Dow futures now down just 220 points. I’m thinking I may look at this as a buying opportunity day to jump back in. I’ll wait and see what this morning brings...

We are now just a hair's breath away from being off 10% from the previous high on January 26.

The next question will be- are we close to done, or are we only beginning to see the pull back?


Hmmmmm......

The average correction lasts about 41 trading days. We are now at about the 50th day. Are you close to being finished?

Probably not- as the drivers right now seem to include the actual pending trade war; a potential of a hot war in the far east; and a somewhat more sluggish growth overall.


Staying on the sidelines- have a great weekend!

Probably not. Lately we've been taking one step forward and three steps back. Everyone gets all excited about the one step forward but don't see that really we are going backwards at a pretty rapid clip.

Aw Jeeze - I’m thinking of diving back in. The afternoon looks nice, right up until the FBI raided the apartment and hotel. Then everything fell apart.


Well, they won’t raid that apartment again for a while.

Diving back in to C fund.

Looks like the S is doing better than C these days- so I am splitting my holdings between the two. 40% "C" fund, 60% "S" fund , effective at the close today.

Good luck!

nevermind.....

 

[James48843]

ok- so that was an interesting ride- but the whole discussion of $200 billion in trade sanctions makes me nervous.

Moving today to

88% "G" fund (figure that one out! LOL! )
02% "F" Fund (cause i9t things tank, I think a little tiny amount of F is going to help)
and
10% L-INCOME fund- (Just in case I'm wrong again, at least I have a toe in the market) .

as of close of business today. We'll see if this works out at all.

My account is sitting Sooooo close to a milestone that I have been trying to touch all year long (700K)- I'm less than 2K from that milestone, and have almost hit it so many times now, and then moved backwards, that I just want to cross my fingers, and see if I can get there.

Here is hoping to a POSITIVE OUTCOME TODAY!

Good luck.

Good luck on hitting the $700K milestone!

 

[James48843]

$699,731.

Drat.


Going rogue today. 60% "S" and 40% "C".

Why the heck not.

Careful. It could be a gap trap.

 

[James48843]

Well of COURSE it is- don't you know that I'm that one guy who gets burned every single time I get impatient?


:-0

 

[James48843]

"S" fund is now down a full percentage point today- I'm thinking that might just work after all!

Here is to a bounce tomorrow!

 

[tsptalk]

It happened again. When James gets one of these "feelings", throw out all other analysis. Nice call!

 

[James48843]

I just got lucky. FINALLy, after being within 3 k of the magic 700k number all year, and falling back five times, it looks like tonight I will have finally crossed that milestone.

A glass of wine!

Congrats on finally busting through and into that elusive 700k.

Note to Tom:

On Today's POLL: Once again, since I am on a multiple computer single-internet access point, your ICE CREAM poll was unable to record my answer.

For the record, I am definately a BUTTER PECAN.


Thank you very much.

And then Friday came, the market tanked, and I was left, once more, crying in my glass of wine.

(sigh).

I keep telling my wife- its not real money until it comes time to start taking it out.
