I am going 100% I as of COB today. The I fund is weak today and hopefully will rise and the S & C may go up also if they don't go up over 1214 they will not break the cealing and may fall tomorrow so I am staying away from them. I may stay down some and or about even as it did yesterday.

Cowboy, I look at the Tally as showing how your picking skills are doing. You showed that you were making the move prior to the deadline so from a picking stocks standpoint, you made the right decision and your returns should reflect your decisions not the technical difficulty. I think I will put you back in F for today and move you to I for tommorrow since you did not make an effort to move yesterday.

If you are trying to track your own actual percentages, you'd need to tweek the numbers a little.

That is okay with me Fundsurfer! I don't keep constant track of my fund percentage and only consider a end of year tally as appropriate. As I feel it kind of is like keeping track of chickens before they hatch type deal, but if your just keeping track of moves, I would of been in C. I am up nicely this year at this time as I was out during the drop in January. Thanks for acknowledging that I did make the call on Tuesday being the day for the raise! Good luck keeping track as that is a lot to do, if your trying to track everyone who has an account. I been making a lot of moves lately but that may slow down here some shortly.

Hello market! I also stated I fund will go over $16.00, it is there people! I guess I am very lucky this week again. I hope my luck holds. If your in G, the question now is what do you do? Remember every day is an opportunity. One thing about boards there is always someone trying to influenceeveryone else. I know nothing, see nothing, hear nothing.I am a leader!!!!!!!! I make mistakes people and when I do I will be the firstto admit it. If you follow me expect to lose some capital.

Did you see what the market did to me today! I kind of figured this might happen to me but I also thought that if I stayed on the sidelines and it goes up you just buy higher. So I jumped from C to S and made back some of my money and still in if it goes up. I am hoping S goes up tomorrow if not then I will do something else. Hodji and the oil spill was rampant today, tomorrow he may not even raise his ugly little Turbaned head.

cowboy, glad to know it was you the market was after, i was beginning to think the down days followed just my moves; yep guess we're in the sameS boat together, though your allocation is greater. s fund has me troubled too, would love to see a bounce, but might not see it soon enough to make a decision to move out or stay the course. the large caps seem to have been gaining favor of late, leaving the s to flounder or possily sink a little. In any case, does feel like your on a submarine with a screen door waiting for the dive, dive, dive signal....I truly hope not, goes against my bullish nature.

thanks for your input to mine, good fortune to you!

Lets not get too excited yet! The S marketshould hit some resistance soon and then climb backup. If this thing reverses it will shoot right out. If not thats why it is called risk.

Well it is looking up as oil inventories are way better than expected. Which I was hoping would be the case as the Northeast has hit a cold snap and the marketers are all setting in the cold. If they listened to Hodji's bluff yesterday we may see some gains in the market.

Oil inventories being reported at an 8 month high, pretty good for most of the winter being completed.

When you take a hit, there is only one thing you can do and that is wait till tomorrow because tomorrow is another opportunity. The US market is still trending and it appears the I fund will take a hit possibly tomorrow.

I am still somewhat baffled why some think the C fund is the stronger fund because today the S dropped and C just went through its supposable resistance like butter. To me C is just following S around like a little brother.

"Come to me my precious!"

They lost the oil inventory thingy and then they state that gasoline inventories were much lower than thought! mmmmm! What to do? Everyones jumping to I fund like it was a prize mare. If S don't give back tomorrow than I'll have to change strategies.

Is it just me or are these markets topping in the morning prior to opening then lower at close. This does not work well with the tsp 11:00 am transfer situation. So this is a sucker rally for us and perfect for a person shorting the market. I am going to watch for several days until this trend ends or I feel the market adjusts. I Fund was down but so was the dollar watch out if your in the I and it goes downand the dollar gets stronger the same day.

One thing about news you always hear it second hand! This is why you & me have very little chance of guessing where this is going. That is why monkey's and dart throwing has beaten the market so many times and everyone on this board.

If your buying stocks look for something that may be worth something in the future and buy it and hold it for 20 to 30 years. That is what Warren Buffet did.

If you deal in commodities, options or buy on margin get ready to be fleeced because that is where most of them end up. I know a lot of people will tell you that they are making money on these but the truth is I have seen many that just have lost everything from this type of trading.

Themarket has not seen a real bear market in 20 years and it might be due. The ones in it are hoping someone buys them out. No one knows when the next bear market will be but it is getting closer it is a matter of time. It may be a year off it might be here already.

Did you notice how I shorted the C fund in the last 3 days. Got in Tuesday out Wednesday and purchased back today. Awful lucky don't you think? If this thing bounces I'll take what it gives me and think of something else to do tomorrow. Everybody has a strategy but sometimes you have to invent one when your guessing wrong. I expect a bounce but if not I will do something else.

Cowboy, Triple Witching takes place the 3rd Friday of the months of Mar, Jun, Sep, & Dec. According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, the Dow has been down 6 of the last 9 in the month of Mar.

Luck of the Irish to you.

I made a move to 100% S for Monday to gain shares back from yesterday. Hopefully S will follow C and I will gain back shares in the S.

Amazing what one day will do in the stock market. I lost .13 yesterday in C, stayed in it bought S today and gained the .13 right back. Now if market rebounds I'll make up the lossed value.:^
