FAB1 Account Talk

;swearWell the market made a monkey outta me. ;swear Those recent comments were embarrassing seeing where the SPX is today.

But I did do a quick In & Out with a couple of the stock funds today (too late to log in the tracker though)

So if current gains hold I will come out with a little more than the F fund mustered in June.

And tomorrow starts a new round of IFTs. Can kick back on the lily pad a few days and see what develops.

Have a great Holiday weekend and Independence Day!

Nice move yesterday!

Nice move yesterday!

Um, yeah, thanks! I wasn't deeply invested at the time but it did save me some losses since that
was a real dropoff on Friday. The $SPX was running nearly flat for too long, figured if a market drop
occurred I might do better looking for a lower buy price.

Not sure I trust the speedy recovery in $spx today either - it seems to be running the race nearly alone and fueled mainly by the tech sector - over what? a new Iphone or something?? meh/:notrust:

Maybe hitting 200-day ema is still in play?? the week is young.... we will see.

100% I fund - With Rate Hike on hold for another bout looking for a nice bounce to the upper gap,, maybe EFA 60 ??

At least I will find it interesting to watch how the international growth is affected by a Fed Rate balk. Not sure if I want to have all my eggs in the I basket, but a couple anyway. Good luck.

 

[FAB1]

Now that EFA 60 is here (that was quick) - should I stay or should I go??

But with the dollar in distress and the US markets a little behind the I fund gains I hate to leave the party prematurely.

Not expecting a uninterrupted, prolonged rally here though, either.

I fund can be quite profitable, if you time it right.

OTOH-- I recall tsp member wwwtractor made around 48% gains buy&holding it right after the Mar 2009 lows. That was the year I joined and said Ho-lee-chit you can make serious money outside the Gfund... lol!

 

[FAB1]

Hmm. sure would like to see EFA break well above 60 region - thats a double top and kinda makes me antsy.


Taking the money and running may not be a bad thing with the month winding down, and seasonality being not so good in late Sept.... unless these gains do not hold out the day...

 

[FAB1]

Looks like a dodged a bullet when I sold the I fund last Friday.

Now if I can catch an upward moving Arrow - EFA 60 is way up there now.

 

[FAB1]

My earlier 2016 goal was to stay ahead of the G and C funds.

C got away for a while, but now the C/S funds are coming down to me!

 

[FAB1]

+11.80 Nice action on the $VIX - $SPX 200ema buy target?

It could fall that far today but would be a pretty sizable loss, Well, hey its October, right ?

 

[FAB1]

Nice recovery from the lows yesterday, the early gains today are fading in the stock indexes while dollar is strong

There is still a lot of uncertainly in the air and with the 20/50 emas as potential resistance FAB1 decides to sit it out
a little longer, I don't need no ride to the bottom!

 

[FAB1]

:1244: Everybody have a great weekend! Monday will be here soon enuf! :suspicious:

"This is what could happen to the stock market if Donald Trump wins"

THANKS CNBC with "Spooky" headlines like these its ALREADY HAPPENING - Idiots!

 

[FAB1]

100G today, after what typically would have been 2-3 days of gains we face a Market that seems to have an agenda to scare traders from voting on a certain candidate that Wall St fears.

And didn't pay to win.

F' this!!

 

[FAB1]

Heres what Pay to Play get ya (little) folks.

A pile of krap!!

 

[Cactus]

Yeah, that's what the market has given me all year. Watch out when I get out because it will most assuredly rally just at that point. I'm still batting -100%.
