Z:

Sorry for using your thread for a message to Anidoc. Anidoc, I don't know where we talked about this first, but I believe you were the one who pointed out about discrepancies on TSP total contribution. I requested all quarterly statements for my account, and did get a thick yellow envelope with ALL of them through the most recent one. I haven't done anything with them yet, though. Just want to let you know, it's really easy to get these.

The Yen is shooting up big time and bond yields mixed. This rally makes no sense. OPEX related? I see a sell off this afternoon or Monday. Staying F fund.

OSM markets are closed on Monday, except for Japan.

Just loaded up on SDS.

Good Luck on SDS - that was the worst week I have ever seen or had. The fix is in - when was the last time people bought on a long weekend and held. I will be back in the F Fund Tuesday for all this fun. :nuts:
 
I also received the TSP quarterly statements and have them for further action, as necessary.

I happen to be a packrat, and have all my statements, W-2's and leave/earnings statements. Kinda old and crumbly though, so maybe I'll request a nice new set like yours! Thanks for the information!:D

350,
After you suggested paper trading and posted the link https://www.thinkorswim.com/tos/dis...A0C12530D0C1D21F.tos2_w1c1?webpage=paperMoney I have not had the time to practice.. I plan to start learning how to best use the practice weblink now that I have some time during the weekend. Is there someone already doing the paper trading practice that can give me a short run-down on how to use it best and most efficiently? I guess it's best to practice the dry runs by picking SDS, or another symbol, and use it parallel to the trading day. I just want a little better understanding. Thank you. :)
 
Z,

Good luck with any trades. One of the TA's I follow suggest a rally before testing new lows so don't be surprised. Ultimately, don't fall in love with the upside. Also, I notice Dick Cheney is stroking the Saudis for more oil output. Hmmm, election year, bad economy, high commodity prices, I know throw $400B at the banking crooks and get the terrorist to increase oil output just long enough to get John elected. BRILLIANT!
 
Anidoc,
Your suggestion makes sense in light of the specialized nature of the activity. If Tom permits this it would be great to have a special thread to discuss the trading involved in the IRA's or other private sector vehicles. BTW, I would not mind using the thread recently created by Show-me for this. I am refering to the "Swing trading ETF's with a brokerage account". With the benefit that Show-me already is a moderator. Ideas are welcome! :)

Airlift, good question. That's what I'm trying to do too. Show-me has some good tips in his thread. I don't know if there's already a thread on the MB with this information exclusively. If not, maybe one can be created and locked. There's a lot of good information in all the threads but with all the questions and comments the information get lost in the thread and the majority of us don't know it's there. Maybe as these "investing tips" and responses to our questions pop up in the threads we could send them to Tom or a designated mod for screening to be posted in the "investing tips" thread? If there's already a thread like this, please let me know.:D

Click the "?" button at the top bar. TOS has some good tutorials.

I will throw my 2 cents in on this.

1) Tom wants this site to be everything it can be and most definately deserves some of the credit for everything good this site offers. Even the unique opinions - and information - each of us shares.

2) Show-Me and the other Moderators are largely what make this site so valuable. Ocean has a whole lot on his plate to keep up with the Auto Tracker; let alone all of them having to try to make sure we are not citing information without giving proper credit; and dealing with the HUGE amount of NEGATIVE sentiment that goes with a shift to Premium Services, Limited ITFs, and all the trival riffs that pop up between various members/guests.

So if we are to take advantage of anything a Moderator offers then all of us better make sure we do it in a very respectful manner.

Thanks Showme,

In the past two weeks, the Feds have managed to make the charts look good. After yesterday's close, just about everything I look at suggest that the market might have made a turn, a double is in the making, and more upside to follow.

The few things that says not yet are the $TRAN, $VIX, yesterday's, after the close, selling. The most important thing is $TRAN. I'm sure Oscar will bring this up in his next video. The $TRAN needs to break above the "green line". Although Oscar has never mention it, I think it's the 170sma.:D

If the $TRAN can break this line and stay above it for 2-3 days, then it might be time to go long, at least until after the election.:D
 
Heads up concerning Ultras such as SDS.

In KD's(tickerforum) video last night, he advised serious caution if you're holding any of these Ultras. It has something to do with counter party risk with UBS I think. I will be unloading what I have on Monday whether I have a gain or not.

I made a couple of suggestions and very clearly stated that it's up to Tom, and posting to the thread (if created) would be done by moderators only. To keep the thread "clean" and informative, questions would have to be by PM to the thread mod (maybe it's possible to set up a filter on his inbox for these), then he could post the answer if it would add to the information or clarify something already there. This would keep unnecessary banter and misinformation out of the thread.

I don't see anything disrespectful about my suggestions or Airlift's response, if there is, I apologize.

OF COURSE NOT - MY FRIEND I DID NOT MEAN TO IMPLY ANYTHING LIKE THAT.


I simply noted Tom, Show-Me, and the Moderators being mentioned and honestly have no idea what the subject matter is. Am simply saying that as a group - if we tack on to anything a Moderator is making available - let's make sure we're watching their back.

Hi 350,
Great post, personally watching all same above. One slight mod possible, I think Show-me re-created Oscars TRAN MA-line (as the 160). Link follows, from his post. Agree though, one key to watch closely::)

Appreciate one other opinion - on the F-Fund (the recent, & seeming foul-smelling big Fed actions here especially on Thurs!).:cool:
