DreamboatAnnie's Account Talk

Hi! Still on vacation to Niagara Falls and New York City...… wanted to exit today, but couldn't transact quickly enough...ugghh...just had chance to look at financials a bit ago.
More travel today and tomorrow by air so no idea if I can put it in. could do it now, but I would rather see how market looks in morning. Next going to Kansas. now that will be a relaxing week...out in the middle of nowhere on a ranch.....just going to enjoy hearing no cars ...and enjoy hearing the cows moo...and roosters crowing.... nothing to do but ride horse, shoot guns, swim in the "crick"...and go to a little bitty town 3 miles away talk to the locals and drink little beer with friends.

I did get a picture with the Wall street Bull statue though it's not actually on Wall street or at NY Stock Exchange. Visited Statue of Liberty and 911 Memorial. It is so sad to see the names of those who died and all of the unbelievable number of Firefighter Ladders, engine groups. Just can't help but for it to bring tears to eyes. I might post a few pictures when I get back home week after next.

hope you are all doing well and Best Wishes!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
C fund seems to be gapping up, which often gives another few days before dropping, but S fund ...well no telling...it does look weak. GDP numbers come out Friday? Heard some guys on FBN this morning...they did not answer how a good GDP number (expected 4.2) would affect market when they were asked about it. They just said earnings were already baked in.

I always try to keep in mind that anything can happen. The weekly charts look ok...but S fund weakening (looking at MACD histogram in below chart). At this point, i just wanted out so I could enjoy rest of my vacation. Like yesterday...the excitement was seeing my friend and her husband get an BIG escaped bull back behind the fence! Woo...hooo.....!

Best wishes to you!!!!!!! :smile:

Sounds dangerous. Highway 54 in New Mexico used to have lots of accidents because it was straight and flat for 60 miles. It would have a hypnotic effect on people and cause them to drift off.

Exactly, curves are intentionally put in highways/expressways for that very reason.

Located in the state of North Dakota, the ND-46 W is 120 miles (193km) stretch of straightness near Fargo. This asphalted road links Oxbow (in Cass County) and Streeter (Stutsman County). It’s a straight road with a few kinks breaking up slightly the straight parts for 1 h 56 min.

The US-54 W going through three states with no real discernable curves is 108 miles (173km) stretch of straightness. This asphalted road links Liberal (county seat of Seward County) and Dalhart (Dallam County). It’s a straight road running through three states (Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma) for 1 h 55 min.

Here's a different chart view with just EMAs for S Fund

When I woke up yesterday and saw DOW futures, it was like the world was crumbling down around this retired guy - no longer dollar cost averaging the down swings = real losses :) -- but as you say, ended up on a high note - NOW TODAY DOW futures are looking good, so I don't know what to expect for the S fund
 
Hi Bama, As you can tell, I'm no expert in market. :( Just gotta do best you can and learn as much as possible.... I am starting to learn more about drawing support and resistance lines and reading candlesticks. Hope to be more knowledgeable by time I retire in a couple years. Risk and exposure is something each person must consider. write down strategy and try to stick to it..... remember no one can know what will happen.... I think shorter teem trading is much tougher than a longer term strategy.

Wishing you and everyone the best....:smile:
 
Beautiful song for my friends! You've Got A Friend...James Taylor...such a sweet voice. I have a friend who sounds just like him. I think I'll sing this one at karaoke tonight here in San Antonio....should be fun! Have a few Mexican martinis (cross between a margarita and dirty martini...yum!). Should be a fun filled night! :smile:

Partial exit..now 60G, 15F, 25C. Charts still look fairly good. But I am being conservative and just hoping I am not exiting on a day that ends badly. Looks good so far. Trying to chip away at my loss this year... slowly. :(


Best wishes to everyone on your Investments!!!!! :smile:
