Alright, lets get this party started!!! I am hoping for a third day rally to get us closer to the resistance of 1175ish on S&P. Tomorrow may be a day for me to take the money and run from C to F fund. Being a rookie and all, I hope I am not to impatient and pull the trigger to soon. Time will tell. It sure would be nice if the deadline for an IFT was a little later, especially with all the volatilty.

Took it right to the deadline before pulling the trigger and switching to the F fund. Now its sit and wait and look for my entry point back into the C fund. I am looking for somewhere below 1100 on the S&P.
I am always open to advise, so feel free and share your thoughts.

Think I could puke now. Lol. I apparently pulled the trigger at the wrong time. I switched from C to F last Thursday, so today stung pretty good. It's not the best feeling when trying to gain some confidence. I am having a tough time deciding where to go from here. Hoping for a decline so I can recoupe some of my losses tomorrow.

Congrats to those of you that were on the launch pad today. Wish I could have been there as well!!!
 
Men who can be both right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a speculator has firmly grasped this that he can make big money.
 
Thats a really good point. After a gain like today, I don't know if its possible for me to sit tight. I feel like the market is taking off, and I don't want to be left behind if it does. Dang emotions, lol. If I only had tomorrows newspaper today.
 
I was hoping for a decline or re-balance today from yesterdays big rally and was feeling like we might be heading up more soon. I accepted my losses for fear there may be more losses in the near future if I didn't act quickly, so 100% back to C Fund I went. Today the market didn't take the hit I hoped for though. Should have waited a few more days like others have mentioned. Time will tell. Probably going to sit tight the rest of the year and hope for an end of the year rally. Overall I am still ahead, even after this loss, since I started moving my money around instead of being a buy and holder.

More than likely we will see a sell off (profit taking) tomorrow.
 
Ugh, Bounce already!!! I never got out for fear of missing an end of the year rally, so all of octobers gains have been lost since I got back in about mid october. I am hoping for a good day tomorrow and friday so maybe that can be an exit. If only my foresight was as good as my hindsight!!!
 
I went 100% to G fund on mostly gut instinct. I am thinking maybe sell off friday, & maybe today is the calm before the storm? I am hoping for a little upward movement today, but that isn't looking likely.


What do I need to do to start being on the Auto Tracker? I would like to start off the new year being on the Auto Tracker.
 
Wish I would not have gotten out on Dec 1. Wasted an IFT for the month. To nervous that I will miss the end of year rally, so..... back to C fund 100% at COB.:worried: :confused:
 
Is that Sleigh Bells I hear???

I got a long ways to go to get me back to my last buy in on Dec 6th. Road this coaster downhill aways. It is time for it to come up. Come on Santa!!!
 
Took 50% out and put into G fund. Lock in some gains. Hopefully next week will be a winner as well.

Just wanted to give a BIG THANKS to everyone on here, and Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) to you and your family. Enjoy the weekend doing whatever it is you do. Although I don't post to often, I read everybody's posts (some of which is over my head) and appreciate the great amount of knowledge here.

God Bless

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 12/31/2011 is 11.78%. (Your PIP is posted by the 3rd business day of each month.)

I just recently signed up on the autotracker, but I used the TSP Returns Calculator from this website and show a return of 10.87%

Here's to 2012. It looks to be?........Well????.....Interesting.
 
Here I sit 50% G, 50% F and have been patiently waiting for a pullback so I could jump into stocks and from the looks of this morning, it looked like we were going to get that, and then BAM, turnaround. My patience has been worn thin watching the market continue upwards, and to worried I will make an emotional decision that will be a costly one. How much further are we going to go up? Do I just jump in anyways? Ugh!!! Tough decisions.

Sorry, just had to vent. Congrats to all of you that have made a great return to start off the year. Patience and second guessing has to be one of the hardest things for me with trying to time the market.
