[09:12] {dino} gm all
[09:13] {Threei} dino :)
[09:13] {_maga} Vad , do tape reading principle are applicable to futures?
[09:13] {Threei} as a main idea, sure
[09:13] {Threei} particularities are different somewhat
[09:13] {_maga} ok tx
[09:13] {Threei} more shakeouts, more stop gunning
[09:14] {_maga} more difficult...
[09:14] {Threei} in a way
[09:14] {Threei} I'd put it this way:
[09:14] {Threei} trading futs requires style adjustments somewhat difdferent from stocks
[09:15] {Threei} also, as with any single tool,
[09:15] {Threei} there is a problem of what to do when it trades in a way that doesn't match your system, your approach, yolur method of reading
[09:16] {Threei} you are likely to find a stock that trades on its own merits when market overall is not what your read handles well
[09:16] {Threei} but if you are confined to a single tool, you have no such luxury
[09:17] {_maga} I understand what you mean... you have a single ( or few) chart to work with
[09:17] {_maga} if doesn't fit your way... you haev to wait for the day after..
[09:17] {_maga} at least
[09:17] {Threei} I prefer stocks, with some general market trading sprinkled on top as complementary tool
[09:18] {Threei} in a form of futures, or Qs or QID
[09:18] {ese} good morning...

[11:32] {Threei} with attempt to hold it for big size move
[11:32] {dino} i would've trailed tightly once i had .50 on it, and tighter as it went
[11:32] {dino} different ideas

[13:20] {Threei} with your entry it was 1:1

[13:21] {Threei} with the way market trades today...
[13:21] {Threei} I'd say anything beyond 3 cents consitutes too greedy :)
[13:21] {lisa_jay} Today yes.
[13:22] {Onix} :)
[13:22] {Onix} on 200 to 400 shares, 3c is not really worth it
[13:23] {Threei} well, 3 cents is exaggeration

[15:17] {dawg} tired of chewing on my tail
[15:17] {Threei} lol
[15:17] {dawg} .)
[15:18] {Onix} round and round we go to nowhere
[15:23] {Threei} NQ is trying for new low
[15:23] {Threei} but I somehow don't get a feel of selloff coming
[15:24] {Threei} maybe because of ridiculously low volume
[15:25] {Onix} on daily it looks like first day of the next leg down?
[15:26] {Threei} not really
[15:26] {Threei} look at last three days
[15:26] {Threei} red green red
[15:27] {Threei} all bottomingg (so at least) at the esame level
[15:27] {Threei} and volume goes lower and lower each day
[15:27] {lisa_jay} People are expecting the reverse head and shoulders pattern on indexes.
[15:27] {Threei} typical undecisive pattern
[15:27] {Threei} can resolve any way
[15:27] {Threei} technically yes, lisa's correct
[15:28] {Threei} H&S is shaping up
[15:28] {Onix} ty Vad, learning every day
[15:29] {Threei} it's just that so much uncertainty weighs on market
[15:29] {Threei} autoindustry... more bank troubles... new adminustration

Nov 07 2008

Another "barely in profit" day. Mostly scalps, not much moved for more than that. Day started with couple stops, one of them (on NVDA) especially rude - haven't seen this stock moving in such manner. Just look its intraday chart. SOLF and QQQQ later fixed the damage and took the day in green.


Session Time: Fri Nov 07 00:00:00 2008
[08:35] {_maga} good morning
[08:37] {Threei} Good morning RT

[08:57] {Threei} you know, if I would be a market player with really huge capital

[08:58] {amarg} gm lisa
[08:58] {brian3579} gm all
[08:58] {Threei} If I had a little in the market, I would take it out and wait
[08:58] {Threei} brian :)
[08:58] {Threei} if I were fully commited,
[08:58] {Threei} I would close my eyes, put my hands around my head rock back and forth and pray
[08:59] {Onix} Good morning all
[08:59] {Threei} onix :)
[08:59] {Threei} I mean, this guy is a huge unknown to such a degree
[09:00] {Threei} what he does may amount to nothing but fizzle
[09:00] {Threei} or nothing short of revolution
[09:02] {Threei} I just looked at the chart of ALTH... if you remember what event I was hunting for on this one and totally missed, you'll join me in bitter crying and loud screams
[09:03] {Threei} be back in 5

[11:19] {Threei} no
[11:19] {dino} upgraded everywhere today
[11:19] {ese} i'm likin the way NVDA looks ........but thats just me
[11:19] {Threei} GM
[11:20] {Threei} REPORTS Q3 -$4.45 V -$3.70E, R $37.9B V $39.4BE
[11:20] {Threei} - Global market share 13% -0.7% y/y
[11:20] {Threei} - Q3 impairment charge
[11:20] {Threei} - GM reported charges of $652M relating to its commitments as part of Delphi's bankruptcy proceedings, $251M for impairment of investments in GMAC, and $641M in restructuring-related and other charges.
[11:20] {ese} hawk your long a couple NVDA too arn't you?
[11:20] {hawkfan4} i sold before earnings, 8 ish
[11:21] {ese} nice.......
[11:21] {dino} qcom sm s again, .10
[11:27] {Threei} - Even if GM implements the planned operating actions that are substantially within its control, GM's estimated liquidity during the remainder of 2008 will approach the minimum amount necessary to operate its business.
[11:27] {Threei} - Looking into the first two quarters of 2009,the company's estimated liquidity will fall significantly short of that amount unless economic and automotive industry conditions significantly improve, it receives substantial proceeds from asset sales, takes more aggressive working capital initiatives, gains access to capital markets and other private sources of funding, receives government funding under one or more current or future programs, or some combination of the foregoing.
[11:27] {Threei} - The success of GM's plans necessarily depends on other factors, including global economic conditions and the level of automotive sales, particularly in the United States and Western Europe.
[11:27] {Threei} - Expects adjusted operating cash flow in Q4 to be much improved q/q, and more consistent with the first half of the year
[11:27] {Threei} - Will announce further information on liquidity in 8-K later today
[11:29] {Onix} yes GM should do very well, the government is gong to "give" billions, just like AIG

[11:31] {Threei} strangely enough, doesn't look this way fo now
[11:31] {Threei} with this endless carpet-bombing of bad news, market stays green
[11:32] {dino} qcom stopped -.22
[11:32] {Threei} we got job numbers worst ever, GM, housing sales
[11:32] {ese} oversold to my thinking vad.....
[11:32] {Threei} and still no selloff
[11:32] {patience} now who has a never ending supply of money to keep the markets green
[11:32] {Threei} this is price/information divergence
[11:33] {Threei} if not for the major policy speech ahead, I'd say we rally
[11:33] {dino} how bottoms form
[11:33] {Threei} we still may
[11:33] {Threei} exactly dino
[11:33] {Threei} bleakest news posible
[11:33] {dino} time will tell, imo 8100 must hold or all bets off
[11:33] {Threei} yet market refuses to go down
[11:33] {Threei} if this happens today, bottom is in
[11:34] {lisa_jay} Obama at 2 today. Hope he does not disappoint.
[11:34] {Threei} barring speech announcing taxing your breathing and giving proceeds to those who is too lazy to even breathe
[11:34] {dino} disappoint, we still haven't closed positive w/him pres. elect
[11:34] {dino} thats the problem
[11:34] {Threei} GM low from 10/10 is 4
[11:35] {lisa_jay} :-)
[11:35] {magoo} u see how low ford is?
[11:35] {Threei} yeah lisa... what is it he can say that inspires vs disappoints...
[11:35] {dino} athn broken, stopped again, done w/it
[11:35] {Threei} I mean, he talks well
[11:35] {Threei} but is it enough at this stage?
[11:36] {Threei} F is within 4 cents from that low
[11:37] {dino} tax and spend. thats what he will say. giving it to uaw now
[11:38] {Onix} it seems as if the market is teetering on broken crutches ... govenment bailouts propping it up
[11:38] {Threei} market shows some signs of life even with GM dropping
[11:38] {Threei} well Onix... that's a lot of money sitting on sideline
[11:38] {Threei} it needs to find outlet
[11:40] {Onix} true, but with so many people loosing jobs and retail spending going down so much, how can market go up?
[11:40] {Threei} it will when it feels like economy's bottom is in sight
[11:41] {Threei} market is future-discounting mechanism
[11:41] {Threei} it will go up much earlier than economy shows real signs of recovery'
[11:42] {Onix} ok i think i understand a little better now, thanks
[11:42] {Threei} practical outcome of it is,
[11:42] {Threei} smart money will position itself for the recovery in dvance,
[11:43] {Threei} crowd will join only when economy recovers,
[11:43] {Threei} paying much higher prices in the market
[11:43] {Threei} and smart money will be waiting for panic buying by those who feel they miss the train
[11:43] {Threei} and unload into their buying
[11:44] {Geo} in .1 out .3 GM
[11:44] {Onix} like Buffett going for GE @ $27 and it is now @ @19?
[11:44] {Geo} 200 shares only
[11:45] {Threei} ask Buffet why he did it
[11:45] {dino} cls sm l .80
[11:45] {Threei} his time horizons and ability to wait it out are different,
[11:46] {Threei} so are the conditions under which he buys
[11:46] {Threei} as far as I remember, his GS and GE buys were not simply open market investements
[11:46] {ese} outta here for the long weekend all.....take care
[11:46] {Threei} take care ese
[11:46] {Threei} those were preferred shares
[11:46] {hawkfan4} cya es
[11:47] {Onix} true, he got 10% interest deals as well i think
[11:47] {Threei} you or I are not really privileged to buy like that, are we
[11:47] {Onix} no way!!!!
[11:47] {Onix} not me, maybe yo
[11:52] {Threei} Qs is a long off 31

[12:17] {Geo} can we just cancel all govt pensions
[12:18] {Geo} youdd see some serious shrinking :)
[12:18] {Geo} no one will apply
[12:19] {Threei} aside of general economy standing and people's desire and ability to buy their cars,
[12:20] {Threei} they face huge challenge on the path to financial health: all the social obligations
[12:20] {Threei} unions, health benefits, pensions
[12:20] {Threei} they would have to trim a lot of fat to becomne leaner and healthier
[12:20] {Threei} now,
[12:20] {Threei} does it go in line with new prez program?
[12:22] {dino} what should happen is bankruptcy, common worthless, union contracts voided, etc. bondholders get new common and string survive. whatever happened to capitalism?
[12:22] {dino} strong
[12:22] {dino} too much capacity
[12:23] {Threei} capitalism discredited itself dino... haven't you heard?
[12:23] {Threei} brotherly love is in
[12:23] {Threei} you are magoo's keeper
[12:24] {elpaso} dino, democracies are not historically long lived. when the majority start to vote themselves benefits at the expense of the state it is shortly finished.
[12:24] {dino} dino walks away from it all
[12:24] {Threei} I go with you

[12:30] {Threei} F CEO: OUR LIQUIDITY IS SUFFICIENT FOR NOW - CONF CALL
[12:31] {Threei} FED'S LOCKHART: DO NOT COUNT ON EXPORTS TO SAVE THE US, PROBLEMS WILL RISE MORE, SIGNS OF IMPROVING CREDIT MARKETS MAY BE A FALSE DAWN
[12:31] {Threei} what are they all doing today?
[12:31] {Chaeron} hey... were you guys going to leave without me?????/
[12:32] {dptl} is that a long weekend?

[12:33] {Chaeron} you guys forget I bartended for many years and am handy to have around.........
[12:37] {dino} handy to have around...hmm i gues he could wait on us
[12:38] {elpaso} I don't know about that Threei, one thing that amazes me about western democracies is that there are many generous wealthy people. More than Ms. Rand imagined.
[12:39] {Chaeron} Wait on you? Wait on this:
06[12:39] * Chaeron slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[12:40] {Threei} well... we shall see in fullness of time...
[12:40] {Threei} I just have this nagging suspicion that it's one thing to give when you can
[12:40] {Threei} and completely another to be made to give, without asking your opinion
[12:41] {dino} ouch...not sure we want that attitude
[12:42] {Threei} I lived in society where distribution was as even as you can get
[12:42] {Threei} not oretty
[12:42] {Threei} motivation is zero
[12:43] {Threei} lazy bastards are kings
[12:43] {Threei} hard workers are slaves
[12:43] {dino} want proof, rent to a couple section 8 tenants, ugh!
[12:44] {dino} never again, nice homes wrecked in weeks, then they complain stuff is broken and brag that they are knocked up w/o marriage, because they get more govt checks
[12:44] {magoo} quit referring to me as lazy
[12:45] {Chaeron} magoo, you rent from dino?
[12:45] {Chaeron} :))
[12:45] {dino} lol
[12:46] {dino} not anymore he doesn't
[12:46] {Threei} rofl
[12:46] {Chaeron} not since he was knocked up..
[12:46] {dino} :)
[12:49] {peterg} you guys are on a Friday roll! :)
[12:54] {Threei} lol
[12:58] {dino} you should see magoos rolls, more than bakery
[12:59] {Threei} anyone did a few SOLF scalps on bounces?
[12:59] {Threei} or no one pays attention?
[12:59] {magoo} actually..i hit fslr twice
[12:59] {Threei} how did it take it?
[13:02] {lisa_jay} Solf Scalps Vad? How to play them?
[13:03] {Threei} look at 1 min
[13:03] {Threei} bounces from clear support levels
[13:03] {Threei} roughly coordinated with market moves
[13:03] {Threei} first time when it dropped into .40, I mentioned it
[13:03] {Threei} it went over .60
[13:04] {Threei} then did a few of the same kind of bounces from .30 and .20
[13:04] {dino} clf stop to .28
[13:06] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Vad.
[13:06] {dino} to .39
[13:07] {lisa_jay} Is this type of set up more likely to work on certain days vs others?
[13:08] {dino} out +.59
[13:10] {Threei} it's quite standard setup lisa
[13:11] {Threei} just gotta observe and make sure it's happening
[13:11] {Threei} stops are failry tight on this kind
[13:11] {Threei} you buy very close to support, so your stop in just under
[13:11] {lisa_jay} Do we wait for the strength to enter?
[13:11] {Threei} watch it right now:
[13:11] {lisa_jay} Ok
[13:11] {Threei} it retreated into .20 support,
[13:12] {Threei} NQ weakness took it there
[13:12] {Threei} now, NQ reverses, so should SOLF
[13:12] {Threei} watch NQ, keep your finger on a trigger with limit .25-.26
[13:13] {Threei} NQ upticking, big bid jumped in
[13:15] {lisa_jay} Paper trading this Vad, Stop where?
[13:15] {Threei} .20 if getting hit
[13:15] {Threei} if we had bids just under .20, then stop would there
[13:15] {lisa_jay} Thanks
[13:15] {Threei} but there are none at the moment
[13:15] {Threei} so have to exit if .20 getting sold
[13:17] {Threei} (US) TREASURY'S KASHKARI: SEEDS OF THE CURRENT CRISIS WERE PLANTED OVER THE LAST DECADE, HAS NOT RULED OUT PROVIDING FUNDS OUTSIDE THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
[13:17] {Threei} - Declines in housing prices are not over yet, home prices adjust downward very slowly.
[13:17] {Threei} - Government intervention has unintended consequences, yet taxpayers are helped when failing banks are taken over
[13:17] {Threei} - Markets remain fragile despite intervention, although there have been signs of improvement since the implementation of TARP began. Compensation rules under TARP "have teeth.", prudent acquisitons by participating banks are reasonable
[13:17] {Threei} - Prudent banking mergers could be beneficial. Treasury does not want to micromanage banks. Treasury will not exercise voting rights in banks
[13:17] {Threei} FED'S LOCKHART: FED COULD OPERATE WITH A FED FUNDS RATE AT 0%, US REMAINS 'CREDITWORTHY'
[13:17] {Threei} - Remarks that National Debt remains in acceptable boundaries

[13:19] {Threei} how come this guy just won't go away
[13:19] {elpaso} threei, is there something about the way solf trades in spurts that you like? the level 2 is easy to read when its not moving much.
[13:20] {Threei} well, I like stocks that trade more smoothly as a rule
[13:20] {Threei} but it's personality is different
[13:22] {Threei} market is hesitant
[13:22] {Threei} need NQ to break 1270 for the trade to gain legs
[13:26] {hawkfan4} QLD .19, stop .07
[13:28] {magoo} barak got mkt on freeze here
[13:29] {Threei} here comes NQ

[13:30] {Chaeron} oh ok... *whew*
[13:30] {Threei} next spike is exit, so now room for new buys
[13:31] {Threei} and if NQ gives up and .30 geting hit, get out
[13:31] {Chaeron} you mean NO room for new buys?
[13:31] {dawg} also in from .26 back aways
[13:31] {Threei} right
[13:34] {Threei} hmmm

[13:41] {Chaeron} out... +.01

[13:54] {lisa_jay} yes. Thanks for going over it Vad.
[13:57] {Chaeron} try SOLF again here?
[13:58] {Threei} looks fine chart wise, but the closer we are to the speech, the less meaningful are moves
[13:59] {Threei} imagine prez saying we go solar all in,
[13:59] {Threei} thing explodes to 8 or 9 or 15 or whatever
[13:59] {Threei} imagine him saying, well, money's tough, will have to put it on hold for now
[14:00] {Threei} thind drops to 2
[14:00] {Threei} lol
[14:01] {hawkfan4} i'd give it a try at 2

[14:11] {cosmo} ?
[14:12] {dino} obama getting cocky, making us wait
[14:12] {cosmo} the president is near...
[14:14] {Chaeron} you heard what he said he does after making a speech in front of large crowds, no? He "loves to watch them (crowd) watching me."
[14:15] {cosmo} does he give them stage fright?
[14:16] {Chaeron} lol
[14:16] {dino} why not wait until after close
[14:16] {Threei} isn't it a myth cosmo?
[14:16] {Threei} oh wait
[14:17] {Threei} since when it stopped us from implementation
[14:17] {cosmo} yes...first you do the myth, then the math...

[09:21] {Threei} watching WFC as a short candidate
[09:22] {cosmo} CSCO pre mkt high = 16.83 fwiw
[09:23] {dino} lisa, lvs "going concern", real$
[09:23] {Threei} C another possible short
[09:23] {Onix} WFG @ 28.80 Vad?
[09:24] {Threei} no setup yet
[09:24] {Threei} just a acandidate to watch at this point
[09:24] {Onix} ty
[09:25] {lisa_jay} Thanks Dino
[09:27] {Threei} generally, working assumption so far is continuation of yesterday's selling
[09:28] {Onix} a beautiful bounce here for WFC hey?
[09:31] {magoo} still thinking short WFC vad?
[09:31] {ese} ATVI
[09:32] {Threei} Short Setup: WFC 29.90 break half lot if stays under 30.15
[09:33] {dawg} in wfc
[09:33] {Onix} in
[09:34] {magoo} in .02
[09:34] {dino} tbsi l .65, stop lod
[09:35] {Threei} Short Setup: C 12.44 if stays under 12.60
[09:35] {dino} drys sm l .30, stop .94
[09:36] {Threei} stopped WFC
[09:36] {lisa_jay} Stopped WFC.
[09:36] {dawg} stopped wfc
[09:36] {Threei} quite a recovery in the market
[09:36] {dptl} stopped wfc
[09:36] {magoo} me too
[09:37] {magoo} too fast too
[09:37] {dino} ci sm l .30
[09:42] {Threei} LVS
[09:42] {Threei} COULD SUSPEND DEVELOPMENTS, LOOKING TO RAISE CAPITAL TO AVOID POTENTIAL DEFAULTS
[09:42] {amarg} uaua is looking good, any trade?
[09:42] {Threei} on pullback, maybe
[09:42] {Threei} not a stock for chasing
[09:43] {Threei} there you go
[09:43] {Threei} 30 cents drop in one gasp
[09:44] {Threei} Long Setup: VPHM half lot 13.10
[09:45] {Threei} if big offer gets eaten
[09:45] {Threei} and if stays above 12.90
[09:45] {Threei} UAUA did that teleprotation thing again
[09:46] {Threei} if you watch it carefully and act very quickly, this is almost constant pattern on it
[09:47] {Threei} offer moved up on VPHM...
[09:47] {Threei} moving target
[09:48] {Threei} tough one, let's probably drop it
[09:48] {lisa_jay} ok
[09:49] {dino} drys stopped -.36
[09:49] {dino} tbsi stopped -.40
[09:49] {dino} blew the scalps, idiot award to diono today
[09:50] {magoo} wfc vad short?
[09:50] {Threei} no setup
[09:51] {magoo} loss 50?
[09:51] {Threei} and I don't like how it retreats just a tad while market drops
[09:51] {Threei} something's not right with this short
[09:52] {Threei} at some point it will work but so far each retreat looks more like a trap
[09:54] {Threei} look at this market drop and WFC barely losing 20 cents and immediately bouncing back
[09:54] {Threei} UAUA
[09:54] {Threei} bounce candidate off .50
[09:55] {lisa_jay} To short or long?
[09:55] {Threei} bounce after drop is long
[09:56] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[09:56] {Geo} half out .68
[09:56] {Threei} if got it, take scalp here
[09:58] {Threei} UAUA short became available for laser
[09:58] {dino} fwlt sm l .75
[09:58] {lisa_jay} Vad, with this kind of bounce plays, 10c stop?
[10:00] {Threei} this is generalization lisa
[10:00] {Threei} with this particular play, idea would be to enter around .50 with stop under .40
[10:01] {lisa_jay} thanks.
[10:02] {Threei} US TSY FINANCE ANNOUNCEMENT ON IRAN LATER TODAY
[10:02] {Threei} huh?
[10:07] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .60 breakdown if stays below .75
[10:09] {Threei} invalidated but short idea is still there
[10:09] {Threei} looking how to modify it
[10:10] {dino} ci stopped. taking break
[10:10] {Chaeron} good morning all
[10:10] {Threei} chaeron :)
[10:10] {lisa_jay} Hi Chaeron.
[10:11] {ese} CCCCCHHHHHHH.....

[10:13] {Geo} what? no.... was all out at 80
[10:13] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks.
[10:13] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .90 breakdown if stays below 26
[10:15] {Threei} 1:1, cover half or take scalp
[10:15] {Onix} i was too late for ADBE this time
[10:18] {magoo} probs here today on our side
[10:23] {magoo} hello??
[10:23] {lisa_jay} Magoo?
[10:23] {magoo} ok..ty
[10:23] {magoo} was booted out
[10:29] {lisa_jay} Now the Adbe works...
[10:29] {magoo} what u lookin at vad?
[10:29] {Threei} all around... trying to find anything readable
[10:31] {dino} fwlt stopped
[10:36] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .54 breakdown if stays below .70
[10:36] {dino} -7.5% since tuesday's close, getting close, imo
[10:36] {Threei} at some point support should stop holding finally
[10:37] {Threei} somarket could flush down
[10:37] {dino} support hasn't been holding 700 pts in 1.3 days
[10:38] {dino} 8900 area i'm watching for
[10:38] {Threei} I am talkihng about this particular ADBE setup
[10:38] {dino} other than that i show 8144
[10:38] {dino} ok, sorry
[10:38] {dino} :)
06[10:38] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4
[10:39] {magoo} magoo kicks adbe in groin
06[10:39] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4 endowed with nails
[10:39] {dino} dino just walks away
[10:39] {Geo} sheesh
[10:39] {magoo} magoo kicks in b@lls
[10:39] {Geo} what a pacifist bunch
06[10:39] * Threei hits ADBE over the head with 2x4 endowed with rusty nails
[10:40] {magoo} adbe punches magoo in face
[10:41] {Threei} ok, flush in progress
[10:41] {dawg} in adbe
[10:41] {dptl} in.52
[10:41] {Threei} enough of those bounces market... just drop
[10:41] {Onix} in ss ADBE @ .58
[10:42] {_maga} in ADBE .54
[10:42] {Onix} just 100 shares though
[10:43] {Onix} 3 losses in a row makes me skittish
[10:43] {Threei} see geo... violence works
[10:43] {Geo} half out
[10:43] {Threei} half out ADBE
[10:43] {Threei} scalpers know what to do
[10:44] {dawg} half out adbe
[10:44] {Threei} magoo... congratulations on a quality violence
[10:44] {Threei} stop .61 for the balance
[10:45] {magoo} :)
[10:45] {Threei} or .55 if you are extremely skittish
[10:45] {_maga} out +0.2 tx vad!!
[10:45] {Threei} welcome sir
[10:45] {lisa_jay} 22c thanks Vad.
[10:45] {Threei} welcome sirlisa :)
[10:46] {Threei} another leg of flushdown is coming
[10:46] {Chaeron} ADBE s in .53, out .31 - +0.22, thanks Vad, nice oue Lisa
[10:46] {Chaeron} one
[10:46] {Threei} is it right word? is there such thing as flush up?
[10:46] {Geo} only in australia
[10:46] {Threei} ah
[10:46] {Chaeron} heheh...
[10:46] {lisa_jay} ?
[10:47] {lisa_jay} Thanks Chaeron.
[10:47] {Threei} for those who still hold half: ideally would like to see ADBE remaining under .50,
[10:47] {dptl} +.15 adbe ty
[10:47] {Threei} then with market further drop it's likely to test closer to 25
[10:48] {Threei} unless we get extreme panic I don't expect ADBE to lose 25
[10:48] {Chaeron} can we please do that again? :)
[10:49] {Threei} was eyeing UAUA .80 break for long
[10:49] {Threei} look what it did
[10:49] {Threei} there was no way to buy it anywhere within 5 cents from .80
[10:49] {Chaeron} *sigh*
[10:49] {Threei} it just beamed itself up
[10:49] {Threei} ok, so far so good ADBE, .50 held
[10:50] {Threei} now want to see a new low and then sharp down to under .20
[10:50] {Threei} I think you can safely trail the stop to .51
[10:50] {Threei} if it goes over .50, not interested in what happens next
[10:51] {Chaeron} requiring violence again?
[10:52] {Threei} it's early morning still... gotta save some energy
[10:52] {dino} 8890 support dji imo
[10:52] {Threei} that 2x4 is heavy, you know
[10:53] {Threei} let's try gentele threats instead
06[10:54] * Threei sends ADBE a box with three dead fish
[10:55] {hawkfan4} AAPL small .38, stop under lod, swing
[10:55] {Threei} OK, this is either last attempt to resist the inevitable for NQ, or it's a double bottom
[10:55] {magoo} long rimm sm .98
[10:56] {Threei} in any case, ADBE stop is still above .50
[10:58] {Threei} for double bottom case,
[10:58] {Threei} Long Setup: QQQQ .08
[10:58] {Threei} stop under 31

[11:31] {magoo} can we get negative rates?
[11:31] {Threei} so the way to justify it is, we can today since we raised back then
[11:31] {Threei} we can cut today

[11:49] {Threei} OK, Qs
[11:50] {Threei} preparing breakout
[11:50] {Threei} .21 long
[11:50] {Threei} low of current pullback will show the stop level
[11:51] {magoo} and then q next level vad?...34?
[11:52] {Threei} depends...
[11:52] {Threei} can't tell for now
[11:52] {lisa_jay} Current low .06 Vad?
[11:52] {Threei} yes but I would like to see somewhat higher consolidation
[11:52] {Threei} so we could place tighter stop
[11:53] {Threei} JPM
[11:53] {Threei} RETAIL CHIEF: WE DO NOT SEE MUCH GOOD NEWS WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMERS - WEBCAST
[11:53] {Threei} sigh

[11:58] {lisa_jay} Why does it not teleport when I am in?
[11:58] {Onix} exactly!?
[11:58] {Threei} one time when I had a chance to post it as close to real time as this tactic allows
[11:59] {Threei} how do you enter lisa?
[11:59] {Threei} if you watched this one, have you seen this move under .30?
[11:59] {lisa_jay} .00 break....never tried your way.
[11:59] {Threei} absolutely out of nowhere
[11:59] {Threei} well, that's different approach altogether
[11:59] {lisa_jay} yes
[12:00] {Threei} this one is not so clear cut
[12:00] {Threei} since it goes with market
[12:02] {Threei} in
[12:02] {Threei} stop under .10
[12:02] {magoo} how many shares?
[12:02] {dawg} in

[12:07] {Threei} now... meHTodology? deCSribe?
[12:07] {Threei} can you say dyksleqsik?
[12:07] {lisa_jay} Vad, do you lay out the exit?
[12:07] {Threei} usually not,
[12:08] {Threei} keep exit price about 5-7 cents above entry and keep finger on sell button
[12:08] {ese} outta here.....just a watchin day for me....have a great rest of the day everyone.
[12:08] {Threei} take care ese

[12:10] {Threei} better get shaken out than caught into big drop
[12:11] {dawg} yes thank you
[12:12] {Threei} should jump over .20 now with any market help
[12:12] {Threei} come on NQ
[12:12] {dawg} looking for .29 to greedy?
[12:13] {Threei} don't know... it's a highly fluid situation
[12:13] {dawg} OK
[12:13] {Threei} gotta evaluate it on second by second basis
[12:14] {Threei} here comes help
[12:14] {dawg} out .23

[12:14] {dawg} Thanks Vad.
[12:14] {Threei} welcome sir
[12:15] {Threei} good case this time,
[12:15] {Threei} was slow enough to allow real time comments on thinking process
[12:15] {Threei} well, if you can call this thinking
[12:15] {dawg} Yes with your coaching that was the key
[12:16] {lisa_jay} Selling off market.
[12:16] {Threei} that Qs setup may be back
[12:16] {Threei} with one more little bounce
[12:16] {dawg} Keeping eye out
[12:16] {Threei} .87 short if stays below 31

[12:22] {Threei} or as some politicians would say, flush baby flush
[12:23] {Threei} too sharp...
[12:23] {Threei} hate it when they move so sharply yet don't reach 1:1
[12:24] {Threei} getting torn between waiting for normal r/r and taking profit on a sharp move
[12:25] {Threei} ok, better

[12:48] {dino} maybe w/obama markets never go up
[12:48] {amarg} The potential bounce you earlier mention in progress, was that in overall market, or a particual stock?
[12:48] {dino} so in 10 days at zero
[12:48] {Threei} market and those stocks that follow it
[12:48] {Threei} like ADBE
[12:49] {Threei} I like the thought dino
[12:50] {dino} thought youwould

[13:14] {Geo} i am moving to washington
[13:17] {Threei} not sure what happened with LVS
[13:17] {Threei} CNBC'S GASPARINO: GS MAY LIKELY DISCLOSE FIRST LOSS SINCE BECOMING PUBLIC COMPANY IN UPCOMING REPORT
[13:18] {amarg} uaua bounced up and down back in middle again, from graph looks long term buy?????
[13:18] {Threei} what time frame?
[13:19] {Threei} daily? intraday?
[13:20] {amarg} intraday in middle, daily seems like a buy, if it breaks around 16 you think?
[13:20] {Threei} I can't answer in general, too many variables
[13:20] {amarg} but it may be down now due to overwhelming weight of market
[13:20] {Threei} how does it go to 16, in a slow steady way or in a sarop spike?
[13:21] {Threei} what is pil doing at the moment?
[13:21] {Threei} what is general market doing at the moment?
[13:21] {amarg} I was looking at the graph, latest daily pull back is on declining volume
[13:22] {hawkfan4} WFMI interesting on 11 break maybe
[13:22] {Threei} problem with UAUA is, it's not your usual stock
[13:22] {Threei} it's a major airline subjected to so many external factors
[13:23] {Threei} you can't fully rely on charts alone
[13:23] {Threei} take a look at daily,
[13:23] {Threei} run from under 4 to 16
[13:23] {Threei} was there much in charts to indicate that?
[13:23] {Threei} then drop all the way back to 5
[13:24] {Threei} to 16 again
[13:24] {amarg} i see
[13:24] {Threei} wth going on with LVS
[13:25] {laserdave1} maga dcc
[13:25] {amarg} by the way, curious, at 11.42 when everthing was headed down, what indicator gave you a reading that market is ready to reverse?
[13:26] {Threei} 12:42 you mean
[13:26] {Threei} EST
[13:27] {Threei} NQ made little double bottom, started breaking the peak between two bottoms
[13:27] {Threei} really felt like market was going to get some relief
[13:28] {Threei} but nothing outstanding, selling never became climactic
[13:28] {Threei} so it was mostly: close short, don't go long, wait for new setups to shape up
[13:28] {amarg} 12.42est right, NQ is nasdaq I guess
[13:31] {Threei} right
[13:32] {_maga} laserdave1 did you say something to me? what "dcc" is?
[13:32] {Threei} private message maga
[13:32] {Threei} doubleclick on his nick, you will see it

[14:11] {Threei} chaeron, I read it was one suggestion
[14:11] {Threei} to be discussed
[14:11] {Threei} I find it hard to believe they would do that
[14:11] {Chaeron} of course... nothing firm... thinking of consequenses
[14:12] {Threei} just imagine all the seling that hits the markets
[14:12] {Chaeron} I know that
[14:12] {Threei} I mean, if we have people at the helm who really want to finish this thing off...
[14:12] {Chaeron} but knowing that, why would they even suggest? It shows knee-jerk reactions to problems already... no thought before suggesting
[14:13] {Threei} then, as outgoing prez said, "this sucker is going down"
[14:13] {Chaeron} you still want to get that tiki bar and run it in Bora Bora with e Vad?
[14:13] {Chaeron} me

[14:27] {Threei} I swear, of all govermental programs of all times and nations, none was screwed up so badly as this
[14:29] {dino} give them time they will compound the screwiness
[14:29] {Onix} it is more clear than ever before that they have no clue what they're doing
[14:30] {dino} if it wasn't an election year, they would've let capitalism work itself out
[14:30] {Onix} unless Paulson quickly wanted to help out all his buddies at GS etc. before the world comes to an end
[14:31] {dino} still amazed they all keep their jobs

[15:37] {Threei} but I'd place odds of sharp seloff at 9:1
[15:38] {amarg} is that 9 times likely that there may be a sell off??
