Gilligan's Account Talk

You have mentioned the possibility of a double bottom, and I believe we might have done so. Correct me if I am looking at the wrong places for the double bottom. I opened a chart of the benchmark S&P500 (SPX in Stockcharts) by using the setting 10min, 5day period and seems that it shows a double bottom by looking at the lows on August 6 (1427.39) in conjunction to the low point yesterday, August 10 (1,429.74). If this is correct, we might see the USM bouncing before the OSM -- it would be a welcome event!
 
The 2nd leg of the double bottom has not been set yet. It's still too soon to call. Friday was a day of indecision. The market doesn't know what to do!
 
Thanks Spaf! As always, I will be looking forward to further comments from you.:)

The truck fired right up little buddy; love the Holley electric pump.
By my charts... the I triple bottomed to a deep -8.6%, The S struck bottom 4 times (the 3rd @ -9.4%) and the C struck bottom 4 times (the 3rd @ 7.7%). I see upward mobility coming our way. I can also see more downward mobility as well (credit woes). But I'm willing to bet the bulls have had enough of this spastic bear $hit and are ready to trample for a few days. :)
5T,
It’s about time you cranked up the EC, it's been parked for a while, did you have to jump it? Following me can be dangerous, some times I get people stranded. You got a good price on the I-fund yesterday, the C and S come back up after being down about 2%. Was yesterday the double bottom? Looks like a “W” is forming...
 
The way I see it... if you were lucky (frustrated) enough to be on the side-lines and missed this 7.7%-9.4% dance, then going in now is a worthy risk; a technical buy. JMHOFWIW.
Guys,
I hope your positive outlook (mine also) pans out. Otherwise, the bears will do us in!

I don’t know if this is the double bottom or not but I like to buy low & sell high and these prices look low enough for me, especially the I fund. The market might drop another 5% but I’m still beating all the funds. I believe that we will see new highs in the next 3 months.
 
I am contemplating staying in the S fund for the rest of the year. My main concern is the I fund, last year the I fund was the best fund so that fund could pass me by. Now if we get another Hindenburg Omen, or the sentiment survey gets a reading greater than 4.0 or Ebb gets 4 stop signs then I might move back to the G fund.
 
psst... Gilligan little buddy... Ebb can only get 3 stop signs at a time. :cheesy:

I’m still holding 100% “S” fund that I’ve been for about the last 3 months. If I would of known that the dollar was going to drop so much, I would have left it in the “I” fund. I know from experience that you can’t drive forward by looking in the rear view mirror, otherwise you might end up in a lagoon.

I haven’t been posting here much because my log home is still under construction and I’m doing the 100-10-3-1 on another income property. I would like to close on one before the end of the year but time is running out. This year is going by so fast!
 
I'm glad to know You are back. When I started here, you were a fine and reliable guide. Take care.
 
Airlift,
I still check in to TspTalk from time to time. I don’t know what the stock market will do right now, so I stay in the S fund for the time being. I’m concentrating more on Real Estate right now, there are a few bargains out here. I almost had a good one, but someone else offered 25K more on a 750K deal.
 
Gilligan,
You missed the last real estate deal, but the bottom in housing is not in yet. Wish you well.
