Carnac's Corner

Question? How does a 75 inch body fit into that small sports car you drive? With due diligence I presume.

I don't know, but in Texas we're a big bigger on the inch scale than the norm...so I might really be 5'7" tall.....


Do you know if you bought Chinese yuan's in early Oct, you'd be up 5.21% right now.....of course that is just the exchange rate not any commission rates deducted....

Maybe the first thing I should say is Buy Yuan's....it on a annual return of 10% or so right now.....

I had the FV for the I fund on Friday even, yesterday the FV was 0..it remains to be seen if it was correct, today should verify it...

Seems to me, there is every corner coming out today and saying that the US won't be in a recession in the 2nd half of this year.....yea right...as long as the oil producers sell at the elevated levels, then we're going deep recession......so get ready if you can. So there must be another reason to prop up the market.

Have a good day.

Its a slick time right now....best to be protected or very brave....

I suppose everyone caught on that the S&P was bought up with the Wilshire failing.....so were the internationals....is this capitulation time???

I see the L funds seem to be bragging a bit.....I don't find their returns all that great.....I've passed up on 15% so far return this year, I just couldn't buy in during their opportune times and only netted 5.8 so far......so truely, a good timer should have been up at least 20% by now....so I don't think the TSP can really bragg at all.....



Carnac.....
 
You're up 5.8% ????? holy cow ... congratulations!
Yeah thank you...but its unofficial of course....I quit the tracker a while ago.....it could have been alot more I tell ya, I just couldn't pull that trigger to get it....it was lets say, very conservative......Birchy would like it......

But unofficial or not....its what it is..

Hey, it ain't much in any case.....

Good show CARNAC, you Da MAN!:D
its not good enough I'm afraid Nnuut....I only wish I had the nerve to take these one day wonder chances....the whole market looks fragile and I'm not willing to take the chance of loosing......

U know, I've had a 89% hit rate since Oct....I have only lost just over 3% since then, but gained just over 14%.....its been interesting on how much I've lost due to my conservative approach...it's up there and a shame.....


BTW, the CB's recommend to be out today.....

I find the current election ever increasingly important.....economically we're a mess....we need someone who can lead us threw this callidoscope of financial doom.....keeping in mind, the main culprit of this is energy costs....unsubstantiated costs/profits......start there and you have kicked it in the a$$ initially....so where do you start on that one....war (not a good option), investment in new tech....diversity in energy is paramount. Protected monopolies need to be divulged (oil) and dispersed. Freee market in energy is essential....protection in this industry is what got us here today.

Next, we need to take care of us....that means US. If we are going to play on an even field with the rest of the world, then so be it. We can beat them easily. So someone needs to guide this country in the proper direction.

Energy is cheap, its only when humans get their hands on it when it gets expensive.

Crystal Ball's are starting to reveal a hard market down stroke sometime in the first two weeks of next month.....

Maybe it will not happen till then, then again maybe it won't happen at all.......be prepared.

Geesus and Allah combined could today end up a 300 point gain? Makes up for the lack of follow through from yesterday.

I thought I'd post this to you Norman....out of the 14% returns minus the 3 % loss, I returned around 6.7% from the F fund.....been in the fund 40% of the time....

So why don't you have fun in the F fund??? That's what I want to know.....hehehhehehehehehehehhhh

Carnac:D
 
Everyone should remember that this is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Everyone has their own "vehicle" or way of getting to where they want to finish. Some try to cover the distance quickly while others who are more laid back get there with less effort and stress. You should always invest according to your own personal tolerances.

I can't get the picture our of my head of how uncanny the dynamics involving the USA as a country and a broke entity....I know we have spent our last dime to chase a villian, I know we have spent our last dime to bail out alot of people from tragedy, broke mortgagers, and anyone else with a hand out.....its undeniable that as a country, we're in trouble unless we reset the global picture economically, if not then the free world will have to fend for itself and we will have chaos all over the globe.


Its kinda ironic, if some entity is trying to break the USA's back on energy, they will suffer from it themselves and lose control of their own country. We will respond faster than most everyone to the situation, but food lines aren't out of the question as of yet.

This could be going on for the next 50 years, Fibronnacci wise.

Actually, I don't think it's an attempt to break the USA's back on energy, it's a logical reaction to a falling $ and rising demand from rapidly growing economies like China and India. And the falling $ isn't just a problem with the Energy/oil countries; it's any country or even big investors with considerable $ holdings. There is clear evidence countries and investors holding $'s are buying Euros and Gold (and other commodities like oil futures). The next crisis, I predict, is when the next auction of T-Bills goes out and no one wants to buy - for the logical reason that they are dropping in value. And this Administration will never raise taxes so that means the budget for the Wars are going to be off budget again - need more T-Bills!. Unfortunately, you don't need a conspiracy here.

Yeah, that's a result of corps dropping US labor and going overseas for cheaper production....broke the labor unions pretty good....only thing is, it really hasn't benefited the consumer much here in the US, just the corporate profits which is troublesome. I suppose some equilibrium will be reached, but how far down does the American citizen have to go in income/lifestyle before things get dicey. I have already seen prices at the store make substantial increases over the last couple of years. The term tapped out is becoming a more recent term amongst fellow Americans, homes foreclosed (who'd not guessed that one), values of auto's dropping (they were overpriced in the beginning anyway)...and so forth....

I would guess with the way things are now, we should see some changes or a depression will be on our next plate. I'm not the only one seeing this of late....its shaping up to be pretty bad economically.....moving overseas production was destabilizing to the world economy and will be hard hit here locally.
