ILoveTDs Account Talk

With the S&P 500 down 16 I would expect AGG to be up higher. It was higher yesterday then it is today, and yesterdays S&P was flat. Were is everyone putting their money? Buying gold I suppose.

I wonder if investors are just taking their money out for the weekend, but not putting it anywhere else because they plan to buy back in Monday. Who knows ....
 
Thanks.

I'm a young pup and up for the additional risk. I never go G Fund.

But if I were playing with a big account, which I ain't, me and the G Fund would probably be more of a friend.
 
Looking for another 2.5% drop in the S Fund before I get back in. So far looks like today will help a little with that. We'll see how the rest of the week ends up.

It'll be tough for me to stay out if we drop another 1% or so
 
Best of luck bmneveu.

We just kissed the 80 day SMA for the S Fund today. Ideally an entry point for me will be 4-6 down days in a row and us kissing the 20 day SMA (currently 21.95). We'll see though.

You made an excellent exit. You don't have to be perfect to make the trade a good one - as long as you buy back at a lower price than you sold, you win. Careful trying to be too cute and get the ideal re-entry price. Just stay ahead of me. ;)
 
Hear you loud and clear Sensei.

Those are my ideal indicators, which usually don't happen. But you should always have a plan. In the end I will probably go with something close and my gut.

On a similar note I have found patience is sometimes lacking for traders, or at least for me. I don't need to get right back in C/S/I just because I don't want to be out of the market. I will be patient and wait for when I fell is a good time to get back in, but having indicators and goals seems to help me.
 
What's your next plan of action ILoveTDs? Today's rally sure faded early on and I wonder if it will pop back up or continue to fall.
 
I won't be getting in today for sure.

Unless the S&P 500 is down 20 points by noon tommorow I won't be getting in then either. Thursday and Friday I will look to see were we are and make up my mind. However, I won't be able to move Thursday since I take the last part of the CPA that morning and will miss the cutoff.

Gotcha! Thank you for your input.
 
Markets have taken quite a spill today. 20 points lower doesn't seem so far fetched anymore eh?
 
Well we got 11 points down on the S&P today, so another 10 points down tomorrow morning and I'll have to take a real hard look at if it is time to get back in.

If I had unlimited IFTs it would be a sure thing. I only have one left in the barrel though, and would also have to take that into consideration; e.g. how's my gut think July will turn out as I am out of moves, except the emergency parachute.

Take it from someone who has made a lot of mistakes worrying about leftover trades. Don't ! If it's a good move, just do it! If you run out, then you run out.
 
and they take us up.

Didn't quite make the 20 day SMA I had hoped for today. Got the last CPA exam tomorrow from 0900 to 1300 est, so I won't get a chance to even see the market until after the IFT deadline tomorrow, so I doubt I'll make a move; would have to be based on premarket futures which I don't like making a decision on.

Good luck everyone.

And good luck to you too, although i don't think you'll need it.

Your skill, diligence, and effort will carry the day.

Knock 'em dead, kid. Knock 'em dead.

You got this one now. Take it down.
