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!

Session Time: Tue Dec 31 00:00:00 2013

[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

[11:01] {nemo} that's a tad nippy
[11:01] {dino} emes sm s .63 gappy/thin
[11:02] {thomcbell} is today an early close?
01[11:02] {@Threei}  no
[11:03] {thomcbell} tu
[11:03] {RonS} trla into a gap
[11:04] {RonS} really it's a volumje pocket to $42
[11:05] {+cc_9} UNXL, god damn it...
[11:06] {thomcbell} fb 54.55 break if holding 0.45 vad?
[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
[11:22] {dino} out kmx .08, +.23
[11:24] {thomcbell} tu Vad et al
01[11:24] {@Threei}  you guys... why, why had you had to invent this weird language:

[12:10] {+cc_9} the statement "we care deeply about our custmers' privacy and security" is laughable
[12:10] {nemo} yes
[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[12:11] {@Threei}  double facepalm: http://goo.gl/BJ7Ymg

[12:15] {dino} nanny-state ny. shame, it was a cool state for while
01[12:16] {@Threei}  ok, sugary drinks, fast food... at least I can see the idea

01[12:26] {@Threei}  took me a good while to get it
[12:28] {nemo} yeah, I haven't figured it out
01[12:28] {@Threei}  whole start trek mythology thing,
01[12:29] {@Threei}  per fan observations, red shirts were a surefire sign of a characters being destined for a cull
[12:29] {nemo} well, they were the security officers
01[12:29] {@Threei}  probably started as accident, but when fans started buzzing about it, writers went along
[12:30] {dino} qdel hod
[12:30] {RonS} lol...buzzing...during the '60's
01[12:31] {@Threei}  it's not like people didn't communicate before internet {G}

[12:33] {+cc_9} Lets call it now
[12:33] {+cc_9} EOD crash profit taking
[12:33] {+cc_9} or EOD upward bid paint

[12:33] {nemo} coin flip, or do you have reason
[12:34] {dino} of course where i stand is a function of where i sit
[12:34] {nemo} Doug Kass had an interesting tweet a coupla minutes ago:  With bonds down big in Dec and year and stocks up big - interesting to see if there is  allocation trade at end of day of stocks into bonds
[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
[12:40] {+cc_9} NQ catching bids
01[12:40] {@Threei}  get stubborn and insist that you are right till bitter end... well
[12:40] {+cc_9} SPY helluva headfake
01[12:41] {@Threei}  even if you think gold is protection against zombie apocalypse... do not hold it from 1950 down to 1200
[12:41] {+cc_9} like when i get in a stock, it crashes and i pound the table buying 10x more
[12:42] {+cc_9} SPY fast drop now
[12:42] {+cc_9} surprisingly, AAPL not tanking
01[12:42] {@Threei} Long Setup:  GLD  .50 break

01[12:45] {@Threei}  first stop today
[12:45] {nemo} spy coming into price support and vwap
[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
[13:12] {+cc_9} http://www.meh.ro/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/meh.ro11218.jpg
[13:13] {nemo} that's such a joke, there is barely any smell from them
[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
[13:14] {nemo} couldn't smell anything
01[13:14] {@Threei}  yup, I just started with it back then, had it for a bout a week
01[13:15] {@Threei}  haven't had real one since second day after getting it,
01[13:15] {@Threei}  3 months later I didn't need even that
01[13:15] {@Threei}  happened by itself
[13:15] {nemo} yeah, then it was just getting used to feeling healthier
01[13:17] {@Threei}  so... with that experience, mirrored by a few people I recommended it to, I can't think of people banning it anything but "frikin idiots"
[13:17] {+cc_9} VXX is telling a little story here
[13:17] {nemo} insurance into the close or an adumbrade
[13:18] {nemo} adumbrate
[13:20] {+cc_9} IWM trying to catch some bids, SPY not yet

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.
[09:18] {nemo} Knuckles

01[09:21] {@Threei}  no... this week is still this sloooow thin boring swamp
01[09:26] {@Threei}  looking at FB for the opening play
[09:28] {+cc_9} TWTR vol once cracks $60.00
[09:28] {+cc_9} TWTR will get a dead cat bounce off $60.00 "round number"
[09:28] {+cc_9} breaking news : bell opens in less than 60 seconds
[09:28] {thomcbell} wuba very extended
[09:28] {nemo} yeah, starts dropping into the support morass there
[09:29] {nemo} wuba gooba with the green teeth
[09:29] {nemo} now that's dating myself
01[09:30] {@Threei}  ugh... FB broke down with no chance for a setup
01[09:30] {@Threei}  maybe bounces for short
[09:30] {+cc_9} long TWTR small here 59.50 for dead kitty bounce to 61
[09:30] {+cc_9} before crashathon

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market UpdateSanta 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.

01[10:00] {&Threei}  no, it's not
01[10:00] {&Threei}  so?

01[10:40] {&Threei}  simpliefied Jesse?
01[10:41] {&Threei}  btw, at the time of its translation and publishing, I didn't realize thewre were two chinese languages
[10:41] {+cc_9} VXX human growth hormone move

[10:53] {Will49} lol cc
[10:54] {Will49} one more like that and Ron will let you into the club
[10:55] {nemo} btw..gild is on the algo weak side, and very weak
[10:56] {+cc_9} why don't you short it nemo ?
[10:56] {nemo} if there is a long play, only to vwap
[10:56] {nemo} it's in no man's land right now to me cc
[10:56] {+cc_9} from a scale of 0 - 17
[10:56] {+cc_9} how would you rate the accuracy of your algo nemo
[10:56] {nemo} 0-17?
[10:57] {+cc_9} yes
[10:57] {nemo} that's an interesting scale
[10:57] {nemo} I would say 14
[10:57] {+cc_9} ok
[10:57] {nemo} It measures bid/offer persistence
[10:58] {nemo} when stocks shut off on either side that means the pressure in whichever direction it was, has waned
[10:58] {+cc_9} ill go full contrarian mode and say GILD is long here to 74.75
[10:58] {nemo} yes...75-.90.  That's exactly my point why I thought if it is a long, that's where it goes...90 is vwap
[10:58] {dino} cuda stopped
[10:58] {RonS} an algo can be accurate and mean something sometimes and mean nothing others...because new algos can go the other way...
[10:59] {nemo} Oh, best action is when a stock switches sides
[10:59] {nemo} Say it's VERY weak, then switches to the strong side-usually indicates it bottomed
[11:00] {+cc_9} i guess you like your stocks like you like your women

[11:01] {+cc_9} Ron is mad and bashing buttcoins because he missed out on mining back in 2009
[11:02] {+cc_9} GILD needs a nice push through .60s
[11:02] {nemo} Here's an interesting situation...mjn on the weak side this morning, but currently has no color, thus no pressure, it can't get above vwap, if it refires, it's a short with a stop above vwap
[11:03] {dino} cuda, last try smr s .58
[11:04] {nemo} The other issue is volume will probably drop off to nothing very soon
[11:05] {nemo} GILD is beginning to shut off on the weak side

[11:12] {nemo} gild not getting any stronger on the algo
[11:13] {Will49} do you bleed if you have ades?

[11:25] {nemo} oops, just the last one
[11:25] {nemo} as you can see Gild never really strengthened
[11:25] {nemo} now, the algo may not pick up a rapid change in volume in a short period of time
[11:29] {dino} out ades .48, +.90
[11:29] {Will49} Healed
[11:30] {+cc_9} As you can see, GILD really got strong
[11:30] {+cc_9} almost .70s
[11:30] {nemo} yes
[11:30] {nemo} color began to drop on algo
[11:30] {+cc_9} the algo is kinda late then
[11:30] {nemo} now if the stock is weak for the day, it'll stop around here
[11:30] {+cc_9} blehblehbleh
[11:30] {+cc_9} algo shmango
[11:30] {+cc_9} buy low sell high
[11:31] {nemo} no, remember what I said, and I'm not trying to equivocate, if you were going to play it long it would be to the .75-90 area, it just wasn't showing strength
[11:31] {+cc_9} yea no
[11:31] {+cc_9} GILD .70s
[11:31] {+cc_9} stop making excuses for HAL9000
[11:31] {nemo} yeah, to me it was in no man's land
[11:31] {+cc_9} 10:58 cc_9 ill go full contrarian mode and say GILD is long here to 74.75
[11:31] {+cc_9} 12/27 : the day cc_9 beat the algo
[11:32] {+cc_9} 12/27 : Never Forget.
[11:32] {+cc_9} Will, hose down nemo for me
[11:32] {Will49} lol
[11:32] {nemo} [10:59] {nemo} yes...75-.90.  That's exactly my point why I thought if it is a long, that's where it goes...90 is vwap
[11:32] {+cc_9} sorry nemo, i cannot read your message, all i see is GILD went up
[11:32] {+cc_9} nemo "maybe it will go up, maybe it will go down, ill tell you guys after it moved"
[11:32] {nemo} God bless ya
[11:33] {+cc_9} That's what stocktwits is for nemo
[11:33] {Will49} ok...you both happy now:)
[11:33] {+cc_9} nemo, im just messing with you
[11:34] {+cc_9} GILD is indeed weak, as it did not bounce as hard as SPY
[11:34] {+cc_9} there, you don't have to hide now
[11:34] {nemo} I realize that cc, but I like when you challenge my thinking anyway:
[11:34] {nemo} [10:56] {nemo} btw..gild is on the algo weak side, and very weak
[11:34] {nemo} [10:57] {+cc_9} why don't you short it nemo ?

[13:14] {nemo} "good nemo"  = oxymoron
[13:15] {nemo} with Europe having such a strong close, you think they tank spy?
[13:16] {Will49} nemo and cc...what's best P2P download service to use?
[13:16] {nemo} vuze
[13:17] {Will49} tks
[13:17] {nemo} imo
[13:17] {Will49} of course
[13:18] {Will49} and it says so on their website too :)
01[13:20] {&Threei}  it doesn't have search built-in though, does it?
[13:21] {nemo} yes, but it's yahoo, however you set it to your default P2P software, and any torrents you download automatically open it
[13:21] {nemo} It has a nice feature also:  "Swarm"  which tracks popular torrents
[13:22] {Will49} looks good, going to try it
01[13:23] {&Threei}  will
[13:23] {Will49} ?
01[13:23] {&Threei}  be careful when installing it, do not click through all the "next" and "I agree" blindly
01[13:23] {&Threei}  it offers a few extrasd in defaults that you do not want
01[13:24] {&Threei}  like search bars etc
[13:24] {Will49} yeah..tks vad
[13:24] {Will49} been burned on that before

01[13:59] {&Threei}  am I the only one who experienced that CPU drag by Skype, and got rid of it completely by killing the supernode mode?
[14:00] {nemo} well, I added that registry entry, but I had never really noticed a drag...When I originally installed it, I think you could choose whether you wanted to be a supernode or not
[14:00] {dino} i don't have skype
[14:02] {nemo} When I look at System Explorer process monitor, I don't ever remember skype being one of the higher drains on my resources
01[14:03] {&Threei}  it's allowed by default, nemo
01[14:03] {&Threei}  unless you install that registry tweak
01[14:03] {&Threei}  it's there for skype to activate if and when they need it
[14:03] {nemo} I understand, as I said, I think I had a choice when I originally installed it
[14:05] {nemo} of course, that was a long time ago before Microsoft bought them
[14:05] {nemo} I think I was using it before Ebay bought them

01[15:39] {&Threei}  (US) Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) Sperling urges Congress to extend jobless benefits that are scheduled to expire tomorrow- President Obama supports the bill to extend benefits proposed by Senator Reed (D-RI) and Senator Heller (R-NV). - Benefits expiry will affect 1.3M individuals. - Reminder: Earlier CNBC's Harwood commented that there was still a chance that Congress could extend unemployment benefits that are set to expire tomorrow, but still most likely fiscally restrained Congress will decide against it.
