Hi dreamboat, i have been following the slow stochastic as u have mentioned, i also think that it has very little room to the upside, i will be watching for the SS around 25 ish to re-enter. If u look back at the charts, and just entered when the SS is it that range, then get out when its near 80, we would have made lots-o-money, Cheers...
Yes... just kicking myself. I just lost my XMAS rally. I'm hoping I am not in the red on this overall transaction. Definitely negative big time for this year with what is happening today. Well I am still glad my strategy is good but my execution is very poor. I should have gotten out 12/31 and then decided to I should get out 1/3 and then 1/10 (Fridays) and just could not get to a phone on Friday in time and then just decided to let it ride one more day! Dang
Okay...maybe I'm not mad. Just had a chance to look at prices I paid to enter the market on 12/16 and 12/17... prices for both S and C fund should still be well above that and so I made a profit (in the black)... albeit... it could have been much better if I had exited Friday, but overall I am okay. Im sure I am now in the red on the Tracker for 2014 but I don't care about that. I had a positive trade so I am okay. Maybe that is a simplistic view but as long as my account keeps going up I am happy. Now to figure out how much I actually made on that transaction... that is the hard part. Plus I guess eventually I need to figure out what my rate of return is.Yes... just kicking myself. I just lost my XMAS rally. I'm hoping I am not in the red on this overall transaction.

Well tomorrow is another day. Now will start looking for entry... not sure if this thing is going down more. There maybe a bounce tomorrow but irrelevant for me at this point. Just hate that we cannot transact on a moment's notice... we are just playing blind and with hands tied behind our back from Noon EST to close of business in the market. TSP rules/Government sucks! Im really pissed and that doesnt happened very often.
Thanks Burro... I am now happy again especially after realizing I did make a profit on this transaction ... and I am drinking a hot cup of cammomile tea to relax and an oreo cookie! I'll just think about squeezing a sock monkey for now although the greendbacks that could have been mine would be better!! Gonna shake it off honey... Lol

A little honey in that tea will make it all better...
Thanks Ravensfan, ahhh...a little honey always makes everything better!!Tough break today Annie, but at least you made a profit.
I'll figure out what I made on this stint and I'll probably look to see what I could have had...ugghh. ..don't want to do that, but I will. Hard lesson learned. I think the price levels should be equal to about what they were around 12/23...so I did get to keep a little of the Xmas rally. We all knew a pull back was due, but would have been nice to get out before. Buy low. Sell high. And around and around we go!
Now to figure out how much I actually made on that transaction... that is the hard part. Plus I guess eventually I need to figure out what my rate of return is.
Just need to be much more diligent to follow my strategy timely. Okay...so now looking for a bottom to get back in ....
Thanks Ravensfan!
for links. That should help and will work with it later tonight or this weekend. I was just looking at DWCPF chart and looks like market may continue to meander further down to around 965 to 975. I won't go back in until it goes to that level for S fund. Slow Stochastic is still too high so I think it will go down more and of course would like to see it around 15 or 20 to jump back in.
Thanks Ravensfan!
On SPX chart for C fund, it looks very close to what I see as a retracement of about 1815. However, the Slow stochastic is still too high so that makes me think prices may go down further during the next 5 days ( of course with its unpredictable up/ down meandering).
Again will look for both to hit or go closer to the lower Bollinger band and/ or 50 EMA before finding bottom.
. Definitely want to crank this up!Devastating loss. Still hard to believe he's gone. One of my faves as well.
Wow...definitely a guitar god. Had to watch that a few times. Incredible especially at 4 mins and 9 mins in. Sounds like some White Snake sampling around 5.25 mins and Led Zeppelin at 9 mins to the end, but sound so unique. So he played for 3 hours like that??? I see he'll be in San Antonio in April, but I think I'm gonna be out of town then. Would definitely like to see him. It's great that you got to see him. Must have been awesome concert.
yeah! That is one of my favorite SRV songs, but I really like everything he put out. Yes, so sad that he died so many years ago in August 1990---just a few months after he played at Fiesta (in San Antonio) of April of that year. So very talented.
