    We're in no mans land now, imo. between the 50 and 200 dma and having filled the gap on S&P. We are still in an upward bias, 50 above the 200. I'm tempted to buy in soon. Ideally, we test the recent bottom and bounce. Then I'd buy. I'm conservative, so I'd like to see some stability first.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we go up and close the gap on S&P before going back down. I don't think its gonna be a V bottom here. But, I could be wrong :)

    RSI below 30 is a buy and below 20 is a screaming buy. At least a short term buy. I'd like to see a bounce first but under 20 I'm all in!

    So, part B is $135/ person premium it seems. So, $270/mo plus deductibles minus $600 reimbursement per person for BCBS basic. Part A is free. Sound about right?

    So, to sum up your post. If you have BCBS Basic (like me) you should probably take Medicare A and B but not D. Whats the cost for Medicare A and B for 2 people? $600 rebate sounds good too so include that. Thanks for your input :)

    If we can pull back to the 2670 area or back to the 50 dam then that would be a good buying opportunity IMO. Still in bear market rules though. Most of the individual stocks I'm looking at got very overbought via RSI and that 'usually' means some profit taking is coming. It doesn't mean a big...

    EX-Pat retirement

    My current idea/dream is to sell the house and move around the US, or where ever, renting furnished apartments, for say 6 months at a time. I would go where the seasonal weather is nice. Some folks like to RV it but I don't like that idea. I'm not a boat person either so I'll leave that to you...

    I'll say one more thing that I've learned over the years. When every thinks something will happen. It usually doesn't. Lots of folks thinking a pull back is coming. Including me.

    Its tough trying to time a buy. Waiting for a pull back can leave you on the sidelines for way too long. Been there. Buying a rally can bite you too because at anytime a sell off can take place. I think the best advice is to make 2 buys of 50% so that you won't get burned if it goes bad. We are...

    The RSI values are 63 ish on the S&P. This is a strong reading but not too strong yet to indicate overbought. 70 is a warning sign and 80 is a sell sign. We have some room left but as we reach the triple top area the RSI may be close to a warning area. Hope that doesn't cause a sell off. Plus...

    PessOptimist's Retirement Story

    I retired in 2010 and things were slow and not much communication. It is nerve racking until it all gets settled. But, you will get everything in the end. Back pay from the missing pay from from interim check etc. I had a good amount of pay from annual and sick leave to tide me over. Plus I did...

    Going 25% S and 25% C funds. Got the 200 dma above and the triple top area to get through before we can call an all clear plus we need the get the 50 dma back above the 200. That will take a while.

    The gaps are now filled on that island formation. So, where do we go from here? Fed announcement this afternoon. I have until tomorrow to get in for February so I will wait for that. I’m feeling good about the markets in general. Back above the 50 dma on S and C funds but still in bear market...

    We tapped back down today. Creating an “island’ formation I think it’s called. In this case that’s bearish. I’ll be interested in how this plays out. I’m in no hurry to buy but I would like to buy by the end of the month if I can. We need to hold the 50 dma

    I don’t like the gap up on S&P this morning. Will we need to fill it soon? Also, back at the important level around 2680 to break out of the V shaped dip in December. Plus we’ve come a long way. I’m thinking of waiting until next week to get in. Sent from my iPhone using TSP Talk Forums
