Some awesome selections DBA, you're hitting well into my top 50. Stop Dragging My Heart Around is a fantastic duet with Stevie and Tom, one of the first music videos I remember, along with Hold On Loosely by 38 Special. Thanks!
 
Oh wow... glad you like selection. Stop Dragging My Heart Around is great. I love 38 Special too. Hold on Loosely is my favorite from 38 special. I got to see them once here in Austin back in early 90s. They played at the Aqua Fest outdoor music festival that used to be held in Austin back then...

Well... looking at charts I should exit the I Fund as MACD (3,39,3) has dropped below its signal line today. I had hoped the S and C funds would cross upward, so I could buy in...but they've not done that. If I exit, I'm out for the month. Just have my one IFT left.... oh what to do! :ugh2:

Best wishes to you all on your Investments!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Okay...buying in more...

40-I
35 S
25-C

This allows me to exit any fund partially, rest of this month, to get down to a longer term allocation that I will carry into November and beyond. Market is high but I need to start somewhere. S and C are crossing positive per current strategy but I fund is crossing down...just adding 15% to current I fund position from my prior 10/11 buy in. Market seems to want to climb overall so I'm going with it either up or down.

Plan is to stay at least 60% invested long term and only exiting when the 13 day EMA drops below 48.5 daily EMA line.
Long Term Allocation of 60%:
S-30
C-10
I-20

Short Term Allocation of 40%
Enter and Exit Equities based on chart's MACD 3,39,3 crossovers and seasonality strategy

I am FINALLY committed to a plan as I have now written it down. Will see if I can stick to this plan. :rolleyes:


Best wishes to everyone on your investments, and Wishing You a GREAT Weekend !!!!! :smile:

Sticky pants fully deployed... big earnings reports after COB tomorrow. So that should affect prices on Friday.
Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet (Google) reporting.... hoping they have HUGE profits.

I must admit, I just always want to bail as soon as I get into equities. Scares me more than Halloween! :D

Hope your having a Great Day and Best Wishes on your Investments!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Glad to see you hanging in there! I always want to bail too but hopefully this is just some tax loss selling and then we will shoot back up! :smile:
 
Hi PMaloney! Yep... hangin in but just barely... this is not good ... lots of nail chewing going on.... lol.. :laugh:
I need to make a new rule... no getting a mani/pedi when I enter the market. ...its a big waste of money.

Now that I have this new strategy, I am doing what I typically do.... question its integrity, etc. Not good ... I struggle each day to just let it ride....
But for now, I am trying to have confidence that the tax bill will get House approval, that Senators will just stay mum and that Little Rocket Man doesn't start blabbering too much.
Will see how this works out.... .come on Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft!!!! I do think the economy is doing good and there is high confidence, but I'm not surprised to see a drop as the Slow Stochastic has dropped from its embedded reading on S, C and I funds and the MACDs (default and alternates I am looking at) are all turned and crossed down. F fund has its 13 Day EMA crossed below 48.5 EMA, and that would be an absolute exit for me in any fund. For now the S, C, and I still have a 20 SMA (mid-point on Bollinger Bands) sloped up. So, I gotta think this is a short term weakness. But we will see....

Best wishes to you and everyone!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Gosh... Please pass the Gorilla Glue! Lol....yes that's a nervous laugh... :rolleyes:

I know, but I just keep wondering why did the great news on Microsoft, Alphabet amd Amazon...Coupled with news of second quarter in a row with report this morning of GDP at 3%, for this past quarter (in spite of Hurricanes), not give us a massive push up today?? Yes, FBN reporting about Merck and one other with big drop, but still..... Maybe Spain/Catalonia??? Not sure i buy that...maybe it has more to do with doubt of tax plan passing this year?? The budget vote yesterday was closer than expected in house and then another vote on Wednesday, Nov 1. Taxes to be covered by House in November and in December by Senate. Hummm.....

Hope you have a Great Weekend and Best Wishes on your Investments!!!!!!!!! :smile:

Wow...now the NASDAQ has 2.06% increase! C Fund doing really good with .76% intraday, and S Fund at .28%. Okay... Will be ready for Margarita time later tonight. Ive not yet exceeded high buy ins on 10th & 20th but its recovering and moving in the right direction. Woo hoo!! :D
 
Good afternoon, I like the continued action upward. You know, sometimes I do get a bit in a tizzy... Negative, deflated, but it always seems a great friend intercedes at just the right moment. They remind me to stick with my strategy and I really appreciate it...even if its a little stern...it's okay! Sometimes that does just the trick! :D. I'm really glad I stuck in today. After the cut off I even noticed some good signs in indicators...but i dont have that magical crystal ball, so I'll just keep watching and listening to everyone here! I'm feeling great and just a few more hours until happy hour....

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Well, I am trying to figure out if I want to bail out of the S fund and move more into I and C funds. Will likely exit S fund. Not yet decided.... ugghh.. having issues this morning with phone, etc and unable to send/receive, view charts, etc. Hoping its fixed soon. May need to test it again when I go on break. Dang it!!!

Wishing you all a great day!!! :smile:
 
Well S is doing better than C this morning. I guess you'd lean more to I then.

I'm sticking with S for now so you should be safe to bail. :sick:
 
Hi Cactus, My decision is made... lots of back and forth. But I decided to lessen my exposure to market --50% as I don't like what I am seeing in either the S or C charts. S fund has very tight Bollingers... actually the tightest I have ever seen, but any MACD (default or 3,39,3, etc) are all sloped down and have been crossed below their signal lines. Plus Stochastics are pointing down. C looks a bit better... definitely its EMAs still sloped up and BBs okay but again MACD going negative. I fund is still okay... looks like I might stay up a bit longer. F fund is one I do not like... but that and the I fund look better. F fund at least short term because long term it still looks like it is in a downtrend.. but for now it will work.

Obviously anything can happen. But I think I sleep better with my new allocation.

So new allocation:
S = 0
C = 10 (reduced from 25)
I = 40 (no change
F = 30 (added -- but short term only)
G = 20 (added )

I wish you well and everyone on the site... best wishes on your investments!!!!! :smile:
 
So while I reallocated based on my chart reading, this report did scare the bejeebees out of me a couple days ago. Economist Robert Prechter spoke with Neil Cavuto on Wednesday, talking about market top and credit bubble.

So, is this guy a perma bear???

He's described as world-reknown because he foresaw the 1987 crash. Not to be disrespectful, but if one constantly says the market will crash, you eventually would be right----right? :rolleyes: i just wonder because i thought i saw more bearish articles when i googled him... But It was a good short video... Makes it sound like we are approaching extreme exuberance.... I dunno...
