Too high risk for me today.

This actually looks pretty good to me right now- we are developing a resistance point right around here. I ALMOST moved back into S fund today, but I chickened out in the last 30 minutes because I have a lot at stake. I’m simply not quite as risk tolerant as I have been when I was working.

One more day to see how the market acts- and then I’ll decide tomorrow if I want to take the risk of catching a bounce.

I’m zero for two I bounce tries this year. I really want the next one to work.

I had those exact thoughts before I placed an IFT this morning. I took a large dose of hopium before I got the nerve to hit "send."

Thanking my caution yesterday that saved me from an almost -2.5% bloodbath today. I’m gonna just kind of pull the covers up over my head and say a thankful prayer for NOT jumping in yesterday.

Wake me up when things calm down, eh?

In just the last five days in the S fund, we’ve seen a loss of - 7.62%.




I like that number- 7.62.

Please don't remind me.;damnit

Cutting off the natural gas for Poland is a major escalation in the Ukraine war. Russia is playing with fire, and it’s going to be the stock market that burns.

I need some more coffee to think about the next three moves. (Or what it’s going to look like a month from now. ). Not moving into stocks today, that’s for sure.

It’s been a while since we lost 3% in one day, hasn’t it?

Tuesday was a 3.39% loss for the "S" fund.

S&P 500-

Here is what I am seeing- I'm seeing a nice attempt to firm up around here, but it is NOT going to hold, in my opinion. It's just one more stop on the way to a further decline. My gut is telling me that we are likely to see a couple of days of pretty flat, and then another downward move- maybe to around 3850 to 3700, somewhere in that range.

Again, settlement here for a little bit, but in a couple of days, we drift down again.

 

[James48843]

Once again I am seeing another 100 to 150 points down, and then we’re about due for a reversal in the cycle of a SHORT upside. Target price on the S&P500 for me is still 3850 to 3800.

If it falls below 3875 tomorrow, I very well MAY jump in for a couple of days- just have to remember to get out by Friday so I don’t get stuck over the closure period.

Good luck. Looking for a bounce upwards soon for a brief day or two.

[James48843]

Alright- I'm going to GO FOR IT!


I see a SHORT opportunity to try and snag a 1% or two rebound- before the indexes start falling again.

Moiving all in today at the close- with a move of 65% "C" fund, and 35% "S" fund.

I'll either catch a little reoief rally,

-OR-

I'll get slaughtered in the process of trying . (BURNT HANDS).

Good Luck.

(If it works, it's going to be a 2 days at most in and out. )

Good Luck !!!!
For that, you deserve the B.O.S. Award of the day. :arms::arms::arms:

Tom:

I think you said something like “There is something else going on behind the scenes, what could it be?”

I think I figured it out.

I think the government is going to make an announcement in the next few days, that we have had first contact with alien life forms.

And that’s gonna cause some real ruckus in the stock markets.

I think a ruckus in the market would depend upon the scenario - 4th of July, X-Files, War of the Worlds, or maybe the Star Trek 'Who Mourns for Adonis' where the Greek Gods return and we herd sheep and worship them. :nuts:

​Did you move like you said?? The Auto Tracker doesn't indicate it. If not, the Academy will be taking their balls back. :suspicious: :laugh:

 

[James48843]

Yes, I did move yesterday?into stocks. And Yes, the auto tracker shows me today as 65% C and 35% S.

Damn tough question is whether to take today’s tiny reversal and jump back out, or wait another day to see if the rebound picks up and does a couple of percent.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

I’m thinking hard for the next ten minutes. I’m probably going to stay another day in, but I am not sure.

That particular episode remains in the back of mind even today after all those decades.

I was wondering what it was... Couldn't remember! Lol

And what group is sending out message to universe on where we are and DNA info, etc.. hummm.. They might already be here..
House is meeting about aliens next week.... I guess we could consider them illegally on earth. What should we do if they politely ask us to dinner?
