JTH's Account Talk

JTH interesting looking avatar. Red to green back to red, now multicolor. It's not my avatar but I'm partial to the red one because it always reminds me of the great movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey".

It's something I'm toying with, once I get bored with it, I'll switch back to the regular HAL.

The HAL represents what I think the markets will do for that day
The Outer circle represents the historical probability of closing positive on that day
The Inner circle represents the historical average gains of that day

Added - I'm using rotational current and historical statical data, so it's an evolving process

Nearly 5 days of gains wiped out in 1 day, such it is where we have tiny slices up with big chunks down. It would have been nice to side-step today's action but it's a bit too early in the month to leave myself susceptible to an IFT shortage, so invested I am. Realistically I'd expect another 1-2% loss before buyers either step in or step off.

The S fund doesn't have a great record for being profitable in July. It's either really good or really bad. Since 2000 there have been 9 negative years and only 5 positive. I'm hoping for good. :worried:

Correct my friend, W4500 is seasonally weaker than SPX, I mentioned this in my July's Projection post. It may have something to do with a sell in May rotation or perhaps folks want to steer clear of the earning reports for the small caps.
 
The futures have been fairly consistent this week, if it holds true for tomorrow, then we should expect a close down.
 
From my perspective, I'll be looking for a break even day tomorrow, this is a good place to settle in. No I am not worried, sometimes I'll get caught in these downwaves, there isn't much I can do except ride it out or choose to absorb the loss. Under current conditions I'd rather ride it out.

JTH,

I, and many others, think you are fine. I am sure we know a bit about the laws of probabilities. It is normal to get caught in a downwave. We would otherwise have yearly gains of 100% plus. A good friend reminded me that we are now in the worst four months of the year. Your work is excellent. Good stuff!

BTW, let me change the subject to ask a question. Perhaps you, or other member can help out. Below, please find a recent offer regarding the YAHOO real-time ticker and charts. I already have had the real-time benefit for about 8 or 10 years. In fact, I also have a password for using YAHOO use (I am sure others do too); but when I refresh a chart, it keeps popping up the notice, something that is a needless distraction and I would like to be rid of it. I don't know whom to contact or how to stop its reappearance each time that I refresh the chart. What to do? Please see below. Thank you.
