With the Dow at +236 my oceanic is hitting on 7 cyclinders with a current $94K gain. If I could JTH to buy more GE I might see the last cyclinder kick in and push me higher. It's still early in the afternoon to put the hurt on the short hairs. and when that happens we could go past SPX of 1086 and Dow 10,300. I've still got hundreds of thousands to go to get back to the April highs - but time is destiny and time is on my side.
 
C'mon girls pump it up. If I'm resigned to a good day then let's make it a really good day. I'd be a buyer myself but I'm flat out of money - not wanting to take out any more profits for the year if possible. But I will make that sacrifice if necessary - can't let the bull market leave me in the dust. There are just so many wall flowers that deserve my attention.
 
When the market went down 265 points three weeks ago I gave back in devaluation $111K - today I took back $114 on a gain of 254 points - some of that was dividend income but I'm starting to see some gains going forward. There will be some comeuppance paid for staying on the lily pad - but not everyone can take the ride.
 
Uhhhhh, we seem to be moving the goalposts....the DOW change is -3,929 now. My 97yo aunt still wants someone to put the money back. :D
 
I only have one dividend due today compared to 14 yesterday - just my luck. It would be nice to see a confirmation rally this afternoon. Anything would be beneficial.
 
Burn baby burn. Tomorrow could prove to be a scorcher if expectations for +20,000 private payroll jobs are met. It's time for the big surprise to take the paws to the cleaners - I'm still looking for that +300 point Dow move to spin some heads. If it happens at least I won't be surprised.
 
Oh boy - today could be sweet with the MACD and RSI turning up to support prices. I think this rally will have legs for the second coming.
 
I just finished looking at the tracker and everyone moving seems headed towards the F fund - what a major mistake. But hey, it's not my money. I won't be standing in the way when they get ready to puke. Watch that VIX drop below 22 again before we close - we could take out Dow 10,500 or higher. It's the higher potential I like.

I'm with you Birch - and, I have two IFTs and a decent starting position:)

If da'Boyz don't take profits to excess next week I will make another move toward a full holding in equities.

Also, it looks as if I will be able to really start investing on the outside. Maybe taxable, maybe a Roth. It will be fun - but, I have always blown it with stocks.
 
You know something Birch...

The recent boom in equites - coupled with the declines in bonds (F) - has already changed my allocation:). And, while my holdings don't challenge those of William Buffet, they are not tiny:p

It is probably time for a turn. I don't think the Obama Economic Discount should be 33% from the highs. Maybe 25%. That leaves a nice gaine to be had, eh...
