Blindman's Account Talk

Well, probably shouldn't have, but I have been watching from the cheap seats for a few months now (G arage). Work is busy and a little vacation time with the family is making it difficult to watch the markets like I want to. This market definitely has me scared. At this point in time is to see if the holiday can give me a little bounce. Not real bullish on my move, I actually am only playing 50% S and 50% F. Not for sure why I went F, thinking that if the market went against me, I may offset it with F. But if the market decides to go my way of thinking (which it probably won't) than being in F will hurt me on my gain. It was a quick decision as I was making my IFT with mintues to spare before the cutoff. :blink:
At this point, my fear level is going up like most people I read. That also sometimes helps, Commonn folks get scared and the Big Boys make money. We'll see....
Good Luck Everyone! and play with CAUTION, thats my 2 cents at this point!

Blindman Out!
50S, 50F........

Still playing with fire....My original plan to try and capture a bounce play did not work as we all know. (IN and Out) Maybe we can stop the bleeding today! This bugger has got to have an up day soon,,,, Well then again I am in the market so maybe not!!! :toung:
Still Holding - 50S and 50F..... Come on Bulls, where are you????

Freakin, smackin, Lackin market!! I pulled out of the S fund and I see it did the same as it has been doing - Late sell off !! Well, I stopped the bleeding, but sure hate that freaken 11:00 TSP deadline!!! Dang it!
(Deep breaths,,,, In and Out):blink:
As of tomorrow morning I'll be 50% F, 50%G!

Time to go to the Lake......Good luck Everyone the rest of the week! I'm outta here for a few days. Time for a little fun in the Sun!:nuts:

F Fund????? This F fund has me asking the question, where does it go from here. I see a few people commenting on this issue on other blogs, but hate to ask questions from other members threads.:notrust:..
Down today along with the markets (starting to see a pattern the last week). I understand that it follows the AGG fund (Bonds), but wondering what you guys are thinking. Is it time to get off this horse?? Any comments or views in the F fund (going from this point) would be appreciated.
My intitial theory is,,, Market Down - F fund goes up..... but that uneducated theory is starting to not be so true....
My guess is interest rates lower and bank troubles.......?????

GL Everyone! Have a GREAT Weekend......the weather here is going to be Awesome! (About time for me to break out the RV)

Bonds happen to scare the bull tinky right out of me.

Well, I love the Bulls enthusiasm, but truthfully I thought this market would have never made it this far,,,,well I was wrong. F fund has been doing pretty good, but it sure is high and my concern is have we hit the peek.....Sell High...Buy Low.
I guess I just need to put a bottle of Glue down my pants!!!:laugh:

Well for what its worth, as of 11:00 CST, the market is trying to hold its own here at this level. (Flat) Normally after a big sell off, this is good sign being we still are in a Bull Market Scenerio. Retailers have also been reporting good earnings, so with the Black Friday approaching, I am thinking we may see good numbers. No expert, but just what I have observed over the years. I am still leading with caution, but as of tomorrow morning I will be 50S and 50G..
Good Luck Everyone!

50S,50G

Blindman is throwing in the Towel for 2010!!! These days where we don't see much action from day to day always makes me nervous, especially this time of the year with not a whole lot of volume. Markets a little down and hate to get out on that note, but I've ran a pretty good race this year for me. This was my first year to be on the Tracker for a whole year!! Its been fun, its been interesting and alot of learning.
Thanks to all of you and I pray for you and your family a Happy and Prosper New Year! :laugh:

"Jobless Claims Down Since 2008" - I guess I am a little confuse with todays action. I know several variables other than this moves the market, but I am still a believer of the news moves these markets as well. With a title to an article like that, just baffles me. Oh well, the markets will do what it does best,,, Keep us guessing. :nuts:
Good Luck everyone!

Payroll numbers werent what they "expected" but like you the news doesnt seem to be at all "bad". Maybe the bull is trying to shake off more off to the sidelines? That and the news could also have a delayed reaction.

we will see maybe on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Remember employment is a lagging indicator - the economy is moving forward.

Must have been alot of people doing IFT's yesterday. I waited 10 minutes to log into TSP just before the cutoff and never got in. I was going to do it early, but got busy. Hope the market is as good to me today as yesterday, but looking at the tracker alot of yall looks to be thinking higher. Good Luck everyone!

Well we saw a little "Dead Cat" bounce yesterday, if I am calling that correct. I actually was able to capture some gains on a little in and out move! :nuts: (Have to admit though, I was sweating bullets! :blink I am very cautius right now with our current world situation. I think what we are seeing could spread like the plague with all of these mid east country's. I know I keep saying this, but America and the world is driven by oil and that part of the world is crucial, well we think that. (Not so sure I am sold on that fact, we could do alot more here in America, but hey - thats politics) OK, I am not telling you guys anything, I'm just crying everytime I fill up my P/U!!
Currently 100% F fund, my indicators show this is a place for the time being.
I hope all of you have a Great Weekend! Good Luck next week!

Blindman OUT!
100% F

Hello Everyone. I know you guys don't know me that well, but I know alot of you by your threads. It has been several months since I have been by the site lurking for my next move. I have been sitting in G for several months due to a Leave of Absence I have been on. I have been a Fed employee for 16 years and I have an oppurtunity in front of me I am going to have to take a Leap of faith on. I am going to leave the BIG Fed!! I know, probably crazy with all that is going on, but I have to give my next oppurtunity a try. It has been going well and getting bigger. Would love to get any suggestions what to do with my TSP?? For now I am going to leave it, but any suggestions from any of you big talkers would be much appreciated. I will be around still, but not like I use to be. Sure have loved learning with all of you. Take care and I will return real soon.

Blindman, Good luck in your next adventure. I would suggest that you move your TSP into an IRA or something similar. With your money out of the TSP you will have more control over your money. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the advise nasa1974. Take care!
