Jun 03 2009

Not too many trades as quite a few setups never triggered. Those that did though worked nicely: WFC and, notably, TIVO long for 60 cents. Don't you love those short squeezes after huge gap up - when you get it right and participate in it.

Session Time: Wed Jun 03 00:00:00 2009

[08:06] {pita} gm all
[08:06] {nemo} P.I.T.A. :)
[08:07] {pita} that's me!!!
[08:07] {nemo} neat acronym
[08:07] {nemo} probably more applicable to me
[08:07] {pita} just ask my former wife....
[08:07] {nemo} Where's her grave? :)
[08:08] {pita} :(
[08:08] {nemo} awwwww....poor sense of humor...apologies
[08:08] {pita} the paying is over but the pain remains
[08:09] {nemo} yeah, we'd still be in the Garden of Eden if it weren't for them
[08:09] {pita} well, probably not, but its a great thought
[08:09] {pita} 392108
[08:10] {pita} sorry wrong windog
[08:10] {pita} window
[08:11] {pita} off for breakfast, cu later
[08:11] {magoo} morning
[08:11] {nemo} magister
[08:11] {magoo} TIVO nuts
[08:11] {nemo} yeah, had that written down for today
[08:12] {nemo} should be a nice short soon
[08:12] {magoo} i just hit it sh .31
[08:12] {nemo} nice mags
[08:12] {magoo} not  yet :)
[08:13] {magoo} ok, cov .15

[08:13] {nemo} how's that?
[08:13] {magoo} not nice till bank it

[08:13] {nemo} how's that
[08:13] {nemo} oh spy and qs dropping
[08:14] {nemo} look who's signed in
[08:14] {magoo} u do the honors
06[08:14] * nemo slaps laserdave around a bit with a large trout
[08:14] {nemo} I grew up trout fishing, kinda' mixed emotions about it
[08:15] {magoo} adp numbers in line
[08:15] {nemo} saw that this morning...curious about oil today...if it spikes, I think market tanks.  
[08:16] {magoo} actually, coorelation the way i see it is oil up..mkts up
[08:17] {nemo} I think you'll see that break soon in U.S. markets.  We're consumption based. As oil goes up money comes out of pockets.  Can't buy stuff.  Might keep Chinese Indian and Brazilian markets going, Aussies too, but less likely here
[08:36] {Threei}  Summary of PIMCO's Bill Gross June Investment Outlook: "Staying rich in the new normal"
[08:36] {Threei}  - U.S is no longer producing as much wealth in proportion to the rest of the world, which will affect stockholders 401k investors and even bond managers
[08:36] {Threei}  - A potential US sovereign downgrade "still far off in the future in PIMCOs opinion" as "both the U.S. and the U.K. entered the Great Recession with attractive ratios compared to such grievous offenders (and AA rated) as Japan."
[08:36] {Threei}  - The pressure of rising long dated treasury yields on mortgage and corporate rates presents a real threat to recovery now underway
[08:36] {Threei}  - Expansion of Fed's balance sheet could have inflationary impact
[08:36] {Threei}  - "Bond investors should therefore confine maturities to the front end of yield curves where continuing low yields and downside price protection is more probable. Holders of dollars should diversify their own baskets before central banks and sovereign wealth funds ultimately do the same. All investors should expect considerably lower rates of return than what they grew accustomed to only a few years ago. "
[08:41] {magoo} got a read on TIVO vad?

[09:40] {Threei}  trying to form short setup again
[09:40] {Threei}  let's approach it differently
[09:40] {Threei}  9.55 loss is a short trigger,
[09:41] {Threei}  let's watch it for consolidation closer to it that would give us affordable stop
[09:42] {Threei}  if doesn't go over .70 on this bounce, that's resistance
[09:42] {nemo} last bounce looks like it was with Qs

[11:30] {Threei}  (US) Fed Chairman Bernanke: Fed does not plan to sell MBS holdings in the near term, substantial flow of revenue from MBS purchases will offset any losses down the road
[11:31] {nemo} wow, how's he gonna' do that from foreclosed mortgages?
[11:32] {dino} see, they are not using mark to market because fed is not public, so, shazaam mogages are good long term
[11:33] {nemo} what did they buy them at?  Or do we even know?
[11:34] {dino} vlo stopped -.30
[11:34] {dino} it doesn't matter, they are not public
[11:34] {dino} typically 30 year you pay 2.5x sales over the 30 years
[11:35] {nemo} not that, how much did the Fed by them for?
[11:35] {dino} low nemo, so even at 50% default they win over time
[11:35] {nemo} maybe....
[11:36] {dino} they really do not need this public/privated fund stuff if they hold until maturity
[11:36] {dino} even in defaults the houses are worth 50 cents on they buck on average
[11:37] {dino} the whole problem was mark to market
[11:37] {nemo} the problem is, with those sliced and diced MBS, does anybody know what's in them?
[11:37] {dino} if you don't own them who cares
[11:38] {nemo} we do own them
[11:38] {nemo} BOHICA
[11:38] {dino} ahhh, but at less thasn 50 cents on the dollar. some were taken at 25 cents
[11:38] {dino} the losses have been takn by public companies, the govt is a buyer on the cheap.
[11:39] {Threei}  (US) Fed Chairman Bernanke: Fed will be able to raise interest rates even with a large balance sheet
[11:39] {dino} they will sell them out eventually, wjhy do you think hedge funds want them now as opposed to last fall
[11:39] {nemo} The government doing something in my best interest is anethema to me
[11:39] {Threei}  TIVO new high
[11:40] {Threei}  If worst came to worst, the Fed could sell some assets from the balance sheet
[11:41] {dino} they were not, they put the screws to the companies w/m2m. they know the error of this but will never admit it, because thepublic would have their heads
[11:41] {dino} out apsg cover at .55, +.30

[12:56] {vinod} Tax is not bad. Think about what people lost in market compare to what they paid in tax?
[12:57] {Threei}  not sure I see the connection... is it one or another? :)
[12:58] {dino} ???
[12:58] {Threei}  I mean, if paying higher tax would prevent market losses, then comparison would make sense
[12:59] {vinod} I believe everyone has to pay their share of tax
[12:59] {dino} higher taxes will hurt markets
[12:59] {Threei}  sure
[12:59] {ese} all right....same as pita....outta here to the days job...catch you all on the flip side
[12:59] {Threei}  but who said that share must be increased?
[12:59] {Threei}  take care ese
[12:59] {dino} cya es
[12:59] {ese} see ya vad
[13:00] {ese} dino...later
[13:01] {vinod} more tax we pay less need to borrow from china
[13:02] {Threei}  and less money we have to spend... and more money for goverment to misspend
[13:02] {Threei}  if you believe in goverment's ability to spend wisely... we just will have to agree to disagree :)
[13:03] {Threei}  and if you don't, why would you want to enable it to waste more than it already did?
[13:04] {vinod} no one expect or believe that gov.will spend wisely. we should accept that
[13:04] {Threei}  the wouldn't it be wiser to leave it with at little as possible to spend foolishly? :)
[13:05] {dino}  regan proved lower tax rates = higher receipts, problem was spending
[13:05] {Threei}  right
[13:05] {Threei}  and that is hard thing to reign
[13:06] {Threei}  tax increase gives governemtn even more room for wasteful spending AND cuts down receipts
[13:06] {dino} because politicians are whores for votes
[13:06] {Threei}  I fail to see the benefit
[13:06] {dino} vad we agree
[13:06] {Threei}  after all, USSR had the highest tax rate in history
[13:06] {vinod} did i opened up a can of worm?
[13:06] {dino} plus lower taxes are incentive to work more. higher taxes, whats the point
[13:06] {Threei}  I don't see it being mightiest state on a planet
[13:07] {dino} obamas' talking 75% rates on over $250k. that wil, kill real estate
[13:07] {vinod} i take back what i said
[13:08] {Threei}  why so timid vinod...
[13:08] {Threei}  people have right for their opinion
[13:08] {dino} vin, they don't worry about borrowing from china, because the dollar will be devalued thus cutting the borrowing that way
[13:08] {Threei}  time to decide on TIVO I guess
[13:08] {jfjf64} tivo
[13:09] {Threei}  will try to exit above .50

[10:37] {Raven} I'm sorry Larisa
[10:37] {nemo} Anybody who likes Poe has to be sane :)?
[10:37] {Raven} Neverenough
[10:38] {nemo} Ever read Goethe's the elfking Raven?
[10:38] {Threei}  GM Reportedly offering Dealerships approx $100K-$1M to shut down; Dealers must make decision by mid June

[10:46] {Threei}  SQNM held by fingertips
[10:47] {nemo} I thought support was @ .53?
[10:48] {Threei}  wierd place for a support
[10:49] {nemo} goes back to 9:49
[10:49] {Threei}  this is the way to place stops only if you go for scalp type 1
[10:50] {nemo} touched again 10:04 and 10:05, 10:06 and then dropped
[10:50] {Threei}  my point is:
[10:50] {Threei}  I would never place stop at such price as .53 or .52 unless I go for scalp type I
[10:51] {Threei}  under .50, sure
[10:51] {Threei}  under .53? shrug
[10:51] {nemo} I had it @ .51
[10:51] {Threei}  even wierder
[10:51] {nemo} 2 cents under support?
[10:51] {Threei}  1 cent above natural round number support?
[10:53] {nemo} I've been experiencing slippage under "natural" support often lately, so by the time I've gotten out has been a bit expensive
[10:54] {nemo} Would the next logical support below have ben around 3.44?
[10:54] {nemo} ben=ben
[10:54] {Threei}  yes
[10:54] {Threei}  1:1 SQNM

Jun 01 2009

Two shots, two kills. Nice wins on FEED and FMCN. Then whole day of sloooow action, until CTIC got halted, got nice news and provided some scalp opportunities after coming out of halt.

Session Time: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 2009

[08:33] {vinod} i think worse is behind for us in usa
[08:34] {nemo} Arguably...$ weakens, everything including oil becomes more expensive.  China and India expand their internal markets continuing to drive up the price of oil

[09:10] {Threei}  chinggis :)
[09:10] {ese} cha ching
[09:12] {ese} how much do you think GM is going to weigh on the market vad
[09:12] {Threei}  FDA rejected their drug
[09:12] {nemo} zilch
[09:12] {ese} ahhh
[09:12] {Threei}  doesn't seem to be weighing at all
[09:13] {Threei}  market accepted and priced in GM already

[09:17] {Threei}  which are being used to convince you to stay fully invested, add to your portfolio,, diversify it,
[09:17] {Threei}  improve your cost basis etc
[09:17] {ese} yup
[09:17] {Threei}  imagine how those charts would look if they
[09:17] {Threei}  1. were djusted for inflation
[09:18] {Threei}  2. would reflect index without costant rebalancing by weeeding out some companies and adding other
[09:18] {nemo} yeah, the $ is inversely correlated to the DOW.  Basically, you've made nothing for 80 years since the Fed was instituted
[09:18] {dptl} good morning all
