My last trade worked out well, we had 3 rally days over 200 points, very unexpected when I went in and being that it was over a holiday weekend shocked everyone. I'm backing out half of my exposure today, so I'll have 20% in equities and also lowering my F fund allotment from 60 to 30... I would get all the way out today if I could get back in, but since I'm out of trades I wanted to leave a little in play.

Also, I think I need to delete myself from the auto tracker.... I have thousands of dollars in play, but I find myself calculating what I need to do to lose less or make more than others so I stay in the top five of the AT so I can get a coffee mug .. If I was smart, I'd just buy one and focus on capital growth and preservation, and not want to take more risks to stay above others on the AT.... but I won't delete it, cause its fun

#3 on tracker before todays close

My quest to make top 5 for the month took two hits yesterday, first because of my small percentage invested, another who was fully invested over took me... Congratulations to those who have been fully invested for the second half of the month, I gotta imagine 5% increase in one month feels pretty darn good... But I am very happy with my 2%...

second hit was that when I open the tracker, I always click on the full year standings, didn't even pay attention that there was another option to also see the partial year members; well I'm a little lower on that list, so I'm not even sure that I was in top 5 for most of the month as I had thought... But again, I'm happy with what I have made, no complaints here...

also, why looking around at the functionality of the site, I found out how to add an avatar, so I decided that since the market has done so much butt kickin this year, I'd bring a little butt rub to the site

I'm heading to the lily pad today... The primary reason for my retreat is the pattern from the last two months of extremely negative starts of the month and strong second halves... I don't know if this is the type of pattern that repeats itself, but not being in the market at the beginning of the month has worked out well for me, so I will continue that until the market shows me something different. Futures are still down as I write this, but they have improved from earlier today and hopefully can end up positive for my exit...

 

[daze823]

Haha, my quest has come up short, I wanted top 5 for the month and I ended up in 6th... I guess that makes me the first loser, gives me something to shoot for next month...

anyway, I will keep trying to win a coffee mug, but I saw the 1oz silver TSP coin as one of the prizes, and I wanted to find out if it is possible to buy those? I collect silver coins and was wondering if they are sold, or only won, if anyone knows I'd appreciate the info...

im on the lily pad for now, good luck to those who entered today, I hope this month doesn't folow the pattern of the last few months..

Cancel my last post, I thought it was a monthly contest for highest ytd earnings... I was pretty low on the list, not 6th... But still interested in any info on purchasing the coins...

 

[burrocrat]

you might be able to buy one from tsptalk. but i have some and will bet you one, name your stakes.

I don't even know how to respond... I have no idea what you have in mind or what wager I could throw down.

well, i want a trump make america great again red baseball cap, but i'm not sending my hard earned $20 bucks to that corksoaker. so i will bet you one ounce of tsptalk silver for a trump hat.

one possible contest to decide things is the holly holm - miesha tate ufc fight this weekend. i bet on holm. want to take that bet?

Sure, i'll go for that.... although I loved watching holm knock Rhonda out, I think Miesha is a much more well rounded fighter, and I think Holy is crazy for taking the fight cause she is risking a lot of money, Holm / Rousey II will only make her big $$$ if she's champ... I'll put up a red trump hat.

deal, bet is on.

Holm will fk up Misha, it won't even be close....

Congrats on being 1st loser...I'll trade with you any day

 

[burrocrat]

i am just going with holly because that tall clean-living blonde girl has some long legs that are good at kicking the crap out of people. besides she's a preacher's daughter, and the way i was raised you never beat up a preacher's daughter.

Why wait for your turn to trade with me... just go lay 100k down on Holm if it's such a sure thing... It's just a hat, burro has made me laugh enough that I'd give him a hat if he asked, but this way I might get the coin I want...

I agree that Holm is pretty bad azz, I just think that Rhonda had no respect for her and it makes for an easy target when the person just stands in front of you.. Miesha is more skilled on her feet than Rhonda (go back and watch their fights, miesha always had advantage on the feet) but obviously not as capable as Holm, but if she can just keep from getting knocked out, openings for a takedown will show themselves.. Either way, I'm good, I like both fighters, but I'll root for Miesha and my shiny new coin

I don’t post often, but I gotta say, today’s market is confusing me.. a record number of unemployed, most businesses with no business, and no expectation of things going back to normal within one or two years.. why is the market going up? Am I missing something?

Additional stimulus and declining new covid case # raising expectations of limited economic damage, fast recovery. Which may, or may not be the case.

Left pic is 2000 tech bust, right is the last couple of months.. looks similar, but will it continue to follow the same pattern? would make sense to me as the bad news (unemployement, sales loss, etc) continue to mount... stimulus can only take you so far in my opinion.
