Re: Signal

It sucks to see small caps can't hold their advantage. If I'm still invested and have my IFTs at the end of the month, I might split up my allocation.

Yeah, basically we have been trading flat when you add all of the ups and downs each day, since February.

Been thinking the same. I left IFTs on the table in Feb and, in hindsight, wished I had done just that.
 
Re: Signal

I would have to check the numbers but it seems like we have been going up 1% one day and then down .5% the next day or two for a couple of weeks now?
 
Re: Signal

Make that 2.03% and system is up 12.2% YTD.

I am now $4,000 away from digging myself out of the $100,000 hole I fell into, back in the summer, by following someone else's system.

Did you stop following the other person's system the rest of last year after that system tanked last summer? The reason I asked is, I followed that system down, and ended +8% on the year. Yes, it sure would have been nice to avoid the summer drubbing!
 
Re: Signal

Does anybody have a feeling of a coming correction, or is it just me being cautious? It makes me a little anxious that we are at all time highs and I'm not really sure why we are where we are.

I heard on the radio this morning that this is the highest the DOW or S&P (can't remember which) has been since 2007 and the highest the NASDAQ has been since 2000. I am hoping today is a good day because I would love to take my profits and sit for a while.

I might do the same, even though the system will remain on a buy.

I agree and may slowly make my way to the exit (5-15% at a time) but will largely stay in until there is a meaningful break in the trend. The gains have been impressive and the trend is still up...I'm ok taking the risk of losing a little in order to stay w/ the trend.

I was maybe thinking of a 50% exit.
