BTW, just to make sure I understand completely I can move all my money 2 times in one month into any fund, more than 2 times and the only other IFT I can make is into the "G" fund???

That's correct. But that 3rd move does not have to be 100% G. It's just that only the G fund can be increased. So, you can actually make more than 3, as long as anything after #2 only increases the G fund allocation.

So based on the top people the G fund is where most have all or most of their money in the "G" fund. I'm guessing that because of the recent drop in the market???

That's correct - but the most on the very top account had money in stocks when they were going up, and took it out (into G) before the drop.

So if I follow the top people on the auto tracker it will show me when they move their money into another fund right?

Yes.

SJCX,

Welcome aboard. Tom is correct. However you also have an option called <1%. At the top of the "Members Account Talk" section there is a read only account called "<1% Option". Reading this will pretty much explain how the <1% option works. If you have any questions you can always post to my account. Good Luck.

OK, thanks

it will only be a very few days until this web site reaches 5,000.
Do we have any particular Congratulatory Celebration in mind?

Nah. Some of those 5000 probably haven't been on the site since they joined in 2004. I'm more interested in thanking those who are participating now.

Thank you!

Tom,

I notice a couple of people have (+) after their names in the online box at the bottom of the main page, eg., coolhand+, ..what does that mean or represent?

 

[tsptalk]

I believe that means the user is in your friends group.

Tom,

What do you think about the fact that the 20EMA has gone below the 50EMA for all the major indexes ?

[tsptalk]

Sorry I missed this McD. It's back above so I assume the point is moot.

Tom,
Hopefully you won't be bothered by an 'off the wall' question ...

....say once a year.

Well I'm wondering if Kangaroos and Penguins could interbreed ...:worried:

...do you think they'd spend as much time in the water ?

... and which group would most receive them - Kangaroos or Penguins ?

Thanks man -- promise no more than 1 a year.

 

[tsptalk]

My turn. What color were the pills you took this afternoon?

 

[Frixxxx]

Well I'm wondering if Kangaroos and Penguins could interbreed ...:worried:

[tsptalk]

Maybe he should win the first Macke award?

[nnuut]

Wow that's exactly how I feel, what's he taking?

 

[Steadygain]

Well somehow I 'sensed' we needed a deviation from the norm ...

....a break from reality...:cheesy:

...to end the day on a 'good note'



Good night to all ... I've got too much to get back tonight

 

[tsptalk]

It lightened the mood, that's for sure.

Tom,
This is my last post for the week

OK - so my question is:

How did you know to back the Big Truck up at the beginning of the week to rake in one of the Biggest Gains in ages?

Especially to do with the stated confidence you had from the start.



EXCELLENT CALL !! -- Really -- I mean that was outstanding.

Excellent call? Thanks. Smart management? No. I stepped aside for the jobs report.
