Looks like markets are down today so keep your CRAP and DOOM. Don't be looking to get a rise out of CouGAR's trading system.

Could you explain your cougar trading system in more detail? The acronym seems partially incomplete, and it rarely seems to initiate an action? what is the trading record of wins/losses? what types of indicators does your cougsys track?

Duly noted. I'm mostly buy and hold.

Not "catch one" as in catch a cougar but rather "catch on" as in catch on to my system.
Gosh, do I have to spell everything out? :nuts: I guess boys will be boys.

Come on ...... give us boys a break, we are a tad slow at times

 

[burrocrat]

the good thing about cougars is they are easy to catch, they tend to slow with age.

Good luck catching this cougar.

 

[burrocrat]

the hard part about catching cougars isn't holding on to them, it's letting them go.

I don't know much about charts and market timing and such but in my recent research and quest for understanding, I've noticed that the day after a signal produces a better entry price. Waiting until the end of day to see if the buy signal holds and hopefully a better deal tomorrow. I may be leaving a little money on the table but I'm trying to be patient. :blink:

I'd like to get a mix of 40% Large Cap and 60% mid/small cap. C and S both have mid-cap stocks. If I allocate 40C/60S, I will have more mid-cap than I care to.
Anyone know what's the best allocation of C and S that brings me the closest to 40% Large-cap and 60% mid-small cap%

Thanks....

All I know is 20C and 80I - and I'm not moving. 2015 is going to be different than 2014 - that's for sure.

LOL Ok, I know you're biased. 20C/60S/20I for now...May reallocate later.

 

[jpcavin]

I bought in at the highest price jump EVER. You too, DBA, Firegal, MRJ, ATCJeff and the rest! :nuts: Drinks are on KK...she was already in and has more money to spare. :laugh:
From now on, I will NEVER EVER wait for confirmation and crossings, etc....I will jump in when it's "close enough" provided my buy in price is less than my previous sell price. If I have to ride it down, so be it!

 

[kb9nvh]

It could be worse...you could be buying in tomorrow when it ends 40 higher (like me).

 

[jpcavin]

I would be content with our 2 IFT limit if they would just give us until the markets closed.

 

[pmaloney]

A COB window would be nice but I would definitely prefer a 3 IFT limit. It would provide a lot more flexibility for us in times of flux without adding much extra cost to the TSP.
