[17:27] yep

[17:27] The need to track, identify, and control

[17:27] it seems others refer to you as, say, Photon Esq., but you don’t label yourself esquire...

[17:28] Photon Inc

[17:28] what ‘it seems’ ?

[17:28] ..it was used for addressing letters in the old days

[17:29] just formal like a wedding is formal

[17:29] Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) was originally a social rank above that of mere gentleman, allowed, for example, to the sons of nobles and gentry who did not possess any other title. A gentleman, on this basis, was designated Mr (before his name) whereas an Esquire was so designated (with no prefix before the name) after his name.

Saturday evening – Let me explain…

[21:34] if the markets are green, i’ll take more risk and take off less

[21:35] i use different time frames as well for momo

[21:35] momo throws out all the rules

[21:35] if daily, hourly, and minute charts line up, the momo is more likely to continue than if they do not align, etc.

Sunday Papers

[18:16] will somebody please confirm to me that this is the drivel hogwash i think it is.  thnx in advance:   http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2095-2189601,00.html

Sunday Times: "Markets ‘are like 1987 crash’ "

[18:19] many have been saying those same things in here though

[18:19] but I think the circumstances are still totally different

[18:19] and - as scalpers and swing traders, I don’t think it really matters

[18:32] thnx scorp, but i just got disconnected by a lightning flash just outside the window!!  the frign modem squeaked

[18:33] since you made it back, I will assume everything is fine  :)

[18:33] yep.  If you look at the S&P it’s nothing like it

[18:34] http://www.wn100.plus.com/Graffiti.htm

[18:34] it’s updated to Friday’s close

[18:34] prior to the 87 crash I remember a significant change in the new hi/lows of stocks also

[18:35] I don’t believe that is the case here, but i have not tracked that

[18:35] yep. we would be needing new highs at the end of July or something like

[18:36] I was trading stocks back in 87

[18:37] me too. i started doing all of this in the summer of 1987 in a hotel by the beach.  And it was pretty much hysteria (going up) every day and i thought it was always like that – the norm

[18:37] looks like a Log style chart

[18:38] I better try a reboot as I just messed big time with my reg file  :)

[18:38] yep. i tried smoothing it out once using the Excel ‘smooth line’ tool, or whatever it is, but i didn’t like. they are the raw numbers. no log necessary for just 1 year.

[18:39] brb

[18:39] hmm, my d/l speed has increased  :)

[18:39] I’ll have to run a speed test in a little while

[18:42] anyway, wth, i emailed drudge with the link

[18:44] ..so if you don’t hear from me for a while you could perhaps send me in some tobacco and a cake with a hacksaw in it

[18:45] :)

[18:48] [18:19] and - as scalpers and swing traders, I don’t think it really matters    -    but it does to the mom and pop investors - the sunday newspaper readers

[18:48] yes, and that part always ticks me off

[18:49] you could almost read hothead pub-room manipulation into that article

[18:49] when all the traders in here just keep hoping for this big crash –

they are not seeing the big picture

[18:49] lord knows it’s needed

[18:50] nothing wrong with pullbacks - but wiping out the savings of ma and pa is not my idea of something to hope for

[18:50] there’s an english stock i want to get into so i went into it’s bulletin board on friday to take a look at what bulletin boards are all about

[18:51] <<< bulletin board first timer

[18:51] no posts for four days! lol they are all panicking

[18:51] all the young dudes

[18:54] jeez how do i test my computer after it’s been struck by lightning

[18:55] i’d better google it

[18:55] just do normal stuff

[18:55] seems ok but my ears are ringing a bit

[18:57] just one big lightening crack right outside the window. i saw it. good job there was no golf on the tv or i would have been finished

[19:02] mcdude: the difference with 87 is that emerging markets weren’t a factor of solid/justifiable growth. Also, there wasn’t the run up with huge liquidity and spare wealth capacity, and finally these days there are many more and efficient ways for the distribution of capital

[19:02] in other words, sure you could see big corrections, but systemic, not really

[19:04] eh

[19:04] systemic meltdown, oy vey

[19:05] ok, crash for those old fashioned guys  :)

[19:05] systemic meltdown sounds better

[19:13] so, according to squeeze, the article IS drivel hogwash, i think..  lol

note: mcdude complained to the Press Complaints Commission but after assessment was told that there had been no breach of the code (something about the headline had used inverted commas). A copy of the complaint was passed on to the Editor of the newspaper by the PCC… The Markets rose steadily for the last six months of the year.

Jinx

[16:07] <`Zig> don’t call me shirley--jinx you owe me a soda

[16:08] he didn’t,, he called ‘is’   shirley

[16:08] fwiw, ofc

[16:08] to be grammatically correct, that is

[16:08] hehe

[16:09] Mac, does that depend on what the meaning of is is??

[16:09] is Iz?     

[16:09] Iz is!

[16:10] does ‘is’ come from the french  ‘est’?  or does eh? come from  the verb ‘est’ in french?

[16:10] trying some shorts here

[16:11] <`Zig> btw: i must point out that during sessions of jinx you owe me a soda...contestants can save up their victories so that trips to the grocery store to pay off debts could be minimized. Thus, after say six jinx you owe me a soda events, the contestents would add up their wins and losses at an agreed time, and make one trip to the grocery store to resolve the imbalance of one contestant earning more sodas than the other.

[16:12] India on alert for suicides after stocks slide’

[16:12] heavy duty in India.. Bombay down 10% thurs, fri.. another 10% today  http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2006-05-22T141055Z_01_BOM112049_RTRUKOC_0_US-INDIA-GLOOM.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

[16:13] i think the phrase is ‘jinx you owe me a coke’  since in the 50s and early 60s,, to the best of my rememberings,,,   ‘coke’ was the same as ‘any soft drink’,,  ie,,   what kind of coke do you want?  answer:   grape

[16:14] <`Zig> bingo mac

[16:14] Gold has turned into brass. We are finished, said S.S. Gupta, a middle-aged Mumbai broker who said he had lost millions of rupees in two hours of trading Monday morning.

[16:15] <`Zig> that is a very good point regarding the vernacular of the jinx you owe me a coke"....i have an answer for that

[16:15] that’s how some very big down moves start..  didn’t brasil start one about 10 years ago?

[16:15] or mexico or somewhere

[16:16] <`Zig> i grew up in the 70’s really...i was 10 in 1968...but really....jinx you owe me a coke is a game played by 12-14 year-olds

[16:17] <`Zig> so...by this time...1970...etc... many sodasbecame available to pay off jinx you owe me a coke deputes

[16:17] Interesting article about India. Thanks MacT.

[16:17] covering some

[16:17] <`Zig> thus the term became jinx you owe me a soda....mainly on the west coast first in the 70’s

[21:36] best one is in Switzerland.. he should have got an Oscar for it.. cakes and stuff

[21:36] equalled only by a huge bucket of pigs blood soup. Prague.
