Okay... back to business.

I'm moving 100% to the I Fund today. 1) I'm (somewhat) following the Ebbtracker, and 2) there may be a chance for a steal if there is significant profit-taking in the USMs this afternoon. It's a gamble I'm willing to take.

Partial capitulation on my part. Moving 75% G and 25% C.

My account balance is back to where it was on 4/16. :(
 
Who says you can't be young again?:laugh::laugh::laugh:

It's only money. I've lost more than this in one night playing no-limit holdem.

Given the choice, I'd rather have my youth back. I can always make more money. :)
 
WooHoo! I made some good money in the I Fund today! :) Now down only a handful of k's from the high I had on 7/20. I'm 100% G Fund for tomorrow.

I wish I had more discipline! Just like at the poker table, I'd make more money if I saw fewer flops with higher quality starting hands.

Between now and October, I need to be selective. My intent is to play the I Fund no-brainers and FV corrections. That's the plan. Let's see if I can stick with it. :cool:

I'm moving to 50% G & 50% I. This move is marginally within my plan (above.) If the USM sells off this afternoon there could be a -FV to offset the pending FVC. If not... I still like the I fund price I'm getting. And I've saved bunches of money being in the G Fund yesterday and today. I'm not sure it's the right move (hence only 50%) but I think the risk is tolerable and warranted in this scenario. :cool:

I agree. Also went 50 I 50 G. Wanted to keep some on sidelines, just in case. GL
 
Lot's of members moving money into the I Fund today while the Ebbtracker is moving out. Where is the love???

Questions running through my mind...

Can the OSMs have as good of a day tomorrow as today?
Is today a OSM bounce?
Will the USM rally big this afternoon and provide a +FV?

I'm going to stick with my plan to be careful. Taking a profit and will wait for another opportunity. Moving 100% G.

got to remember the Europe and the rest have been crushed from their highs so big time oversold IMHO. Whether they get back up to the tops again is the 64k question.

I realize that and I agree. I got in at a great price on Friday and if I was looking long-term right now I would have stayed put or even moved all in. However, I'm being very cautious, following a plan and taking my profits when I can get them.

Actually the $ being up today is part of the reason I moved into I thinking there is a strong chance it would drop tomorrow...
