01[13:55] {@Threei} Long Setup:  GLD  .60 break

01[13:55] {@Threei}  If holds  .50 

[13:55] {+cc_9} IWM i think we break 114 then fly

[13:55] {+cc_9} TNA should give a nice squeeze till about 75.25

[13:58] {+cc_9} here we go guys, the bounce is on the way

[13:58] {+cc_9} http://www.bite.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/soon5-580x359.jpg

[14:02] {dino} ron, np, gj

[14:02] {+cc_9} TNA volume picking up

[14:02] {+cc_9} IWM tagging $114

[14:02] {+cc_9} pushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[14:06] {+cc_9} 114.30 IWM target, should give about 75.25ish TNA

[14:07] {dino} out wll .82, +.17 got lucky

[14:07] {+cc_9} IWM } $114 pushhhhhhhhhhhh

[14:10] {+cc_9} out half TNA 74.75 +$0.62, sitting tight on rest

[14:11] {+cc_9} i think 75.25 is doable

[14:14] {+cc_9} 74.80, chugging along

[14:14] {+cc_9} sob VXX catching a slight bid

[14:14] {nemo} action getting volatile in tna

01[14:17] {@Threei}  weird drop

[14:17] {+cc_9} yes, GILD just trashed

[14:17] {+cc_9} SPY also near lows

[14:18] {+cc_9} crashathon

[14:19] {nemo} trying to entice the bears back in

[14:22] {+cc_9} yes, IWM kinda held its shit 

[14:22] {+cc_9} fast bounce off lows TNA/IWM

[14:22] {nemo} doesn't look like new low in iwm

[14:24] {+cc_9} news out that people are surprised FB scans people's messages

[14:25] {nemo} it's an NSA front company

[14:25] {+cc_9} NSA now tapping hardware too

[14:25] {+cc_9} this is why I always advise to buy your PC in parts and put it together yourself

[14:26] {+cc_9} not only it will work much better, but the Party Van won't be outside your house when you have 5% left to finish a torrent

01[14:26] {@Threei}  what I did couple years ago

[14:26] {nemo} I remember back in the first Iraq war, they intercepted a network printer going to Iraq, and inserted a control virus

[14:26] {+cc_9} (hehe)

[14:26] {nemo} hehehehe

[14:27] {+cc_9} eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehehehehe

[14:28] {+cc_9} nemo, check pm

[14:28] {nemo} ahhh the good old days of New Years eve:  http://dailym.ai/1dXdvpd

[14:29] {RonS} ...thought that happened every time there is a soccer game over there...

01[14:29] {@Threei}  but, cc9... if they tap hardware, how are you guaranteed the parts you buy are not tapped yet?

[14:31] {nemo} yeah, that's what I think also

[14:32] {RonS} wti 95.40

[14:32] {nemo} just need one innocuous chip on a board somewhere

[14:32] {+cc_9} TNA cash cowing

[14:32] {+cc_9} buy low sell high nonstop

[14:32] {+cc_9} every dip

[14:32] {+cc_9} load

[14:33] {+cc_9} Vad, that's simple

[14:33] {+cc_9} because computers that are already put together are being sold by regular off the shelf US retailers

[14:33] {+cc_9} when you buy parts separate, they come from china

[14:33] {+cc_9} NSA has no time to scan your GPU, CPU, monitor boxes to find out which one has the mobo

[14:33] {+cc_9} w/e makes their job harder, I am all for it

[14:33] {nemo} ahhhh...better to have the chinese hacking your computer then

[14:34] {+cc_9} newegg.com = where i shop

[14:34] {nemo} or Tigerdirect

[14:34] {RonS} ya, why buy US bugs when you can get Chinese ones...?

01[14:34] {@Threei}  yeah, mine was entirely built from newegg's parts

[14:34] {+cc_9} Chinese has not been accused of putting backdoors on computers that are sold in the US nemo, NSA has.

[14:34] {+cc_9} ron, read above

[14:34] {+cc_9} so until then, there is no proof

[14:34] {nemo} yes, but they have been accused of bugging hardware going back a few years

[14:35] {+cc_9} yes, but no

[14:35] {nemo} it's all fiction until otherwise proven, then how would we know

[14:35] {+cc_9} its much easier to put a backdoor on a PC that's already put together

[14:35] {+cc_9} than to go through 10 boxes to look for the motherboard

[14:36] {+cc_9} like i said, its not fool proof, but its less dumb

[14:36] {nemo} path of least resistance

[14:36] {nemo} anybody ever see "Remo Williams"

[14:37] {+cc_9} nemo, TigerDirect is good, but newegg is unmatched as far as prices go

[14:37] {+cc_9} not sure if you're aware, but comp USA is now part of TigerDirect

[14:37] {+cc_9} they renamed the shops

[14:37] {nemo} didn't know

[14:37] {+cc_9} "and if you don't know, now you know, nemo" B.I.G

[14:38] {RonS} Chinese don't have this tradition I guess:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVIA1n5ng4Y

[14:38] {+cc_9} "On January 6, 2008, a month after CompUSA was sold to liquidators, Systemax, Inc. (TigerDirect's parent company) announced its purchase of 16 CompUSA locations as well as the brand, trademarks, e-commerce business, and technical services."

[14:38] {nemo} ahhhh

[14:39] {+cc_9} TNA cash cow'ing

[14:40] {+cc_9} nemo, in the tech world, we call FB a "honeypot"

[14:41] {+cc_9} its basically a data collection website that lures in the poor saps

[14:41] {nemo} Yep

[14:41] {+cc_9} "hey friend, im coming over right now, i got that oz of pot you wanted!"

[14:41] {+cc_9} meanwhile, the cops are behind you on the freeway lol

[14:42] {RonS} nemo, that cat pix is classic...should post the link here...

[14:43] {nemo} oh that twitter retweet?

[14:43] {RonS} ya

[14:43] {+cc_9} VXX catching bids again

[14:49] {RonS} ya, it is all surreal to me too... effectivley cigs outlawed and pot sanctioned

[14:49] {nemo} just saw an elephant fly by

[14:50] {nemo} not like on the Pink Floyd Album cover

[14:50] {nemo} yeah, look at it every day...........................not

[14:50] {nemo} ahhhh

Dec 31 2013

Last Catch of the Day of 2013. Juicy one, too.

Very nice end to the year, with surprisingly strong trading results despite extremely low volume - about 40% lower than 3-month average. Just one stop, the rest were wins of various sizes, including nice fat long of TWTR.

Happy New Year, see you on Thursday!

[10:42] {nemo} Tarantino's approach to the movie was interesting.  It was satire, I was laughing my ass off through about half of it
[10:42] {+cc_9} 2015 in America : white people must apologize for everything. Men must bow to feminists and LGBT and apologize for being male

[11:07] {dino} thinking the same cc9
01[11:07] {@Threei}  nice looking setup
01[11:12] {@Threei}  1:1
01[11:12] {@Threei}  good find tbell
01[11:13] {@Threei}  100% day so far... who would have thought
[11:13] {thomcbell} tu
[11:15] {thomcbell} i didnt get any - did a 54.55 trigger with 0.56 top
[11:16] {thomcbell} this could be a nice run up thru day high
01[11:16] {@Threei}  are you using a hover trick?
[11:16] {thomcbell} what is that vad?
01[11:16] {@Threei}  hold on, I'll see if I can find log where I taight Will how to do it
[11:17] {nemo} the buy or sell button does not fire until you release the mouse button after pressing it down
01[11:17] {@Threei}  here it is
[11:17] {nemo} Therefore, you press it down and hold it until the trade triggers
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} you want to buy break of .10,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} you put it limit at , say, .12,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} hover your cursor over Buy button,
[11:18] {nemo} If it doesn't trigger, you slide the mouse cursor off the buy or sell button before you release the mouse button
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} as stock approaches triger, you depress the mouse button but do not release it until .10 is crossed.
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} If trigger is there, you just release a button - faster than full click,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} Now,
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} if a stock retreats from .10
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:05] {&Threei} you move your cursor away from Buy and then release it
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:05] {&Threei} somewhat dangerous trick as you may release it accidentally before moving away from hover position
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:06] {&Threei} but with little practice and paying attention, it becomes pretty much automatic
01[11:19] {@Threei}  end
[11:20] {RonS} and if that doesn't work rub your belly while patting your head three times while boiling an eye of newt...
[11:21] {nemo} Ron, go play with your wife
01[11:21] {@Threei}  but Ron... you need to do it all on the intersection where you buried bat's bones in full moon night
[11:21] {RonS} oh ya, forgot...
[11:22] {pragmatic} I'd recommend pracicing it in the paper mode though. Certain applications may handle mouse clicks differently. I've seen some handling just 'click down' event, without even been a full click
[11:22] {nemo} do it with 100 shares
01[11:22] {@Threei}  this is tested and proven
06[11:22] * pragmatic cool

[12:10] {nemo} ahhh
[12:10] {+cc_9} do you need me to draw it ?
[12:11] {nemo} no, but it wasn't immediately apparent, because of the disjointedness of viewing this window, clicking on the gif, viewing it in another window, with the additional burden of maintaining an understanding of your convoluted sense of humor

01[12:28] {@Threei}  whole start trek mythology thing,

[12:34] {RonS} pffft
[12:34] {nemo} although, you have Thursday and Friday to do that
01[12:35] {@Threei}  sorry... not to rain on any idols but sopunds like total fluff to me
[12:35] {dino} doesn't interest me
[12:35] {nemo} just an opinion and they're like, you know
01[12:35] {@Threei}  it's not even opinion
[12:35] {nemo} or, in the spirit of the day their like
01[12:35] {@Threei}  "interesting to see"?
[12:35] {nemo} there like
01[12:36] {@Threei}  I need to try that:
[12:36] {dino} my q? what does it matter to daytraders?
[12:36] {nemo} I guess it positions onesel for plausible deniability
01[12:36] {@Threei}  "Onteresting to see if there is a long setip in ABCD on 20 break"
[12:36] {dino} thinking doug is talking his book
01[12:36] {@Threei}  if it works, I say "Victory is mine"
01[12:37] {@Threei}  if doesn't, I say "I never called it long, I was just interested to see"
[12:37] {dino} opinions are like assholes, everybody has one
01[12:37] {@Threei}  "Expression of interest"
[12:37] {nemo} [12:36] {nemo} just an opinion and they're like, you know
[12:38] {dino} ahh
[12:38] {nemo} dino, finished by "and they all stink"
01[12:39] {@Threei}  as far as trading concerned, I don't give a flying sneeze about what one's opinion is. What I care about is how one handles the situation when his opinion is wrong
[12:39] {nemo} a flying sneeze?  mmmmhh...never heard that one before
01[12:39] {@Threei}  be mistaken all you want, I will still consider you a good trader if you take your stop and move on

[12:48] {nemo} spy iwm finnies and gld at vwap
01[12:48] {@Threei}  The price of gold has fallen 28% this year. That means it had its worst year in OVER 30 years
[12:49] {nemo} yeah 2nd worst performing asset, I think silver was a bit worse
01[12:49] {@Threei}  and corn
[12:49] {nemo} ahhh, yeah that was another one
[12:52] {dino} omed spike
[12:53] {+cc_9} wonder what AAPl wants to do here, sitting flat
[12:53] {+cc_9} as SPY bounces a bit
[12:56] {+cc_9} AAPL catching some bids
[12:57] {+cc_9} SPY money flow in 2013 : $170B
[12:57] {+cc_9} GLD lost $25 in outflows
01[12:59] {@Threei}  25?
01[13:00] {@Threei}  B?
[13:00] {nemo} Schumi has improved a bit
01[13:04] {@Threei}  so, I am still lost... what's bloomberg's beef with e-cigarettes?
[13:04] {nemo} nicotine
01[13:04] {@Threei}  he didn't ban actual ones, did he?
01[13:05] {@Threei}  and they are way more harmful
[13:05] {thomcbell} right
[13:05] {nemo} well, you can't really smoke cigarettes anywhere in the city anymore
01[13:05] {@Threei}  e-version eliminates ,ajority of harmful substances
[13:05] {thomcbell} true -
[13:05] {nemo} so, he's basically applying the same conditions
01[13:05] {@Threei}  and as a replacement helps diminish the harm greatly
[13:05] {nemo} yeah, it's basically nicotine delivery system
[13:06] {RonS} just payoff for his mob supporters...now they can smuggle them...
01[13:06] {@Threei}  so he leaves actual cigarettes untouched but bans less harmful version?
[13:06] {thomcbell} it is a good way to wean off
01[13:06] {@Threei}  it is, that's how I quit smoking
[13:06] {nemo} no, they are basically banned too, you can't smoke them indoors anywhere except in your home
[13:06] {+cc_9} Its because the state of NY runs on "feels"
[13:06] {+cc_9} its bc e-cigs "LOOK" real
[13:06] {+cc_9} that is why they were banned
[13:06] {+cc_9} this is not a joke, its the actual reason.
01[13:06] {@Threei}  imbeciles...
01[13:07] {@Threei}  seriously cc9?
01[13:07] {@Threei}  they cite that?
01[13:07] {@Threei}  I take "imbeciles" back... it's insulting to imbeciles
[13:07] {+cc_9} yes, i am serious
[13:08] {+cc_9} Council President Christine Quinn said banning e-cigarettes would make it easier to enforce the city's ban on real smoking. Because they're designed to look like real cigarettes, it can be tough for law enforcement officers, business owners and club bouncers to tell who's really smoking and who's only "vaping."
[13:09] {dino} hclp spike
01[13:09] {@Threei}  sigh
01[13:10] {@Threei}  after about 30 years of smoking I quit in a matter of 3 months, with no cravings, nice and easy
01[13:10] {@Threei}  thanks to e-cigarette

[13:13] {+cc_9} VXX through the roof
01[13:13] {@Threei}  as far as I and people around me could tell, there was none
[13:14] {nemo} yeah, I remember when you had them in the Bahamas, that was the first I had seen of them

01[15:52] {@Threei}  (US) Seeing reports that police in Washington DC are investigating a suspicious package near the White House

Dec 30 2013

Extremely low volume day, about 35% below 3 months average. Took a few stops but 3 juicy 1:3 plays covered them and then some. Both were shorts, C and FB. Missed some good ones, especially traditional closing GLD short and opening FB short - these two would make a day stellar.


Session Time: Mon Dec 30 00:00:00 2013

[09:02] {dino} gm
01[09:02] {@Threei}  morning dino
[09:04] {nemo} Hey Dino, see any of the Patriots' game yesterday?
01[09:06] {@Threei}  The Olympics in Sochi will surpass $50 billion, making it the most expensive games ever
[09:07] {dino} nemo, no, had an afternoon meeting, missed it
[09:07] {nemo} wow...just read, they've gotten the first round bye 8 times since 2001
[09:07] {nemo} I don't think anybody stands a chance against the NFC though
[09:08] {dino} good to see a few different teams in the playoffs
[09:08] {nemo} as long as the Jets don't make it, I'm happy
[09:08] {nemo} ;-)
[09:08] {dino} lol, we did lace 2nd in division
[09:09] {dino} just need a real quarterback
[09:09] {nemo} I didn't know that
[09:10] {dino} yeah, 8/8, 2nd place, beat miami, pats, and bills
[09:11] {nemo} Funny...looking at the Pats losses, they all basically came down to the last play
[09:12] {dino} all i can say is its tough being a jet fan
[09:12] {nemo} Funny thing, I'm more enamoured by the process Belichick has in place for development and improvement, then I care about the wins and losses...They've been an enjoyable team to watch for their perserverance this year
01[09:12] {@Threei}  for comparison, Vancouver games cost was around 6B
[09:13] {nemo} Well, 42 billion is payoff probably in Russia
01[09:16] {@Threei}  with this terror attack this close to the place and in time, even security is under question now
[09:18] {+cc_9} Good morning.

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Santa Claus Rally Comes to Town

- The Santa Claus rally arrived right on time this week, as the DJIA and the S&P500 pushed out to fresh all-time highs. Low-energy trading prevailed during the quiet Christmas holiday period, with volumes running 30-40% below historical averages, as is usual at this time of year. Europe was even quieter than US trading, though the German DAX cracked 9,500 for the first time. In Japan the Nikkei Index topped 16,000 for the first time in six years on more signs that Abenomics is working. For the week, the DJIA gained 1.6%, the S&P500 added 1.3% and the Nasdaq rose 1.3%, even as, with little fanfare, the 10-year Treasury yield crossed above 3.00% for the first time in nearly two-and-a-half years.

- The November US durable goods report was strong, with the top-line figure at +3.5%, while the October data was revised higher, to -0.7% from -2.0% prior. Excluding transportation, orders rose 1.2%, the most since May, while core capital goods rose 4.5%, the strongest since January. Analysts caution that the strong figures for the month (and likely the forthcoming December data) may reflect companies scrambling to acquire capital goods before the expiration of R&D and depreciation tax credits at the end of 2013. Initial jobless claims were better than expected and saw the largest week-over-week decline since November 2012, coming off a 9-month high last week. The volatility can be explained by the usual difficulty the labor department has in accounting for seasonal hiring.

- Retailers frantically marked down goods in the days leading up to Christmas in an effort to squeeze more sales out of a holiday shopping period that was six days shorter than last year. SpendingPulse reported 2013 retail sales grew 3.5% y/y in the period from November 1st to December 24th. Comscore determined that online sales showed double-digit growth for the holiday period but still fell short of expectations, as the last week before Christmas was "considerably softer" than predicted.

- Apple shares were on the move again as the company formally announced its 4G partnership with China Mobile, after a long period of negotiations. Sales of iPhones 5S and 5C models will begin in mid-January. Tech blogs also reported that Apple's inaugural foray into the large-screen "phablet" device category may arrive sooner than expected, with reports of a possible May 2014 launch from prior expectations of a fall launch.

- Over the course of December, shares of Twitter appreciated approximately 75% in a run that has been attributed to momentum trades and year-end buying by fund managers. The run topped as shares hit $74 on Thursday and then sank 8% over the course of trading on Friday. Multiple analysts have made cautious comments about the social media company, warning that a market cap of $38 billion for an unprofitable company was questionable, at best.

- Textron announced a $1.4 billion deal to acquire bankrupt aircraft manufacturer Beechcraft Corp. With this acquisition, Textron is looking to counter a slump in business-jet sales. Jos. A. Bank rejected the $55/share counter takeover offer from Men's Wearhouse, following Men's Wearhouse previous rejection of Jos. A. Bank's $48/share offer. Seagate said it would buy network and storage equipment maker Xyratex for about $374M to strengthen its supply and manufacturing chain for disk drives.

- FX trading saw big moves in illiquid year-end markets. EUR/USD finally tested above the 1.3800 handle as participants shot out stops layered above the 1.3830 level. There was plenty of talk about option barriers toward the 1.4000 level (which happens to correspond with the 5-year downtrend line).

- The Nikkei225 Index saw eight up sessions and hit a fresh six-year high above 16,000 as the yen extended five-year lows against the dollar and the euro. In data out on Thursday, Japanese core CPI lifted above 1% for first time since 2008, although analysts caution the rise has been more cost-push rather than the more desirable demand-pull sort of inflation. The weaker yen currency has been a big factor in driving CPI higher. PM Abe's cabinet also approved the FY14/15 budget draft this week, proposing a record ¥95.88T in spending.

- USD/CNY hit 20-year lows this week as the pair edged closer 6.0700. After a year-end cash crunch unsettled global markets, the PBoC undertook its first repurchase agreement in three weeks. The absence of central bank intervention in money markets had caused rates spike, driving underperformance on Chinese stock markets in the second half of December.

- The Turkish currency (Lira) continued to hit fresh record lows against the USD and Euro after Turkey PM Erdogan replaced half of his cabinet following an unscheduled meeting with President Gul in an effort to quell protests against allegations of high level corruption. The USD/TRY tested above the 2.16.
