A good many of the Tea Partyers sound like they haven't heard that we're barely hanging onto a recovery, and that deep spending cuts now may trigger a double dip recession. Wait til interest rates are forced to climb, then we'll be having fun. :suspicious:

Yup, because federal government spending is the only way to get us out of a recession... riiiiiiiight...

Looks like there will be a gap up today due to the talk concerning the pending debt ceiling deal. Anybody in the G or F fund going to go into the S fund? My concern is - I will be chasing the news and may get a leveling out or drop tomorrow if I IFT before noon today. I am inclined to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday. I am just interested in other's opinions.

You are correct when you say you would be "chasng the Market" .... For myself, I was glad I stayed in G Fund last week waiting out this situation. I'm goiing to sit tight for now and wait for this whole deal to play out and go in on the next pull back...

Nobody said it was the only way, but with the private sector refusing to create jobs despite the Bush tax cuts and Fed. stimulus, premature spending cuts is probably not helpful at this stage of the recovery. The Great Depression illustrates this.

Although, if it were to drop 1-2% today (not likely), I may have to jump in.
 
I'LL Say it did ! Although the (S)Fund is currently at the unchanged level, Stay tune folks, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel ! :confused:
 
Now that I've reloaded IFTs, I'm not prepared to accept the same risk as last month. We are at buy levels here, but if this trade goes too far south, I'll be forced to bail, I will not (to the best of my ability) let meself get 08'ed...

Looks like the Riddler, Joker, Penguin and maybe even King Tut are playing with the market again today. :)

I'm going 100% into the S Fund today until Tuesday or Wednesday! I don't want that Thursday headline to read: Jobless numbers revised up, 400k weekly streak not actually broken! Then another possible dismal jobs report of Friday! I'm hoping Wednesday is another ADP Jobs Report fake-out like last month! I just bought TZA at the open this morning and then sold right after the weak ISM for a 6.135% gain. Last month including my TSP I was only +0.5% due to about a 2% TZA loss on Friday.
 
Went from 20%S 30%I 50%F to 100%S today before cut off. I think it is time to buy. I will take loss down to $655 or so but would much rather take huge gains. If it goes that low i'm tucking my tail and licking my wounds. But i'm a little over 2% YTD after being over 4% twice this year...once last month...So what do I know?

My system the Quadracycle produced another buy last Friday, but since I'm already invested I'll just stay put.

Another system The Big Picture gave a buy today, that's two systems providing confirmation for each other. These systems have a fairly good track record in a bull market. They aren't tested in a bear market, the transports have pulled back 9.62% just shy of correction territory so take that for what it is. Lucky, I think most of you here managed to avoid the last scalping I've taken. This forum has gotten much smarter than I remember it being a few years ago....

A testament to the strength of your insights and all the great teachers who have shown members that seeing patterns in the markets is not rocket science. Thanks for helping us all take control of our retirement.
 
I can't even day trade ETF's in my Roth. Dow up 140 at the open, I turn around a few minutes later and it is down -40. Is it going down further or going back up? It's like a roller coaster.

TSP 100% G (7% YTD) :mad:
 
I'm responding to your post because I feel the same way. The market's are definitely testing our nerves. 300 point swing day yesterday = Absolute Craziness

You would think we get a fairly nice rally once this debt ceiling fiasco passes both the House and Senate but now I'm worried we might get a Big Sell off.

Hell I cannot read into this kind of Craziness. It's Pot Luck

Good Luck Everyone! You woulda thought the Dollar Index would have been weaker today with the strength it had yesterday but it's continuing an accent higher. Well Heck it was Higher, .45 cent swing in that index. You look away for 10 minutes and everything changes.:blink::nuts::worried:
