JTH's Account Talk

Ok, I'm not trying to have a political discussion within this thread. I already know where I stand and don't need a political show to support my conservative views, therfore I filter out most political shows. Watch it and judge for yourself, but let's please not paint the entire channel with the same broad brush.
 
I've actually been criticized for listening to Larry Kudlow - he's a straight shooter in my opinion.
 
Glad you aren't going to get dragged into some political discussion here.

Just doesn't seem like a good idea nor the right place.

Nothing political, just the TRUTH!
 
Good morning everyone I hope you had a great weekend as I did. I mounted an antenna last night and managed to get about 15 usuable stations here in the San Antonio area. Next I'll be setting up two DVRs in the house and after that the cable gets cut and the extra 100 goes into my our investment accounts. My wife in NOT happy about losing cable, she's made a point of showing it, but sometimes you have to make the tough choice now so you can reap the benefits later on down the road. For me it wasn't a tough choice, for her and the kids it's like I clubbed a baby seal.

When are you cutting off the internet? ;)

I can't do that, I'd run into stiff resistance, even I can't afford to lost the internet, there's too much market research I need it for. I did install a clothes line outside to cut down on dryer usage.

Ouch :nuts:

So, we hear about your family's pain, where is your's in all this cost cutting? ;)

My family doesn't have any idea what real pain is. By my standards they are spoiled by theirs they are living in poverty. There is so much more I'd like to cut back on, I have plans to implement further cutbacks, but need to do it one at a time so as to not create too much shock all at once.
 
An outhouse would cut down on your water usage... :laugh:

All kidding aside, are you jumping in today?

Do I want to jump in, yes I do, but should I jump in, no I shouldn't. Based on my weekend research I'll not be making an entry today. It sucks I'd really like to, but it's just not a good entry here IMHO.

Thanks for all your great research and charts JTH... And your informal buy/hold/sell recommendations. With no cable, you won't be tempted to watch CNBC TV, less media noise to confuse you..

I am almost afraid to ask what your weekend research showed...it must be pretty bad if you are holding off on a day that looks REALLY bad to start, and sure looks like a heck of an entry point.

Agree it looks like a great entry point. However, it also looks like a landslide. Scarry stuff, if you ask me.
 
Nothing that fancy, My last sell signals were valid and now I'm waiting for the next set up buy signals to generate. So right now I see us as "between" signals. We've also retraced more than the bulls would like so I'm putting todays action as in the bear camp. I could be right, or could be wrong, but I do know my defense has always been better than my offense.

Also, I work based off of End-of-Day prices not intraday prices. Every night I look at the charts and base my decisions on that analysis. I had already made the decision not to enter the markets last night. Learning not to make impulsive IFTs has has been the right choic more often than not.
 
JTH, I really admire how you're cutting back on luxuries. I've been wanting to do the same but with 4 kids I dont think I'd be able to cut off cable. I did cut off the HiDef portion which was $10 a month, cancelled my gym membership (I can go on base for free), got rid of the landline since we have our cells, closed our storage unit and moved it all into the garage. Still looking for more ways to try to save some money.
