Hi KK... Yep they are playing in Las Vegas ...Oct 6,7,8... House of Blues and they have VIP packages with meet and greet, but not sure on availability. I am seeing them in Austin, so thats very convenient!!! But they did not have VIP packages. But thats okay...i got to meet them 3 years ago in Kansas City at the Starlight (outdoor) amphitheatre. That was an awesome concert and we were in 2nd or 3rd row, center of stage.

I just found out Gladys Knight is playing at the Winstar casino just across the State line in Oklahoma Sept 9th (about 5 hr drive). Thinking about it... Last i looked they were back to row 22... Dang Ive gotten so spoiled, i only want tickets within first 10 rows! Lol..... :cheesy:.
 
I hear ya girl ! Why not have the best seats! I'm jealous that you get to go to all these concerts, that's the one thing I miss about living on the mainland. I used to spend most of money going to concerts and clubs, now I spend it on traveling. Have fun and sing your "heart" out!!
 
Hi... So looking at charts again! Its been awhile! Here are some daily charts. Same story...the Bollinger Bands for S and C fund are VERY tightly wound....still...they are the tightest/most contracted Ive ever seen. I am actually very surprised to see them this contracted....amazing! Indicates a big big move coming. But which way??? Well....First off, I see MACD sloped down and below it's signal line on both charts. Slow Stochastic did not drop below 20 for S fund but it did just touch it for C fund...So its now going up... A bit. Gotta wait for MACD to start sloping up. Then will jump. But not just yet...getting close but MUST SEE which direction it breaks... even though I would like to use an IFT this month. Oh well....

Oh yes....the 10 and 20 daily EMAs are almost merged and flat lined since about August 9. Crazy!

The stall is confusing... But will stick with strategy. Im telling myself... ..not yet....be patient! :suspicious:

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

Hi! Well looking at charts again. Will wonders ever cease!!! I guess I'm feeling optimistic, happy and wanting to look at charts again. Son now settled at school in San Antonio!

C fund - 10 and 20 day EMA lines look like they are starting to SLOPE downward....well at least the 10 day is. The 20 is flat lined.

S fund -the 10 and 20 EMA daily slopes are still sloped upward. Same thing as yesterday. ..BBs still tightly coiled, getting ready for big move.

MACD lines on both are still sloped down.

S fund looks slightly better than C fund due to slope of EMA lines, BUT...Im staying out.... Strictly based on these indicators. I guess if jobs report is good but not too good (for fear of rate hike), then maybe it affects market upward??? Humm... But sticking to the indicators.

Good evening and Best Wishes to you on your Investments!!!!!! :D
 
Good evening,
Just a few observations. Charts have definitely changed since last week. Getting so close to entry now. I like the S fund now but the Bollingers still so tightly contracted. Looks like it wants to break upward. But I gotta give it another day or so. Based on latest information, jobs report and more economic news that came out today, it would appear likelihood of a rate hike in September continues to diminish. Earlier today, Fox business reported chances down from above 20% to 15%. I am tempted to enter, but will wait.

Best Wishes to everyone on your investments!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
hum.. deciding to jump in. Probably S fund.

Yep... went in 40S - 15C - 10-I fund leaving 35 in G.

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

Wait and see what happens next week when the Fed acts. JMHO
Click to expand...
Well two officials speak at separate events on Monday! See that aricle I last posted. Cramer's list of events this coming week. The Fed does not actually meet until 21st-22nd, i believe ( week after this coming week).

"Monday: Fed president speeches, United Natural Foods
Cramer expects Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart to call for a rate hike on Monday. Things could get even worse when Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari speaks in the afternoon, as he could also say the U.S. needs a rate hike."

I DO expect further drops... Because there is no telling what those FOMC reps will say on Monday! Eeeeeeek!

.... Any thing any of them say individually, at any time (like what happened this past week ---Friday drop caused by Boston Fed talk--Dow logs nearly 400-point drop as rate-hike fear grips Wall Street - MarketWatch), has major impact on market.
Just goes to show how very sensitive the market is to Fed Reserve opinions or actions. Pretty scary when you think about it. Then again, market also did not like that ECB did not further ease their monetary policies more, which disappointed markets on Thursday.... European Central Bank Stands Pat as Draghi Defends Policy: Live

I can now only hope that Federal Reserve does not actually raise rates the following week.
Two choices for me:
--exit Monday or Tuesday and take the big loss and have no ability to enter at bottom as I will be out of IFTs for September,
OR
--stay in and be ready to take even more punishment and hope I can buy in with my remaining 35% at a BIGGER bottom (and hope I can spot the bottom) and hope for no rate increase and that market then resumes upward! Crap!! :(

So what say you? Option 1 or 2??

Hooe you are having a Great Weekend! Best wishes to everyone on your investments!!!!!!! :smile:

DBA, times like these I think of capital preservation. I think there will be quite a bit of volatility over the next few weeks. I was lucky to exit to G on Thurs. and sold most of my personal accounts positions on Wed. I'm leaving on a short vacation and didn't want to worry about what was going to happen. Finally I made the right decision. I think we may get a pop but who knows how the day will close. It's hard to know what to do with the restrictions we have. Best of luck to you.

Hello, here are some daily charts.

Pretty much decided to exit on next seemingly up day :( .... unless something changes. Probably will continue to see Lots of volatility before next week's Fed meeting.
At this point, I should exit immediately if I follow strategy. MACD was crossing positive when I entered last week, but it Whipsawed with the Fed Governor's comments Friday, then went up Monday due to more Fed speak...or so it seems, but today's drop just reinforces to me that other things are brewing.

I doubt Fed will raise rates, but things just don't seem right. Those Bollinger bands were very tightly wound and the drop Friday and today just don't seem enough given the tightness of BBs plus direction is now down... MACD now crossed below signal lines. Maybe a rate hold will cause market to rise, but I think chances are so low for an increase, not sure why it dropped again today. Think I heard it market could be considering global demand/supply for oil, etch. Hmmm... so Will see how it goes tomorrow morning. Really would like to stay in.... will see...

Well decided to double down. Im now all in with 15C-70S-15 I fund. Okay...now just hoping Fed Reserve does not increase rates. This move is aimed at trying to cut the loss from entry a couple weeks back at 65% (as price started dropping the next day) At this point, will be staying in until this purchase goes positive.

Hope your having a great day...Best Wishes to you all on your Investments!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Well...I should be positive on this buy now. I wonder if this has more room to run further up. I am going to say yes and stay in. Yep....MACD crossing its signal line...going positive on all equities charts!! :D. Gosh...wish I had put more in I fund!!

Good evening to you and Best Wishes on your Investments!!!!!!! :smile:

Feelin Good!!!

 
Well the market ended up today! Thats great but I am trying to figure out if its time to exit or stay longer. For now, I am staying in but I am leaning towards an exit....

For now, it Looks like DWCPF (S fund) is in a better position than SPX (C fund).

On S fund, the 10 daily EMA is above the 20, and 20 above 50. Slopes going slightly up. The Bollinger Bands are not sloped up or down. MACD is slightly above its signal line but flat. Slow Stochastic moving downward.

On the C fund, the 10 daily EMA is BELOW the 20, and 20 above 50. Slopes are ALL FLAT. The Bollinger Bands are sloped slightly downward. MACD is slightly above its signal line but flat. Slow Stochastic moving downward.
