Dr Faustus's Account Talk

[DrFaustus]

S-fund threw an ALERT today, signaling a possible change in investment strategy. The good news is that it would require a SIGNIFICANT move tomorrow ( more than 2% ) to change this to a BUY so I think we can continue to sit tight in the G fund and watch things develop.

 

[DrFaustus]

Dow up 250!! :: head in hands ::

 

[DrFaustus]

Well .. I finished the year at 4.98%. Not a great year .. but at least I have bragging rights! : )

 

[DrFaustus]

My charts are suggesting that now is a good time to get into the S fund, so ... Tally Ho! 100% S COB tomorrow ( 1/25/17 )

I was thinking about doing the same, still thinking.

 

[Whipsaw]

I'm thinking too...

 

[ravensfan]

I'm thinking too...

Come on in Whipsaw. If you bought the election, why would you not also buy the inauguration? New highs today on both the C and S Funds.

 

[DrFaustus]

And ... I start out the year way behind!! Rrrrrrr ... Good job, Intrepid .. keep on truckin, man!

 

[DrFaustus]

2/28 ... don't think I lost or gained much ground on Intrepid. Rrrrrrr .... I got to do better! Good job, Intrepid. Keep this up and I may have to throw in the towel!

 

[DrFaustus]

My charts are indicating a sell order on the S fund if there's anything less than a 1.15% increase today.

 

[DrFaustus]

Well .... 8:25am in AZ ( 10:25am Eastern ) and the S fund is down 0.71% So .. I'm out, 100% G COB today ( 3/6 )

 

[DrFaustus]

The S-fund chart is indicating it's time to get back in ... so, Tally Ho! 100%S cob today ( 3/20 )

 

[DrFaustus]

Well ... this is typical. The day I get back into the S-fund, it falls off a cliff. :: sigh ::

 

[nnuut]

I'm in today but out in the morning. I hate it when this happens.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Sorry to hear that. Keep your head up.
I am always tormented by having to make that decision... get out and live to fight another day, or stay in and ride it down with your eyes closed, while holding your breath and hoping the dip is shallow. ugghhh ...

 

[DrFaustus]

Well, now my chart is suggesting I get out. It doesn't look like the bloodletting is going to be halted today, so .... guess I'm out for the rest of the month. Probably should have switched to F but now I've used up my two IFTs. Damn TSP Board. :: sigh :: 100%G cob today ( 3/22 )

 

[DrFaustus]

well, I definitely lost ground on Intrepid this past month - about 2.5%, I think. ::sigh::
I'm beginning to think my 'system' sucks. At least as far as the TSP is concerned.
Good job Intrepid .. keep truckin, man!

Woulda shoulda. I know the feeling. I thought about jumping out March 1st. I didn't, and I'm down 5% from that high point. Oh well. I have 9 more months to make it up.

 

[DrFaustus]

Man ... Intrepid sure left my tail in the dust this month! All hail!!

 

[DrFaustus]

I think I gained a point on Intrepid this month. Look out buddy! : )
