I will admit, I briefly considered buying in a little today, but decided it's too high risk. I want to see something that looks like the start of a short (few day) bear market rally for a quick in and out. Will see... Two days left in February.

Russia has the strings on oil prices since Biden stopped the pipeline on day one of his Presidency. This is not a political statement--It is a fact. You can see him sign that order on YouTube. Now that is biting us at the pump as we are now buying and relying more on middle east oil plus buying Russian oil (the irony of it all makes me just shake my head!) and Europe is very reliant on it as well.

Why is this important? More Inflation for gas at the pump plus oil used to produce other products and for transportation of all types! Yes, that will affect our markets as price inflation hits our wallets and corporate profits (as costs go up and we tighten our belts and try to buy less) and thus market valuations will be affected further. Ughhh... :(

Then throw in Fed wanting to raise rates and you have a good case for further inflation (goods and loans cost more), eventual reduced spending and spiral into an eventual recession.

Bear market strategy 100%.... Hey, I am not a permabear but I feel like we stepped into a huge stinky pile of horse manure! It will be hard to dig out, But it's just money... Prayers for the people of Ukraine.

Gosh...someone tell me where my logic is off on this!

Market is on a tear upward... For S fund. Up 3.10%. Not sure what to make of it other than maybe relief that so far Eu and US not putting boots on the ground????
 
I'm just catching up. What got said?????? Did they cancel the March Rate Hike or sumthin ?? I'm shocked at how it recovered. Never would of thunk it, that's fo sho.....
 
Epic, I do believe the market went back up because the market figures that since the sanctions did not include Really hurting Russia and Putin. That is because sanctions continue to allow them to use the SWIFT banking system, and thus business can continue. ....EU wants a way to pay Russia for all that oil! Don't want to anger them too much.

Charts as of a few minutes ago. Oddly, my simpler parameters for entry have hit. But because we are still in overall downtrend, I will limit % if entry. Figuring it out now. Best wishes to you all! :D:D:D

I entered market. Risky but Slow Sto dropped below 20 and now rising. Just doubt Anyone will put in any tough sanctions against Russia, so EU will not have its oil and natural gas from Russia disrupted..business as usual. Sick! :(

Entered... I20-S20-C20-G40 Best wishes to you all.
 
Yes, I know Shitepoke.. But strategy parameters hit and I am trying hard to stick with it. I will likely exit within a couple days. Will see... Pretty scary! A lot will depend on what happens this weekend... I may need to hide in a closet or cry if it all goes wrong. :17:

Holding through the weekend is a bit of a risk, but with the trading restrictions.. Then again, a fresh couple IFTs on Tuesday - my precious, my precious IFTs... :bigeyes: must keep them!
 
I feel dizzy from all this up and down action :sick:

I moved a small amount in yesterday but now I'm thinking I should have added more with todays action, so far looking good but anything can happen
:rolleyes:
 
Feeling good about a short rally, I was prepared to use my last IFT for a 50%-75% allocation, then I got busy at work (perfectly fine!) and just missed the noon deadline. I so very much despise the archaic noon deadline with the flames of a thousand burning suns.

Thank you DBA for your contribution to the forum. I don't post much but I am always lurking and learning. Maybe someday if I have something constructive to contribute I will get more active. Until that distant day, keep up the great work.
 
Oh Whipsaw! My precious...my precious! I love Lord of the Rings...Golum is soooo creepy!

Pippin (character) sings a Beautiful song and has a beautiful voice.. Thank you Raven! Yesterday, I got about 3/4 of the way though the 4+ hour extended edition of the 3rd Lord of the Rings-The Return of The King. I heard his voice last night, when Pippin sang for the crazy King. I don't know who the actor/singer is. I will need to look it up. So maybe this weekend, I will get the chance to start the Hobbit. It has been many years since I saw Lord of the Rings trilogy and thought it best to rewatch beforehand. Plus watching on big HD TV...:D
