1965Vintage's Account Talk

Going back to the G Fund at the COB today, Tuesday 08/15/2017.
Hoping for a 3/4% rise in the S fund today. That will give me a 2% gain in 2 days! Oh the suspense!

 

[1965Vintage]

Well, yesterday didn't turn out like I planed. I should have done the C Fund instead. Ended up with a .75% gain, which is better than nothing.

Moved everything into the F Fund, COB 09/25/2017. F Fund looks ripe for a bounce.

Also bought some BOTZ for a long term hold at $21.28 for my personal Roth IRA.

Went back into the G Fund Friday. I don't know enough about how the F Fund works. I wasn't thinking right when I got in it. I will just sit like a buzzard and wait for some kind of pullback in the SPY.
I do know I want to be long the C Fund by the time November gets here.

 

[1965Vintage]

Well, I've thought about it hard. I've looked at all the money I didn't make by just staying in the market all this time and it just makes me sick.

So, I'm all in the C fund as of COB today, 10/05/2017 and I also moved my contributions to the C fund as well.

I have 13 years to go till I will even consider retirement so I'm just gonna quit trying to beat this market and stay in it and dollar cost average.

With thirteen years to go I think that is a wise decision. :smile: I'm in 74% in C and S and have been retired for four and a half years! Best wishes! :smile:

Howdy all,
I thought I would update my personal investments as it's been awhile since I've posted here.

I my personal Roth I am now holding the following ETF's:
BOTZ
BLOK
BUZ
MJX
LIT

I also shapeshifted all my Bitcoin into Ethereum about 6 weeks ago, which turned out to be a very good move.
From my research I believe that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin in Market cap sometime in the next year or so.

I'm hoping my tax refund will be a good one this year. I plan to put all of it in my ROTH and add to all 5 of my ETF positions.

Another update to my personal Roth.

After making a nice contribution for 2018 I sold BUZ because the lack of volume/Liquidity.
I also sold MJX and LIT due to under performance.

Current Roth allocations are:

50% in BLOK - (Blockchain ETF)
30% in BOTZ - (AI and Robotics ETF)
20% in HACK - (Cyber Security ETF)

I am somewhat over weighted in BLOK, but for now feel like it is a good place to be. BLOK is actually a really good large cap Tech ETF as well as a Blockchain play.

As for my Crypto investments. I changed everything back into Bitcoin and spent it all at Overstock.com. I made a real good profit but decided to not get greedy and take my profits.
If Bitcoin falls back to $2,000 I will buy more, but for now I am out of the Crypto market. I just don't like the way things are acting. I am, however, a firm believer in Crypto and Blockchain.
But for now I see Governments doing everything possible to stop it. They will fail of course. But they may do considerable damage before it all pans out.
I will be watching and waiting for another good entry point.

don't be fooled. the govt's want blockchain for it will allow them to go to a cashless world and they can track and tax everything. total control they will have.

Oh my goodness.

I have a really bad feeling about where the market is going to go from here. And I'm trapped in the C Fund. It's so hard to watch thousands disappear from your retirement account everyday.
Should have just stayed in the G Fund. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
Even my Roth is getting hammered.
Oh well, I was planning to work till I'm 70 anyway. I guess now I'll have too.

I'm right there with you. That's why I've been saying that I won't be retiring when I'm eligible in 2022. I can't afford it.

We're not alone. Go talk to some of the old timers at Lowes or Home Depot some time. A number of them were folks who retired and then discovered they couldn't afford retirement yet. Often because of health care costs.

At least we know now that we have to keep working so I'll keep my day job thank you. I'm hoping it will only be another 5 years but will have to see when I get there. If my track record keeps up like this I may be joining you in the 70 club.
