DOOM Trading System

[Cactus]

For all you inquiring minds out there, this is how Cactus and CRAP finished off 2014:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 100"]
[TR]
[TD]Cactus[/TD]
[TD]CRAP[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]-7.39%
[/TD]
[TD]24.76%
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Looks like even that last move by Cactus was a loser and CRAP benefited from it. If CRAP were on the AT it would have finished @ #3 for 2014.

Good stuff, just get your Crap together, and make a run for #1

Looks like CRAP was by far the better contrarian system than DOOM for 2014. Kudos to you Cactus -- or is it condolences?


Anyways, since I have received thousands upon thousands:laugh: of letters, e-mails and MySpace posts (remember that thing? I don't) -- Minnow is still in the G. That would put the DOOM system in the C.

All you TspTalkers have a great and prosperous 2015, and if you don't, at least be able to laugh about it.

I'd love to Jason, but I can't seam make a winning IFT to save my life. I said it before and I'll say it again: some of us aren't cut out for investing. CRAP is off to a great start in 2015.

 

[Cactus]

Minnow, is DOOM really in the C Fund? I thought it was in S. Your Recent IFT History shows you went to S on 10/21 and G on 10/29. Are there IFTs missing for being a Premium Service Member or something?

I was going to congratulate you for being aligned with CRAP in the G Fund while I'm aligned with DOOM in the S Fund. Well, either way it's to your advantage so far in 2015. Congratulations!!

Didn't see this until today. So, sorry for the late reply.

Yes, the DOOM system would have been in the C fund for the year so far. I went S the last time I went in but it seemed that the C and S fought in the intervening time period for leadership and C seemed to be a "safer" bet for DOOM than the S at the time. Well, S is down less than C now. Oh well.

Yes, I have been and continue to be tucked away in the G fund. Boring but green.

The market doesn't seem to be signalling a direction. JPM just spit the bit so, for now I remain on the sidelines.

Good trading to you and to all TSPTalkers.

Congrats to those who are in the market and are Doing the Opposite Of Minnow.

Before the Feds do their thing... just saw an interesting weekly chart on the dollar.

How long can bucky stay up? Your guess is as good as mine. Good trading/investing to all.

 

[Minnow]

Once again, Paint skills off the charts.

Sorry folks...

 

[Cactus]

Sounds like DOOM is still working, 2.31% YTD (C Fund). That's too bad for you.

Cactus is doing better this year, 3.45% YTD (S Fund), while CRAP is with you in the G Fund, 0.26% YTD.

Yep, been unable to catch any moves -- and my trigger finger is gettin' itchy. At least I'm green so far, though. I'm glad Cactus is doing better than CRAP. That's some genuine progress right there, man -- although you might have to change that avatar --- wait, no.... no need to jinx yourself.

 

[Cactus]

Cactus is bailing today -- 100% G Fund by EOD today. That means CRAP is going 100% S Fund.

Here are the returns so far this year:

[TD]4.04%

[/TABLE]

So far, Cactus is doing better this year.

 

[Minnow]

Minnow is jumping in (100% C fund) -- (may only be a day or two play).

That means DOOM retreats to the safety of the G fund.


Happy trading everyone.

 

[Minnow]

Alrighty folks, Minnow is going to all G fund.

That means the DOOM followers would enter the market starting Monday. Tough call between C and S (that I fund FV may loom large in the coming days).

Gotta go pay more attention to my NCAA bracket -- there are extremely valuable prizes available I hear... time for more TSPTalk swag.

Good trading and good luck to all you guys.

I want to enter April invested so Cactus goes 100% S Fund today which means CRAP goes 100% G.

Cactus is still doing better this year.

 

[Minnow]

Good trading to you cactus and good luck.

 

[Cactus]

April has never been kind to me, so you'd think I'd learn as once again I get flushed down the toilet.

CRAP spent the month in the G Fund and earned a measly 0.15% while Cactus spent the month in the S Fund and lost his shirt at the end with -1.5 for the month.

Here are the annual standings:

CRAP is catching up.

 

[Minnow]

Minnow stayed in the G fund.

I probably would've been torn between the C and S fund and would probably have done a 50/50 split. Either way... I stayed green so happy happy happy.

Good trading to all of you.

 

[Minnow]

Minnow going in for tomorrow IFT today 50/50 between C and S funds. If you're strictly DOOM, you would take this moment to get out to the safe haven of your choice -- probably G although the F might have a little meat left on the bone.

Haven't been around much. Lots of youth baseball tournaments to enjoy.

 

[Minnow]

Minnow exiting cob today back to G fund (tempted by F fund but not enough). Those doing the DOOM would make entry into the markets at this point. Choosing between C,S and I is up to you. The dollar would probably be my guide should I be tempted by the I fund.

Good luck to all of you my TSP buddies.

 

[Cactus]

The S Fund is pushing the upper bollinger band on this break-out rally to record highs. I'm expecting lower prices next week so Cactus goes 100% G Fund today which means CRAP goes 100% S.
