Dr Faustus's Account Talk

Wow ... I haven't processed today's figures ( 1/5/15 ) yet but I can't imagine they're going to change the allocation : still 100% F.
 
Clemso and MarkC seem to have made the right choice for today. It was almost certainly the right call for the short term but will it cost them over the longer haul? Time will tell. At any rate, the charts are telling me to stay the course, so I am remaining 100%F for the moment.
 
Today's charts are indicating an ALERT signal, signifying a possible change in allocation. However, they gave an ALERT even if the market went to the strong upside ( a +3 sigma change ). Bottom line, now might be a good time to get in and get ahead of the curves but I think caution is still warranted. Besides, letting my gut feel override my system is a surefire way of destroying the system. So I'm going to keep a watchful eye on the market, there might be a change coming up in the not too distant future. Or not. : ) Still 100% F today
 
Am still getting an ALERT signal from my charts which indicates that it's not quite ready to change over to a BUY signal yet. Another day like today and I think we'll be there.

For those who might be watching these posts, I want to reiterate a couple of things. 1) Am trying to work my system so am trying to ignore my gut feel on when to get in / out of the market. 2 ) My goal (and I've stated this before) is not to be the top investor on the AutoTracker, but rather to remain "in the hunt" year after year after year. In other words, generate good, solid returns year after year.

Have a good January!

Good stuff, I agree with you that trying to be number #1 on the tracker does not align with having a decent long-term trading system.
 
Well, this is typical. The day I get back in, the Market drops 400 points! Anyone have any rope? I may need to borrow 5 or 6 feet ....
 
The charts say that now is the time to get back in, so .... 100% S Fund cob today (2/5) Personally, I don't know about this ... feels like the wrong move to me. But, that's why we develop these systems - to replace subjectivity with objectivity. Good luck everyone!
 
True, but when we lose money you also make money, so you can't lose. Well, until you are limited to only 3 million in your retirement accounts that is.
 
The charts are signaling an ALERT today ... an extreme down day today ( 2/10 ) would generate an OUT signal for tomorrow. Watch the boards at 11:30 or so ... if the S fund looks like it's headed to the bottom of the ocean, it would be a good time to get out.
 
Thanks for the advise. Hope it doesn't happen. So far things seem to be recovering and Europe closed mostly positive.

Good luck to us all!
 
I agree with you...market has some good footing on earnings as long as news from Greece is neutral and oil does not start a downslide. I believe another day of staying in is what my crystal ball is telling me. Actually more of reading the market pulse. Our patient is still kicking.
