The I fund might see a -FV 0f 23 cents for a total of -59 cents. But being that it's Friday and the I fund had already closed down -1.448%, I would not be surprised if we don't see a -FV.

Well, damn.

In less than a week, I've gone from over 20% annualized internal rate of return for 2007 to about 1.9%.

Yeah, I know the market will come back up. But this week was downright painful.

Generally speaking, I already subscribe to 12%'s policy of simply buying and holding (I'm in for the long haul). But there are times when it sure seems to make sense to duck back into F/G for a while, and this seems like one of them.

Is -.23 the final consensus for the FV ?

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR GUYS!!! I AM TAKING THE 50/50 APPROACH I AND S FUND UNTIL DEC.31th. SEE YOU IN 2008

Ahh... you'll be back once the market takes off again.

I've been 100 (G) since 5 July. My plan is to remain until Oct, unless we correct another 3 to 4% within the next week to equal that 10% correction we've been anticipating.

Don't lose heart folks... hang in there. We'll get it ALL back and then some soon enough.

God Bless

I was only joking around. lol So far we have no reason to believe this is anything more than a normal pullback in a midcycle bull market slowdown," said Doug Sandler, chief equity strategist at Wachovia Securities.
"I think all you really need is some green on the screen and people will want to jump in."

I was only joking around. lol

I'm not that naive, but I'll give it to you.

Heck, we all throw our hands up at one time or the other when Mr. Market is kicking our butt!:nuts:

That's what I did last summer...

I know exactly how you feel......

 

[Birchtree]

Well let's all celebrate and do the peppermint twist. Only $0.19 more to the downside and I may take a ticket for another round trip back to $26.50.

This week was based mostly on luck. It happened to be one of the worst week in years. Many, like myself got stuck in the middle of it.This happens every so often. The markets are no different than a red hot baseball team that goes on a losing streak. The team knows that they have to make adjustments and need some momo from a player or couch getting throw out to spark a rally. Just like the RedSox lately, they sucked after the all-star break and it took Francona to get throw out of the game to spark the team to win 6 out of seven games. The same with the markets, it will take the Fed or some Brokerage to spark a rally. DO NOT WORRY..August will be the best month out of the year IMO.watch!! I also feel, many shorts will be toast. Markets will comeback this week. It needed this weekend to rest!!

After this week........

Hey 12% you really need to wash those hands before you eat that Crow, I did!!

Am I reading that correct? The bucket accepts MasterCard? So much for credit worries!

What a bloody week.

I'm glad it's over.

I moved DOWN in the numbers- but the good news is: At least I'm beating the "F" fund by a fraction.

Let's hope that this week relents a little, and we can settle down now.

I spent the last few days learning about the technical indicators and how to use them. Looking at the month of July, It seems I should have pulled everything out of the I fund around 20-23 July.

Now the big question is what to do with the 30C 25S & 30I that is in place on Monday. I've already taken a beating and now the question is if I should pull out, or stay in?

Here is a somewhat cheesy I fund sheet I created, to help me digest all the data. :cheesy:

 

[weatherweenie]

It's early, but the markets that are open are all well into the red. Between 0.50-1.05% down.

 

[James48843]

And...we're off to a bloody new week:

Japan's Nikkei 300 now down (-1.20%)
South Korea down (-0.43%)

Taiwan down (-1.19%)

China not yet open.....
