Baby boomers are still underinvested - not me, I'm in up to my nostrils and I plan to stay that way for sometime to come. I now have 134 dividend increase announcements with two months to go.

Sell the news no doubt. Why a positive tanks the market makes one wonder if a positive GDP, perhaps leading to tapering, is not good for the country. As always, big money knows more than me. Lol

My second move now. I went 25f, 40c, 15s, 15i. So when Thanksgiving week comes around I'll drop the f to go to 25% g fund and start DCAing my way back totally in, or that "01% to a whole % point." Ain't that cool. Cos like Ross said, all my stocks went to red today which tells me something about stocks in general presently. I'm seeing a two week drop down "and give me ten." Unless I change my mind prior to 12 est.

Here is what happened to my oceanic account last week: +$61K, -$45K, -$6K, -$94K, +$95K for a gain of +$11K. Well at least it was a gain. I simply need more escape velocity to accelerate past a monthly +$200K gain.
 
Birchtree... I know everything is red right now... But I'm fairly confident that it will change to Green after the Talking Fed Heads. Are you ready for another small boost for the week?
 
I'm always open to a small boost but I'd prefer a big stinking pile of bull manure deposited on my porch as a sign of the bull market in full force mode. There is an explosion coming and will happen once everyone looks the other way.
 
The best gains made from DCAing is when good money is thrown away into a declining asset while acquiring more assets at golden prices - I've been doing that with banks and coal stocks. If coal rebounds then I'm in the sweet spot with my spill money. I'm now dollar cost averaging my bank holdings on their way up to who knows where and I want more coal in my stocking for Christmas. Making slow money is the best money. I never invest for fast money - any time fast money has come my way is because I sitting on my duff waiting for Godot - and then boom up we go.

BT,

That's one of my strategies as well. I expect to see a little more bang in the coal stocks going forward though. At this point, the banks seem to be the safer way to go...slow and steady. Bottom line, we need energy and money to grow the world economies so we need to carve out a part of our long term investment portfolio for them.
