May 05 2010

One of "why did I bother to wake up" days. Started with nice juicy win on WFC, continued with 3 stops in row, and on top of that my Internet started acting flaky - 2 or 3 disconnections, then total loss of the link to outer world. Room found a few good plays while I was cut off.

[11:18] {nemo} ?

[11:18] {Threei} BP

[11:18] {strider} OK. You're restricted to question marks today.

[11:18] {Threei} that was totallyt unreadable

[11:19] {nemo} ecxept that it bounced off that level twice before

[11:19] {Threei} by that l.ogic, it should have dropped off 51.20

[11:19] {nemo} ?

[11:19] {larisa} pivot and camarilla 50.83 support

[11:20] {nemo} .20 could have been a partial

[11:20] {Threei} it dropped twice of that level before?

[11:20] {nemo} oh yeah, right on the pivot

[11:20] {Threei} if you consider such criteria a readable entry, you should be consistent

[11:21] {Threei} The Goldman Sachs Group Inc Fitch revises outlook to Negative from Stable; affirms A+ ratings

[11:21] {Threei} - The Rating Outlook revision to Negative incorporates recent legal developments and ongoing regulatory challenges that could adversely impact Goldman's reputation and revenue generating capacity. Goldman's franchise and market position are potentially vulnerable to scrutiny by stakeholders, and like peers, may be affected by the industry's regulatory evolution.

[11:56] {Threei} haven't heard any complaints yesterday

[11:56] {nemo} I'm not complaining

[11:56] {Threei} strength of the bounce is a bit surprising, that's all

[11:56] {dino} nor i, been saying 3 days in one for a month

[11:57] {Les} no, it's my thinking that gets me into trouble

[11:57] {jfjf64} what happen yest

[11:57] {dino} open was day one, bounce day two, dday three coming

[11:57] {Les} ESI rocketing upwards should have been signal to ignore shortingt

[11:57] {Les} at the open

[11:57] {dino} yesrday -3%

[11:57] {Threei} yesterday was one of those "can do no wrong" days

[11:58] {Threei} total Midas touich

[11:58] {Threei} any trade we tried worked before we blinked

[11:58] {Les} was a good day

[11:58] {Threei} so we have up on blinking

[11:58] {Threei} gave

[11:58] {jfjf64} yest was yest today is today

[11:59] {jfjf64} lol

[11:59] {Threei} wow

[11:59] {dino} sro odd, beats and raises

[11:59] {Threei} that's real wisdom... sorry, I need to ponder that

[11:59] {dino} siro

[12:00] {jfjf64} jf has lots of wisdom

[12:00] {Threei} I get this feeling :)

[12:00] {nemo} ?

[12:00] {Threei} and nemo has a lot of questions

[12:01] {nemo} what feeling

[12:01] {nemo} ?

[12:01] {Threei} that jf has a lot of wisdom

[12:01] {dino} hey les, ctsh .65 prints

[12:01] {Threei} (GR) German Parliament budget committee reportedly backs 22.4B three-year aid package for Greece

[12:02] {Threei} will we now get riots in Germany too?

[12:02] {dino} nah, just invasion of greece when they default

[12:03] {dino} no sense of humor

[12:04] {nemo} volume very strong today

[12:04] {nemo} looks like the dip got bought

[12:04] {Les} I've blown it today dino. Why I sold CTSH just above 50 I do not know

[12:04] {dino} you made $, gj\

[12:04] {Les} nope

[12:05] {dino} ohh, 50.00 you mean

[12:05] {dino} .65 stop

[12:05] {jfjf64} lvs vad

[12:05] {dino} out +.50 ctsh

[12:05] {Les} a start with you 1st thing would have made a difference, but IB wasn't cooperating

[12:05] {Threei} I am looking at it jf... I just can't understand what it is I am looking at

[12:06] {dino} lucky start today, been struggling in a.m. lately

[12:06] {Les} was definitely buy the dip the morn

[12:06] {Threei} we are in opposite phases dino

[12:06] {shorty} double top WFC Threei?

[12:06] {dino} ctrp to .99

[12:06] {dino} usually 3i

[12:06] {jfjf64} reall wisdomm must ponder that also

[12:06] {Threei} looks like shorty

[12:07] {Threei} just hate to try again and again what doesn't work

[12:07] {Threei} and shorting sure didn't

[12:07] {nemo} see that support at 10:45 at 33

[12:07] {jfjf64} ditto

[12:07] {shorty} ok

[12:07] {Threei} look at today's trades

[12:07] {jfjf64} my biggest prob

[12:07] {Threei} bounce worked perfectly,

[12:08] {nemo} yeah, shorts got killedd

[12:08] {dino} gild to flat

[12:08] {Threei} bagged 30 cents profit, even with very early exit

[12:08] {Threei} two quite reasonably looking shorts into bounce to resistance failed

[12:09] {shorty} Got it, what worked yesterday might not work today. Adjust accordingly.

[12:09] {Threei} so far that's exactly the case

[12:09] {Threei} all bounces were sold hard yesterday

[12:10] {Threei} nothing of sorts today

[12:10] {larisa} and once you are fully adjusted, it changes again, shorty :)

[12:10] {Threei} lol

[12:10] {Threei} there is truth to it though:

[12:11] {shorty} lol

[12:11] {Threei} when certain patterns work for a while, we have consistency

[12:11] {Threei} when they change, we may have a few tough days,

[12:11] {Threei} or sometimes, being tuned in well, we get the change right,

[12:11] {Threei} as happened yesterday

[12:11] {Threei} but the greatest challenge is:

[12:11] {Threei} change from day to day

[12:12] {dino} outr ctrp +.24

[12:12] {Threei} you simply have not much signposts and/or time to re-adjust

[12:12] {Threei} fortunately it's not something that happens often or continues for long

[12:12] {Les} esi

[12:14] {dino} thats why nothing matters

[12:15] {Threei} yup... read every day to the best of your abilities, control risk, back off when not in tune, push when hot, forget about yesterday and start anew

[12:17] {Threei} this headline is somewhat ironic:

[12:17] {Threei} (EU) Goldman Sachs analysts sees fresh ECB quantitative easing as a necessity to cope with the Euro Zone peripheral debt crisis

[12:17] {Threei} - Expects Greece to restructure debt as soon as 2011.

[12:17] {Threei} - After May 19th Greece's next debt repayment is due in July, then country is in the clear until March 2011

[12:18] {Threei} I mean GS and Greece... can you say two disasters met

[12:18] {Threei} throw in BP, and it's picture perfect

[12:18] {dino} clear until march 2011? they will party like its' 1999

[12:18] {Threei} lol

[12:20] {Threei} (US) US Senator Dodd (D-CT); Expecting for Senate to vote on 'too big to fail' legislation in the early afternoon (related XLF IXG )

[12:20] {Les} that tobin tax still in the works?

[12:20] {nemo} not this year

[12:21] {Threei} Foreign investors believe that Greece will easily roll over debt on May 19th, now focusing on Spanish repayment due on May 20th and 21st.

[11:18] {larisa} look closer to you : wife, kids.. cat :)

[11:18] {Threei} - Fears of European debt contagion is the central issue this morning, with rumors and speculation heightening anxiety and prompting denials from European leaders. There was chatter that Spain was already asking for an aid package nearly twice as large as Greece's going around, ramping the risk aversion, smacking EUR/USD down to one-year lows just above 1.300 and sending the Portuguese and Spanish equity markets down 4-5% apiece.

[11:18] {Threei} thank you larisa, you are kind soul

[11:33] {Threei} but let's make it all discretionary,

[11:33] {Threei} easy money is made

[11:33] {Threei} so, what I suggest is:

[11:33] {Threei} if you like any play out of those I'll outline,

[11:33] {Threei} do them on decreased shares

[11:34] {Threei} and decide on the minimal amount you go home with

[12:35] {Threei} those days are usually losers for me

[12:39] {dino} intc l .49

[12:39] {dino} itt l .90

[12:41] {dino} rtp l .85

[12:41] {magoo} someone anticipating a bounce

[12:41] {Threei} who could that be

[12:42] {shorty} My cheq for Threei

[12:42] {dino} close -89 dji

[12:42] {Threei} IMF confirms no truth to rumors that Spain requested a bailout

[12:42] {dino} sounds familiar

[12:42] {Threei} very

[12:42] {larisa} I am still waiting on BP explanation threei :)

[12:43] {Threei} "we don't need to raise any more capital" comes to mind

[12:43] {dino} bp: imf confirms no request from bp too

[12:43] {Threei} which one larisa.. honest or constructed in hindsight? :)

[12:43] {Threei} ok, both

[12:43] {Threei} honest: strong gut feel

[12:43] {Threei} hindsight:

[12:44] {Threei} .50 was obviously important level around which BP danced a lot today from both sides,

[12:44] {Threei} it had to serve eaither as resistance to reject the bounce and lead to short

[12:44] {Threei} or resistance to be broken and lead to long,

[12:45] {larisa} it had perfect bullish divergence at .40. was surprised you saw that though :)

[12:45] {Threei} with this protracted market selling and pause, surprise was ready to present itself,

[12:45] {Threei} and with BP being in green (on of few sianlds of green in the sea of red),

[12:45] {Threei} I'd assume surprise was likely to be on a long side

[12:46] {Threei} sheesh... why would my clayroviance surprise you... :(

[12:46] {Threei} :((

[12:46] {Threei} give me a gun someone, life is not worth it anymore

[12:47] {Les} waiting till end of session please

[12:47] {larisa} you are too emotional today. it was not your kind of play, thats why

[12:47] {Threei} me? emotional?

[12:47] {Threei} lol

[12:47] {larisa} but gut feel explains it :)

[12:48] {dino} as i always say, trust the gut

[12:49] {Threei} but fill it with beer first

[12:49] {larisa} some people just do not have it :)

[12:49] {Threei} dino, she just called us fatties

[12:52] {dino} been called worse

[12:52] {larisa} lol

[12:53] {Threei} well, but she also called me emotional on top of that

[12:53] {dino} that i have never been called, unemotional, sure

[12:54] {Threei} caught me off guard too... all I heard before was rather "don't you feel anything at all??"

[12:54] {dino} roflol

[12:54] {dino} or "what are you thinking"

[12:55] {Threei} yeah, that's a puzzling one considering that I disclose total absence of thinking in advance

[12:55] {Threei} abhorrence even

[13:02] {Threei} ITMN Halted: News pending

[13:02] {Threei} - Note: ITMN is expected to have an announcement from the FDA on Pirfenidone for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

[13:02] {Threei} - Reminder: on 03/09 FDA Panel recommends approval for Pirfenidone for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 9-3 vote. Panel votes 9-3 that Pirfenidone can be considered safe. Panel votes 7-5 that data is sufficient showing Pirfenidone is effective.

[13:03] {Les} dino, what do you make of FIRE? breakout material?

[14:13] {Les} AMZN still on the floor here. might by picking itself up now

[14:15] {strider} Does this strike you all as funny?

[14:16] {strider} : For investors, eBay's a better bet than Amazon.com, WSJ says

[14:16] {strider} Investors weighing Amazon.com (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY) may be better off with eBay, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street." While shoppers may prefer Amazon's bargains, investors are attracted to the growing success of eBay's PayPal system

[14:16] {Threei} huh?

[14:16] {strider} IOW, consumers like AMZN.

[14:16] {strider} But investors should buy something else?

[14:16] {Threei} apples to oranges

[14:17] {Threei} different set of customers, different purposes, dfifferent business model

[14:17] {Les} my Murdoch has invested in ebay?

[14:17] {Threei} overlapping in some areas, sure

[14:18] {Threei} but INTC and GILD customers overlap too, both groups use tilet paper

[14:18] {RonS} 3i, bp on a 51.30 break w/ mkt help?

[14:18] {strider} God, you mean I might have something in common with nemo?

[14:18] {Threei} so rry strider

[14:19] {Threei} such is reality

[14:19] {RonS} ...corn cobs...

[14:19] {Threei} Ron, it's too far from there to say anything definite

[14:19] {nemo} 51.30?

[14:19] {Threei} see, the major consideration is:

[14:19] {dino} itt stopped -.35

[14:19] {Threei} HOW it gets there

[14:19] {RonS} bp's yesterday's hod...

[14:19] {Threei} while that resistance is meaningful by itself,

[14:19] {Threei} consider two cases:

[14:19] {shorty} Pullback entry for VVUS Threei?

[14:20] {Threei} A: BP spikes sharply from current price into .30

[14:20] {Threei} B BP crawls up slowly, consolidates under .30, then breaks

[14:20] {Threei} which case is a valid breakout and which is trap?

[14:20] {RonS} b

[14:20] {RonS} a

[14:21] {Threei} there you go

[14:21] {RonS} ...guess i am learning something...

[14:21] {Threei} shorty, as an idea yes, as this particular level - no

[14:22] {shorty} What would you look for?

[14:22] {Threei} not sure yet

[14:24] {RonS} ...man, someone is defending euro 1.310...

[14:25] {RonS} ...would love to see a 1.30 break so we could get a washout and reverse...

[14:26] {Threei} euro is so toast...

[14:26] {Threei} they can band-aid it for years, but eventual result will be the same

[14:28] {RonS} 1.310 should be 1.3010

[14:34] {Les} vad, bounce hunt for AMZN?

[14:34] {Threei} GS Fairholme reportedly discloses large stake in Goldman Sachs (151.79, +2.29, 1.53%)

[14:38] {Les} ;)

[14:38] {magoo} NO..but maybe GS HE HE

[14:38] {Threei} or AMZN short on .50 break

[14:41] {Threei} what else is easy out there

[14:41] {Threei} oh, GOOG

[14:41] {nemo} bidu

[14:41] {Les} IN

[14:43] {Threei} did you pick the direction or closed your eyes and clicked?

[14:44] {Threei} US) Senator Leahy (D-VT) plans to back pending legislation that would curb credit card companies' "swipe fees"

[14:44] {RonS} toilet paper again?

[14:44] {Threei} so, Leahy thinks cradit card companies should provide service for free?

[14:44] {Les} I actually wanted long, based on behaviour of stock at 14:08

[14:45] {Threei} - Bill would limit the ability of credit card industry to charge merchants small fees on each transaction.

[14:45] {Threei} - The fees bring the credit card industry $40B a year in revenue.

[14:45] {Les} see bear trap before bounce at 14:10?

[14:45] {RonS} ...he thinks only Congress shoudl get a fee for swiping...our money.

[14:46] {Threei} Les, I think with spread over a dollar you can find ant kind of plays even when the stock doesn't move at all, LOL

[14:46] {RonS} clf lod

[14:46] {Les} alright alright

[14:46] {nemo} fas too

[14:47] {Les} vad, MGM read here?

[15:12] {Les} like a hole in the head

[15:13] {dino} hmmm, i was thinking hard lemonade

[15:17] {Threei} why does it matter how advisers kept persident "abreast" of search and how many times he was briefed yestyerday before the arrest?

[15:18] {Threei} news reporters can be so stupid sometimes

[15:18] {nemo} Iain Anderson raises salmon in Scotland

[15:18] {Les} so unlike BP incident, president can be seen to be 'on top of it'

[15:18] {Threei} " we were just informed that the president was briefed 6 times yesterday"...

[15:19] {Threei} he had valuable insight how to proceed?

[15:19] {Threei} presonally coordinated the search?

[15:46] {Threei} after that, market was dead

[15:46] {Threei} run into couple stops in the morning, almost no chance to redeem

[15:47] {Threei} today activity was much more evenly spread

[15:47] {Threei} still morning is the most active, sure, but still

[15:47] {shorty} My BP stop today hit hard

[15:47] {Threei} hmm?

[15:47] {Threei} there was just one, and it was slightly over 10 cents

[15:48] {dptl} good evening all..see ya tomorrow

[15:48] {shorty} I had my stop set, but it dipped so fast that I got stopped at a lower price.

[15:48] {RonS} cya dp

[15:48] {Threei} vs I don't know how many winning ones, of all thinkable sizes

[15:48] {Threei} take care dp

[15:50] {_york1} I trade futures nornally. How much slippage do you get on stocks?

[15:50] {Threei} stocks are not created equal

[15:50] {Threei} some are thin, some are thick

[15:50] {Threei} thin ones carry bigger possible slippage

[15:51] {Threei} thick ones practically zero

[15:51] {nemo} yeah, definitely a chance for a sygmoidoscopy

[15:51] {Threei} also, diff brokers offer different quality of executions

[15:51] {_york1} AND BP for example?

[15:52] {_york1} I have IB account

[15:52] {Threei} BP is mid pack

[15:52] {Threei} can be dangerous sometimes

[15:52] {Threei} when conditions become very fast

[15:52] {Threei} under nortmal conditions, not too bad

[15:52] {Threei} but today if you noticed most calls on it were :half lot"

[15:53] {Threei} which was toa ccount for its heightened volatility

[15:53] {nemo} for which Magoo doubled up

[15:53] {Threei} well... magoo has his own ideas how to interpret my words

[15:53] {Threei} he doubles when I sat careful

[15:53] {magoo} nemo, u mean x 4

[15:53] {nemo} he has trouble with your accent

[15:53] {Threei} triples when I say very dangerous

[15:53] {shorty} Have a good night all. Thank you Threei.

[15:54] {magoo} 500 x 4 =2k

[15:54] {Threei} take care shortt

[15:54] {RonS} cya shorty

[15:54] {_york1} do you have a 10 tick stop on scalp trades?

[15:54] {Threei} stop is ddictated by chart

[15:54] {magoo} WAITTTTTTT shorty

[15:54] {shorty} duck

[15:55] {_york1} I see

[15:58] {Threei} FBI guy says bomber was complete dunce

[15:58] {Threei} I am telling you... incompetence of attackers is our most effective line of defense

[15:59] {Threei} scary thought bujt we are biound to run out of luck sooner or later

[15:59] {larisa} later all :)

[16:00] {Les} nighty night
