This market is ripe for a crash of epic proportions, the problem is it's difficult to get out of the way before the damage has already been done.

 

[FAB1]

Youre right, must be that little thing called Gravity. ha ha.

 

[david.alan.williams]

True. It's difficult to listen to talk radio as the state of our country is currently very depressing and the outlook is not good. Might see Egypt happen here.

 

[FAB1]

Of course gravity isnt going to effect the stock market but it is interesting how the "downs" are often rapid and unforgiving and the "ups" are not quite so intense.

Hence the term: Panic selling, I suppose.

BT likes to say "Panic Buying" and he would. : P

It could be very probable that we are setting up for a meltup of epic proportions and the consequent angle of ascention may be something never seen before - if I had a rubber neck I'd protect it from spinning. Wave 3s have a way of making believers out of the sideliners.

 

[david.alan.williams]

Your right, he would, that's his system. That, I guess, its the great part about having a system and following it. It takes emotion out of the mix.

See! See what I mean.

Who says "meltup" ???

That's right BT, think positive.

Whoosh that was one quick dip!

 

[david.alan.williams]

Holding my breath now.

So I suppose when I hit 100 posts there will be fanfare of some kind play through my speakers? Or does that just mean that my marrage is getting worse? :blink:

Before your posting numbers go to your head, you have to catch nnuut for it to really mean something....:blink:

& FWIW - if you trade right on TSP, it should make you money which will help your marriage!

I'd have to post 50+ posts per day for a year to match him, then I still wouldn't actually catch up with him.

My in-house banker says that if I get myself into trouble she is not lending me any money.

David, did you get a chance to check out the sweet 16?

I saw it, then I forgot.:embarrest: I will try it though.

The S Fund giveth , and the S Fund taketh away .

David, did you get a chance to check out the sweet 16?

It averaged 15.36% per year with only 1 negative year (2008) -3.89%

Thanks David, one last thought you may want to consider. I find the S-Fund tends to be the best choice, but the I-Fund can be a better choice when both EFA & the dollar are working for you at the same time.

Perhaps you've already done this and I haven't noticed. Have you tested to determine the I-Fund vs. the S-Fund, when EFA is above MA and the dollar is below the MA at the same time?

[david.alan.williams]

I'll take a hard look at it. I was hoping to find a great way to know if S or I was the best choice during the year. Right now, just using LYBM because LMBM didn't work out so well within this method.

Thanks! And this doesn't have to be your last suggestion!
