Here are charts before noon cut off. I was thinking about entering S and C fund a little today, but decided to stick with the indicators that I use.
While Stochastic has crossed above the 20 line and RSI is going back up, I typically do not like to enter until I see RSI hit 50 on the way up. So, with that, I am going to hold off. BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL!!

Good morning, Here are charts before noon. charts not looking much better from yesterday. If I were going to get in, I would enter C fund but definitely not buying in now. Too volatile and no trend established. If I were already in, I would consider just staying in to wait long term for the market to recover. This morning Varney was told by one of his guests that it was a little too late to rebalance portfolio and to just hold pat. Of course, I would exit because I do not have the stomach for big drops especially when close to retirement. No sticky pants deployed here. Best wishes to you all!

Charts before noon cutoff. So, I was thinking to enter market in anticipation of Holy week and understanding that Congress may be on Easter recess; thus, maybe not a lot of activity from them on tax cuts/budget and so with holiday, thinking this could be positive for market.... but indicators have not yet hit to enter. So, I will continue to sit on sidelines. Best wishes to you all and Happy Palm Sunday!

P.S. I fund looks most promising because RSI is just above 50 right now (along with Stochastic going up and MACD histogram bars getting smaller to go positive) but still hesitating to enter it. I've never been very big on I fund and with only one IFT, I am going to see what happens Monday with S and C funds.

Charts before noon IFT cutoff. Best wishes to you all!

Indicators are looking close to entry for C and I funds, but not enough for me to enter. Watching.

Good morning, Here are charts before noon cutoff. Best Wishes!
Considering a small move in today... just not yet decided.

Entering 15-I, 10C, 10S 65G

Thank you TNWhiskey... my favorite is Jack Daniels, Gentleman Jack although I also love that Canadian Crown Royal.

Here are charts before noon cutoff. Best wishes to everyone! Waiting for positive news out of the tariff negotiations with France. Thinking that C fund could go down next week based on its heavy IT sector and revenues for that sector coming next week, but will see. Tomorrow is last day to exit before Good Friday. Sticky pants are slightly deployed... I am only in 35% and 15% of that is in the I fund.

Here are charts before noon cutoff. I fund continues to look good. S fund okay. C fund is concerning due to RSI still under 50, and Stochastic is getting rounded head... Think it will come down, possibly due to effect of tariff negotiations on tech sector. Debating exit on C fund only. Will see...

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

No exit...could not transact without fully moving to G fund.

 

[rangerray]

That is bothersome!

DBA, I was able to move 100% of my C to G yesterday, while preserving my I amount, in the "Move Money Between Funds" option. I'm pretty sure it would have to be the entire amount of the fund (in this case C) going to G, as I had executed my other 2 IFT moves earlier this month. But it allowed me to keep my I. Maybe something to try.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Hi Mamikin, Thank you for that information ... very valuable. I had never tried that option to select "Move Money Between Funds" option. Yes, I already have two IFTs for the month as well. Very interesting. I will determine if I still want to exit C fund today and see if using this option allows me to do it. Gosh... but what an awful day to exit C fund. Will see. Thanks again!

Charts before noon cutoff. I should sell everything based on charts... and I was unable to exit C fund last week (due to not knowing it's possible to exit partly after your 2 IFTs used by going to option indicated by Mamikin). BUT due to horrible selloff today, I am going to stay in market today with the hope that tomorrow will be better. Hope is not a strategy, but at this point I do not want to lock in the loss, so I am going to hope for a little bounce to exit soon and hope that some positive news comes out on tariffs, tax cuts, etc. Is turnaround Tuesday still working?? I am tired of trying to time the market with all this volatility so maybe I will need to just scream uncle and go to G fund and stay there for a long time.

Best wishes to you all!

I only discovered it through trial and error, but anything positive we can accomplish with the restrictive IFT limits should be shared here for members to use! I don't post often here, but I'm a frequent reader and have benefited from postings from more active members like you.

Good morning, here are charts before noon cutoff. Charts looking better.... believe a tariff deal could be cut to lift further, but earnings this week seem promising per reports seen on FBN ... will see as I am sure no one really knows. But still staying in. Best wishes to all!

Here are charts before noon cutoff. Thinking to reduce exposure to pocket some gains as this entry has turned positive. Will see...
Best wishes to all!

I did reduce exposure to 2.5% C, 2.5%S and 3.75% I. Yep... its a mess. This happened because I tried the new method that Mamikin mentioned and it worked! Yeah!!! But I was confused and short on time. Ravensfan helped me and we both ended up submitting entries successfully.

The first screen (moving from) has you use either a percentage or dollars representing what you want to use out of what you are invested. So, I input to reduce C and S by 75% (of 10% invested in each), and 75% of I (of 15% invested).

Then 2nd screen (moving to), I entered 100% under G fund to indicate that this is where the moved funds were moving.

Then 3rd screen (review screen) shows both sides of the transaction. Left side of screen shows the percentages of the investment being moved. So it showed the 75%C, 75%S, 75%I. On the left side of screen it showed 100% G fund and shows the total dollars that will be moved at the bottom of the screen.

So, looks like I moved 7.5% of my 10% that was in both C and S fund to G fund to leave me invested 2.5%.
I moved 11.75% of my 15% invested in I fund to leave me invested 3.75%

Just to clarify. Using that method was not a "mess". It was a success!! So thanks Mamikin!! I just didn't have enough time to figure out how much to reduce. Glad I pocked some gain yesterday as I see futures are down right now (though not by much).

Will not be posting any charts today or tomorrow so best wishes to everyone. Current automatically updated charts can still be seen by going to the PermaCharts located on my thread at p430#5159 once the market opens in a few minutes.

Good morning, here are charts before noon IFT cutoff. Best wishes. Still in 9% in stocks (mix). I was thinking to exit C fund and note that S fund and I fund do not look much better (if your looking at RSI). Seems we have drops when RSI reaches 70 but at this point none of them have done that and are flat lining. humm...
