charts before noon cut off... a bit early today. SPX has MACD crossing positive, which is an entry signal. However, I am getting ready to run out the door... so very doubt ful I can transact today. I do not like that it is already at 80 on Slow Sto.. and upper BB. HUmm... will look again tomorrow. I also do not like to transact on week when Fed speaks... it is this week right or is it next week??? In any case, I will looking again tomorrow. DWCPF also is starting to look promising with a reverse crest developing in MACD.

Best wishes to all!

I'm taking your comments as trading advice... Lol I'm 100%G now too but was 40% c 60%G forever..

Charts before noon cutoff! Okay. So I entered today... dipping my toes. Although I must say, I do not plan to ever go more than 50%. Just too close to retirement to risk so much. So, I entered IFT to go S20% (as it looks like it's just getting started..has not crossed over/up on MACD but histogram is rising and looks like it is going to go up) and C10% (because it did cross over on MACD yesterday and 50 day EMA for S&P looks good). Will see how this works out. I fret every time I go into the market. I seriously dislike risking anything.... nervous LOL ...:worried:
BEST WISHES to you ALL! :smile:

So... I'm retired... And I had 40% in for all the big drops.. I just refuse to budge until it comes back.. It always does.. Except for lost earnings during those down times I guess. It just seems like being out of the market is worse than sitting on the sidelines all the time. Can't hardly live on the returns from the G fund.

Logical and especially if you don’t need to tap the money during down years.

Charts before noon cutoff. Wondering how market will react next week with Fed meeting. Talking heads indicate no rate cut until later in year. The S and I funds look to be nearing a positive cross over in MACD but VIX is starting to go up (more fear). Best wishes to you and have a great weekend!! :smile:

Good morning, Here are charts before noon cutoff. Both S and I funds are very close to crossing positive in MACD. C fund crossed up 5 days ago. Best wishes! :smile:

We will not get a rate cut this first meeting. We likely will not get the amount of cuts some people are expecting. The Fed will want to be cautious. To get the soft landing, rate will go down a lot slower than it went up.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Very good points! Slower... but hopefully it does come down more. Seems they are now talking about cuts in May???

Charts before noon cutoff. BY COB yesterday, S and I did cross above their signal lines on MACD..so those are additional entry points. Will see how that fares. I already used all my IFTs, so will just stay put at 30% invested (S 20 / C10). Best wishes to all!

Charts before noon cutoff. C fund's MACD looks to be cresting, S&P 50 day moving average looks like its ready to go up. Will stay in longer. F fund looks like MACD is about to cross positive. Best wishes! :smile:

 

[mmk119]

is this a daily chart or did you change to an hourly?

 

[mmk119]

never mind. answered my own question by looking more closely - like I should have in the first place ;-)

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Charts before cutoff. Looks like S and C fund crossing negative on MACD so will likely move out, but enter into F30% and I-10% funds. Will see..
Best wishes!

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

okay. I reallocated. 60G-30F-10-I. fund. Will see how this works out.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Good morning, here are charts before noon cutoff.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

So I feel like kicking myself for my move to F and I fund yesterday, but I am sticking there. I looked at C fund underlying top 10 stocks and see that Meta is up over 20% today... no wonder C fund is up. Wow!

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Good morning, here are charts before noon cutoff. C fund's MACD whipsawed after noon cut off and after my exit last week. It is reversed now. Considering to exit I and F and enter back into C. Trying to find better strategy and getting frustrated. :notrust: Best wishes to you all!

Just soooo disgusted and frustrated! So TSP still sucks as usual. Tried to login online for 20 minutes and it would not respond. A friend tried the same as was unable to get in. Called TSP to transact by phone 12 minutes until noon and got person on line with 8 minutes to go. She talked slow as molasses and could not get it transacted in time. I hate TSP and can hardly wait to leave it when I retire.

Can anyone out there recommend a good alternative for retirement?
