JTH's Account Talk

IFT EoB today, 100S

Sounds like capitulation :cheesy:. If I hadn't been called into a meeting, I was also going to take my small gain in F fund and move to stocks. I'll see what tomorrow brings, but I do want to be in stocks for March.

Fed not hurting stock bulls. The fear of missing out on things moving much higher will overwhelm folks.

Very interesting Jason... 120+ unanswered S&P points on this run up. I was of the mindset that we would be due for a pause soon.

I wouldn't take this entry in a regular trading account.

JTH, why not?

JTH, why not?

A regular trading account has the flexibility to pick the price you want, without being concerned over end of month IFT limitations.

Exactly. That's why I positioned myself into the I Fund going into March. We could see a pullback, in which case the best move would be to safety, allowing your 2nd IFT back into stocks later in the month, while still holding the safety trump card in your pocket. It's a bit of a chess game.

Good luck to you Jason.

OK...so JTH and MJR are both all in....does that mean the rest of us (sans BT of course) should get out?:nuts:

 

[pmaloney]

Sounds like a good plan similar to what I was thinking. We might see a pull back in March even though most things seem to be ok but I want to have an avenue to flee to safety and still get back in later in the month.

PnF: Bonds Breakout

 

[Birchtree]

Personally I suspect it's a huge head fake. What happens if Mario decides to buy some equities instead of just bonds?

I'm done with my I fund for now. I just put mine into S as well. Fingers crossed.

Little fun fact

After being down in the F-Fund position as much as -.65% I exited Wednesday with a .17% profit. Today's AGG -.38% loss makes that decision to exit so much more palatable. Truth is it still wasn't worth the 8-day F-Fund entry vs. holding in the S-Fund, but at least I turned sh!t into a sh!t sandwich...

I find using Ba-Tampte mustard makes those sandwiches a bit more palatable. :cheesy:

Better than a lemonade sandwich.:nuts:

Nice work.

Funny thing about political forums, you don't change anyone's mind, most folks who hang out here are old, crusty, and set in their ways.

Here's an idea, let's talk about the markets...

$VIX has been low, I may need to find that ETF and think about taking an entry...

Ok, I can accept the fact that I am old and set in my ways, but crusty? A little soap and water will take care of that!!! :nuts:

 

[Bquat]

Ok, Wednesday maybe?:notrust:

ost folks who hang out here are old, crusty, and set in their ways.

TOO FUNNY...over my 20+ years of gubmnt service I have gone from overly eager to a hard worker to experienced guy to disgruntled fed who still knows the answers to about anything...and, as of 2 weeks ago, was laughingly described as the "crusty old f#$k" of the office...now you verify it.

Thanks man! After the week I've had I needed that laugh!
