Bt I remember you saying the C fund would be king and hear we are with the C leading the pack after the long strong run with the S fund, good call. Your still strong with the I fund so it's all good for me to have a mix.
 
It does appear that we are on a slow glide path into September and that is acceptable to me. I have 105 dividends due for reinvestment in September and golden prices bring me more shares. There are 13 due on Tuesday and 17 on Wednesday - so I'll take slow days if possible. Of the 105 due so far 19 of them have been increased in amounts. The market, however, will easily make new highs in the next two or three months, possibly even significant new highs - especially if a European QE is coming. I'm set to just keep making money, no matter how much the gains.
 
I can't help myself, I just have to say it again. We are in a new multi-decade Supercycle bull market. And it will be fortuitously superlative. Snort.
 
My oceanic account did fine this week: +$30K, +$31K, -$3K, -$22K, +$45K for a pleasant gain of +$81K. For the month of August I made +$309K which actually left me $34K short of a full July recovery - but I'm not going to complain. September may offer me a surprise and another +$300K pop. For the last eight months I'm ahead of the game by +$498K - will the next four months push me to the +$1M mark? Big question and a terrible wall of worry. I think I'm on my way for some Tom Terrific gains the next four months. I now have 120 dividend increase announcements - looking to be last years' 158.
 
I have to get this off my chest so please understand and forgive me if I alienate anyone. So we have radicalized jerks from this country going to help the Islamic State in Syria. If I were young and just out of the military with Ranger or Seal skills I'd be volunteering up into the contract security services and going back to Iraq without any constraints - just pay me $200K a year and I'll gladly be an assassin and take no prisoners. These guys know the country and customs and the CIA has the money to hire their own civilian army. Pay'em well and let them return to Iraq and kill anything that is wearing a black hood. Obama doesn't have to get involved - you know the anger for all the blood lost is mighty strong - let them have vengence.
 
Well the good folks at Tyson done took my (HSH) Hillshire brands but they did leave me with a nice profit that I'll have to declare for taxes.
 
Birchtree.....I have to get this off my chest so please understand and forgive me if I alienate anyone. So we have radicalized jerks from this country going to help the Islamic State in Syria.

No alienation here Birch... Very well said. This problem is a festering cancer we will have to deal with for some time...
News reports say, Intelligence Services are tracking these Islamists, sure hope so, the real threat will be when they come home..
 
A while back my Trinity Ind. (TRN) did a 2/1 split from $84 to $42 and now sits at $49.50 - what is a small investor to do. I know, wait until it gets back to $84 again and does another split - rinse and repeat.
 
It doesn't appear that I'm going to get dividend reinvestment golden prices today, so I'll have to settle for unrealized gains. Sometimes you just have to accept what the market offers the little guy. At any rate I'll take what I can get. Perhaps it's time to do some fall buying.
 
I've been fortunate to receive some golden prices for my dividend reinvestments the last couple of days - may it last all month. Possible S&P correction means buy Europe now. Remember, if you don't know who you are, this is an wxpensive place to find out.
 
Good article... I find myself using similar charts, specifically the 100 & 150 day along with the MACD and RSI to monitor the momentum of the market. I'm in for the long term and use any weakness in the 100 day to DCA in more moola. If we ever break the 200 day, I'm all out.
 
If you wanna talk about a slow start my oceanic hardly budged: +$8K, -$12K, -$25K, +$15K for a small squeeker of -$14K. But I did manage to get some nice dividend buys at reasonable prices and that's most important. So I'll take another slow week if you please. Dollar cost averaging with dividends makes old age tolerable.
 
On a personal note I lost reputation points the other day because I compared our talented Obama to an activity that any dog can do without difficulty. So does it matter, not really, at least I wasn't banned for the 11th time. What is important is that I'm slowly coming up on 1,300,000 views and at 10 cents a view will probably make or earn more money than Intrepid Timer and Coolhand with their premium services. Sometimes a girl just wants to have fun.
 
"Ralph Acampors believes the market professionals could be 'head faked' again, and sees the fourth quarter as a big opportunity. He notes that sector rotations are a function of every bull market, and currently he favors the technology and financial sectors. Ralph sees any correction in the fourth quarter as a buying oppotyunity." That's exactly what bulldaddy will be doing - if it moves, chase it and buy it. The lack of obvious euphoria may actually extend the bull market's life. The S&P at 2000 and holding would mean a total market gain of 196% from its March 2009 closing low of 676.53, putting this bull market among the very best of the last 50 years. I'm certainly glad I had faith to wade, no dive in at the December 2008 low.
