I will wait it out and stick to my 1% gameplan...the FV play used to be on of my favorites and it was an interesting idea.

If you figure the high at the open and the current lows now, I'd say that we just saw a drop of around 1% intraday. Does that sway
you, it does me. But I'm gonna check which economic data reports are up and coming. My findings might help me be patient :worried::embarrest:

I'm swayed...and wouldn't have thought the lower than expected ISM number would have thrown a wet blanket on the much anticipated "relief" rally. I have no flippin' clue what's going on...

LoL, neither does anyone else. Since I last posted here, I've decided to sit it out for a while longer. Even my Gut is confused !

Did you change your mind or did you forget to update the autotracker?

Short or long, whenever the pre-deadline numbers of the I fund are +1% above today's close...I am out. If that makes no sense, check one of my posts a little earlier for my "1% Plan..."

My Hope: and notice I am typing in GREEN. The debt deal gets nailed down later today...the foreign markets get a nice pop, at 8:45 tomorrow the I fund is about 1.25% in the GREEN. I swan dive out...

If this plays out it will be a nice one day play, but it will handcuff me out of the market for the rest of the month...unless I move to the F Fund (which has always hosed me). We'll see...

At your levels assuming less risk is perfectly a good play to make. You have a great edge over the markets!

I got you, there's no way I'd do that being down like I am. I can't be shackled for the rest of the month when I'm so far down from July. Ah well, I'm just piling up shares I guess.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is going to leave a mark...

Everything passed and signed and we still get a king-sized OWWWIE today. Bactine isnt going to help this.

Well, if POTUS hadn't come out afterwards and promised more taxes and more spending... well, if he hadn't maybe we would be going up...

It's almost one of those OWWWIE's that a mothers kiss doesn't help.

I am near going into Hibernation Mode...just waiting in the I fund until I get my 1% over my buy in. I think the last week or so has been a complete manipulation of the market by those that want to see a change at the top. I do not go political in my thread (in the sense of throwing rocks either way), but it is clear to me that the real power players with billions in assets want a different conductor leading the economic band. A darn shame all around.

Nope, but I sure appreciate the offer.
