    Foghorn's Account Talk

    In February, splitting my allocation between the C and I funds worked out Okay - just Okay not really as well as I hoped. However, the tactic kept my account from absorbing the full dips but the climb back up was slower than being in just one fund. So, it had some ups and some downs - pun...

    I'm splitting my allocation for the rest of February. The C and S are reaching the top bollinger band and volitility is showing it wants to climb. I have one move left but I don't want to exit the market completely for the rest of the month. So, I'm spliiting the chance of rising volitility...

    Foghorn's Account Talk

    The last two days have been a heck-of-a roller coaster ride-straight down. It's going to be hard to comb my hair back down. I kept 50% in the S Fund and I still took a big hit. I expected some downside movement but I didn't expect that much. I did not want to be completely out of the market...

    This looks like the re-entry point; I will jump in the market today. I expect to see a bump up from the Jobs Data tomorrow - Friday and I want to catch it. I also expect to see today's downward drop stablize and turnaround slightly. Foghorn

    I'm currently in the G Fund and I'm looking for an entry point. The Stochastic (Sto) for the SPX is the strongest of the three funds, the EFA (what I watch to track the I Fund) has the worst stochastic. The Sto for the EMW (S Fund) is failing. Therefore, I'm going to watch today's market to...

    Today's move up was too fast and too much. I like the movement up, but the S Fund hit the upper bollinger band. So I moved out by noon. The price backed off in the afternoon and closed just below the top band. If the price had closed above the band then I would have expected it to drop...

    This year, my resolution is to stay informed of the market actions, to keep on eye on it, and to not simply stand by when steep drops happen. There I wrote it so now I have to follow it. Foghorn.

    When I made the move in Oct the fund did drop and almost touched the 18 day moving average. However, the drop occurred the day I entered the move and I caught the downward trend and then the TSP made my move that night. So, the daily moves happen too fast to try and time them. So, I think I have...

    I'm going to start using my account talk to track my moves to help me figure out what I'm doing right and wrong. S Fund: I made a move out of the S Fund today to the G fund. I'm using $EMW in Stockcharts.com to track the S Fund. The fund is in an up channel and I expect it to continue moving...

    I'm back in the game. I took a beating in 2008 and 2009. So, I spent the last two years studying how the market works. I intend to keep up with the ups and downs. Here's a thumbs up to this year. Foghorn

    This was one of those days that you just have to say, "Ouch." I wasn't expecting a drop such as we got. I was expecting to see some choppiness but not a straight, steep, downward drop. Only the end of the trading day stopped the bleeding. The markets gave back everything they gave us...
