[10:15] {nemo} 1:1 lvs
[10:16] {Threei}  could be, but I'd prefer aggresive entry for that
[10:16] {magoo} lvs tends to over due it, as in it should fall further

[10:17] {shorty} LVS is jumpy today on the long side.
[10:18] {nemo} stop to .95
[10:18] {Threei}  PIMCO's Bill Gross releases Aug Investment Outlook: Privates Eye
[10:18] {Threei}  - New Normal that will likely impact growth and financial markets for years to come. Our New Normal, to repeat ad nauseam, is predicated upon deleveraging, reregulation and deglobalization, all of which promote slower economic growth and lower inflation in developed economies while substantially bypassing emerging market countries that have more favorable initial conditions
[10:18] {i2romantis} LVS short .03
[10:18] {Threei}  - The danger today, as opposed to prior deleveraging cycles, is that the deleveraging is being attempted into the headwinds of a structural demographic downwave as opposed to a decade of substantial population growth
[10:18] {Threei}  - PIMCOs continuing New Normal thesis of deleveraging, reregulation and deglobalization produces structural headwinds that lead to lower economic growth as well as half-sized asset returns when compared to historical averages. The New Normal will not be aided nor abetted by a slower-growing population nor by cyclical policy errors that thrust Keynesian consumption remedies on a declining consumer base
[10:19] {nemo} bp long break of .63?
[10:19] {nemo} nevermind fakes
[10:21] {nemo} out lvs here
[10:21] {nemo} don't like market drop

[10:22] {nemo} yeah, you've got plenty of cliffs in Switzerland
[10:24] {i2romantis} out LVS +14
[10:26] {i2romantis} funny, i dno't use market orders, but this time I tried and it waited for 10 seconds, oddly enough, so I redid it with a limit order and got it in within that second
[10:27] {Threei}  that's a surefire sign of your order flow being sold
[10:27] {Threei}  change
[10:28] {hawk} oil #'s coming up
[10:29] {strider} short JEC .14
[10:29] {strider} stop .20
[10:30] {Threei}  - The danger today, as opposed to prior deleveraging cycles, is that the deleveraging is being attempted into the headwinds of a structural demographic downwave as opposed to a decade of substantial population growth
[10:30] {Threei}  - PIMCOs continuing New Normal thesis of deleveraging, reregulation and deglobalization produces structural headwinds that lead to lower economic growth as well as half-sized asset returns when compared to historical averages.

[10:31] {strider} out 1/2 .08 +.06
[10:31] {Threei}  out of all numbers published this one is the most meaningless

[10:32] {strider} out 1/4 .04 +.10
[10:33] {nemo} slab short break of 41?
[10:34] {Threei}  looks like
[10:34] {Threei}  keep shares smallish

[10:39] {i2romantis} RMBS moving with LVS for the past few days
[10:39] {i2romantis}  somewhat
[10:41] {i2romantis} short LVS .83
[10:44] {i2romantis} wrong on that one
[10:44] {Threei}  nah, it can't be. it's market that is wrong
[10:45] {Threei}  but keep your stops nonetheless :)
[10:45] {i2romantis} out LVS -.05
[10:45] {ese} heres a free one for you: www.stockmapper.com/STXtrac.html  great heat map of the S&P 500
[10:45] {strider} {---------slaps the market around with a large cardboard cutout of i2.
[10:45] {ese} lol
[10:45] {i2romantis} wanted to get in at 26, was too early I feel
[10:47] {i2romantis} you know, i said it before and I will say it again, when I trade when I see rather than what I think, it almost always works out, and I mean always, because even the stops are set properly
[10:47] {i2romantis} the moment I let myselt think and wish (mostly wish :) ), it goes to crapper
[10:48] {Threei}  sounds right to me... that's how it should work
[10:48] {Threei}  thinking is overrated
[10:48] {strider} JEC breaks daily resis....continues down.
[10:48] {ese} hmmmmmmmmmmmmm i'll have to think about that one
[10:49] {Threei}  don't... it will hurt
[10:49] {Threei}  badly
[10:49] {strider} Pain is just weakness leaving the body.
[10:50] {nemo} oooorahhhh!
[10:50] {Threei}  then thinking is pain entering the body
[10:50] {ese} thats another hmmmmmmmmmm
[10:50] {i2romantis} Vad, LVS, short?
[10:50] {Threei}  I don't see any clear setup here
[10:51] {i2romantis} I feel it's going to hit 26.15, but then again, it's thinking
[10:51] {strider} you know all that stuff, nemo.
[10:51] {i2romantis} k thx
[10:51] {nemo} what stuff?
[10:51] {strider} all the 'hoooo-ah' stuff.
[10:51] {nemo} ?
[10:52] {Threei}  SLAB short worked like charm btw
[10:52] {strider} And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil......for I am the meanest m-f in the valley.
[10:52] {nemo} yes
[10:52] {nemo} although, went right to the stop threshold
[10:52] {magoo} we in anything now, was on phone..3 different calls..dam dino
[10:52] {nemo} coma
[10:53] {Threei}  here is funny thing about thinking, now that I think about it
[10:53] {i2romantis} yes?
[10:53] {gregns} yes, ty vad and nemo for slab still in it
[10:53] {Threei}  there are so many people thinking about market, coming up with various, usually quite sophisticated, explanations and theories about qwhat happens and what is coming
[10:54] {Threei}  now and then some of them try to ask me what I think,
[10:54] {Threei}  and I always sound so unsure at best, and most often just plainly answer "no idea"
[10:54] {i2romantis} right
[10:54] {strider} and the answer's always the same:  bring more vodka.
[10:54] {i2romantis} lol
[10:55] {i2romantis} but I think if we ask, it's because I suck at reading setups, still learning
[10:55] {Threei}  and they start telling me that as a trader I must get involved in thinking process,
[10:55] {Threei}  discuss it,
[10:55] {Threei}  otherwise I am not prepared
[10:55] {Threei}  then at some point we inevitably come to the m oment
[10:56] {Threei}  where all their thinking brings them nothing but disappointment
[10:56] {i2romantis} true
[10:56] {Threei}  and my non-thinking simply fives me setups to trade
[10:56] {Threei}  gives too
[10:56] {Threei}  sure enough, they have great explanation for why their prognosis are never right
[10:57] {Threei}  manipulation, what else
[10:57] {Threei}  'cause you know... they figured it all out and they are correct, and if market disagrees - that's because some mean sob manipulated it
[10:57] {i2romantis} i prefer profits than explanations of why it didn't work
[10:58] {Threei}  even if there is such a mean sob,
[10:58] {Threei}  what good the method of market reading is if it doesn't incorporate his existence
[10:58] {Threei}  and doesn't account for his actions?
[11:00] {i2romantis} that's deep, vad
[11:00] {Threei}  yeah... that's me
[11:00] {i2romantis} and makes sense :)
[11:00] {Threei}  deep
[11:00] {nemo} yeah, he shovels pretty good
[11:00] {Threei}  now, where is that cake to slam in someone's face, and where is that paddle to trip someone so he falls into it?
[11:01] {nemo} who?
[11:01] {Threei}  who what?
[11:01] {magoo} sheesh, u doing alot of me in that
[11:01] {lilyd} I have a question about this.  There's a lot written about HFT.  Last week, I read something about how the HFT work off of
[11:01] {lilyd} high probability trades.
[11:01] {magoo} i ask about your basic idea of where mkt is headed
[11:02] {magoo} i think it helps if keep in mind mkt is up say 7 straigt
[11:02] {i2romantis} I'm shorting LVS at 26.15 or around that
[11:02] {lilyd} If this is the case, wouldn't that make what you do, finding high probability trades, work better?
[11:03] {Threei}  I am not sure there is such direct connection, lily
[11:03] {Threei}  HFT is focused on very small movements in highly liquid stocks
[11:03] {Threei}  often taking profits as snmall as 1 cent
[11:04] {Threei}  or less
[11:04] {Threei}  profiting from ECN rebates
[11:04] {Threei}  we don't normally do this
[11:04] {lilyd} OK, so their high probability trades are on a whole different level...
[11:05] {Threei}  there are so many myths about HFT
[11:05] {nemo} talk about scalpers regret on slab
[11:05] {gregns} i agree nemo
[11:05] {nemo} we can be idiots together
[11:05] {nemo} Les carries the flag, though
[11:05] {gregns} "nah"
[11:05] {nemo} the list greg
[11:06] {i2romantis} LVS resisting with the market, too bad
[11:07] {Threei} Long Setup:  LVS  26 break
[11:07] {Threei}  if stays above .90
[11:08] {i2romantis} there we go
[11:08] {nemo} oy
[11:08] {Threei}  1:1
[11:08] {magoo} dam missed that
[11:08] {i2romantis} short it is
[11:09] {jfjf64} all over  that
[11:09] {jfjf64} ty
[11:09] {Threei}  :)
[11:09] {jfjf64} i was  set  up  4  while
[11:09] {strider} did a nemo double tap, but out +.10 in full.
[11:09] {jfjf64} ya  call  got  me  exiteddddddddddddddd
[11:09] {Threei}  I can tell :)
[11:10] {magoo} im reading REAL MONEY, and i miss making REAL {ONEY he he
[11:10] {Threei}  ahh... but you are enriched with knowledge...
06[11:10] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[11:10] {Threei}  hehe
[11:11] {magoo} just justified your whole prev lecture
[11:11] {Threei}  and what do I get for it
[11:11] {magoo} be mean ignorant slob lol ad just take blind setups (as i run for cover)
[11:11] {Threei}  slapped, smelly
[11:12] {magoo} insolted too
[11:12] {Threei}  yup
[11:12] {Threei}  that trout obviously was not of first degree of freshness either
[11:13] {Threei}  and as famous book says,
[11:13] {Threei}  there is no such thing as second degree of freshness. Freshness has just one deggree - first, same as last
[11:15] {nemo} look at slab now, almost back to trigger
[11:15] {Threei}  42% Say Government Would Have Done Worse Job Than BP Responding To Oil Leak
[11:15] {Threei}  just 23% think the government would have done a better job if it had been running the oil giant responsible for both the leak and the subsequent efforts to cap it. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say the response would have been about the same.
[11:16] {Threei}  no slightest doubt in my mind that response would have been much much worse
[11:18] {i2romantis} short on LVS 26.15 ended up a good call
[11:19] {Threei}  yup
[11:19] {strider} BP bounce?
[11:20] {i2romantis} SLAB moved up , indeed the short from 42, if anyone took it, would have been sweet

[11:43] {Threei}  nature intended "hit back" response, not "use your cell phone"
[11:44] {Threei}  at the same time, it makes my wife's life easier since she is able to predict all my reactions

[12:22] {nemo} gag
[12:23] {Threei}  - Chevrolet Volt is the only electric vehicle that can operate under a range of weather climates and driving conditions with little concern of being stranded by a depleted battery. Volt has a total driving range of about 340 miles and is powered by electricity at all times. For up to the first 40 miles, the Volt drives gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free using electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery. When the Volts battery runs low, a gas powered range-extending engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range another 300 miles on a full tank

Jul 26 2010

We started day nicely with a few wins, notably AONE long right out of the gate. The market activity died and we slept through the most of the day - as traders well should during last days of July and most of August.
