Seems like I remember that your system does best when the market is "rough". Didn't you make it through the May-June-2006 pullback without too much damage?

Good luck!

Yep, I need some dips to sidestep.

Nice to be on the of Super-fund (+.95%) for a change. You can't help but think we're in good hands when Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet) and Google make up part of the fund's components.

I just realized I made up almost 2.00% of the -3.00% I lost at the beginning of the year in the past two weeks. Let's hope for more of the same. Good luck everybody.

Congrats on that recovery! Good thing you updated your tracker. I definitely love that S Fund so far. It's been smokin'! It might be time for the large caps to show the little guys what real strength is.

Thanks fabijo! It really does make a difference. Now all I have to do is learn how to stick with the plan. I thought I had it all figured out -- two stop signals equal safety haven. Stop signals came from the C and S-fund for today, and yet I pushed the I-fund through. Greed sure has a way of getting the best of us. With that in mind, I'm parking it for tomorrow (Friday) on the F-fund. I won't try to play the S-fund with the stop signals coming from the C and I-fund. I'll be back in stocks Monday.

Ebb are you considering the potential penny for the G fund for Friday or Monday?

 

[ebbnflow]

Sponsor, almost everyone thinks the G-penny is coming on Monday. And Monday I'm back in stocks, so no G-penny for me.

 

[airlift]

Okay, keep your notices going. Have a good weekend!

 

[ebbnflow]

It's a toss up for me between the S and I-fund. Went with the I-fund, though. :blink:

 

[ebbnflow]

I had time to review the newly added cross-checking function for the ebbtracker and I think I found the best way to optimize the system. The cross-checking function actually comes from the C and S-fund being incorporated into the mix. I learned that I could have gotten +1.9% from just nine trading days between January 16 thru 26.

The rules are simple and straightforward:

a) Two or more stop signs = safe haven (G-fund)
b) Two or more dollar signs = stocks (I or S-fund) with I-fund getting priority over S-fund.

I'm going to take my emotions out of trading 'cause it's costing me a lot of moola.

Did you know that there is a fairly close approximation between the current bull run and 1995? They both look almost identical - could mean more good days and higher highs ahead.

 

[ebbnflow]

Birchtree, I'm all for it. With you leading the charge, we have nowhere to go but up, up, up and away!

For what it's worth:

............TUE..WED..THU
C-fund.....

S-fund....

I-fund.....

a) Two or more stop signs = safe haven (G-fund)
b) Two or more dollar signs = stocks (I or S-fund). I-fund gets priority over S-fund.

Following the rules above, I'm on G-fund for Tuesday, and the I-fund for Wednesday and Thursday.

You're most welcome, Guchi, Sponsor!

I-fund....

Following the rules above, I'm on G-fund for Friday, the I-fund for Monday and the S-fund for Tuesday.

Going there too. You bet you have something good going for you and us! Thanks again.

I started tracking the C and S-fund late, but it looks like the cross-checking function is doing it's work. All the moves I've made so far using the new ebbtracker (started Jan. 16) are somewhere in my thread.

My C-fund picks are doing great (up 2.35%). I may have to think about playing the S&P e-mini futures.

You know your own stuff! That's your area of expertise. it makes a lot of sense for you to consider other indexes like the benchmark S&P 500 which is targeted to be beaten by most mutual fund managers. It's not like making all of Wall Strret millionaires, but only helping us here at TSP. Best wishes.
