JTH's Account Talk

I was planning to take my winnings and bail next week. This news about 13 days straight puts me in quite an indecisive predicament. :worried:

Just to keep perspective the "news" is coming from birch and when was the last time birch went to the G fund?
 
Unlike Birch, I have no problem moving to "G". But if this rally can go that long, I'll have to think real hard what my next move will be.
 
Oh mighty chart man, does it look like a cup and handle forming in the S&P, which is bullish? Or am I just seeing things. Are we building strenght with this high base forming or will it weaken if bad news on Friday? Care to guess? Mine is if we don't break 1340 to 1345 today or tomorrow there will be a selloff Friday. I'm a tiny bit bearish but can be swayed.:notrust:

No guesses for me, I've already hit my PO. As I've mentioned in a previous blog, I believe it to be a complex H&S and we are forming the peak of the right shoulder. However, when it comes down to brass tacks we could call it a little bit of everything like a cup and handle, H&S, ascending scallop, an outside rounded V, any number of things. We also have a bit of a broadening decending wedge going on too.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
 
I saw today as a bullish day, although I'd still hate to jump in at these levels. Problem is, you can only hate to jump in at these levels for so long. Watching the days go by and the profits slip away will take its mental toll on you. Before you know it you're ready to jump in, you've finally thrown in the towel. That's about the time we run out of buyers and the top is in. :)

I got in for tomorrow after feeling a need to move to security after the June beating. It would have been nice to stay the course and not taken the loss but I did get some of my money back. Now that there is no need to keep my money safe (right, like that ever happens) it was a question to jump in at the top or hope it isn't the top. I decided to live in hope!
 
Well, RDJ67 and BigJohn went to safety and JTH is still in safety....so who am I to go against those minds? :D
 
Wow... This market has gone vertical
Yeah -- that's because I got out at the end of June. Sorry about that. At least I warned you. If it's any conselation, I won't be jumping in any time soon. That would be guaranteed disaster. :(

I bailed last Thursday too. I'd be right on JTH's coattails if I had waited until today. :D
 
Trust me, I don't like missing out on substancial gains, it's painful and burns me up something fierce. My only pleasure is knowing I have been invested less than half the time and made twice the gains. Nevertheless I still feel burned...
 
I think I detect a gap. However high this current upswing goes, I think it's pretty likely to come down at least to yesterday's open.
