ebbnflow's Account Talk

[cap32]

wow come back from a fire and it seems like the board has a different feel to it. It is interesting to see how this site is evolving. My 2 cents is, Make this a fee site and share the wealth of info. Any other way and it will divide the message board into seperate sites with there own following. personnally I would only pay for one of the 3 services

Just made the IFT to the I-fund. I sure hope the ebbtracker has snapped out of its down cycle. Good luck all!

Interesting topic folks! I know some folks (who subscribe) would still want to be tracked because they won't be following the ebbchart exactly and just plain want to see how they are doing compared to other folks.

They will diversify their allocations, be exposed to stocks only a fraction at a time, or flat out go against the ebbchart on some days. Maybe we could have a separate log in for subscribers who still want to be tracked and be able to see other folks' IFTs for comparison. A separate thread only for subscribers to drop a line about their thoughts for the day's trade or about the ebbchart? Maybe Tom will be able to sort this out.

Just looked at ebbcharts for the rest of the week and it looks promising. Thurs, however, is a pattern 7 which should be a safe haven to save losses. Can anyone explain why I is recommended for Thurs? TIA

Pattern 7 appears to be weak, so it is being played as a contrarian move... I think...

Good catch, Red_65_Mustang! It's a stock pattern that became a contrarian pattern. So you're right, it's should be played as a safe haven pattern.

I'll be changing it tonight.

Isn't Thursday the G-penny day anyway? That would be another reason to move to the G.

 

[ebbnflow]

Thanks, oreo! I was about to put an F in there. Forgot about the G-penny.

Ebb -

No problem. I'm glad I remembered.

After last week I thought for a moment we were changing to the Crystal Ball! Not really, just was not sure.

Thanks for catching "my" penny Oreo.

With all this talk about the complexity of enforcing a paid service while not ruining the open forum concept, I'd like to call peoples' attention to an earlier post of mine, not because I'm vain (but I'm not denying it) but because, for some reason it seemed to suddenly end what had been a very active dialogue taking place on the Weekly Tally Talk forum about a week ago (if anyone's interested in the whole script). Some good points were made and I was hoping Tom would chime in with some feasibility checks on some of them. I hate to see this awesome site fractionate into a dozen or so paid subsites because so much of this awesome dialogue could be lost.

Ebbsystem is still in testing mode,it is a great system but I don't follow it all the time, I make decision after reading other member discussion 350Z,12%,Dr Fautus,Paladin,James,Qibovin..just names of few,I read them all ..not only discuss of the funds,but also discuss Ebb patterns and how effective of set patterns,questions and suggestions to Ebb to improve Ebb system,if get Ebb out of MB discussion,I am sure it will kill tsptalk interrest.We just renewed Mutual fund newsletter $89 for 5 years(<$18/yr) been making 20+% YTD for us.
why not charge small fee to tsptalk site,give a chunk to Ebb,some to Tom and everybody happy.

zimmy,

I wouldn't be so sure anything will die around here just yet. There is a lot more to life and investing than the Ebbchart - don't be so serious my friend.

Thanks Birch for responding,I forgot it is not fair for people who have their own system and reseach,buy and hold ,DCA strategy and contribute regularly to MB like you do..buy and hold, DCA it worked out for me before tsptalk,if IFT fee starts,probably I will go back that way.MB dicussion greatly attracts this site interest.I hope whatever Tom decides will be the best for Ebb(he deserved it) and this board.Thanks for your contribution Birch.

 

[ekatteng]

Would you please explain this? How are IFT's costing us thousands of $$$?

Check "Fair Valuation" from TSP.GOV

 

[Hallatauer]

From what I've read, the cost per participant is in the 100ths of a penny.

 

[ebbnflow]

Made the move to the G-fund to get the G-penny tomorrow. What happened to the FTSE and FCHI? One moment they were over +1.00%, then boom! Something must have happened, our market was hitting highs, but those two European indices just went south.

Ebbnflow,

Thanks for all your hard work and great returns.

I have a question, about your move to G, I am looking at your chart and there are two $ signs up to friday. I though two or more means good. Sorry if this has been addressed.

The EbbTracker is I fund for Friday. The move to G is for Thursday...

Takes some practice to keep this straight

 

[Sonic]

My question I guess is about todays move as I am seeing two $ signs.

 

[Sonic]

yes it does take some practice figureing it out. But way to go Ebb great returns. I guess I dont need to totally figure it out as long as I know what you are doing. Count me in on next years pay service. I usually dont follow 100% but definately take your move into consideration. Thanks guys. Let make some money

 

[ebbnflow]

Thanks, SkyPilot! That's right, I IFT'ed to the G-fund before noon today to be in the G-fund for tomorrow (Thursday). Sonic, if you're asking why it's the G-fund instead of the I-fund, you have to scroll down and read past the ebbchart. But first, read the commentary on the ebbchart page. It says something about contrarian patterns.

We're just playing the percentage through the patterns. That's right, you have to learn something about the eight different patterns that you see everday on the ebbchart in order to understand it a little better. The ebbchart pattern tally (2nd chart) will tell you how each of the patterns are doing in terms of percentage accuracy and gains using the different funds (C, S and I).
