Hoping I can ask a question about one of your investments/trades - UVXY. Is there any risk to just buy this and hold it until there's a correction?

Thanks!

I think RMI can help you better on that one

Im thinking about tossing 25% into the s fund

If the market continues to climb i get payback.
if the market corrects 10%, i only lose 2.5% and get an entry point for my other 75%

i feel like this is a win win solution right now

That's the approach I took late last week.

Every day is a worse day to jump in, even partially.

I can't take the pain in TZA anymore, I'm going to have to let it go very soon

If jobless claims come in lower tomorrow - then this market is going to smoke them ever higher.

I'm still holding my TZA position but finally gave in Mon. and went 20C, 20S, 10I, 50G. I don't know when the party will end, but I only have 3yrs until retirement.

I am so tired of this rally I'm having a hard time finding the motivation to post.

I desire to motivate you.

Hey, that was a great call. Put some more in so the S&P drops to 1640...then I'll get back in!!! And thanks.

Sorry folks, not much to report. While today did show large intraday swings across the major indexes, key trendlines held as support. If this were a normal rally I'd be tempted to call the top, but nothing about this rally has been normal, so I'll take the "wait and see" approach.

Ouch, I've been getting beat down in the F-Fund, losing nearly 2% this month. At this point I'll take a loss for the month, but worse things have happened, so it's no big deal. Interesting candlestick pattern today, are the markets ready to roll over?

I also made the wrong move into the F fund a few weeks ago. I think this will be my last time - no more F or I fund for me.

12 April 2013, bought OSH @ 2.38 HIGH RISK TRADE

Finally, man I went under big on this trade, but stuck it out and it paid off very well. I bought on the big red candlestick when it was down 30% but it went down another 20% before it bottomed.

3 June 2013, Sold OSH @ 3.57 46% return

JTH, where do you see the market going from here? Do you still believe we have a correction ahead? I am still holding my TZA shares. I'm still down a little bit, but I was tempted to sell this morning on the nice pop it had...
