[08:34] {cosmo} EBAY: eBay's Q2 was in line with expectations, but Q3 guidance is weak, and will disappoint; shares are down 6% after hours. Sales increased 20% year-over-year, and net income jumped 22%, aided by share buybacks.
[08:35] {cosmo} off 11% now
[08:35] {Threei} you'd think in wseakening economy Ebay should benefit
[08:36] {cosmo} hmmm
[08:36] {Threei} The Financial Times noted overnight that some government funds have cut their USD exposure.
[08:36] {Threei} that's interesting
[08:37] {Threei} if they cut it someone's increased it, right?

[09:58] {brian3579} first profitable week thank you vad
[09:58] {Threei} love to hear that brian
[09:59] {Threei} notice,
[09:59] {Threei} you start profitng at times when the world is hurting
[09:59] {brian3579} small but its a start
[09:59] {Threei} this is very significant
[09:59] {Threei} it means you are not a part of crowd anymore
[10:00] {Threei} you move to the smart money side
[10:00] {brian3579} your books and help and hard work mad the difference
[10:00] {brian3579} made
[10:00] {Threei} JULY PHILADELPHIA FED: -16.3 V -15E
[10:01] {Threei} difference is made by you... I provided the necessary resources but nothing works by itself
[10:01] {Threei} - Prices Paid: 75.6 v 69.3 prior (highest reading since 1980)
[10:02] {Threei} - Employment: -7.3 v -6.9 prior
[10:02] {dino} uso, oih rally
[10:02] {Threei} yeah... USO needs to come down again to provide fuel for market
[10:02] {Threei} as long as USO remains strong, it's a drag
[10:05] {Threei} I'd say, we picked exactly right moment to get on sideline
[10:06] {Threei} very tempted by LEH off 18
[10:06] {Threei} want to see market start recovering though
[10:06] {dino} dwsn sm wide l .00
[10:07] {magoo} pretty nasty selloff there
[10:07] {Threei} if I miss it, I always have dave to slap
06[10:07] * magoo slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[10:07] {Threei} market is still selling
[10:08] {Threei} whoa USO
[10:08] {dino} oih +6
[10:16] {laserdave1} nice move down
[10:16] {laserdave1} wow
[10:16] {laserdave1} that was crazy
[10:17] {magoo} 100 sh long CME .19 VERY RISKY
[10:17] {Threei} anyone took LEH off 14?
[10:17] {magoo} was watching
[10:17] {magoo} missed
[10:17] {Threei} perfect hit on a support level just when market started rebounding
[10:18] {Threei} the only problem was,
[10:18] {Threei} it jumped off support so rapidly
[10:18] {Threei} you had to just take it on a blind faith that it would hold
[10:29] {dino} sglp
[10:31] {Threei} MF LIFTS GLOBAL GROWTH FORECAST TO 4.1% ROM 3.7% PRIOR
[10:31] {Threei} IMF
[10:31] {magoo} stopped CME -200 bux

[10:37] {Threei} + .18 peter?
[10:37] {Threei} sounds like you chased it quite high
[10:37] {GeoArb} the first 15 mins i discard as garbage
[10:37] {peterg} this setup is too slow
[10:38] {peterg} my "free" software from fidelity
[10:38] {Threei} OK, this is pure danger
[10:38] {Threei} you will pay dearly for that free setup
[10:38] {peterg} too clunky to use, executions are good and timely, but the fooling around to set up the order is tedious and studpid
[10:39] {Threei} ask dave for demo
[10:39] {Threei} you'll be amazed by7 the difference
[10:40] {peterg} Dave Pelosi?

[08:59] {Threei} I love the place ese
[08:59] {Threei} been there several times
[09:00] {esemde} been along time for me Vad maybe 30 some years
[09:00] {Threei} peter, don't remember honestly... gotta look into configuration to remember what it aims for... it's a very active window, trend following setup
[09:01] {Threei} usually produces some alerts even when everything else is dead
[09:01] {peterg} just trying to distinguish it from regular DBI and JBE
[09:01] {Threei} it takes into considerations several days of consolidation
[09:01] {Threei} (if I remember correct)
[09:01] {Threei} regular JBE/DBI is pure intraday chart formation
[09:02] {peterg} ok
[09:02] {peterg} tks
[09:02] {Threei} best way to evaluate it is to watch its alerts for a while, look at the charts
[09:03] {Threei} see if it produces configurations you like
[09:03] {Threei} for inner mechanics of it just go to Configuration and see which alerts and parameters are there
[09:03] {peterg} I think it's optimistic to think one (this one) can become trader in one year
[09:04] {Threei} well... define "becoming a trader"
[09:04] {peterg} yeah---
[09:04] {peterg} greater confidence,
[09:04] {Threei} I know people who made it to consistency in less than one year
[09:04] {Threei} and I know people who never made it
[09:05] {peterg} ok ill stop complaining & get to work
[09:05] {Threei} what I don't know is people who became consistently profitable from the get go
[09:05] {Threei} or in a month-two
[09:05] {Threei} just doesn't happen
[09:06] {peterg} I joined trading room when I recognized I had no idea what I was doing
[09:06] {Threei} always was amazed seeing those who tried for a month or two, then said "it can't be done" and abandoned it
[09:06] {Threei} as if it was some easy gig, not a profession
[09:07] {Threei} well, after following the room for couple months, do you feel you gained in understanding?
[09:07] {peterg} yep, that is fantasy #1
[09:07] {peterg} yes to question; beginning of idea of understanding
[09:07] {peterg} feel at the base of large mountain
[09:07] {Threei} then things progress in right direction
[09:07] {peterg} I think so
[09:08] {Threei} some find it impossible to overcome inner resistance to the very approach we preach
[09:08] {Threei} their idea of "market can be figured out" makes them uncomfortable with our idea of
[09:08] {Threei} "it can't, and for successful trading it doesn't to"
[09:09] {Threei} doesn't have to
[09:09] {Threei} so they go on trying to find absoulte formula for success
[09:09] {Threei} where they will be able to know exactly what happens next
[09:09] {cosmo} baseball cards?
[09:09] {Threei} have no losing trades
[09:10] {peterg} Yes, it would be nice to be a genius and know everything in advance, the Einstein of it all.
[09:10] {Threei} winning all the money in da world
[09:10] {peterg} and baseball cards
[09:11] {Threei} it's so tempting to think that if you found some numbers on internet showing how muchg of demand there is and how much supply there is, you know where the price is going to move
[09:11] {Threei} false comfort of "knowing"... like siren song
[09:12] {Threei} never what it promises to be yet not many avoided its irresistible temptation
[09:12] {peterg} that is why people are piling into SATC?

[13:18] {peterg} was there any way to have read RIMM today for long?
[13:18] {Threei} in most cases RIMM is market follower
[13:19] {Threei} long rwead on market takes you to RIMM as trading candidate 9 times out of 10
[13:19] {peterg} so no volume/price read
[13:19] {Threei} the best case is when you get read on the market and RIMM has its own readable trigger
[13:20] {Threei} remember yesterday's call on RIMM?
[13:20] {Threei} when I said I feel market was ready to charge
[13:20] {peterg} yes
[13:20] {Threei} and gave exact entry on RIMM
[13:20] {Threei} it had clear resistance level
[13:20] {Threei} that indicated upward if broken
[13:20] {Threei} at the same time answering question on AAPL I said
[13:21] {Threei} it will follow the market but it has no own merit
[13:21] {Threei} that was exactly what transpired:
[13:21] {Threei} RIMM went off its trigger, AAPL just went with market
[13:21] {Threei} so, today's RIMM hart is like AAPL yesterday
[13:21] {Threei} followed market but had no its own formation to go of
[13:22] {Threei} it doesn't mean those are untradable,
[13:22] {Threei} they are,
[13:22] {Threei} you just need to go with them as you gain a feel for how they move with market
[13:22] {Threei} I don't have anything to call them of
[13:22] {Threei} and there is no need really,
[13:22] {Threei} market goes, they go

[14:02] {Threei} SERIOUSLY
[14:02] {Threei} - Notes current policy raises risk of higher inflation, more concerned with inflation than previously
[14:02] {Threei} - Growth risks still 'tilted' to downside, Monutues signal no change in rates in the near term

[14:12] {magoo} .75
[14:13] {Threei} LEH, worth a try long on pullback
[14:13] {Threei} .15 closest support
[14:14] {Threei} - Concerned about leaving rates low for too long. Current policy is raising the risk of higher inflation.
[14:14] {Threei} - Rate policy must "walk a fine line" between encouraging growth and discouraging inflation. If rates stay above 2% for too long, inflation will build.
[14:14] {Threei} - High commodity prices contribute to inflation in a situation where policy is accommodative.
[14:14] {Threei} - The sizable decline in the dollar is helping the US avoid recession, may avoid recession completely. USD decline has stimulated a boom in exports.
[14:14] {Threei} - The US is not repeating the mistakes of the 1970s, but notes today's situation is different, especially since inflation expecations are anchored.
[14:14] {Threei} - Expects both headline and core inflation to rise over the coming months. Fed must monitor inflation and inflation expectations closely.
[14:14] {Threei} - Sees GDP growth of 1-1.5% in 2H, expects Q3 growth will be helped by the fiscal stimulus, sees noticable softening in Q4.
[14:14] {Threei} - Asserts that the Fed takes its mandate very seriously, will maintain a stale economy and low inflation.

[14:51] {Threei} COX STATING ON CNBC THAT NAKED SHORT-SELLING NOT ALWAYS ILLEGAL. APPLYING NEW RULE FOR SPECIFIC FINANCIAL STOCKS IN 5 DAYS.
[14:51] {Threei} - says short sale rule will give investors confidence and that the emergency rule will not be a burden on the system
[14:51] {Threei} - notes it will apply to only 17 financial stocks beginning 5 days from now; reiterates the new rule will be in effect for 30 days and SEC will look into whether its appropriate to expand the rule marketwide
[14:52] {cosmo} there's certain beaches where they have it

Jul 15 2008

Session Time: Tue Jul 15 00:00:00 2008

[08:00] {Threei} ESLR
[08:00] {Threei} HALTED: SIGNS $1.2B SALES CONTRACT, THROUGH 2013, BACKLOG AT $3B WITH FIVE CUSTOMERS
[08:00] {Threei} - Signed a new long-term sales contract valued at approximately $1.2 billion with German-based IBC SOLAR AG. This contract extends through 2013 and brings the company's total contractual backlog to nearly $3 billion with 5 customers.
[08:00] {Threei} - The solar panels for these take-or-pay contracts will be manufactured at the Company's new 160 MW facility in Devens, Massachusetts, which opened in June, and at the Company's next factory, which is expected to open in 2010. To date, the Company has contracted approximately 70 percent of Devens expected capacity through 2010 and all of Devens capacity in 2011 through 2013.
[08:13] {Threei} Heard on the Street looks at the US government's plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - WSJ
[08:13] {Threei} - The article notes that Paulson made clear that the stock market losses of Fannie and Freddie would not prevent them from issuing debt.
[08:13] {Threei} - The WSJ notes that on Monday, the cost of insuring the debt of the two GSEs fell.
[08:13] {Threei} - The article note that dilution fears and concerns about government intervention could weigh on any future share sales by Fannie and Freddie.
[08:13] {Threei} - The article notes that it is most likely the government will seek to take a direct stake in the GSEs through a preferred issue with special rights because this will maintain the perception that the two companies are still owned by its shareholders.
[08:13] {Threei} - If the government acquires shares in the GSEs, it could seek to be paid a lower than market interest rate or defer payments until the companies are in better financial condition.
[08:13] {Threei} - WSJ notes that the Treasury still needs to address the capital issue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because if it does not funding could again become an issue and possibly force Paulson to come up with an actual nationalization plan.
[08:30] {Threei} UN ADVANCE RETAIL SALES: 0.1% V 0.4%E;

[09:26] {dino} lol
[09:28] {Threei} tension is higher and higher
[09:28] {Threei} let's stay in careful side
[09:29] {Threei} the extend of the crisis we are facing becomes much more clear for many ostriches
[09:29] {magoo} whats that mean?
[09:30] {Threei} a lot of traders, both amateur and pros got caught into longs on s
[09:30] {Threei} which part mags?
[09:30] {magoo} many ostriches
[09:30] {Threei} oh
[09:30] {cosmo} ostriges are wimps?
[09:30] {Threei} what does ostrich do when faces danger? :)
[09:31] {cosmo} i'd start kickin
[09:32] {cosmo} ESLR needs to hold 10 imo
[09:32] {Threei} FRE nosedive
[09:33] {Threei} ESLR
[09:33] {Threei} short idea
[09:33] {Threei} want a bounce
[09:33] {Threei} closest resistance is 10.20
[09:34] {Threei} anything above 10 should be a short
[09:34] {Threei} if can't break 10, then short 9.92 with 10.05 stop
[09:39] {Threei} doesn't look like FRE is going to hold 5
[09:40] {Threei} 5.19 shot half lot
[09:41] {Threei} stop above 5.40
[09:42] {cosmo} BEXP: Brigham Exploration announces Bakken discoveries, accelerated Williston Basin drilling program, planned Three Forks tests and updates '08 capital expenditure budgetBriefing.com(Tue 6:07am)
[09:42] {Threei} stop to 5.35
[09:42] {cosmo} BEXP now pulling back....
[09:42] {dino} hmmm, i guess the nyx is going out of business the way its down, sheesh
[09:46] {Threei} the way market acts you would think whole USA is going out of business
[09:48] {dino} europe is next
[09:48] {Threei} IMO... if whole world goes out of business, Europe will be there before USA
[09:50] {dino} lod dji
[09:51] {dino} 7/06 dji lows around 10668
[09:52] {Threei} ESLR 1:1
[09:52] {Threei} IMO, it has more downside
[09:52] {dino} imo thats where we are headed
[09:55] {Threei} MOODY'S CUTS PREFERRED STOCK AND FIANNCIAL STRENGTH RATING, DEBT RATINGS AFFIRMED
[09:56] {Threei} it's a good news, right? no money but a lot of valid liabilities
[09:57] {Threei} in today's upside-own world it must be a good news
[09:58] {dino} watching de fwlt fwiw
[10:03] {Threei} covering half ESLR
[10:05] {dino} add cme to that
[10:05] {Threei} FRE still looks like short to me
[10:05] {Threei} not sure of entry
[10:08] {dino} expiration week right? look for 5s and 0s imo
[10:09] {Threei} probably gotta try shorting into bounces to resistance, and be ready for multiple tries with small stops
[10:09] {Threei} 2.25 closest so far
[10:09] {Threei} 5.25
[10:10] {Threei} broken, no entry for now
[10:10] {Threei} 5.40 next
[10:10] {Threei} staying away at the moment, no clear read
[10:14] {Threei} hmmm... volume dropped on this FRE pullback
[10:14] {Threei} maybe bounce is better way here
[10:14] {Threei} 5.15 trigger for scalp
[10:15] {Threei} if stays above 5.10
[10:16] {hawkfan4} Bernake speaking now
[10:17] {Threei} lost support
[10:17] {Threei} Ben speak is a danger
[10:18] {cosmo} i wanna hear from Chauncey Gardener
[10:18] {dino} i was thinking jerry lewis
[10:19] {cosmo} that's close
[10:19] {dino} pcln blood

[10:26] {magoo} yea
[10:26] {Threei} no news... just out of the blue

[10:26] {hawkfan4} yep
[10:27] {Threei} no crying when FRE goes under 4? "why didn't we short the hell out of it"?

[10:44] {Threei} if you feel you want to trade it, observe it for a while
[10:44] {Threei} to get a feel for its ways
[10:44] {dptl} ye....it just was good set up isnt it?
[10:44] {Threei} chart wise, sure

[10:48] {Threei} - Less concerned about solvency than banks' ability to extend credit.
[10:48] {Threei} - IndyMac failure was inevitable, given its bad asset quality.
[10:48] {Threei} - Emphasizes the need for a bank-like regulator for the GSEs.
[10:48] {patience} tsx down 405 points
[10:49] {Threei} because of oil drop?
[10:49] {Threei} or some other elements of it cause big downside?
[10:49] {patience} chartered banks are tanking
[10:49] {Threei} DJI is down just 167 points
[10:49] {patience} i know
[10:49] {Threei} oh
[10:52] {magoo} p[owering up
[10:52] {Threei} I am getting strange feeling
[10:52] {magoo} lets hear it
[10:52] {Chaeron} cat ran up your pant leg again... that's all
[10:52] {Threei} nah, never mind, it's last week vodka talking
[10:53] {Threei} OK, on serious note
[10:53] {Threei} starts feeling like we are to see some stunning bounce today
[10:53] {Chaeron} we close strong green?
[10:53] {magoo} i have found that your feelings are usually quite good
[10:54] {Chaeron} yeah... MOAB was the bestest
[10:55] {Threei} a little more churning, then decisive break and big upward move... that's the vision I am having
[10:55] {Threei} if that is the scenario... LEH is .81 long
[10:56] {hawkfan4} have the same feeling. LEH super strong
[10:56] {magoo} if so..aapl would be a candidate
[10:56] {magoo} 300 shares
[10:56] {Threei} RIMM .50 break long
[10:57] {Threei} AAPL, no technical level to rely upon
[10:57] {Threei} but if this scenario plays out it will go
[11:00] {Threei} here goes RIMM
[11:00] {Chaeron} dang missed RIMM
[11:00] {Threei} with any market support 104 easy
[11:01] {Chaeron} in LEH .80
[11:01] {magoo} in rimm
[11:02] {magoo} in aapl now .72
[11:03] {Threei} LEH over 14 should be easy
[11:04] {Threei} look at market gop
[11:04] {Threei} go
[11:04] {Threei} 104
06[11:04] * Threei pats himself on the back
[11:04] {dino} gop more like it
[11:04] {Threei} 14 LEH
[11:05] {magoo} out rimm .14 TY vad
[11:05] {Threei} welcome sir
[11:05] {magoo} how about my AAPL?
[11:05] {magoo} 1 point
[11:05] {Threei} sure
[11:05] {Threei} AAPL was simply a matter of timing the entry with market
[11:05] {Threei} since it didn't havce its own technical level to base trigger on
[11:06] {magoo} out here .76 1 point aapl in 2 minues
[11:06] {Chaeron} out LEH 14.01 +0.21 Great job Vad... again?
[11:06] {Threei} [10:57] {Threei} but if this scenario plays out it will go
[11:06] {Threei} market is going to continue upward
[11:06] {Threei} with pullbacks of course, buit for now up is the play
[11:07] {Threei} how about this for "stunning bounce"?
[11:07] {Chaeron} beautiful
[11:07] {hawkfan4} vad, super timely prediction, awesome
[11:07] {Chaeron} any entries on pullbacks?
[11:07] {Threei} ty hawk... I have my monets
[11:07] {magoo} [10:56] {magoo} if so..aapl would be a candidate
[11:07] {magoo} 10:53] {magoo} i have found that your feelings are usually quite good
[11:07] {Chaeron} and I wonder why anyone goes to any other trading rooms :)
[11:07] {Threei} chaeron... yes but there won't be technicals for them
[11:08] {dino} wow just made up over 200 dji points
[11:08] {Threei} sh*t, I am good
[11:08] {Threei} lol
[11:09] {patience} yup
[11:09] {magoo} and humble he he
[11:09] {Threei} always
[11:09] {dptl} just how the heck did you do that? lol
[11:09] {Threei} and chaeron thought that strange feeling was after-effect of case of vodka
[11:10] {hawkfan4} out RIMM + 1.60, thx
[11:10] {Chaeron} noooo... I said it was the cat up your pants leg....
[11:10] {Threei} (actually it was)
[11:10] {Threei} wtg hawk
[11:10] {Chaeron} great one Hawk
[11:10] {hawkfan4} thx :)
[11:11] {dino} gj
[11:14] {dino} sm l cedc .25
[11:15] {magoo} hawk,,u dog:) er, um, bird
[11:17] {hawkfan4} lol, thx
[11:28] {GeoArb} great example of vad's dbi setup
[11:28] {GeoArb} TAP
[11:28] {Threei} dbi?
[11:28] {Threei} I'd say it's JBE
[11:28] {GeoArb} sorrry
[11:28] {GeoArb} not thinking
[11:29] {Threei} sorry won't cut it Geo... you will have to bring us your finest cheeses
[11:29] {GeoArb} :)
[11:31] {Threei} just how sound this management with trailing stops after 1:1 is
[11:31] {Threei} allowed us to close second half of our shorts with no loss
[11:32] {Threei} and profit from reversal on other stocks at the same time
[11:42] {Chaeron} .
[11:42] {magoo} ..
[11:52] {Threei} looking at WM trying to define is it short time yet
[11:53] {magoo} against the mkt?
[11:53] {Threei} it's close to solid resistance level... if can't break it, then any market hiccup should kill it
[11:54] {Threei} and risk is negligible
[11:56] {Threei} lety' see if this spike takes it over 4
[11:56] {Threei} if not, then any market retreat is a short signal for WM with very tight stop
[11:56] {GeoArb} ok tap has made my best day ever
[11:56] {GeoArb} cheese vad
[11:56] {Threei} wtg :)
[11:56] {GeoArb} still holdng
[11:56] {GeoArb} above 2 bucks on 2k shares
[11:56] {Threei} woohoo
[11:57] {Threei} studying pays off eh?
[11:57] {GeoArb} hehehehe'\
[11:57] {GeoArb} i have decided to chat less and read more
[11:57] {Threei} WM broke 4
[11:57] {Threei} no play
[11:57] {GeoArb} was too busy cracking jokes.... not good for newbie like me
[11:57] {patience} very nice Geo. I just screwed up TD trade. Sold it when i was down .21 and it promptly reversed and spiked up 80 cents
[11:58] {GeoArb} yeah...
[11:58] {Threei} what a selloff in oil
[11:59] {patience} so vad, in a market like this, do you tighten up your stops or give a bit more leeway
[11:59] {Threei} for me it's stock specific
[12:00] {Threei} if I feel I have a good grip on direction
[12:00] {patience} i rarely trade bank stocks and don't know their usual pattern
[12:00] {Threei} but volatility is a bit abnormal
[12:00] {patience} serves me right
[12:00] {Threei} I will cut the size down and increase stop
[12:00] {Threei} if volatility for my specific stock is as usual, then both position size and stop are as usual
[12:01] {Threei} also, I find that during such nervous times agfgreesive entries qork better for me
[12:01] {Threei} work
[12:02] {Threei} breakouts give good follow-through not as frequently as in normal, market
[12:02] {Threei} buit aggressive entry while increases amount of stops,
[12:02] {Threei} keeps size of stops down and allows for bigger wins
[12:03] {GeoArb} patience....my advice is to always keep an eye on the volatility value in the intelliscanner for the stocks
[12:03] {GeoArb} its a nice read
[12:03] {patience} i was 2 cents off being right....what a bastard stock. i hate losing. i think i will go sulk.
[12:04] {GeoArb} man TAP
[12:04] {GeoArb} feels like they are delivering cases right to my doorstep
[12:05] {GeoArb} the volatility value in intelliscan gives a good estimate of the individual stock whips
[12:06] {patience} i don't have intelliscan, i don't even have streaming data....i just eyeball it most of the time.
[12:07] {GeoArb} wow... i am not that experienced... maybe in time :)
[12:07] {patience} i'm on a laptop, limited space constraints
[12:10] {Threei} geo goes all scientific on us
[12:11] {Threei} next thing we know he uses beta and reads company statements
[12:12] {GeoArb} hehehe... i just try to match the stop loss with that number
