Great article. Wish I had some money to throw into BAC. First I hear of MACD. Read up a little about the indicator in wikipedia. Now if only there was a site where I could input the ticker symbol and date range and it would spit out an MACD chart.. Know of any such site?

If so and drives people to buy F fund Im all for it.

Yes, I see myself ascending now :nuts:

Sorry about the goof - I was thinking one thing and typing something else. I'll be buying more BAC probably next week as well as several other banks.

I think I may make this my first purchase in Sharebuilder.

At this rate, I should reach 500 posts in no time!

Well, my plans for this weekend is to pick up a copy of The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham and study the Birch 300 Fund. Just looking for a pattern to the madness.

When I decide on a particular sector to invest into I like to concentrate in that sector with a number of different purchases. When I decided on the financial sector in 2008 I bought a concentration of 45 stinky stocks - they're mostly smelling a lot better today. All it takes is to spread around a little of that sweet smelling superlative bull manure.

Yep, I'm going to play around with some of my disposable income. Not this weekend though. Gotta absorb some knowledge first.

I am fine also and have a good day.

Signs exist that the downdraft will decelerate, but continue, for several days before a new leg of the rally can commence.

In that case I'll just wait it out. Waiting for a hint from Bernanke about a possible QE3.

Since nobody can give me advice, can I get some opinions? :laugh:

Current status: 100% S as of today. Still have 1 IFT left this month.

My next money allocation (from payroll to TSP) will take place on the 17th. Should I allocate it to the S fund or the I fund? What should I be looking at/for to make that decision?

The lows of the I fund are really tempting. How low does it need to go in order for it to present a good buy opportunity?

All oponions welcome!

 

[Birchtree]

You can actually buy more shares of the C fund because the price is lower than the other funds. Accumulating shares via DCA is the way to go - set it and forget it.

 

[jpcavin]

Thanks Birch. I'll keep that in mind this Thursday am.

Good night and tuck the kids in. I'm a grandpa type.

In my humble opinion - Volitility will dominate over the short term and the Markets will likely fall lower.

The S Fund is often the faster 'gainer' which is why I use it first when I do go in - but it's also the faster 'loser' when things get bad.

We are not in a BULL Market at the present time and undergoing a brief correction - with another 3 to 6 months of gains similar to past 6 months. We are still in a 'Recovery stage' of a Global Economic Disaster.

With Wisconsin defining the methods by which State Budgets can be most soundly addressed; The Japan Disaster; Lybia and the rising cost of gas; and the general sense of fear from all these things (and others) I would more lean towards Safety.

I sincerely hope you the very best !!
