I think yesterdays finish (dotted line) moved -- I'm not sure what the real reading is...
Or not!
Going from 50% G / 25% C / 25% I
To
75% C / 25% I ---- would have gone 100% C but trying to get some back in I
Why? Heck if I know, maybe just a big dummy -- pure gut move
If I can get some back with the extra 50% I just threw in, I might just put all back in G and sit tight for a while

You're not alone in that. Just completed 33 years in govt service on Oct 01, 2008 and been dreaming about retiring. I'm in CSRS and reach my MRA this year also.(Ok, do the math--can't expect a girl just to spit out her age, can you?)
Anywhoo, just wanted to let you know we are in the same boat. Anyone got any paddles?
Paddles??? I'll take some chewing gum or anything, I've got to patch these leaks before I can paddle.. Hope you are protecting the nest egg well wv-girl...
Maybe, if Paulson and Bernake keep their mouths closed!
I'll have to admit, I am too. I IFT'd in at 50% stocks on Tuesday COB and have gotten beaten up ever since. Although I'm typically skeptical when people say it's "different" this time, I'm beginning to believe that it really is. The Fed and Treasury seem to be scampering around daily to come up with a new scheme to stave off collapse of the financial system.
Maybe we'll get a little bounce to smooth the ride!
I made the jump back to the pad. Now it's official - the 1000 point rally will start tomorrow!

Probably a smart move. I was very tempted. I was told markets don't move straight up or straight down. This one appears to be cliff dive....:nuts:

S = Wilshire 4500

"Measures the performance of all small and mid-cap stocks. It is constructed using the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 securities with the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index removed. The approximately 4,500 capitalization weighted returns provide an excellent benchmark for "extended" fund managers. The Dow Jones Wilshire 4500 was created December 31, 1983."

Tks -- but why would there be so much difference thant the Dow itself -- seem way out of kilter
