Well, I about had a heart attack around 3PM when all those gains were disappearing. Turned into a positive so.... still not certain I should remain in the S fund but I now have to wait this thing out for a couple of days.

Hopefully the TSP will have a bounce up from todays market movement.
 
Appatite Im in the same boat as you are. It could be a good thing though if we move up steady-like rather than shooting the moon and crashing.
I will take my paltry .60 gain, and hopefully add to it.

I was actually hoping for another down day so I could jump in I'm glad nobody got burned today. ;)
 
jp, that's not very nice of you. But I understand.

fab1, right now you are sitting at 7.2%, so I have to look up to you. Although the autotracker does not show it, because I joined in February, I am actually sitting at 5% for this year. I just looked at last year for me which at this point, in July, I was a negative 1%. By next month last year I was actually negative 3%. So, I am way ahead compared to last year and that makes me happy. Problem is that I was just under 7% total for last year which is really unacceptable. I need to get to that 7% by the end of this month. Really. Really. So lets both hope this S fund has some legs in the next couple days. I don't see myself in it the rest of the month unless something extraordinary happens, like jth, lat and several other big timers jump in.

I love the comments people leave.Las Vegas just reduced the odds from 12-1 to 8-1 that there will be a default.Heres my comment: Theres no need to fear...QE3 is here. Right , ha ha ha. If this Moody Blues stuff does effect the market it should be short lived. Probably wont even be a blip on the screen.

Hey, I'd love to believe today is an up day. But as much as we think it is already factored in, investors will always factor in more.
 
Well, so far, today looks promising. I told myself that I wanted to make 2 percent before I got out. Currently at 1% for the month. Now, I may be able to be there if we end to day high. Cross fingers. But I am getting that greedy feeling which always bites me in the backside. I keep hearing that voice "stay in". I want a way out but I am watching more people trying to get back in.

I appreciate the sentiment but I screwed myself.

I listened to what people had said on this forum. Or not.

What I kept in mind was that you should set a goal with every trade. Post #57 on this thread states that goal at a short in and out when I hit 2-3% gain. The time was perfect to get out and I shot myself in the foot. Circumstances will not allow me to make a move tomorrow, good or bad, as I will be camping starting tonight. So I have to either sit on it or move out right now. Moving out right now is not any sort of option I want to think about. Which now leaves me with option #2. Leave it in S for the weekend and hope for the best.

The other factor that helped screw me was the 2 IFT's. I want so badly to be in the S fund prior to the start of the month I second guessed myself. But I just know that next week is going to see big returns. Ok I don't know it, it is one of those feelings. The only thing going for me is that some of the big guys are moving back into the S fund. Gives me some hope. oops, did I just use that four letter word again?:sick:
 
The only other thing I got going for me right now is that I believe in Dow 13,000 and S&P 1370/1380.

Maybe I have a day or two left.

Starting tonite don't think about it. Enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. The market is not going anywhere. Enjoy.

Me too - time to test the May Highs. Now if I was going camping, the technology is available to access the internet just about anywhere in the lower 48. Im sure I could make that IFT tomorrow with my smartphone -- the question is would I remember! ha ha!

I have been waiting on the iPhone 5. It seems to be getting held up for some reason.
 
So? What's the likelyhood of getting back that 1% loss from yesterday, today?

I'm just hoping (not a 4 letter word). :D
