Less active day as the markets took some breather, but nicely profitable nonetheless. Most trades were on usual suspects, with FB, CAT and C being most useful.

01[11:45] {@Threei} have you guys seen O's interview with O'Reilly?
[11:45] {fish_49} part of it
[11:45] {RonS} part
[11:46] {fish_49} The problem is, The democrats that need to see their leader, do not watch Fox they watch CNN only
[11:46] {nemo} leave my brethren out of this
[11:46] {nemo} and read Pravda
01[11:46] {@Threei} all problems are caused by Fox it seems
01[11:46] {@Threei} "this and that are not a problem, but Fox makes it a problem"
01[11:47] {@Threei} IRS is all good
01[11:47] {@Threei} Bengazi, what's the problem
[11:47] {fish_49} Yep it's just Fox followers are O haters so they make shit up
01[11:47] {@Threei} yep
[11:47] {RonS} O has phd in goebbels and lenin communication methods
[11:48] {fish_49} I have some younger cousins living in California
[11:48] {fish_49} all love Obama
01[11:48] {@Threei} "the only reason folks think that is because you tell them"
[11:48] {fish_49} I tried to educate them before the first elections
[11:48] {fish_49} could not get thru to them
[11:48] {RonS} just like nazi youth...
[11:49] {fish_49} then months later I hear them bitchin about paying so much in taxes they cant afford to go out to eat or cant afford Child care
[11:49] {fish_49} they never get it
01[11:49] {@Threei} Short Setup: FB .90 break
01[11:50] {@Threei} anyway... one of the most difficult technically shots I've taken recently:
01[11:50] {@Threei} https://www.facebook.com/VadymGraiferPhotography/posts/601633769916142
01[11:50] {@Threei} If holds 63
[11:52] {fish_49} I was looking at that Vad how did you get it without reflection or glare from glass. It appears that your not 90 degrees from the subject so I would have thought reflection or glare
01[11:52] {@Threei} found position where there were no lights behind me so no reflections
01[11:53] {@Threei} well, there was one, I moved my wife to block it :)
01[11:53] {@Threei} thickness of the glass causing distrotions was a big problem
[11:53] {fish_49} lol hope she dont read the room later Vazd
[11:53] {fish_49} lol
01[11:53] {@Threei} and very low light
[11:53] {fish_49} Vad

01[12:02] {@Threei} market is back to slow creep-up mode
[12:04] {fish_49} RonS did you invent the blue light remover yet?
[12:04] {thomcbell} spwr $30 long break if holding 29.90
[12:07] {thomcbell} spwr no go
[12:08] {thomcbell} time of day violation. Tinker bell
[12:09] {fish_49} lol
[12:09] {fish_49} eat lunch
[12:31] {thomcbell} qihu weak here
01[12:43] {@Threei} Long Setup: CAT .40 break
01[12:43] {@Threei} If holds .30
01[12:46] {@Threei} (US) Fed's Evans (dove, FOMC 2014 alternate): Headwinds to the economy are fading, nothing right now in markets calls for a change in policy, Fed is still unlikely to raise rates until 2015- Inflation remains too low, unemployment is still too high. - Not seeing any surge in inflation. - Benefits of current Fed policy still outweigh the costs, not very great risk of policy creating asset bubble. - Best way to deal with bubbles is regulatory action. - Interest rate tool is too blunt to deal with risks from financial instability.
01[12:46] {@Threei} Best way to deal with bubbles is regulatory action
01[12:47] {@Threei} does his business card say "idiot"?
[12:47] {thomcbell} Where is the 2x4 on Cat Vad
01[12:48] {@Threei} still have hope it comes to its senses and behaves on its own
01[12:55] {@Threei} holding by fingertips
[12:57] {fish_49} I don't understand the part about inflation. Too Low?
01[12:57] {@Threei} per their measurements and standards at least
01[12:57] {@Threei} deflation is their nightmare
01[12:58] {@Threei} they consider 2% healthy
[12:59] {fish_49} well 2% is fine as long as GDP is 4 - 6 and unemployment is 5% or less
01[12:59] {@Threei} even then I am not so sure
01[13:00] {@Threei} what is so onherently good about slow creeping permanent tax on savings
[13:00] {nemo} keeps the banking system alive
01[13:00] {@Threei} why can't bank live without inflation?
[13:01] {fish_49} they can if other economic indicators are fine
[13:01] {fish_49} if people are working they are spending
[13:01] {fish_49} americans especially Known for lack of saving
[13:01] {fish_49} spend spend spend
[13:01] {nemo} if there is no inflation, asset values fall
[13:02] {fish_49} Uncle Sam will bail us out if we spend too much
[13:02] {fish_49} Big Brother will take over our loan debt
[13:02] {nemo} if asset values fall, they become worth less than the loans
[13:02] {nemo} people walk away
[13:02] {nemo} reserve ratios disappear
01[13:02] {@Threei} 1:1 CAT
[13:02] {nemo} banks go out of business
01[13:02] {@Threei} wait
[13:02] {nemo} no more fiat
[13:02] {fish_49} when did we get in CAT
[13:02] {fish_49} No more CR breaks for me
01[13:02] {@Threei} why assets fall if there is no inflation?
01[13:03] {@Threei} .40 break fish
[13:03] {fish_49} assets falling would indicate Deflation
[13:03] {nemo} inflation means rising prices
01[13:03] {@Threei} I don't see this as necessary connection
[13:03] {fish_49} ahhh I was on the throne
[13:03] {nemo} keeps asset ahead of loan value
01[13:03] {@Threei} wait
[13:03] {thomcbell} so on cat you did the hover stop and didnt do it vad?
01[13:03] {@Threei} yes thom
01[13:03] {@Threei} no prints under .30
01[13:03] {@Threei} 1 or 2
01[13:03] {@Threei} no selling really, immediate recovery
[13:04] {thomcbell} only mine at 0.30 lol
[13:04] {fish_49} lol Thom
01[13:04] {@Threei} 13:03] {nemo} inflation means rising prices
01[13:04] {@Threei} this doesn't mean that no inflation means falling prices
[13:05] {fish_49} no it means stable prices
[13:05] {nemo} no, but it puts a floor under them
01[13:05] {@Threei} what about steady prices, no inflation, no deflation
[13:05] {nemo} doesnt happen
01[13:05] {@Threei} aside of seasonal and supply-demand caused changes
01[13:05] {@Threei} local to sectors, assets etc
[13:06] {nemo} gawd I hate this price action
01[13:06] {@Threei} there are cycles, sure
01[13:06] {@Threei} let them work themselves out
01[13:06] {@Threei} what's with forced permanent inflation?
[13:06] {fish_49} I agree
[13:06] {fish_49} let Greece fail also
[13:06] {fish_49} let the cards fall where they may
01[13:06] {@Threei} that's a given
01[13:07] {@Threei} it's just that for some reason this became a non-arguable default conclusion that permanent inflation is a part of healthy economy
01[13:07] {@Threei} and I don't see how this is true
01[13:07] {@Threei} 1:2
[13:08] {nemo} vxx likely bottomed
[13:14] {thomcbell} nemo beastly vxx call
[13:15] {nemo} yes and no...vxx is insurance...this weak market, more than likely they're gonna' be buying some as we move towards the close
[13:15] {nemo} given the time...seemed about right
[13:16] {nemo} look at the indexes also
[13:16] {nemo} double top on iwm finnies having hard time getting back to the high and notice the inverted hammers over the last hour on the spikes in spy...
[13:17] {nemo} Vad....
[13:17] {nemo} should I tell him about the results of the live animal sacrifice?
01[13:17] {@Threei} why not
01[13:17] {@Threei} it's not like we sacrificed any munkies
[13:18] {nemo} and of course, no bunnies
[13:18] {nemo} the trick is making sure you get the blood in between the keys
[13:19] {nemo} of course, causes issues later, so you have to get a dishwasher safe keyboard
[13:19] {fish_49} Rabbit or monky fine for me

01[14:28] {@Threei} well, I know for the fact that reading my texts delivers much joy to nemo - he still can't believe one can misuse "a" and "the" this severely

Very active day with a lot of trades and nice profits. Stops were there but wins overwhelmed them in both numbers and size. FB behaved, so did GLD, and C, and a lot more.

01[09:10] {@Threei} Greece register growth for first time in 52 months
01[09:10] {@Threei} eeck
[09:11] {Les} let me guess, new accountant doing the stats
01[09:11] {@Threei} that was my first guess
01[09:11] {@Threei} and second
[09:12] {Les} you can fool the people some of the time
01[09:12] {@Threei} next paragraph:
01[09:12] {@Threei} German Fin Min Schaeuble reiterates view that more aid for Greece is possible
01[09:12] {@Threei} heh
[09:12] {Les} ah some clarity
[09:13] {Les} like Stalinist soap opera
[09:15] {fish_49} if they are showing growth then why would they need more Aid
01[09:17] {@Threei} well... after all, it was an accountant with strong creative side who coined a phrase "negative growth"
01[09:17] {@Threei} maybe that's it
[09:20] {Les} lot of negativity in this room
01[09:22] {@Threei} kidding? we are nothing if not a rose petal on the gentle wave lapping at the shore of serenity... especially nemo
[09:22] {Les} I think the following Colonel sums up Schaeuble nicely:

01[10:05] {@Threei} we have 4 winning trades in a row
[10:06] {fish_49} yea I had a stop limit entry at .35 and didnt get it in time
[10:06] {fish_49} user error on the montage
01[10:06] {@Threei} .35 is wrong number, yes
[10:06] {fish_49} so was .37
[10:06] {thomcbell} akam
[10:07] {fish_49} had trigger at .37 limit at .35
[10:07] {munky} dont use that style to get in fish
01[10:07] {@Threei} ah I see, other way around
[10:07] {fish_49} your using market orders?
01[10:07] {@Threei} no
01[10:07] {@Threei} just manual limit
01[10:07] {@Threei} buy at .37
[10:07] {munky} just load ur price ahead of call, say .35 and hit buy
01[10:07] {@Threei} that's it
[10:08] {munky} when it gets there
01[10:08] {@Threei} .35 broken, hit buy
01[10:08] {@Threei} pr use hover
01[10:08] {@Threei} or
01[10:08] {@Threei} but don't mess with these autotriggers
[10:08] {munky} also, use arcal
01[10:08] {@Threei} they take more time
[10:08] {fish_49} yea I will try that I prefer stop limit orders when there is time but I can see in morning that is not an option
[10:08] {munky} best executions
[10:08] {fish_49} yep
[10:09] {fish_49} I will create a macro to load the screen appropriately
01[10:09] {@Threei} and I hate all those auto orders anyway
[10:09] {fish_49} lol
01[10:09] {@Threei} any out of bounds print will set them off
01[10:09] {@Threei} why do you need this headache?
[10:09] {fish_49} I gave up on auto stop loss
[10:09] {munky} auto orders are good for stops on slower stox, but not entries
01[10:10] {@Threei} yup
01[10:10] {@Threei} and even then they have severe limitations
01[10:10] {@Threei} they are better than nothing if you must leave your computer

[11:59] {fish_49} then later used a hot key to scale out all but 1/4 of my position
[12:00] {fish_49} I want to see if the stop loss order is wise enough to calculate new position or will it sell 1/4 and go short the other 3/4's

[13:36] {nemo} it doesn't compare the time of your order versus the time of the orders in the LII
[13:36] {nemo} which would happen if you were live

[14:38] {nemo} {fish_49} PCLN looks short
01[14:38] {@Threei} making money is no joking matter, ya know
[14:38] {nemo} {fish_49) BRKA looks short
[14:39] {fish_49} I think it was lost in translation
[14:40] {nemo} what?
01[14:40] {@Threei} out last piece on a trail
[14:40] {nemo} nobody want to trade 4 and 6 digit stocks?
[14:40] {fish_49} I took it on your call Nemo but I only grabbed half lot

[14:41] {nemo} hehehehehe
[14:41] {fish_49} trades in increments of 4 dollars
[14:41] {fish_49} lol
[14:41] {nemo} yeah, I don't even like bringing it up on the montage lest I hit the wrong key combination
[14:42] {fish_49} ohhh good point
[14:42] {nemo} sheesh...remember when I was on Takion
[14:42] {nemo} keys only
[14:42] {nemo} didn't even think I was in a montage, next thing I know I shorted 1000 shares of aapl and didn't know it
01[14:42] {@Threei} they are too risky even to papertrade
[14:43] {nemo} then there was some relatively illiquid stock I got short in the premarket by accident....that was fun
[14:43] {fish_49} yikes
[14:43] {fish_49} awhile ago, I let CC7 know my account was funded
[14:44] {munky} getting caught in a halt is alot of laughs....not
[14:44] {nemo} oh yeah, and no sound keys...you look down at the order and position windows and your asshole locks shut
[14:44] {fish_49} he says It dont work like that we will let you know when its ready lol
[14:44] {fish_49} I replied Ohhh Are you going to share your earnings I mean the earnings you make on my money? I dont think they have such a sense of humor
[14:44] {fish_49} lol
[14:45] {nemo} yeah, funny....didn't do #2 for a week
[14:46] {fish_49} Nemo that is why when I teach OSO and OCO orders I tell students to make sure the oreders are GTC
[14:47] {fish_49} they place a DAY OSO/OCO order thinking they have a stop in place on a swing position only to wake up to a nice fat red P/L column
[14:47] {nemo} well, they then need a liquidate on close order
[14:49] {nemo} be interesting to see if we get short covering nearer the close
[14:49] {fish_49} my bet is yes
[14:49] {nemo} watch the vix too...
[14:50] {nemo} that'll tell how much fear there is going into the overnight
[14:50] {munky} anyone here allowed the imbalances?
[14:51] {fish_49} imbalance in supply and demand?
[14:51] {fish_49} explain
[14:51] {munky} coming into closing, the market makers have to matchg up the buys and sells
[14:51] {fish_49} ahhhhh
[14:52] {nemo} I'll hear it and let you know

01[09:10] {@Threei} Greece register growth for first time in 52 months
01[09:10] {@Threei} eeck
[09:11] {Les} let me guess, new accountant doing the stats
01[09:11] {@Threei} that was my first guess
01[09:11] {@Threei} and second
[09:12] {Les} you can fool the people some of the time
01[09:12] {@Threei} next paragraph:
01[09:12] {@Threei} German Fin Min Schaeuble reiterates view that more aid for Greece is possible
01[09:12] {@Threei} heh
[09:12] {Les} ah some clarity
[09:13] {Les} like Stalinist soap opera
[09:15] {fish_49} if they are showing growth then why would they need more Aid
01[09:17] {@Threei} well... after all, it was an accountant with strong creative side who coined a phrase "negative growth"
01[09:17] {@Threei} maybe that's it
[09:20] {Les} lot of negativity in this room
01[09:22] {@Threei} kidding? we are nothing if not a rose petal on the gentle wave lapping at the shore of serenity... especially nemo
[09:22] {Les} I think the following Colonel sums up Schaeuble nicely:
[09:22] {Les} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMEViYvojtY

01[10:05] {@Threei} we have 4 winning trades in a row
[10:06] {fish_49} yea I had a stop limit entry at .35 and didnt get it in time
[10:06] {fish_49} user error on the montage
01[10:06] {@Threei} .35 is wrong number, yes
[10:06] {fish_49} so was .37
[10:06] {thomcbell} akam
[10:07] {fish_49} had trigger at .37 limit at .35
[10:07] {munky} dont use that style to get in fish
01[10:07] {@Threei} ah I see, other way around
[10:07] {fish_49} your using market orders?
01[10:07] {@Threei} no
01[10:07] {@Threei} just manual limit
01[10:07] {@Threei} buy at .37
[10:07] {munky} just load ur price ahead of call, say .35 and hit buy
01[10:07] {@Threei} that's it
[10:08] {munky} when it gets there
01[10:08] {@Threei} .35 broken, hit buy
01[10:08] {@Threei} pr use hover
01[10:08] {@Threei} or
01[10:08] {@Threei} but don't mess with these autotriggers
[10:08] {munky} also, use arcal
01[10:08] {@Threei} they take more time
[10:08] {fish_49} yea I will try that I prefer stop limit orders when there is time but I can see in morning that is not an option
[10:08] {munky} best executions
[10:08] {fish_49} yep
[10:09] {fish_49} I will create a macro to load the screen appropriately
01[10:09] {@Threei} and I hate all those auto orders anyway
[10:09] {fish_49} lol
01[10:09] {@Threei} any out of bounds print will set them off
01[10:09] {@Threei} why do you need this headache?
[10:09] {fish_49} I gave up on auto stop loss
[10:09] {munky} auto orders are good for stops on slower stox, but not entries
01[10:10] {@Threei} yup
01[10:10] {@Threei} and even then they have severe limitations
01[10:10] {@Threei} they are better than nothing if you must leave your computer

Market Week Wrap-up
TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: As January Goes...
- Global equity
markets saw even more turbulence this week, although the equity declines were
more muted overall. The final week of January saw the Federal Reserve taper
asset purchases for a second consecutive meeting, reducing the pace of monthly
buys by $10 billion to $65 billion, split equally between US treasuries and
MBS. There was little change in the Fed's language and no press conference, but
the absence of any commentary on the emerging market currency rout was
unsettling for some. Three of the "fragile five" nations (Brazil,
India, Indonesia, Turkey, and South Africa) raised interest rates in an attempt
to stem capital flight and bolster currencies, but the sense is that the
emerging market situation will only be getting worse. US GDP and inflation data
were pretty solid, while European unemployment and inflation data was anything
but, which pummeled the euro and drove key UST-Bund spreads to their widest
levels in six months. For the week, the DJIA dropped 1.1%, the S&P500 lost
0.4% and the Nasdaq declined 0.6%, leaving all three major indices down low-single
digit percentages for the opening month of 2014.
- US advance fourth quarter GDP met expectations at +3.2% and the personal consumption expenditures component hit its highest growth rate since 2010. Recall that the Q3 final GDP figure was +4.1%; the Commerce Department said that the deceleration reflected lower nonresidential investment, a larger decrease in federal spending and weaker PCE and exports. It was estimated that the government shutdown subtracted 0.3% from the Q4 headline GDP growth, while Federal spending fell 12.6% y/y in the quarter, pushing total government spending down 4.9% y/y. Some analysts speculated that in the absence of Federal austerity measures, GDP would have been above 4%.
- The Fed's favored measure of inflation inched higher in December. The core PCE price index rose 0.1% from a month earlier, bringing the y/y core inflation rate to 1.2% from 1.1%. The core measure remains well short of the Fed's 2.0% inflation target. Contrast the US data with the Eurozone flash January CPI reading: headline inflation was 0.7%, matching the four-year low seen in October. The German state CPIs for January all sank lower. The ECB has vocally dismissed arguments that Europe is facing deflation, however the bank cut rates by 25 bps to 0.25% in the wake of the October CPI report. The next ECB rate decision will be on Thursday, and many analysts are now forecasting another 15-20 bps rate cut. Recall that after the bank's last decision, President Draghi stated two contingencies would force the ECB to act: a worsening inflation outlook or unwarranted money market tightening. In the wake of the two inflation reports, the US-German 2-year spread hit six-month highs, at a little more than 26 bps. EUR/USD dropped below the 1.3500 level for the first time in two months.
- Three emerging market central banks boosted interest rates this week in attempts to grapple with the volatility seen in currency markets. India hiked its base rate by 25 bps to 8.00%, Turkey raised its overnight lending rate by a huge 425 bps to 12.00% and the South Africa Central Bank raised its key rate by 50 bps to 5.50%. The moves have limited the decay of the three nations' currencies for now, but they have hardly reversed the ugly trend. USD/INR remains just shy of the 63.5 high seen before the decision. The Turkish Lira had spiked to a fresh all-time low of nearly 2.40 to the dollar and dropped to 2.16 after the decision, but weakened back to the 2.25 area in the second half of the week. The South Africa Rand got close to all-time lows, hitting 11.36 to the greenback before the decision, and has only strengthened slightly after the rate hike.
- Industrial names Boeing, Ford, and Caterpillar offered decent but not excellent results for the December quarter. Cat's Q4 earnings and revenue totals widely topped expectations, with profits higher y/y but revenue down 10% from last year's Q4. The firm's initial FY14 earnings outlook was also very good, although executives cautioned that the mining industry would remain weak in the near term. At first glance, Ford's earnings crushed the consensus view, but before a big tax benefit profits fell nearly 25% y/y. Likewise Boeing's EPS blew out expectations, but only because of a very low corporate tax rate. Ford warned that the launch of a big range of new models, including the new aluminum body F-150, would hold back North America earnings in FY14. Boeing's guidance for commercial deliveries around 715-725 planes indicates another year of growth for the firm.
- Revenue and weak production figures were the main focus in earnings out of Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon. Conoco's fourth quarter revenue declined 15% y/y, Exxon's fell 3% y/y while Conoco's declined 7%, and all three firms missed expectations. Profits were better, although COP's earnings were bolstered by asset sales and Chevron's fell by more than 30% y/y. The firms saw production fall Q4 and offered anemic production growth forecasts for 2014. In other sector news, the State Department's long-awaited statement on the stalled Keystone XL pipeline said it would have only a limited environmental and climate impact, removing one more roadblock for the project.
- Shares of Apple are down about 10% in the wake of Cupertino's Q4 report, thanks to perceptions that the company's iPhone business is leveling off. Apple sold 51 million iPhones in the quarter, +6.7% y/y, missing analyst expectations of 55-57 million. Executives hinted the low growth was due to a contraction in North American sales, but also highlighted rest-of-world sales up by double or even triple digits. Carl Icahn took the opportunity to buy the dip, acquiring another $500 million of the company's shares.
- After several quarters of tiny or zero profits, Amazon earned $510M in its fourth quarter on pretty decent margins, but its headline EPS and revenue figures missed tough consensus expectations. After running up 5% on Thursday in anticipation of the earnings release, the online retailer's shares dropped over 10% on Friday. Facebook's EPS and revenue saw very good y/y growth and beat estimates. Advertising revenue grew a whopping 76% y/y to $2.34B, while mobile users increased nearly 40% y/y, accomplishing the key goals laid out by both management and the analyst community. Google more or less met revenue expectations in its fourth quarter, on a solid 31% increase in paid clicks, but profits were a bit short. The day before reporting, Google agreed to sell the Motorola Mobility device business to Lenovo for $2.6B in cash and Lenovo stock (back in 2012, the company paid $12.5 billion for Motorola). Lenovo gets the Motorola brand, its portfolio of devices (Moto X and Moto G) and some patent assets. Google will hold on most of the patents it has extracted from the company.
- Walmart cut its Q4 and FY14 guidance to "slightly below" the low end of its prior ranges. The firm's outlook for Q4 SSS was bumped lower to slightly negative from flat. The retailer blamed cold, heavy winter storms and a steeper-than-expected impact from the reduction in certain welfare payments (namely SNAP, the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
- In China, an unnamed investor stepped in to save ICBC's China Credit Trust Co. unit from defaulting on its high-yield "Credit Equals Gold" fund. The mysterious rescue prevented what could have been a very bad moment for China's creaking financial system but many commentators drew parallels to the rescue of Bear Sterns in early 2008, a precipitating moment in the Great Recession.
- There was contrasting January manufacturing PMI data out of China and Japan. In Japan, the Markit/JMMA report hit 56.6, the highest reading in the series since February 2006. The upcoming sales tax hike was a key factor driving the recent gains, as customers ordered early to avoid higher tariffs, but analysts suggest the continued expansion of employment indicates the depth of the upturn. The China HSBC/Markit manufacturing PMI entered contraction for the first time in six months, and the employment component showed the fastest rate of job losses since early 2009. The official Chinese government manufacturing PMI reading is due out Friday night (20:00ET), and could be an early indicator for next week's market action. The Yen ended the week around 102.2, more or less flat, after a brief run up to 103.4 mid-week.
- US advance fourth quarter GDP met expectations at +3.2% and the personal consumption expenditures component hit its highest growth rate since 2010. Recall that the Q3 final GDP figure was +4.1%; the Commerce Department said that the deceleration reflected lower nonresidential investment, a larger decrease in federal spending and weaker PCE and exports. It was estimated that the government shutdown subtracted 0.3% from the Q4 headline GDP growth, while Federal spending fell 12.6% y/y in the quarter, pushing total government spending down 4.9% y/y.

Jan 31 2014
Quite amazing trading day actually. Started out very slow and looked dead for a while, with tiny profit and no activity. The trades started trickling in, making day brigther and brighter and finally amassed to solidly profitable day. Among others, 1:3ers on YHOO and near end of day C were especially nice - slow enough to be easy to execute and fast enough not to test our patience. Very good end to a very good week.

01[12:19] {@Threei} if nemo is half right, that's the play

Jan 30 2014
Another strong day with trades coming in from all walks in all directions. Just right market activity - volatile enough to give us room for profit but not as much as to make risk too difficult to control. Along with faster plays like FB and CAT there were nicely paced ones like SLW, FCX, GLD etc, wotking for nice and easy 1:2 and 1:3 and more.
