[10:53] {GeoArb} i dont think there is going to be one
[10:53] {Threei} may I offer a wording:
[10:54] {Threei} negative pace of withdrawal, means actually adding troops
[10:54] {Threei} boy, I would be good spin doctor at PR

Aug 20 2008

Session Time: Wed Aug 20 00:00:00 2008

[08:19] {Threei} 07:23am [LEH] Price Target lowered to $28 from $45 at Bernstein; Maintains market perform rating
[08:19] {Threei} [LEH] Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc Reportedly Goldman cuts earnings estimates for brokerage firms (timing uncertain)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts JPM Q3 EPS estimate to $0.40 from $0.64 (consensus estimate is $0.51e)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts LEH 2008 EPS estimate to -$9.65 from -$2.10 (consensus estimate is -$3.17e)
[08:19] {Threei} - Goldman cuts MS Q3 EPS estimate to $0.85 from $1.10 (consensus estimate is $0.88e)
[08:20] {Threei} these GS cuts from yesterday after hours
[08:21] {hawkfan4} good morning
[08:21] {Threei} good morning :)
[08:21] {Threei} may I make little confession?
[08:21] {hawkfan4} yes
[08:22] {Threei} couldn't resist and took LEH short on the close,
[08:22] {Threei} then saw afterhours drop and covered 12.60
[08:22] {Threei} glad I did both, lol
[08:23] {hawkfan4} :) nice. i took it too, but only covered a part after hours at .65. was hoping for a big morning drop
[08:23] {Threei} haha... I knew it
[08:24] {Threei} not sure why it's floating still this morning, the wight on its ankles is enormous
[08:24] {Threei} weight
[08:24] {Threei} but financials behaved against all logic way too opften over last months
[08:25] {Threei} and I am trained to see "against the logic" behavior as an opportunity to go against the crowd that follows obvious
[08:25] {Threei} so I am torn here
[08:25] {hawkfan4} yeah , i was just thinking about that too. hard to imagine it wants to rally, but hmmm
[08:25] {Threei} can't see LEH, FNM etc as long
[08:26] {Threei} and can't stay short against all my conditioning
[08:29] {brian3579} gm
[08:30] {Threei} brian :)
[08:30] {Threei} SATC
[08:30] {Threei} TO POWER NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST SINGLE ROOFTOP SOLAR ARRAY
[08:31] {Threei} when zI went to Costco to replenish the content of the fridge after vacation, saw interesting thing
[08:32] {Threei} big solar panel
[08:32] {Threei} $299
[08:32] {Threei} tried to remember its parameters to look up what it can do
[08:33] {Threei} but managed to remember them just long enough to forget before I got to the pen and paper
[08:33] {cosmo} 15W prolly..
[08:33] {hawkfan4} interesting, i have to hut costco soon, i'll look for it.
[08:33] {Threei} expected for a while these things to start appearing on a consumer level and becoming more and more useful and cost-effective
[08:34] {Threei} please let me know hawk, I don't expect myself to be there for couple of weeks
[08:34] {Threei} signage on the box said,
[08:34] {hawkfan4} i will
[08:34] {Threei} can provide backup power in case of outage
[08:35] {Threei} charge a lot of portable devices
[08:35] {Threei} in both 12 or 110 V
[08:35] {Threei} umm... in either

[08:44] {cosmo} or its close..
[08:44] {Threei} I had an impression there were three panels, not four
[08:44] {Threei} but can be mistaklen
[08:44] {Threei} afrter all, I was there after food, empty fridge etc, hard to focus
[08:44] {Threei} 60W

[10:41] {Threei} and UAUA is oil-dependent mover
[10:41] {GeoArb} i was thinking if i wasnt in this room i would be short hehehehe
[10:41] {GeoArb} but then i wouldnt have a scanner !
[10:42] {Threei} rofl

[10:49] {GeoArb} vad i am curious..
[10:49] {GeoArb} any reason you dont play gap fill/ gap and go setups?
[10:50] {Threei} I like them
[10:50] {Threei} I just don't actively scan for them
[10:50] {GeoArb} do you scan for them?
[10:50] {GeoArb} hhe
[10:50] {Onix} missed on VPHM
[10:50] {Threei} simply no room for more scans I guess :)
[10:50] {GeoArb} yeah
[10:50] {Threei} but if I stumble onto one of those while surfing, I do like them
[10:50] {Threei} if you scan for them, feel free to share
[10:51] {esemde} you have alot of screens Vad...what is your favorite
[10:51] {GeoArb} i am developing a scan bt would off course need your guidance on how to play em
[10:51] {GeoArb} i like gap and go better than gap fill
[10:51] {Threei} I don't have favorite really ese
[10:52] {esemde} if you had to choose...which one would it be
[10:52] {Threei} hmmm

Aug 19 2008

Session Time: Tue Aug 19 00:00:00 2008

[07:59] {Threei} U.S. financials: A large U.S. bank will soon collapse - Former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff
[07:59] {Threei} - "The U.S. is not out of the woods. I think the financial crisis is at the halfway point, perhaps. I would even go further to say 'the worst is to come'," he told a financial conference.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We're not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we're going to see a whopper, we're going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks," said Rogoff.
[07:59] {Threei} - "We have to see more consolidation in the financial sector before this is over," he said.
[07:59] {Threei} - "Probably Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - despite what U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said - these giant mortgage guarantee agencies are not going to exist in their present form in a few years."
[07:59] {Threei} - "There was this view early on in the crisis that sovereign wealth funds could save everybody. Investment banks did something stupid, they lost money in the sub-prime, they're great buys, sovereign wealth funds come in and make a lot of money by buying them. That view neglects the point that the financial system has become very bloated in size and needed to shrink," he added.
[08:02] {hawkfan4} scary stuff
[08:02] {Threei} whole thing unfolding over last half year or so is scary
[08:02] {Threei} almost apocalyptic
[08:03] {Threei} this is potentially of "end of empire" caliber
[08:03] {Threei} and when I think of alternatives for the ruler of the world, I shudder
[08:04] {hawkfan4} yikes, me too
[08:05] {Threei} it's not really easy to imagine the end of USA empire any time soon, it's sheer size and might are still beyond the reach of anything and anyone,ill
[08:05] {Threei} size of US economy is larger than three next combined
[08:05] {Threei} but then again,
[08:06] {Threei} tell to someone in 80s that Soviet empire will be gone in 10 years
[08:06] {Threei} who would believe it?
[08:07] {Threei} OK, on a lighter note
[08:07] {Threei} here is the news item I just read
[08:07] {hawkfan4} :)
[08:08] {Threei} ·In fixed income the results from the DMO's meeting with the GEMMs showed that most GEMMs favored either a 2017 or 2022 I/L GILT to begin the quarter
[08:08] {Threei} huh?
[08:08] {Threei} lol
[08:08] {hawkfan4} lol, might as well be Russian for me
[08:08] {Threei} not a single abbreviation in that sentence that I could understand
[08:09] {Threei} watching FNM
[08:09] {Threei} not taking any position yet
[08:09] {Threei} it lost 6 but buying came in strongly
[08:09] {Threei} took it back
[08:10] {hawkfan4} in SOL small for a bounce, stop 27.20
[08:10] {hawkfan4} 17.10 i mean
[08:10] {Threei} I think this thing goes down with no bottom in sight
[08:10] {Threei} FNM that is
[08:10] {Threei} but gotta be careful, spikes can be vicious
[08:11] {hawkfan4} yep, stopped sol, speaking of bottomless
[08:11] {Threei} UAUA new highs
[08:12] {hawkfan4} flipped it overnight +.27
[08:15] {Threei} nice
[08:15] {Threei} so next major support for USO to loe is 90, right?
[08:15] {Threei} lose
[08:16] {hawkfan4} yep
[08:18] {Threei} wow
[08:18] {Threei} INCA bid on UAUA
[08:18] {Threei} if true
[08:19] {hawkfan4} a monster
[08:19] {Threei} let's see if it stays after couple sales
[08:20] {Threei} sheesh, chasing up
[08:21] {hawkfan4} in .46
[08:21] {Threei} haha
[08:21] {Threei} in .42
[08:21] {hawkfan4} :)
[08:21] {Threei} 500 at .40 and 500 and .44
[08:22] {Threei} offering .60
[08:23] {Threei} some "probing" sales, bid holds
[08:25] {Threei} absorbing sales... he IS real
[08:25] {Threei} out
[08:25] {Threei} will try to re-enter lower
[08:25] {hawkfan4} me too, out .50
[08:32] {Threei} FNM does a lot of dancing here
[08:32] {Threei} new bidder came to UAUA... ugh
[08:33] {Threei} bidding .56
[08:33] {Threei} got 200
[08:34] {Threei} 765
[08:35] {Threei} OK, enough for premarket play, canceled the rest
[08:35] {hawkfan4} you're much more patient than i am, grabbed those .60's when they were offered
[08:36] {Threei} there were a few prints at .56, so I thought maybe hidden offer
[08:36] {Threei} offering .70
[08:40] {Threei} USO selling
[08:43] {Threei} message to UAUA big bidders: stop bidding, take out those offers (mine included)
[08:44] {hawkfan4} no kidding, quit dilly dallying and take it up to 16! :)
[08:45] {Threei} yeah
[08:45] {Threei} ugh, USO upticking
[08:45] {hawkfan4} out, oild spiking

[09:07] {cosmo} oh
[09:08] {judijim} good morning all
[09:08] {Threei} jj :)
[09:09] {Threei} initial assumptions for the plays today: looking to short FNM at some point, looking for UAUA long if oil continues slide
[09:09] {cosmo} seniors should get a discount then
[09:10] {Threei} so far 6.20 is FNM's resistance
[09:10] {Raven}
3 they do at some groc stores around here
[09:10] {Raven}
3 but you have to remember to tell them that you are old
[09:11] {magoo} thats a heck of a uso spike
[09:11] {cosmo} its so hard to remember that
[09:11] {Raven}
3 I know
[09:11] {Raven}

[09:19] {peterg} This is a test of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking good morning group. Now I can talk without typing
[09:19] {peterg} So I can fill the space endlessly with chatter
[09:19] {Threei} wow

[09:19] {peterg} That's next
[09:19] {peterg} Them on to world domination
[09:20] {Threei} yeah, make sure it doesn't accidentally enters orders
[09:20] {peterg} I think I'll go back to typing is a little more relaxing
[09:20] {patience} tell it: buy patience 10,000 shares of google
[09:20] {peterg} done!
[09:21] {patience} very generous of you peter, ty :))))
[09:21] {pita} Dragon is great - I use it all the time - but not for tradong
[09:21] {peterg} there is now a version ten, mine is 9 but pretty good.
[09:21] {Threei} I resist progress.. but maybe I need to try it
[09:21] {pita} I have 9 too
[09:22] {pita} It doesn't mis-spell
[09:22] {Threei} haha
[09:22] {peterg} it is good for a lot of communication, but it can really screw up
[09:22] {Threei} don't underestimate me
[09:22] {pita} sometimes you get gibberish
[09:22] {Threei} with my prononciation it WILL misspell
[09:22] {peterg} it will force a word
[09:23] {peterg} on you.
[09:23] {GeoArb} yeah it doesnt do well with accents
[09:23] {pita} there is always Rosetta stone
[09:23] {Threei} is there trial for it?
[09:23] {pita} don't know
[09:30] {Onix} Am I still logged in?
[09:30] {Threei} yes sir

[09:30] {peterg} maybe
[09:30] {pita} take a vote
[09:30] {Onix} tknx
[09:30] {Threei} FNM .18 short
[09:30] {Threei} if stays below .25

[09:32] {Threei} stop .21 for the second half
[09:33] {Threei} out for now
[09:36] {Threei} watching USO for loss of 91
[09:36] {Threei} if happens, UAUA should launch
[09:36] {Threei} if breaks .25, no play
[09:39] {Threei} UAUA went up in anticipation... USO still holding support
[09:39] {Threei} if you took it aggressively, take profit here
[09:40] {Threei} USO is really unclear in this range
[09:40] {Threei} if loses 91, UAUA is still a play on .50 break
[09:41] {Threei} on the other end of spectre, USO is long on .25 break
[09:41] {Threei} smaaaal shares
[09:42] {Threei} in aggresively
[09:42] {magoo} .36
[09:43] {Threei} .19 stop'

[09:55] {GeoArb} same here
[09:55] {Threei} OK, no excuse for not profiting on UAUA here

[10:05] {GeoArb} good to be pressing keys though
[10:08] {Threei} SOLR small shares long on pullback under .50
[10:09] {Threei} not going to take offer
[10:09] {Threei} under .50 or no play
[10:09] {Threei} .40 -.45 is entry idea
[10:09] {Threei} with stop under .30
[10:10] {esemde} I like that one Vad.....i'll wait with you
[10:11] {Threei} this one got away

[10:21] {magoo} half .85
[10:22] {Threei} see, my problem with it is,
[10:22] {magoo} going to 4?
[10:22] {Threei} I am confident it goes much lower
[10:22] {Threei} but it won't be any kind of straight line
[10:22] {Threei} and bounces will be very tough to handle
[10:23] {magoo} we need to try and sh the bopunce..i know ..tough but
[10:23] {Threei} so partial out is ideal way for it
[10:23] {Threei} control the risk and give it a chance
[10:25] {Threei} LEH
[10:25] {Threei} 13.99 short
[10:25] {Threei} half lot

[10:42] {GeoArb} economist had a semi positive report on US real estate
[10:42] {Threei} probably trailing LEH to .15 makes sense here
[10:42] {GeoArb} over the weekend
[10:43] {Threei} if it doesn't break down soon, no need to endure bigger bounce

[11:06] {Onix} you look distinguished
[11:06] {Threei} let me copy and save that
[11:07] {Threei} not often I hear anything of kind
[11:07] {GeoArb} hehe now i gotta go back and check
[11:07] {Threei} LEH, either makes double bottom here or breaks down,
[11:07] {Threei} levels are
[11:08] {Threei} for bouble bottom confirmation .88
[11:08] {Threei} for breakdown .70
[11:08] {Threei} so you have your structure for setup
[11:08] {Threei} long at .88 if holding above .72
[11:08] {Threei} or short at .72 break if staying under .90
[11:09] {Threei} both plays are half lot
[11:09] {Threei} for those who hold the balance from otiginal play, that's a new stop
[11:09] {Threei} .90
[11:09] {Threei} breakdown
[11:09] {Threei} good
[11:09] {Threei} bidding .60 for the balance
[11:10] {esemde} hmmmm thought i was gonna be stopped there
[11:11] {Onix} ss LEH @ 13.68
[11:11] {Threei} too vertical into support ese... usually bounces after that
[11:14] {esemde} tks
