[10:19] {Threei} hey... I never promised good sense of humor in this room

[10:21] {pita} k
[10:22] {Threei} 8.4.2.a) Our sense of humor is seriously flawed; It never developed beyond early teen level. Proceed at your own risk

[10:30] {Threei} newer trader, just starting his way in the market makes .21 on half lot
[10:31] {Threei} and that's qualified as "only"
[10:32] {Threei} I need to readjust my expectations I guess
[10:32] {esemde} just looked at DWSN...nice one dino
[10:32] {dino} ugh dwsn chickened out, could/wouldda had $1+
[10:33] {Threei} any trade that doesn't make me instant zillionare will be marked as "merely", "pitiful" or lousy" from now on
[10:33] {GeoArb} i am merely goodlooking
[10:33] {Threei} and I can't say even that... :(
[10:33] {GeoArb} lol

[10:39] {Chaeron} GM all
[10:39] {Threei} chaeron :)
[10:42] {Onix} NTAP C&H?
[10:43] {Threei} it is
[10:43] {Threei} I just doubt it will play out
[10:44] {Threei} but as for chart pattern recognition, A+ Onix
[10:44] {Onix} ty
[10:44] {Onix} lol
[10:46] {dino} fstr l .49
[10:46] {fernp} Threei, do you play C&H not formed in the high of the day?
[10:47] {Threei} I like those at the high more, they have more explosive potential
[10:47] {Threei} but I am interested in "interim" ones too
[10:47] {Threei} it's a pretty powerful setup
[10:48] {Threei} in this particular case, it's NTAP's personality that concerns me
[10:48] {Threei} this one is treacherous somewhat as far as follow-through is concerned,
[10:48] {Threei} I rarely get more than one play out of it,
[10:48] {Threei} it tends to show something readabl;e in the morning,
[10:49] {Threei} then just turn into mess
[10:49] {Threei} so Iam hesitatnt to go top this well more than once
[10:49] {fernp} I see. thank you.
[10:51] {Onix} you know the character of all these stocks!?
[10:51] {Threei} lord no
[10:51] {Onix} or is it more of a general rule, Vad?
[10:51] {dino} kalu
[10:52] {Threei} no Onix, many of them do have their own pwersonalities
[10:52] {magoo} c'mon market..power up
[10:55] {Onix} Vad, I suppose it is quite possible to learn the type of movements one may expectmany
[10:55] {Onix} of a large number of stocks?
[10:56] {Threei} those personalities of which I mention is simply those that I havce experience with
[10:56] {Threei} I do this for almost 12 years
[10:57] {dino} risky sm l kalu .98
[10:57] {Threei} there are clues to how stock tends to trade in its chart and level2
[10:57] {Onix} your experience certainly shows, thanks
[10:57] {Threei} you'll find some of those in MPP
[10:58] {Onix} MPP?
[10:58] {Threei} particularly risk evaluation wise
[10:58] {Threei} Master Profit Plan
[10:58] {Onix} ok
[10:58] {Onix} gotta work through that one again
[10:59] {Threei} well... both MPP and TTR have one interesting in common
[10:59] {Threei} people tend to re-read it as their experience grows and find a lot of things they haven't noticed before
[10:59] {Threei} I get quite a few comments on that
[10:59] {Onix} quite true
[11:00] {Onix} first time much of it not all that comprehendable
[11:00] {Roman} 21 CSTR
[11:01] {Onix} I gotta run to my day-job now, will watch some more from there, bye
[11:01] {Threei} notice that if you tried NTAP break with stop under .90 as chart suggests, you would have been stopped by now
[11:05] {Roman} 21 in XIDE , hard to read but will sit in . in 14.06 area stop 13.76
[11:06] {Threei} dptl dcc please

[11:08] {dino} then indeed you can

[11:08] {Threei} and beer
[11:10] {dino} kalu stop tyo .65
[11:11] {dino} out major slip ave .52, +.54
[11:13] {Onix} ty for that good advice on NTAP Vad, i see what you mesn
[11:14] {Threei} interesting thing about this one:
[11:14] {Onix} mean i mean
[11:14] {Threei} its morning setup that we played was on its own merit
[11:14] {Threei} even went against the market
[11:14] {Threei} now it just goes up and down with market
[11:15] {Onix} and that is interesting?
[11:15] {Threei} don't know why, but that morning stamina in face of NQ drop was one of the best clues to a play
[11:15] {Threei} yes it is
[11:15] {Threei} such divergence is an opportunity
[11:15] {dino} vad is easily amused onix:)
[11:15] {Threei} true
[11:15] {Threei} shiny things... loud sounds
[11:16] {Threei} glossy magazines
[11:16] {Onix} small things amuses ...

[11:45] {magoo} any RIMM read vad?
[11:45] {Threei} nope
[11:46] {Threei} equally likely to bounce or break down
[11:49] {Threei} hawk, you still holding RSOL or exited on spike over 9?
[11:50] {hawkfan4} exited, actually got out 9
[11:50] {Threei} OK
[11:54] {Threei} take a look at IBM daily
[11:54] {Threei} does it look to you like one of major companies in a recession period?
[11:55] {GeoArb} we also have to realize IBM are the ultimate outsources
[11:55] {GeoArb} they dont make money in america
[11:55] {GeoArb} more mutinational than national
[11:55] {Threei} sorry, you lost me
[11:55] {Threei} they may oursource all they want
[11:55] {Threei} as everyone esle does
[11:56] {GeoArb} its where their revenues come from
[11:56] {Threei} but without American market, I truly doubt they have a real shot at going to new highs
[11:56] {GeoArb} ok
[11:56] {Chaeron} technically speaking, looks higher still
[11:58] {Threei} technically speaking... once 125 is broken, what is there to limit its upside?
[11:59] {Threei} it tends to move in 5 dollar ranges
[11:59] {Threei} so, again technically speaking, I'd say we can expect 125-130 as a new range for it
[12:00] {Threei} just amazes me howstrong it is in face of all doom and gloom in economy
[12:00] {Chaeron} source of doom and gloom?
[12:00] {Threei} ummm... economy itself? :)
[12:01] {dino} kalu stop to .48
[12:01] {Chaeron} I was thinking strong Canadian $ :))
[12:01] {Threei} that causes doom and gloom on canadian side
[12:01] {Chaeron} "blame Canada"
[12:02] {Threei} but considering whole canadian population is less than one of California... I doubt you, south of 49th parallel, care much :)
[12:03] {dino} think in terms of bicycles being replaced all over asia but cars
[12:04] {dino} by
[12:05] {dino} kalu to .74

[12:46] {Threei} amazing how boring things went as morning excitment worn down
[12:54] -} [peterg] PING
[13:02] {fernp} Now I understand from where traders take the time to write books...
[13:03] {Threei} nah
[13:03] {Threei} doesn't work like that
[13:03] {Threei} books are being written on weekends and evenings
[13:04] {Threei} well... at least thosew written by traders... which is not always the case, lol
[13:05] {fernp} just kidding
[13:05] {Threei} unfortunately I am not... a lot of trading books are created by people who can't trade 25 cents for a phone call
[13:06] {fernp} I know that's true
[13:06] {magoo} wake up.power up comith imo
[13:13] {dino} kalu l .30 sm
[13:15] {Threei} not sure mags... very swampy so far
[13:15] {Threei} no direction
[13:15] {Threei} this downdraft doesn't convince me either
[13:16] {Threei} in fact, one of the most prolific authors who also gives a lot of seminars, and I'll omit the name, wrote in a foreward of his first book
[13:16] {GeoArb} tell us three i
[13:16] {Threei} that he never traded, and just wanted to sum experience of many other traders he interviewed
[13:16] {GeoArb} just say you like him
[13:16] {GeoArb} schwager
[13:16] {Threei} book was published in heyday of market
[13:17] {Threei} nope, not shwagger :)
[13:17] {GeoArb} no no holdon
[13:17] {GeoArb} van tharp/elder
[13:17] {Threei} so it caught up and sold a lot of copies
[13:17] {Threei} so, naturally, trying to ride success, he continued with several others
[13:18] {Threei} and became one of leading authorities in industry
[13:18] {Threei} all without EVER trading himself
[13:18] {judijim} unfortunately, perception passes for reality
[13:19] {Threei} well... whole market works on just that, lol
[13:20] {GeoArb} hint hint'
[13:21] {judijim} the script never changes, in sales of any type, the consumer must know less about the product than the person selling it.
[13:21] {GeoArb} all ya gotta do is stay one piano lesson ahaead?
[13:22] {judijim} people buy hope
[13:24] {Chaeron} even in politics
[13:25] {dino} kalu stopped -.40

Session Time: Wed May 07 00:00:00 2008
[08:32] {Threei} Q1 PRELIMINARY NONFARM PRODUCTIVITY: 2.2% V 1.5%E; UNIT LABOR COSTS: 2.2% V 2.6%E
- Prior Nonfram Productivity revised from 1.9% to 1.8%
[08:32] {Threei} - Prior Unit Labor Costs revised from 2.6% to 2.8%
[08:33] {Threei} ENZN
[08:33] {Threei} REPORTS Q1 $0.03 V -$0.09E, R $ 48.8MV $45ME
[08:35] {magoo} morning
[08:35] {Threei} good morning
[08:36] {hawkfan4} good morning all
[08:36] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:38] {Onix} Morning you 5
[08:38] {magoo} whats with FWLT vad
[08:39] {Threei} 06:45am [FWLT] Reports Q1 $0.85 v $0.73e, R $1.80B v $1.48Be
[08:41] {Onix} Hi Vad, any advice please for someone who only has the first hour and the last hour of the market to trade?
[08:42] {Threei} nothing drastically different... take valid setups, stay away from emotional entries...
[08:42] {Threei} you do things by the book, profit will follow
[08:43] {Threei} stay away from slow ones that are not likely to resolve within your limited time window
[08:43] {Onix} Thanks. You don't often trade @ end of day?
[08:43] {Threei} depends on if there is something to trade
[08:44] {Threei} I change my activity and aggresiveness level depending on time of the day,
[08:44] {Threei} but there is no fast rule that forbids trading at this or that time
[08:44] {Threei} valid setup will get me into trade
[08:45] {Threei} FED'S KROSNZER: JUMP IN MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES IS AN URGENT PROBLEM
[08:45] {Threei} really?
[08:45] {Onix} May I bother you and ask here if there is anything worthwhile to trade when I come in for lunch @ last hour?
[08:46] {Threei} sure... but trust me, I report all my findings to the room :)
[08:46] {Threei} it's highly unlikely that I have something, keep it to myself and will share only on demand :)
[08:47] {Onix} Thanks
[08:47] {Threei} sometimes I feel particularly evilish of course
[08:48] {Onix} no, i don't believe that one
[08:48] {Threei} but I usually am able to manifest it in slapping dave
[08:48] {Threei} which brings desirable relief
[08:48] {Onix} yes, I have noticed you slapping Dave quite often with a trout?
[08:48] {Threei} yup
[08:48] {Threei} try it, it's fun
[08:49] {Onix} lol
[08:49] {Threei} FED'S KROSZNER: FORECLOSURES LIKELY TO HAVE RISEN FURTHER IN Q1;
[08:49] {Threei} - Lenders should consider mortgage writedowns
[08:49] {Threei} - Fed encouraging mortgage loss mitigation
[08:49] {Threei} - Home vacancies have negative effects on cities
[08:49] {Threei} - Urges congress to pass Fannie and Freddie regulator bill
[08:49] {fernp} good morning
[08:49] {Threei} fernp :)
[08:51] {Onix} since when is it the government's job to bail out investment banks and real estate companies?
[08:51] {Threei} that's a very good question
[08:52] {Threei} another good question is why Fed saves economy and ignores inflatiuon while controlling inflation is its major mandate
[08:52] {Threei} or why do they "save economy" by pumping more free money in the system that is already crumbling under weigth of debt
[08:52] {Onix} it all seems far more like a prop-up rather than solutions
[08:53] {Threei} very much so
[08:53] {Threei} and the chain is painfully obvious:
[08:54] {Onix} chain?
[08:54] {Threei} pump more money and cut rates - kill dollar - raise commodity prices - increase inflationary pressure even more by rising prices of oil, food etc
[08:55] {Onix} does not make a lick of sense
[08:55] {Threei} no... but that's what they are doing
[08:55] {Onix} one has to ask: who gains in these situations?
[08:55] {Threei} can we hope they have master plan that we just don't understand yet?
[08:56] {Threei} or it's more likely that they simply pour water whereevr more fire is right now?
[08:56] {Onix} that must be it
[08:56] {Onix} crisis management
[08:57] {Onix} goverment becoming a huge fire brigade
[08:57] {Threei} which is fancy word for "let's save out behind today, damn the consequences tomorrow"
[08:58] {Threei} the only silver lining that I see is,
[08:59] {esemde} morning all..dp fern hawk mags onix tom...back in victoria...and ready to roll ....sort of
[08:59] {Threei} talk about $200 oil became so wqidely accepted, we have a chance to see market once again doing the least expected thing
[08:59] {Threei} ese :)
[08:59] {esemde} hey Vad....
[08:59] {Onix} we think it's gonna run up huge and then it plunges?

[10:42] {esemde} hmmmmmm as Vad would say...sometimes you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug....if DTV drifts any lower i become the bug...
[10:43] {tomg} any read rimm, vad?
[10:43] {Roman} 21 out SOLF +.23
[10:43] {Threei} up... but I have no entry
[10:43] {Threei} nice catch Roman
[10:44] {esemde} Vad let me ask you something.....did I hold onto it to long....should I have taken it when it was .98
[10:44] {Threei} 134 seems to be in cards easy
[10:44] {Threei} in hindsight, yes... but you know how much that is worth :)
[10:45] {esemde} true
[10:45] {Roman} 21 out CPHD +.23
[10:45] {Threei} see, my wway to play this kind of things:
[10:45] {esemde} well its a good trade am sticking to the rules....still have the stop in there......ya never know i guess
[10:45] {Threei} this is agressive entry on daily chart, right before major resistance break at 27,
[10:46] {Threei} but such breaks are iffy in a sense:
[10:46] {Threei} if they occur, they tend to catapult stock,
[10:46] {Threei} if rejected, it dies
[10:46] {Threei} so with aggressive entry, when tock comes to such resistance,
[10:46] {Threei} I prefer to take half off the table
[10:46] {Threei} and keep half for possible break, to maximize profit
[10:47] {Threei} while first sale protects what I already got in case break is rejected
[10:47] {esemde} so maybe i should have gone full lot....

[13:47] {Chaeron} no... get us the bounce... tears get in the way

[13:58] * Threei slaps Laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[13:58] {Onix} but I will try and remember next time
[13:59] {Threei} jerky market - stay with scalps
[13:59] {Threei} especially in situation like this, where you go against the grain
[13:59] {Threei} RIMM established powerful downtrend, long for bounce is just a scvalp
[14:00] {Threei} that's why you sasw me partialling and holsding on short while jumping out of the water rather quickly on long
[14:05] {magoo} bounce here vad?
[14:07] {magoo} in .48

[14:32] {Threei} disconnects are everywhere
[14:38] {Threei} did govt announced a war somewhere and forgot to tell us?
[14:39] {dino} nah, not this time
[14:49] {Threei} US SENATE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE 25% WINDFALL PROFITS TAX AND END TO $17B IN TAX BREAKS TO OIL FIRMS- Energy bill would halt SPR fill, require CFTC to boost margin requirement for oil futures.
[14:52] {Threei} so, anyone sees anything warranting this panic?
[14:54] {dino} well, i see the price of oil rising on this\
[14:55] {dino} think carter did the same thing in the 70's, widfall profit tax, etc
[14:57] {dino} ok, back in 10, hard stop calm .88

[15:13] {Threei} wake up guys, it's boring to watch this show alone
[15:13] {Threei} I run out of popcorn
[15:14] {dino} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[15:14] {Threei} I'll take that
[15:15] {_aosdaveg} i see CNBC is doing the challenge again
[15:15] {Threei} they recycle their list of useless things to do?
[15:16] {Onix} any good short candidates?
[15:16] {dino} pretty much, thats why volume is off
[15:16] {dino} thinking long onix, fwiw
[15:16] {Threei} I would be very hesitant to short here onix
[15:17] {Onix} is this a good time to ask why you say that?
[15:17] {Threei} selloff feels really overextended for the day
[15:17] {Threei} not to say it cannot continue,
[15:17] {Onix} OK ty
[15:18] {Threei} but it's about odds and risk, right?
[15:18] {Threei} odds diminish with each next leg down,
[15:18] {Threei} risk increases
[15:19] {Onix} sometimes it feels as if I still have too much to learn
[15:19] {Threei} add all patterns of late,
[15:19] {Threei} which were rather on a side of sudden reverses
[15:19] {Threei} than continuation
[15:19] {Threei} if times have changed, I want to see it first, before committing
[15:20] {dino} just think opposit onix, most of what is ingrained from cnbc is wrong
[15:20] {Onix} some light is breaking through the fog on my few brain cells now
[15:20] {dino} down big, i look long, up big i look short....i'm a simple main
[15:21] {dino} man
[15:21] {Onix} contrary I would say
[15:21] {dino} vad is right tho, always think probabilities, thats all it really is
[15:21] {dino} :)
[15:21] {Threei} sorry onix, I have to ask this
[15:22] {Onix} what about the trend is your friend?
[15:22] {Threei} [15:20] {Onix} ... my few brain cells now
[15:22] {Threei} you have breain cells? even few? you are Einstein here then
[15:22] {Threei} because I decisively refuse to have any
[15:22] {Onix} Vad, sometimes it feels as if I', short quite a number of brain cells
[15:22] {Threei} they really get in the way of trading
[15:22] {dino} pretty good drop ufpt
[15:23] {Onix} lol
[15:23] {Onix} what about URBN
[15:23] {Threei} trend IS your friend... until it reverses
[15:23] {dino} for me, no, want fast drop
[15:23] {Threei} and we don't see much in terms of trends lately
[15:24] {Onix} so true hey
[15:24] {Threei} what we see for the most part is sudden and vicious reversals
[15:24] {Threei} it will change of course,
[15:24] {Threei} but you don;'t want to guess when it does,
[15:24] {Threei} by trying and risking your money.
[15:25] {Threei} You stay with the way things shape up until market proves you change came
[15:25] {Threei} what we see today is atypical vs last month or two,
[15:25] {Threei} so what do you see me doing?
[15:25] {Onix} going long
[15:25] {Threei} taking the safest trades possible, and decerasing activity
[15:25] {dino} yammering
[15:25] {Threei} tight dino, that too
[15:26] {dino} :)
[15:26] {Threei} look at our wins and stops today
[15:26] {Onix} i'm learning ...
[15:26] {Threei} wins are anywhere from 30 to 80 cents
[15:26] {Threei} stops are 15-20
[15:26] {Threei} sure, such management keeps us out of many trades
[15:26] {Threei} and increases shakeouts
[15:26] {Threei} so what?
[15:27] {dino} ok only 94 pts to go
[15:27] {Onix} will look through it all this evening
[15:27] {Onix} the daily log
[15:28] {Threei} you know where it's posted everyday
[15:28] {Onix} sure do
[15:28] {Threei} for all world to see how few brain cells if any we have
[15:29] {_aosdaveg} mkt just went flush
[15:29] {Threei} just?
[15:29] {Threei} where have you been last 2 hours?
[15:29] {Onix} flush with what?
[15:29] {Onix} 200?
[15:29] {Onix} -200
[15:30] {Threei} flush as in "down the drain"
[15:30] {Onix} oh flushed
[15:31] {Threei} dave is thinking toilets, you know
[15:31] {Threei} you just don't know him much :)
[15:31] {_aosdaveg} lol
[15:31] {Onix} lol
[15:31] {_aosdaveg} that may be a good thing
[15:41] {Threei} last one for today if you feel like risking 15-20 cents
[15:41] {Threei} RIMM .61 long
[15:41] {Threei} .40 support for stop placement
[15:42] {Threei} not holding
[15:44] {Threei} if held through shakeout, 1:1 hit
[15:45] {Threei} Onix... see how violent reversal is?
[15:46] {Onix} i'm whatching!
[15:46] {Threei} good sign: your spelling is getting worse
[15:46] {Threei} widely considered a necessity for traders
[15:47] {Onix} short overings?
[15:47] {Threei} kind of bad handwriting for doctors
[15:47] {Onix} coverings
[15:47] {Threei} mix of bounce players and short covering
[15:48] {Threei} envision yourself being a short player, facing these relentless rallies of late,
[15:48] {Threei} PPT ramping markets up in face of bad news
[15:48] {Onix} "house of pain!"
[15:48] {Threei} and ask yourself: would you risk staying short overnight?
[15:49] {Onix} never again!
[15:49] {Threei} so they prefer to get out and start tomorrow anew
[15:49] {Threei} can't blame them really, it wasn't easy ride for short side
[15:49] {Onix} wise
[15:50] {Threei} a lot are short from mid March
[15:50] {Threei} praying to get even
[15:50] {Threei} just as described in http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/03/can-you-afford-to-be-wrong-for-too-long.html
[15:50] {Onix} praying helps?
[15:50] {Threei} not to my knowledge
[15:51] {_aosdaveg} no, it doesn't
[15:51] {Threei} if your trading toolbox came to prayers, you are seriously on a wrong side
[15:51] {_aosdaveg} beleive me
[15:51] {Onix} i believe you
[15:52] {Onix} wrong for too long and you are out for the count
[15:52] {Threei} at this point everyone is scared equally, longs and shorts
[15:52] {Threei} so we get these hectic movements
[15:53] {Threei} honestly, I don't know how anyone but day traders can play this market of last couple months or so
[15:53] {Threei} I get quite a few e-mails from swing and long term traders
[15:53] {Threei} way more than usual
[15:53] {Onix} tried swing but lost too many times
[15:54] {Threei} anyway guys... decent day
[15:54] {Threei} not as spectacular as yesterday but solid
[15:55] {Threei} do we have any major earnings today?
[15:55] {Threei} lemme look
[15:55] {Onix} thanks Vad .. I learned a little
[15:55] {dino} out calm .19, +.05
[15:56] {Threei} nope, just a pocket change, no major players
[15:57] {Threei} thank you all
[15:57] {Threei} have a great evening, see you tomorrow
[15:57] {Onix} bye

[08:41] {Onix} Hi Vad, any advice please for someone who only has the first hour and the last hour of the market to trade?
[08:42] {Threei} nothing drastically different... take valid setups, stay away from emotional entries...
[08:42] {Threei} you do things by the book, profit will follow
[08:43] {Threei} stay away from slow ones that are not likely to resolve within your limited time window
[08:43] {Onix} Thanks. You don't often trade @ end of day?
[08:43] {Threei} depends on if there is something to trade
[08:44] {Threei} I change my activity and aggresiveness level depending on time of the day,
[08:44] {Threei} but there is no fast rule that forbids trading at this or that time
[08:44] {Threei} valid setup will get me into trade
[08:45] {Threei} FED'S KROSNZER: JUMP IN MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES IS AN URGENT PROBLEM
[08:45] {Threei} really?
[08:45] {Onix} May I bother you and ask here if there is anything worthwhile to trade when I come in for lunch @ last hour?
[08:46] {Threei} sure... but trust me, I report all my findings to the room :)
[08:46] {Threei} it's highly unlikely that I have something, keep it to myself and will share only on demand :)
[08:47] {Onix} Thanks
[08:47] {Threei} sometimes I feel particularly evilish of course
[08:48] {Onix} no, i don't believe that one
[08:48] {Threei} but I usually am able to manifest it in slapping dave
[08:48] {Threei} which brings desirable relief
[08:48] {Onix} yes, I have noticed you slapping Dave quite often with a trout?
[08:48] {Threei} yup
[08:48] {Threei} try it, it's fun
[08:49] {Onix} lol
[08:49] {Threei} FED'S KROSZNER: FORECLOSURES LIKELY TO HAVE RISEN FURTHER IN Q1;
[08:49] {Threei} - Lenders should consider mortgage writedowns
[08:49] {Threei} - Fed encouraging mortgage loss mitigation
[08:49] {Threei} - Home vacancies have negative effects on cities
[08:49] {Threei} - Urges congress to pass Fannie and Freddie regulator bill
[08:49] {fernp} good morning
[08:49] {Threei} fernp :)
[08:51] {Onix} since when is it the government's job to bail out investment banks and real estate companies?
[08:51] {Threei} that's a very good question
[08:52] {Threei} another good question is why Fed saves economy and ignores inflatiuon while controlling inflation is its major mandate
[08:52] {Threei} or why do they "save economy" by pumping more free money in the system that is already crumbling under weigth of debt
[08:52] {Onix} it all seems far more like a prop-up rather than solutions
[08:53] {Threei} very much so
[08:53] {Threei} and the chain is painfully obvious:
[08:54] {Onix} chain?
[08:54] {Threei} pump more money and cut rates - kill dollar - raise commodity prices - increase inflationary pressure even more by rising prices of oil, food etc
[08:55] {Onix} does not make a lick of sense
[08:55] {Threei} no... but that's what they are doing
[08:55] {Onix} one has to ask: who gains in these situations?
[08:55] {Threei} can we hope they have master plan that we just don't understand yet?
[08:56] {Threei} or it's more likely that they simply pour water whereevr more fire is right now?
[08:56] {Onix} that must be it
[08:56] {Onix} crisis management
[08:57] {Onix} goverment becoming a huge fire brigade
[08:57] {Threei} which is fancy word for "let's save out behind today, damn the consequences tomorrow"
[08:58] {Threei} the only silver lining that I see is,
[08:59] {esemde} morning all..dp fern hawk mags onix tom...back in victoria...and ready to roll ....sort of
[08:59] {Threei} talk about $200 oil became so wqidely accepted, we have a chance to see market once again doing the least expected thing
[08:59] {Threei} ese :)
[08:59] {esemde} hey Vad....
[08:59] {Onix} we think it's gonna run up huge and then it plunges?
[09:00] {Threei} don;'t know...

[10:44] {esemde} Vad let me ask you something.....did I hold onto it to long....should I have taken it when it was .98
[10:44] {Threei} 134 seems to be in cards easy
[10:44] {Threei} in hindsight, yes... but you know how much that is worth :)
[10:45] {esemde} true
[10:45] {Roman} 21 out CPHD +.23
[10:45] {Threei} see, my wway to play this kind of things:
[10:45] {esemde} well its a good trade am sticking to the rules....still have the stop in there......ya never know i guess
[10:45] {Threei} this is agressive entry on daily chart, right before major resistance break at 27,
[10:46] {Threei} but such breaks are iffy in a sense:
[10:46] {Threei} if they occur, they tend to catapult stock,
[10:46] {Threei} if rejected, it dies
[10:46] {Threei} so with aggressive entry, when tock comes to such resistance,
[10:46] {Threei} I prefer to take half off the table
[10:46] {Threei} and keep half for possible break, to maximize profit
[10:47] {Threei} while first sale protects what I already got in case break is rejected
[10:47] {esemde} so maybe i should have gone full lot....

[13:59] {Threei} jerky market - stay with scalps
[13:59] {Threei} especially in situation like this, where you go against the grain
[13:59] {Threei} RIMM established powerful downtrend, long for bounce is just a scvalp
[14:00] {Threei} that's why you sasw me partialling and holsding on short while jumping out of the water rather quickly on long
[14:05] {magoo} bounce here vad?

[14:39] {dino} nah, not this time
[14:49] {Threei} US SENATE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE 25% WINDFALL PROFITS TAX AND END TO $17B IN TAX BREAKS TO OIL FIRMS- Energy bill would halt SPR fill, require CFTC to boost margin requirement for oil futures.
[14:52] {Threei} so, anyone sees anything warranting this panic?
[14:54] {dino} well, i see the price of oil rising on this\

[15:13] {Threei} I run out of popcorn

[15:14] {Threei} I'll take that
[15:15] {_aosdaveg} i see CNBC is doing the challenge again
[15:15] {Threei} they recycle their list of useless things to do?
[15:16] {Onix} any good short candidates?
[15:16] {dino} pretty much, thats why volume is off
[15:16] {dino} thinking long onix, fwiw
[15:16] {Threei} I would be very hesitant to short here onix
[15:17] {Onix} is this a good time to ask why you say that?
[15:17] {Threei} selloff feels really overextended for the day
[15:17] {Threei} not to say it cannot continue,
[15:17] {Onix} OK ty
[15:18] {Threei} but it's about odds and risk, right?
[15:18] {Threei} odds diminish with each next leg down,
[15:18] {Threei} risk increases
[15:19] {Onix} sometimes it feels as if I still have too much to learn
[15:19] {Threei} add all patterns of late,
[15:19] {Threei} which were rather on a side of sudden reverses
[15:19] {Threei} than continuation
[15:19] {Threei} if times have changed, I want to see it first, before committing
[15:20] {dino} just think opposit onix, most of what is ingrained from cnbc is wrong
[15:20] {Onix} some light is breaking through the fog on my few brain cells now
[15:20] {dino} down big, i look long, up big i look short....i'm a simple main
[15:21] {dino} man
[15:21] {Onix} contrary I would say
[15:21] {dino} vad is right tho, always think probabilities, thats all it really is
[15:21] {dino} :)
[15:21] {Threei} sorry onix, I have to ask this
[15:22] {Onix} what about the trend is your friend?
[15:22] {Threei} [15:20] {Onix} ... my few brain cells now
[15:22] {Threei} you have breain cells? even few? you are Einstein here then
[15:22] {Threei} because I decisively refuse to have any
[15:22] {Onix} Vad, sometimes it feels as if I', short quite a number of brain cells
[15:22] {Threei} they really get in the way of trading
[15:22] {dino} pretty good drop ufpt
[15:23] {Onix} lol
[15:23] {Onix} what about URBN
[15:23] {Threei} trend IS your friend... until it reverses
[15:23] {dino} for me, no, want fast drop
[15:23] {Threei} and we don't see much in terms of trends lately
[15:24] {Onix} so true hey
[15:24] {Threei} what we see for the most part is sudden and vicious reversals
[15:24] {Threei} it will change of course,
[15:24] {Threei} but you don;'t want to guess when it does,
[15:24] {Threei} by trying and risking your money.
[15:25] {Threei} You stay with the way things shape up until market proves you change came
[15:25] {Threei} what we see today is atypical vs last month or two,
[15:25] {Threei} so what do you see me doing?
[15:25] {Onix} going long
[15:25] {Threei} taking the safest trades possible, and decerasing activity
[15:25] {dino} yammering
[15:25] {Threei} tight dino, that too
[15:26] {dino} :)
[15:26] {Threei} look at our wins and stops today
[15:26] {Onix} i'm learning ...
[15:26] {Threei} wins are anywhere from 30 to 80 cents
[15:26] {Threei} stops are 15-20
[15:26] {Threei} sure, such management keeps us out of many trades
[15:26] {Threei} and increases shakeouts
[15:26] {Threei} so what?
[15:27] {dino} ok only 94 pts to go
[15:27] {Onix} will look through it all this evening
[15:27] {Onix} the daily log
[15:28] {Threei} you know where it's posted everyday
[15:28] {Onix} sure do
[15:28] {Threei} for all world to see how few brain cells if any we have
[15:29] {_aosdaveg} mkt just went flush
[15:29] {Threei} just?
[15:29] {Threei} where have you been last 2 hours?
[15:29] {Onix} flush with what?
[15:29] {Onix} 200?
[15:29] {Onix} -200
[15:30] {Threei} flush as in "down the drain"
[15:30] {Onix} oh flushed
[15:31] {Threei} dave is thinking toilets, you know
[15:31] {Threei} you just don't know him much :)
[15:31] {_aosdaveg} lol
[15:31] {Onix} lol
[15:31] {_aosdaveg} that may be a good thing
[15:41] {Threei} last one for today if you feel like risking 15-20 cents
[15:41] {Threei} RIMM .61 long
[15:41] {Threei} .40 support for stop placement
[15:42] {Threei} not holding
[15:44] {Threei} if held through shakeout, 1:1 hit
[15:45] {Threei} Onix... see how violent reversal is?
[15:46] {Onix} i'm whatching!
[15:46] {Threei} good sign: your spelling is getting worse
[15:46] {Threei} widely considered a necessity for traders
[15:47] {Onix} short overings?
[15:47] {Threei} kind of bad handwriting for doctors
[15:47] {Onix} coverings
[15:47] {Threei} mix of bounce players and short covering
[15:48] {Threei} envision yourself being a short player, facing these relentless rallies of late,
[15:48] {Threei} PPT ramping markets up in face of bad news
[15:48] {Onix} "house of pain!"
[15:48] {Threei} and ask yourself: would you risk staying short overnight?
[15:49] {Onix} never again!
[15:49] {Threei} so they prefer to get out and start tomorrow anew
[15:49] {Threei} can't blame them really, it wasn't easy ride for short side
[15:49] {Onix} wise
[15:50] {Threei} a lot are short from mid March
[15:50] {Threei} praying to get even
[15:50] {Threei} just as described in http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2008/03/can-you-afford-to-be-wrong-for-too-long.html
[15:50] {Onix} praying helps?
[15:50] {Threei} not to my knowledge
[15:51] {_aosdaveg} no, it doesn't
[15:51] {Threei} if your trading toolbox came to prayers, you are seriously on a wrong side
[15:51] {_aosdaveg} beleive me
[15:51] {Onix} i believe you
[15:52] {Onix} wrong for too long and you are out for the count
[15:52] {Threei} at this point everyone is scared equally, longs and shorts
[15:52] {Threei} so we get these hectic movements
[15:53] {Threei} honestly, I don't know how anyone but day traders can play this market of last couple months or so
[15:53] {Threei} I get quite a few e-mails from swing and long term traders
[15:53] {Threei} way more than usual
[15:53] {Onix} tried swing but lost too many times
[15:54] {Threei} anyway guys... decent day
[15:54] {Threei} not as spectacular as yesterday but solid
[15:55] {Threei} do we have any major earnings today?
[15:55] {Threei} lemme look
[15:55] {Onix} thanks Vad .. I learned a little
[15:55] {dino} out calm .19, +.05
[15:56] {Threei} nope, just a pocket change, no major players
[15:57] {Threei} thank you all
[15:57] {Threei} have a great evening, see you tomorrow
[15:57] {Onix} bye
[15:57] {dino} cya vad
[15:58] {_lisa_jay} Thanks Threei.

Session Time: Tue May 06 00:00:00 2008
[08:19] {Threei} FED FISHER SAYS FED SHOULD NOT EASE UNLESS DRAMATIC ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN; FIRMING DEPENDS ON COOLING INFLATION WITHOUT WORSE ECONOMIC ANEMIA
- Must think through when time for interest rate increase
[08:19] {Threei} - USD rebound and lower gold prices suggest confidence in FED on inflation
[08:19] {Threei} - Inflation remains a concern despite anemic economic growth
[08:19] {Threei} - takes FOMC statement at face value, sees risks on both sides
[08:34] {Threei} An analyst at Goldman Sachs said overnight that the possibility of $150- $200/barrel oil prices seems increasingly likely over the next 6-24 months, and as a result raised their 2008 oil price forecast to $108 from $96, and raised the 2009 oil price forecast raised to $110 from $105.

[10:56] {GeoArb} it was wierd
[10:56] {Threei} first it drops like the world ends tomorrow
[10:56] {GeoArb} easier to predict immediate shortterm
[10:57] {Threei} then it does form nice bottoming pattern
[10:57] {Threei} double bottom, consolidation under 1970 for NQ, break
[10:57] {Threei} I use it for RIMM read,
[10:58] {Threei} but heck, to see NQ proceeding to make new highs for the day, that's a bit rich :)

[10:58] {Threei} whatever
[10:58] {Threei} we find our plays

[08:19] {Threei} FED FISHER SAYS FED SHOULD NOT EASE UNLESS DRAMATIC ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN; FIRMING DEPENDS ON COOLING INFLATION WITHOUT WORSE ECONOMIC ANEMIA
- Must think through when time for interest rate increase
[08:19] {Threei} - USD rebound and lower gold prices suggest confidence in FED on inflation
[08:19] {Threei} - Inflation remains a concern despite anemic economic growth
[08:19] {Threei} - takes FOMC statement at face value, sees risks on both sides
[08:34] {Threei} An analyst at Goldman Sachs said overnight that the possibility of $150- $200/barrel oil prices seems increasingly likely over the next 6-24 months, and as a result raised their 2008 oil price forecast to $108 from $96, and raised the 2009 oil price forecast raised to $110 from $105.

[10:56] {Threei} and honestly, I do not possess tools to read this kind of idiotic movements
[10:56] {GeoArb} it was wierd
[10:56] {Threei} first it drops like the world ends tomorrow
[10:56] {GeoArb} easier to predict immediate shortterm
[10:57] {Threei} then it does form nice bottoming pattern
[10:57] {Threei} double bottom, consolidation under 1970 for NQ, break
[10:57] {Threei} I use it for RIMM read,
[10:58] {Threei} but heck, to see NQ proceeding to make new highs for the day, that's a bit rich :)
[10:58] {magoo} one tricky dicky market
[10:58] {Threei} shrug
[10:58] {Threei} whatever
[10:58] {Threei} we find our plays

May 02 2008
Session Time: Fri May 02 00:00:00 2008
[08:02] {Threei} 05/01/08 08:51pm [VNDA] Caris & Company Initiates VNDA with Buy, price target: $22
[08:02] {Threei} hmmm
[08:08] {hawkfan4} hmmm, optomistic
[08:09] {Threei} alternatively... analyst forgot to take his medications
[08:09] {hawkfan4} lol, :) you're probably on to something there
[08:09] {Threei} notice time of upgrade
[08:10] {hawkfan4} a few coctails after work and access to his computer
[08:10] {Threei} what, he sat with friends at the bar, suddenly realized there is this great stock he urgently needs to upgrade?
[08:11] {Threei} grabbed his blackberry and started typing frantically?
[08:11] {hawkfan4} hee, it is a funny picture!
[08:11] {hawkfan4} "i'm gonna say 20...wait, no...22!"
[08:12] {Threei} well, i was 22 just last summer...
[08:12] {Threei} it
[08:15] {Threei} what justy happened?
[08:15] {Threei} numbers in 15 min
[08:18] {_aosdaveg} morning
[08:18] {Threei} hey
[08:20] {hawkfan4} morning dave, Chicago weather not so bad, eh? at least today
[08:21] {hawkfan4} 8:15 Fed takes measures to address 'persistent liquidity pressures'
[08:21] {hawkfan4} Expands TSLF collateral to include AAA asset-backed securities.
[08:21] {hawkfan4} i think that's what spiked things
[08:22] {Threei} and tanked 2 min later
[08:22] {Threei} smacks of desperation
[08:25] {_aosdaveg} got completely soaked this morning walking from the bus to the building
[08:26] {hawkfan4} oops, raining downtown? was just outside, nice here in the burbs
[08:26] {_aosdaveg} spring shower
[08:26] {hawkfan4} ah
[08:28] {_aosdaveg} was gorgoeus yesterday
[08:30] {Threei} *APR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 5.0% V 5.2%E
[08:30] {Threei} APR CHANGE IN NONFARM PAYROLLS: -20 V -75KE
[08:30] {Threei} AVERAGE HOURLY EARNINGS M/M: 0.1V 0.3%E; AVERAGE WEEKLY HOURS: 33.7V 33.7E
[08:31] {_aosdaveg} holy sheesh
[08:31] {Threei} CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING PAYROLLS: -46K V -35KE
- Prior Nonfarm Payrolls revised from - 80K to -81K
[08:32] {Threei} my 2000 target hit
[08:33] {Threei} where are all those underperforming funds... they can hire me for measly 50 mil a year, couple of such calls will make them 10x that amount
[08:33] {hawkfan4} nice Vad, impressive call especially considering what was going on at the time
[08:34] {Threei} actually... exactly because of what was going
[08:34] {Threei} with all the doom and gloom headlines, market refusing to make new lows and starting to form all kinds of bottom formations
[08:34] {Threei} double bottom, confirmed
[08:35] {Threei} inverted cup and handle, failed
[08:35] {Threei} inverted head and shoulders, confirmed
[08:35] {Threei} after 1900 break there was nothing but thin air till 2000... and extremely bearish sentiment in all the news, headlines, discussions, analysis
[08:35] {Threei} {shrug}
[08:35] {Threei} never fails
[08:36] {Threei} if you read last blog post... you know :)
[08:36] {hawkfan4} i did :)
[08:36] {Threei} hey, VNDA is firmly on its way to 22
[08:36] {Threei} offering 4.50
[08:42] {hawkfan4} 2100 by lunch?
[08:45] {Threei} lol
[08:51] {Threei} April 9:
[08:51] {Threei} [09:07] {Threei} if we hold roughly 1840 NQ support and close in green on improving volume, another "against the common sense rally" is likelt to start
[08:51] {Threei} [09:08] {Threei} yes... that unusually low volume was what put me on alert re: downtrend continuation
[08:51] {Threei} [09:08] {Threei} along the line of thinking: we sell down too shallowly and on too lttle volume on what reads as worst news ever
[08:51] {Threei} [09:10] {Threei} critical range lies between 1840 and 1900

[08:10] {Threei} what, he sat with friends at the bar, suddenly realized there is this great stock he urgently needs to upgrade?
[08:11] {Threei} grabbed his blackberry and started typing frantically?
[08:11] {hawkfan4} hee, it is a funny picture!
[08:11] {hawkfan4} "i'm gonna say 20...wait, no...22!"

[08:21] {hawkfan4} 8:15 Fed takes measures to address 'persistent liquidity pressures'
[08:21] {hawkfan4} Expands TSLF collateral to include AAA asset-backed securities.
[08:21] {hawkfan4} i think that's what spiked things
[08:22] {Threei} and tanked 2 min later
[08:22] {Threei} smacks of desperation
[08:25] {_aosdaveg} got completely soaked this morning walking from the bus to the building
[08:26] {hawkfan4} oops, raining downtown? was just outside, nice here in the burbs

[08:33] {Threei} where are all those underperforming funds... they can hire me for measly 50 mil a year, couple of such calls will make them 10x that amount
[08:33] {hawkfan4} nice Vad, impressive call especially considering what was going on at the time
[08:34] {Threei} actually... exactly because of what was going
[08:34] {Threei} with all the doom and gloom headlines, market refusing to make new lows and starting to form all kinds of bottom formations
[08:34] {Threei} double bottom, confirmed
[08:35] {Threei} inverted cup and handle, failed
[08:35] {Threei} inverted head and shoulders, confirmed
[08:35] {Threei} after 1900 break there was nothing but thin air till 2000... and extremely bearish sentiment in all the news, headlines, discussions, analysis
[08:35] {Threei} {shrug}
[08:35] {Threei} never fails
[08:36] {Threei} if you read last blog post... you know :)

[08:42] {hawkfan4} 2100 by lunch?
[08:45] {Threei} lol
[08:51] {Threei} April 9:
[08:51] {Threei} [09:07] {Threei} if we hold roughly 1840 NQ support and close in green on improving volume, another "against the common sense rally" is likelt to start
[08:51] {Threei} [09:08] {Threei} yes... that unusually low volume was what put me on alert re: downtrend continuation
[08:51] {Threei} [09:08] {Threei} along the line of thinking: we sell down too shallowly and on too lttle volume on what reads as worst news ever
[08:51] {Threei} [09:10] {Threei} critical range lies between 1840 and 1900
[08:51] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} we hold 1840, approach to 1900 and break it with
[08:52] {Threei} 09:11] {Threei} we hold 1840, approach to 1900 and break it with better volume - I really don't see anything to keep the market from going to 2000
[08:52] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} pains me to say this... but that's what charts say
[08:52] {Onix} Good morning all

[08:58] {hawkfan4} I am all-in short, and I am reducing my market outlook to very bearish on both the near-term and intermediate-term prospects now. (For RealMoney Silver subscribers, that means my market rating is now 2-2.)
[08:58] {hawkfan4} Doug Kass
