[09:06] {cosmo} mel gibson?
[09:09] {dino} gm all
[09:10] {Threei} dino :)
[09:11] {magoo} vad, does this russian ban mean that homer, bart and family cannot travel to russia?
[09:11] {Threei} I guess
[09:12] {magoo} heres the scenario....everyone expects BIG ramp up if releif is approved...is that too obvios...OR, is it self fullfilling?
[09:13] {magoo} package approved and mkt goes down hatrd would hurt the most
[09:13] {magoo} but, mkt down already as in oversold
[09:13] {Threei} hmmm... where were you two days ago?
[09:13] {magoo} huh?
[09:13] {dino} last thursday and friday big ramp, +700 give or take, give all back this week so far. it is thursday again. watch dji 11483-10,400, new range
[09:14] {Threei} [08:34] {Threei} let me describe how I see the current situation in the market and my idea of what is coming
[09:14] {Threei} [08:34] {Threei} I believe the market is working the process of bottoming these days. Bottom, however, is a process rather than event.
[09:14] {Threei} [08:34] {Threei} In last week's explosion market kind of showed its hand - made it too obvious that rescue plan is what it wants to put the bottom in and reverse.
[09:14] {Threei} [08:35] {Threei} Things can't be that obvious and easy - market is always trying to go with as few people on board as possible.
[09:14] {Threei} [08:35] {Threei} When I ask myself "if I were a market, what would I do to fool those who decided they figured me out?", my scenario comes out as following:
[09:14] {dino} sell the rips
[09:14] {Threei} [08:35] {Threei} 1. While the rescue plan is being discussed, retreat and plant as much doubt as possible
[09:14] {Threei} [08:35] {Threei} 2. When the plan is adopted, spike briefly luring "reflexive players" in
[09:14] {Threei} [08:35] {Threei} 3. Drop sharply, possible making new low, shake out hopefuls as violently and rudely as possible
[09:14] {Threei} [08:36] {Threei} 4. Rally from there as fast as posssible, leaving new believers minimal chance for entry and make them chase.
[09:14] {Threei} [08:36] {Threei} 5. Now that credit crisis ceased to be THE worry, start looking for new worries or recycling old ones (USD, oil etc), but do it in a context of new bull market.
[09:14] {Threei} and guess what... you were right there:
[09:14] {Threei} [08:40] {magoo} interesting vad
[09:15] {Threei} early onset of Alzheimer? :)
[09:15] {magoo} holy crap..after "huh" went for cup-o-joe and whammo
[09:15] {hawkfan4} lol
[09:17] {magoo} well, lets try to det more specific...approval ramp last more than one day?
[09:19] {dptl} good morning all
[09:19] {Threei} dp :)
[09:20] {Threei} as it stands now, I doubt it magoo
[09:20] {dino} thursday and fri, fri close 100 off peak, down big mon, tues......and there you have it
[09:20] {Threei} a lot depends on what happens between now and bailout being adopted
[09:20] {dino} thursday friday ramp big 600 pts combined
[09:21] {dino} watch 11483 for index shorts, imo
[09:21] {esemde} Thats an interesting paper Vad...The Telegraph...is it a rag or legit?
[09:22] {Threei} motly just news
[09:22] {Threei} mostly
[09:23] {magoo} so dino...a ramp tomorrow and next day friday
[09:24] {magoo} oh shit..todays thurs{thought it was wef}
[09:32] {Threei} CNBC'S LISEMAN: THE TOTAL BAILOUT PACKAGE WILL REMAIN AT $700B, HAS BEEN TALK OF SETTING ASIDE BANKRUPTCY PROVISIONS DEMANDED BY DEMOCRATS
[09:34] {Threei} Long Setup: MS half lot, .85 trigger if holding above .70
[09:35] {Threei} invalidated, bounce candidate under .50

[09:42] {Threei} no way to call exact entry on such setups, either you get a feel for it or stay away

[08:05] {Threei} CNBC'S GASPARINO DISCUSSES ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS AROUND THE TREASURY'S BAILOUT PACKAGE
[08:05] {Threei} - still believes the deal gets done but suggests Treasury will have to continue to make concessions in order to get "Main Street" on board
[08:12] {esemde} good morning vad
[08:13] {Threei} ese :)
[08:13] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:13] {esemde} mornin hawk
[08:13] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:14] {hawkfan4} es, vad :)
[08:24] {esemde} bought a new laptop yesterday.....macbookpro....should eventually solve my computor problems around here once i learn to use it Vad
[08:24] {Threei} Mac?
[08:24] {esemde} yes
[08:24] {Threei} never used any of those
[08:24] {Threei} I am PC guy... :)
[08:24] {esemde} me either
[08:25] {esemde} but have to because just about the entire recording industry are using them
[08:26] {Threei} oh, I see
[08:26] {esemde} steep learning curve coming
[08:27] {esemde} I had the oddest thought the other day while on the golf course
[08:28] {esemde} was thursty...and so started thinking about dp's gift to you....
[08:28] {Threei} rofl
[08:28] {esemde} might be the funniest thing i've ever seen
[08:29] {magoo} morning
[08:29] {Threei} magoo :)
[08:29] {esemde} mags!!!!!
[08:30] {magoo} oh oh...too much cafe"
[08:34] {Threei} let me describe how I see the current situation in the market and my idea of what is coming
[08:34] {Threei} I believe the market is working the process of bottoming these days. Bottom, however, is a process rather than event.
[08:34] {Threei} In last week's explosion market kind of showed its hand - made it too obvious that rescue plan is what it wants to put the bottom in and reverse.
[08:35] {Threei} Things can't be that obvious and easy - market is always trying to go with as few people on board as possible.
[08:35] {Threei} When I ask myself "if I were a market, what would I do to fool those who decided they figured me out?", my scenario comes out as following:
[08:35] {Threei} 1. While the rescue plan is being discussed, retreat and plant as much doubt as possible
[08:35] {Threei} 2. When the plan is adopted, spike briefly luring "reflexive players" in
[08:35] {Threei} 3. Drop sharply, possible making new low, shake out hopefuls as violently and rudely as possible
[08:36] {Threei} 4. Rally from there as fast as posssible, leaving new believers minimal chance for entry and make them chase.
[08:36] {Threei} 5. Now that credit crisis ceased to be THE worry, start looking for new worries or recycling old ones (USD, oil etc), but do it in a context of new bull market.
[08:38] {Threei} US PRESIDENT BUSH: CONFIDENT IN BIPARTISANSHIP COOPERATION WITH MARKET RESCUE PLAN BILL
[08:40] {magoo} interesting vad
[08:40] {Threei} we will see how it develops... :)
[08:41] {Threei} intuitively, does such scenario ring true with you?
[08:42] {esemde} Old market adage....from stock market almanac...market bottoms are made in quiet....market tops in violence....
[08:42] {esemde} anytruth to that ?
[08:42] {magoo} `absolutely....u thought of it...but thats how i would bet it to play out
[08:42] {magoo} see..market needs to hurt the masses
[08:42] {magoo} your scenario would do that
[08:43] {cosmo} rescue me ...sheesh
[08:43] {esemde} I don't have to think about it.....I just follow Vad blindly...thats my strategy
[08:43] {Threei} lol
[08:51] {esemde} man........just want to sink a couple of thousand shares into a bunch of solar stocks.......ala ESLR, CSIQ{SOLF and a few more and just sit on them
[08:51] {Threei} why solars?
[08:52] {Threei} it's an honest question
[08:52] {esemde} just the ones with good balance sheets.......and because it's the wave of the future
[08:53] {Threei} even with oil dropping (as I believe it will unless rescue package totally kills USD)?
[08:53] {esemde} this last go around has damaged oils reputation.......
[08:54] {esemde} it take a shock in my mind to get populations to think
[08:54] {cosmo} like 'free' energy?
[08:54] {magoo} see..im with vad here..mkt doesn't respond that way...its obvious solars are the future so they remain beaten up
[08:54] {esemde} about half the people on my staff at school are looking for alternative means of transportation
[08:55] {cosmo} thinking is the best way to travel...
[08:55] {esemde} if thats just my staff you gotta figure that could be the same all over......
[08:57] {esemde} this was a shock to people.......and anyone with a reasonable amount of IQ"S will start to think about alternatives
[08:57] {Threei} true
[08:57] {Threei} I just don't know how viable alternatives are at this point
[08:57] {Threei} solars are still unsustainable without govt subcidies
[08:58] {esemde} ala Detroit electric...could be it's time
[08:58] {esemde} i would agree with that vad
[08:59] {esemde} Wind energy ....that another big one....powers about 1/8th of Denmark
[09:00] {esemde} those plants are springing up all over the US and Great Briton now
[09:00] {pita} morning all
[09:00] {esemde} pita
[09:00] {pita} ese

[09:01] {peterg} makes sense. Of course just after I parked cash in bond fund
[09:09] {peterg} ese, you got a mac?
[09:09] {peterg} it will worki for room, but not compatible with a lot of trading programs
[09:09] {peterg} I have mac with parallels, a windows simulation & laser dsnt work on it.
[09:09] {cosmo} COMS pre mkt high = 2.39 fwiw

[09:15] {esemde} parallels
[09:17] {peterg} that works
[09:17] {esemde} do you like it peter?
[09:18] {peterg} was just thinking where is computer that operates on voice command

[09:49] {Threei} one correction is probably needed on finnies
[09:49] {Threei} since there are no shorts on them, their pullbacks are deeper than usual
[09:50] {Threei} let's try to do it this way:
[09:50] {Threei} when chart says time to enter, let's wait for one more dump
[09:50] {magoo} u mean we gotta wait until dino runs into restroom?
[09:50] {dino} lol

[10:45] {Threei} it can do it easily
[10:45] {Threei} remember, according to my "plan", we are in rinsing stage
[10:45] {Threei} market is more concerned with getting rid of early longs thatn anything else
