Should I stay or should I go now....

I'm 100% I fund and like what the dollar is doing, but we are running out of steam after this rally. I might jump out and try to skip the leg down before jumping back in.

Playing it safe and got out. 100% G fund now. Happy with my 3.5+% so far and will now wait for a good setup and/or cheaper prices.
 
Dodged today's bullet. If the trend continues though, we'll just keep rolling over and head down for anywhere between a few more trading days to a month. Gonna sit on my hands for a bit and watch it play out.
 
Thinking about starting a podcast from the perspective of a Navy Chief. Would be focused mostly on the Navy but a lot of the material could apply to anyone. Finances would be one topic in particular that I will probably cover a few times in different ways. TSP, expenses, vehicles, mortgages, rental properties, stocks, budgets, reenlistment bonuses, etc. It won't the primary focus of the entire podcast series, but I think I'll have episodes here and there about these things because it good information to get out there to the younger kids coming in, and something that I'm passionate about. Got me a nice fancy microphone last week. It's so sensitive, I could hear my wife talking from the other side of the house in the recordings when I was messing around with it. So now I need to find a nice quiet spot to record. Or maybe just embrace the background noise because that's life?

I can't wait. There are a few things I need to get squared away before I can start releasing episodes, but I want to jump in right now. I suppose I could record the episodes and sit on them until I have the other things buckled down. The big thing is legal. Need to check with them to make sure I'm allowed to do this with the name and content I have in mind. I think it'll be fine but I need to be sure first.
 
Jumped roughly half in. New allocation is 25S 25C 25F 25G. Still have half in case we keep heading lower. Also moved my contributions to dump into C and S, to buy more at lower prices if we keep heading down. Maybe I'm crazy.
 
When will the market realize that there is a very real possibility of a socialist becoming the next president? Is that what we are seeing in today's selloff after last night's debate?

If you're seriously concerned about that (and keeping politics out of it) you can hedge your retirement account and bet on Bernie and get more than 2-1 on your money. You can lock in 2.2 to 1 right now with him at 31 cents. :)

If markets believed Bernie would be president the S&P would be down 20%.
 
Guys.... Bernie's not gonna win! ….. hummm… welll not if folks in the middle of the country get out and vote. Would hate to be crying uncontrollably, gnashing teeth and all that ...like the Dems did in 2016…. ugh...:sick: Wait... I take this All back. He will Crush Bernie!!!! Let the Games begin! In Trump We Trust! :D
 
Ha! Here in Michigan, home of the Labor worker, Bernie has a better following than any other candidate on the left, and Trump’s position is much weaker today than it was in 2016. But let’s not turn this into a political debate. You all know what happened last time we started that here.

Smile- we all know markets go up, and markets go down. Let’s all hope we can take advantage of both directions to our own advantage.

Anyone making moves today? Lot of volatility to play with, if that's your game. I'm staying out for now.
 
Life comes at you fast!
