[08:58] {dino} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} dino :)
[08:59] {dino} good news and bad news on the trading front
[08:59] {Threei} ?
[09:00] {dino} ok, since vacation, 10 days of trading. good news all positive
[09:00] {dino} bad news, only 72% of daily goal
[09:00] {dino} so, i need to adapt a bit
[09:01] {Threei} alternatively,
[09:01] {Threei} it could be simply an outcome of abnormally volatile markets
[09:02] {dino} i have mentioned that to magoo, but he cuts me no slack whatsoever
[09:02] {Threei} if that's the case, adjustments should be light, in order not to overdo it
[09:02] {Threei} and face troubles as market returns to norm
[09:03] {Threei} I am a bit wary of attempts to overhaul too big part of approach with each market turn
[09:03] {dino} thinking the same, i understand. there is one other factor, i am trading smaller size because of the whips
[09:03] {dino} that could be it
[09:03] {Threei} when radical things happen then yes, deviation from old norm are too big
[09:03] {Threei} for instance, when market went to decimals from fractions
[09:03] {Threei} that was kind of big and permanent change
[09:04] {Threei} gotta adjust or wilt and die
[09:04] {dino} y
[09:04] {Threei} current change is simply change of market conditions, we go through those all the time
[09:04] {Threei} logical chain is exactly as you said,
[09:04] {Threei} increased volatility made you control risk tighter bu decreasing size
[09:05] {Threei} which in turn led to diminished return
[09:05] {GeoArb} good morning
[09:05] {Threei} Geo
[09:05] {magoo} TMA vad, news
[09:06] {dino} that is most likely the cause. ty vad
[09:06] {Threei} Inc Proposes up to $1.35B private placement of Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, due 2015; suspends dividend on preferred stock
[09:06] {Threei} - The deal includes an interest rate of 18%, adjusted to 12% upon the satisfaction by the company of certain conditions.
[09:06] {Threei} - The proceeds of this proposed private placement are intended to satisfy a key contingency of the Override Agreement Thornburg Mortgage announced on March 19, whereby the company agreed to raise a minimum of net proceeds of $948M in new capital on or before March 27.
[09:06] {Threei} - Additionally, the company will be conducting a tender offer for at least 90% of its outstanding preferred stock at a price of $5 per $25 of liquidation value, plus, upon shareholder approval of additional authorized shares, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5% of the company's common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (reducing the private placement investors' interest to 85%), or, if shareholder approval is not obtained, alternative consideration.
[09:07] {Threei} radical change is something that makes me uneasy dino... natural for people from the country that went through revolution of 1917 {G}
[09:08] {dino} y
[09:08] {Threei} if things simply don't work, OK.... reworking is needed
[09:09] {Threei} not your case by any stretch of imagination
[09:12] {Threei} be back in 5
[09:18] {Threei} not much enthusiasm on SIRI/XMSR
[09:18] {Threei} buyer at 3.80 will have to put it in long term account it seems

[09:25] {Threei} yes
[09:25] {Threei} 1.80 - 2 range so far

[11:24] {dino} l sm ave .35

[11:30] {bruce} looking good so far - not in yet
[11:35] {dino} idcc
[11:36] {bruce} yes - saw the spike
[11:36] {magoo} solf hitting scanner
[11:37] {Threei} yeah, invalidated our setup earlier... not a breakout stock
[11:37] {Threei} moves off pullbacks, fails breakouts
[11:38] {Threei} if this pattern holds, will look for entry around .50
[11:40] {GeoArb} hi, quick Q, I have the four scanners... is it among them or custom?
[11:40] {Threei} NOKIA CFO: LESS OPTIMISTIC THAN IDCC IN SETTLEMENT, MARKET MAY HAVE 'OVERESTIMATED' CHANCES OF SETTLEMENT WITH CO. - INTERVIEW COMMENTS

[11:45] {Threei} with .14 stop?
[11:45] {bruce} yes - small - probaly won't move far
[11:45] {Threei} pretty much market dependent...
[11:46] {Threei} and market is a wierdo here
[11:47] {bruce} aint it always?
[11:48] {Threei} lol
[11:48] {Threei} sometimes it's a wierdo with patterns of wierdness, and sometimes it's a plain wierdo
[11:48] {Threei} right now it's a plain wierdo
[11:49] {magoo} remember when...............
[11:49] {magoo} weirdo= queer=gay=sex=
[11:50] {bruce} lol - \
[11:50] {bruce} leave it to mags
[11:51] {Threei} SOLF pullback was too shallow for me to enter... too bad
[11:52] {Threei} I would put it this way:
[11:53] {Threei} when you have determination in market you get much more easy to read trades
[11:53] {Threei} it's like market has a mission
[11:53] {Threei} today it doesn't so far,
[11:53] {Threei} it's more like waiting for something
[11:53] {bruce} a mission - like mags raiding ber fridge?
[11:54] {Threei} exactly
[11:54] {Threei} dertermination, purpose, decisive pace
[11:54] {Threei} eyes on a target
[11:55] {bruce} k - yes a bear stalking a beer
[11:55] {Threei} beer be gotten
[11:55] {bruce} single minded focus and purpose
[11:56] {magoo} hiccup : )
[11:59] {Threei} ok, that's the ultimate iroy in my eyes:
[12:00] {Threei} irony
[12:00] {Threei} 11:50am [UPS] Hearing taken off of Focus List at Bear Stearns
[12:01] {magoo} the cat watching the cannary he he
[12:01] {Threei} just how seriously can estimates be taken when they are coming from a company that steered its own action in such disastrous way
[12:19] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[12:19] {Threei} let it pullback, don't chase
[12:20] {Threei} stop under .30

[14:20] {magoo} i did not enter
[14:21] {Threei} OK, just thought maybe running comments were needed
[14:21] {magoo} was looking at rimm short scalp..no in tho
[14:23] {Threei} don't misunderstand me please:
[14:24] {Threei} I am not calling for SEED entry
[14:24] {Threei} if I were I would do it when I entered
[14:24] {Threei} it's very risky one and most likely not a daytrade
[14:25] {magoo} i scalped .17 cents on your very very first call off 6...thats it
[14:25] {Threei} wow really?
[14:25] {Threei} cool :)

Session Time: Mon Mar 24 00:00:00 2008
[08:27] {Onix} Good morning
[08:28] {Threei} morning Onix
[09:03] {Threei} BSC offer is getting upped to 10
[09:04] {Threei} rarely do you see such an open robbery
[09:05] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:05] {Threei} Geo :)
[09:06] {magoo} morning
[09:06] {Threei} magoo :)
[09:09] {lumdus} vad, what i thought all along. and now there will be happys seller ofbsc shares. it was obvious that this will go up from the 4.00 point
[09:09] {lumdus} you didn't like my analysis but i told you i know how to write for the WSJ :)
[09:11] {Threei} I didn't like? I thought I told you to go right ahead and write for them :)
[09:12] {lumdus} but you didn't follow my analysis to buy and hold it.. did you ?
[09:12] {Threei} I don't buy and hold
[09:12] {lumdus} vad, you don't buy and hold, you don't buy bb stocks.. maybe you need to change your lifestyle ?
[09:12] {Threei} or maybe I don't? :)
[09:13] {Threei} my current one works for me alright
[09:13] {lumdus} but improving is always good. you know if you have a million dollar you want 2
[09:14] {Threei} yeah, I guess... but ashes of those who bought and held BSC in 80s knock in my heart
[09:14] {dino} gm all
[09:14] {Threei} dino :)
[09:15] {dptl} good morning all
[09:15] {hawkfan4} morning all
[09:15] {Threei} dp, hawk :)
[09:19] {Threei} I don't want even to start imagining how BSC holders who sold around 2 feel now
[09:20] {Threei} and who is to say 10 is final offer
[09:20] {cosmo} yea...wait until its priced in ameros...
[09:21] {dino} how would you like to be a short
[09:21] {lumdus} so the hedge funds who bought at 5.00 thinking they losing money just so they can vote are making millions now.
[09:21] {bruce} morning dino- watching crzo as possible reversal candidate

[09:25] {Threei} so what's next. TMA going back to 5?
[09:25] {Threei} notice that BSC went above 10 earlier
[09:26] {Threei} there are probably speculators believing 10 is not final
[09:26] {cosmo} IDCC: said on Monday it was in settlement talks with leading cell-phone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) and that the companies have made substantial progress toward resolving all of their disputes.

[09:54] {Threei} called it as a swing trade twice
[09:55] {Threei} details are coming in
[09:55] {Threei} - Under the revised terms, each share of Bear Stearns common stock would be exchanged for 0.21753 shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock (up from 0.05473 shares), reflecting an implied value of approximately $10 per share of Bear Stearns common stock based on the closing price of JPMorgan Chase common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 20, 2008.
[09:55] {Threei} - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York''s $30B special financing associated with the transaction has also been amended so that JPMorgan Chase will bear the first $1B of any losses associated with the Bear Stearns assets being financed and the Fed will fund the remaining $29B on a non-recourse basis to JPMorgan Chase.
[09:56] {curtisweese} l aapl 134.50 stop 134.18 or so for me
[09:56] {Threei} - CEO: "We believe the amended terms are fair to all sides and reflect the value and risks of the Bear Stearns franchise, and bring more certainty for our respective shareholders, clients, and the marketplace. We look forward to a prompt closing and being able to operate as one company."

[10:09] {Threei} if fall back to 1 x goal, stop trading for the day
[10:10] {curtisweese} hmmm...okay....yeah...that is a good plan....i need the discipline to not give it back!
[10:10] {Threei} you trade for profits, so protect them
[10:11] {dino} exactlllllyyyyyy
[10:12] {Threei} and if you trade for excitement, I'd suggest to think of alternative source for that so market remains what it should be - source of profit

[11:50] {curtisweese} lol
[11:51] {Threei} that's a tough one
[11:51] {Threei} try to determine the price, lol
[11:51] {Threei} and JPM is likely to take over XMSR in that case?

[12:40] {bruce} fmcn sto-p at .65 orso dino?
[12:41] {bruce} he's got professor in his corner dp
[12:42] {dino} y
[12:43] {curtisweese} talking heads are pumping rimm right now
[12:44] {Threei} btw guys, follow-up to previous post:
[12:44] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/03/can-you-afford-to-be-wrong-for-too-long.html
[12:44] {Threei} leave RIMM alone until it consolidates and breaks 112, and go read it
[12:47] {Threei} RIMM becomes good candidate if breaks while holdin'g above .70
[12:48] {magoo} 12 trigger?
[12:48] {Threei} 112
[12:51] {curtisweese} yay...msft is going to break HOD...come on! make me look smart
[12:52] {Threei} lol
[12:52] {Threei} curtis, when you are done with MSFT dcc me please
[12:52] {curtisweese} doh!!! it hit it and bounced off like a rubber ball :(
[12:52] {Threei} ah come on RIMM, trigger already
[12:53] {curtisweese} i break HOD, you break 112...deao
[12:53] {curtisweese} deal i mean
[12:53] {Threei} and don't forget to go to 113 when you do
[12:53] {Threei} 114 won't offend me either
[12:53] {Chaeron} (120)
[12:53] {Threei} that will be rather rude
[12:53] {Threei} since there is no way I would be able to keep it for that long :)
[12:54] {dino} stopped fmcn
[12:54] {Chaeron} shoot
[12:54] {bruce} yes - same dino
[12:54] {Threei} yeah, invalidated for now
[12:55] {bruce} fmcn may bounce long near here
[12:56] {dino} maybe
[12:56] {curtisweese} vad, will you look at msft...should i get out now? i doubled down at 29.10 so my average is about 29.15 at the moment.....it is at top now, so confused on what to ...hahah..i'm usually at bottom
[12:56] {Threei} you know what
[12:56] {curtisweese} my stop is now 29.22
[12:56] {Threei} doubling down is so bad thing to do,
[12:57] {curtisweese} well..there were other reasons
[12:57] {Threei} bounce that makes you even or profitable must be taken as a gift
[12:57] {Threei} and taekn with gratitude
[12:57] {curtisweese} good point
[12:57] {Threei} no matter what happens next
[12:57] {Threei} in overwhelming majority of cases averaging down is getting punished
[12:59] {Threei} curtis, dcc please
[13:00] {bruce} iesc may be short try again
[13:00] {bruce} eqix too dino
[13:00] {curtisweese} threei, i tried, but i'm doing it wrong i guess. click on your name, then dcc then...?
[13:00] {Threei} just doubleclick on my name
[13:01] {Threei} window will pop up
[13:01] {Threei} type in it
[13:05] {patience} gm RT :) Bruce, when you have a moment, please dcc
[13:05] {dino} most likely bruce, i'm just getting rinsed all day
[13:06] {dino} look fmcn now, sheesh
[13:06] {dino} brb
[13:07] {bruce} yes - watching - moved enough to stup us then continue
[13:07] {curtisweese} okay, back from my dcc where threei taught me the secrets of the market
[13:09] {curtisweese} market wants to go higher still?! wow
[13:10] {Threei} hard to say here
[13:10] {Threei} hesitates
[13:16] {Threei} guys, who is using laser,
[13:16] {Threei} have a look at V daily please
[13:16] {magoo} me
[13:17] {Threei} do you see crazy spike on its first day or your daily is normal?
[13:17] {Chaeron} normal
[13:17] {magoo} norm
[13:17] {Threei} hmmm... just me then
[13:17] {Threei} ty
[13:17] {judijim} we use laser also
[13:17] {Chaeron} even tho when I scroll over it it shows a hi of 199,000
[13:18] {Chaeron} that was my buy
[13:18] {Chaeron} :)
[13:18] {Threei} lol
[13:18] {curtisweese} lol!!
[13:18] {Laserdave1} yoru buy?
[13:18] {Chaeron} only 100shares... it's ok
[13:18] {Laserdave1} it was my sell
[13:18] {Chaeron} great job Dave :)
[13:18] {Laserdave1} why ty:)
[13:23] {Threei} BSC, 50/50 trade:
[13:24] {Threei} .99 short, .11 stop
[13:24] {Threei} only if you feel like going for coin toss
[13:24] {dino} iesc you were right bruce
[13:24] {curtisweese} you didn't short up around 13 because it was risky to keep going up at that point?
[13:25] {Threei} just didn't see any setup, and it was scorching hot
[13:26] {Threei} calmed down a bit now... still can pick up the pace, but stop is tight enough here
[13:26] {bruce} yes - hope you got it
[13:28] {Threei} invalidated
[13:32] {Threei} meaningless wandering within a channel... rather a scalp from low to high and back than breakout/breakdown at this point
[13:33] {Threei} we had a very good morning, no need to press now
[13:34] {Threei} keeping an eye on ESLR
[13:34] {Threei} no firm idea of a trade yet
[13:37] {curtisweese} bsc down at 12 again
[13:47] {curtisweese} my stop on msft is at 29.25...don't hit it!!! lol
[13:56] {magoo} vad, AAPL & RIMM
[13:57] {Threei} no read on either mags
[13:59] {Threei} RIMM needs 112 broken to become frenzied player again
[14:00] {Threei} but it's way too far from there
[14:00] {Threei} if market spikes, can take it aggressively of course
[14:00] {Threei} 60 break...
[14:00] {Threei} if holding above .40
[14:01] {Threei} so-so play, honestly
[14:01] {Threei} BSC however... picks up pace again
[14:03] {Threei} good thing RIMM invalidated
[14:03] {Threei} I would be fighting myself to take that trade
[14:04] {dino} eqix s break of .50
[14:06] {dino} infn sm s .70
[14:11] {judijim} what about amzn if hits 77.00
[14:11] {curtisweese} doh my stop is in jeopardy at 29.25....hold on bill hold on
[14:13] {judijim} forget amzn, we were watching:(
[14:17] {Threei} way too far from there, AMZN
[14:31] {Threei} watching GILD
[14:32] {Threei} .94 long if stays above .80
[14:39] {curtisweese} back!
[14:40] {curtisweese} ohhh.....bill has his company at the HOD, but can he break it.....stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode
[14:40] {curtisweese} i'm trying not to trade so much, but i'm just bored now :(
[14:41] {Threei} uh oh
[14:41] {Threei} bored curtis - that's something to be scared of
[14:41] {lumdus} curtis, better to be a bored rich man that a poor active man. In short, don't trade because you are bored. Go pick on your wife instead ..
[14:42] {curtisweese} hahhaah......look at msft....i should unload probably here....hmmmmm....i have held it for hours
[14:42] {bruce} hmm vad - that doesn't sound like a winningstrategy either
[14:42] {bruce} how about fighting w neighbour?
[14:42] {Threei} neither does kicking your cat
[14:43] {curtisweese} i have two cats! here kitty kitty...help me break the HOD
[14:43] {Threei} and I would take great offense on behalf of cat
[14:44] {dino} lol lum
[14:44] {curtisweese} woot! got it finally...now what....lol i just want msft to be up half as much as nasdaq :(
[14:44] {curtisweese} i mean percentagewise, not pointwise
[14:45] {Threei} points would be even better
[14:45] {curtisweese} hahah...moved my stop up to .29....lockin in profits Vaddy-D style!
[14:46] {Threei} lock'em da profits
[14:46] {Threei} da profits are to be locked
[14:48] {curtisweese} that BSC short would have been nice at 12 :(
[14:48] {curtisweese} prolly still nice at 11.73, but i'm chicken
[14:49] {Threei} it went to 12.50 before triggering
[14:49] {Threei} where would you place a stop...
[14:49] {curtisweese} losing like 20k
[14:50] {Threei} WM
[14:50] {Threei} S&P RAISES O/C LEVEL FOR WAMU'S COVERD BOND AAA RATINGS, AFIRMS RATING
[14:51] {Threei} uh oh

[14:51] {Chaeron} oi

[14:51] {lumdus} did jim cramer suggest to buy BSC ?
[14:51] {Threei} if history is any indication... RIMM goes to 60 {G}
[14:51] {Threei} yes lum...
[14:52] {curtisweese} stopped out of msft made $.18 sheesh that took awhile
[14:52] {Threei} beter than poke in the eye
[14:54] {Threei} GILD invalidated

[15:18] {Threei} not much indication either way
[15:20] {bruce} taking break
[15:25] {curtisweese} what about SIRI here at 3.07 ??
[15:25] {Threei} I don't like that it returned into this support again
[15:26] {Threei} it weas easy play first time around
[15:26] {Threei} coin toss this time
[15:27] {Threei} play to my liking would have been if it bottommed out at .15 and broke .21
[15:27] {curtisweese} looks like you are right
[15:28] {Threei} can you hear the scream of 3.89 buyer?
[15:28] {curtisweese} lol...yeah
[15:28] {Threei} market order on news...

[15:29] {curtisweese} here it goes again up.....hmmmm
[15:29] {Threei} dunno... I won't touch it
[15:30] {lumdus} curtis i have no analysis in my column today of bsc. unfortunately i got out at 10.00 instead of 13.85 but hey a good 7.00 is always a pleasure
[15:30] {curtisweese} yeah...i'd say you did alright!
[15:30] {Threei} pleasure?
[15:30] {Threei} that's understatement of the century
[15:31] {Threei} ecstatic joy is more like it, and even that is not reflective enough
[15:31] {lumdus} vad, i have to admit it. I was very nervous all weekend. went through at least 10 advils. wasn't easy at all. But it was well worth every single penny.. I couldn't trade today in my regular account since i maxed out with a margin call on my bsc shares.
[15:32] {Threei} what can I say... all is well that ends well
[15:32] {lumdus} had to use my charles schwab account using street pro crap
[15:32] {curtisweese} wow....you made a killing though....take a break for sure!
[15:33] {lumdus} always looking for the next killing.
[15:36] {dptl} i had uneasy weekend too....bearly sober for three days:)
[15:37] {Threei} meaning, tough hangover?
[15:37] {lumdus} i tried that on friday, wasn't too easy.
[15:37] {dptl} yep...lol
[15:37] {Threei} told ya bathtub vodka no good for your health
[15:38] {dptl} lol
[15:39] {Threei} .15 - .21 setup is back on SIRI
[15:43] {Chaeron} SIRI teasing us
[15:43] {dptl} 17 min left...
[15:44] {Threei} TILL YOUR NEXT SHOT DP? {g}
[15:44] {Threei} sorry caps
[15:44] {dptl} roflol......having beer.....
[15:44] {Threei} yeah... don't drink and trade
[15:45] {Chaeron} so even tho he's on his 7th beer, that doesn't count?
[15:45] {Threei} it doesn't, simply because he can't count after 5th
[15:46] {Chaeron} heheheh
[15:46] {dptl} lol
[15:46] {curtisweese} l aapl 139 super tight stop...just an end of day try and trade
[15:47] {Threei} XMSR trying to break 14, should help SIRI is does
[15:47] {curtisweese} nice....that will get me closer to my entry at 3.89
[15:48] {curtisweese} just kiddin
[15:48] {Threei} lol
[15:49] {Threei} come on XMSR... on behalf of buyer above 15, could you at least break 14?

[15:53] {curtisweese} weird that msft didnt move anywhere today
[15:54] {dptl} ooo good to know...:)
[15:55] {curtisweese} jeez i set my stop barely too tight on that last aapl trade.....it hit and executed and then stock goes up.....70
[15:55] {curtisweese} i think i sold at the low...sweeeeeet

[09:04] {Threei} rarely do you see such an open robbery
[09:05] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:05] {Threei} Geo :)
[09:06] {magoo} morning
[09:06] {Threei} magoo :)
[09:09] {lumdus} vad, what i thought all along. and now there will be happys seller ofbsc shares. it was obvious that this will go up from the 4.00 point
[09:09] {lumdus} you didn't like my analysis but i told you i know how to write for the WSJ :)
[09:11] {Threei} I didn't like? I thought I told you to go right ahead and write for them :)
[09:12] {lumdus} but you didn't follow my analysis to buy and hold it.. did you ?
[09:12] {Threei} I don't buy and hold
[09:12] {lumdus} vad, you don't buy and hold, you don't buy bb stocks.. maybe you need to change your lifestyle ?
[09:12] {Threei} or maybe I don't? :)
[09:13] {Threei} my current one works for me alright
[09:13] {lumdus} but improving is always good. you know if you have a million dollar you want 2
[09:14] {Threei} yeah, I guess... but ashes of those who bought and held BSC in 80s knock in my heart
[09:14] {dino} gm all
[09:14] {Threei} dino :)
[09:15] {dptl} good morning all
[09:15] {hawkfan4} morning all
[09:15] {Threei} dp, hawk :)
[09:19] {Threei} I don't want even to start imagining how BSC holders who sold around 2 feel now
[09:20] {Threei} and who is to say 10 is final offer
[09:20] {cosmo} yea...wait until its priced in ameros...
[09:21] {dino} how would you like to be a short
[09:21] {lumdus} so the hedge funds who bought at 5.00 thinking they losing money just so they can vote are making millions now.
[09:21] {bruce} morning dino- watching crzo as possible reversal candidate

[09:25] {Threei} so what's next. TMA going back to 5?
[09:25] {Threei} notice that BSC went above 10 earlier
[09:26] {Threei} there are probably speculators believing 10 is not final
[09:26] {cosmo} IDCC: said on Monday it was in settlement talks with leading cell-phone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) and that the companies have made substantial progress toward resolving all of their disputes.
[09:26] {GeoArb} rumor jp bidding higher?

[09:35] {lumdus} does that mean it's bad or it's good ?
[09:35] {magoo} offer sacrifices to the trading gods
[09:36] {Threei} depends on what the news is
[09:36] {curtisweese} good i think...if you hold below 10
[09:36] {curtisweese} hopefully
[09:36] {GeoArb} probably good as rumor is jp upping offer
[09:36] {lumdus} as long as it doesn't go back to 4.50 i make money

[09:36] {magoo} look AAPL vad
[09:36] {lumdus} you think it could go below $4.50 ? ouch !

[09:54] {Threei} called it as a swing trade twice
[09:55] {Threei} details are coming in
[09:55] {Threei} - Under the revised terms, each share of Bear Stearns common stock would be exchanged for 0.21753 shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock (up from 0.05473 shares), reflecting an implied value of approximately $10 per share of Bear Stearns common stock based on the closing price of JPMorgan Chase common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 20, 2008.
[09:55] {Threei} - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York''s $30B special financing associated with the transaction has also been amended so that JPMorgan Chase will bear the first $1B of any losses associated with the Bear Stearns assets being financed and the Fed will fund the remaining $29B on a non-recourse basis to JPMorgan Chase.
[09:56] {curtisweese} l aapl 134.50 stop 134.18 or so for me
[09:56] {Threei} - CEO: "We believe the amended terms are fair to all sides and reflect the value and risks of the Bear Stearns franchise, and bring more certainty for our respective shareholders, clients, and the marketplace. We look forward to a prompt closing and being able to operate as one company."

[10:09] {Threei} if fall back to 1 x goal, stop trading for the day
[10:10] {curtisweese} hmmm...okay....yeah...that is a good plan....i need the discipline to not give it back!
[10:10] {Threei} you trade for profits, so protect them
[10:11] {dino} exactlllllyyyyyy
[10:12] {Threei} and if you trade for excitement, I'd suggest to think of alternative source for that so market remains what it should be - source of profit

[12:44] {Threei} btw guys, follow-up to previous post:
[12:44] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/03/can-you-afford-to-be-wrong-for-too-long.html
[12:44] {Threei} leave RIMM alone until it consolidates and breaks 112, and go read it
[12:47] {Threei} RIMM becomes good candidate if breaks while holdin'g above .70
[12:48] {magoo} 12 trigger?
[12:48] {Threei} 112
[12:51] {curtisweese} yay...msft is going to break HOD...come on! make me look smart
[12:52] {Threei} lol
[12:52] {Threei} curtis, when you are done with MSFT dcc me please
[12:52] {curtisweese} doh!!! it hit it and bounced off like a rubber ball :(
[12:52] {Threei} ah come on RIMM, trigger already
[12:53] {curtisweese} i break HOD, you break 112...deao
[12:53] {curtisweese} deal i mean
[12:53] {Threei} and don't forget to go to 113 when you do
[12:53] {Threei} 114 won't offend me either
[12:53] {Chaeron} (120)
[12:53] {Threei} that will be rather rude
[12:53] {Threei} since there is no way I would be able to keep it for that long :)
[12:54] {dino} stopped fmcn
[12:54] {Chaeron} shoot
[12:54] {bruce} yes - same dino
[12:54] {Threei} yeah, invalidated for now
[12:55] {bruce} fmcn may bounce long near here
[12:56] {dino} maybe
[12:56] {curtisweese} vad, will you look at msft...should i get out now? i doubled down at 29.10 so my average is about 29.15 at the moment.....it is at top now, so confused on what to ...hahah..i'm usually at bottom
[12:56] {Threei} you know what
[12:56] {curtisweese} my stop is now 29.22
[12:56] {Threei} doubling down is so bad thing to do,
[12:57] {curtisweese} well..there were other reasons
[12:57] {Threei} bounce that makes you even or profitable must be taken as a gift
[12:57] {Threei} and taekn with gratitude
[12:57] {curtisweese} good point
[12:57] {Threei} no matter what happens next
[12:57] {Threei} in overwhelming majority of cases averaging down is getting punished
[12:59] {Threei} curtis, dcc please
[13:00] {bruce} iesc may be short try again
[13:00] {bruce} eqix too dino
[13:00] {curtisweese} threei, i tried, but i'm doing it wrong i guess. click on your name, then dcc then...?

[13:18] {Chaeron} great job Dave :)
[13:18] {Laserdave1} why ty:)
[13:23] {Threei} BSC, 50/50 trade:
[13:24] {Threei} .99 short, .11 stop
[13:24] {Threei} only if you feel like going for coin toss
[13:24] {dino} iesc you were right bruce
[13:24] {curtisweese} you didn't short up around 13 because it was risky to keep going up at that point?
[13:25] {Threei} just didn't see any setup, and it was scorching hot
[13:26] {Threei} calmed down a bit now... still can pick up the pace, but stop is tight enough here
[13:26] {bruce} yes - hope you got it
[13:28] {Threei} invalidated
[13:32] {Threei} meaningless wandering within a channel... rather a scalp from low to high and back than breakout/breakdown at this point
[13:33] {Threei} we had a very good morning, no need to press now
[13:34] {Threei} keeping an eye on ESLR
[13:34] {Threei} no firm idea of a trade yet
[13:37] {curtisweese} bsc down at 12 again
[13:47] {curtisweese} my stop on msft is at 29.25...don't hit it!!! lol
[13:56] {magoo} vad, AAPL & RIMM
[13:57] {Threei} no read on either mags
[13:59] {Threei} RIMM needs 112 broken to become frenzied player again
[14:00] {Threei} but it's way too far from there
[14:00] {Threei} if market spikes, can take it aggressively of course
[14:00] {Threei} 60 break...
[14:00] {Threei} if holding above .40
[14:01] {Threei} so-so play, honestly
[14:01] {Threei} BSC however... picks up pace again
[14:03] {Threei} good thing RIMM invalidated
[14:03] {Threei} I would be fighting myself to take that trade
[14:04] {dino} eqix s break of .50
[14:06] {dino} infn sm s .70
[14:11] {judijim} what about amzn if hits 77.00
[14:11] {curtisweese} doh my stop is in jeopardy at 29.25....hold on bill hold on
[14:13] {judijim} forget amzn, we were watching:(
[14:17] {Threei} way too far from there, AMZN
[14:31] {Threei} watching GILD
[14:32] {Threei} .94 long if stays above .80
[14:39] {curtisweese} back!
[14:40] {curtisweese} ohhh.....bill has his company at the HOD, but can he break it.....stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode
[14:40] {curtisweese} i'm trying not to trade so much, but i'm just bored now :(
[14:41] {Threei} uh oh
[14:41] {Threei} bored curtis - that's something to be scared of
[14:41] {lumdus} curtis, better to be a bored rich man that a poor active man. In short, don't trade because you are bored. Go pick on your wife instead ..
[14:42] {curtisweese} hahhaah......look at msft....i should unload probably here....hmmmmm....i have held it for hours
[14:42] {bruce} hmm vad - that doesn't sound like a winningstrategy either
[14:42] {bruce} how about fighting w neighbour?
[14:42] {Threei} neither does kicking your cat
[14:43] {curtisweese} i have two cats! here kitty kitty...help me break the HOD
[14:43] {Threei} and I would take great offense on behalf of cat
[14:44] {dino} lol lum
[14:44] {curtisweese} woot! got it finally...now what....lol i just want msft to be up half as much as nasdaq :(
[14:44] {curtisweese} i mean percentagewise, not pointwise
[14:45] {Threei} points would be even better
[14:45] {curtisweese} hahah...moved my stop up to .29....lockin in profits Vaddy-D style!
[14:46] {Threei} lock'em da profits
[14:46] {Threei} da profits are to be locked
[14:48] {curtisweese} that BSC short would have been nice at 12 :(
[14:48] {curtisweese} prolly still nice at 11.73, but i'm chicken
[14:49] {Threei} it went to 12.50 before triggering
[14:49] {Threei} where would you place a stop...
[14:49] {curtisweese} losing like 20k
[14:50] {Threei} WM
[14:50] {Threei} S&P RAISES O/C LEVEL FOR WAMU'S COVERD BOND AAA RATINGS, AFIRMS RATING
[14:51] {Threei} uh oh
[14:51] {Threei} RIMM
[14:51] {Threei} JIM CRAMER MAKING POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THE STOCK - CNBC- Suggests buying stock ahead of next weeks earnings report.
[14:51] {Chaeron} oi

[14:51] {lumdus} did jim cramer suggest to buy BSC ?
[14:51] {Threei} if history is any indication... RIMM goes to 60 {G}
[14:51] {Threei} yes lum...
[14:52] {curtisweese} stopped out of msft made $.18 sheesh that took awhile
[14:52] {Threei} beter than poke in the eye
[14:54] {Threei} GILD invalidated
[14:55] {Threei} breakout on daily remains very attractrively looking, hopefully finishes close to high today and lets us in tomorrow
[14:55] {curtisweese} s aapl super tight stop
[14:58] {curtisweese} out aapl short made $.12
[14:59] {curtisweese} omg...out a second too early again...jeez
[15:03] {bruce} xmsr spike
[15:03] {Threei} XMSR
[15:03] {Threei} SIRI merger approval
[15:05] {Threei} XMSR/SIRI RECEIVES U.S. ANTITRUST APPROVAL; DOJ FINDS NO EVIDENCE OF HARM TO COMPETITION- deal still needs FCC approva
[15:05] {dino} cov eqix .00, +.50
[15:09] {curtisweese} s aapl 139.42 tight stop
[15:09] {curtisweese} out lost .13
[15:09] {Threei} SIRI practically baack into support
[15:10] {Threei} traded at 3 before news
[15:10] {Threei} looks scalpable with 2.95 stop
[15:11] {patience} bruce, please see dcc

[15:15] {Threei} and abbreviation dj jj looks so cute to me
[15:15] {Threei} sorry, meant: gj jj
[15:15] {Chaeron} "cute" .......... ?
[15:15] {Threei} proof of concept re: lousy typist
[15:16] {Threei} try to say it chaeron
[15:16] {Threei} rolls of the tongue
[15:18] {curtisweese} s nvda?
[15:18] {Threei} not much indication either way
[15:20] {bruce} taking break
[15:25] {curtisweese} what about SIRI here at 3.07 ??
[15:25] {Threei} I don't like that it returned into this support again
[15:26] {Threei} it weas easy play first time around
[15:26] {Threei} coin toss this time
[15:27] {Threei} play to my liking would have been if it bottommed out at .15 and broke .21
[15:27] {curtisweese} looks like you are right
[15:28] {Threei} can you hear the scream of 3.89 buyer?
[15:28] {curtisweese} lol...yeah
[15:28] {Threei} market order on news...
[15:28] {curtisweese} crazy that they get past a big hurdle with merger and then it dives
[15:29] {curtisweese} here it goes again up.....hmmmm
[15:29] {Threei} dunno... I won't touch it
[15:30] {lumdus} curtis i have no analysis in my column today of bsc. unfortunately i got out at 10.00 instead of 13.85 but hey a good 7.00 is always a pleasure
[15:30] {curtisweese} yeah...i'd say you did alright!
[15:30] {Threei} pleasure?
[15:30] {Threei} that's understatement of the century
[15:31] {Threei} ecstatic joy is more like it, and even that is not reflective enough
[15:31] {lumdus} vad, i have to admit it. I was very nervous all weekend. went through at least 10 advils. wasn't easy at all. But it was well worth every single penny.. I couldn't trade today in my regular account since i maxed out with a margin call on my bsc shares.
[15:32] {Threei} what can I say... all is well that ends well
[15:32] {lumdus} had to use my charles schwab account using street pro crap
[15:32] {curtisweese} wow....you made a killing though....take a break for sure!
[15:33] {lumdus} always looking for the next killing.
[15:36] {dptl} i had uneasy weekend too....bearly sober for three days:)
[15:37] {Threei} meaning, tough hangover?
[15:37] {lumdus} i tried that on friday, wasn't too easy.
[15:37] {dptl} yep...lol
[15:37] {Threei} told ya bathtub vodka no good for your health
[15:38] {dptl} lol
[15:39] {Threei} .15 - .21 setup is back on SIRI
[15:43] {Chaeron} SIRI teasing us
[15:43] {dptl} 17 min left...
[15:44] {Threei} TILL YOUR NEXT SHOT DP? {g}
[15:44] {Threei} sorry caps
[15:44] {dptl} roflol......having beer.....
[15:44] {Threei} yeah... don't drink and trade
[15:45] {Chaeron} so even tho he's on his 7th beer, that doesn't count?
[15:45] {Threei} it doesn't, simply because he can't count after 5th
[15:46] {Chaeron} heheheh
[15:46] {dptl} lol
[15:46] {curtisweese} l aapl 139 super tight stop...just an end of day try and trade
[15:47] {Threei} XMSR trying to break 14, should help SIRI is does
[15:47] {curtisweese} nice....that will get me closer to my entry at 3.89
[15:48] {curtisweese} just kiddin
[15:48] {Threei} lol
[15:49] {Threei} come on XMSR... on behalf of buyer above 15, could you at least break 14?
[15:49] {curtisweese} stopped out .12
[15:50] {Threei} who still hasn't read last two blog posts, you better do it after close today
[15:50] {Threei} or else

[15:53] {curtisweese} weird that msft didnt move anywhere today
[15:54] {dptl} ooo good to know...:)
[15:55] {curtisweese} jeez i set my stop barely too tight on that last aapl trade.....it hit and executed and then stock goes up.....70
[15:55] {curtisweese} i think i sold at the low...sweeeeeet

[09:03] {tomg} gm all
[09:03] {Threei} tom :)
[09:08] {esemde} good morning/

[09:10] {Threei} yup, Barrick
[09:10] {dino} gold lost about 6% yesterday, thats about $60/ounce
[09:10] {Threei} not gold stock... THE gold stock :)
[09:11] {dino} hmmmm, 3i getting emotional

[09:11] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:11] {Threei} geo :)
[09:11] {patience} gm btw :)
[09:12] {Threei} morning patience :)
[09:12] {dino} patience, your nick should be the oracle
[09:12] {patience} nope, i just spend alot of time reading lol
[09:13] {dino} :)
[09:13] {Threei} see... I always knew it was good for you to know letters and have the skill to put them together so they form words
[09:13] {Threei} also, to read makes us speak English good
[09:15] {Threei} (poor Raven)
[09:16] {Raven}

[09:17] {Threei} now, why would they do that
[09:20] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:20] {Threei} thtt :)
[09:22] {magoo} vad, quick ?
[09:22] {bruce} big drop into support bvn yesterday dino
[09:22] {magoo} when u make call..say loss of ..99
[09:23] {magoo} are u watching and entering manually or is there som limit order auto?
[09:23] {Threei} manually
[09:23] {Threei} you can set auto via OMS I believe
[09:23] {magoo} cause i keep missing enntries
[09:23] {magoo} have to chase a little
[09:23] {Threei} this is a matter of a stock being thick enough for entry
[09:23] {magoo} 'seems they are sitting and then woosh
[09:23] {Threei} not the manual vs auto
[09:24] {Threei} if there are no bids to hit, however you send it won't make a difference
[09:24] {magoo} like JPM sh last afternoon...u said like .99..woosh
[09:24] {Threei} that's why my limits are a bit beyond the price I want
[09:24] {magoo} it went thru it to .89 in blink.. i missed
[09:24] {bruce} isn't that the way it goes mags? - the ones that really break deciseively tend to best winners
[09:25] {bruce} but don't give muchchance to enter w/out chasing
[09:25] {Threei} it's simply a matter of defining how far you are willing to chase, setting order there and adjusting your size accordingly
[09:26] {Threei} if there are shares available at better price you'll get them
[09:26] {magoo} how far do u recommend chasing?..say on that JPM
[09:26] {Threei} if not, you'll get your limit
[09:26] {Threei} and if no shares even there, oh well
[09:26] {Threei} my usual is 3-5 cents
[09:26] {magoo} ok..
[09:26] {magoo} see V spike
[09:26] {Threei} if it wooshes by I wait a little for possible bounce
[09:27] {Threei} if it continues decisively not giving me a fill I cancel
[09:27] {dino} bvn commodity stock
[09:27] {bruce} k
[09:27] {bruce} pot as well - looks like reversal candidate
[09:29] {bruce} same pattern mon
[09:29] {magoo} vad, how come we haven't been playing QID lately?
[09:29] {Threei} you've seen much pattern following in NASDAQ chart? :)
[09:30] {dino} nov interesting, apol watching
[09:30] {bruce} k
[09:31] {dino} ibn downgrade
[09:31] {Threei} watching ABX bounce with idea of short at 43.05

[09:40] {Threei} MF .50 break short
[09:40] {Threei} over .65 invalidated
[09:41] {Threei} .61 stop

[09:46] {Threei} out balance
[09:47] {Threei} got greedy a bit
[09:47] {bruce} I'm not greedy
[09:47] {Threei} had bid for second half at .05
[09:47] {Threei} and thing bottomed at .08
[09:47] {bruce} I thought a drop to 8 was reasonable in it but gald I dumped when it started to spike
[09:48] {Threei} everyone forgot about VLNC swing trade alert from yesterday I am sure
[09:49] {bruce} ibn looks like possible long now dino
[09:50] {dino} thinking same
[09:51] {dino} no, cx that, was thinking bvn
[09:51] {dino} ibn, i want yo short near hod

[09:57] {dino} bvn sm l .34

[09:58] {Threei} it has no trigger
[09:58] {Threei} as close to 43 as you can get, small shares
[09:58] {Threei} so you would be comfortable with stop
[09:58] {bruce} k- wondered if you had entered it already vad
[09:58] {Threei} .73

[11:00] {Threei} I wouldn't count on more, this one requires sizeable rally to move bigger
[11:00] {Threei} rally very well may be in cards
[11:01] {Threei} but there is no really way to tell the odds
[11:02] {tomg} have to leave soon, better stay out
[11:02] {Threei} anyone took VLNC?
[11:03] {Threei} I didn't provide timely commentary on partialing out thinking that no one did

[11:06] {Threei} if tyhere was such certain pattern, everyone would use it and make milions in one day
[11:07] {Threei} question remains, who would have taken the other side of their sells
[11:07] {Threei} since pattern is so certain, why would anyone buy :)

[13:59] {curtisweese} lol
[13:59] {bruce} yes - too much risk of big pullback her
[13:59] {bruce} lol curtis
[14:00] {curtisweese} i have a super tight stop on aapl
[14:00] {bruce} you voluntering?
[14:00] {dino} lol
[14:00] {dino} brb
[14:00] {bruce} k
[14:06] {curtisweese} doh! stupid stop hit just enough to take my order and then it bounced up! grrrrrrr
[14:06] {Threei} supertight stops tend to do that
[14:06] {curtisweese} yep
[14:09] {dino} move rrgb s to 39.24 entry
[14:09] {dino} too strong
[14:09] {bruce} any feel on esrx long break of 61.20 vad?
[14:09] {bruce} sory 61.3
[14:10] {Threei} if market continues upward, certainly
[14:10] {Threei} PPT did fantastic job keeping NQ away from dangerous 1725
[14:10] {curtisweese} l aapl 130.92
[14:11] {Threei} will they try to prop it further or will they just remain satisfied by no meltdown ahead of long weekend, who knows
[14:11] {bruce} esrx invalid now - retraced too far
[14:12] {Threei} why, as long as it's holding above 61 it's valid
[14:13] {magoo} rimm sh vad??
[14:14] {dino} maybe the 38.80 area is the spot on rrgb
[14:15] {bruce} it broke to .93 vad - wanted to see it form a smaller tighter range

[14:31] {curtisweese} it was luck on that RIMM short over the weekend....so technically 4 days

[15:10] {Chaeron} curtis, we don't need to hear of your shower exploits please
[15:10] {curtisweese} lol
[15:11] {dino} geo, just got back from bus stop. not sure on cents? 1/1 r/1, shoot for $700/day
[15:11] {GeoArb} yes thats my Q
[15:12] {GeoArb} 700 can change based on position size
[15:12] {GeoArb} so you dont have a dollar goal
[15:12] {dino} yes. 700 is total daily goal, each trade is on its own
[15:13] {GeoArb} so sizing based on risk i guess
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {dino} risk reward try for 1:1 min
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} yeah i read that in vad's "boring" book
[15:13] {dino} when i say sm=smaller size, otherwise 500
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} i am doing 100/200 rite now
[15:14] {GeoArb} i had seen the vids.... so the book was an easier read
[15:14] {GeoArb} thanks dino
[15:14] {dino} yes, sizing on risk, you watch some of the crazy ones i play. i am a contrarian, and i don't mind thin vol.
[15:14] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {dino} i'm looking for 2 buck ranges or better
[15:15] {GeoArb} whats up with MS?
[15:15] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {GeoArb} daily range
[15:15] {dino} y
[15:16] {dino} prefer fast 2 buck range
[15:16] {GeoArb} ok
[15:16] {GeoArb} yeah for me countertrend is advanced level
[15:17] {GeoArb} will wait on those :D
[15:17] {dino} find your edge, manage the risk, be consistant, and keep it simple
[15:18] {GeoArb} KIS brought me here
[15:18] {dino} ahhh
[15:18] {GeoArb} i was trying to scalp futures using complex methodologies last one year
[15:18] {GeoArb} wasted a year
[15:18] {dino} hardest thing for me lately is waiting 20 minutes in the a.m.
[15:19] {dino} moves are not true enough
[15:19] {GeoArb} ok so you start after 20 mins....
[15:19] {GeoArb} all stocks open and stabilize
[15:19] {dino} yes, i do much better that way
[15:19] {dino} some days magoo has 3 trasdes in before i start
[15:20] {GeoArb} i am in west coast.... so have to trade only forst half
[15:20] {dino} i guess i'm slow
[15:20] {dino} its all individuals edge, i start slow
[15:21] {GeoArb} surge
[15:21] {GeoArb} in fins
[15:26] {dino} bruce, we should have been watching fmcn

[09:01] {Threei} Barrick
[09:02] {Threei} lost major support

[09:02] {Threei} gotta watch to get a feel for how it trades

[09:03] {Threei} tom :)
[09:08] {esemde} good morning/

[09:10] {dino} abx gold stock
[09:10] {Threei} yup, Barrick
[09:10] {dino} gold lost about 6% yesterday, thats about $60/ounce
[09:10] {Threei} not gold stock... THE gold stock :)
[09:11] {dino} hmmmm, 3i getting emotional
[09:11] {patience} i trade Barrick frequently, mostly options....Barrick broke below $48...and is in trouble. Bought puts in ABX and other golds this week
[09:11] {GeoArb} gm all
[09:11] {Threei} geo :)
[09:11] {patience} gm btw :)
[09:12] {Threei} morning patience :)
[09:12] {dino} patience, your nick should be the oracle
[09:12] {patience} nope, i just spend alot of time reading lol
[09:13] {dino} :)
[09:13] {Threei} see... I always knew it was good for you to know letters and have the skill to put them together so they form words
[09:13] {Threei} also, to read makes us speak English good
[09:15] {Threei} (poor Raven)
[09:16] {Raven}

[09:16] {bruce} are thre options in bsc - if so shoulda bought puts a week or so back

[09:17] {Threei} UNDERWRITERS EXERCISE OVERALLOTMENT OPTION OF 40.6M SHRS
[09:17] {Threei} now, why would they do that
[09:20] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} gm all
[09:20] {Threei} thtt :)
[09:22] {magoo} vad, quick ?
[09:22] {bruce} big drop into support bvn yesterday dino
[09:22] {magoo} when u make call..say loss of ..99
[09:23] {magoo} are u watching and entering manually or is there som limit order auto?
[09:23] {Threei} manually
[09:23] {Threei} you can set auto via OMS I believe
[09:23] {magoo} cause i keep missing enntries
[09:23] {magoo} have to chase a little
[09:23] {Threei} this is a matter of a stock being thick enough for entry
[09:23] {magoo} 'seems they are sitting and then woosh
[09:23] {Threei} not the manual vs auto
[09:24] {Threei} if there are no bids to hit, however you send it won't make a difference
[09:24] {magoo} like JPM sh last afternoon...u said like .99..woosh
[09:24] {Threei} that's why my limits are a bit beyond the price I want
[09:24] {magoo} it went thru it to .89 in blink.. i missed
[09:24] {bruce} isn't that the way it goes mags? - the ones that really break deciseively tend to best winners
[09:25] {bruce} but don't give muchchance to enter w/out chasing
[09:25] {Threei} it's simply a matter of defining how far you are willing to chase, setting order there and adjusting your size accordingly
[09:26] {Threei} if there are shares available at better price you'll get them
[09:26] {magoo} how far do u recommend chasing?..say on that JPM
[09:26] {Threei} if not, you'll get your limit
[09:26] {Threei} and if no shares even there, oh well
[09:26] {Threei} my usual is 3-5 cents
[09:26] {magoo} ok..
[09:26] {magoo} see V spike
[09:26] {Threei} if it wooshes by I wait a little for possible bounce
[09:27] {Threei} if it continues decisively not giving me a fill I cancel
[09:27] {dino} bvn commodity stock
[09:27] {bruce} k
[09:27] {bruce} pot as well - looks like reversal candidate
[09:29] {bruce} same pattern mon
[09:29] {magoo} vad, how come we haven't been playing QID lately?
[09:29] {Threei} you've seen much pattern following in NASDAQ chart? :)
[09:30] {dino} nov interesting, apol watching
[09:30] {bruce} k
[09:31] {dino} ibn downgrade
[09:31] {Threei} watching ABX bounce with idea of short at 43.05

[09:47] {bruce} I'm not greedy
[09:47] {Threei} had bid for second half at .05
[09:47] {Threei} and thing bottomed at .08
[09:47] {bruce} I thought a drop to 8 was reasonable in it but gald I dumped when it started to spike
[09:48] {Threei} everyone forgot about VLNC swing trade alert from yesterday I am sure
[09:49] {bruce} ibn looks like possible long now dino
[09:50] {dino} thinking same

[11:00] {Threei} rally very well may be in cards
[11:01] {Threei} but there is no really way to tell the odds
[11:02] {tomg} have to leave soon, better stay out
[11:02] {Threei} anyone took VLNC?

[11:06] {Threei} if tyhere was such certain pattern, everyone would use it and make milions in one day
[11:07] {Threei} question remains, who would have taken the other side of their sells
[11:07] {Threei} since pattern is so certain, why would anyone buy :)

[13:23] {curtisweese} out mer short lost .20
[13:23] {dino} i intend to get the alcohol ratio up
[13:24] {dino} eqix maybe you're right bruce
[13:26] {bruce} we'll see - stuck now if it break .75 now thinking it'll go to 58- break is the ?
[13:30] {dino} nov l .25 careful
[13:37] {curtisweese} l ceph 63.74
[13:37] {curtisweese} not very much movement but i need a break and want to own something....hahahaa
[13:38] {curtisweese} seems like it should have moved up more with that news.....stupid news
[13:38] {dino} out nov .75, +.50
[13:40] {dino} magoo's gonna be pissed on ceph at 63.74
[13:40] {magoo} :)
[13:40] {curtisweese} i got out right away...don't want to be handcuffed to it
[13:41] {dino} its all about the size play in this market magoo
[13:41] {dino} prevent rinses
[13:42] {bruce} nice one dino
[13:42] {bruce} just dumped eqix+.20
[13:42] {dino} gj
[13:42] {dino} you missed nov? oih gave the entry
[13:43] {bruce} I wanted 58 but \kept struggling at .80 level
[13:43] {bruce} yes - only doing one trade at time
[13:43] {dino} ok
[13:43] {bruce} I saw nov and liked it - you had gret entry
[13:44] {dino} i prefer "lucky" entry
[13:45] {bruce} lol
[13:45] {bruce} better to be lucky than smart
[13:45] {bruce} for that matter - better to be lucky than dumb too
[13:46] {dino} better lucky than good (being good is too hard)
[13:46] {bruce} I like bad- more fun
[13:46] {dino} rrgb hod
[13:46] {Threei} or as ancient russian joke goes, better be healthy and wealthy than sick and at war
[13:47] {dino} pretty bad when the movers are buffalo wild wings and red robin burgers
[13:47] {curtisweese} l aapl here for run i hope! 130.92
[13:47] {bruce} thats a good one vad
[13:48] {dino} fwiw i am waiting sm s rrgb 38.80, purely a random area
[13:48] {Threei} hawk... VLNC :)
[13:48] {bruce} k
[13:49] {dino} on rrgb the profit ( if any ) will be luck, the stop is the skill
[13:50] {hawkfan4} :) nice move
[13:50] {dino} quite the range on fwlt
[13:55] {dino} out eqix .90, +.40
[13:55] {bruce} yes - first hour was big
[13:56] {bruce} good for you dino - I had no guts to hold
[13:56] {dino} ty, was a pain, but worked out, gappy
[13:56] {bruce} I lost confidnece on the stall at .8
[13:57] {curtisweese} come on aapl darn you.....help me help you
[13:58] {bruce} it actually looks good to me now for a move to 58.50 or so but no way I'denter here
[13:58] {dino} problem is the drawdown to 57.55 was consistant
[13:59] {curtisweese} you need someone to enter somewhere stupid?
[13:59] {curtisweese} lol
[13:59] {bruce} yes - too much risk of big pullback her
[13:59] {bruce} lol curtis
[14:00] {curtisweese} i have a super tight stop on aapl
[14:00] {bruce} you voluntering?
[14:00] {dino} lol
[14:00] {dino} brb
[14:00] {bruce} k
[14:06] {curtisweese} doh! stupid stop hit just enough to take my order and then it bounced up! grrrrrrr
[14:06] {Threei} supertight stops tend to do that
[14:06] {curtisweese} yep
[14:09] {dino} move rrgb s to 39.24 entry
[14:09] {dino} too strong
[14:09] {bruce} any feel on esrx long break of 61.20 vad?
[14:09] {bruce} sory 61.3
[14:10] {Threei} if market continues upward, certainly
[14:10] {Threei} PPT did fantastic job keeping NQ away from dangerous 1725
[14:10] {curtisweese} l aapl 130.92
[14:11] {Threei} will they try to prop it further or will they just remain satisfied by no meltdown ahead of long weekend, who knows
[14:11] {bruce} esrx invalid now - retraced too far
[14:12] {Threei} why, as long as it's holding above 61 it's valid
[14:13] {magoo} rimm sh vad??
[14:14] {dino} maybe the 38.80 area is the spot on rrgb
[14:15] {bruce} it broke to .93 vad - wanted to see it form a smaller tighter range
[14:15] {bruce} bvn long here dino?
[14:16] {dino} dk, liked it better 65
[14:16] {bruce} k

[15:08] {Threei} VLNC, you are so beautiful

[15:10] {Threei} lol
[15:10] {Threei} a bit more information than we strived for
[15:10] {Chaeron} curtis, we don't need to hear of your shower exploits please
[15:10] {curtisweese} lol
[15:11] {dino} geo, just got back from bus stop. not sure on cents? 1/1 r/1, shoot for $700/day
[15:11] {GeoArb} yes thats my Q
[15:12] {GeoArb} 700 can change based on position size
[15:12] {GeoArb} so you dont have a dollar goal
[15:12] {dino} yes. 700 is total daily goal, each trade is on its own
[15:13] {GeoArb} so sizing based on risk i guess
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {dino} risk reward try for 1:1 min
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} yeah i read that in vad's "boring" book
[15:13] {dino} when i say sm=smaller size, otherwise 500
[15:13] {GeoArb} ok
[15:13] {GeoArb} i am doing 100/200 rite now
[15:14] {GeoArb} i had seen the vids.... so the book was an easier read
[15:14] {GeoArb} thanks dino
[15:14] {dino} yes, sizing on risk, you watch some of the crazy ones i play. i am a contrarian, and i don't mind thin vol.
[15:14] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {dino} i'm looking for 2 buck ranges or better
[15:15] {GeoArb} whats up with MS?
[15:15] {GeoArb} ok
[15:15] {GeoArb} daily range
[15:15] {dino} y
[15:16] {dino} prefer fast 2 buck range
[15:16] {GeoArb} ok
[15:16] {GeoArb} yeah for me countertrend is advanced level
[15:17] {GeoArb} will wait on those :D
[15:17] {dino} find your edge, manage the risk, be consistant, and keep it simple
[15:18] {GeoArb} KIS brought me here
[15:18] {dino} ahhh
[15:18] {GeoArb} i was trying to scalp futures using complex methodologies last one year
[15:18] {GeoArb} wasted a year
[15:18] {dino} hardest thing for me lately is waiting 20 minutes in the a.m.
[15:19] {dino} moves are not true enough
[15:19] {GeoArb} ok so you start after 20 mins....
[15:19] {GeoArb} all stocks open and stabilize
[15:19] {dino} yes, i do much better that way
[15:19] {dino} some days magoo has 3 trasdes in before i start
[15:20] {GeoArb} i am in west coast.... so have to trade only forst half
[15:20] {dino} i guess i'm slow
[15:20] {dino} its all individuals edge, i start slow
[15:21] {GeoArb} surge
[15:21] {GeoArb} in fins
[15:26] {dino} bruce, we should have been watching fmcn
