That was very interesting day. How often  do you start with 4 stops in a row, and end up nicely profitable? This was exactly what happened. In the first 30-40 min we got stopped and rinsed 4 times; then made 7 winning trades most of which were 1:3ers, and ended up nicely up. Things sometimes go in clusters - stay calm and make good trades.

01[11:20] {Threei}  trading gods relented and took my urgent sacrifice of chicken entrails
[11:20] {goinshort} out FB thanks !!
01[11:20] {Threei}  yw sir
01[11:21] {Threei}  look at intraday...
01[11:21] {Threei}  .90 was clear long trigger,
01[11:21] {Threei}  ascending triangle
01[11:21] {Threei}  but before that, FB tested .97 twice
01[11:22] {Threei}  retreated, then formed this triangle we took now.
01[11:22] {Threei}  What ahppens next is:
01[11:22] {Threei}  triangle break gives it enough power to take that .97, which is nolt really actual resistance,
01[11:22] {Threei}  that would be even nimber right above, 71.
[11:23] {goinshort} I get it !  thanks
01[11:23] {Threei}  Taking round number, which is new high for the day, with momentum created by this triangle break - all the comnponenets in place for a verticla spike
01[11:23] {Threei}  which is exzctly what happened
01[11:24] {Threei}  sheesh... my typing IS atrocious

[11:31] {fish_49} .68
01[11:32] {Threei}  uh

[11:34] {fish_49} hen I called it was moving up  he said current price .66 then he got me out at .68
[11:34] {dino} dltr? misses by .04 andguides lower, +3
[11:34] {fish_49} which was a blessing since I was short 1000 shares it covered my comms

01[11:51] {Threei}  I like this:
01[11:51] {Threei}  Crimean police ordered to prevent clashes at any cost
[11:52] {fish_49} won't that create a clash?
01[11:52] {Threei}  what if cost is the clash?
01[11:52] {Threei}  exactly
[11:53] {fish_49} I pity the police in this situation....
[11:54] {fish_49} They have to follow orders and I'm certain there will be some  that agree with the oposition

01[12:16] {Threei}  1:1 if went with fish idea
[12:16] {dino} esi drop
[12:17] {fish_49} curious why .50  on wmt  not .52?  round number?   looks like range is .52 and .62?
01[12:18] {Threei}  when it's that close to round number, I prefer to use it as more batural support level
01[12:18] {Threei}  natural too
[12:18] {fish_49} ok
[12:19] {nemo} iwm might have to push through to get the 118 stops
01[12:19] {Threei}  most likely such numbers as .52 hold simply because there is huge support right under it, and buyers step up in front of that
01[12:20] {Threei}  but to trigger the trade break of that support is needed
01[12:20] {Threei}  (Yodaspeak)
[12:20] {fish_49} thanks for the explanation Vad.  It makes sense  and gives lil more confirmation
[12:23] {dino} esi gap fill

01[12:58] {Threei}  this is just below the "their-they're"
[12:58] {nemo} no youl
[12:58] {nemo} instead of you'll
[12:58] {nemo} tza working
[12:58] {fish_49} is it then or should that be than?
[12:59] {nemo} entweder oder
[13:00] {nemo} whoa, pretty low spy volume
[13:02] {dino} asps getting serious
[13:02] {nemo} .80ish first bounce point for iwm take some tza there
[13:02] {nemo} then see if it holds under entry
01[13:03] {Threei}  wow FB
[13:03] {fish_49} yea
[13:03] {fish_49} watchoing that Vad
[13:03] {nemo}  if it comes back down through .80 vwap likely target...market has been selling off in the afternoons
01[13:03] {Threei}  WMT baby
[13:04] {fish_49} come on wmt  2 more pennies
01[13:04] {Threei}  believe it or not, with this trade actually positive for the day
01[13:05] {Threei}  finally out of that morning hole
01[13:05] {Threei}  4 stops in a row, sheesh
[13:05] {fish_49} if I were to get out here  I would be positive for day
[13:05] {dino} gj, way to stick to it
[13:05] {fish_49} my limit order in at .33 and didnt get taken out
01[13:05] {Threei}  take half of what you have still fish
[13:06] {fish_49} k
01[13:06] {Threei}  secure some profit
01[13:06] {Threei}  get as close as you can to breakeven or slighly positive,
01[13:06] {Threei}  so even if last portion doresn't work, it's not painful anymore
[13:07] {goinshort} I know what ya mean - I'm $64 from green
01[13:07] {Threei}  there is math of odds theory that dictates the best way to manage the trade,
01[13:07] {Threei}  and there is a human side of all this,
01[13:07] {Threei}  we are not robots,
01[13:07] {Threei}  maintaining emotional balance is important
01[13:08] {Threei}  sometimes suboptimal way from pure math point of vieew is much better,
01[13:08] {Threei}  as it allows us to finction with less stress
01[13:08] {Threei}  function too
[13:08] {fish_49} good point  I have the remaining shares at a limit of .33  lets see if i can get hit
[13:09] {nemo} just stick ur chin out
[13:09] {dino} esi drops again
[13:09] {dino} anfi stopped b/e
01[13:09] {Threei}  there
[13:09] {fish_49} out
[13:09] {fish_49} and  positive territory
01[13:09] {Threei}  out you are as Yoda say would
[13:09] {fish_49} great day after all
[13:10] {dino} couple brutal drops going on, asps, esi
[13:10] {dino} edu
01[13:10] {Threei}  who would have thought in the morning, eh fish?
01[13:10] {Threei}  and you missed 1:3er on FB
[13:10] {fish_49} yea  but  It was a good test of an issue I have resolved  so  It was worth it to me
01[13:11] {Threei}  yup
[13:11] {fish_49} Even with the morning trades  I felt no pain and accepted it
[13:11] {fish_49} that in itself is victory to me
01[13:11] {Threei}  perfect
01[13:11] {Threei}  this is the state you need to cultivate
01[13:12] {Threei}  it's an odds game,
01[13:12] {Threei}  and sometimes odds go in clusters
01[13:12] {Threei}  a few stops here and there, we all accept that
[13:12] {fish_49} yes  and  I had bad feelings towards DAS folks  but that was resloved.  Honestly within 2 rings they answered the call and had me out of the trade within seconds
01[13:12] {Threei}  a few stops grouped together, it causes pain and doubts
[13:13] {fish_49} I have a new outlook towards those folks
01[13:13] {Threei}  I never underatood that bad feeling, honestly
01[13:14] {Threei}  they cater to day traders
01[13:14] {Threei}  as such, they are top league
01[13:14] {Threei}  server co-location, latency is negligible
01[13:14] {Threei}  software is top notch
[13:14] {fish_49} I believe that now
[13:14] {dino} kof and fmx getting crushed last few days
01[13:15] {Threei}  downtime is next to non-existent
01[13:15] {Threei}  and you know what a real test of how robust software is?
01[13:16] {Threei}  it's how it handles extremely high colume rapid trading days during market crash
01[13:16] {Threei}  when usual systems slow down to a crawl
01[13:16] {Threei}  and your orders travel in cyberspace like tortoises in mollasses
[13:16] {fish_49} my bad opinion came from their lack of support or understanding of their own software
[13:17] {fish_49} I figured out the details on my own
[13:17] {fish_49} but  now that I have confidence in their response at the trade desk  I am fine
01[13:17] {Threei}  you always run into someone in front line of support who knows a b and c, and haven't even heard of d...
[13:17] {nemo} yeah, tech support desks tend to have multiple levels
[13:18] {nemo} you get the grunts at first
[13:18] {dino} damn, missed asps and esi bottoms
01[13:18] {Threei}  I mean this is still good ole USA, the country in which salesman in central NY store when asked if they ship to Canada told me "sorry, we don't ship ioverseas"
01[13:18] {Threei}  1:2  WMT
[13:18] {fish_49} yea  level 1 was CC9  his response to my questions were  "Well why do you need that"
01[13:20] {Threei}  gs, you are breakeven now?
[13:20] {fish_49} hahahah  Overseas?  well the Great Lakes  are large Vad might as well be a sea  lol
[13:20] {goinshort} no  not yet
[13:20] {nemo} they have tides
01[13:21] {Threei}  yeah... when I suggested him to look up Canada on the map and find the sea between us, he wasn't amused
[13:21] {fish_49} I grew up on Lake Erie at a time when it caught fire in some places  lol
[13:21] {dino} gas?
[13:21] {fish_49} He didn't hang up on you?
01[13:22] {Threei}  no... we spoke of $1,700 camera, mind you
[13:22] {fish_49} no  not gas  pollution  debris, just general junk
[13:22] {fish_49} the lake really wasn't cleaned up until Nuc power came into play
[13:23] {dino} asps, ocn lods
[13:23] {fish_49} Lake Erie  is a clean lake now  compared to late 70's  and early 80's
[13:23] {fish_49} Welcome back Natan

01[13:25] {Threei}  nemo is so upset about not having a buddy for his satanic cult, he has suffocated the serpent with his bare hands
[13:25] {nemo} maybe he was drunk
[13:25] {nemo} Xcuse me
[13:26] {fish_49} Nathan  I'm happy your not Satan.  we can only have one satan in the room and we  all know who that is  right Nemo?

[13:30] {nemo} guess Ron made a funny...
01[13:31] {Threei}  nemo's right on this one, however painful it is to admit... "shaitan" is a word in middle asia languages, from republics of xUSSR
01[13:31] {Threei}  haven't heard it in ages, just remembered when he typed that
[13:32] {nemo} Yeah, that side of the spirtual fauna is my bailiwick
[13:32] {fish_49} [13:31] {Threei}  nemo's right on this one,  even Vad admits Nemo is wrong most of the time
[13:33] {nemo} o.k. if the market gonna' drop the shorts should be forming now
[13:33] {fish_49} still range bound
[13:33] {nemo} That's a helluva' assumption for being such a noob here fishface
[13:34] {fish_49} assumption?
[13:34] {nemo} assertion
[13:34] {nemo} you're making an assumption which led to a written assertion
[13:34] {fish_49} you know what they say about assumptions and assertions
[13:35] {dino} asps vsm l .60

[13:39] {nemo} not to be confused with trout
[13:39] {nemo} doesn't matter
[13:40] {nemo} you're looking for rationality in an irrational process
[13:40] {nemo} the market is a woman

[14:03] {nathan} di you jump into FB?
01[14:04] {Threei}  no
[14:04] {fish_49} could bounce here
01[14:04] {Threei}  just no clear setup
01[14:11] {Threei}  grrrr
01[14:11] {Threei}  one that got away
01[14:11] {Threei}  right idea, haven't found the setup
01[14:13] {Threei}  Federal court orders Google to take down YouTube anti-Muslim video 'Innocence of Muslims'
01[14:13] {Threei}  really?
01[14:13] {Threei}  we are takign down offensive things now?
[14:13] {fish_49} huh?
[14:13] {fish_49} OMG
[14:14] {fish_49} are they going to say it will be the cause of another benghazi?
01[14:14] {Threei}  I demand taking down Inconvenient Truth, it offends me deeply as it does away with reality and insults any sane person intelligence
[14:15] {RonS} dems mountin full frontal war on free speech...someone needs to find a new Lenny Bruce...
01[14:15] {Threei}  that's OK, we can all convert to turkish lira and immigrate to Ukraine
01[14:15] {Threei}  oh wait...
[14:16] {nathan} what's going on in FB?
01[14:16] {Threei}  no news
[14:17] {nathan} are the going to buy Microsoft paint?
01[14:17] {Threei}  lol
01[14:17] {Threei}  (US) Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Camp (R-MI) releases details of his tax simplification plan- As previously reported the plan cuts US income tax brackets to only two (10% and 25%), phased in over five years. This would be offset by eliminating numerous and varied tax breaks that have been added into the tax code over decades. - The Camp tax plan is not expected to get much traction in Washington, but could serve as a starting point for future efforts on tax reform and simplification.
[14:18] {nemo} senate already told him to pound sand
01[14:18] {Threei}  almost bounce time, FB
[14:18] {nathan} will break the 69? :-)
01[14:19] {Threei}  I think so
[14:19] {dino} pega sm l .00
[14:19] {nemo} frickin' twtr, dropped .80 like a double diamond slope
01[14:19] {Threei} Long Setup:  FB  69 break
01[14:19] {Threei}  If holds  .90
01[14:19] {Threei}  risky one
01[14:19] {Threei}  but all bottom fishing is
01[14:19] {Threei}  1:1
01[14:20] {Threei}  1:2
01[14:21] {Threei}  man... positive for the day
[14:21] {fish_49} I missed it  but have a question
01[14:21] {Threei}  two huge clusters, losing one in the morning, winning one after that
01[14:21] {Threei}  rare occurence
01[14:21] {Threei}  normally they are mixed more evenly
01[14:22] {Threei}  why missed? it wasn't particularly fast on a break
01[14:22] {Threei}  1:3
01[14:22] {Threei}  and returned to .01
[14:25] {fish_49} Vad  so the pop up was on decreased volume  would that be an indication of a continuation down ?
01[14:26] {Threei}  why decreased? 14:20 candle is quite nice volume
[14:26] {fish_49} yes
[14:26] {fish_49} then after that on a 3 min  i see very lil vol
01[14:26] {Threei}  even karger than 14:15, largest red one up tio that point
[14:27] {fish_49} Obviously I'm wrong  it continues up
01[14:27] {Threei}  trade in progress already by that time, just manage it
01[14:27] {Threei}  standard operating procedure kicks in
[14:28] {fish_49} yea  I was  not asking about that  just tring  to learn about volume
01[14:28] {Threei}  volume is still larger on green candles than on red ones after bottoming
01[14:28] {Threei}  compare them between themselves to see how forces are distributed now
01[14:30] {Threei}  you can also view it this way:
01[14:30] {Threei}  decline after 14:15 was on decreasing volume,
01[14:30] {Threei}  which indicated sellers running out of gas
01[14:30] {Threei}  let see if this is double bottom
01[14:31] {Threei}  crap, late
01[14:31] {Threei}  too fast
01[14:31] {Threei} Long Setup:  WMT  .40 break
01[14:32] {Threei}  If holds  .34
01[14:33] {Threei}  ugh... such nice db setup

[15:17] {fish_49} mistake?
01[15:17] {Threei}  yes
01[15:17] {Threei}  you think
01[15:17] {Threei}  I don't
01[15:17] {Threei}  or at least, I think twice before thinking
[15:17] {fish_49} being up $180 dollars on a day like today I don't think was a mistake
[15:18] {fish_49} ok  I will try not to think
01[15:18] {Threei}  and if you got thosde 2 1:3ers on FB...
01[15:18] {Threei}  you will find it very liberating
[15:19] {fish_49} ohhh  if I caught that  i would be on top of the world
01[15:19] {Threei}  I have to think only when I have to explain the decision-making
[15:19] {fish_49} I'm actually proud of myself  taking TWTR shjort at .80 and getting .30 cents on the short and calling the bounce
01[15:19] {Threei}  good job
[15:20] {fish_49} your paid  to think I get paid  to follow your advice  lol
01[15:20] {Threei}  I don't believe I will be very far from truth when say" process of learning to trade in larger part isd a process of un-learning to think
[15:20] {fish_49} only 10 shares  on TWTR  just trying it as a confidence booster
[15:21] {fish_49} ok  let me show you the volume issue I was asking about  with FB  b4
[15:21] {_philipswich} thanks a lot Vad, got to go now. Bye all
01[15:21] {Threei}  yw phulup, see you tomorrow
01[15:21] {Threei}  philip
01[15:21] {Threei}  my typing, sheesh
[15:21] {fish_49} laters Philipo
[15:21] {fish_49} Philip
[15:21] {fish_49} me too
[15:24] {fish_49} http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/bkhmd/media/FBvol_zpsc13163a6.jpg.html
[15:24] {fish_49} this is what I was talking about  earlier
01[15:25] {Threei}  well, on a big scheme of things, look at FB
01[15:25] {Threei}  it was a lousy bounce
[15:25] {fish_49} On a 3 min chart  I watched price rise .40 cents  but  volume was decreased  significantly and my instinct was to get short which would have paid off on a scalp
01[15:26] {Threei}  and it retreated under 69 twice since then and it reatreats now again
[15:26] {fish_49} yep
01[15:26] {Threei}  another matter is, for our purposes the scale of themove was such that even that lousy bounce provided us with quite enough room to profit
01[15:27] {Threei}  (UR) US Sec State Kerry: US is considering plan to offer Ukraine $1.0B in loan guarantees plus further direct financial aid- Russian military moves against Ukraine would be a very grave, costly mistake
01[15:28] {Threei}  Kerry... Putin plays chess, you barely learned how to put checkers on the board
01[15:28] {Threei}  let alone actuaklly play them
[15:28] {fish_49} I don't trust Kerry
[15:28] {fish_49} Does he come from Mass?
[15:28] {RonS} ketchup
[15:29] {fish_49} who else do we know that is in Mass?
[15:29] {nemo} yeah, and basically works in the middle of Maryland
[15:29] {fish_49} and who else do we know that came from Maryland  but lives in Mass now?
[15:29] {fish_49} lol
[15:29] {fish_49} Checkmate I win Toad
[15:30] {nemo} he doesn't live in MA, just a mailing address
[15:36] {nemo} Are you insinuating I came from Maryland?
[15:37] {fish_49} not at all
[15:37] {nemo} good
[15:40] {thomcbell} jcp very impressive squeezing
[15:44] {fish_49} Thom  do you trade JCP?
[15:45] {thomcbell} no
[15:46] {thomcbell} i prefer 20 and above price
[15:47] {thomcbell} probably a good scalp short here
[15:47] {thomcbell} but not doing it
[15:47] {dino} do it tbell, we all did
01[15:51] {Threei}  OK guys, thank you all
01[15:51] {Threei}  have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[15:53] {darekj} good night all

Not very exciting but positive day - kind of "another day in the office." Not much happened so finding trades was a bit more challenging - but those we did find worked out.



Session Time: Thu Feb 27 00:00:00 2014
[03:02] {jman} hello
[08:49] {munky} morning
[08:49] {fish_49} gm
01[08:49] {@Threei}  morning munky, fish
[08:49] {nemo} http://goo.gl/Cu1KSo
[08:50] {fish_49} gm all
[08:54] {fish_49} thanks for sharing that Nemo
[08:59] {nemo} sure
[09:02] {dino} gm
01[09:02] {@Threei}  wow... Ukraine situation seriously deteriorated overnight
01[09:02] {@Threei}  dino :)
[09:02] {fish_49} In my humble opinion  you can see that with an ERC (Extended Range Candle)  the Algo thing is over rated...  The extended range candle to me indicates the public caught on to institutional buying or selling. The question is, Did people like Carl get all his shares before the public caught on and moved the price.  If he didn't  then we would expect a bounce at the base of the ERC
[09:03] {fish_49} when price returns
[09:04] {fish_49} you know me  I have to comment on everything  lol
[09:04] {nemo} http://goo.gl/EepziX
[09:06] {fish_49} I love Walmart for their  egregiously ruthless business plan
[09:06] {nemo} so says the retired club Fed employee
[09:09] {nemo} I have no problem with productivity, but unfortunately humans (and I use that term loosely) are not machines...which means they'll be replaced by machines soon
[09:09] {goinshort} gm all !
01[09:09] {@Threei}  gs :)
[09:10] {nemo} can you guys take these niceties to dcc
[09:10] {nemo} I almost wretch on my keyboard
01[09:10] {@Threei}  isn't that a long standing dream of many utopists nemo?
01[09:10] {@Threei}  machines work
01[09:10] {@Threei}  humans are freed from labor,
01[09:10] {@Threei}  fly freely,
01[09:10] {@Threei}  draw... sing...
[09:10] {nemo} what dream?
01[09:11] {@Threei}  dance
[09:11] {nemo} Oh no, freed, you get me wrong, I'm a DYStopian
01[09:11] {@Threei}  and all that crap
01[09:12] {@Threei}  we just need to maske suree that machine owners spread their wealth around
[09:12] {fish_49} take this stuff to DCC leave the discussions floor to insults as intended
[09:12] {fish_49} your the cousin of Alex  Vad?
01[09:12] {@Threei}  just getting with the program fish
01[09:13] {@Threei}  and guess whose program it is
[09:13] {fish_49} If I was able to reduce my workforce by 50% and give myself a competitive edge and put money in my pocket, I will do it
[09:14] {fish_49} If the people dont like it, dont shop at my store and if the employees dont like it, go get and education and find a better job
[09:14] {darekj} gm all
01[09:14] {@Threei}  darek :)
[09:14] {nemo} spoken like a true federal retiree
[09:14] {nemo} anyway:  http://goo.gl/dfSBEY
[09:14] {nemo} there's another Jeff Gordon prank video about him taking a car for a testdrive
[09:15] {nemo} hilarious
01[09:15] {@Threei}  btw, remember yesterday's threat by Kerry?
[09:15] {nemo} Fish, here's the problem  84% of the population is of average or less than average intelligence...simple, inarguable bell curve distribution
01[09:15] {@Threei}  it turned out unexpectedly effective,
[09:16] {nemo} Unfortunately, they are arguably still human
[09:16] {nemo} Les being the exception of course
[09:16] {nemo} They cannot really do better
[09:16] {nemo} and unfortunately they continue to breed
01[09:16] {@Threei}  it rendered Putin incapable of any action for a day as he suffered sdevere bout of hysterical laughter
[09:16] {nemo} So the question becomes, how do you treat them
[09:17] {fish_49} if they can't do better than accept it and work at walmart and shut up  thats my take.
[09:17] {fish_49} if I were a smarter person and spent the money to attend Med school, I could be a brain surgeon
[09:17] {fish_49} since I didn't  I hae to accept my position in life
[09:17] {nemo} Ahh, so we treat them like machines, or beasts of burden
[09:17] {nemo} that's what they deserve
[09:18] {fish_49} nope  not at all
[09:18] {nemo} You have to accept the limitations of your life
[09:18] {fish_49} thats the job they deserve
01[09:18] {@Threei}  nemo, worse yet - they constitute significant part of purchasing power, so replacing them with machines and not giving them anything in return creates self-defeating system
[09:18] {nemo} ahhh
[09:18] {fish_49} why should I give them more money per hour  when I can find plenty of people to work for the wages I am offering?
[09:18] {nemo} Yes, but it's coming Vad...that's why they tell there employees to sign up for transfer payments from the government
[09:19] {fish_49} Yes Vad  Henry Ford Proved that.
[09:19] {nemo} Fish, I understand what you are saying...I've been studying these issues for 30 years
[09:19] {nemo} You do pay for it Fish, through your taxes
[09:19] {fish_49} there really is no solving it
[09:19] {fish_49} I just hate the Walmart Bashers
01[09:19] {@Threei}  nope, we are doomed
01[09:20] {@Threei}  well, not all of us and not at once
[09:20] {nemo} Because your Walmart products are so cheap, your taxes have to be high enough to pay for the foodstamps, Section 8 housing, and healthcare they can't afford at their jobs
[09:20] {fish_49} so lets pay them more so the cost of goods will increase and diminish our buying power?
[09:21] {fish_49} it's a never endless game
[09:21] {nemo} you missed it fish, you're paying for it anyway
[09:21] {nemo} actually more
[09:21] {fish_49} lets pay the Taco Bell workers 17 bucks an hour
[09:21] {fish_49} I dont have  to pay for it
[09:21] {nemo} think about the bureaucracies that would not be necessary to administer all those transfer payments?
[09:21] {fish_49} the democrats decided  that  for me
[09:21] {nemo} Bullshit
[09:21] {fish_49} stop paying the bennies  and see how many people go find work
[09:22] {fish_49} if Immigrants  can make it  why cant they?
[09:22] {nemo} You're not seeing the larger system...I have this discussion with my "liberal" friends all the time
[09:23] {dino} ctrx working on gap fills, next one 44 dec
[09:23] {nemo} They address problems, but don't solve them..and then we find ourselves in Toquevillian Hell
[09:23] {fish_49} I don't mind being called a friend  But I have never been called a Liberal
[09:23] {fish_49} lol
[09:23] {fish_49} ok  later conversation
[09:23] {fish_49} I let you win this one
[09:23] {nemo} Well, you were about to be checkmated
[09:24] {fish_49} I need to make fresh Walmart Coffee before the bell
[09:27] {nemo} Walmart Coffee...sure it's not manure?
[09:28] {fish_49} lol  Later  remind  me  I have a true funny story as to why Walmart fired my elder brother
[09:29] {nemo} oh gawd...I'll refrain
[09:29] {fish_49} manufacturing numbers  gooood

Nonetheless, Fed-watcher Hilsenrath this morning suggests that Yellen is unlikely to change her economic outlook, as the Fed will need to see more convincing evidence that it should be revised.

Positive day ends a week consisting of 5 positive trading sessions. Nice streak to have. Got market reversal right and made a few nice shorts, including two on FB, some bounces on FB and EBAY, etc. EBAY has become quite nice trading vehicle lately.

01[10:30] {@Threei}  btw guys, so I don't forget to impart this nugget of wisdom you may need for the weekend
01[10:30] {@Threei}  Psycologists say hugging 8 people a day lifts your mood significantly. Alterantively, hitting just one in the nose gives statistically equal result.
[10:31] {fish_49} hahahahahahaha

01[10:31] {@Threei}  and it was never hit
[10:32] {fish_49} .21 in this case
[10:33] {fish_49} it's not how I normally trail
[10:33] {fish_49} I usually look for the recent low of a bounce and 1 tick under that
[10:33] {fish_49} in this case actually I would have trailed to .15
[10:33] {fish_49} but  I wanted out
[10:35] {fish_49} I didn't say I was 100% cured of my fear issue..  I said  it's getting much better

[13:33] {mojo1} racks ar-10 
[13:34] {munky} nemo, u work in gunshop?
[13:34] {nemo} yep
[13:35] {fish_49} work and nemo are both 4 letter words
[13:35] {munky} quiz..whats diff betwween ar-10 and ar-15...i know, c if u do
[13:35] {nemo} so isn't fish
[13:35] {nemo} ar-10 is a .308 7.62X51
[13:35] {munky} final answer??
[13:35] {nemo} ar -15 is a .223/5.56 and are civilian models
[13:35] {fish_49} the difference is the pin that makes one 3 round burst instead of 1 round burst?
[13:36] {nemo} actually, the lower is more heavily reinforced in the class-3 models
[13:36] {munky} correct, but u can buy ar-10/308 also
[13:36] {nemo} yes, which is a civilian model
[13:37] {fish_49} both are single round burst right?
[13:37] {nemo} civilians always are, need class-3 to get select fire which comes in semi, select (three round) and automatic
[13:38] {fish_49} but the 15 is easily modified  to give 3 round burst?
[13:38] {nemo} relatively, more complicated than the ak
[13:38] {fish_49} ok
[13:38] {nemo} have to replace the sear
01[13:39] {@Threei}  I hear the sound of Pearce Morgan puking
[13:39] {nemo} as a civilian, I would prefer not to get caught...having said that, select, or automatic is overrated unless you're laying down suppression fire
[13:39] {fish_49} hey I did not follow him  what actually happened?
[13:40] {fish_49} Believe it or not I kinda liked him even though he was a liberal
01[13:40] {@Threei}  nothing really... his disgusting smugness and anti-gun crusade wore off, ratings fell dramatically, and CNN kills his program
[13:41] {fish_49} so now if they get rid of the 360 dude, they will have a program
01[13:41] {@Threei} Short Setup: FB  .90 break
[13:41] {fish_49} so it was ratings?  I heard rumors that he was anti american  and I find that hard to believe.  I guess at some point we all are...

[13:54] {dino} cov aet .44, +.14
[13:55] {nathan} everytime i try to do it i screw up
[13:56] {nemo} when you enter set an order for 1:1
[13:56] {nemo} then set your stop price and wait
[13:56] {nemo} now, you either get 1:1 or hit out if stopped
[13:57] {nathan} that's what i usually do, but when i try to hold "some" time more... 
[13:57] {nathan} then it goes against 
[13:58] {nemo} don't understand your statement
[13:58] {fish_49} thats part of the game Nat
[13:58] {thomcbell} my goodness cbl 1:1

[14:00] {fish_49} I didn't take the trade but was a good learning tool.. Thanks Dino  
[14:00] {nathan} nemo i usually set my 1:1 for all shares
[14:00] {nathan} but not when I try to go for more than 1:1
[14:01] {fish_49} Nat  99% of the time  we are going for more than 1:1
[14:01] {nathan} really?
[14:02] {dino} slxp smr l .56 all over the place
[14:02] {nathan} my 99% are 1:1 :-(
[14:02] {fish_49} Can I explain why you should not do that?  I learned  the hard way
[14:02] {nathan} yes please
[14:03] {nemo} we're not going for anything
[14:04] {nathan} what u mean nemo?
[14:04] {nemo} we take what comes

06[14:08] * @Threei whispers hopefully: porn?
[14:09] {munky} roflol
[14:09] {fish_49} ok  Lets take xyz  short on the break of .50   where are you getting filled?  .48 maybe  or .49 at best.  Where is 1:1?  .40  we sell at .40 (1:1) where are you getting filled?  .39 perhaps?  if you want .40 you will need the bid  to hit .40 which means the ask at .41 at least.  so now do the math.  at best your getting 9 cents right.  a cent or 2 goes to comms and fees,  now you have 7 
[14:09] {fish_49} cents at best.  If your in a trade and get stopped out  your losing at least 9 cents  most likely 10 cents.  so do the math if your right 50% of the time you lose.  You need a few 1:3's  to make your account grow.
[14:09] {fish_49} thats for Nat
[14:09] {nathan} thanks a lot fish!!!!
[14:10] {fish_49} change your to you're
[14:10] {fish_49} b4 nemo has a fit
[14:10] {munky} and id hope we dont lose 50% of time,try to win 2/3 rds
01[14:10] {@Threei}  that's pretty much it - if you take 1:1s only, you have to have awfully high win/lose ratio, like 75-80% to stay profitable
01[14:12] {@Threei} Long Setup:  EBAY  .20 break
01[14:12] {@Threei}  If holds  .14 
01[14:14] {@Threei}  btw, these trades with tight stops help a lot. Their win/lose ratio is not big, they are close to 50/50... but they risk a few cents while win in those same large amounts
01[14:14] {@Threei}  5-6 cents stop, but the 1:1 is still most often near 10 cents
01[14:15] {@Threei}  which is not right from formal math point of view but that's how we manage the trade
[14:15] {munky} agree with that vad
[14:15] {munky} in ebay btw
01[14:16] {@Threei}  1:1  
01[14:16] {@Threei}  I wouldn't count on 1:3 on this one, btw

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market UpdateMarkets Shrug Off Frigid Data and Unraveling Ukraine


Stocks moved sideways early in the week as they consolidated before testing all-time highs. The S&P500 made three runs up to all-time intraday highs on the first three days of the week but closed lower, and finally closed at all-time highs of 1854 on Thursday. The debate on whether or not US growth is flagging rages on: Fourth-quarter US GDP was revised lower, while January durable goods orders were not too bad, with the non-defense, non-transport figures defying expectations for a decline to rise slightly. Retailers offered dismal quarterly numbers but their stocks saw solid gains as traders waxed optimistic about the possibility of strong spring sales (in defiance of generally poor guidance numbers). The events in Ukraine have provided a very dramatic backdrop to trading, culminating with a fresh crisis as Russia appears to be working hard to hold onto Crimea. After peaking around $5.20, the hot air came out of natural gas futures and the contract exited the week around $4.60, in part due to the front month contract roll-over. Meanwhile crude has been rock solid in the $102 handle. The Friday afternoon equity selloff was blamed on month-end pension rebalancing and another flare up in Crimea. For the week, the DJIA rose 1.4%, the S&P500 gained 1.3%, while the Nasdaq added 1%.

In an ironic twist, Fed Chair Yellen talked on Thursday about the economic impact of severe winter weather during Senate testimony that had been delayed by severe winter weather. Yellen said it was as yet unclear to what degree the weather has disrupted the economy but was quite precise on the drag imposed by Congress's fiscal policies, which she said have subtracted 1.5% from growth. Yellen also made it pretty clear that the 6.5% unemployment threshold has been de-emphasized as a key threshold for the economy, but was vague on the indicators the FOMC would be considering moving forward. While other Fed speakers offered supportive commentary that left little doubt that the taper would continue unchanged, there was more uncertainty regarding on how to untangle communications challenges on forward guidance as the Fed considers shifting back to more qualitative guidance.

- On Friday, Fourth-quarter US GDP was revised lower in the second reading to +2.4% from the +3.2% advance reading published a month ago. Analysts see weak consumer spending in the final quarter of 2013 behind the revision lower; the personal consumption component was revised down to +2.6% from +3.3%. After the data, Fed Governor Bullard said the outlook remains pretty favorable for 2014 even if GDP was revised lower, with second half of 2013 GDP still around +3%.

- Just weeks after the FCC's 'net neutrality' rules were struck down, Netflix agreed to pay Comcast for a direct connection to its internet service customers. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it appears that Comcast will connect directly with Netflix - which will mean that CDNs like Level 3 and Limelight Networks will no longer be getting the same fees from Netflix. Verizon said it was working on a very similar deal with Netflix, while there were rumors AT&T has already reached a deal.

- The 2014 Mobile World Congress 2014 took place in Barcelona this week. Nokia unveiled an Android-based smartphone priced at $129 and also unveiled another bare bones smartphone that sells for $67. Ford dropped Microsoft in exchange for BlackBerry to run its Sync in-car communications and entertainment system. Deutsche Telekom said it was developing a secure voice and text app in the wake of the Snowden affair and the Facebook/WhatsApp deal.

- Shares of Tesla gained another 20% this week after the company disclosed that it was massively expanding its battery manufacturing plans with Panasonic. The two companies have agreed to invest up to $5 billion in a plant, "the gigafactory," with a capacity amounting to 30 gigawatts worth of lithium ion batteries a year by 2020. That's enough for 500K vehicles, more than total global production in 2013. Tesla offered $2B in convertible notes this week to fund the venture.



- A long list of major retailers reported fourth quarter results and the numbers were very mixed. With few exceptions, revenue and earnings declined and comps were negative. Macys eked out positive comps while Best Buy saw a big y/y improvement in profits, compared to its formerly collapsing numbers. Target and Kohls had very poor results, while corporate downer Sears Holdings' numbers were epically poor. Late in the week reports suggested Sears may also have been the victim of a data breach like the one that hit Target. Revenue and sales comps held up surprisingly well at Home Depot and Loews, given weakness in housing and tough y/y comps from Sandy last year. Abercrombie & Fitch delivered a surprising EPS beat, Gap was middling and TJX was pretty poor. JC Penny managed to report its first positive sales comp since the second quarter of 2011 and saw a big recovery in margins. Investors looked past the bad news to the possibility of a strong spring selling season after a hard winter and shares of nearly all major retailers saw solid gains on the week.

- Toll Brothers' headline numbers in its first quarter were not terrible, with earnings above expectations and revenue up very strongly on a y/y basis. However the firm's metrics reflected the housing market slowdown seen in data over recent months: orders fell 6%, the first decline in nearly three years. Additionally, Toll trimmed its FY14 homes outlook slightly and said severe winter weather was holding back sales.

- The euro stayed pretty steady for the first half of the week, until the German government failed to sell a full allotment of 30-year bunds Wednesday morning. This was the second uncovered auction in a week after a German 10-year auction was technically uncovered last week. While the declining demand for fixed income instruments is not a new story, the uncovered auction weakened the euro and sent EUR/USD down to 1.3660. The pair broke lower to 1.3640 on Thursday after German state February CPI inflation figures came in pretty weak. Better Eurozone February CPI on Friday sent EUR/USD out to fresh YTD highs, above 1.3800.

- The Chinese Yuan continues to weaken in a dramatic fashion. On Monday USD/CNY hit 6.11 and by Friday the pair had briefly seen 6.17, a ten-month high. Friday also saw the biggest one-day decline in the pair since Spring 2007 after Chinese regulator SAFE said the moves in the currency were not extreme but were normal, confirming suspicions that Beijing was happy to see the currency move lower. The emerging consensus is that the government is weakening the yuan in order to deter capital inflows and crack up the carry trade. Friday night will see the release of Chinese manufacturing PMI data that will give traders something to chew on over the weekend.

Somewhat jerky day, what with all the Ukraine/Russia news. Still, squeezed enough profit to make it worth our while. Mostly usual suspects, like FB, C, EBAY etc, with random one on LO thrown in for a good measure. Has also severe case of scalper's regret when one of our trades went to 1:10, after we took 1:3 profit.

Slowish day as market gapped and stalled. Profitable though, especially after the midday lunacy when things sold off on bogus reason of Russia's missile test. Gave us a few long entries when panicking sellers realized it was nothing out of ordinary and planned well in advance of today's crisis.

Session Time: Tue Mar 04 00:00:00 2014
[08:07] {thomcbell} GM
01[08:49] {@Threei}  morning thom
[08:53] {nemo} Where's that foreign affairs expert, ese?
01[08:53] {@Threei}  why, what question do you have for him?
[08:55] {nemo} none...we were having a long conversation about Ukraine and Crimea last night...I didn't know, Kruschev basically gave Crimea to Ukraine...and it was Tartars first before Stalin moved them...sheesh, "invading" Ukraine, would be like us invading California
01[08:55] {@Threei}  you should have asked me
01[08:56] {@Threei}  in 1954 Crimea was tranferred to Ukraine
[08:56] {nemo} It's easier over booze
[08:56] {fish_49} Invade California?  Not a bad Idea  Convert them to Conservatives
01[08:56] {@Threei}  lol
[08:56] {nemo} Nah, I was thinking nuke it
01[08:56] {@Threei}  but that's half of the story
[08:56] {fish_49} so am I reading this right  Putin will leave them alone?
[08:56] {nemo} yeah, 4 bottles of wine, 1 bottle cognac, 1 bottle rum
01[08:56] {@Threei}  there were many land resdistributions
01[08:57] {@Threei}  when USSR was dismantled, broders were settled
01[08:57] {@Threei}  borders too
01[08:58] {@Threei}  and in 1994 in Budapest an agreement was signed, according to which Ukraine gave up its nukes, in exchange US, UK and Russia guaranteed it its territorial integrity
01[08:58] {@Threei}  Russia leased naval base territory in Crimea, in exchange for 30% discount for natural gas
01[08:59] {@Threei}  This lease is active to 2042 per last signed agreement
[08:59] {dino} gm
01[08:59] {@Threei}  So no, by all the legal framework Crimea is Ukrainian
01[08:59] {@Threei}  dino :)
[08:59] {fish_49} so the port and the nat gas is the issue?
[09:00] {nemo} yeah, but culturally and strategically, it's always been a part of the Russian equation
01[09:00] {@Threei}  not at all
01[09:00] {@Threei}  nothihg is an issue but this:
01[09:00] {@Threei}  Putin can't and won't allow Ukraine as a NATO member
[09:00] {nemo} nope
[09:01] {nemo} he ain't having nato right up against his western flank
01[09:01] {@Threei}  as soon as this threat reappeared after this revolution puvoting Ukraine toward west, he made this move
01[09:01] {@Threei}  prepared long ago btw
01[09:01] {@Threei}  Nemo, yes, it was a part of Russia for good couple centuries
01[09:01] {@Threei}  so what?
01[09:02] {@Threei}  Some of Kuban land was part of Ukraine
01[09:02] {@Threei}  and was transfered to Russia during soviet times
[09:02] {nemo} well, you get all these modern foreign affairs experts commenting with little historical context
01[09:02] {@Threei}  you don't go back in history and decide what you redistribute
01[09:02] {@Threei}  ah yes
[09:02] {nemo} oh, and who have been behind the uprising:  the Maidan
01[09:02] {@Threei}  that I see left and right
01[09:03] {@Threei}  well, here is breaking news
01[09:03] {@Threei}  Maidan doesn't know who Maidan is, and who is behind it
01[09:03] {@Threei}  it's a hirrific mish m,esh of very different forces
[09:03] {nemo} bunch of Neo-Nazi's...and the ersatz foreign affairs experts are supporting them?
01[09:04] {@Threei}  they got united for a short while by common enemy
01[09:04] {@Threei}  no...
01[09:04] {@Threei}  there are neo nazis
01[09:04] {@Threei}  but it's not the whole maidan, and not even majotiry
01[09:04] {@Threei}  it's one of the most organized parts of it, sure
01[09:05] {@Threei}  most on Maidan were brought there by sheer and pure desire to get rid of the bandits that ruled the country
01[09:05] {@Threei}  and most are as unhappy with new govt as they were with old one
01[09:05] {@Threei}  and voice it out quite loudly
01[09:06] {@Threei}  they want new election
01[09:06] {@Threei}  and until that happens, you don't know who came out victorious in the end
01[09:06] {@Threei}  Labeling whole movement as nazus is Russian propaganda
01[09:07] {@Threei}  and their justification for intervention
[09:08] {nemo} I'm sure there are enough lies on both sides to go around
01[09:10] {@Threei}  oh and if we are to return to historic boreders as they were at some point in the past, choosing and picking what someone wants... how about returning Alaska to Russia?
01[09:10] {@Threei}  how is it different from Crimea?
[09:10] {nemo} or California to Mexico
[09:10] {nemo} Louisiana purchase to France
01[09:10] {@Threei}  many in Russia consider it unfair that Alaska now belongs to USA
01[09:11] {@Threei}  still want to open that door by admitting that yes, Russia has rights to Crimea?
[09:12] {nemo} who me?  No, I'm just saying there is a much longer historical entanglement then the EFA experts understand
[09:12] {_illyakuryakin} Its their Cabo San Lucas ...right?
01[09:13] {@Threei}  I haven't watched Putin's press conference in full, but from the lines I read, I don't know why everyone decided it's over
01[09:13] {@Threei}  Putin says for now no need to use military force in Crimea, but Russia has option to do so
01[09:13] {@Threei}  sure no need, it's taken over with no single shot
01[09:13] {@Threei}  Putin: 'As you know the markets were quite nervous before the situation in Ukraine, it is connected to the policy of the USA'
01[09:14] {@Threei}  Russia will 'of course' provide aid to Ukraine's southern region of Crimea, Putin says
01[09:14] {@Threei}  yup, by making them Russian citizens
01[09:14] {@Threei}  Russia's President Putin says there has been an anti-constitutional coup in the Ukraine, a military seizure of power
01[09:14] {@Threei}  etc
01[09:15] {@Threei}  on, and this gem:
01[09:15] {@Threei}  Putin says he hopes Russia won't have to use force in eastern Ukraine
01[09:15] {@Threei}  how quickly world forgot Stalin-speak
01[09:15] {@Threei}  this above is not a reassurance, it's a threat
[09:17] {munky} morn
01[09:17] {@Threei}  munky :)
01[09:17] {@Threei}  Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a press conference in Moscow today, didn't rule out further military intervention in Ukraine to carry out what he described as a humanitarian mission to protect Ukraine's millions of ethnic Russians.
01[09:17] {@Threei}  lol
01[09:18] {@Threei}  How do you say in Putian "no one shoots at us but as soon as they start.."
01[09:18] {@Threei}  here: Putin said, however, that “there is no reason yet” to use military force.
01[09:19] {@Threei}  read this nemo:
01[09:19] {@Threei}  http://www.kyivpost.com/content/politics/putin-doesnt-rule-out-deeper-military-intervention-in-ukraine-338350.html
[09:19] {fish_49} Wished Ukraine had large oil reserves
01[09:20] {@Threei}  lol
[09:20] {fish_49} think about it
01[09:20] {@Threei}  yup
[09:20] {fish_49} the USA would not let Iraq Invae Kuwait..  Why would we let Putin invade Ukraine?
01[09:20] {@Threei}  one thing is for sure: when Putin says something is red line for him, he follows through

01[11:31] {@Threei}  but who knew Putin was gonna break weak Western spine so easy
[11:31] {fish_49} messing with ese  he indicates above he should have stayed in KMX  longer
[11:31] {fish_49} ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[11:32] {fish_49} lol
[11:32] {fish_49} your right Vad
[11:33] {RonS} ese calls Putin:  hey Vlad baby, back off...i've got a kmx position on...
[11:34] {fish_49} Wish ese can call Vlad and ask him to surround the McDonalds
[11:34] {RonS} Putin:  ...anything for you, drummer boy...
[11:34] {fish_49} so ese and putin are like Kim Jung Un and Denis Rodman?
[11:35] {_illyakuryakin} 3i, cartilage does not break...it bends.
01[11:35] {@Threei}  lol ilya
[11:37] {ese} hey fish.....normally on shorter plays i will go ½ then out a another quarter then full.....
[11:37] {fish_49} yea  You kept that over night  right?
[11:38] {ese} you guys were on me about him yesterday calling him stupid....the financial markets sold off Russian currency like crazy.....what'd they finally loose a trillion or so.....that was a no brainer
[11:38] {ese} hopefully he needed that to pay off Sochi......dumb ass
[11:39] {ese} ya...kept it overnight.....based on a strong daily chart cup and handle
[11:40] {ese} and breaking above some ma's
[11:41] {ese} calculated guess.....it could have gone the other way......i figured maybe 2bills with 600 shs...another learning experience
[11:43] {dino} maybe putin was short going into that
01[11:45] {@Threei}  ese... you seem to use terms evil and stupid interchangably
01[11:45] {@Threei}  no one argued against him being evil
01[11:46] {@Threei}  but stupid? not in the least
01[11:46] {@Threei}  now... he exports oil, right?
01[11:46] {@Threei}  and whole country in fact lives off of that
01[11:47] {@Threei}  so, how do you think rouble selloff impacted his economy, negatively or positively?
01[11:47] {@Threei}  tell me again how he is stupid
[11:47] {munky} im confused??
[11:47] {fish_49} de-valued his currency and gave him less international buying power
01[11:48] {@Threei}  he is and EXPORTER
01[11:48] {@Threei}  an
[11:48] {_illyakuryakin} oil goes up
01[11:48] {@Threei}  exporting countries benefit from weak currency
[11:48] {dino} dhe boosted price of his oil
[11:48] {dino} exactly
01[11:48] {@Threei}  and yes, conflict lifted the price of oil
01[11:49] {@Threei}  double win
[11:49] {dino} i also think he had huge shorts placed on markets, he knew when he was invading, so why not
[11:51] {fish_49} who buys the largest share of Russian Oil?
[11:51] {dino} europe
[11:52] {dino} as with natty gas
01[11:52] {@Threei}  now ese... think Putin is burdened by cost of Olympics very much?
[11:52] {RonS} President Obama: 'We believe the Ukrainian people should be able to decide their own future'...(but US citizens can screw themselves...they must do as I say)...
01[11:52] {@Threei}  how much do you think Russia made by selling oil in 2013?
01[11:53] {@Threei}  $415 billion
[11:54] {RonS} and how about natty?
01[11:55] {@Threei}  don't know
[11:55] {fish_49} Ukraine has their own Nat Gas  right?
[11:55] {_illyakuryakin} its flared
01[11:55] {@Threei}  can find it but even that number tells you how he just doesn't care about measly 50 b
01[11:55] {@Threei}  half of which was stolen anyway
01[11:55] {@Threei}  no fish
01[11:55] {@Threei}  coal, ire
[11:56] {dino} russian pipelines carry russian gas thru ukraine to europe, about 40% of europe gas needs
[11:56] {_illyakuryakin} hmmm
[11:56] {dino} fracking is going to start looking prettyu good to europeans soon
[11:56] {fish_49} oh  My  so my statement earlier is not far off.  They dont have their own Oil but the pipes on their land control  a huge share
01[11:57] {@Threei}  well, what is it they control?
01[11:57] {@Threei}  they are paid for use of the land
[11:58] {fish_49} but if they dont like the price given for land rights  they are in control
[11:58] {dino} past 3 years with disputes, russia simply cut off gas supply
01[11:59] {@Threei}  they really are not fish
01[11:59] {@Threei}  they need that gas
01[12:00] {@Threei}  they demand more than russia is willing to pay, russia shrugs and closes supply
[12:00] {dino} fish, its the golden rule w/russia, "whoever has the gold (gas) rules
[12:00] {fish_49} yea  I have no clue .. I should pay closer attention to politics in that region.  
01[12:00] {@Threei}  next thing you know, Ukraine and half of Eutope freezes
[12:00] {dino} bingo!!!!
01[12:00] {@Threei}  anfd guess who Europe blames?
01[12:00] {@Threei}  Ukraine, for demanding unreasonable payment
[12:00] {fish_49} Ukraine?
[12:00] {dino} watch for usa to start granting natty gas export permits for europe
[12:01] {dino} drill baby drill

01[12:31] {@Threei}  1:1
01[12:47] {@Threei}  yup, they are scared:
01[12:47] {@Threei}  (RU) Russia Foreign Ministry: Any sanctions imposed by the US on Russia would trigger a response, and not necessarily a symmetric response
[12:48] {thomcbell} wow spwr trying to break out but already up so much probably spikes and fails
01[12:48] {@Threei}  (UR) US Sec State Kerry: Russia has worked hard to create a pretext for invading the Ukraine; US is not looking for a major confrontation with Russia
[12:51] {dino} russia basically just said "f u"
01[12:52] {@Threei}  you mean reiterated
[12:52] {fish_49} so war with words for awhile
01[12:52] {@Threei}  they don't get it... both EU and US current clowns
01[12:52] {@Threei}  here is simple truth:
[12:53] {dino} russia gets it. troops are still in ukraine
01[12:53] {@Threei}  for Putin, Ukraine as a member of NATO is unacceptable. Period
[12:53] {dino} they know obummer doesn't have any balls
01[12:53] {@Threei}  there is no way he agrees to that, no way no how
[12:53] {fish_49} yea  thats  what I was gonna ask  are there any reports of actually seeing the troops being pulled back?
01[12:54] {@Threei}  there is no any depth he won't go to to prevent that
01[12:54] {@Threei}  not at all fish
01[12:54] {@Threei}  Crimea is effectively occupied
[12:54] {fish_49} the last report I watched was many drunk soldiers
[12:55] {fish_49} we should be buying stock in Vodka  today as they celebrate
01[12:55] {@Threei}  if he has to break Ukraine by two parts to prevent that outcome, he will do it
[12:55] {dino} all i saw was a cease to war games near border, troops still in crimea
01[12:55] {@Threei}  and he has means to do it
01[12:55] {@Threei}  he won't have to start all-out war to achieve that
01[12:56] {@Threei}  there are old fault lines in Ukraine that can be exploited to achieve the civil war and breakdown
01[12:56] {@Threei}  cultural, ethnic, language, historic
[12:56] {fish_49} re-draw map?
[12:57] {dino} back o the ussr
[12:57] {fish_49} That song will come back?
[12:58] {dino} would have to think jeb is taking a serious look at this
01[13:08] {@Threei}  WH Press Secretary: Considering multiple violation of international law by Russia, we made a difficult decision to unfollow Russia on Twitter
[13:10] {_illyakuryakin} they still have the red pohone tho...

[13:13] {_illyakuryakin} kangaroo streit
[13:14] {fish_49} MCD took out some stops?

TradeTheNews.com March-April 2014 Outlook: Best Picture



The year got off to a rocky start as the impending end of the Fed's quantitative easing program led to a minor retrenchment in the markets. After a blockbuster year for stocks in 2013, major US indices fell in January for the first time in four years. Emerging markets took the brunt of the tapering impact, exacerbated by political problems in places like Turkey, Venezuela, and most recently the Ukraine. Some worse than usual winter weather in the US piled on (literally and figuratively) leading to some re-pricing of risk. Three US Treasury note auctions in last week of February showed strong demand, indicating the bond market also has some reservations about the economic outlook.

But investors cast aside early doubts, and markets came back with guns blazing like an action movie hero in the second act. The S&P500 dipped only single digit percentages in January before rebounding smartly, and European indices largely followed suit, though Japan's Nikkei and many emerging market indices are lagging behind.

Whatever caused the stock market swoon earlier this year, investors have chosen to accentuate the positives like solid Q4 earnings reports, and eliminates the negatives like slow retail sales and industrial production data. Much like the Academy Awards broadcast , the markets only really seem interested in presenting the best picture. Some new MacGuffins may yet emerge to reverse plot of the market's risk-on sentiment, but so far even the Russia heavy (Putin) has failed to changed the course of the story.

American Hustle

In the US, the major question continues to be how markets will respond to the Fed tapering quantitative easing. The Fed has taken the last year to carefully frame tapering not as the beginning of the end of accommodation, but merely as the withdrawal of additional stimulus, and has indicated that barring a disruptive new trend in the data, the QE rollback will stay on its $10B per meeting pace and wrap up in late 2014. So far US markets have bought in to that script, continuing to set new record highs on the S&P and Dow, but as the end of QE approaches there could be some renewed jitters, and the equities could get more skittish. Already some chartists note that the most recent highs are getting narrower in breadth, based largely on a few outsized winners (like Tesla), and the doomsayers keep pointing to stock index charts that suggests an eerie similarity between the last year and the lead up to the 1929 crash.

Brazen predictions aside, the end of QE is being absorbed without too much tumult, but eventually forward looking markets will start to model what comes after QE has ended. Fed Chair Yellen and her cohorts have stated publically that they are looking to retool forward guidance, taking it away from quantitative measures like the 6.5% unemployment threshold and back to the more qualitative guidance seen pre-crisis. Given the broad range of opinions expressed by FOMC members on this subject, it could reasonably take the rest of the year for the Fed to craft their new forward guidance, but we will continue to see glimpses of its evolution in "rushes" of Fed speeches and minutes in the months to come.

Things are clearer than they have been for a long time on the US fiscal front. After producing nothing but political cliff hangers over the last few years, Washington has finally made some progress toward reducing uncertainty. Congress has cleared the decks for 2014, settling the debt ceiling issue as well as funding the government through the mid-term elections and into early next year. The politicians are now discussing less pressing issues like raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment insurance (UI). The minimum wage is a perennial football in Washington, while the expiration of UI benefits for millions of Americans could hurt consumer spending at a sensitive moment of the recovery, and play more havoc with unemployment figures that have already been skewed by structural changes that have noticeably shifted the workforce participation rate.

Aside from the jobless rate falling faster than expected, US economic data has been largely disappointing for a couple of months. It is yet unclear, however, whether its root is a cyclical slowdown or just that the data has been tainted by the worst winter weather in decades. The weather may give us a free pass for Q1, but heading into the spring the data needs to shake off those temporary factors.

A worst case scenario for the Fed would be payroll and housing numbers failing to pick up in the spring, testing the central bank's resolve to finishing tapering. Though the FOMC policy statement leaves nominal flexibility, bank officials have made it clear that it would take a significant outlook change to deviate from the current path of tapering. So if the cuts in QE are paused, then the market reaction could be exaggerated. Central bank officials are also keenly aware that a mid-course shift in tapering could further chip away at Fed credibility that has been eroded by dodgy economic forecasts and the communications bobble in mid-2013 that led to the 'taper tantrum'.

A spring thaw in US data could be led by a snap back in housing. Already the January new home sales reading came in at a 7-month high, despite the cold weather woes. If other indicators like building permits and existing home sales start to confirm an improvement in the housing market, they could in turn lead other economic data higher, perhaps shaking the winter malaise off of consumer spending and industrial production numbers. Better numbers in the next two months could still salvage a decent rebound in growth when the advance Q1 GDP data is released on April 30.

Brussels Buyers Club

After many years of struggle, the European economy is starting to show some renewed signs of life. Unemployment has stabilized, Ireland is exiting its extraordinary support program followed closely by Portugal, and there are no new sovereign financial crises on the radar. Sovereign bond yields between peripheral nations and the German bund are at their narrowest in years, indicating cohesion is returning to the euro zone after it was nearly spun apart. Within the zone the only current political drama is in Italy, where an ambitious young party boss has pushed out Prime Minister Letta, though it remains unclear if this will be a setback for Italy's economy which just scored its first quarterly growth reading in over two years.

Lately, the chief concern for Europe has been persistent low inflation. The European Central Bank, which has tried get out in front of some previous policy hazards, has had a more difficult time taking a decision on this matter. Officials have been jawboning the issue, never missing a chance to note "inflation expectations are well anchored", but they seem to be hesitant to pull the trigger on the next evolution of policy accommodation.

The latest reports, however, indicate a move could come as soon as the March 6th policy meeting, when new staff economic projections through 2016 will be released. It appears that with inflation sitting on the lower boundary of its comfort zone, there is a growing consensus at the ECB that preemptive action is needed again to head off a crisis moment before it erupts. Last year a move to negative deposit rates got a lot of discussion, though it had some detractors worried about unintended consequences. Indications now are that a small cut in the main refi rate is under consideration, or that the central bank may instead elect to end the so-called sterilization of bond purchases, the practice of the ECB selling an equivalent asset for every purchase it makes under its Securities Markets Program (SMP). Tight liquidity in the euro zone has contributed to numerous sterilizations failing recently, which appears to suit the ECB's ends given that it wants to boost the money supply. With even the hard-line German Bundesbank now ostensibly supportive of ending sterilization, ECB President Draghi has the power to transform the SMP into quantitative easing in all but name. A green light for ending sterilization at the March or April meeting would release approximately 180 billion euros, almost doubling the amount of excess liquidity in the euro zone financial system, and could achieve the added benefit of lowering the euros exchange rate.

At the next couple of ECB policy meetings Draghi will also likely continue to discuss ideas for a new LTRO-style operation that would target increased lending to the real economy to boost growth and inflation rather than for bank capital formation as the original LTROs fell into. Such a program still has numerous technical and political hurdles to clear, but Draghi should keep it in his rhetorical toolbox as he works to reinforce euro zone stability.

Though the euro zone and EU are restoring a sense of stability, they don't have to look too far beyond their borders for fresh headaches. The upheaval in the Ukraine has revived the specter of the Cold War as the populace struggles between the allure of Europe and its historic ties with Russia to the east. Russian President Putin tried to force the issue by mobilizing troops, but the threat of international sanctions and an immediate double digit drop in the Russian stock market seemed to give Mr. Putin pause. He quickly wound down the "military exercises" in the region around Ukraine and suggested that military force would be used only as a last resort in defense of Russia's interests in Crimea. For the moment, tensions have eased, though a Crimea referendum on its status within the Ukraine set for March 30 may provoke a more violent clash if Ukraine asserts its territorial sovereignty and refuses to let go of the Black Sea holdings that Russia ceded to it sixty years ago.

The Dragon of Wall Street

As China continues its effort to engineer a shift from an export led economy to one driven by consumer demand, the world's second largest economy is experiencing some growing pains. A wave of subpar manufacturing data continues to raise questions about the nation's economic vitality, though the latest trade balance number was encouraging with higher than expected imports and exports. The official 2013 GDP tally came in at 7.7%, two-tenths ahead of the official target, but the weakest growth in 14 years.

The National People's Congress (NPC) meeting the first week of March (starts 3/5) may set the tone for the economy in 2014. The meeting will produce the official macro targets for the year as well as set the agenda for economic reform efforts. Most analysts see the central government maintaining the official growth target at 7.5% for 2014, necessary to keep on pace for achieving the decade-long goal of doubling the economy through 2020.

Others see a different outcome. Ahead of the event, a government-affiliated think tank called the State Information Center proposed lowering this year's target to 7% as a signal to local governments to relax their single-minded focus on growth, trim back unnecessary investments, and address economic reform. In November, Premier Li Keqiang indicated that 7.2% GDP growth is require d to create the 10 million jobs annually needed to keep urban employment levels steady. Additionally, one Chinese news report indicated that nearly two dozen provinces would lower their GDP targets this year while only two looked to raise them. Given this, there is some speculation that China's government could set the growth target at 7% or couch a 7.5% number as a "projection" rather than as a firm target.

A lower GDP growth goal could be taken as a signal that Beijing is getting more serious about tackling the economic reforms needed to address international jitters about exploding local government debt, nearing $3 trillion in mid-2013. The NPC could also announce steps to improve and structure local government access to the municipal bond market to replace ad-hoc funding through short term bank loans.

[*Note: since the time of writing, the NPC has announced that for the third year in a row the GDP target will remain at 7.5%, though the 2014 target was labeled as "elastic", which one National People's Congress deputy said was aimed at "changing the mindset of GDP worship" amongst local level officials].

China's master planners have also started moving the currency in unexpected ways. The yuan has dropped steadily in 2014, falling over 1% against the greenback in a few weeks after appreciating 10% over the last three years. Analysts say the People's Bank of China is engineering the reversal in an effort to punish currency speculators and to squeeze out hot money inflows, which amounted to something like $150B last year. The concern appears to be that the inflows of foreign capital could complicate the government's latest economic reform efforts coming out of the NPC meeting. Reports are that the move has had the unintended consequence of flooding China's money market with local currency and pushing down unofficial lending rates, contrary to the governments goal of keeping borrowing costs elevated.

Chinese corporate debt levels have pushed to record highs, ending 2013 at $12T or about 120% of GDP, which has raised some concerns about the potential for instability in Chinese financial markets. Until now the government in Beijing has facilitated bailouts of every major business venture that has threatened to default, but press reports have suggested that growing corporate debt levels will obligate some future defaults and an acceleration of domestic restructuring. When the government chooses to allow a firm to default it may lead to some retrenchment in Chinese financial markets as investors learn that they cannot assume they will always be made whole.

The moment of truth may have just arrived in the form of Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology [002506.CN], which just announced that it will not able to repay in full 90 milion yuan of interest on its corporate bond. This amounts to the first default on publicly traded debt in modern Chinese history, and one analyst has already suggested that Chaori's default could be China's "Bear Stearns moment". This may conjure some short term uncertainty, but ultimately allowing some failures will improve Chinese markets, prompting investors to make more studied choices when deploying capital.

12 Years a Malaise

In neighboring Japan the bull case is quite simple: more of the same. The Nikkei exploded higher last year on optimism about Prime Minister Abe's radical turnaround plan that snapped the nation out of a decades-long economic coma. The next potential stumbling block Abe's eponymous scheme is an increase in the consumption tax, meant to chip away at the nation's huge deficit, and set to go into effect at the start of the new fiscal year on the 1st of April. Japanese consumerism could feel a chill in as the tax on most products and services rises from 5% up to 8%, with another two-percent increase slated to occur in late 2015. Government and central bank officials seem to be quite confident that their stimulus plans will lead companies to boost the wages of their workers enough to offset the sales tax increase. Indeed many of the country's biggest manufacturers have already indicated a willingness to raise worker base pay for the first time in years, but if wage gains don't materialize on a nationwide scope it could pose a risk to the Abe administration in politically fickle Japan.

Gravity

What goes up must eventually come down, though it matters how you come down as Sandra Bullock's character in the motion picture Gravity can attest. In a world of political crises in eastern Europe, lackluster economic data in the US and China, uncomfortably low inflation in the EMU, and the first big test of the Japanese reflation planwhat does it all amount to? So far not enough to erode the risk-on sentiment that is keeping this five-year-old bull market going.

That could change with a bad turn of events like US data staying tepid once the weather excuse is gone, or a shooting-war erupting in Ukraine. More likely though, this season the markets will mirror the movie business dumping forgettable bombs on the public in the first few months of the year, but then bringing out the sequels and blockbusters in the spring. If things go well, the Wall Street crowd could be lining up to see 2013: Part II.

[14:34] {munky} whats "F'N" mean?
06[14:35] * nemo faints
01[14:35] {@Threei}  Fornicated Nicely
[14:35] {fish_49} when I say dip you do what?
[14:37] {fish_49} what is he saying  free white nose con?
[14:37] {mojo1} candy i think
[14:37] {fish_49} what is creating out of thin air?
01[14:38] {@Threei}  money by federal reserve?
[14:38] {fish_49} Must be from the south  I clouldn't understand him  lol
[14:39] {RonS} lol
[14:39] {mojo1} why don't we BTFD
01[14:41] {@Threei}  we do when right setup prsentes itself
[14:41] {mojo1} just checking
[14:44] {munky} whats B.T.F.D ?
[14:44] {dino} hey austin powers (mojo), out rnet .40, +1.20
[14:45] {fish_49} nice  did she swallow?
[14:45] {nemo} poor janitor
[14:45] {mojo1} gj
[14:45] {dino} ty buddy
[14:46] {RonS} rnet contortionist hooker...gj
[14:46] {dino} figured you'd take a ride on that one ron
[14:47] {munky} i would dino, but i gotta know ur stop level
[14:47] {RonS} too wide for me buddy...never masterd buying & selling to myself like you...
[14:47] {munky} christ if i go and say stop it .60 cents
[14:47] {dino} $250 max loss/trade
[14:47] {munky} but u hold it thru a dollar down against
[14:48] {munky} then it rises
[14:48] {fish_49} nerves
[14:48] {dino} doesn't matter, just know your $ stop, control thru size.discipline trumps conviction.
[14:48] {nemo} smaller lot sizes
[14:49] {munky} well, u aswered the question, u are willing to take 250 loss
[14:49] {munky} is that on every trade u post in here?
[14:49] {dino} yes, only 200 on that one. vsm=200, smr=300, sm=400, hl=500, nothing mentioned 1k
[14:50] {munky} ok, so understand it as best as a simian can i guess
[14:50] {dino} munky, no. on huge gapers like that yes. but typically my stop is .33-.36 cents on a trade of 300-400 shares. on 500 -.20, on 1k -.12
[14:51] {dino} but big gappers, i must give chance to work....pulp, as we say
[14:52] {munky} my pen ran out of ink writing down vsmsmrbtfdetc
[14:52] {RonS} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xCXbn4MTnk
[14:53] {dino} lol, but don't trade what i trade until you're more experienced. hookers can hurt you.
01[14:53] {@Threei}  they can?
[14:53] {nemo} not to mention you don't trade what dino trades, unless you understand it
[14:54] {dino} i've been trading full time since 2000, in this room, about 6 years, right vad?
01[14:55] {@Threei}  I'd have to look it up but by memory sounds about right
[14:55] {munky} yea like the hooker in the old movie "fort apache in the bronx"
[14:55] {dino} just remember this and you should be ok: profits=luck; losses=skill.
[14:56] {nemo} imo...indexes probably hang out in this area
[14:56] {nemo} shit gonna' get choppy
[14:56] {fish_49} they recoverd  but the NQ  is still lagging
[14:56] {fish_49} recovered
[14:57] {nemo} this is more about the spy and rut
[14:57] {mojo1} Dino, looks like you're the luckiest bastard with no skill, I've ever seen!
[14:57] {munky} munky falls out of tree laughin
[14:58] {dino} better lucky than good
[14:58] {nemo} yeah, I've said that often
[14:58] {nemo} his wife was probably homecoming queen
[14:58] {dino} timimg and luck play a big part in my life
[14:59] {dino} but remember, some create their own luck
[15:00] {nemo} must be tough to wipe your ass with that horseshoe stuck up there
[15:00] {dino} bitch to sit down
[15:01] {nathan} short MAT .95 break
[15:01] {nemo} .70 range in spy wow
[15:02] {nemo} one could make an argument for vxx long here
01[15:02] {@Threei} Short Setup: SPY  .20 break
01[15:02] {@Threei}  If holds  .30
[15:02] {nemo} pair trade then
01[15:02] {@Threei}  same idea that yours
[15:02] {nemo} yep
01[15:03] {@Threei}  a bit different chart configuration though
[15:03] {nemo} yep
01[15:03] {@Threei}  SPY is inversed C&H, aggressive entry
[15:03] {nemo} mine at vwap support, your's at vwap resistance
[15:03] {dino} nsm spike
01[15:03] {@Threei}  I don't base them on VWAP though
[15:03] {munky} but vxx is cheaper on bp
01[15:03] {@Threei}  just on charts
[15:03] {nemo} I understand
01[15:04] {@Threei}  VXX would probably be .15 break
[15:04] {nemo} vwap on my chart
01[15:04] {@Threei} Long Setup:  VXX  .15 break
01[15:04] {@Threei}  If holds  .05
[15:04] {munky} ill gao zvxx
01[15:04] {@Threei}  munky switched to Chinese
[15:04] {nemo} frickin gui lo
[15:05] {dino} f#ck, rnet at 51s
01[15:05] {@Threei}  maybe aggressivER still on SPY... .25 break
01[15:06] {@Threei}  with .36 stop
[15:06] {nemo} ahhh, rorschach stock, huh dino
[15:06] {dino} bumming, i sold at 49.40
01[15:07] {@Threei}  SPY... with any luck, this can turn into a large trade
[15:07] {fish_49} If Spy works  the VXX trade should also?
01[15:07] {@Threei}  yes
[15:08] {dino} vxx, viix
[15:08] {dino} xiv should drop
01[15:08] {@Threei}  want this paired trade to be come a day saver
[15:08] {nemo} you may actuall see an outsize gain on vxx
01[15:08] {@Threei}  2 1:3ers
01[15:09] {@Threei}  at least, may be more
01[15:09] {@Threei}  if real panic comes and that large inverted C&H hits
[15:09] {munky} so u think mkt falls into close , why?
[15:09] {nemo} methinks insurance gets bought more than spy gets sold
01[15:09] {@Threei}  because if the chart configuration?
[15:09] {nemo} weekly options coming due
01[15:10] {@Threei}  of
[15:10] {dino} nemo, think that happens more tomorrow going into weekend
01[15:10] {@Threei}  and volume
[15:10] {nemo} jobs report dino
01[15:10] {@Threei}  look how volume shapes up on that C&H
[15:10] {dino} munky, don't think.
01[15:10] {@Threei}  or at least think twice before thinking
[15:11] {dino} don't let opinions (thinking) get in the way of making $$$
[15:11] {nemo} SOMG
[15:11] {nemo} SOB
[15:11] {nemo} Les
06[15:12] * dino slaps nemo around a bit with a large trout
06[15:12] * nemo slaps dino around with an Rem 870 mariner
[15:12] {dino} raising the stakes
[15:12] {nemo} hehehehe
[15:13] {nemo} never bring a trout to a gunfight
[15:13] {dino} lol
[15:13] {fish_49} I agree
01[15:13] {@Threei}  lol
01[15:13] {@Threei}  drop already SPY
[15:13] {nemo} I used to love fly fishing for trout when I was a kid
[15:14] {_illyakuryakin} a trout will give you a good slap
[15:14] {nemo} so won't the recall from an 870
[15:14] {nemo} recoil
[15:14] {nemo} sheeesh
[15:14] {nemo} spy going back to vwap
[15:14] {fish_49} out VXX
01[15:15] {@Threei}  no go
01[15:15] {@Threei}  SPY's last hope
[15:16] {munky} tough day
[15:17] {nemo} yeah, I'll just bend over and take it like a man
[15:17] {munky} no kidding, ass cracker
[15:17] {nemo} I guess I can hope for a kiss behind the ear or a reach around
[15:17] {fish_49} most men dont bend over and take it... Tell us what yo mean Nemo
[15:18] {nemo} I'll show you when I see you fish
[15:18] {fish_49} keeping my soap on the rope
[15:19] {munky} 7 more days in a row like yester and today and u guys will be free of the munky
[15:20] {dino} hmmm, up 11 days in row here
[15:20] {dino} just jinxed myself i'm sure
[15:20] {fish_49} I will collect my share  and can I also collect for Alex?
[15:20] {munky} bend over and ill give u another horse shoe
[15:21] {fish_49} Do you ever play Horse Shoes? Munky?
[15:21] {dino} barrels
[15:22] {fish_49} quarter?
[15:22] {fish_49} Feels  like all is quiet b4 the storm  lol
[15:23] {dino} munky, w/respect. you must never forget rule # 1
[15:23] {munky} horseshoe was nemos joke
[15:23] {nemo} this is a long setup on vxx again, but indexes are so close to vwaps
[15:24] {dino} rule # 1: you must stay in the game.
[15:25] {dino} strange, 07 running mostly red but markets staying up
[15:26] {fish_49} [15:24] {dino} rule # 1: you must stay in the game.
[15:26] {fish_49} Very Good Point
[15:26] {dino} never forget that or you won't be here
01[15:31] {@Threei}  I hate today
01[15:31] {@Threei}  bit less than I hated yesterday but still
[15:31] {fish_49} more than yesterday?
01[15:31] {@Threei}  no
01[15:31] {@Threei}  got 1:3 and 1:2 earlier, and some scalps
01[15:32] {@Threei}  yesterday was hopeless
[15:32] {munky} ther last two trades were like kicking me when im down lol
[15:35] {fish_49} Toad...  VXX is  the ETF  for the VIX right?  and the Vix is supposed  to represent the fear in the S&P?
[15:35] {nemo} yep, and it looks like nobody is afraid of the jobs report
01[15:35] {@Threei}  generally, yes
[15:38] {nemo} frickin' vwap
[15:38] {fish_49} on?
[15:38] {nemo} indexes, that's where vxx iwm and spy will end up, maybe even finnies
[15:42] {mojo1} nemo are you saying vxx would end at the vwap 43.03 give or take
[15:43] {nemo} I may be wrong about vxx, since there seems to be no fear, but finnies are coming into vwap so is iwm, spy is .10 below...I expect them to be in spitting distance
[15:43] {nemo} this is time to get chopped up
01[15:45] {@Threei}  if SPY drops now I am going to eat my keyboard
[15:45] {nemo} yeah, I got the sig out
[15:45] {fish_49} Wasabi?  Soy Sauce?
[15:45] {nemo} ?
01[15:45] {@Threei}  also, ask munky for banana and cut my wrist with it
[15:46] {dino} gun to the head time
[15:46] {mojo1} me too
[15:46] {nemo} nah, I'll just put it in my mouth
[15:46] {nemo} .40 cal glaser rounds....should be sufficient
01[15:46] {@Threei}  TMI
[15:46] {fish_49} you dont live in high rise  do you Vad?
01[15:46] {@Threei}  mother... 1:1

[15:46] {fish_49} oh ur still in the SPY trade?  I didnt  take it
01[15:47] {@Threei}  no
01[15:47] {@Threei}  it rinsed
01[15:47] {@Threei}  and no on high rise
[15:47] {mojo1} rinsed me too
[15:48] {mojo1} and i getting ready to jump out the window
01[15:48] {@Threei}  don't remember last time when we had 2 losing days in a row
[15:48] {fish_49} I would jump out my window  but  I'm in the basement
[15:49] {nemo} saw movie Last Vegas...it was o.k., but there is a hilarious scene with Morgan Freeman escaping out the window
[15:49] {fish_49} ok  spy bounce here  07
01[15:49] {@Threei}  nope...
01[15:49] {@Threei}  it will drop now and make me cry

[15:49] {fish_49} I didnt  say how high
01[15:49] {@Threei}  yes... 3 cents
[15:49] {fish_49} but it bounced  lol
[15:51] {fish_49} according to the rules ,  it has to bounce back up to .32  b4 the close
01[15:51] {@Threei}  1:2
01[15:51] {@Threei}  this is one not very tasty keyboard
[15:51] {fish_49} I'm holding breath  Please let me know when it bounces
[15:52] {fish_49} vxx short here
01[15:52] {@Threei}  let me try to bite of the other part, numeric
01[15:52] {@Threei}  nah, same crap
[15:52] {munky} interesting nemo, vxx made to vwap
[15:53] {nemo} yep

Much better day as some rhythm re-emerged. A few 1:3 and 1:2 trades made a decent trading session; notable ones were short on C and long on VXX.

 Session Time: Fri Mar 07 00:00:00 2014
[08:29] {nemo} Here it comes....
[08:29] {nemo} must be good
[08:29] {nemo} 190 here we come
[08:29] {fish_49} ohhh mmyyy  fun spike
[08:30] {nemo} only if you were in
[08:30] {nemo} makes sense though, if it was bad, it would be the weather, if it was good.yippeeee
[08:30] {fish_49} i joined my Futures class late  they were short YM and NQ  glad I was late to class  lol  they stopped out
[08:30] {nemo} should have known when Goldman Sucks came out yesterday saying it would be a big miss...trying to get people out of the way
[08:31] {nemo} short made no sense given previous reaction to misses, especially with the weather
[08:32] {nemo} we've already hit R4 on the daily although the range is only about half the 20 day average
[08:33] {fish_49} the numbers were positive...  We trade up on negative news  and we trade up on positive news...  Go figure
[08:34] {fish_49} ther folks that took the upper zone  on the NQ  are gonna be fine
[08:34] {nemo} so big gap up, gonna' be a quiet day trading...that's a bull market fish
[08:34] {nemo} when you trade down on good news, then we'll start thinking bear
[08:35] {fish_49} well that has been the case while Feds were not clear on tapering  but  now they are firm
[08:35] {nemo} yeah, and economy is showing strength without the Fed's training wheels
[08:36] {fish_49} in my humble opinion  the issue is now  "when do we raise rates" and that key number was when the unemployment rate hits 6.5 and stays there or below 6.5  for awhile
[08:36] {nemo} yeah, and the unemployment rate went up
[08:37] {nemo} I think they've said, not until 2015 at least
[08:37] {fish_49} they can't say that
[08:37] {fish_49} they dont have crystal ball toad
[08:38] {nemo} they did say that
[08:38] {nemo} they have to finance the government debt also
[08:38] {nemo} that's unspoken in this
[08:40] {fish_49} GC fell like a brick but now in Demand zone..  lets see if it can break down in that  zone
[08:43] {_illyakuryakin} GC?
[08:43] {nemo} futures illya
[08:44] {fish_49} Gold
[08:44] {_illyakuryakin} ah
[08:44] {nemo} likely going to be a very quiet trading day here
[08:44] {_illyakuryakin} yea...no war
[08:45] {nemo} no, gap up
[08:45] {nemo} if this doesn't close, doesn't give you much range to work with
[08:46] {nemo} index gaps, tend to bring most of what is in that index with it

01[08:51] {@Threei}  Russian soldiers may be the only tourists in Crimea this year

[08:52] {_illyakuryakin} no sailors?
01[08:52] {@Threei}  they are stationed permanently... they are not tourists
[08:54] {_illyakuryakin} confusing
01[08:55] {@Threei}  why... sailors are locals, soldiers are tourists

01[11:34] {@Threei}  I am not sure you are reading what type...
[11:35] {thomcbell} 91.90 short break
01[11:35] {@Threei}  please stop for a minute and read this:
01[11:35] {@Threei}  T&S is not the ultimate display of everything that happens, since prints on it can be a) legit b) erroneous c)late
01[11:36] {@Threei}  T&S in addition to Level 2 is much more complete indication
01[11:36] {@Threei}  since Level 2 will show you actual bids and offers
01[11:36] {@Threei}  so you can see where the print is in relation to those
01[11:37] {@Threei}  No one disputes that .51 print could have been there
01[11:37] {@Threei}  the point is, it's was out of market print,
01[11:37] {@Threei}  actual breakout never happened
01[11:37] {@Threei}  as offer at .50 was not broken.
[11:37] {fish_49} Thanks
01[11:38] {@Threei}  If you go back to scalping video course,
01[11:38] {@Threei}  you will see that Level 2 is placed next to T&S

01[12:57] {@Threei}  which I studied all these years
01[12:58] {@Threei}  did nemo lie to me?
[12:58] {fish_49} the answer is Yes if he told you Munky was a good guy
[12:58] {dino} munky, not me, 2 stops today
[12:59] {dino} altho, i am positive for the day (so far)
[12:59] {fish_49} I just had  to Munky  to get even when you slapped me while Vad was lecturing me
[12:59] {fish_49} I was positive until I saw the ghost print on C..  I'm slowly getting past it
01[13:00] {@Threei}  and that's even though you took a scalp on our 1:3 short
[13:00] {fish_49} Yes  Please let me know ahead of time if it's going to 1:3
01[13:00] {@Threei}  shows you how close you are to being profitable
01[13:01] {@Threei}  just lick out these errors
[13:01] {fish_49} I will
01[13:01] {@Threei}  and calm down enough to hold the winners
01[13:02] {@Threei}  look at your trading sheet today, and run a hypothetic one, in which you let that short ride to 1:3 and didn't make that error,
01[13:02] {@Threei}  compare reults
01[13:02] {@Threei}  that will be good motivation to get these little things right

01[13:44] {@Threei}  here is the truth:
[13:44] {nemo} yeah, sith lord and the truth
01[13:44] {@Threei}  no matter how much you read, some mistakes just have to be made
[13:44] {nemo} can you say "oxymoron"
[13:44] {nemo} oh yeah, absolutely
[13:45] {nemo} you're married aren't ya?
01[13:45] {@Threei}  you learn by making them and stopping making them
[13:45] {fish_49} no but my wife is
[13:45] {nemo} we learn through pain and suffering...hopefully
01[13:45] {@Threei}  the difference between those who succeed and those who don't in not in making mistake or not,
[13:45] {nemo} watch ADBE
01[13:45] {@Threei}  it's in learning from them
01[13:45] {@Threei}  some do, and don't male them anymore
01[13:46] {@Threei}  some don't, they get pissed and press harder
01[13:46] {@Threei}  instead or press smarter
[13:46] {nemo} yes the wise man does at first what the fool does finally
01[13:46] {@Threei}  instead of
[13:46] {fish_49} well I was waiting for someone to say  "Oh You didn't know  You can't short EBAY on the 2nd Friday of the Month of March if your from Maryland
01[13:46] {@Threei}  lol
[13:46] {nathan} lol
[13:47] {nemo} ahem....should be "you're from Maryland"
01[13:47] {@Threei}  see, I trade from 1996,
01[13:47] {@Threei}  and I run RT from 2000
01[13:47] {@Threei}  dealing with traders via room, via e-mail, via whatever,
01[13:47] {@Threei}  you can imagine how many I heard from and worked with.
[13:47] {nemo} imagine that...internet has been subjected to his humor for 14 years....wtf
01[13:48] {@Threei}  yeah, poor internet
01[13:48] {@Threei}  so,
01[13:48] {@Threei}  in all these years
01[13:48] {@Threei}  I haven't seen any single trader
01[13:48] {@Threei}  no
01[13:48] {@Threei}  zilch
[13:48] {fish_49} they had internet when Vad started?
[13:48] {nemo} nope
01[13:48] {@Threei}  who wouldn't start with losses
[13:48] {fish_49} Thank God for Al Gore
[13:48] {nemo} phone
[13:48] {munky} vad had hair when he startedlol
01[13:48] {@Threei}  or wouldn't go through losing period
01[13:49] {@Threei}  hey, I still have some
01[13:49] {@Threei}  hair I mean
06[13:49] * nemo "thinks to himself...I think Munky's room rate just went up..."
01[13:49] {@Threei}  if you are frustrated because of initial losses, don't be
01[13:49] {@Threei}  it's absolutel;y part of the process
01[13:49] {@Threei}  no one avoided it,
01[13:49] {@Threei}  many lost a few trading accounts
[13:50] {nemo} ADBE
[13:50] {fish_49} My frustration is the method  only...
[13:50] {nemo} look at that HFT stuff around 68
[13:50] {nemo} whoa
01[13:51] {@Threei}  and if you think you are frustrated more than others, how about this:
[13:51] {munky} can i just ask ?
01[13:51] {@Threei}  just a sec, lemme finish
01[13:52] {@Threei}  imagine losing 3/4 of your trading account, having trading as you only hope of survival, with no actionable English, being with no legal immigrant status and having a wife and two kids to feed
[13:52] {nemo} running spell check there Vad?
01[13:53] {@Threei}  Go through that and recover, making trading work for you... come to me with box of Hennessy, we will trade stories :)
[13:53] {nemo} wow, not one spelling mistake
01[13:53] {@Threei}  oh, then publish couple trading books in that same English
[13:53] {munky} it might help us, on ebay short, break .80, so entry is either .80 or .79, a true 1;1 gotta be .70 or .69,
01[13:54] {@Threei}  and then meet nemo and deal with THAT
[13:54] {munky} but u were trying .71
[13:54] {munky} many times u critique my 1 penny stop or entry
[13:54] {nemo} right...and have NEMO edit stuff and write stuff, and sometimes carry the humor load in this Godforsaken redoubt in the etherworld
01[13:54] {@Threei}  trues 1:1 is still .70, risk reawrd ratios do not change depending on your entry since it's a market feature, independent on where you got your fill
06[13:55] * fish_49 slaps munky around a bit with a large trout
[13:55] {munky} trying to help u fish
[13:55] {fish_49} just getting even Munk Brother
01[13:55] {@Threei}  munky... point is:
[13:55] {munky} but hey, munkys eat fish as well as fruit
[13:55] {nathan} nice ADBE nemo
[13:56] {nathan} i missed
01[13:56] {@Threei}  break of meanongful support or resistance should be a signal for your action
[13:56] {nemo} what's ur real name Munky....Thelonious?
[13:56] {RonS} Spanky?
[13:56] {fish_49} Spunky
[13:57] {fish_49} what is the rabbit name at the dog races
[13:57] {nemo} o.k.  I'm throwing the flag for piling on
[13:57] {fish_49} here comes spunky?  or is it Sparky?
[13:57] {fish_49} we have  to
[13:57] {fish_49} I mean I have  to
[13:57] {fish_49} I just getting even for him ragging me  when I was boiling  a couple hours  ago
[13:57] {nemo} yes, I understand...it's a moral imperative
[13:58] {munky} someone slap fish, he is ranting
[13:58] {nemo} kick a man while he's down and keep kicking, if he gets up he might start kicking u
[13:59] {nemo} any bets we go out at vwap again today?
[13:59] {fish_49} Kick a man when he is down.  If he gets up, Run like hell
[14:00] {nemo} won't happen if you have a clue what you're doing
[14:01] {munky} sheesh, vad kicked me out of mirc
[14:02] {fish_49} he must be feeling nice  he let you back in
01[14:03] {@Threei}  1:1
01[14:03] {@Threei}  btw
[14:03] {munky} ok, got .70
[14:03] {munky} im at .61 next, correct?
01[14:03] {@Threei}  .60 strictly speaking
01[14:04] {@Threei}  unless tops the balance at .81
01[14:04] {@Threei}  and if gets to .60, we might adjust by a cdent or two, let's see how things go
01[14:04] {@Threei}  tops = stops
[14:04] {munky} so now stop is .81 correct?
01[14:05] {@Threei}  right
[14:06] {goinshort} had to reboot -are we trading anything ?
[14:06] {nemo} yeah....
[14:06] {nemo} barbs
01[14:06] {@Threei}  EBAY is half out
[14:06] {munky} good, i just want to know if im getting ur thoghts
01[14:08] {@Threei}  you continue making this mistake...
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I have no thoughts
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I have SOP
01[14:08] {@Threei}  I follow it
[14:09] {nathan} spike on CRM
[14:12] {nathan} there it goes
[14:14] {munky} so nemo, u thinking/watchin spy my go up close vwap?
[14:15] {munky} my=may
[14:15] {nemo} it's a possibility, but this weakness looks like we may test the low end of the range
[14:16] {munky} ok, ty
[14:16] {munky} cap'n
[14:16] {nemo} volatility picking up a bit
[14:16] {munky} vxx trade ?
[14:17] {nemo} that top on vxx is the start of a gap...it would be long if indexes come in
[14:17] {nemo} I'm not seeing a clean setup though
[14:18] {munky} u see a sh in fb nemo?
[14:18] {munky} or depends on spy
[14:19] {nemo} could use a consolidation, this is a vad setup in the making
[14:19] {nemo} everything kinda' depends on spy
01[14:19] {@Threei}  close GDX
01[14:19] {@Threei}  annoyed
01[14:20] {@Threei}  here comes more selling
01[14:20] {@Threei}  folks, let me share what I hear from, well
01[14:20] {@Threei}  let's call it sources
01[14:20] {@Threei}  on the ground so to speak
01[14:21] {@Threei}  to make it succinct, without too much theory
01[14:22] {@Threei}  1. Ukraine is not going to abandon its EU ascension ambitions, they see it as their only protection
01[14:22] {@Threei}  2. Russia is not going to allow NATO this close
[14:22] {munky} ww3?
[14:23] {_illyakuryakin} east -west split?
01[14:23] {@Threei}  3. All these western discussions about finding compromise etc are not applicable, this is just not the way Putin thinks
01[14:23] {@Threei}  4. He has no respect for current western leadership, in both EU and USA, considers them rotten and lazy
01[14:24] {@Threei}  5. He is widely supported by population where media promotes such views for a good decade playing of nationalistic feelings and wounded pride
01[14:25] {@Threei}  This situation is going to escalate
01[14:25] {@Threei}  there is only one thing that can stop him
01[14:25] {@Threei}  and that's exactly the thing West refuses to do
[14:25] {nemo} coup
[14:25] {fish_49} In my humble opinion, if he just sits and waits  it will unfold his way  without violence from Russia
01[14:26] {@Threei}  that's what he will do fish, if Ukraine abandons EU/NATO plans
01[14:26] {@Threei}  but if those pkans proceed, he qwon't have that luxury
[14:27] {fish_49} no,  then he will be in same situation as Obummer was in with Syria
[14:27] {fish_49} if they proceed they will paint him in a corner
01[14:27] {@Threei}  only he acts on nis red lines
01[14:27] {@Threei}  his
[14:28] {dino} .
[14:29] {fish_49} there is no fear of WW3  that will not happen
[14:29] {_illyakuryakin} but only if there's a coup?
01[14:29] {@Threei}  I don't see any chance for a coup
01[14:30] {@Threei}  his grip on power is very strong
[14:30] {dino} the only thing that will stop putin is if the business guys in russia (the money men) tell him to, because its costing them billions
01[14:30] {@Threei}  no dino
01[14:31] {@Threei}  he doesn't care if they can't get to their yachts in Nizza
01[14:31] {@Threei}  and he showed many times that they better stay away from pol,itics
[14:31] {nemo} they've never seen them anyway
01[14:31] {@Threei}  remember Khodorkovsky?
01[14:32] {@Threei}  for him it's an existential threat
01[14:33] {@Threei}  he backs off, he loses his position in power
01[14:33] {@Threei}  his bet is, West won;t go to war
01[14:33] {@Threei}  just as it happened with Georgia
[14:33] {dino} i think he is empire building, doesn't give a f#$k about anything or anyone else
01[14:34] {@Threei}  pretty much
[14:34] {fish_49} correctamundo  Dino
[14:34] {dino} nepoleon complex
01[14:34] {@Threei}  to get why he is so sensitive about Ukraine/EU thing, look at the geographic map, not political
01[14:35] {@Threei}  look at huge border Russia has, with nothing natural to protect it
01[14:35] {@Threei}  no major rivers no mountains
01[14:35] {@Threei}  direct access
01[14:36] {@Threei}  that's why throughout the centuries Russia saw its security in surroounding itself with buffer countries
[14:36] {RonS} data leaking
[14:37] {dino} don't really think that its a fear/buffer thing. i think he wants to take it and he will take.  trying to prove to the world that he is in charge
01[14:37] {@Threei}  VXX nice move
01[14:37] {@Threei}  buffer thing is what lies under the very concept of influencing nearest countries, dino
01[14:38] {@Threei}  when that concept is internalized as a cornerstone of foreign policy, actions follow
[14:38] {dino} its about power, you got it, i want it
[14:39] {dino} think about it, nobody else simply taes countries. but putin does. power/ego/etc
[14:39] {dino} takes
01[14:39] {@Threei}  my point is, this concept shows wy there is no way to calm this down
[14:39] {dino} he is the guy that takes without payment or penalty.
01[14:39] {@Threei}  as long as EU tries to embrace Ukraine, it will escalate
[14:39] {dino} so why not take some more?

Market Week Wrap-up

$

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market UpdateCold Weather, Cold War



- The S&P500 notched new all-time closing highs this week and not even the prospects of war in Ukraine managed to unseat the relentless bid. Ukraine became a central issue after Russian troops occupied Crimea without a shot fired and the Ukrainian province prepared to legitimize the move via referendum. In Europe, ECB President Draghi was more hawkish than expected and resisted calls to offer additional accommodation or even say the word deflation. At China's National People's Congress, Beijing unveiled its official 2014 targets, most notably maintaining the 7.5% GDP objective for the third year in a row and set the inflation target at 3.5%. Meanwhile, China's Feb manufacturing PMI fell to an eight-month low of 50.2, just a hair away from contraction. For the week, the DJIA rose 0.8%, the S&P500 gained 1.0% and the Nasdaq added 0.7%.

- On Monday, Russia's MICEX index fell 11%, the DAX was down as much as 3% and the CAC fell as much as 2.5% as Europe responded to Russian escalation over the weekend. The ruble was in free fall, prompting the Russian central bank to raise its key lending rate to 7% from 5.5%. At its worst, USD/RUB rose as high as 36.6, the ruble's weakest level since the 1998 currency crisis. An air of unreality surrounded Russian statements about the situation, as Putin denied that Russian troops were even participating in the occupation of Crimea (he said the troops were just extraordinarily well-armed local Russians). The Crimean parliament asked Putin to start the procedure of formally allowing Crimea to join the Russian Federation and scheduled a referendum for March 16th. Ukraine called the moves illegal and promised to hold on to the peninsula. Europe responded by threatening to consider sanctions, while the US is actively establishing a limited sanctions regime and sending token military assets to the region.

- The February jobs report took markets by surprise on Friday. After the ADP miss (at +139K jobs v +155Ke) and various weak employment components from February regional Fed reports, many participants were assuming the Labor Department report would be terrible. On Thursday, Fed Governor Lockhart said he did not expect to see an outstanding jobs report. But in the event, the Feb NFPs roundly beat expectations (+175K v +149Ke) and the unemployment rate ticked up one-tenth to 6.7%. The biggest surprise in the data was a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings, the largest increase since last June, while average hours worked fell, likely due to distortions caused by weather.

- The February ISM manufacturing data was slightly better than expected, rising to 53.2 from January's nine-month low of 51.3. The key new orders component saw solid gains, rising to 54.5 from 51.2 prior. Note that the weakness in December and January was chiefly seen in the new orders component.

- February auto sales numbers are the latest economic data to be impacted by winter weather. Ford and GM both saw sales decline on a y/y basis, although total unit sales were more or less in line with expectations. Sales executives from both firms cited the weather as restraining sales. Chrysler's sales grew 11%, and executives said the weather only helped sales of their Jeep line, which were up 47% y/y. Nissan's sales grew 16% y/y, although this was a bit shy of expectations.

- In earnings news, shares of Radio Shack are down 20% this week after the troubled retailer reported brutally bad fourth quarter results, with losses three times the year ago figure and retail comps down 12%. Homebuilder Hovnanian dragged down the entire sector after it missed revenue expectations and racked up an unexpectedly large quarterly loss. The firm's contract cancellation rate crept up and its net contracts signed metric fell y/y. HOV is down 17% while fellow luxury home builder KBH is down nearly 10% this week. Costco missed top- and bottom-line expectations in its second-quarter report. The price club's same store sales held up well, up 2% overall while US comps were up 4%. Earnings fell y/y, dragged down by weak margins in the holiday season and tough FX conditions.

- Safeway announced a formal merger deal with Cerberus's Albertsons after a long courtship. The $40/share price values Safeway at more than $9 billion. Note that there have been reports that Kroger is still mulling a higher offer. A Deutsche Bank analyst wrote that Kroger should bid and that Safeway could fetch a price above $40.

- The ECB resisted calls to fight disinflation with more easing at its policy meeting on Thursday. EUR/USD was steady after the ECB left rates on hold and refrained from launching any new programs, and then moved sharply higher, testing 1.3850, once it was clear that ECB President Draghi would merely reiterates familiar positions at the post-rate decision press conference. Draghi said that recent improvements in the eurozone obviate the need to halt SMP sterilization. On Friday morning, EUR/USD moved even higher, probing briefly above 1.3920 to its highest level since late 2011. The euro weakened after the US jobs report.

- China has now witnessed its first corporate default in history. Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy is looking to sell overseas assets to make up a missed bond payment and neither banks nor government entities are stepping in to help. Chaori's default took place during the annual People's Congress session, reinforcing the signal that Beijing is letting market forces play a stronger role in the economy. However analysts point out this is only the beginning given that the number of Chinese companies with debt levels double equity has surged since the financial crisis began.

01[15:30] {@Threei}  mostly legal,
01[15:31] {@Threei}  and the rest is a matter of having inventory for a name
01[15:31] {@Threei}  since shorting is borrowing, broker must have inventory for a stock to lend

That was one interesting day. Shaky morning, with a few stops that made it look like irreparable losing day - then win after win, for 1:3s and 1:2s took us back to breakeven, then slightly positive, then nicely positive. FB, EBAY, DE, FCX, JPM, both long and short (mostly short though),  something else out of other universe, like FCEL... all in all, ended well in positive territory.

01[12:45] {@Threei}  heh
01[12:46] {@Threei}  anyone wondered why Putin denied the obvious saying that it's not his troops in Crimea?
01[12:46] {@Threei}  among other reasons, this:
[12:46] {fish_49} y
01[12:46] {@Threei}  Russian oligarchs and senior politicians are likely to escape sanctions over the occupation of Ukraine, Downing Street admitted today. Any asset freezes or visa bans imposed by the West on Moscow in reprisal for the deployment of Russian troops in Crimea will be targeted at “officials who have links to the action that has been taken with regard to the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty", the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman said.
01[12:46] {@Threei}  go ahead, prove it
01[12:47] {@Threei}  wealthy businessmen who are close to Vladimir Putin, many of whom have vast fortunes in London and across Europe, are unlikely to be hit.
01[12:47] {@Threei}  Sources said Mr Putin and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, are unlikely to be affected as the Foreign Office wants them to be free to travel to talks over Ukraine.
[12:48] {fish_49} He starting to sound like Baghdad Bob
01[12:48] {@Threei}  only he actually has military and is not afraid to use it
[12:48] {fish_49} http://www.free-lebanon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Baghdad-Bob.jpg
01[12:49] {@Threei}  More U.S. F-16 fighting falcons will be deployed to Poland in the coming days and weeks, the Pentagon press service has reported.
[12:50] {fish_49} words can't fix it  so we send planes
01[12:50] {@Threei}  planes can't either
01[12:50] {@Threei}  they already said they are not goihng to engage militarily
01[12:50] {@Threei}  so who cares about those planes
[12:50] {dino} poland does
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree but when did they ever do what they say?
[12:51] {fish_49} it's just a show of force
[12:51] {fish_49} I agree with the comment yesterday Ukraine needs Nuc's
[12:51] {dino} they are there to say you get ukrain, but no more
01[12:51] {@Threei}  that's all he wants
[12:51] {fish_49} Another cold war
[12:52] {dino} good for defense companies
01[12:52] {@Threei}  no one does anything about such incursion, that WILL lead to another
01[12:52] {@Threei}  just as Georgia in 2008
01[12:53] {@Threei}  there wouldn't be Crimea if that wasn't allowed and forgiven
[12:53] {dino} agreed
01[12:53] {@Threei}  also, when such precedent is created with broken guarantees for giving up your nukes, how's that going to play in the future?
01[12:54] {@Threei}  Iran gets the message loud and clear - get those nukes if you want to be safe
[12:54] {fish_49} Yep
[12:54] {fish_49} Kim Jung Un will work harder as well
01[12:54] {@Threei}  right
01[12:55] {@Threei}  this us why I said I see no good options there
01[12:55] {@Threei}  no one wants war
01[12:55] {@Threei}  but all the measures avoiding it only create more pretext for further confrontations
01[12:55] {@Threei}  we didn't get here in one step, there were a lot of errors made in the past
01[12:56] {@Threei}  and as a result, we have this situation with bad choices and worse choices
01[12:58] {@Threei}  Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian saboteur in Donetsk Oblast on March 10, said SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko. The suspect is accused of preparing explosions and orchestrating other acts of diversion, said Nalyvaichenko in a statement on March 11. His activity is suspected of serving as a pretext for a wider Russian military invasion of Ukraine beyond Crimea.

[14:39] {fish_49} you sold half just b4 1:1  and the second half  should have been gone on the trail
01[14:39] {@Threei}  yeah, just too mnay stocks on radar, plus early onset of Alzheimer
[14:39] {nathan} yep but i was already in trade when i read youra
[14:39] {nathan} not enough BP

[14:40] {fish_49} you should have been out  FB right?
01[14:40] {@Threei}  no, sold half at 1:1 and second half just under 1:2
[14:40] {fish_49} oh  I got out  and was not watching  I thought it pulled back
01[14:40] {@Threei}  [14:11] {@Threei} out FB
01[14:40] {@Threei}  [14:11] {@Threei} 1:2 is close enough

01[14:40] {@Threei}  it pulled back after that
[14:41] {fish_49} it was 1:2 that you sold just short of I was thinking it was 1:1  I need more Ginko
01[14:42] {@Threei}  Herbalife Ltd. Pershing (Ackman): Company has yet to disprove any of the issues set forth in the presentation - presentation- Claims that research conducted in Chinese markets show that HLF has violated multi-level marketing (MLM) rules in China including violations of how it pays distributors and how they recruit new representatives.
01[14:42] {@Threei}  you need real coffee, fish
01[14:42] {@Threei}  brewed in jezva
01[14:42] {@Threei}  not this drip crap
[14:43] {fish_49} ohhh no  When I was a working man  there were some cubans  that gave me a small plastic tiny cup of mud  they said was coffee
[14:43] {fish_49} I thought I didnt sleep for days
01[14:43] {@Threei}  I swear HLF will be the end of Ackman
[14:43] {nemo} anybody else's buying power screwed up
[14:43] {dino} herbalife is ackman's white whale, going to ruin him
01[14:43] {@Threei}  and he will be proven right after he goes bankrupt
[14:43] {dino} thats what i'm thinking
[14:43] {fish_49} my BP seems off
01[14:43] {@Threei}  - "Herbalife would have you believe that its distributors are paid as hourly consultants" when it is 100% paid on commissions. Pershing claims that the consulting pay is a "fictional" construct based on distributing commissions divided work hours. Says this practice enables them to talk to recruits at public seminars, and circumvent Chinese law. - Distributors in China that were interviewed suggested that they had multiple layers of distributors working under them, violating Chinese law which does not allow distributors to recruit other distributors.

01[15:38] {@Threei}  “A country which willingly gave up its nuclear arsenal . . . and received guarantees from the world’s leading countries finds itself unprotected, one-on-one with a country which is armed to its teeth,” Arseniy Yatseniuk, Ukraine’s interim prime minister, said.

Positive day even though it wasn't the easiest one. Market started up shaky, then got narrow in the afternoon. We did get our fix between those periods and had to stay patient as nothing happened into close.

They need to be much more transparent about what they're doing, or otherwise people will believe the worst. I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform.

[16:02] {thomcbell} gn all
Session Time: Fri Mar 14 00:00:01 2014
[08:45] {vasil} good morning :)
01[08:47] {@Threei}  morning vasil
[08:49] {vasil} How are you
01[08:49] {@Threei}  too early to tell
[08:50] {vasil} yes it isand its friday..
[08:58] {fish_49} Copper Futures Big rally this am.  Just had good breakout of C&H
01[09:03] {@Threei}  Russia warned on Friday it was prepared to intervene in eastern Ukraine after clashes in which at least one person died
01[09:03] {@Threei}  yup... scenario plays out
01[09:04] {@Threei}  MOSCOW - Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday the events in Ukraine proved that Kiev’s authorities were unable to control the situation in the country.
01[09:04] {@Threei}  “Russia realizes responsibility for compatriots’ lives in Ukraine and reserves the right to protect these people,” the ministry said.
[09:04] {fish_49} so isn't there something we are waiting for  from Putin ?  something due Sunday?
01[09:04] {@Threei}  not what most think
[09:04] {fish_49} the US  response due Monday}
01[09:04] {@Threei}  Crimea referndum doesn't matter anymore, it's a foregone conclusion
01[09:05] {@Threei}  US response is going to be "you are wrong"
[09:05] {fish_49} yes  we know that
[09:05] {fish_49} but regarding markets  I was thinking there was some decisions to be made Sunday  and US Threat/Response to that on Monday
01[09:05] {@Threei}  next major development is whethter that's all for now, or Russia will continue pushing in, this time in Eastern Ukraine
[09:06] {fish_49} so my thought pattern is nobody wanting to hold positions oer the weekend
01[09:07] {@Threei}  that will make a difference between more or less peacefil tense awkward standoff and real war breaking out
[09:07] {fish_49} the news this am  was not too terrible  and now we have Mich sent  later in the morning
[09:14] {vasil} So Putin is going in to Ukraine ?
01[09:14] {@Threei}  we don't know yet but all the preparation are in place
[09:19] {munky} morn

01[11:50] {@Threei}  so, as far as I see, this is what market went up on, and PMs dropped:
01[11:50] {@Threei}  (RU) Russia Foreign Min Lavrov: Have no plans to intervene in Eastern Ukraine; Concerned that measures to ensure order in the Ukraine are not being undertaken; differences remain with the West- Feb 21 agreement that was reached in the Ukraine is not being fulfulled - Sec of State Kerry did not threaten Russia with anything; Sanctions would be counterproductive and will not help relations.

[12:26] {fish_49} I honestly believe he will behave for a year or two after he takes Crimea and the rest of the world accepts it by ignoring it
01[12:26] {@Threei}  he is not backing down on Crimea no matter what
[12:26] {dino} i say he gets greedy and takes more within months
01[12:27] {@Threei}  his popularity shot over 70% first time in years

[12:33] {dino} vxx hl l .22
[12:33] {nemo} germany finished up .6%
01[12:33] {@Threei}  Kerry: what if.... Lavrov: No. Kerry: then maybe... Lavrov: No. Kerry: so, we are... Lavrov: No
[12:33] {fish_49} what did Kerry just say?
01[12:34] {@Threei}  that's constructive
[12:34] {fish_49} [09:04] {fish_49} so isn't there something we are waiting for  from Putin ?  something due Sunday?
01[12:34] {@Threei}  - Reiterates Crimea referendum is illegal under international law - Remain deeply concerned about Russian forces in Crimea and along the border of Ukraine
[12:34] {ese} ?....what is that nemo
[12:35] {dino} vxx to .52
01[12:35] {@Threei}  nice one dino

[12:35] {fish_49} nice
[12:35] {nemo} what's what ese?
01[12:35] {@Threei}  - There will be consequences if Russia does not change course
01[12:36] {@Threei}  contrast it with Lavrov: Kerry didn't threaten Russia with anything
[12:36] {dino} yes, obummer will take badly about them....ironically only thing obummer puts boot to neck on is a business company
01[12:36] {@Threei}  market can be very naive sometimes in interpreting these things
[12:37] {dino} take=talk
[12:37] {ese} sesqui??????whatever whatever
01[12:37] {@Threei}  yeah, guitar manufacturer is an enemy
01[12:37] {@Threei}  - Acknowledge that Russia has legitimate interests in Ukraine, need Russia to respect international community to meet interests through international and multinational legal norms
[12:38] {nemo} http://goo.gl/0nGn
[12:38] {fish_49} Kerry Playing it down
01[12:38] {@Threei}  they re just afirad to irritate Putin even more
01[12:39] {@Threei}  so they talk softly and drop any stick they ever had
01[12:39] {@Threei}  for obama all the enemies are within, and they are those who wants America to be powerful
[12:40] {fish_49} it's just military exercise
01[12:40] {@Threei}  can't forget how he ridiculed Romney for saying that Russia is a foe
[12:41] {fish_49} so the vote is sunday
01[12:42] {@Threei}  now, this is what we need to watch for now that the Crimea is done:
01[12:42] {@Threei}  Russia claims right to intervene in Donetsk after clashes as talks to solve Ukraine crisis falter
[12:42] {fish_49} did you know there was a vote in North Korea this week?  100% voted for Kim Jung Un
01[12:42] {@Threei}  yes fish but that doesn't matter anymore
01[12:42] {@Threei}  that vote is predetrmined
01[12:43] {@Threei}  here, it's a quick read:
01[12:43] {@Threei}  http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/russia-says-it-has-right-to-intervene-in-donetsk-after-clashes-339401.html
[12:43] {dino} wasn't dennis rodman running against kim jung un?
[12:44] {fish_49} Kim Jung Un was the only person on the Ballot....They have no other qualified politicians.  well they did  but it was the Uncle  and he killed himself
[12:44] {dino} was a joke fish, rodaman taking basketball team to n. korea last month
01[12:45] {@Threei}  we used to vote for Brezhnev the same way
01[12:45] {@Threei}  and don't think for a second you could sit it out at home
[12:45] {fish_49} yea  Rodman never even tried  to free the hostage
[12:46] {fish_49} said he was into basketball not politics
[12:46] {dino} vxx smr l .85
01[12:46] {@Threei}  knock on the door, 3 men, "our record shows you haven't registered your vote yet"
[12:47] {fish_49} that happened  in America,  Black Panthers did it  first time O  was elected
01[12:47] {@Threei}  well, it's a bit different
01[12:48] {@Threei}  extremist organization vs state itself
01[12:49] {@Threei}  - There are concerns about military exercises on the border of Ukraine, discussed a freeze of military deployments
01[12:49] {@Threei}  Lavrov: No
01[12:50] {@Threei}  you know what the most frigtening aspect of all this is?
[12:51] {fish_49} Russian names are hard to remember...  I vote  for changing  their names  to Smith,  Jones and Johnson
01[12:51] {@Threei}  for decades, historians and social psychologists argue about this mass hysterical lunacy in Germany under Hitler
01[12:52] {@Threei}  how come crowds were so taken with insane ideas
01[12:52] {@Threei}  etc.
01[12:52] {@Threei}  Well, this is exactly what happens in Russia
[12:54] {fish_49} what % of the world GDP is from Ukraine?
01[12:55] {@Threei}  176.3 billion USD

01[14:27] {@Threei}  if no news, yes
01[14:28] {@Threei}  the line of thoughts it seems is: after successful referendum and with the foot firmly on Ukraine's neck, Putin will start negotiating and de-escalating
[14:33] {fish_49} [14:28] {@Threei}  the line of thoughts it seems is: after successful referendum and with the foot firmly on Ukraine's neck, Putin will start negotiating and de-escalating  HUH do you really think that is a possible outcome?  negotiate what?
01[14:34] {@Threei}  I don't know whether it's possible, I am talking about market behavior
[14:34] {fish_49} ahhh
01[14:35] {@Threei}  negotiate what: Ukraine backing down from becoming NATO member in exchange for peace
[14:35] {fish_49} that makes sense... Market behavior on the doubt that it will esculate
[14:35] {fish_49} why should they back down
[14:35] {fish_49} Nato stands for peace
01[14:35] {@Threei}  because if they don't he won't stop
01[14:36] {@Threei}  and they face country breaking in half
01[14:36] {@Threei}  and possible full-out war
[14:36] {fish_49} ok  for now  I would back down under 1 condition:  Get out of Crimea  stop the silly war games
01[14:36] {@Threei}  nope
[14:36] {thomcbell} now looking for some sort of setup to develop on feye
[14:36] {thomcbell} need a bit more emotion

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market UpdateAsia Slowdown & Ukraine Weaken Global Markets



- Soft Chinese economic data and the Ukraine crisis drove a sell-off in global markets this week. In Asia, the Hang Seng closed out the week down 4% and the Nikkei was down 6%, while global copper prices plummeted again this week on China growth fears. In Beijing, the National People's Congress closed with a speech in which Premier Li tempered expectations about 2014. Li said the government was looking to raise the "quality" of growth and was more concerned with employment and living standards than GDP, a veiled reference to the "elastic" nature of the 7.5% GDP target set for 2014 at the start of the conference. US data was not especially good either. February retail sales rose a bit more than expected, however the negative back-month revisions to the January and December data more than offset the front-month beat. The March University of Michigan consumer confidence survey unexpectedly dropped to a four-month low, stoking fears that spending may be slow to pick up from weather-related setbacks earlier this year. For the week, the DJIA lost -2.3%, the S&P500 fell -2%, and the Nasdaq dropped -2.1%.

- The situation in Ukraine and Crimea has steadily deteriorated this week, and as of Friday Russia's MICEX index was down 20.4% YTD. The world awaits Sunday's Crimea referendum, when voters will be asked if they want to become independent or join the Russian Federation. There is no option on the ballot to remain part of Ukraine and observers outside of Russia are nearly unanimous in calling the effort illegitimate. Moscow continued to reinforce troops on the Crimea peninsula and also moved a very large force of troops, armor and artillery to Ukraine's northeastern borders.

- USTs saw big gains this week, with ten-year yields dipping 15 basis points to 2.63%, the biggest one-week move down since June 2012. Yields on 10-year UK gilts also dropped 15 basis points to 2.64%, the largest one-week decline this year. Weekly Federal Reserve data showed that foreign central bank holdings of US Treasuries fell to $2.86T, their lowest levels since December 2012. Most of the big move down was ascribed to the Russian Central Bank, which trimmed its holdings by a record $104.5 billion on the week, 3x the prior record.

- Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae shares tanked on Tuesday upon the release of a bipartisan Senate plan to wind down the GSEs and replace them with a new government insurer. The new organization, the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation (FMIC), would operate in a manner similar to the FDIC and wrap covered loans with a government guarantee.

- The business of selling US teen apparel continues to frustrate investors. Urban Outfitters shares fell more than 6% after Q4 results missed expectations on the topline and management noted they remained very cautious regarding Q1 performance. American Eagle Outfitters lost 10% after meeting already-lowered Q4 expectations and warning that Q1 SSS would be down in the high single digits. But by far the worst was Aeropostale, whose shares lost 15% after missing expectations in its fourth quarter and offering very weak first quarter earnings guidance.

- Herbalife shares dropped about 10% this week after receiving a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Federal Trade Commission. Reports suggested the announcement took Herbalife executives by surprise, and that it could create a cloud of uncertainty for the company for the next year as the FTC investigates its marketing practices.

- The euro stabbed higher midweek, moving out to 2.5-year highs from around 1.3860 to 1.3970 between Wednesday and Thursday, just ahead of a scheduled speech by ECB's Draghi and the Bundesbank's annual press conference. With the euro close to breaking 1.40, Draghi declared that FX rates were becoming more relevant in assessing price stability. Just hours before, ECB hawk Weidmann had reiterated standard policy lines that the ECB should not react to changes in the FX rate. EUR/USD dropped back below 1.3850 after these remarks, but then made another go above 1.3900 through the end of the week. Analysts suggest that while Draghi's comments are not as big as the "whatever it takes" line two and a half years ago, they represent a material change in the ECB's outlook on currency and its implications for dis-inflation.

- Dollar weakness also impacted USD/JPY. The pair peaked late last week in the 103 handle and has sustained a very steady reversal this week, testing as low as 101.20 on Friday. Outflows from China plus sustained low interest rates are not helping Abenomics. The BoJ's Kuroda said rock bottom interest rates continue to incentivize the yen carry trade.

- Japan revised its Q4 GDP growth figures in the final reading to 0.7% on annualized basis from 1.0% preliminary. The corporate capex component experienced the biggest change in the revision, slowing to +0.8% q/q from +1.3% initial, raising real doubts about the efficacy of Abenomics and underscoring the glaring need for the "Third Arrow" of structural reform. An HSBC economist interviewed after the release of the final Q4 GDP also expressed concern about Japan's rising trade deficits. Despite the revisions, the Bank of Japan did not announce or even hint it would consider expanding its quantitative easing program.

- Soft economic data from China was a big negative this week. The February terms of trade contracted for the first time in nearly a year and included the biggest deficit in two years as exports fell 18.1%. Shipments to the US, EU, and Japan were all down by double digits, although officials were quick to attribute the deficit to distortions caused by the timing around the Lunar New Year celebration. CPI hit a 13-month low of 2.0% on an annualized basis. Other economic data hit multi-year low rates of growth, including industrial production, retail sales, and fixed-asset investment.

- After China's first ever corporate default last week, another Chinese company - Haixin Iron and Steel, the second largest steel maker in Shanxi Province - formally defaulted on its debt this week. There was more focus on the firm link between plummeting copper prices and defaults in China: 60-80% of the nation's copper imports over the past three years have been used as collateral for loans, a situation which could drive an accelerating wave of bankruptcies now that Beijing has signaled it will not swoop in to bail out every firm that stumbles. China Premier Li promised that the central government will not allow systemic risks to arise from defaults even as he called them unavoidable in some cases.

- On Wednesday the Reserve Bank of New Zealand became the first central bank of a developed economy to embark on a tightening campaign this year. The RBNZ justified the hike by warning that inflationary pressures are expected to continue to rise over the next two years and domestic expansion is becoming more broadly based amid very high consumer and business confidence. RBNZ governor Wheeler indicated that rates would likely rise another 75 basis points later this year.

[13:44] {vasil} so what happans with the referendum in Crimea
[13:45] {fish_49} they voted to stay with Russia
[13:45] {fish_49} as expected
[13:45] {fish_49} well lets  say that is what the results  say  not sure  how they voted actually
[13:45] { thomcbell} fio 1:2
[13:45] {dino} gj
[13:46] {vasil} Soo Obama say they want to be with Russia we must fight them back ?
[13:46] {fish_49} well  The world  is thinking  the vote was rigged
[13:46] { thomcbell} len was a goodie
[13:46] { thomcbell} gave it away
01[13:46] {Threei}  97% voted for reuniting with Russia... which is strangely low, way below usual 142% voting for Putin
[13:47] {RonS} rotflol
[13:47] {fish_49} lol  142%  where did the 42% come from?  China?
[13:47] {vasil} LOL
[13:48] {RonS} "vote early and often..."
[13:50] {vasil} But Crimea has its own parlament and it is sovereign part of Ukraine ?
01[13:50] {Threei}  in 1944-47, 240K Crimean Tatars were deported from Crimea and replaced with ethnic Russian
01[13:51] {Threei}  how can outcome be any different, especially undet the guns
01[13:51] {Threei}  let's deport americans from Alaska, replace them with russians and have referendum on rejoining Russia
01[13:52] {Threei}  care to guess the outcome?
01[13:54] {Threei}  take a look at this chart and it will all become abundantly clear: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Crimean-tatar-population-comparison-1987-2001.png/600px-Crimean-tatar-population-comparison-1987-2001.png
01[13:54] {Threei}  (UR) US Govt indicates that while its focus remains on a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis, it will review the request for military aid
[13:55] {fish_49} what is a Crimean Tatar? and how are they different from American Tatars?
[13:56] {RonS} Crimean tartars are sauced?
01[13:57] {Threei}  Tatars that inhabitated Crimea since always

[14:09] {fish_49} her words were "We have to approve the bill to know whats in the bill"
01[14:09] {Threei}  which comes to "we speak softly and carry no stick"
[14:10] {fish_49} http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/bkhmd/media/10009292_663967786971872_1795031361_n_zps73bbe5e0.jpg.html

01[08:56] {@Threei}  no... a bit different meaning in russian
[08:56] {fish_49} ok
[08:56] {fish_49} it really is hard  to understand  .   The person who wrote this made Putin sound nice
01[08:57] {@Threei}  they are furious about rejoining to Russia, and they can be dangerous
01[08:59] {@Threei}  nice?
01[08:59] {@Threei}  He called the EuroMaidan Revolution a coup led by "nationalists, fascists, anti-Semites and Russophobes."
[09:00] {fish_49} the article sure seem to want to justify his actions
[09:00] {fish_49} maybe I am reading into it  too much
01[09:00] {@Threei}  it's just his speech
01[09:01] {@Threei}  not an editorial, but "this is what he said"
[09:02] {dino} gm
01[09:02] {@Threei}  dino :)
01[09:02] {@Threei}  "First of all, I am grateful they remembered there is such a thing as international law." - this is open sarcasm
[09:03] {fish_49} lol
01[09:04] {@Threei}  whole part on US and West is right from cold war rhetoric
[09:04] {vasil} Hi guys :)
01[09:04] {@Threei}  vasil :)
01[09:07] {@Threei}  and here is thinly veiled threat, in a very Stalin-speak:
01[09:08] {@Threei}  "Rus is our common source, and we won't be able to live without one another. Millions of Russians will continue to live in Ukraine, and Russia will defend their rights. We would like to be friends with Ukraine."
01[09:09] {@Threei}  key words of course are "Russia will defend their rights"
[09:21] {munky} morn all

01[09:22] {@Threei}  (UR) Ukraine Kharkiv governor Ihor Baluta: Russia has increased its military presence at the border, concentrating forces near the roads for a fast invasion
01[09:24] {@Threei}  Clown time:
01[09:24] {@Threei}  VP Biden: - US and NATO are confident on Ukraine - Russia's actions nothing more than a land grab }- Russia will be subject to additional sanctions from the US and EU if it continues to annex Crimea }- Collective defense clause remains the bedrock of NATO
[09:25] {dino} some defense, economic sanctions
01[09:25] {@Threei}  on whole 7 people
[09:25] {dino} even better, lol
01[09:26] {@Threei}  in a mocking gesture, Duma voted for a motion asking US to spread sanctions on the representatives in its Lower House

On a FOMC day action as always was subdued. Still, managed to squeeze profit, mostly thanks to a nice 1:4 on C. Most of the other plays were scalps.

Session Time: Wed Mar 19 00:00:00 2014

01[09:05] {@Threei}  Other countries near Russia could also face aggression if President Vladimir Putin is allowed to get away with his actions in Ukraine, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday.
[09:06] {fish_49} Could?  it's just a matter of time
01[09:06] {@Threei}  surely she prefer this to be her position on Russia during her president run rather than footage of hitting reset button with Lavrov
[09:07] {fish_49} she would want to lay low on the issue
[09:07] {fish_49} that is what politicians do when running for office
[09:08] {fish_49} Condem the action and promise to stop it if elected
[09:08] {fish_49} She will send flowers  not bombs
01[09:08] {@Threei}  Merkel: No decision yet to kick Russia out of G8
01[09:08] {@Threei}  right... after all, they invaded just one country. Limit for kicking out of G-8 is what, 3?
