[06:24] {esemde} The purchase price of $11.75 per share represents a 30 percent premium over the company's average closing price for the past 60 days, 24/7 said.
[06:25] {Threei} wierd that it trades above the bid
[06:26] {esemde} I was just thinking that
[06:27] {DaveG} thanks for correcting me
[06:27] {gabby} perhaps they assume another bidder comes?
[06:27] {DaveG} gonna head over to my corner now :)
[06:27] {Threei} either that, or there are some conditions in the deal
[06:28] {Threei} that allow for the higher price under cxertain circumstances
[06:28] {esemde} my turn is coming Dave...if it already hasn't
[06:28] {Threei} Dave, you do that, but don't think it's going to save you from being trouted
[06:28] {Threei} we just wait for the moment you least expect

[06:40] {Threei} short at .70 break, half lot
[06:40] {Threei} AMZN that is
[06:40] {Threei} if goes above 63, backing away from shorting for now
[06:42] {craigaudio} NQ going for gap fill
[06:43] {Threei} .94 break would taske us there it seems
[06:43] {craigaudio} missed the RMBS short
[06:45] {magoo} DUSA vad...near high
[06:45] {craigaudio} AMZN play invalidated?
[06:45] {Threei} [09:40] {Threei} if goes above 63, backing away from shorting for now
[06:45] {craigaudio} thnks. just confirming :-)
[06:46] {DaveG} nice call rvbd dino
[06:46] {Threei} 4 maybe worth a try magoo, with stop 3.84
[06:46] {Threei} news is rather fluff on it but this kind often just takes a life on its own
[06:46] {magoo} its avail short also vad
[06:47] {Threei} if loses 3.80, becomes rather a bounce play
[06:47] {dino} out rvbd .49, +.55
[06:47] {Threei} a bit early for shorting it probably
[06:47] {magoo} loses .50 may be short play
[06:47] {DaveG} very nice dino, wtg
[06:47] {Threei} let it bounce around couple times and start losing steam

[07:09] {Threei} not necessary... really depends on what you aimed for, it's a valid decision in a framework of your trading plan
[07:09] {Threei} not "better or wosre"
[07:11] {esemde} kept the risk reasonably small as well .25 on 600shs
[07:11] {esemde} was approx 1:1 though
[07:12] {esemde} as per your book
[07:13] {Threei} if that was the original idea of the trade and things went as planned, everything's well
[07:13] {craigaudio} NVDA vad?
[07:14] {Threei} if original idea was different, then important question is, what happened to make you change your mind

[08:57] {dino} i'm wrong then thought you threw alot out
[08:57] {dino} nexc s rfr .52, stop hod
[08:59] {craigaudio} problem with 1:1 is that if you have a bad day. even if the next one is good then your still only even
[08:59] {dino} some days you eat the bear...
[08:59] {Threei} if you have a bad day, you will have it 1;1 or 1:5
[09:00] {craigaudio} not enough days left in this week for me
[09:01] {Threei} as if for the rest of us the amount of days in a week is different? :)
[09:01] {Roman} Philadelphia Fed 4.2 vs 4.0 consensus, prior 0.2
[09:01] {dino} if i may, clear out all. then start over, you have to stay positive, otherwise you're f*cked
[09:01] {craigaudio} yes
[09:01] {craigaudio} im always positive.
[09:02] {Threei} can you believe DUSA
[09:02] {magoo} yes
[09:02] {Roman} CAAS spike
[09:02] {Roman} CAAS news
[09:02] {Roman} RADAR
[09:03] {Roman} CAAS China Automotive Signed Supply Agreement with Volkswagen Joint Venture in China (8.10 +0.24)
[09:03] {Roman} this one can go
[09:03] {Roman} over $9
[09:03] {Roman} decent earnings earlier this week with this news
[09:04] {Roman} i am bidding 8.05 area
[09:07] {Threei} beauty
[09:07] {Threei} out from .23
[09:07] {Threei} thanks Roman
[09:07] {Roman} yo , i am still bidding 8.05
[09:07] {Roman} come back
[09:08] {craigaudio} lol.
[09:09] {craigaudio} DRIV bounce?
[09:09] {Threei} why?
[09:10] {dino} i was at 7.90
[09:10] {Roman} CTDC finding a bid off CAAS
[09:10] {Roman} watching CLWT as well
[09:11] {craigaudio} fall to support. also no bad news: RIV to win incremental large software customers (ADBE, INTU, ADSK and ERTS are all opportunities), which should increase its growth rate.
[09:11] {Threei} wow
[09:11] {Threei} that's a whole lot of totally unconnected things in one sentenbce :)
[09:12] {craigaudio} lol
[09:12] {Roman} MDII high
[09:13] {Threei} you jump to many different things at the samew time, craig
[09:14] {Roman} craig u stil in GERN?
[09:14] {craigaudio} no
[09:14] {craigaudio} are you? what are you thinking for that trade. i didnt like the way it was going
[09:14] {Threei} growth rate, customers on one side... and bounce on intraday basis on another
[09:14] {craigaudio} although i see volume coming in now
[09:15] {Roman} it's a slow mover, maybe too slow for scalping
[09:15] {Threei} have have nothng to do with each toehr
[09:16] {craigaudio} also 15min third higher pivot if holds
[09:16] {Roman} when u have bad day, instead of buying a breakout , u wait and buy pullbacks only, less risk
[09:17] {dino} imo, you try to see too much. my indicators are very basic, ie: less is more
[09:17] {Roman} if CAAS takes $9 and higher, i am watching JRJC another small cap China play
[09:18] {Roman} PTEN looks good
[09:18] {dino} forget reasons why, just watch the tape
[09:19] {Roman} MDII strange, maybe news coming

[09:47] {Roman} OMNI OMNI Energy Srvs raises 2007 guidance (10.19 +0.42)
[09:49] {Roman} guidance is strong
[09:50] {dino} nexc bstop tightened to .64, not working
[09:57] {dino} nexc stopped -.12
[10:02] {magoo} mkts losing ground here
[10:06] {craigaudio} im thinking that when the market trend changes overall it begins gradually then picks up when everyone realises whats happening and starts to hit eject?
[10:06] {dino} say it isn't so
[10:06] {craigaudio} is that right?
[10:06] {dino} to magoo
[10:07] {craigaudio} (my questions to anyone)
[10:08] {dino} dk, not really thinking about it
[10:08] {dino} right now we are in a bull, i'm dealing w/that
[10:09] {craigaudio} just wondering from prior experience what happens
[10:09] {magoo} u are fulla bull dino...i dealing with that
[10:09] {dino} lol. but seriously nobody knows. the bull may go on all year or end today
[10:11] {Threei} it can happen in different ways craig
[10:11] {Threei} what you described is one of them
[10:12] {Threei} sharp spike on a huge volume can mark the trend change just as well
[10:12] {craigaudio} ok. just wondered
[10:13] {dino} as they say in "trading in the zone"; "anything can happen" best 3 words you can learn
[10:13] {Threei} my inclinations are with dino on this matter
[10:13] {Threei} there is no need for a trader to overthink this kind of things
[10:13] {dino} and therefore, nothing i believe matters
[10:13] {craigaudio} oh im not trying to predict at all. it was just a thought on what actually happens when the trend and sentiment changes
[10:14] {Threei} analysis of this kind do nothing but create a feeling that you get some deep market secrets
[10:14] {Threei} which in turn creates false feeling of security
[10:14] {Threei} and tends to get you in troubles
[10:15] {Threei} trading is different animal by its nature
[10:15] {dino} craig, you know what really helped me? i turned the volume off of cnbc and put on the music.
[10:15] {Threei} recognize familiar scenraio for which you have standard response
[10:15] {Threei} respond
[10:15] {Threei} and let market do its thing
[10:15] {Threei} proving you right or wrong
[10:15] {Threei} in both cases you have standadr responses too
[10:16] {Threei} you can't even imagine how liberating and effective this approach is until you master it
[10:16] {Threei} then you start understanding how much stress analysis putr on you
[10:16] {craigaudio} i dont have CNBC. although id like to see cramers program everyone goes on about... and i have chilled out tunes on all day :-)
[10:17] {Threei} there is a good reason why analysts don't make good traders usually
[10:17] {Threei} no matter how brilliant they are
[10:17] {dino} good. now in big letters, tape this to your computer screen to make you keep stops: "BEING POOR SUCKS, STAYING POOR IS STUPID".
[10:18] {dino} somx
[10:18] {craigaudio} lol
[10:18] {dino} it's on my screen, ask magoo

[10:47] {craigaudio} first time yes
[10:48] {Threei} so what's wrong with dumping it
[10:48] {dino} tecua stopped -.07
[10:48] {craigaudio} got back in and second time i had a bad feeling about so dumped it at small loss

[06:55] {craigaudio} yes. me too, thats why im here. The doctor stopped proscribing the Valium so have to stick to the relaxed moves
[06:56] {Threei} I prefer stress and agonizing over what to do today, BBQ or smoking
[06:56] {craigaudio} my days of RIMM and BIDU are over.
[06:56] {craigaudio} lets not even mention GOOG
[06:56] {Threei} {GOOG} and I just started thinking about commitnment... :(

[06:58] {craigaudio} nice dino. earnings play i presume
[06:58] {Threei} and when all this happens so close to major resistance, it adds nice spicy taste to things
[06:58] {craigaudio} dino what indicators on charts do you use?

[07:01] {craigaudio} let me know if it was still valid as im in
[07:01] {Threei} craig, you realize it violated 'IF" in setup's scenario?
[07:01] {Threei} at the very least it means your stop would have to be .21 instead of .16
[07:01] {dino} \slowing down
[07:01] {craigaudio} shall i just get out?
[07:02] {Threei} and quite likely it made a trade questionable if not invalid
[07:02] {Threei} well, NQ tries to break down
[07:02] {dino} whats w/agil?
[07:02] {Threei} maybe give it a chance

[07:13] {Threei} JNPR balance stop to .89

[07:13] {dino} out mnst .73, +.33
[07:14] {dino} dino is bacckkk
[07:14] {Threei} hehe
[07:14] {craigaudio} you tha man dino
[07:14] {Threei} welcome back
[07:14] {dino} why thank you
[07:14] {craigaudio} dont do anything stupid now though
[07:14] {craigaudio} i find it much easyier to put back. and usually do
[07:15] {dino} :)
[07:15] {Threei} dino sighs, throws away bottle of vodka and cancels escort service call
[07:15] {dino} lol
[07:15] {craigaudio} lol
[07:15] {Threei} TBSI 1:2
[07:15] {craigaudio} big spread on TBSI
[07:16] {Threei} that's why "smaaaal shares" remark
[07:16] {craigaudio} yes noted
[07:16] {craigaudio} thats why i only put 3000 on ;-)
[07:16] {dino} whoa
[07:16] {Threei} so, you caused that spike singlehandedly :)
[07:17] {craigaudio} lol
[07:17] {esemde} CVLT..
[07:17] {Threei} good luck finding a buyer now
[07:17] {craigaudio} with 3000 shares on a stock like that id have to have a valium drip and escort girls fanning me down while i neck vodka
[07:18] {dino} now thats a vacation
[07:19] {Threei} lol
[07:19] {craigaudio} for experienced traders only. not everyone can take that sort of external enjoyment and trade with a level head
[07:20] {Threei} that's a questionable assumption... see, you assume the head, level or not, is a necessary accessory for trading
[07:22] {craigaudio} damn. ive been done by the barber. he said i need a flat top cut for trading!!! the fiend
[07:23] {dino} thats what i have
[07:23] {dino} thought it was required
[07:24] * magoo slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[07:25] {dino} iaac spike
[07:25] {magoo} hey vad, for scalpers out of jnpr, 24 a long trigger/
[07:26] {craigaudio} forming a triangle here in 5min. could go easily higher
[07:28] {dino} seeing circles here
[07:30] {Threei} 24.06 rather, magoo
[07:30] {Roman} GIGM trying for new high
[07:31] {magoo} ok, how about brcm as a renewed short?
[07:32] {Threei} being in red while NQ positive makes it a candidate
[07:32] {Threei} ideally, if stays under .95
[07:32] {Threei} it's just that it requires NQ reversal to downside to wrok
[07:32] {Threei} so if it happens, sure
[07:34] {craigaudio} worth adding on the JNPR if it breaks 24.06? is that a good option too
[07:34] {Roman} long ESLR
[07:34] {Roman} 1/2 size 9.08
[07:35] {Threei} not sujre craig... tough call
[07:35] {craigaudio} might be stopped here anyway now
[07:38] {craigaudio} DRYS falling
[07:39] {craigaudio} looking at BIF as a swing. put in hammer on daily with volume coming in
[07:43] {Roman} CYDS again

[07:55] {craigaudio} good sign with JNPR holding
[07:57] {craigaudio} gave it the kiss of death. stopped out second half
[07:58] {craigaudio} what about shorting EBAY if it bounces back to 33.14?
[07:59] {Threei} I'd oprefer it to stay under .10
[08:00] {Threei} shorted BRCM, magoo?

[08:12] {DaveG} see :)
[08:12] {Raven} but be careful
[08:12] {Threei} so what dave, there is such thing as preemptive punishment
[08:13] {DaveG} sigh
[08:13] {Threei} BRCM obeys NQ
[08:15] {lklarson} hi all
[08:15] {Threei} lkl :)
[08:16] {craigaudio} hi larson
[08:17] {craigaudio} Vad do you use anything else bar bollinger bands/volume as indicators
[08:17] {dino} gm lkl
[08:17] {Threei} nope
[08:17] {Threei} even BBs are on the verge of relevance for me
[08:20] {craigaudio} k
[08:20] {dino} lend jumpy
[08:22] {craigaudio} TRINS rising. not good for longs
[08:22] {craigaudio} do you watch market internals like TRINS and the TICKs Vad?
[08:23] {dino} cvlt s .59, stop .77
[08:23] {Threei} nope
[08:23] {Roman} JASO losing it
[08:23] {craigaudio} k

[08:27] {dino} cvlt tighten bstop to .69, not feeling it

[08:41] {craigaudio} BMRN long Vad?
[08:42] {craigaudio} filling gap and close to break 18
[08:42] {Threei} if stays above .60, sure
[08:43] {craigaudio} .74 entry?
[08:43] {Threei} .72 if you go off intraday chart, .75 if off daily...
[08:43] {Threei} .75 I guess would be more accurate
[08:44] {craigaudio} no something that interests you?
[08:44] {craigaudio} not*
[08:44] {craigaudio} just wondering if there is anything that would put you off it
[08:45] {Threei} well, it's a nice chart overall,
[08:45] {Threei} the only thing that cools me off a little is,
[08:45] {Threei} it consolidates for a bit too long, and day is getting mature
[08:45] {Threei} I tend to trust breakouts less when we go into lunch time
[08:46] {craigaudio} ok. what do you switch to later into lunch time? breakdowns?
[08:46] {Roman} no go for WINN
[08:47] {Threei} too broad question
[08:47] {Threei} breakdowns cabn be just as treacherous, it all depends on particular environment
[08:47] {Threei} lunch time usually provides more of range opportunities
[08:47] {craigaudio} just wondering what your focus is then as the day progresses
[08:47] {Threei} bounces or retreats
[08:48] {Roman} shorting JASO small, under 24.55
[08:48] {Threei} less trend continuations
[08:48] {Threei} thus more of scalping approach
[08:48] {craigaudio} ok. whats a retreat? never heard that phrase used
[08:48] {Threei} bounce with your monitor turned upside down
[08:48] {DaveG} it's when your church group goes into the woods
[08:48] {Threei} or you standing on your head
[08:49] {Threei} but not both as it will turn retreat into bounce again
[08:49] {craigaudio} lol
[08:49] {Threei} :)
[08:50] {Roman} in JASO short
[08:50] {lklarson} wont let me short JASO
[08:50] {lklarson} same old story
[08:51] {craigaudio} yes im using the order bar more now to ween myself off the matrix and perhaps get a new broker
[08:52] {Threei} you guys like torturing yourself, don't you? :)
[08:52] {lklarson} not a bad idea
[08:52] {craigaudio} keep TS for charts and just pay the subscription or make a few trades a month to make sure its free
[08:52] {craigaudio} and you like teasing us about it ;-)
[08:52] {Roman} tradestation has very low short availability
[08:52] {lklarson} that all its good:)
[08:53] {craigaudio} hey its not that easy to just unplug yourself from the matrix. its such a warm fluffy place
[08:53] {lklarson} Roman, do you miss alot of short trades to
[08:53] {Roman} no, i have CyberTrader and InteractiveBrokers as well
[08:53] {lklarson} ok, thx
[08:54] {craigaudio} DISH B/O
[08:54] {Roman} but it looks like Laser has best short availability of any one
[08:54] {Threei} everyone is so complicated... I feel inferior with my single broker, no indicators, no fancy ways of sending order... {G}
[08:55] {lklarson} will definately make plans to change, just missing to many trades
[08:55] {craigaudio} yes all this technology is taking out on my poor hamster powering the generator wheel
[08:55] {Threei} that could be a bad idea lkl
[08:56] {craigaudio} the shorting thing doesnt bother me so much
[08:56] {Threei} with superior fills and shiort availability you will lose a reason to complain
[08:56] {lklarson} true:)
[08:56] {Threei} (feel free to slap me)
[08:56] {craigaudio} ive just had half a dozen bad fills and other glitches
[08:56] {lklarson} I'll find something else to complain about, lol
[08:57] {Threei} yeah, Dave is always here
[08:57] {DaveG} lol
[08:58] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:58] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:58] {Threei} hmmm
[08:58] {Threei} again... why would one feel a need to slap me when dave is around...
[08:59] {lklarson} good thing since I do not even know how to slap people around
[08:59] {Roman} AAPL Apple: iPhone delayed until October, Leopard delayed again until January - Engadget (106.80 )

[09:00] {Threei} wasn't directed to you, but OK, I can see how you could take it as an invitation
[09:01] {Threei} don't do it craig
[09:01] {craigaudio} no not after yesterday
[09:01] {DaveG} aapl is evil
[09:01] {Threei} your fingers barely healed from last knife catching session
[09:01] {craigaudio} yes yesterday was a bummer
[09:02] {craigaudio} plus when i shorted appl and the n it bounced!
[09:02] {craigaudio} aapl was much nicer under 90. less volatile
[09:03] {Threei} {Adam} AAPL is evil
[09:06] {craigaudio} praise the lord
[09:07] {magoo} vad, loss of .50 new brcm short trigger or not so good?

[09:09] {Threei} better keep stops tight at this time

[09:42] {Threei} valid play
[09:43] {craigaudio} would be nice to get NQ drop. look at the 60min. could fill gap from 30 march
[09:43] {craigaudio} but not getting carried away
[09:47] {craigaudio} not working. stop to .60
[09:48] {craigaudio} looks like could be bounce. volume coming in

[09:59] {Threei} NQ is upticking stubbornly
[09:59] {craigaudio} you think a good approach. i sometimes add to a position when it comes close to my stop
[09:59] {Threei} we are trying to swim against the current so far
[09:59] {craigaudio} damn
[09:59] {Threei} stopped
[09:59] {Threei} no, I don't
[09:59] {Threei} we talked about it yesterday

[10:10] {craigaudio} not really
[10:10] {Threei} just trying to understand how your trading plan shapes up
[10:11] {craigaudio} after yesterday...i decided not to take bounces on stocks that have bad news and also the NQ is trending down also
[10:12] {craigaudio} not missing all bounces in a market thats currently not downtrend

[05:38] {Threei} good morning guys :)
[05:38] {Roman} morning Vad
[05:38] {Threei} hi :)
[05:38] {craigaudio} if i have a company im interested in. how do i find when it next reports its results? apart from on their website.
[05:38] {gabby} gm vad
[05:39] {Threei} gabby :)
[05:39] {DaveG} yahoo craig
[05:39] {craigaudio} i use yahoo finance at the moment but cant find that information on the site
[05:39] {DaveG} oh
[05:39] {Roman} http://earnings.com
[05:40] {craigaudio} thanks roman. currently writing my step by step approach to putting on swings. thats one of my stages
[05:41] {Roman} i see
[05:42] {craigaudio} not rushing into swings at the moment though. obviously not til ive finished my research
[05:44] {Roman} what do you look for in a typical swing setup?
[05:44] {craigaudio} not sure yet. im formulating an approach. still work in progress.
[05:45] {craigaudio} maybe you can advise me. what do you look for?
[05:45] {Roman} 1st to make some $$$ :)
[05:45] {Threei} obvious answer would be "profit"... probably not what Roma is asking though :)
[05:45] {Threei} lol
[05:45] {DaveG} blondes
[05:45] {craigaudio} jeez i thought we were talking stocks not swingers parties
[05:46] {Threei} Dave is abusing Raven being distracted lately
[05:46] {Roman} hey Dave if you win that CNBC challange, you'll definately do well with Blondes
[05:46] {DaveG} :)
[05:46] {Threei} he won't Roman... remember you and I already shared his future winning
[05:46] {Threei} not leabing much for him
[05:46] {Roman} craig: I like setups such as USEG
[05:46] {Roman} uptranding charts
[05:47] {magoo} morning
[05:47] {Threei} magoo :)
[05:48] {craigaudio} im thinking of first looking at the charts to get swing candidates. then doing some simple fundamental research to make sure the company isnt going bankrupt or anything
[05:48] {craigaudio} so i dont get any unfortunate surprises
[05:49] {Roman} good idea, but the chart will alert you of any issues in advance (better than reading the balance sheet)
[05:49] {Roman} IMO
[05:49] {craigaudio} yes
[05:50] {Roman} but it's a good practice to check fundamentals anyway
[05:50] {Roman} what's your hold on typical swing?
[05:50] {craigaudio} yes. just simple stuff. not too much overhead. thats what im trying to put in step by step procedure to streamline the process
[05:50] {Roman} timewise
[05:51] {DaveG} i'll sell you my cnbc method
[05:51] {Roman} look at this guy, not only he gets $1mil, he is selling products in here too
[05:51] {Roman} unreal
[05:51] {DaveG} lol
[05:51] {gabby} AMGN little bounce
[05:51] {craigaudio} yes make it faster as im lazy and its boring isnt it... look at PE, assets v's liabilities,...just simple checks
[05:52] {Threei} he is acting wise Roman... he prepares back-up source of income in case we really grab his winning
[05:52] {Threei} (which we will)
[05:52] {Roman} nice :)

[09:39] {_davegroom} Now that it is slow I've got a question about sizing. Because I'm trading paper and not in the real market is it realistic to put in a lot say around 3000 shares in NUAN for example and hide it in a reserve num
[09:40] {Threei} sure
[09:40] {dino} fwiw, mostly i trade 700 lots

[11:16] {dino} shfl stopped-.29
[11:16] {craigaudio} thnaks for that vad BRCM
[11:16] {Threei} welcome
[11:16] {magoo} nice pix vad
[11:17] {craigaudio} need to rein in my other sparadic trades to get consistent
[11:18] {Threei} I guess that was... looked at e-mail I read it in, doesn't look legit
[11:24] {Threei} DRYS hit 1:1 earlier too in case anyone went for it
[11:24] * Threei dislocates his shoulder trying to pat himself on a back
[11:25] {magoo} nice work
[11:25] {magoo} stick with it boss
[11:26] {Threei} OK, so no acknowledgment of 3:3 in a few minutes (except magoo whom I wholeheartedly thank), and no laugh at my another lame joke??
[11:26] {Threei} what is fella to do to wake you up
[11:26] {magoo} [14:16] {magoo} nice pix vad
[11:26] {magoo} [14:17] {craigaudio} need to r
[11:26] {magoo} [14:25] {magoo} nice work
[11:27] {Threei} read in brackets :)
[11:27] {magoo} i just wanted to give you more : )
[11:27] {Threei} cool, ty :)
[11:27] {Threei} oh, I know what is going to make me feel better
[11:27] * Threei slaps DaveG around a bit with a large trout
[11:28] {Threei} I think NQ is about done dropping
[11:29] {Threei} watching for bounce on it to sacalp BRCM on a long side
[11:29] {Threei} in
[11:29] {Threei} .18
[11:29] {magoo} out brcm here now .17 TY
[11:30] {Threei} very tight stop .14
[11:30] {Threei} welcome
[11:30] {Threei} here comes NQ bounce, right on que
[11:30] {Threei} let's see if BRCM follows
[11:31] {Threei} hey I have 1:1 {G}
[11:32] {_davegroom} what symbol is the NQ
[11:33] {craigaudio} have you taken 1:1
[11:33] {craigaudio} ?
[11:33] {Threei} no, 4 cents on 1L shares is not my idea of profiting :)
[11:33] {Threei} 1K
[11:33] {_davegroom} trying to add to my watch indicators
[11:34] {_davegroom} 1k?
[11:34] {Threei} if you have futures feed, it's something like /NQM7
[11:34] {craigaudio} mine neither vad
[11:34] {_davegroom} thnks
[11:34] {Threei} different somewhat with different brokers
[11:34] {Threei} 1K = 1000 shares
[11:34] {craigaudio} my TS feed is NQM07 dave
[11:34] {_davegroom} ha! go tya
[11:34] {Threei} also, that was a play for NQ reversal, not just verey little bounce
[11:35] {Threei} so, with 4 cents stop I am willing to give it a chance to play out
[11:35] {Threei} and so far NQ behaves
[11:36] {Threei} now, first who tells me what clued into the coming reversal gets permission to slap DaveG
[11:36] {craigaudio} was the prior pivot from the start of the day
[11:37] {Threei} well, by itself it's just something to watch
[11:37] {Threei} but main thing that made me do it was,
[11:37] {Threei} unlike all previous drops, this last one occured on decereasing volume
[11:38] {Threei} remember this comment during a bounce:
[11:38] {Threei} [14:00] {Threei} volume almost disappeared on NQ bounce
[11:38] {Threei} [14:00] {Threei} come on, reverse
[11:38] {Threei} on that drop around 14:25 - 14:30 opposite happened
[11:38] {craigaudio} not wanting to bounce though
[11:38] {Threei} things work or they don't
[11:39] {Threei} nothing is 100%, but method doesn't change
[11:39] {craigaudio} yes
[11:40] {Threei} bounce came, stalled, then re-evalution by all the participants led to trend continuation instead of reversal
[11:40] {dino} cov clrk .87, +.70
[11:40] {Threei} awww DRYS
[11:42] {magoo} NICE DINO
[11:42] {Threei} very

[11:50] {_davegroom} should i short or should i long now...sounds like an 80's song
[11:51] {cosmo} 60's
[11:53] {Roman} SIMO short?
[11:54] {Roman} could bounce with NQ tho
[11:54] {Threei} tough call... no read
[11:57] {craigaudio} NQ still dropping
[11:57] {craigaudio} im short aapl .78
[11:59] {craigaudio} stopped

[12:09] {Threei} at least as long as I don't spell BRCM as BXMNF
[12:09] {lklarson} :)
[12:09] {Threei} for those newer in the game... BXMNF used to be symbol of infamous Bre-X
[12:10] {lklarson} sure theres a story behind that one, eh
[12:10] {Threei} and those who don't know what Bre-X was... you missed a LOT of fun

[08:00] esemde are you in cryp craig?
[08:00] craigaudio yes +.81
[08:00] DaveG i came in 5th in the contest, making the Finals
[08:00] esemde nice...
[08:00] craigaudio small share size though. testing waters on approach
[08:01] esemde what were you looking for?
[08:01] cosmo Dave.. i need to see you on the podium sometime
[08:01] DaveG gonna try :)
[08:02] cosmo :)
[08:02] craigaudio strong stocks showing weakness. when the smart money starts accumulating
[08:04] Roman GOAM spike
[08:04] Threei GLBL interesting
[08:05] _davegroom saw that
[08:05] Threei 23 melting long trigger with .89 stop/invaliadting level
[08:06] dino xfml
[08:06] Roman PEIX working it
[08:08] esemde Vad would you go for breakout at 23 or wait to test of support at .95
[08:09] Threei I would as long as it holds above .90
[08:09] craigaudio out half CRYP a dollar
[08:09] magoo RIMM weak
[08:09] esemde ...get in at support?
[08:09] Threei well... personal decision, to get in aggressively close to support on regular way on a break
[08:10] magoo any news RIMM?
[08:10] esemde depends on market as well?
[08:10] craigaudio rimm could easily drop 3 dollar today. looking at 15min support area
[08:10] Threei right
[08:11] magoo mkt feels vulnerable here
[08:11] dino mer stopped -.25
[08:11] esemde thanks for answering my questions.....just trying to get into your way of thinking
[08:11] * magoo slaps esemde around a bit with a large trout
[08:12] esemde what.......whaaaaaaaa...... did I do?
[08:12] craigaudio was it dave who gave the aapl headsup earlier. you still in it? im looking at 108.77 target for second half
[08:12] DaveG im still short aapl
[08:13] Threei I am flattered by assumption I think
[08:13] dino vnda
[08:13] craigaudio wow vnda
[08:14] craigaudio i dont see news on it
[08:14] esemde after 7yrs of doing this....your way seems like only safe way to play the market...not in long enough to take big risks
[08:16] esemde am still swing trading...don't get me wrong....but am very very picky.
[08:17] esemde even then.........not the greatest results
[08:17] craigaudio possible short on GLBL if it breaks .84 Vad?
[08:18] Threei doesn't feel right somehow
[08:18] Threei not sure
[08:19] craigaudio k thanks
[08:20] magoo anyone still in amgn?
[08:20] craigaudio not me
[08:20] magoo i am, vad u?
[08:20] Threei no
[08:20] Threei 1:1 was it for me
[08:20] magoo ok
[08:21] magoo i was trying something different...trying toiget a little more
[08:22] craigaudio IIVI bounce if anyone dare
[08:24] Threei AMAT is 1: I lost count
[08:24] Threei rare move for this behemot
[08:25] Threei I'd start looking for short, this kind of stocks usually drops under its own weight
[08:25] Threei double top would be great
[08:27] craigaudio ttec taking a battering
[08:28] dino synl l .45
[08:34] DaveG covered aapl +.38
[08:36] esemde Vad...Zolt is back at that 36.50 am humming and hawing again...your opinion?
[08:37] craigaudio MA 60min head and shoulders?
[08:37] Threei it's so thin, hard to nail exact prices
[08:38] Threei lookms like resupmtion, or at leat bounce, yes
[08:38] Threei but to find right entry and stop is a challenge
[08:38] Threei AMAT back to high
[08:38] Threei if no new hagh, .54 is short trigger
[08:39] esemde opps have missed it agian .....I think this is a sign...
[08:42] craigaudio amat looks like triggering. not made new high for awhile
[08:42] Threei .63 stop
[08:42] DaveG caas
[08:43] magoo full ot
[08:44] Roman full lot what magoo?
[08:44] magoo amat vad
[08:44] dino onxx
[08:44] Threei with 7 cents stop... double for me
[08:46] dino rvbd l .17
[08:47] Threei decide already AMAT, are you coming or going
[08:48] magoo did it trigger?
[08:48] Threei no
[08:48] magoo thats what i thought
[08:48] Threei 1 cent from trigger, now 1 cent from invalidation
[08:48] Threei good, definbes the range better
[08:49] Threei invalidated
[08:53] craigaudio out quart aapl. broke the 109 area at last
[08:54] craigaudio thanks for the headsup earlier dave. ive found that aapl does like to fill the gap
[08:55] DaveG reshorted aapl
[08:55] craigaudio YM holding better than the NQ
[08:58] Threei LCAPA small shares short under .70 if holding below .80
[08:59] craigaudio strange one for you to pick vad
[09:00] Threei OK... PETM 33 short if stays under 33.20
[09:00] Threei less strange :)
[09:00] craigaudio :-)
[09:00] esemde CYPB thin but may go somewhere
[09:01] esemde up against highs
[09:01] dino out synl .94, +.49
[09:01] Threei half lot PETM
[09:01] _davegroom AMAT going off
[09:01] Threei a bit thin
[09:02] Threei let big bid at 33 melt befor you take position
[09:03] Threei LCAL invalidated
[09:03] Threei LCAPA
[09:06] _davegroom AMAT topping?
[09:07] _davegroom (not in it)
[09:07] Threei I am very tempted
[09:07] Threei no clear indications yet though
[09:08] craigaudio added to aapl short on the bounce
[09:10] craigaudio difficult to short AMAT esp when its been defying the NQ
[09:10] Threei either it gives readable setup or not
[09:12] craigaudio KEM daily pullback to support.
[09:13] dino ebay stop to b/e
[09:15] DaveG we need a naz drop for this craig
[09:15] craigaudio if i crouch down behind him you push
[09:16] DaveG lol
[09:16] Threei lol
[09:16] craigaudio well the add has worked for once. adding to a postion i find the most difficult proposition
[09:16] dino ebay out +.03
[09:16] DaveG me too
[09:17] DaveG pppuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssshhhhhhhhhh
[09:17] Threei where do you add to position, craig?
[09:17] Threei when it moves in your favor, or against you?
[09:18] craigaudio 109.02. i was trying to hold out for .10 but didnt think it was going to reach and it didnt
[09:18] Threei no, I mean in general, as a strategy
[09:18] craigaudio id add on a pullback if long
[09:18] _davegroom Kind of hard to short AMAT since its been in an uptrend for the most part...
[09:18] craigaudio or on a bounce if shorting
[09:19] Threei this very rarely works for me
[09:19] Threei I don't do that
[09:19] craigaudio although i have sometimes added on a break. usually if its a whole number
[09:19] magoo i add going up
[09:19] _davegroom got ya
[09:19] craigaudio you know i like that hocus pocus
[09:19] Threei if I go for partial entry in order to add later, it would be when a stock moves in my favor and defines next setup
[09:20] Threei kind of:
[09:20] Threei if a stock moves against me, I am not proved right yet, and closer to being wrong,
[09:21] Threei why would I want to increase my exposure.
[09:21] Threei If it proves me right, I may want to increase it
[09:22] DaveG let me make room in my corner craig
[09:22] DaveG :)
[09:22] craigaudio :-)
[09:22] craigaudio yes i see your view Vad. the other is to try to buy value
[09:23] craigaudio for me yet to get used to adding.
[09:24] craigaudio when i see a profit i like to take it. i think adding is a trade that takes experience
[09:24] craigaudio and confidence
[09:25] craigaudio MEE
[09:30] Threei come on PETM, trigger
[09:31] Threei stop would be .11 if sets up from here
[09:31] craigaudio people pressing the ejct on MEE

[11:45] Threei cut
[11:46] craigaudio yes. with the market as it is. was a silly move
[11:46] Threei such drop is the same in ay market

[11:59] craigaudio yes i read the news afterwards. lesson learned. bounces like that should always check the story
[12:01] Threei with such vicious selloffs, always check the newzs
