Probably wise. Have you seen this?

Chinese stock market chaos could be worse than Greek debt crisis
Click to expand...

Thanks for the article!! I read it yesterday morning and debated exiting my 60% investment in US stocks (40%S/20%C) but got busy at work and only had minutes to get out. Ugghh....decided to just let it ride. Definitely agree China is the giant that can sink the boat.

So... is the perfect storm (Grexit, China, and "computer glitches" ) that will be the catalyst for global meltdown. Is this just the start????? :worried:

I'm now right at my stop point. Will debate exit tomorrow. Just don't like thought of jumping out at a bottom. Would still have another IFT to get back in this later month ....but things really not looking good. Will see how tomorrow goes.

Best wishes to everyone on investments!!!!!!! :smile:


More on Greece...

Greece submits aid request; still to send full plan
 
Just FYI:

(btw, Martetwatch, under 'HOT TOPICS' has 'Greece in Crisis' and 'China for investors',
hmmm....wonder if China owns Marketwatch? :laugh:

"Morgan Stanley, which made a good “sell” call on China weeks ago, now expects Shanghai to fall as low as 3,250 by mid-2016. Citigroup analysts told clients the selloff has a “long way to go.”

I agree, but I think it could go much, much lower."

Opinion: China’s stock-market crash is just beginning

China

Nahh....... Can't imagine you being absolutely deranged. By the time you reach the deranged stage Greece, China, Spain, Puerto Rico will be the least of your worries. Criminy...there was a forum member years ago who went by name "Puerto Rico"....He kinda vanished, hope he didn't get to the deranged stage. Deranged, sounds creepy.

 
Hi Exnavyew and TSPR, Gosh those links are creepy!! This is how I felt most of the week, and I'm fairly certain Next week will be more of the same.

See clip... I felt like most of these at some point during the week, and then felt like the last one late today!

Oh.....what will Monday bring us??? LOL. :laugh: or :sick:

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

I am exiting on today's good news. Then will be ready to reenter if something doesn't go as expected. I will have made money!! Just hoping any gloomy news does not hit this afternoon.

Best wishes to all on your investments!!!! :smile:
 
You are in good company, many people are exiting fully or partially to F and or G. I will still wait and see, my money isn't hurting me drawing that awesome G Fund interest. 2095 is some kind of resistance today and there is as Tom would say "gaps that need filling below".

DBA! Makin' some hay! There is still much concern it seems, a real mix of entries and exits on the AT; China still looming... PR? I would have liked to have scalped a few percent over the last few days... still spooked, often my achillies heel...

Hi DBA. Just curious as to why you are exiting right now? Thanks.

Hi, I am exiting because Greece is not a done deal. Sounds like they are more sensible now but it must still be voted on and approved. That could get very tricky.

This deal is tougher than the last. Greek parliament must agree and vote. If it falls through prices will fall. If it approved prices will rise. In the end it is still a crap shoot.

Folks are happy now and hopefully that will last until end of day. But if tomorrow or Wednesday, it does not materialize, the prices will plummet and I think they would go much much lower. Then that might be a better buy opportunity. In either case, my exit today would give me a good amount of profit based on fact that I last got in on June 30. Im not going to be greedy. Plus I will sleep better, plus China still looms. Maybe I will lose out on potential higher prices, but for now I am good. Will see....

Best wishes to you and all on investments!!!!!!! :smile:

P.S. Plus...just tired of screamig like one of those goats from my prior post! :rolleyes:

Got out of the I-fund (locked in recent gains and concerned about current Greek drama) but still in C and S. Gonna stick with 'The System' and see what happens. Will 'the market' tire of the 'Greek drama' at some point and focus on China and/or earnings reports that are rolling out?
Overall seems like the U.S. economy continues to improve so staying in C and S for now.
That was a boring comment...wasn't it? Ha! :laugh:
 
Thanks to all you guys and gals for your thoughts and comments. It's always helpful. I am always improved by hearing your ideas and points of view. Sometimes it can help me change my mind on a decision to get in or out or change my allocation; or strengthen my confidence in a decision. Usually that's when I have to step back..:D:D:D It took me more than a month on the sidelines before I took the partial plunge back in on Friday. I hear DBA and EXN. There will be volatility over the next week or two. But...I'm an investor not a trader and that is the reason I'm going to stay in partially over the next few weeks. I'm hoping for some nice up's even if we have some negative days. I think the market is ready for a little up action after the last month and a half. From later May through June was nothing but a "downer" environment. I hope Burro is wrong about Sell.. Sell.. ;Sell but only because I'm in. Hoping to shake off some of the last month's bad karma..:D:D:D

Hi FS, I'm with you.......soooooo tired of Greece!!

Can't really use my indicators because effects on market are so very news-driven this past month or so. My nerves are frayed. I would like for things to settle so I can rely more on technical indicators. I feel like I am at a high-end Roulette table with my retirement money!

Earnings reports coming out for Q2 so that will have impact. I think tomorrow maybe a medium up day or could be big again if more positive news comes out on Greece. Heck ... It might be an up week overall.

But For now, I still don't trust the Greek deal....until its approved. So will see what tomorrow and Wednesday brings. I am just going to wait until Greece news dissipates a bit. I was spooked but now that I am out its nice to take a short breather---relieved!! I don't mind getting in after it goes a bit over the 18 day SMA as long as the Slow Stochastic is heading upward and the waters look smooth and price looks like its going into an upward channel... Will see....right now the bands are wide!

I want to get back into US equities as soon as possible because I do believe this market has more upside. Would like to see S&P 500 break above 2120 or 2125 to get better indicator that the next leg up is on its way....OR.....go above 1130 on SPX. We did not take out the January or March 2015 lows on SPX and so that is good.

Best wishes to you and everyone on your investments!!!!!! :smile:
 
Thanks DBA! You made me realize that I'd better start doing some charting tonight to see exactly how much moxie I have for this market.:D:D:D

The long term charts I did last week indicated a descending triangle. I remember Kramer's recent discussion of a retracement soon so I don't plan to be foolhardy. Just cautiously greedy..

Gosh......One more very important thing that I failed to mention on my earlier post.

China still looms. Things do not make sense!!

It seemed they were going into collapse for the last month and last week.....and I understand, it was from overpriced stocks and high leverage (high margins). So the cure was the Government just imposes a stop on stock sales to prevent the collapse!!! Now that is much scarier than Greece.

China buys a lot of our bonds and buys from us. So when is that knife going to fall. I should think it will come fast and without warning.

So for that reason alone I am thinking the strategy for me is to NOT be fully invested for the next few months. Maybe a shorter term in and out to reduce risk exposure??? I don't know the answer but welcome any thoughts. So its kinda hard to have sweet dreams right now.

Best wishes to you and everyone on your investments!!!!!! :smile:


P.S. Yes I am still spooked.
