Intrepid_Timer's PUBLIC Account Talk

End of June update.

The below are my TSP returns in various time frames as calculated by an independent 3rd party:

For comparison purposes, here are the returns of the S fund:

View attachment 19413

If one were using all the signals produced by my timing system in a self-directed IRA using funds similar to our S and F funds (or if we had more IFTs), their return YTD would be 19.96%.

My YTD returns as of Friday's close using 3X ETF long/short funds are:

TNA/TZA: 49.20%

FAS/FAZ: 62.26%

These are all updated and verified daily in my commentaries.

*My 30-day return matches what the S fund made, but I was only in the S fund for three days so my risk was greatly reduced.

A dead woman walking. The breast is not the problem - when it spreads to other body organs is when it will kill her in a very painful manner.

I know some people love or hate Jim Cramer, but he had some interesting commentary on last nights show about Fibonacci levels. He talked about the predictions from Carolyn Boroden who runs the website FibonacciQueen.com

This is the link to the Cramer video: Cramer Gets Help From the Charts - CNBC

Thanks for info! I like watching Cramer, but I also think the big money guys use what he says to their own advantage for short term trades. Almost like a contrarian indicator.
 
Awesome returns man, I hope I'm as good as you someday

Nice Link! Remember the famous Cramer saying "DON'T FIGHT THE FED". (LOL)

I wonder if the "Chart Queen" had accounted for QE3 or not?

So far, all we have really gotten from QE3 is a one day spike...............I would think oil would be going up, but it's gone down since the announcement also. SELL, SELL, SELL!! ;)
 
I've often heard Cramer say that oil going down, and carrying over to the pumps, acts like a tax cut and helps stimulate the economy for awhile...wouldn't that go along with "buy-buy-buy" (stocks)??

Yes, but higher oil means increased demand and more profit for the energy companies also. I think we should watch dog food sales. The more sales, the less people can afford to give them human food......:(
 
Thats funny...I have 4 dogs...and am PetSmart or PetCo constantly. Noticed a few months ago most dog food companies switched from 35lb bags to 30 lb bags...while keeping prices THE SAME!
But yesterday, noticed quite a few deals, with some of the higher end dog food I typically buy for near $50 on sale at 5-10 bucks off. Hmmm??


Either people can only afford the cheap stuff, or they have reverted to eating their dogs, so the demand is no longer there..............:blink:
 
I noticed similar pattern with petfood back in 09 when I still had pets. shrinking food bag sizes, same price. While I miss having an animal and get tempted to renew the association at times, I could see the pet-affordability crunch coming even then, and when mine passed on from natural causes, chose not to put myself in position of pet responsibility for years to come by getting replacements, I may need the mobility and flexibility that doing without provides. I will provide home for parent's animals if it comes to that down the road anytime the next few years. May not come to that, the pets are getting up in animal years themselves at this point.

Maybe we could look at animal shelters as an indicator of the economy? I'm actually reminded of how the new "Mega rolls" of toilet paper look an awful lot like the old regular ones.........:rolleyes:
