BamaAF's Account Talk

Maybe the low has been tested a couple times today?

 

[BamaAF]

Train not stopping at my stop today - was hoping to see some green and get out for the month - may be a mistake to wait it out and hope Monday is the day

 

[BamaAF]

What a ride1!!!! Up and Down all day -- ended up in green, wish I would have suspected that at noon - hopefully will find that exit door Monday

 

[BamaAF]

Should have gone to G yesterday I think - but at 11 Central it was still slogging around zero --- pob need to go ahead and bit the bullet today, but I hate to exit and then it go down and I lock in the loss

 

[BamaAF]

Confusion with BamaAF - my trackers say S fund has squeezed (barely) into green - but I see DOW is down big -- my tracker accurate????

Our S Fund is not the DOW. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is only 30 stocks. Our S Fund is the US Stock Market minus the S&P500. S Fund is basically Small Caps + Mid Caps.

Thanks - what I am used to seeing is the S fund lagging the DOW by about 10% or so, so "assumed" S fund would be about 10% worse than DOW this morning

 

[BamaAF]

DOW and S Fund like two magnets pushing each other away - DOW going up and S going down - over .80% difference right now

 

[BamaAF]

Whole lot of gloom and doom regarding the market and Cohen -- We will see

 

[BamaAF]

Down, down, down - wonder just how far the S and C are going to fall and for how long

 

[BamaAF]

Just like clockwork - the after lunch sell

"Just like clockwork - the after lunch sell"
Reverse that!

 

[BamaAF]

Had forgot what that looked like

 

[pmaloney]

Nice job NNUT! :smile:

 

[BamaAF]

Let's try this again - I will be negative in hopes the opposite happens...

The market is popping too early - no way it will hold out till close!

 

[BamaAF]

Down just North of 4% for October -much worse until last two days... sitting just above 3% positive for year now (instead of the 7.4 just a few weeks ago). Need to average 6% per year to have my TSP last until mid 80's (retired 3 years ago at 56). Bad as I hate licking my wounds, if today looks posiive at 11 central I think I will move to G and give market a chance to fill in the gaps and do a wait and see on market reaction to Tuesday. This would be bullet number 1, so I could jump back in if it looks positive after Tuesday. Hopefully will get a good chance to exit today. Good luck everyone.

Exiting to G COB today - plan is to re-enter COB next Friday (after elections) - Good Luck All
