Looks like I missed out on today's awesome F-Fund gains, better a day early than a day too late...

The good news is I don't really care what any one of us thinks about these market conditions. The bad news is I do care about making money. In my estimation there is enough technical damage to warrant a consideration of the 1875-1900 levels, conversely, a close above 1954 followed by a higher low above the previous 1916 should be enough to bring buyers back.

Now it's time to see if we can get the higher low...
 
Nice tug-of-war today, sellers jumped off the train, yet buyers stepped in to bring the levels back. All-in-all, despite the appearance of wild swings, prices equalized nicely. Truth be told, for me this was an average day with an above average 22 point swing. I'll be honest with you, I could care less about the news, I only care where buyers & sellers are willing to take prices, a news-driven event such as today only gives us an inclination as to the preferred direction.
 
I agree. I made two similar observations earlier yesterday on Bquat's account (#8213 and 8702). Ignore the noise and look at what direction the market wants to go.

With regard to your IFT to G Fund until the news driven event, AGG was flat-lining when the S&P was up 8 in early trading and ripe for a decline. A day early you might have been, but no one can predict a black swan.

So,....which direction does this market want to go?

I'm ready to pull back to F fund at this point.

Still sitting near a 0% gain for the year. Can not figure this one out at all.

Also, I did grab some EASA at $1.13 Wondering what JTH thoughts on this are presently. Jump up today to $1.17 Woohoo.

Yes, I own some ESEA, my USAA account is jacked, for some reason it won't show the loss/gain, for any of my positons, I'm going to have to dig through the logs to figure out my cost basis.

USAA YOU SUCK!!! :mad:
 
I have USAA for insurance, savings account, credit card etc. for 3 decades, but have never used them for investing. Is there an advantage over other discount brokerages, like Schwab? Thanks.

I started with USAA and switched to OptionsHouse after about a year. USAA's platform was so basic and worthless when I used them for investing, but maybe there have been improvements...? I love them for regular banking, but not for investing.
 
Sorry for venting, this whole USAA thing urks me. While it's obvious it does not have the best trading plaform, my preference is to perfrom all financial stuff with 1 web site.
 
concur again; I sat down with one of their financial advisors last December
and was told they would charge me 1.25 % to "handle" my nest egg.
I asked to see their current mutual fund outlay and performance to date.... didn't go there as u might expect.
