Birchtree's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

"While the Dow powered higher banks and small caps (the trademark high beta movers of the recent rally) were weaker on the day. This could be the beginning of a change in risk appetite as investors begin to rotate from high risk names to more defensive names."

have any new sticky pants left, or are they sold out

 

[Birchtree]

Sticky pants are always available - people just don't like to wear'em. But they do have their benefits.

"The Russell 2000 Index has been the only major U.S. stock market index to register a loss for the past week. Skeptics remain the loudest people in the room and while their concerns may be valid we have learned that the market rewards the minority and confounds the majority. Although there may be some back and filling along the way, we have long argued that there would be one last move up driven by investors who skeptically avoided the market. New 52-week highs on the NYSE rose to 601, thus bullishly surpassing the count of 523 on January 11."

"In the U.S. it is now projected that profits will hit a new high in 2010, which is just four years from their prior peaks. This information helps us understand that the current rebound is unique in its robustness relative to prior recoveries in the past century, most likely because of the united front put forward by government and central banks to stimulate on a vast scale."

Birchtree, tell all your minions to make an exit for the G-Fund. I've climbed up the tracker this month, and would like to push some more folks aside before it's all said and done.

Buy & Holders, you need to step aside, you're getting in my way again. I implore you to remove your sticky pants, I beg of you Buy & Holders to please exit now for your own good. This is not a safe market to be in, it could crash at any second, rememeber 1987?

It's time to take your gains off the table...

I see there has been a great many of you who have stepped out to the sidelines. I just wanted to take the time to personally thank you for your previous participation and future lack of particpation. After my glories climb from the 320s I'm sitting is position 248, so the rest of you above me are in my way. Please do make a hasty exit.

 

[Birchtree]

JTH,

I'm counting on you taking out amoeba by the end of the month. He's sitting at #187 and slowly drifting lower.

Thank you indeed, just last week I was several slots in your rearview mirror, Another green day and I may just ass up Amoeba. Don't get me wrong though, I would like to exit to the sidelines, I'm only in so I can set myself up for next month's IFT in-out-in, instead of this nerving out-in-out. Too bad we don't have rollover IFTs!

Why are people worrying about April? Not a bad month historically. I wasn't even thinking about G fund until July or September. What am I missing Jason?

 

[FAB1]

Not really worried about April myself. But sentiment aint too hot for the rest of this month.

And ya I hear ya. I would rather be IN too. but, oh well. If there is no dip before Months end, the yolks on me. :laugh:

Hmm, believe me I am just happy to be out of the RED. But I guess I should pay more attention to guys like you sneaking up on me and all.

I have rode two big dips DOWN since joining this board, it sucks.
If I had just held S fund since Jan I would be in a much better spot.
It sucks to be wrong, but I can wait for another day.

It's not so much the month of April, it's the way I want to start off. If I bail to G before April then I have to use 1 IFT to be invested, then my next IFT would be wasted on the G-Fund.

However if I start off April already invested from the previous month, then I can use my first IFT to bail to G, then my 2nd IFT can be used to jump back in, hopefully buying the dip

 

[FAB1]

And Save the Day!!

I climbed (yawn) another 35 slots on Manic Monday and I imagine I may climb another 34 today. Thanks for the prediction, but alas the month is a different story.

 

[Boghie]

Truely sad...

I dropped my sticky pants a bit on Tuesday. Kinda styling in some scuddy teenager fashion.

How is it possible to be movin' up the AutoTracker in a conservative allocation (40% in the 'G Fund')?

Yuk. Double Yuk. Should be losing ground.

Folks, don't 'Buy and Hold' the 'G Fund'...

Just Don't Do It:nuts:

I see where the Bank of America is going to start reducing mortgage principal for our subprimer minority at risk population. Why not just freakin give them the houses for free and they'll always remain dependent on the Donkey.

"A lot of Elliott Wave analyst have been getting this move up wrong from the perspective of trying to call a significant top leading to a big correction. In my view, there might be a couple reasons for that failure."

Why are you so slow to recognize the plan that's already in place. :cheesy:

 

[Birchtree]

I think I'm going to make today another day in my yard - let the market consolidate for a breath or two.

Boy, the dollar's rise today is relentless! Stocks are struggling.

Bonds should be going up before the end of the day. : )
