Making MONEY and watching the Pot overflow with gold coins ....

NEVER gets old. :D:D:D



Losing out -- when people like me are raking it in ....

ALWAYS gets old. :mad:



Kay Sera... Sera.... whatever will be ..... will be
 
Still buying a little hapiness: C, STD, FBP, MRK, BRO, JCI. The nice thing about buying power is that once the market appreciation gives it to you it doesn't disappear when the market corrects - always leaving some in reserve to take opportunity of those lower prices with higher dividend yields. I'm thinking about pulling 20% off my TSP I fund sometime next week and then re-enter at conceivably lower prices - we'll see.

I'll be watching for that one. Will it stick this time, you canceled your last one which turned out to be a nice move.
 
Better make that 60% Birch... I know its early, but it already looks like this year will be like the last four for the abysmal I. Take a moment to let those numbers sink in.. I will give you a few weeks/months with good returns though.

Everybody's strategy is different, I just don't have the time and money to wait around for years and years hoping the "old" I fund shows up this year. I got the petal to the metal in this market.

The S is and has been the undisputed king for sometime now. Unless there is a major trend shift from tech back to blue chips, things will remain constant again this year.
 
I'm all set to do more stock buying tomorrow no matter the market direction. Could Barry Ferguson be correct when he says if we get the same kind of effect from QE2 that we got from QE1, then the Dow should add another 50% before the summer and that would put us at Dow 15,000. You have to be invested to catch a ride like this.

15,000 or 5,000 which will get hit first?:nuts:
 
Mornin' Birch

You're pretty quiet today -- soo I get the feeling you're thinkin' this is the TOP ....

....and you're going 100% G Fund today.

Wow -- that's pretty flipped out man.



Well I had a good break -- time to get to work.

Oooh I just thought of something --- if you ever go 100% F Fund...

how about telling everyone --- 'I'm going to get F ed today'.

Later dude
 
I'm doing what I like to do best by being greedy and accumulating more wall flowers: BAC, TLM, TSM, AZZ, IVZ, TKR, AF, HOS, TRN. A good rally today will bring me more buying power for Tuesday - I will never run out of things to buy. I still have more on my buy list for later today. The bull is treating me nicely these days to make up for the pain caused in 2008 - and I'm prepared to maximize my opportunity. Greed is definitely good my friends.
 
It's all just a matter of common sense. I'm adding a few more hard earned dollars into the pool of longevity buying: MSI, MMI, HAL, RDC, TEN, HUN, AIT. Bill O'Neil talking today about the secular bull market - now that's good to hear. The hoofhearted shall rejoice. It looks like I'll be buying again next week - hopefuly all week even if we consolidate. My coal holdings are holding me back some today but diversification balances that out.
 
Now I'm sure there will come a time when the margin folks will say hold up there boy wonder we are not going to lend you $5M to play your happiness game - but we ain't there yet. So I'll just keep moving forward - this bull is going to make me some serious money for the future. That's why I'm staying flat out on the run. I can't wait until next week.
 
Money now appears to be fleeing the municipal bond market - oh glee. We are facing an interest rate shortage which I've been anticipating - now the banks will start paying their dividends again. Once the SPX breaks 1313 next week we are going to have a parabolic meltup which will leave heads spinning.
 
Even Dick Bove (Meredith's buddy in bank bashing) was eating crow this AM saying banks are going to enter a very healthy 2-3 yr period. It's either bear capitulation or an admittance that the bank bashers committed the ultimate sin and were caught fighting the Fed for almost two full years.
 
I just stepped into the market ahead of the news and bought more BP at $48.88. The last hour should be interesting with the banks in a leadership role today - squeeze'em good.

Birch, I'd like to point out a few things for the 'less - seasoned'

Greed - is what makes a person think they can 'out smart' the Markets.

Greed - is what makes a person put everything in 'this' and goes broke.

Greed - is what forces any person to do the most irrational moves imaginable - including fleeing for FEAR of loss.

What you are doing Mr. Birchtree - is NOT based on greed but is based on very solid and forward thinking plans.

You simply are NOT wasting the money you have - by letting 'opportunities' fly by while you dilly dally around and never get ahead.

That's not 'greedy' Birch. It's called using your head and making the most out of what you have.

It's not how much you make - it's what you do with what you do make.
 
Well -- I've got to head out.


Hey, somethings this place can get kind of scarey -- and nothing wrong with that Birch -- I mean everyone can get afraid.


Well anyway -- if I'm ever around don't hesitate to let me know


Goodnight Birch -- have a great weekend

tell the Koala Bear -- she's a doll
