w00t!!!

S = + .48/SHARE <- Me
I = + .77/SHARE <- Me

3% for the day and 8.47% since early March

:cheesy:




 
thinking about pulling out Fri afternoon... i'll be TDY the next two weeks to Wichita Falls, TX and will not be able to do an IFT during the morning.

I'm sure the next 2 weeks will be more of the same that we've had for the last 90 days.

Stay Safe in Texas my friend.:worried:
 
Did the same last week -- went to Dayton. Pulling out saved me some pain.

Last time I was in Wchita Falls (Tech School 1979) I was in a terrible tornado in their local mall. They don't call it tornado alley for nothing, and it's that time of year -- be safe.

Well, we occationally get tornados here a few times a year so that is always a concern. At least out there you can see the horizion line and see the storms coming.. here you can only see the sky if you are on the interstate freeway because at least there the trees are cut back far enought to see it.

My biggest fear is being bored to death... although I am taking my mountain bikes an will be on the look out for some sweet single track even if I have to drive to Dallas/Ft Worth to find it!!!
 
Yesterday was the lowest the F Fund has been since 13 Mar.

Dont know if I should go all in F or all in G...

when does the G penny drop?

Bro, I don't know when the penny drops.
IMO the G will never hurt you. Look, your up 8.47%. IMO, take that gain
off the table. Even if you miss out on a big up day or two, you have all
year to wait for the next one. Some may already be gone by days end.
If your out of touch with the market in Texas, why take the chance of
a 3% drop in one day. Of coarse, read my disclaimer below. It's only my
gut speaking because thats what I would do. Good Luck
;)
 
Off Topic:

I got an email from a another enginerd I know at a base in FL and he was telling that he was asked to work overtime and would be given comp time only. The way I have always understoond it is that OT is all paid, but, if you want too, you can opt for Comp Time. I've never seen Comp Time mandated by management.

He's a GS-11.

Thoughts?

I take it he is a 854 Engineer which is now NSPS -- Non Bargaining Unit -- Exempt? They are taking the less of two cost avenues -- an 11 would probably get 1.5 times his pay.....

Under NSPS the payable overtime rate is calculated from an employee's adjusted salary (base salary + local market supplement).
Based on the pay band level to which the employee is assigned, the overtime hourly rate is either the employee's hourly adjusted rate of pay or the hourly adjusted rate of pay multiplied by 1.5.​

[/FONT]The employee's adjusted rate of pay serves as the overtime hourly rate for:

[FONT=Arial,Arial]

[/FONT]Pay band 3 of the following schedules:

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT](YA) Professional and Analytical

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT](YD) Engineering and Scientific (Professional)

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT](YH) Medical (Professional)

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT](YK) Investigative

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT]Pay band 4 - (YL) Fire Protection

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT]Pay bands 2 and 3 of the Supervisor/Manager pay schedule (YC, YF, YJ, and YN)

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
■​
[/FONT]Employees assigned to all other pay bands (including YA-2) are paid for overtime at
the employee's hourly adjusted rate multiplied by 1.5.

[FONT=Arial,Arial]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][/FONT]Biweekly and annual caps on premium pay continue to apply under NSPS, but such
limitations may be waived under certain circumstances (see SC 1930.12 for more
information).

[/FONT]Rules on the use of compensatory time have not changed. A nonexempt employee

may not be required to take compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay.
