[11:45] {Threei} European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. WTO reportedly come to conclusion on case over EU aid to Airbus on Sept 4; results will not be immediately available to public - unconfirmed report
[11:45] {Threei} - US was complaining about the aid Airbus receives from countries in Europe

[12:37] {Threei} yeah, loss of smell
[12:39] {Threei} HGSI

[12:40] {Threei} MTXX has it
[12:40] {Threei} watch it to get a feel for these patterns
[12:41] {magoo} going vertical
[12:41] {Threei} how deep pillbacks are, how it acts after breaks
[12:41] {Threei} buold your idea of the way to play momos
[12:41] {Threei} as I said before, we will have more of these
[12:41] {Threei} so use these early birds to study
[12:42] {Threei} the idea here is, in most cases I won't be able to call exact entries on thewm
[12:42] {Threei} it's rare case when they form such perfect setups as HGSI just did
[12:43] {Threei} so, as soon as we identify a stock as momo play, you need to be able to observe it jst briefly in order to come up with the way to play it,
[12:43] {Threei} and it requires watching them for a while to get a feel for them.
[12:43] {Threei} Then we all will be like many little magoos
[12:44] {Threei} (dino is frightened by this perspective but what can we do...)
[12:45] {Threei} rofl... see the post by Laser admin?

[13:48] {Threei} Opinion (and we know what they say about those):
[13:48] {Threei} As a percentage of GDP current national debt is at about the same level as it was during the Eisenhower administration. This is not good but the U.S. has managed much higher debt levels in the past (120% of GDP during WWII) and other countries have rebounded from much worse debt situations in recent history.

[09:04] {magoo} morn
[09:04] {cosmo} what gets pushed down, must float back up?
06[09:04] * nemo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[09:05] {Threei} aside of hitting my toe, iron didn't do any good after falling down,
[09:05] {Threei} certainly no slightest attempt to float up
[09:05] {Threei} magoo :)
[09:05] {magoo} so vad..what was verdic on getco rte?
[09:05] {cosmo} use an empty, sealed vessel....
[09:06] {Threei} great if there are shares at the price you want,
[09:06] {Threei} instant fill or kill, speed is next to lightening,
[09:06] {Threei} saves a bunch on pass-through,
[09:07] {nemo} no secondary routing though
[09:07] {Threei} since you'd have to try another route if there are no shares on GETCO, and at the time being there is no routing out on it,
[09:07] {Threei} best way to use it is:
[09:07] {Threei} set hot key for it and for the second route,
[09:08] {Threei} so you can hot both of them in a quick succession if GETCO doesn't get you shares,
[09:08] {Threei} probably forget it if there is a very fast stock you want
[09:09] {Threei} not because it's slow but because you'll lose some time on an attempt
[09:10] {Threei} We will be able to use it to its full advantage when Bear delivers smart route that goes to GETCO first,
[09:10] {Threei} then switches to other routes
[09:12] {magoo} ok
[09:12] {Threei} in case you want to try, I set keys:
[09:12] {Threei} Shift+G to buy on GETCO,
[09:13] {Threei} Shift + B market buy smart route,
[09:13] {Threei} Ctrl+G to sell on GETCO,
[09:13] {Threei} Ctrl+S market sell smart
[09:14] {magoo} what u watching?
[09:14] {magoo} rtk may be a play
[09:14] {Threei} can add anything you want to bid, offer, use other routes etc, as long as you can remember them, but the general idea is:
[09:14] {magoo} CRM too
[09:14] {Threei} all buys start with shift, all sells start with Ctrl
[09:17] {Threei} Fed's Bullard: Antendees of the Jackson Hole symposium are "cautiously optimistic" - TV interiew
[09:17] {Threei} - States that the economy is on track to see positive growth in 3rd and 4th quarters
[09:17] {Threei} - Households continue to be very cautious on spending
[09:18] {Threei} I don't see news RTK

[09:49] {_phreeboy} s & p at top of consolidation range between 7/31-8/14, do you take that into account?
[09:49] {nemo} ex, or im
[09:50] {Threei} I can't take that into account until it does something: breaks that level or gets rejected
[09:51] {Threei} simply being there is not much indicative by itself
[09:51] {Threei} it's what it does aroiund the resistance that matters
[09:53] {fernp} HIG pullback, Vad?
[09:54] {Threei} market is still selling
[09:54] {fernp} ty
[09:54] {nemo} bac holding .33 support

[09:57] {wulff} LVS in .10
[09:57] {Threei} HIG should dive closer to .50 now,
[09:57] {nemo} frickin bac
[09:58] {Threei} see if market puts double bottom is, and try to get HIG as close to .50 as possible

[10:09] {magoo} yea
[10:09] {Threei} this sudden spike out of slow selling is not something playable

[10:17] {Threei} WFC 1:1 for scalpers
[10:18] {bluejet} I pared BAC but missed WFC. Is it possible to play a sound when there is an alert?

[10:20] {Threei} I sdon't think it's doable on it, gotta use mirc
[10:20] {bluejet} OK. I will take a look. Do I still use the same login on mirc?
[10:21] {nemo} mirc is stand alone software you have to set up
[10:21] {Threei} sure, login info is server-based... server doesn't care how you connect
[10:21] {Threei} it sees you, it kicks you out
[10:22] {Threei} well... unless you know magic words, lol

[14:43] {Threei} yes
[14:45] {fernp} BAC bounce?
[14:45] {Threei} I doubt it
[14:45] {Threei} gotta give them more room to fall before bounces become likely
[14:46] {Threei} this is that interim stage, you know...
[14:46] {Threei} when each leg down seems to be good enough for bounce
[14:46] {fernp} yes only five cents drop
[14:46] {Threei} but in reality leads to endless stops
[14:46] {Threei} jump in too early a few times,

Aug 19 2009

Nice even though boring (what else is new) day. HURN, CAT, RTK, AIG scalps and nice long trade on AXL. With all the traditional August inactivity, we are fairly consistent - in both profits and boredom for hours while market is locked in a tight range.

[09:05] {Threei} - Comments: senior management did not properly take into account the impact of the selling shareholders redistribution of the acquisition-related payments when determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In some cases, senior management was unaware of the redistributions. In other cases, senior management was aware of the redistributions but either misunderstood or misapplied the appropriate accounting guidance. As a result, the facts and circumstances surrounding the Shareholder Payments and Employee Payments were not fully described in representation letters previously provided to our independent auditors.
