Metals and miners are having a tough time swimming upstream against the strength of the dollar. Looks like UUP is beginning another up-wave, which spells trouble for commodities. You're wise to get out before your little losses become big losses.

Oh say it ain't so, Francis! :sick:
 
Thanks, I was trying that without success. Figured out that you must have the inspect box unchecked.

thanks again

JANUARY: It's Report Card Time

Given the volatility, finishing out the month with -1.57% was no surprise, I calculated I should stay invested the majority of the month (which I did) and that calculation did not yield the desired results, but it did yield the desired outcome in the fact I am outperforming the C-Fund by 1.43% and the S-Fund by .28%

FEBRUARY: It's Report Card Time, 2.71% YTD, 4.37% MTD

Plan was executed precisely, but the markets exceeded expectations, therefore I lost the edge I had from January. I'm currently outperforming G/F/C and need to catch up to the S-Fund. Still, it was a great month, where even blindfolded dart-throwing monkeys made money. I'm down 2.29% from my 2.50% monthly goal, which means I need to make 4.79% in March to meet my 30% yearly goal.

MARCH: It's Report Card Time, 4.73% YTD, 1.96% MTD

That's twice this year I've chosen to stay invested towards the end of the month and twice I got burned. Thus far, I'm annoyed with my returns, and while I believe this market has been relatively easy to read, translating that into gains has been easier said than done. I may decide to get more aggressive, going back into scalper mode, which has worked well for me in the past. On the brighter side, the 3-day stint in the G-fund helped close my performance gap against the S-Fund and this month was a top 150 performance.

JTH, any reason why that support won't hold?

Interesting how the jobs number will be released on a non-market day. However the market would've reacted, it will be old news by Monday when the market trades again.

Lot's of double/triple/quad bottoms out there, I think the bears need to go sh!t in the woods. Everyone and there mother thinks these markets are going down and I'm not opposed to this point of view, but at some point it needs to be proven, sort of a sh!t or get off the pot scenario.

JTH,

I would love to see a bounce soon, and I need to see some lower level to deploy additional funds in small caps. However, there are headwinds, crosswinds, important global negotiations going on; and at home tomorrow, we will see the positive or negative impact of the employment numbers. There is much uncertainty, something the markets do not like. Are we worrying too much? I don't know if this is crucial information, but yesterday we saw the ADP Employment Report delivering less than expected number of jobs. If lower employment numbers come out tomorrow, this might indicate that the FED could delay raising rates ... is this more likely than not?

Too many lies out there, I don't trust any of the numbers coming out of the government, or the news agencies that peddle their propaganda. I trust what I can verify for myself and not much else, that means when I'm wrong, it's 100% my fault :)

It's all good, we'll see how it works out, thus far I haven't been impressed with the past 2 day's price action.

Hero or zero (can't be both)
