BigJohn's Account Talk

jumped out...now keeping my fingers crossed that we don't see an afternoon swoon.

Looks like you just pummeled the G Fund for 2015 within a week.. Good job BigJohn!

I rode her down, riding her back up, swearing I'll get out, but like a degenerate gambler I'll probably stay in.
 
Finishing out week 1, he takes the lead

There used to be a street named after BigJohn, but it was changed because nobody crosses BigJohn and lives...

 
Way to go Big John nice move a quick in and out of the market and now leading the the first full week of 2015 on the AT!
That move reminds me of the old "Panty Raids" I use to go on back in college :nuts:!!
Can't wait to see the encore!!!
 
Thanks for the kind words. I decided to be a little more active this year...so far so good. On pace for a 156% return this year.

Well, if your still on that pace after another couple weeks, you'll have a big pack following your every move -- me included!
 
What a nice morning for the markets!

So here is my thoughts for the day and as close to any type of technical analysis that you will get from me.

From 2/01 to 5/7 the C, S, I funds have had the following highs and lows (in terms of share prices), and I have included yesterday's numbers

C: $26.19 - $28.07 ($27.74)

S: $35.90 - $38.90 ($37.76)

I: $24.60 - $27.04 ($26.34)

So if the morning highs hold, all three funds might end up at their 3 month highs. I am thinking about jumping out as a result. Thoughts?

I think we will go higher. I'm waiting until next week. But then again I'm only at 3.59% right now. Was near 7% earlier. So what do I know?

You know enough to stay informed and educated about your retirement money. And that my friend, is more than 70% of Federal Employees are doing. Stay engaged and informed and best of luck.

All I want is more margin buying power to bring me more happiness. Fear will hold you back from making money.

I entered the I fund before noon yesterday anticipating a bounce after the recent pull back. I wasn't anticipating this type of bounce! I pulled the plug before noon. I didn't have the ***** to stay in longer. Hopefully I made my 1% for the month in 24 hours. This market scares the crap out of me.

I made some costly mistakes early this year. I've learned to cash in when you made your money and to not get greedy! Staying long in 2015 is not in my hand. I stink at playing cards anyway!

Been meaning to reply... I couldn't jump Friday, but I bailed the following Monday, 5/11.

Waiting for the next "BigJohn-gut-churnin'-market-signal" to jump back in.:D

It just doesn't feel right, but I've had that feeling for about 2-3 years and the market has played me like I've got "Charms" written across my chest.

I like the no nonsense analysis buddy... Good stuff.
 
Hi! I went all in this morning (G to the S)... I can't point to anything that indicates the economy is in bad shape overall...rate hike included. I think the real battle is between the Fed and the huge investment houses, who want the Fed lending rate to stay where it is. Every time the idea of a hike starts to surface, the market tanks...which makes me wonder about the influence the big players on WS have.

I hope some of my old friends on TSPTALK are still around...I plan on being a little more active moving forward.

Best of Luck to All!
 
You may end up being VERY happy with that move...Gunner has been amazing this year and I just read his latest piece where over the weekend he was predicting the $NDX would back test his "dome" at 4657...and where did it bottom yesterday morning?...4657!

In Elliott wave terms, today may have just been a deep wave 2 retest, and now it's up and away from here....or not, who knows.
My system would have allowed me to get back in today, but I didn't pull the trigger. If I'd read that article sooner I might have.
