29] {BillyD} read some TTR yesterday
[05:29] {Threei} desire to make it work by minor tweaks
[05:30] {Threei} not by major rewamping
[05:30] {BillyD} focus on stock movement to keep map in alignment w/ territory is key
[05:30] {Threei} unwillingness to admit chosen direction is fundamentally wrong
[05:30] {Threei} ah TTR... I really need to read that
[05:31] {Threei} people keep saying I should

[10:56] {Threei} PREVIEW: MINUTES OF THE OCT 31 FOMC MEETING DUE OUT AT 2PMET
[10:56] {Threei} - Financial markets strains have eased somewhat; inflation and growth risks are now balanced
[10:56] {Threei} - Housing likely to slow pace of economic expansion, sees intensification of housing downturn
[10:56] {Threei} - Will act as need to foster price stability and growth
[10:56] {Threei} - Says recent increases in energy, commodity prices could
[10:56] {Threei} PREVIEW: FOMC QUARTERLY ECONOMIC FORECAST - The Fed will commence steps to increase the transparency of their economic outlook when they release the first of their quarterly forecasts with the Oct 31st minutes. The new forecast will cover an extended horizon of 3-years, inflation forecasts for both core and headline PCE, real GDP, and unemployment rates. Particular focus will likely be paid to the initial forecast for headline PCE, as it im
[10:57] {Threei} stabilizing the overall inflation rate not just the core. The 2007 headline PCE projection is likely to exceed 3%, which would be the third increase of more than 3% in the past four years. However it is very possible the Fed's central forecast will assume softer food and energy prices in 2008 and 2009 due to current futures prices.
[10:57] {Threei} This could lead to projections of the overall PCE rate below the core rate in both years before returning to neutral in 2010. The 2008 core PCE projection could provide a more discouraging look. There is a risk, however, that FOMC members will fear that exchange rate and energy cost issues will result in some backsliding on the core PCE price index in 2008. If the central tendency is on the high side of 2.0% for 2008, a rate cut would face
[10:58] {Threei} - Market participants will be left to ask. Do the new projections and increased discussions surrounding the data put a dent in the widening gap between market expectations and Fed forecasts. Jan Fed Fund Futures still project better than an 85% chance of another rate cut to 4.25% at the December meeting.
[10:58] {Threei} anyone needed this bunch of nonsense?

[10:56] {Threei} PREVIEW: MINUTES OF THE OCT 31 FOMC MEETING DUE OUT AT 2PMET
[10:56] {Threei} - Financial markets strains have eased somewhat; inflation and growth risks are now balanced
[10:56] {Threei} - Housing likely to slow pace of economic expansion, sees intensification of housing downturn
[10:56] {Threei} - Will act as need to foster price stability and growth
[10:56] {Threei} - Says recent increases in energy, commodity prices could
[10:56] {Threei} PREVIEW: FOMC QUARTERLY ECONOMIC FORECAST - The Fed will commence steps to increase the transparency of their economic outlook when they release the first of their quarterly forecasts with the Oct 31st minutes. The new forecast will cover an extended horizon of 3-years, inflation forecasts for both core and headline PCE, real GDP, and unemployment rates. Particular focus will likely be paid to the initial forecast for headline PCE, as it im
[10:57] {Threei} stabilizing the overall inflation rate not just the core. The 2007 headline PCE projection is likely to exceed 3%, which would be the third increase of more than 3% in the past four years. However it is very possible the Fed's central forecast will assume softer food and energy prices in 2008 and 2009 due to current futures prices.
[10:57] {Threei} This could lead to projections of the overall PCE rate below the core rate in both years before returning to neutral in 2010. The 2008 core PCE projection could provide a more discouraging look. There is a risk, however, that FOMC members will fear that exchange rate and energy cost issues will result in some backsliding on the core PCE price index in 2008. If the central tendency is on the high side of 2.0% for 2008, a rate cut would face
[10:58] {Threei} - Market participants will be left to ask. Do the new projections and increased discussions surrounding the data put a dent in the widening gap between market expectations and Fed forecasts. Jan Fed Fund Futures still project better than an 85% chance of another rate cut to 4.25% at the December meeting.
[10:58] {Threei} anyone needed this bunch of nonsense?

[06:20] {BillyD} Vad, watching any one stock in particular at open
[06:21] {Threei} there are no clear candidates at this point... CSIQ is certainly on a radar
[06:21] {Threei} but this is not a breakout stock by any means
[06:21] {BillyD} ok..I have BIDZ with a gap
[06:21] {Threei} rather deep pullback stock
[06:23] {BillyD} see no news on BIDZ

[06:31] {Threei} ALTI?
[06:31] {BillyD} I see nothing
[06:31] {Threei} FSLR strength
[06:32] {Threei} let's see if CSIQ bottoms out and folllows the suit
[06:32] {Threei} pulled back into 18
[06:32] {cosmo} DISH
[06:32] {cosmo} CNBCmention
[06:37] {Threei} ESLR .95 break long if stays above .80
[06:39] {Roman} ZIXI
[06:39] {Roman} long
[06:39] {Roman} 3.67
[06:43] {Threei} getting interested in CSIQ for bounce
[06:44] {BillyD} no real feel for me on CSIQ so far
[06:44] {Threei} in
[06:44] {Threei} stop under .50
[06:46] {Threei} LUNA interesting chart... low volume
[06:46] {Roman} VRSN strong
[06:47] {Roman} sqeezer
[06:48] {Threei} half out CSIQ +.40
[06:49] {BillyD} nice one
[06:50] {esemde} Bstop MCRL .81
[06:50] {Threei} LUNA feels like aiming for 8... very tough read because of low volume
[06:52] {esemde} l MCRL .78
[06:53] {esemde} decent fill
[06:55] {esemde} out .97 +.20
[06:57] {esemde} nice call on LUNA vad ,,,could very well make 8
[06:57] {Threei} yeah... had to enetr on pure faith though
[06:57] {BillyD} lol
[06:58] {esemde} how are feeling about CSIQ
[06:58] {esemde} possible long at .20
[06:58] {Threei} same... deep pullbacks are for entry
[06:58] {Threei} don't buy breaks on it
[07:01] {esemde} done
[07:04] {Threei} FSLR spike
[07:05] {Threei} likely to take CSIQ with it
[07:06] {BillyD} no new entry on it right?
[07:07] {cosmo} mcrl
[07:07] {cosmo} 9 break
[07:08] {Threei} no, not on breaks
[07:08] {cosmo} i c
[07:08] {Threei} this is anticipatory kind of trading
[07:08] {Threei} no cosmo, I am talking about CSIQ
[07:08] {BillyD} got it
[07:10] {Threei} it does same thing as on Friday
[07:11] {BillyD} seems so
[07:11] {Threei} breaks are impossible to trade on it since it spikes vertically into high, breaks and immediately drop under all supports
[07:12] {Threei} there it consolidates, slows down, sits for a while, tyhen spikes again
[07:13] {BillyD} we need some holidya trades
[07:13] {BillyD} crazy momo

[07:34] {BillyD} does he have a stock symbol to short
[07:34] {BillyD} slim pickings so far
[07:38] {esemde} big pullback on CSIQ...
[07:39] {esemde} would this qualify as pullback entry VAd
[07:39] {Threei} closwr to 17 I would feel safer
[07:46] {esemde} good call vad...trying to push down to .10
[07:47] {Threei} will try to bid under 17
[07:47] {Threei} too optimistic maybe...
[07:47] {Threei} but I'd rather miss this stock than enter too soon
[07:48] {Threei} brutal one
[07:48] {esemde} indeed
[07:48] {Threei} lol

[08:00] {Threei} +.39
[08:00] {BillyD} no time to hesitate on entry
[08:00] {Threei} no
[08:00] {Threei} CSIQ under 17... still can't find clear entry
[08:01] {Threei} out second half RIMM+.70

[08:07] {BillyD} VAD any thoughts on ESLR short off 13
[08:08] {Threei} missed under .50, wasn't sure, RIMM
[08:08] {Threei} if NQ continues down
[08:08] {Threei} ESLR pretty much became market follower lately
[08:09] {BillyD} short at 13...w/ .11 stop
[08:10] {BillyD} it held .80 tough the other day
[08:12] {Threei} CSIQ, .87 long if holding above .70
[08:12] {Threei} invalidated, wants even lower
[08:12] {Threei} but become intriguing at these levels

[08:24] {esemde} i've missed it then
[08:24] {Threei} can't even make myself call it with any degree of confidence
[08:50] {Threei} MOGN long .27
[08:50] {Threei} .09 stop
[08:52] {Threei} DISH
[08:52] {Threei} TICKS TO NEW HIGHS AFTER THESTREET.COM REPORTS NEAR A DEAL WITH AT&T
[08:56] {Threei} MOGN 1:1

[08:58] {Threei} still is, haven't trailed it
[08:58] {BillyD} didn't see it quite hit 1:1
[08:58] {BillyD} just clarifying

[08:59] {Threei} please do
[08:59] {Threei} when it comes to math I need all the help I can get

[09:00] {BillyD} by the time you punch numbers into calc....you miss exit
[09:01] {BillyD} messing around with it
[09:02] {Threei} DISH is not a done deal, right?
[09:02] {Threei} just a report that it's likely
[09:03] {BillyD} not sure
[09:03] {Threei} MOGN stop to .14
[09:07] {cosmo} mcrl needs to hold 9.20 imo fwiw
[09:07] {bruce} can't see where the initial .09 stop came from in that vad
[09:07] {Threei} NQ is likely to rweverse upward here
[09:07] {Threei} RIMM shouldf follow
[09:08] {Threei} 11:45 bruce
[09:08] {Threei} from that moment on .10 became support
[09:10] {bruce} k - see it now - didn't really recognize that as a support level on my chart
[09:11] {Threei} if you got RIMM close to 106, look to exit on this spike, IMO
[09:11] {Threei} here it comes
[09:11] {dptl} long at 105.84
[09:12] * Threei slaps dptl around a bit with a large trout
[09:12] {Threei} beat me by 22 cents on entry, I got it at 106.06
[09:12] * Threei counts on BillyD to tell if 22 cents is correct
[09:13] {Threei} oh, and I am out at .65
[09:13] {BillyD} yup
[09:13] {Threei} let;s see by how much you beat me on exit

[09:25] {bruce} thanx
[09:32] {Threei} interesting daily LNUX
[09:36] {Threei} ese, you ever found guts to enter CSIQ?
[09:39] {BillyD} Vad...were you able to see a RIMM play here w. the NQ uptick
[09:39] {BillyD} now downtick
[09:40] {esemde} hi Vad yes....i'm in half lot...at .25
[09:40] {esemde} stop at 17
[09:41] {esemde} decided to wait until it broke resistance at .20
[09:41] {esemde} on the way back up....we'll see...depends on NQ{ s&p ETC
[09:44] {Threei} no Billy, not really
[09:44] {BillyD} ty
[09:44] {Threei} it's somewhat disconnected last 30 min or so
[09:44] {BillyD} well...I guess I am reading it correctly then
[09:45] {BillyD} does it seem to work better with extreme moves....sell offs for bounce, etc
[09:46] {Threei} very much so
[09:46] {Threei} best situation is when NQ stages extreme move and RIMM gives a delay
[09:47] {BillyD} it's almost like RIMM continues down a bit more when NQ jumps up
[09:47] {BillyD} with the delay for better entry
[09:47] {Threei} exactly
[09:47] {Threei} it tends to overshoot NQ a little bit
[09:49] {BillyD} Vad...do you have a daily NQ chart up
[09:49] {Threei} yes
[09:49] {BillyD} and intraday
[09:49] {Threei} yes, 1 min

[10:36] {Threei} not shortable
[10:36] {Threei} too bad
[10:36] {BillyD} yaeh..it usually falls back
[10:37] {Roman} i think there is something behind this CSUN move
[10:37] {Threei} looks like
[10:37] {Threei} more sustainable than usual
[10:37] {Roman} other solars are not moving
[10:45] {Threei} short RIMM on this bounce
[10:46] {Threei} stop above 106
[10:46] {Threei} got .69

[11:02] {Threei} ah those

[11:22] {Threei} time for NQ to pullback
[11:23] {Threei} great missed RIMM short while typed that, lol
[11:24] {Threei} OK{ this spike
[11:25] {Threei} shorted
[11:27] {Threei} stopped, too strong still
[11:29] {Threei} second try
[11:29] {Threei} covered 107.75
[11:30] {Threei} +.29
[11:30] {Threei} am I fighting the trend or what
[11:31] {BillyD} I tried at 108 on bounce upand ended up stopping 108.15
[11:32] {BillyD} NQ keeps popping up on pb
[11:32] {Threei} short once again
[11:32] {Threei} should get something more decent this time
[11:33] {Threei} half out .68
[11:33] {Threei} stop above 108
[11:35] {Threei} come on NQ, 25 points bounce deserves a pullback finally, no?
[11:35] {Threei} {NQ} you pull back
[11:36] {BillyD} kick it
[11:36] {Threei} you think violence is the answer?
[11:36] {Threei} out
[11:36] {BillyD} no...it's kicking harder right now
[11:36] {Threei} +.30 and -.05
[11:36] {Threei} lol, by you violence is the answer only when you are stronger, right?
[11:37] {Threei} (not that I disagreed with that)...
[11:37] {BillyD} yes.....must know your limitations
[11:38] {BillyD} it's like....ok RIMM I can't seem to time my entries properly so I'll just back away for the moment
[11:39] {Threei} I hav e impression that last entries were against the grain and I made money onl;y thanks to natural volatility
[11:39] {Threei} just quickly exiting when it jumped around and appeared in profitable zone
[11:39] {BillyD} lucky
[11:40] {BillyD} where's dino...hehe
[11:40] {Threei} :)
[11:46] {Threei} UPDATE: NEEDHAM INITIATES CRDC WITH BUY, PRICE TARGET: $10
[11:50] {Threei} keep an eye on CRDC, it's a dangerous one but a mover when catches attention
[11:50] {Chaeron} Needham - decent firm
[11:50] {BillyD} when did that upgrade come out?
[11:50] {Threei} 14:45 on wire
[11:50] {Threei} that's what got my attention Chaeron, thanks for confirmation
[11:51] {Chaeron} yeah... reputable
[11:51] {Threei} not some boutique with no slightest idea
[11:51] {BillyD} thx...
[11:51] {BillyD} or paid pvt research firm
[11:55] {Threei} paid in those same shares they will dump on you if you believe their upgrade and buy
[11:55] {Threei} embodiment of conflict of interest
[11:56] {Threei} but of course that never happens... right?
[11:56] {BillyD} never
[11:57] {BillyD} den of thieves
[11:57] {BillyD} amongst thieves
[11:58] {Threei} ah come on Billy, we are just on a wrong side of business :)
[11:59] {bruce} I think billy pegged them pretty well
[11:59] {BillyD} well Vad....it is just part of the rules in trading....anything goes
[12:05] {dptl} 15 trades rimm today total points profit :+1.10 so far

[12:09] {BillyD} if you get him...ask him to see mine
[12:09] {Chaeron} oh great......
[12:10] {BillyD} lol
[12:13] {Threei} CRDC maybe has it in itself... watching
[12:15] {Threei} dp, one word of caution if I may
[12:15] {Threei} do not consider RIMM your personal ASTM from now on and forever
[12:15] {Threei} ATM
[12:16] {Threei} they adopt readable patterns, then lose the tune
[12:16] {Threei} and if you don't spot the moment, you continue playing them by old rules which they do not obey anymore
[12:16] {dptl} yep as long as i can read it
[12:16] {Threei} it can happen even within a single day for a while
[12:17] {Threei} so gotta check for the following all the time
[12:19] {dptl} morning was ugly for me and then everything start working out
[12:34] {Threei} in CRDC
[12:36] {Threei} TREASURY'S STEEL: GLOBAL ECONOMY IS STRONG, US FUNDAMENTALS ARE HEALTHY
[12:36] {Threei} - Says housing decline is the most significant risk to the US economy, as US foreclosure rate is to remain elevated over the next 18 months
[12:36] {Threei} buyers have responsibility to understand mortgages, and mortgage providers must offer understandable information --- what a novel concept
[12:41] {Threei} RIMM level of interest for long again
[12:42] {Threei} +.49
[12:42] {Threei} come on CRDC, break 8
[12:47] {Threei} wanted RIMM around 106 this time... I guess I wanted too much
[12:48] {Threei} CRDC baby
[12:49] {Threei} offering 8.25, won't let it lose 8 on me, too close to eod
[12:50] {Threei} OK, out
[12:51] {Threei} too bad, if it had 1 hor mopre I'd get my 8.25 :)
[12:51] {Threei} worth watching tomorrow

[06:18] {patience} vad :)
[06:20] {BillyD} Vad, watching any one stock in particular at open
[06:21] {Threei} there are no clear candidates at this point... CSIQ is certainly on a radar
[06:21] {Threei} but this is not a breakout stock by any means
[06:21] {BillyD} ok..I have BIDZ with a gap
[06:21] {Threei} rather deep pullback stock
[06:23] {BillyD} see no news on BIDZ
[06:24] {Threei} nope

[06:31] {Threei} ALTI?
[06:31] {BillyD} I see nothing
[06:31] {Threei} FSLR strength
[06:32] {Threei} let's see if CSIQ bottoms out and folllows the suit
[06:32] {Threei} pulled back into 18
[06:32] {cosmo} DISH
[06:32] {cosmo} CNBCmention
[06:37] {Threei} ESLR .95 break long if stays above .80
[06:39] {Roman} ZIXI
[06:39] {Roman} long
[06:39] {Roman} 3.67
[06:43] {Threei} getting interested in CSIQ for bounce
[06:44] {BillyD} no real feel for me on CSIQ so far
[06:44] {Threei} in
[06:44] {Threei} stop under .50
[06:46] {Threei} LUNA interesting chart... low volume
[06:46] {Roman} VRSN strong
[06:47] {Roman} sqeezer
[06:48] {Threei} half out CSIQ +.40
[06:49] {BillyD} nice one
[06:50] {esemde} Bstop MCRL .81
[06:50] {Threei} LUNA feels like aiming for 8... very tough read because of low volume
[06:52] {esemde} l MCRL .78
[06:53] {esemde} decent fill
[06:55] {esemde} out .97 +.20
[06:57] {esemde} nice call on LUNA vad ,,,could very well make 8
[06:57] {Threei} yeah... had to enetr on pure faith though
[06:57] {BillyD} lol
[06:58] {esemde} how are feeling about CSIQ
[06:58] {esemde} possible long at .20
[06:58] {Threei} same... deep pullbacks are for entry
[06:58] {Threei} don't buy breaks on it
[07:01] {esemde} done
[07:04] {Threei} FSLR spike
[07:05] {Threei} likely to take CSIQ with it
[07:06] {BillyD} no new entry on it right?
[07:07] {cosmo} mcrl
[07:07] {cosmo} 9 break
[07:08] {Threei} no, not on breaks
[07:08] {cosmo} i c
[07:08] {Threei} this is anticipatory kind of trading
[07:08] {Threei} no cosmo, I am talking about CSIQ
[07:08] {BillyD} got it
[07:10] {Threei} it does same thing as on Friday
[07:11] {BillyD} seems so
[07:11] {Threei} breaks are impossible to trade on it since it spikes vertically into high, breaks and immediately drop under all supports
[07:12] {Threei} there it consolidates, slows down, sits for a while, tyhen spikes again
[07:13] {BillyD} we need some holidya trades
[07:13] {BillyD} crazy momo
[07:13] {Threei} [MCRL] Micrel, Incorporated Sign multi-million Contract With Commercial Solar Cell Company

[07:34] {BillyD} does he have a stock symbol to short
[07:34] {BillyD} slim pickings so far
[07:38] {esemde} big pullback on CSIQ...
[07:39] {esemde} would this qualify as pullback entry VAd
[07:39] {Threei} closwr to 17 I would feel safer
[07:46] {esemde} good call vad...trying to push down to .10
[07:47] {Threei} will try to bid under 17
[07:47] {Threei} too optimistic maybe...
[07:47] {Threei} but I'd rather miss this stock than enter too soon
[07:48] {Threei} brutal one
[07:48] {esemde} indeed
[07:48] {Threei} lol

[08:07] {BillyD} VAD any thoughts on ESLR short off 13
[08:08] {Threei} missed under .50, wasn't sure, RIMM
[08:08] {Threei} if NQ continues down
[08:08] {Threei} ESLR pretty much became market follower lately
[08:09] {BillyD} short at 13...w/ .11 stop
[08:10] {BillyD} it held .80 tough the other day
[08:12] {Threei} CSIQ, .87 long if holding above .70
[08:12] {Threei} invalidated, wants even lower
[08:12] {Threei} but become intriguing at these levels

[08:23] {Threei} t bring myself to hold it for bigger move, this stock scares the living daylight out of me today
[08:24] {esemde} i've missed it then
[08:24] {Threei} can't even make myself call it with any degree of confidence
[08:50] {Threei} MOGN long .27
[08:50] {Threei} .09 stop
[08:52] {Threei} DISH
[08:52] {Threei} TICKS TO NEW HIGHS AFTER THESTREET.COM REPORTS NEAR A DEAL WITH AT&T
[08:56] {Threei} MOGN 1:1

[08:57] {Threei} .09
[08:58] {Threei} still is, haven't trailed it
[08:58] {BillyD} didn't see it quite hit 1:1
[08:58] {BillyD} just clarifying
[08:58] {Threei} no, sorry, I meant 1:1 play
[08:59] {BillyD} ok

[08:59] {Threei} please do
[08:59] {Threei} when it comes to math I need all the help I can get
[09:00] {Threei} and if you have spellchecker, consider it oo :)
[09:00] {BillyD} by the time you punch numbers into calc....you miss exit
[09:01] {BillyD} messing around with it
[09:02] {Threei} DISH is not a done deal, right?
[09:02] {Threei} just a report that it's likely
[09:03] {BillyD} not sure
[09:03] {Threei} MOGN stop to .14
[09:07] {cosmo} mcrl needs to hold 9.20 imo fwiw
[09:07] {bruce} can't see where the initial .09 stop came from in that vad
[09:07] {Threei} NQ is likely to rweverse upward here
[09:07] {Threei} RIMM shouldf follow
[09:08] {Threei} 11:45 bruce
[09:08] {Threei} from that moment on .10 became support
[09:10] {bruce} k - see it now - didn't really recognize that as a support level on my chart
[09:11] {Threei} if you got RIMM close to 106, look to exit on this spike, IMO
[09:11] {Threei} here it comes
[09:11] {dptl} long at 105.84
[09:12] * Threei slaps dptl around a bit with a large trout
[09:12] {Threei} beat me by 22 cents on entry, I got it at 106.06
[09:12] * Threei counts on BillyD to tell if 22 cents is correct
[09:13] {Threei} oh, and I am out at .65
[09:13] {BillyD} yup

[09:24] {Threei} slow one
[09:25] {bruce} thanx
[09:32] {Threei} interesting daily LNUX
[09:36] {Threei} ese, you ever found guts to enter CSIQ?
[09:39] {BillyD} Vad...were you able to see a RIMM play here w. the NQ uptick
[09:39] {BillyD} now downtick
[09:40] {esemde} hi Vad yes....i'm in half lot...at .25
[09:40] {esemde} stop at 17
[09:41] {esemde} decided to wait until it broke resistance at .20
[09:41] {esemde} on the way back up....we'll see...depends on NQ{ s&p ETC
[09:44] {Threei} no Billy, not really
[09:44] {BillyD} ty
[09:44] {Threei} it's somewhat disconnected last 30 min or so
[09:44] {BillyD} well...I guess I am reading it correctly then
[09:45] {BillyD} does it seem to work better with extreme moves....sell offs for bounce, etc
[09:46] {Threei} very much so
[09:46] {Threei} best situation is when NQ stages extreme move and RIMM gives a delay
[09:47] {BillyD} it's almost like RIMM continues down a bit more when NQ jumps up
[09:47] {BillyD} with the delay for better entry
[09:47] {Threei} exactly
[09:47] {Threei} it tends to overshoot NQ a little bit
[09:49] {BillyD} Vad...do you have a daily NQ chart up
[09:49] {Threei} yes
[09:49] {BillyD} and intraday
[09:49] {Threei} yes, 1 min

[10:37] {Roman} i think there is something behind this CSUN move
[10:37] {Threei} looks like
[10:37] {Threei} more sustainable than usual
[10:37] {Roman} other solars are not moving
[10:45] {Threei} short RIMM on this bounce

[11:07] {Threei} I think I need a keyboard with keys twice as big... somehow they all seem to touch one another and produce two letters instead of one
[11:22] {Threei} time for NQ to pullback
[11:23] {Threei} great missed RIMM short while typed that, lol
[11:24] {Threei} OK{ this spike
[11:25] {Threei} shorted
[11:27] {Threei} stopped, too strong still
[11:29] {Threei} second try
[11:29] {Threei} covered 107.75
[11:30] {Threei} +.29
[11:30] {Threei} am I fighting the trend or what
[11:31] {BillyD} I tried at 108 on bounce upand ended up stopping 108.15
[11:32] {BillyD} NQ keeps popping up on pb
[11:32] {Threei} short once again
[11:32] {Threei} should get something more decent this time
[11:33] {Threei} half out .68
[11:33] {Threei} stop above 108
[11:35] {Threei} come on NQ, 25 points bounce deserves a pullback finally, no?
[11:35] {Threei} {NQ} you pull back
[11:36] {BillyD} kick it
[11:36] {Threei} you think violence is the answer?
[11:36] {Threei} out
[11:36] {BillyD} no...it's kicking harder right now
[11:36] {Threei} +.30 and -.05
[11:36] {Threei} lol, by you violence is the answer only when you are stronger, right?
[11:37] {Threei} (not that I disagreed with that)...
[11:37] {BillyD} yes.....must know your limitations
[11:38] {BillyD} it's like....ok RIMM I can't seem to time my entries properly so I'll just back away for the moment
[11:39] {Threei} I hav e impression that last entries were against the grain and I made money onl;y thanks to natural volatility
[11:39] {Threei} just quickly exiting when it jumped around and appeared in profitable zone
[11:39] {BillyD} lucky
[11:40] {BillyD} where's dino...hehe
[11:40] {Threei} :)
[11:46] {Threei} UPDATE: NEEDHAM INITIATES CRDC WITH BUY, PRICE TARGET: $10
[11:50] {Threei} keep an eye on CRDC, it's a dangerous one but a mover when catches attention
[11:50] {Chaeron} Needham - decent firm
[11:50] {BillyD} when did that upgrade come out?
[11:50] {Threei} 14:45 on wire
[11:50] {Threei} that's what got my attention Chaeron, thanks for confirmation
[11:51] {Chaeron} yeah... reputable
[11:51] {Threei} not some boutique with no slightest idea
[11:51] {BillyD} thx...
[11:51] {BillyD} or paid pvt research firm
[11:55] {Threei} paid in those same shares they will dump on you if you believe their upgrade and buy
[11:55] {Threei} embodiment of conflict of interest
[11:56] {Threei} but of course that never happens... right?
[11:56] {BillyD} never
[11:57] {BillyD} den of thieves
[11:57] {BillyD} amongst thieves
[11:58] {Threei} ah come on Billy, we are just on a wrong side of business :)
[11:59] {bruce} I think billy pegged them pretty well
[11:59] {BillyD} well Vad....it is just part of the rules in trading....anything goes
[12:05] {dptl} 15 trades rimm today total points profit :+1.10 so far
[12:06] {Threei} well done
[12:06] {dptl} tnx learning
[12:06] {BillyD} nice dp
[12:08] {Chaeron} LAserDave - dcc
[12:09] {BillyD} if you get him...ask him to see mine
[12:09] {Chaeron} oh great......
[12:10] {BillyD} lol
[12:13] {Threei} CRDC maybe has it in itself... watching
[12:15] {Threei} dp, one word of caution if I may
[12:15] {Threei} do not consider RIMM your personal ASTM from now on and forever
[12:15] {Threei} ATM
[12:16] {Threei} they adopt readable patterns, then lose the tune
[12:16] {Threei} and if you don't spot the moment, you continue playing them by old rules which they do not obey anymore
[12:16] {dptl} yep as long as i can read it
[12:16] {Threei} it can happen even within a single day for a while
[12:17] {Threei} so gotta check for the following all the time
[12:19] {dptl} morning was ugly for me and then everything start working out
[12:34] {Threei} in CRDC
[12:36] {Threei} TREASURY'S STEEL: GLOBAL ECONOMY IS STRONG, US FUNDAMENTALS ARE HEALTHY
[12:36] {Threei} - Says housing decline is the most significant risk to the US economy, as US foreclosure rate is to remain elevated over the next 18 months
[12:36] {Threei} buyers have responsibility to understand mortgages, and mortgage providers must offer understandable information --- what a novel concept
[12:41] {Threei} RIMM level of interest for long again
[12:42] {Threei} +.49
[12:42] {Threei} come on CRDC, break 8
[12:47] {Threei} wanted RIMM around 106 this time... I guess I wanted too much
[12:48] {Threei} CRDC baby
[12:49] {Threei} offering 8.25, won't let it lose 8 on me, too close to eod
[12:50] {Threei} OK, out
[12:51] {Threei} too bad, if it had 1 hor mopre I'd get my 8.25 :)
[12:51] {Threei} worth watching tomorrow
[12:52] {Threei} sneaky thing, I like the way it quietly went up
[12:52] {BillyD} sneaky needham
