FAB1 Account Talk

This trip UP has been so relentless it must be very frustrating to anyone waiting for a dip to buy into. I also wanted to buy at lower prices back at the end of March, there was no significant pullback but I invested anyhow b/c youve got to be in to Win.

I also finally relented last week and decided to do some chasing, which I hate to do, but I got tired of waiting on a pullback. I did take some off the table yesterday, but left about 30% in play, so I won't be totally out for the rest of the month.
 
I have a little spreadsheet I started to track my TSP activies. There is a
little notes section where I jot down what I think the market may do the next day.

I guessed we would see a dip or just a flat day.

Looks like (if this holds) there will be a little profit in ht C & S!
So I am not unhappy I missed the mark.
 
Overseas markets are d o w n.

Nikkei...11102.18...-171.60...-1.50%.
Hang Seng...21865.26...-292.60...-1.30%.
FTSE...5822.25...-2.70...-0.10%.
DAX...6292.93...+1.40...0.00.

Dollar is up.

This looks like a bad day for the I fund.

And probably not a "great" day for the other stocks.

The prospect of losing my month's gains is not appealing to me.
Nor is being "shut out" for the rest of the month should I decide
to move to safety on Monday.

Curse the TSP board for these crazy/ insane limitations!!!!!

Its just like the Goobermint to go from one EXTREME (unlimited IFTs) to the OTHER. This is a four Angry faces problem!!!
:mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Im resigned to losing some today

Question is , will this sell-off continue into next week. :confused:
 
Hardly a consolidation - this whole GS/SEC is just another planned "event" to further the poltical/financial goals of those in power.

Predictabily, the sell-off bounced off DOW 11,000 - see you all on Monday for business-as-usual.
 
LOTS of movment here in IFTs today

so far 2:00est - 31 transfers

about 60% of them appearing to be moving OUT to G or F. (run away!)
the rest are expecting the market to stay about the same. (like me!)
 
Notice that JTH - posted his 2000th post recently!

This is my 396th post,

is this MORE of a non-event? : P

Tell ya, what, FAB1 -
it looks like we are like the IRS - we don't deal in anything but numbers with ZEROS !;)
So in three posts you'll have it !! - can you wait?? :laugh:
 
A good day in the "S"

just about made up the last couple of down days.

my post #400. Life is good. :D
 
Deep cut in the I fund today looks like an afternoon rally might take some of the hurt off tho. S fund leading and already in the pos. area
 
I realize that buy n hold is prefered by some investors, but its becoming more obvious this is not the Í fund of 2009 yet we have a few holding it YTD and its just not paying off so far. sorry if this sounds critical, just kick me!!
 
more foney baloney posing as News about GS this morning. Heh. go on sell if you really think GS is getting in trouble you are really fooled. This happens early in the day so expect the shares of GS to be all bought back up before the close. s rockin may day monday is in the cards. buy c or s an be happy!!:D
 
The market giveth, the market taketh away & giveth back again - and so forth and so on. Blessed be the G fund! Yok Yok!
 
Looks like another Sell the News Day...ah well since we opened lower maybe this dip will be bought up quick enough the day winds up flat or some slight gains. Can always hope!!
 
4% has vanished from the I fund... Its time to stop selling & buy the dip investors. who cares about that little socialist utopia, Greece anyway? let them sink back into the dark ages they are toast
 
Looks like we found support, surprise surprise...

110 Bil EUROs getting forked over so the Greece issue is settled for the time being. Now maybe tomorrow the market can act on the USA indicators we had today and we will finish out this week in positive territory. :laugh:

Crossing my fingers cuz I hates to sell low. :toung:
