JTH's Account Talk

Man... Just like Whipsaw said, anyone jumping into this market has some big gonads.

Best wishes to you and everyone!!!!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Me, IFT EoB Today from 100G to 100C

JTH, I was wondering if anyone had trouble logging in to there TSP account. When I tried to log in it took along time for it to open up and kept giving me an error logging in. After the third time I was locked out and didn't have time to get my password reset and therefore no trade was made. Later in the afternoon I noticed the S&P made a new low. So do you think we will test the low before we move higher? Thanks in advance.
 
Here is a man after my own Heart.

Consider an Upper target of S&P 2045 -- What's the percentage of gains from where the market close is today?

Hi Fab

I'm not examining price levels, looking for an upper target, or calling a bottom here. My goal was simple, "out perform the C-Fund" and I've achieved this goal in the short-term. At one point, I was trailing the C-Fund by almost 4%, so I consider it a small (but important) victory. For now, I'm looking to exit on a 2-3% bounce.

Ah I C...I like to Think BIG. ;)

No, you have a realstic goal and I was outperforming C myself (and I dont want to fall behind that either)
so I will probably give it 2-3 trading days and get out while the getting is good, if we get there and I am
talking about EMA 20 or little higher if we dont get a glass ceiling effect there.

Looks like Futures are Bright this morn!!

I had jumped in a week or so ago, thought it had 2-3 days legs... got out with the skin on my teeth on day 3. Though, had I seen JTH's move yesterday, I'd likely be in right now, for a day, maybe.

No issues with TSP.Gov other than the fact it sucks becaause they make it very difficult to login. As an example they leave the TSP Account number as the default user name, WTF?

Anyways, this is a bear market, I'm more inclined to think today will be a light volume day pre-holiday. After the holiday, I think we should rally.

Did I buy the lows for February?

Hey Whipsaw, that was still a win for us. We just stayed in a day to long. Burro on the other hand rode that monster and was lucky to be saved by the rodeo clown. Either way, we all jumped in, grabbed some booty and are now safely back on the ark...Life is good!

You did better than my premature move. I hoped at the time of my IFT we would see the double bottom but we got a reversal day and a couple of roller coaster did nothing days.

Im not grumping. As of about right now the S&P is just about where I entered so if we get the holiday boost like you said my losses are erased and bonus yet to come.

But lets all have a nice l o n g weekend as Tuesday is when we will see how this plays out.

Point well taken, the stats show the poor performance starts next week, but my stats have been so out-of-whack that believe there is a case for a "flip the script" scenario
 
Ah, I love the smell of victory, even if it's just for a day.

Good night, and have a great holiday weekend!

For myself, I’m currently up .59% MTD, down -8.16% YTD, and recently moved into the C-Fund.
This marks the first time this year I'm ahead of the CSI funds, it's a small victory but I'll take it. With no IFTs left, and 10 more trading days to endure, I'll have my finger resting on the exit button, looking to avoid as much damage as possible because I believe this market has high potential to go lower to the 1750 level. This would be another -6% drop from current prices, which would also trigger an official Bear Market for the S&P 500. Either ways, there's still money to be made and I plan to eek out every last cent of it...

First overhead resistance is pretty close. would be nice if S&P cuts straight through and acts as resistance before close.

We may need a cut-the-apron-strings from Mr. Earl to go much higher though. That or he leads the way up getting back over $30bbl

Personally, I like cheap gas AND nice gain stock gains. lol.
 
JTH-ALPAFS, IFT from 100G to 100C EoB Today

1) SPX/W4500/NDX have flipped back over to a buy.
2) SPX/W4500 have a lower low & higher high, so the downtrend is broken, but the uptrend is not established.
