[10:34] {magoo} calm down
[10:34] {Threei} hmm
[10:34] {Threei} I would prefer to play it on pullback
[10:35] {Threei} to just under 79
[10:35] {_panc} thanks
[10:35] {Threei} hldong .90 and recrossing back over it
[10:35] {Threei} much safer way to play this thing
[10:35] {Threei} lol mags
[10:35] {Threei} now, important order of business just when you thought it was over
06[10:36] * Threei slaps kowboy around a bit with a large 2x4 with sing incrusted on it: NEVER EVER send a market order on a break of a big support or resistance
[10:36] {RonS} here come de judge- Flip Wilson

[10:43] {Les} gdx
[10:44] {Les} sorry
[10:45] {RonS} It's Over- Roy Orbison
[10:45] {Threei} Preview: (US) Treasury coupon announcment expected at 11ET
[10:45] {Threei} - analysts generally expect a small cut to the 3-year auction while the 10 and 30-year reopenings are likely to remain unchanged. Expect $32B 3-year, $21B 10-year and $13B 3-year for a $66B package that includes just under $54B in new money.
[10:45] {Les} gdx .60 b/d?
[10:46] {Threei} probably
[10:46] {Les} hopefully bounce for stop first

[10:58] {Threei} hard to tell
[10:58] {Threei} 50/50
[10:58] {Les} is that like a bubble butt?

[11:30] {Threei} welcome sir
[11:30] {RonS} wow jf gj
06[11:31] * Threei slaps jfjf64 around a bit with a large roll of cash
[11:31] {magoo} dats DATS how ya do it
[11:32] {jfjf64} what made ya think bounce
[11:32] {jfjf64} that question
[11:32] {jfjf64} i need to learn
[11:32] {jfjf64} lol
[11:33] {Threei} you don't want to hear an aswer
[11:33] {jfjf64} wanna shoot myself
[11:33] {Threei} but I'll give it to you anyway
[11:33] {jfjf64} didnt partial
[11:33] {jfjf64} got out in full 18.97
[11:33] {Threei} there are things I can put in words, in strictly defined setups
[11:33] {jfjf64} answer pls
[11:34] {magoo} ouyt here .46
[11:34] {magoo} ty
[11:34] {magoo} no pain
[11:34] {Threei} :)
[11:34] {jfjf64} gj magoo
[11:35] {Threei} and there are things that work on deeper level than logic, parameters, defined criteria and "programmable" actions
[11:35] {Threei} intuition based pn 14 years of exxperience
[11:35] {Threei} arriving to a conclusion thanks to huge arsenal of recognizable situations
[11:35] {jfjf64} sometime trust GUT
[11:35] {magoo} suubliminal pattern recognition
[11:35] {jfjf64} correct
[11:35] {Threei} yup
[11:36] {Threei} when I can define it, I make colored alert call
[11:36] {Threei} in some cases I can't
[11:36] {Threei} I just look at the chart and see how it's going to unfold
[11:36] {Threei} this was one of them
[11:36] {Threei} you noticed,
[11:36] {jfjf64} looks lk set up again
[11:36] {jfjf64} kgc
[11:36] {RonS} aka pattern recognition...
[11:36] {Threei} right after I said it, SPY made sharp red bar
[11:37] {Threei} and I said
[11:37] {Threei} [11:20] {Threei} feels like last shakeout
[11:37] {Threei} [11:20] {Threei} then ramp up
[11:37] {Threei} [11:20] {Threei} feels like last shakeout
[11:37] {Threei} [11:20] {Threei} then ramp up
[11:37] {Threei} sorry for double
[11:37] {Threei} if I said I had a method to read why it was a shakeout and not another step down, I would be lying
[11:37] {Threei} I have no idea
[11:37] {RonS} my take jf fwiw: there are spike/drop reversals, and wave reversals
[11:38] {jfjf64} fwiw
[11:38] {jfjf64} like
[11:38] {jfjf64} took
[11:38] {jfjf64} few seconds
[11:39] {RonS} gld was a wave reversal. since the 4th selloff wave came so early in the day it increased thwe chance of a reversal here rather than a 5th wave down...
[11:40] {RonS} ...there are rarely more than 5 waves intraday...
[11:42] {jfjf64} didnt read that in 3i book
[11:42] {jfjf64} lol
[11:42] {jfjf64} ty
[11:43] {Les} Ron would you mind pointing out the waves please? I'm interested in what you see
[11:43] {Les} can you paint them in and save the page?
[11:44] {RonS} like i said "my take"...
06[11:44] * magoo slaps Les around a bit with a large trout
[11:44] {Les} piss off mags
[11:44] {magoo} got your back ron:)
[11:45] {Les} sure, wanna see how you interpret your waves, is all. You see 4 of them here in GLD...
[11:45] {Threei} my view, and admittedly unpopular, is:
[11:45] {RonS} Les my criteria is rough...essentially it is a drop and basing for a single wave, for the next it needs to go below the first etcetera
[11:45] {Les} wish we could upload like we used to
[11:45] {Threei} you can count waves in any way you like
[11:45] {Les} aaah ok
[11:46] {Threei} there are as many ways to do it as there are people who apply them
[11:46] {Threei} and they are always obvious after the fact
[11:46] {Threei} but I aam yet to see any consistent application of them before the fact
[11:48] {Threei} here is the thing to ponder though
[11:48] {larisa} "having no idea" is more consistent ? :)
[11:48] {larisa} just kidding, do not kill me, great call :)
[11:48] {Threei} in the end, any method of TA ultimately is a method of visualizing things in a form that makes it easier for us to comprehend the action
[11:49] {RonS} btw, i only do the wave thing intraday...and the count on gld so early is very rare. That plus 3i's "unconcious competance" of pattern recognition promted me to act
[11:49] {RonS} prompted
[11:49] {Threei} so if waves or Fibs or golden ratio or moon cycles help you see the rhythm - use it
[11:50] {Threei} I just hate it when waves theorists spew the nonsense about 150 years cycles, lol
[11:50] {magoo} really, what ron sees as waves may be HIS subliminal pattern recog
[11:50] {Threei} DOW formed 80 years wave, which is fifth one counting from 380 years ago?
[11:50] {Threei} bs, me says :)
[11:51] {jfjf64} lol
[11:51] {Threei} and larisa... don't tell me who to kill and who not to... I'll kill whoever I please
[11:51] {jfjf64} wow
[11:52] {larisa} nah, not afraid :)
[11:52] {Threei} I know... this is how I epxress my being scared :)
[11:52] {larisa} lol
[11:53] {Les} LVS
[11:53] {Les} .85 b/d?
[11:53] {RonS} jf...ever heard of the Levels of Competance: 1. Unconcious Incompetant 2. Concious Incompetant 3. Concious Competant 4. Unconcious Competant
[11:53] {Threei} and to answer... no, "having no idea" is not very consistent - how often do you see me making this kind of call? :)
[11:54] {Threei} yes Ron... nemo's fan of that definition
[11:54] {Threei} LVS, no
[11:54] {Les} LVS looks like breakout
[11:54] {Les} but market is a$$, as mags likes to say
[11:54] {Threei} breakout maybe
[11:54] {Threei} breakdown, no
[11:54] {RonS} ...what makes 3i rare is that he is in Stage 4, but can still express for the most part what makes him competant. Most Stage 4's and are in a state of zen and have long forgotten what makes them competant
[11:55] {Les} yeh ok
[11:55] {Threei} hmm... being rare makes me fearful
[11:56] {Threei} am I about to extinct?
[11:56] {RonS} ...the only thing i fear is Larissa...:D
[11:56] {Les} I'd like to think I'm conscious incompetent but Vad hits me so often with 2X4 that I fear unconsciousness and greater incompetancy
[11:56] {Threei} you should... I know I am
[11:56] {RonS} that is funny Les...
[11:57] {Threei} concussion can only help les
[11:57] {Threei} I sholuld say, occassional concussion... sounds smooth
[11:57] {Threei} rolls of the tongue easy
[11:58] {Threei} occassional concussion leading to unconsciousness
[11:58] {Threei} say that three times fast
[12:10] {ese} L teva .52 L sndk 39
[12:17] {ese} out teva .58 +.06
[12:19] {Les} SLV
[12:20] {Les} b/d?

06[14:04] * Threei envisions Ron blacking out
[14:05] {RonS} ...from boredom?
[14:06] {Threei} I actually meant my poetic prowess... but whatever
[14:06] {Threei} sniff sniff

[14:19] {jfjf64} hmm yoda
[14:19] {Threei} it's easy Les
[14:19] {Threei} close your eyes and hit keys randomly
[14:19] {Threei} open your eyes and see what transpired
[14:19] {Threei} sometimes it makes sense - then copy it and paste into draft of your next book
[14:20] {Threei} dismiss the rest
[14:20] {Threei} discard even
[14:20] {magoo} vad, r u really writing a new book

[14:28] {RonS} my favorite republican: http://tinyurl.com/33dqvdo
[14:29] {Les} hold on Vad
[14:29] {Les} hard to ask my schoolteacher wife
[14:29] {Les} what it means to speak like you
[14:29] {Threei} doesn't work Ron
[14:29] {Les} http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Article+(grammar)
[14:30] {Les} so you often skip definite and indefinite articles
[14:30] {Les} when writing
[14:30] {Les} the, a
[14:30] {Threei} yes, most russians do
[14:30] {Les} etc
[14:30] {RonS} hmm, works for me...reuters story that Chris Cristie is cancelling a big project
[14:30] {Les} yes, this is what I wanted to ask
[14:30] {Threei} this is a concept that is absolutely foreign to russians
[14:30] {Les} how is it in yourlanguage?
[14:31] {Threei} there is no such thing at all
[14:31] {Threei} A and THE is something we just don't get
[14:31] {Les} so "a" cat is...?
[14:31] {Threei} cat
[14:31] {RonS} lol
[14:31] {Les} :)
[14:32] {RonS} reminds me of Abbot and Costello
[14:32] {Threei} all who edit my writing always have about 80% of what they do in putting those As and THEs in place
[14:32] {Threei} for us they carry no meaning
[14:32] {Threei} so we tend to mix them or skip them altogether
[14:33] {Les} strange. I just can't picture "cat"
[14:33] {RonS} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M
[14:33] {Les} the cat, a cat, my cat yes...
[14:33] {Threei} well, then explain the difference between a cat and the cat :)
[14:33] {Les} AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
[14:33] {RonS} genric v specific
[14:34] {RonS} generic
[14:34] {Threei} no, I understandf that
[14:34] {Threei} but when Les says "picture", I suggest a visual :)
[14:34] {Threei} "cat came close"
[14:34] {Threei} "a cat came close"
[14:34] {Threei} "the cat came close"
[14:35] {Threei} I pictuire the came cat in all three instances :)
[14:35] {Threei} the same
[14:35] {Les} fascinating
[14:35] {RonS} ...the French started all of it trying to get laid...imo
[14:36] {Threei} lol
[14:37] {RonS} ...if you have not seen it 3i, you gotta watch that Abbot and Costello bit...a classic
[14:37] {Les} how do you differentiate between a cat you know and a cat you don't know...?
[14:37] {Les} i.e., a cat or the cat?
[14:37] {Threei} I put the name or qualifier
[14:37] {RonS} ...who cares...it's a cat...
[14:38] {Les} so your cat or the neighbours cat etc?
[14:38] {Threei} my cat
[14:38] {Threei} her cat
[14:38] {Threei} unknown cat
[14:38] {Threei} felix the cat
[14:38] {RonS} cat in the hat
[14:39] {Threei} who's on first.. I know that one, Ron :)
[14:39] {Les} ok so russian requires a qualifier or further info.... ok
[14:39] {RonS} good 'nuff
[14:39] {Threei} or it's just understood by default Les
[14:40] {Les} sure that I can understand
[14:40] {Threei} you can tell a story about you walking somwhere, and say
[14:40] {Threei} black cat peeked from around the corner
[14:40] {Threei} it will be clear
[14:40] {Threei} from the cotext, whether you knew the cat or not
[14:41] {RonS} ...but which corner?...:D
[14:41] {Threei} THE corner :)
[14:42] {Threei} but whatever you do, never ever say "a larisa"...
[14:42] {RonS} ...anyway, language is about as clear as mud...or as bill clinto said "it depends on what is is"
[14:42] {RonS} clinton
[14:43] {Threei} I have a lot pf sympathy to those who study Russian
[14:43] {RonS} ...and "when they asked if i have sexual relations i thought they meant sex with my relations...
[14:44] {khaln} lol
[14:45] {Les} hehehe
[14:52] {RonS} 3i, do you think tivo is winding up for a move?
[14:53] {Threei} could be... seems like binding its time
[14:53] {Les} http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-to-veto-foreclosure-gate-bill-2010-10
[14:54] {Les} seems congress trying to do its usual routine

[14:57] {RonS} The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
[14:57] {RonS} Alexis de Tocqueville
