Birchtree's Account Talk

Hey big brother :)

I hope everything is going well with you - the wife - buzz and all.

I put $20,000 into a Discover Bank Account that should go through today, or tomorrow at the latest. It gives 1.15% and is FDIC insured for up to $250,000 to $1,500,000 depending on your standing.

The way I see it - is any figure above $20K or near that range should be in investments outside of a Savings Account so even if I had that kind of money I would never have it as just as a cash fund.

The TSP Stuff is different for me Birch - because I'm not watching it day to day - and in fact I hardly watch it at all. I simply looked at what I had on the big day and know I've got thousands over that now.

I'm staying fully invested for the long run because we have yet to really feel things are now doing great and I think it's going to be a good while before the Real BULL MARKET 'feel' takes over. In the mean time we have most definately climbed up from the bottom and at the worst we'll have a lot of side ways action. But I personally see nothing but GROWTH for the years to come - and at some point 'Super Growth'.

Well - things are honestly a million times better than I could ever have even hoped for and life is more wonderful than I thought it could be.

Take care my brother and friend. I'll stop by once in awhile and maybe even post a few pictures in the lounge.

Love ya man,

Steady


Oh and my love and the best regards to everyone else
 
You are like the Vix.

BT doesn't post too much = market doing good.

BT post more = market isn't doin so good so it's time to pull out the Positive Press Machine.

BT is in the garden = It's a bad bad day :D

Thanks to you JTH I dont have to really understand the VIX, I'll just check to see if Birch posting go-lightly or is mowing his lawn. :laugh:
 
I had six dividend reinvestments yesterday and another eight are due for reinvestment today - so I can't complain about this kick in my sticky pants. The stock market is setting up like a springboard right now - so patience is necessary.

"Elevated oscillators with negative divergences on the MACD, RSI, and Stochastics make for a scarry outlook." Run while you still have legs.

"Don't worry there are some strong indications that the bull market in U.S. stocks is still very much intact." I'm not moving.

Well the day worked out somewhat the way I wanted it to - except for that silly I fund fair value. They just like to diddle with that fund. Perhaps the money returns tomorrow.

Me too, except I would have preferred to close at the day's low. The afternoon rally kind of hurt.
 
BT, perhaps your I-Fund allocation (you know the one that's been dragging you down) is ready to make a comeback. :)
 
Those goobers that sank me two weeks ago to the tune of $180K are now starting to pull me back up; coal and drillers. I'll hold the I fund because I think it's the right place to be going forward - ignoring the silly fair value nonsense. If the market is ready to make a turn to the upside it could very well be explosive - ten trading days of get me in at any price will be the cry from the bond wilderness. You have to know that monetary stimulus is still at work and will continue to be at work.
 
I think I'll put Cisco (CSCO) on my buy list - it appears ripe for the long haul purchase. It's my kind of purchase as a wall flower. I already own Sysco (SYY).

csco worse company i think..they own 90% of world router and switch yet their stock seen more downs then up
 
Sometimes I wonder what all the babble is about over there in Intrepid Timer's Investment Strategies - but I'm not curious enough to join up. Could it be that things like small caps lead a bull market early on reach a period at some point when they start to run out of steam. Nonsense, Intrepid would never abandon the S fund. What was I thinking. Could they be discussing the go away in May and select the F fund - nah, that may just be the exact opposite thing you should do. Well I hope they all make money regardless.
 
law87,

That's exactly my point. Buy'em when they are thrown away by others. CSCO will be like the Phoenix in another year ot two - that gives me plenty of time to DCA a base and accumulate some depth of shares without over extending.

Have you been doing the same thing with INTC? I have held them for 10 yrs now in a DRiP. Still waiting for them to get back to $100/share. :cheesy:
