Well we were up big today, but most of the move came after the noon IFT deadline. I'm in for at least one more day.

I'm now beating all of the TSP funds YTD -- something I haven't done in a looong time. It's still early in the year, but I've managed to skip a few dips. I would probably be going on my 5th straight year in the G fund if I didn't stumble across this forum 3 years ago! Thank you to everyone that contributes!!

Mission accomplished, says Mr. Market. That's exactly what he wanted you to do. He also wanted to give those looking for a little more "confirmation" a chance to get back in. But why? That's for him to know and you to find out. :suspicious:

Mr. Market doesn't want to reveal his cards early, so he can do this. :mad:

I probably would have IFT'd out of the market today if the morning didn't get away from me so fast. Looking like a nice 1% gain for the S fund today. Now I'm back to around where I was a few weeks ago before we fell off a cliff.

Yeah, I bought into the S Fund on 1 April @ 1036.12, so I still have some ground to make up. It's been nice to see these gains even though I'm still fighting to get back to break even...
 
These were my moves this month, using w4500 numbers..

100% in going into April
April 3rd pulled out 100% at a 1,023.43 closing price
April 7th went back in 100% at a 987.45 closing price (skipping a 36 point dip, roughly 3.5%)
April 22nd still in, sitting at a 1,006.93 closing price (19.5 points, almost 2% gain)

Looks like possible resistance in the 1008/1009 area. Hope we bust through tomorrow!
 
NASDAQ futures are pretty lofty right now on all the positive tech company earnings calls. We should bust through the roof at the open. Hopefully it takes the w4500 with it!

Wow looks like a big "sell the news" dip coming in 15 minutes after the open. Hope the buyers scoop this up as a good opportunity to capitalize on good news and earnings.
 
So far we've popped, dropped, and trickled back up a little. Id like to see it trickle up the rest of the day. I've seen this pattern many times before. It's a pop, drop and trickle kinda day!
 
WAIT FOR IT... you know it wont happen till after noon like usual. then and if it moves up it will happen. just my observation.

I plan on playing the "Tuesday Turnaround" this week. If we drop tomorrow (Monday), I'll stay in and hope for a rebound Tuesday and then consider getting out then with my first IFT of the month. If we are up tomorrow, I will assume Tuesday will be a down day and try to skip it by getting out Monday morning. Depending on the action, I may jump right back in on that dip. Either way, I have both IFTs ready to go and I plan on using at least one early this week.

This morning small caps are up strong (again!), so I IFT'd out to the G fund before the deadline. I will look for a lower price to enter, which may come as early as tomorrow. It feels good to be making money again.
 
I did not get back in today. The w4500 chart shows the most recent runs needed about 3 days to retrace before posting green candles again. I will look at an entry Thursday or Friday.

The 3-5 day dip is starting to form just like all the others. If tomorrow is down, I'll buy in. If it is up, I'll bet on Friday being down and buy in then.

I hope you are right my friend. I'm looking at a roll over out of the bull flag: So post deadline I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

Looks like you were right. Issues in Iraq are pulling us down. That's okay for today because I'm buying in at the close, but I hope it doesn't last!
