Thanks for the info. I forgot when speaking about the C and S I don't track the "correct" funds for those.

Your G fund info was a nice learning experience although I usually hold my breath and risk more perhaps than you.

Tom , i followed you into the i fund, stayed a day longer, did well, c and s all week , reaped the gains, but tomorrow has me concerned. i increased 30 c and 30 s, . i am concerned that you are on the side alot. do you always invest with such strategyand planning, or do u fly by the seat of ur pants sometimes.

i thank you very much for this site and your help,

I am usually pretty aggressive but I admit I have been trying to get a bit too cute lately. I can also tell that I'm doing things a little differently then if I wasn't telling everyone what I was doing. Now my ego gets in the way sometimes. How can I say the market looks terrible one day then get in the next? I never had to explain stuff like that before.

I get emails once in a while from people saying, "You told us to go into the I fund yesterday and today you're going back to the G?What the hell?"

Irealize some people don't get my emails until after the deadline, then a new change againthe next day can really make their heads spin. So rather than doing what I normally do, I worry about the reaction. I guess the only thing I should be worried about is getting the best return. That's the bottom line.

I like to hear whenyou folks are making your own allocation decisions based onreading my comments,reading and discussing the market situation on the board, and listening to market news.That's what this is all about. But some people are still very new and are learning as they go anddon't feel comfortable yetmaking their own decisions. But I can see that changing already just from the feedback I get. We're all learning everyday.

Thanks everyone,
Tom

Tom your advice appears to be very good and have followed what you saying closely this combined with following what is happening in the world seems to strenghen my decisions on moves. I have stay 30 c 30 s & 50 I tommorow may prove to be bad but i hate this early in the month to be sitting on the sidelines. The only corncern i have now is the I is about to reach previous peak and will drop back so if I looks good tommorow i will pull and be just 50 c 50 I. I think the I reached 13.64 2 or 3 weeks ago. keep up the good work.

I too usually do well when Tom makes suggestions. Must be quite a pressure however. Today I deviated slightly but was still ahead of the game. Last summer-fall I figured this out for myself, to manipulate the allocations. Even my staff got into the act and we started looking daily versus the whatever attitude we used to have (mostly the G). Today, we are making decisions based on everyone's input as well as the market's current status. Bottom line is not to lose any, and to jump ahead grabbing gains when the situation presents itself. That's why we want input from everyone before the deadline. You can bet that we are waiting, watching the message board at 10:0am-11am everyday. Thanks to all who add their ideas and strategies. Welcome to all newcomers!
