Kave's Account Talk

[kave]

After a hard pull back in the market through the first few weeksof October, the market's recent gains have been very respectable and profitable for me. With the markets at a high threshold, I will take some profits and sit on the sidelines for awhile. IFT executed and effective at COB today, G Fund 75% & F Fund 25%.

IFT executed G- 40% F - 60%

Last Christmas my DW asked me to build a stable replica for her Nativity figurines. I built it out of some barn wood I reclaimed. We finally got it setup. Here's a cell phone pic.

PURRfect!

My TSP allocation is currently at 60% F & 40% G Funds. Currently, the Dow, S&P and NASDAQ down ~1+/- % and the 12:00 cutoff looming, I think I'll stay at my current allocation.

I'm your quintessential market dip buyer. And I anticipated a pull back of some degree pre-Santa. But there appears to be a little more pull back coming.

I've got 1 IFT for 2014 I can execute other than a G fund increase. So I'm gonna wait another day.

No move for me today. Staying at F-60% & G-40%. I will look for re-entry at SPX ~2000 and W4500 ~1000. My decision is based on information provided in JTH Account Talk. Thank you Jason!!!

Anybody thinking of jumping into the proverbial "pool" today?

Not me. I'm looking for confirmation of a bottom. I have caught the falling knife too many time only to commit hara-kiri with it.

Difficult to do, when you want to start off the new year in the right fund...

 

[nnuut]

Not me, calling a bottom or top is a losing proposition waiting for it to turn around. It usually jumps up big time and I will probably miss that gain but one day isn't a turnaround.

Wanting to jump in but the water still looks too cold!

I'll prefer to leave a little on the table and wait for confirmation before I jump in.

I stayed in the lounge chair myself. Didn't want to lose my speedo:embarrest:!!! I still believe we'll see a Santa rally to some degree. It may take crude bottoming out before we see recovery!

 

[pmaloney]

Interesting time. If it comes the Santa Rally won't come till the 26th but the FED could cause a good news rally this week! Of course there might be major tax related selling next so I am just hanging around the pool ready to jump in at the right time. Nice to have a swim up bar

I'm with clester and like the today's reversal. S - 50% C - 50% IFT executed COB today.

 

[pmaloney]

I waited and then finally too the plunge into the pool. G - 50% C - 25% and S 25%. Good luck with the bold 50 / 50 move.

Nice timing on that move. How long do you plan on keeping that position?
