<NihabaAshi> Hi all...I have some major cable problems...my ISP notified me an entire area 2mile radius is out...they expect things to be fixed within a few hours.09:33

Thus, I'm on 56k modem right now and will be back later if my cable internet is working again.09:34

I use to have DSL as backup but transfered that service to my condo at the ski resort so I can trade from there during the winter months.09:35
<coolweb> IGood morning traders! :D wjhat a fine weekend it was, hope everybodys weekend was good as well09:36
<NihabaAshi> Anyways...be back later (hopefully).
<coolweb> ready to make MONEY!

<coolweb> we'll trade tomorrow, enough trading for today , maybe if I see another trade I'll trade it, but doubt it

jbraswell: I trade like a scalper with a long term view, so in the exact moment type of trades13:51

it either performs on that exact moment, or doesn't perform at all, keeps risk very very low13:52

<jbraswell> interesting, dan. What is the "received" fundamental view here? I would think gold higher is generall bad for stocks due to inflatin worries...14:08
but isn't copper a leading economic indicator?
just curious
<szubaark_>  Covered all YM Short @ 10915 --> 0
<danshirley> Traditionally gold is a haven for money when inflation ais feared and when other investments are too dangerous14:09
<szubaark_>  Long YM @ 10921
<coolweb> chop is hard, should stay out of the market14:10
<danshirley> But now we have the added issue of gold and other metals as commodoties

copper and platinum are being bid up by China's hunger for commodities14:11
<jbraswell> then, historically, does copper move inversely relative to gold?14:12
<danshirley> Not that I am aware...I'll look and let you know
<jbraswell> okay. no worries if you don't. mind gander at it myself later.14:13
