No move for me.

No move for me.

I was just going to ask about those higher highs you were looking for. We could be plenty wrong but I'm sitting tight too.

(of course I have nearly 40% in, purchased near the top, so I'm jealous of your position)

 

[Mcqlives]

I be thinking of buying.:suspicious:

I missed the cut off so it doesn't matter today but, imo, the F fund is beyond worn out. In a better world, if we had unlimited (or at least 3) moves I would have gone G today and waited for tomorrow mornings action to decide on an entry. As it stands, I'll be looking for a possible entry tomorrow. 1820 on the s&p is the next closest floor I have charted but I don't think that is coming today...we may have bottomed.

I picked the 1820 but can't believe it hit so fast. This is hard and fast....2008 type action.

1816 maybe:

Good grief. -450 in the dow, or should i say down. Wow this is nuts!

That's why I wait for confirmation. This is the second time I miss a big drop but the first time I was in bonds and not G. Why have AGG stopped going up?

 

[Birchtree]

I'll be making some very nice dividend purches in the next two months, providing I survive this nonsense.

Good for you Bquat! I was in for both big drops this year and I don't tend to be in enough for the recovery. That's why I haven't been able to make any money since leaving 100% G in 2000. What I want to know is: do you actually enjoy this trading/investing stuff? I really hate it but feel I have no choice.

I have a charting obsession. I was only offered 4 to 5 % annuities and figure I could beat that until interest rates are above 7%.

I'm thinking retail finally noticed this time is different. Different from the last year anyway. Question is whether the "pros" will be buying what retail sells or waiting for more blood. I'm trying to be more patient. Hard work because buying is more fun.

Dow losing 450 pts is only the second time I've seen the recent losses make front page headlines on the non-financial news sites I visit. I think that says something about when the "retail" investors will react. I am now wishing I had moved out of my 40% C & S positions and wondering I'm going to need to capitulate :blink:

 

[BichonFreeze]

Wait, did S Fund really just close with a positive gain?

Yes but C no:

 

[Bquat]

AGG gap filled:

 

[Bquat]

So did smart money or dumb money buy the dip? And will the FED re-QE because of the economy as rumored?

 

[Bquat]

Yes Transports had gains today but it's still below the triple bottom::suspicious:

 

[Bquat]

Tomorrow I'm on market watch with no suggestions for you. Only one Fed guy mentions a possible QE redo and we're off to the races. Buy the rumor sell the news. Was it said at the right time to save the market?:suspicious:

 

[Mapper]

Buy the rumor sell the news.

I see that as a strong possibility. BT wants Draghi to get off the pot but ECB hands are seemingly tied, I'm not sure our FED can fix this issue, they have done their part. Looking for that higher high...Small Caps got it, transports are virtually there but we'll see what global markets do and what tomorrow brings.

 

[Bquat]

During my market watch tomorrow, I'm considering an exit from the F Fund by watching the new green river line. Bonds dropped out from being embedded. Thinking G Fund:

Looking for 959 for and entry to the S Fund:
