That's probably because I'm subscribed to TSPtalk Plus. As of start of this year, I moved from Intrepiid Timers to the TalkPlus service for Tom's expanded commentary. I Mainly read the plus commentary when I have a chance, but have not had time. Don't actually follow sentiment; although if I ever do start doing that I would not talk about my moves. I probably should unsubscribe but signed up for a year. I like Tom's very good commentary....great analysis and shares lots ofI insightI. I may need to start using it more but for now still sticking with my strategy...except today...just not feeling comfortable with the market right now. So that probably means it will shoot out of the universe next week!!
P.S. If Tom wants me to refrain from discussing I will. But I'm certain he can tell I'm doing my own thing. will see. Sentiment is doing better than I am for now.

I'm liking FWM's strategy ( see his post #358). Very interesting and he is doing well this year. I can't decide what to do at this point. Surely seems the market is floating up but keep thinking the sky will suddenly fall.
Just looked at S fund daily chart (DWCPF) and at the weekly. MACD is so darn flat, but price point is still snugly staying up within a steady upward channel. Slow Stochastic slightly going down crossing its signal line.
C fund is in similar situation except it's Bollinger Bands starting to bow out although wide so don't expect a huge increase. That looks more inviting. MACD crossing above its signal line, but it's bothersome that the Slow Stochastic is moved below its signal line. It's like canceling out.
So at this point will sit on my hands a bit longer. Really don't like being on the sidelines. F fund is looking better for entry as BBs constricting, MACD looks to be crossing to positive and Slow Stochastic is moving up. But a lot happening now seems to be driven by financial earnings reports coming out each day and international markets. Hum.....so which way to go? F fund or equities?? So I just looked at DJT -Dow Jones Transports (link below). No direction.
I think I just convinced myself to stay out a bit longer. Best wishes to everyone on your investments!!!! :smile:

Wow! Waiting to see how it goes today and Monday morning and how much the market corrects for the news out of China. Everything so tied to world news now. Very difficult environment we're operating in. The F fund Bollinger bands are tightly contracted now. Definitely no move today.

Crazy day, eh? Not sure if buying today or wait for Monday and see if it goes down further. And if it goes up Monday, it's a lost opportunity today.

That's what we call catching a falling knife. Don't cut yourself. :worried:
Okay so a few media sites seem to say this could continue Monday. Now I don't know if I should put my foot in the water or wait till next week. I'm 80-G and 10-S and 10-I and it seems no one on here or in the media is giving me that "buy" feeling for next week. Might just stay as is or go 100% for G fund in the next 30 min
Can't win if your not in.
Just saying.
All markets down at least 1%. Could be a good buy situation. But that is a personal choice.

IMO - It's Greece not China driving the news. We have been waiting over a year for the other Greece shoe to fall and see what Germany will do about it. When Greece was given the first loan, there was so much talk about the problem of the austerity program + EU control + Germany's power + kicking it down the road + consequences of EU defaults that I purposely went into my bear cave and missed some good 2013/2014 gains. But we all knew that we would have to pay the piper sooner or later. Loans are coming due and the economy has not improved enough. So Germany has two choices, provide more money to Greece (Italy, Ireland,...) or let the country go bankrupt (or something in-between). The markets are anticipating that it will not be a new loan, but maybe it will be something less than bankruptcy. The weekend should bring some clarity as the EU negotiates a solution.

Personally I wouldn't waste a move here by going from 20% in the market to 100%G. I also wouldn't go 100% in the market, but that is just me. You have to ask yourself how much you are willing to lose. What is your risk tolerance? It's not the same for everyone
I feel the leaders of Europe knows the ramifications of letting Greece exit the Euro. If this gets resolved over the weekend it could be the cause of moving the markets to new highs. Let's hope they get it resolved, otherwise we will see the big correction begin. With the limits placed on the TSP trades you can't react to the market news events fast enough. I'll be moving to a self directed IRA in Jan. 2016.....

Yep...definitely agree it could be a lost opportunity, May turn around by day's end even. Then again it might set everyone off to trigger a big decline.... Who knows! Greece definitely in the mix too.

There sure is a lot to be said for that statement. This could be just a quick temporary blip. Then again and will kick myself on Monday for not jumping in. Then again, maybe there will be more blood on the streets next week. Who knows. I have been out since last Friday and it feels like an eternity!! I almost moved to F fund yesterday but hesitated. Have really felt its time for a correction, but SPX looked like it would be going up so I wanted to make good use of my last IFT of the month. But I just have not had the greatest feeling about the market...have that sinking feeling that the moment I move in it will go the opposite direction. Still looking for clearer direction and just doubt that will come anytime soon. Will see.
Best wishes to everyone on your investments!!!!!!!! :smile:
Have a great weekend!

Usually the reply was "reply hazy try again" or "cannot predict now" I have no idea if the 20 sided thingy was weighted that way or not but that was my experience back in the day.
