12%ayear's Account Talk

[mayday]

Tom said this once I'll never forget trying to catch the up-tick of a falling market is like trying to catch falling daggers.

 

[12%ayear]

mayday, sure, but you have to remain postive

and willing to take the risk...

 

[12%ayear]

I had a feeling the markets would pop

its a pure shake-out. No way I am going into the G, that is what they want!!!

I'm thinking the same way!

 

[12%ayear]

It seems someone has to take the lead for the

markets to rally. It might be Asia tonight. Greenspan and China's frothy markets caused this sell-off. Greenspan is just an angry man,who hates to see Ben do well. The overseas markets are way oversold,someone has to take the lead.

UPDATE return+4.58% need 7.42%

The I Fund is way overdo for a rally. The I Fund has drowned the last few days.

Time to fight back....

It has been spanked to say the least.

 

[Birchtree]

You are right of course, but the I fund is still over valued and the hedge hammer funds are not done running yet. I would anticipate a bottom around $21.75 if not lower. I hope it does go this way because the Mrs. is waiting patiently in the wings to buy.

 

[Birchtree]

Secondly, if Tom plays it right, watch him dollar cost average his position as he rides down into the valley - the smart way to gain a position.

 

[12%ayear]

It seems

It seems like a wash with these markets today. FTSE and ChINA up with NIK,CAC,and DAX down. The dollar is also in a wash up vs. euro...down vs. yen. We really need for the US markets to go green to help out Europe,this will shoot up the I. BTW Birchtree, why are you so negative and mean spirited,slamming me? I really have no time for nonsense and this is my last time responding to childish talk. gl at any rate

Don't feel that you are being singled out. Do put on your teflon cover, let any disturbing ideas slip down or flow by, don't pay attention, and if you consider someting offensive or nasty, don't respond at all. Ignore, as if it wasn't directed at you. Other people will understand.... Guys, why can't we all get along!!!???

no problem at all. We are all adults here trying to help each other advance. It is not my style to get nasty. Life is too short!!

 

[airlift]

That's the best attitude!

 

[wht00ss]

12%, stick to the plan. So far you have avoided the majority of the land mines so keep up the good work.

1.2%ayear,

Please accept my condolences - my intention was not to offend but to rather offer an opinion - I want lower international fund prices. What is wrong with that? The Mrs pulled out on 1/23/07 and is patiently waiting to reposition for another run.

Not called for at ALL.

 

[12%ayear]

I lost 1.05% estimated counting today in 3 trading days..not too bad, concerning the markets. This can easily made up next week.

 

[James48843]

12%- you said you are sticking with your plan. That's ok. I won't knock you for it.

We all try to formulate a plan, stick with it, and learn from it to make adjustments to the plan in the future.

It's you're money, and you are welcome to do with it whatever you wish.

I got suckered into one of the whipsaws this week, but have now moved aside and will wait until things settle down. I've lost considerbly less than some people, but more than others. That's ok too. I am comfortable, and will chalk it up once again as a lesson learned. The good thing is that we all learn lessons along the way, and adjust our strategy and style when appropriate.

Learning is good.

Learning will make us better in the future.

 

[southbeachrat]

Well said James...and that is what I'm here for ..learning. Everyone has something to contribute. Hopefully it is all positive. We can all try to make money, but it is more important to make friends and have fun along the way.

My favorite saying that I borrowed.. "The human trait that makes angels cry is our tendency to criticize another persons way of being happy".

The weekend is a nice pause. Everyone seems to be on the sidelines. Looking forward to next week. Tomorrow night should be fun to watch. My gut tells me Japan will rally back tagging along Europe and the US. They started the sell-off in Asia , they will start the buying.

100% I

I agree, but I do not feel that good about Monday. I"m looking to get back in on Tuesday.
