May 26 2009

The market slept through the most of the day but while it did something we were able to extract our few profitable trades with just one stop. Quite a consolidation near the top after initial morning spike...

Session Time: Tue May 26 00:00:00 2009

[08:12] {pita} hola

[08:13] {Threei}  Good morning

[08:15] {Threei}  Quite an interesting dichotomy... nuclear missile test, you would normally expect gold up, ESD down

[08:15] {Threei}  just opposite happens so far

[08:18] {Threei}  Baltic Dry Bulk Index +5.6%, 17th straight increase

[08:19] {Threei}  CYTK

[08:19] {Threei}  Cytokinetics Inc Receives $50M due to Amgen Exercise of Option for Exclusive License to cardiac contractility Program That Includes CK-1827452

[08:19] {Threei}  - Amgen has exercised its option to obtain an exclusive license, worldwide (excluding Japan), to Cytokinetics'' cardiac contractility program. The license includes CK-1827452, a novel cardiac myosin activator being developed for the treatment of heart failure

[08:19] {pita} Why DRYS not following that closer?  Makes no sense to me.

[08:19] {Threei}  yeah... something company specific is in play

[08:20] {Threei}  shares dilution for instance

[08:20] {pita} still having effect?

[08:20] {Threei}  who knows

[08:20] {pita} yeah

[08:21] {Threei}  although EGLE is not exactly soaring either

[08:21] {pita} got killed on DRYS last week

[08:21] {Threei}  tried to hold it?

[08:21] {pita} y

[08:22] {Threei}  price action vs information...

[08:22] {Threei}  trade what you see, not what you think

[08:22] {pita} I heard that somewhere...

[08:24] {pita} lessons are painful

[08:26] {pita} where is INTC going?

[08:27] {Threei}  so far stays in place...

[08:27] {Threei}  slightly down

[08:28] {Threei}  loss of 15 is looking rather good for short

[08:28] {pita} agreed

[08:57] {cosmo} hmmm ...pharacuticals maybe

[08:58] {cosmo} biotech then

[08:59] {Threei}  MAP Pharmaceuticals Phase III trial of LEVADEX migraine product candidate meets all four primary endpoints; shows statistical significance

[08:59] {Threei}  - Total of 792 patients were included in the primary data analysis as specified in the protocol of the FREEDOM-301 study, which was conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the U.S. FDA. The patient population studied had more severe migraine pain than expected, with 46% reporting severe pain and 54% reporting moderate pain prior to administration of the study drug.

[09:28] {nemo} magus

[09:28] {magoo} news FSLR vad?

[09:28] {magoo} down 9

[09:29] {Threei}  First Solar Inc. Shares cut to Underperform from Market Perform at FBR, PT $110.00

[09:29] {Threei}  Action on the back of:

[09:29] {Threei}  - Polysilicon prices taking a nose dive. Checks over the past week suggest (quality) spot poly prices have declined to $65/kg, down 35% year to date

[09:29] {Threei}  - Recent checks indicate at least one of FSLR top customers has already switched from FSLR to a si-based module vendor for a project that is currently under construction.

[09:29] {Threei}  Checks also suggest six inch solar wafer prices (in the spot market) have declined to US$3.50/piece, implying that finished solar wafers are now { US$1/watt. Assuming US$0.80/watt for turning wafers into modules, we estimate $65/kg poly to yield modules at a cost of US$1.60-US$1.80/watt. And even a rather aggressive GM of 20% implies si-based manufacturers could sell modules at US$2.10 (or EUR1.62, assuming 1.3 F/X) and compete head-to-head with FSLR

[11:48] {Threei}  and tar and feathers ensue

[11:48] {nemo} or anti-communist

[11:49] {nemo} Comrades, you are sick...to the re-education camps

[11:49] {dino} somebody has to stand up for the law

[11:50] {ese} what law dino

[11:50] {nemo} question mark ese

[11:51] {ese} ?

[11:51] {Threei}  nemo is english teacher in past life

[11:51] {nemo} no..just obnoxious in this one

[11:51] {ese} man i'm like eh muscian eh....

[11:52] {Threei}  nemo... I have bad news for you

[11:52] {nemo} like an egyptian

[11:52] {nemo} fine

[11:52] {ese} would seem to mean the bond holders are in no positon to bargain......no?

[11:52] {Threei}  I realize you enjoyt being obnoxious... but you can't, not in the room

06[11:52] * nemo crawls into cave

06[11:52] * nemo closes door

[11:52] {Threei}  it's strictly my privilege to be obnoxious here

[11:52] {dino} they are primary secured, there is a law here

06[11:52] * nemo pulls blanket over head

[11:53] {ese} true

[11:53] {Threei}  I sometimes can tolerate competition for the title of captain obvious

06[11:53] * nemo covers ears

[11:53] {Threei}  but obnoxious? no way

[11:53] {ese} wouldn't the question be...secured against what?......taxpayer money now isn't it?

[11:54] {ese} basically your money dino....don't know the situation well...am i wrong?

[11:54] {nemo} yes ese...but they must be pissed considering all the bondholders in the "too big to fail banks" have been protected

[11:54] {ese} hmmmmmk

[11:55] {dino} ity will end up in supreme court, they are secured, they should get parts of company, they are in front of govt and unions by law, years from now in court because govt will screw them

[11:55] {dino} obama reminds me of chavez, taking what he wants for govt

[11:56] {ese} ah ok.....didn't know that.....they have priority over gov't

[11:56] {dino} basic contract law here

[11:56] {Threei}  but dino... he read Chavez's book

[11:56] {nemo} it's not government ese

[11:56] {nemo} yeah, as Dino says

[11:56] {nemo} bondholders are first in line for corporate assets

[11:57] {dino} common, then preferred, then bondholders, they are the roots of the tree

[11:57] {dino} common and preferred no securitization

[11:59] {dino} but enough. obama will do what he wants courts will fine the govt 5 years from now, after the bondholders get screwed and possile wiped out. remember, many muni's invested in these gm bonds, as well as pension funds

[12:00] {ese} ya...i understand the tree roots for sure....i just thought that some special circmstances had applied here

[12:00] {dino} ceph lod

[12:01] {dino} no, it is the law of usa for hundreds of years

[12:02] {dino} think of a house mortgage, secured by house. govt can't just give your house to someone w/o paying off the bank

[12:02] {nemo} government wants to give GM to UAW without paying the bondholders

[12:02] {dino} wynn app. lod

[12:03] {dino} right nemo, thats the problem, the bondholders own certain parts 

[12:03] {nemo} but the unions elected Obama

[12:03] {dino} talk about buying votes for an election, i will give the auto industry to you unions if you vote me in, lol

[12:12] {nemo} knew it...Magoo it and IMAX pops

[13:24] {Threei}  I thopught "increase tax" is new prosperity mantra

[13:24] {ese} just lookin at it it's .04 and a bit not 5

[13:24] {nemo} politician prosperity mantra

[13:24] {Threei}  applicable at all levels, to all goods and services

[13:29] {nemo} Captain Obvious

06[13:29] * nemo gives vad a tissue

[13:29] {Threei}  it's a pure personal tolerance matter ese... I felt FAZ had some momentum, enough to overcome .50

[13:29] {Threei}  so I offered .51

[13:30] {Threei}  and I hated my performance over last three days so much that I flet I could press just a tad more on a first day when I finally start getting it right

[13:31] {Threei}  I am not pressing in a sense of trying to be overly active yet,

[13:31] {ese} was it prints you were looking at

[13:31] {ese} gave you that feeling

[13:31] {Threei}  but when a trade started moving, at least holding for 1:1 made sense to me :)

[13:31] {Threei}  whole anchilada... look at 1 min

[13:31] {ese} yes i should have done that for sure

[13:31] {Threei}  ascending channel established from 12:00

[13:32] {Threei}  higher lows,

[13:32] {Threei}  break of it is entry signal,

[13:32] {ese} hmmm  yes....now that i'm looking at it

[13:32] {Threei}  volume started increasing toward this break

[13:33] {Threei}  thick stocks rarely trade straight up or down, it's always uptick/downtick,

[13:33] {Threei}  this one after the break started making 3 upticks/one downtick dance

[13:33] {Threei}  so... kind of working

[13:33] {Threei}  I let it work

[13:33] {ese} ya ...i'm not use to that yet.....got an uneasy feeling....

[13:34] {ese} call it lack of experience

[13:35] {ese} faz is thick for sure 222,000,000 shs to this point

[13:41] {ese} if fitb gets into that 5 to 6 range.....i'll be thinkin about playing it steady again

[13:42] {Threei}  nice retreat there

[13:42] {Threei}  HBAN too

[13:44] {ese} ya ...when it went haywire gapping up like it did.....i lost touch.....really couldn't tell what it was going to do next

[13:45] {ese} looks like it is coming back down to sanity

[13:56] {ese} outta here until tomorrw.....it's the job thing....would rather be hangin with you all ...take care
