Boghies Account Talk

What Happened, why is this happening...

Geez,

Two days ago some dumb security setting (or, more likely the exemplary performance) precluded my fine NMCI seat from being the tool of personal wealth - its crapout prevented me from pulling the trigger on a forward IFT trade. That trade sure would have looked nice about now...

Now, I show up early only to be told to man the help(less) desk. And, I had a morning doctor appointment that lasted two hours. The end result, no IFT. I just wanted another 10% in. Just another 10%. Now, I am going to wait till Friday morning to make the move. I hate mixing IFTs with contributions. Makes a mess of my Quicken account management.

Anyway, looks like a good day for Steady and the other Gutsy Investors - those who moved 100% in. You all watch too many poker competitions

Uuuggggghhhhhh,

KevinD, your right. I have never actually called in. I was sitting around waiting for a phone to ring and then waiting for my doctor and then waiting...

I think that number is even on the card I carry in my wallet.

I think your avatar fits my mood perfect!!!

Oh well, live and learn...

Doing It Behind the Green Door

Well,

The promising and whining on my part is starting to sound like a politician. I was going to make a small DCA today - but the network crapped out. Going to do it tomorrow - got moved around.

While I hate to make an IFT that will not take hold til 0900 EST on Friday I think it is even dumber to wait. What will tomorrow bring. A big up - maybe I'll try to buy on a dip. A big dump - maybe I'll market time a new bottom. Never been real good on market timing. Always too early - which isn't real bad, but...

Got to start moving back to a proper allocation.

G: 35%
F: 40%
C: 15%
S: 10%
I: 0% - Seen a picture of PM Brown lately.

Yeah, yeah, I know its only a 10% move. But, I don't want my monthly IFTs to be backward facing trades. Another DCA will take place in a week or two. Wow, a 20% move. My normal allocation is 80% C/S/I, 20% G/F. So, if things keep improving I'll just need another 3 months :nuts:

Later

That's pretty good..... just noticed the title to your post.

It's so hard to tell how the day is really going to end

If we have a really good start of like 2% and it continues moving up like the I FUND did throughout the day today

THEN I'M BAILING BACK TO G - and Locking the GAINS

but don't tell anyone..cause I don't want them copying me

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE - AND TO ALL THAT WERE IN ------ BE IN TO WIN ---- GREAT JOB!!!!

The Student of Spendulus is Now the Master of Spendulus

Re(1): 'Monthly Treasury Statement', The U.S. Department of Treasury


President Bush Deficit Totals (Eight Years): $ 2,002,079
President Obama Deficit Totals (One Year): $ 1,750,000

President Obama has just authorized running a single year deficit that is 82% of President Bush's entire deficit accrued over eight years as President. President Bush did not play a part in the $840 Billion dollar Spendulus bill. President Bush did not play a part in the $410 Billion dollar Son of Spenulus. President Bush has not played a part in spending anything since President Obama gained control of the government.

President Obama, this thing is yours...

Panic!!!

Nobody bullish out there in MB Land??? Call that capitulation???

It's time to get the emotion out of the equation.

I think I will set up a DCA from G/F into C/S on the following marks:

S&P: 626
C: $7.03
C/S%: 30%
Account Losses from High: 26%

S&P: 548
C: $6.15
C/S%: 35%
Account Losses from High: 32%

S&P: 470
C: $5.27
C/S%: 40%
Account Losses from High: 35%

Can I sleep at night losing 35%? When the 'C Fund' has lost 70%?

Regardless, I need to develop and write a plan so that I take emotion out of it...

 

[Boghie]

BullS@!T Market...

Have to be in the market. This 'recovery' seems rather wide right now. Too many smart folks in the TSPTalk community moving assets to C/S/I for me to ignore the 2x4 to the head.

My previous post was for a declining market, never thought I would have to buy on a dip - which will probably occur today...

G: 25%
F: 40%
C: 25%
S: 15%
I: 0% - Seen a picture of PM Brown lately.

Reallocated assets from G to C/S because this is my final monthly IFT. If I have to bail I will be forced to bail to the 'G Fund'. Why mess with my allocation balance after the inevitable panic to the Lilly Pond. :embarrest:

Extremely Ignornat Folks Yakking - My Personal Bailout

I was hoping not to hear from our CongressCritters or the Administration for another week.

I guess it was just too much.

Truely ignorant folks do not know what they do not know. Openning mouth, inserting foot.

G: 62%
F: 38%
C: 0%
S: 0%
I: 0%

These Senators should simply shut up. They blow more money in a minute than AIG blows in a year. And, later today these sods are going to yammer at Bernanke. On Friday Obama opens his yak...

 

[Boghie]

Investors, Trying to Find...

Looking at some of the indexes...

I am no expert, but it seems to me that money is trying to find a way out of Obama's America and Bernanke's dollar.

But, to where?

Nothing out there is very palatable; so it might be some other nation's cash or illliquid assets like gold/silver/oil.

 

[Boghie]

Just saw the horse, time to close the door...

I am never completely out of the market, but I was too cute by half. Thought I timed the market perfectly. Oh well...

Looking on the bright side, I get to make my first < 1% reallocation. Let's see what happens...

G: 59%
F: 38%
C: 1%
S: 1%
I: 1% - Ain't seen much of Prime Minister Brown lately, he might be watching movies from his DVD set:cheesy:

 

[Boghie]

Moving another 3% into the market

Slow and Steady return to market. May miss a lot of this growth period

G: 57%
F: 37%
C: 2%
S: 2%
I: 2% - Hopefully the British Treasury will bang some sense into Browns head

 

[Boghie]

Please; Obama, G, and Brown - Hide for a couple of days

Leg's in the water - but, is that a candy bar or a turd floating in the pool?

G: 60%
F: This ain't looking too good. Who wants Treasuries now???
C: 20% - Buying on a dip
S: 10% - I'll be the dip if the Bama or Treasury open their yak
I: 10% - PM Brown, just watch the DVDs the Bama gave you.

Living on the edge. The economy is still shaky, but improving. The politics are still shaky but cratering. A new kinda risk. The Banana Republic risk. But, maybe the Bama will surprise and roll out a new car for Government Motors!!!

 

[Boghie]

I Don't Know What's Going On...

I'm glad nobody follows my lead...

Looks like tomorrow will be miserable. Today looked to be a dip, but I think I became the dip. Maybe folks all thought they could get in on the cheap. If so, than the smart money will move out soon enough. That late downside move is a tell in this market.

This economic and political environment does not seem to imply a sustained bull market. Quite the opposite. And, I think I just chumped myself.

We shall see...

Here's a little read for you to lift that chin.

"We are in a stocks bull market that bottomed at Dow 6470. The market has done nothing other than support this treadeable conclusion. Fundamentals are not important at market junctures."

BirchTree - Hope Your Right!!!

For some reason, I don't think I'll have too many buyers for my new

Market Timing Newsletter, vol 1

Boghie bought on a dip inside a mini-bull of a long term bear market. Dip did not dip. Boghie became the dip. Dip may turn into a dump. Boghie should have bought into the hotel room mini-bar instead of his retirement fund's mini-bull.

(Ed) At least Boghie is an honest (but still bad) Market Timer. Maybe you can use this as a contrarian data point. [Phony Quote Warning:toung:]

Remember, I'm still behing the 'G' Curve.

Uhhh, still haven't found the 'G' Spot.

I'll stop now.

 

[KevinD]

You look like a genius compared to me...and if you don't stop that whining Squalebear will be the only one who'll talk to you. Ask me how I know. :laugh:

[Birchtree]

Boghie,

I can provide reliable information on both 'G' spots. After all it took me long enough to find them. All you need is your GPS positioning system.

G Fund(ers) - Right Behind You...

Wow,

I'm right on the tail of all you 'G Fund' Trustfunders :nuts:

All I need is for this equities market (C/S/I) to grow by 3.35% to reach my ultimate goal.

The 'G Fund' Return

Glorious. :toung:
