Malyla's Account Talk

Well, I decided to risk 60% in the S fund. Left 40% in the G fund. This market makes me cautious. Wild swings. May get back into buy and hold if the stress becomes too much

Moved into the I fund for awhile. I hope the waters remain warm

This market is really making me nervous. Going with my original plan and heading for safety, but I'm going to take Ebb's recommendation and sit in the Frog pond over the weekend. Just hope my greed doesn't cost me today:worried:

Heading to Borders tonight to pick up my HP book at midnight. I probably will not come up for air until I finish the book.

Have a no spoiler weekend:cheesy:

Changed my mind. With the large drop in the USM, I'm going to invest some for Monday. Will put 30% in G just in case.

30% G, 35% C, 35% S for monday.

[malyla]

Well, I hope that the USM was a good call for today. I have 70% there and as of cob tonight, I'm going to try the warm waters of the I fund for awhile.

I read an article somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where) that we should worry if the dollar index drops below 80. There wasn't much on what would happen if that index dropped below 80, so I didn't understand what the warning was all about.

So until I get an indication otherwise I'm going with the fund with the highest historic gains.

The Deathly Hollows was worth the hype and well worth the wait. A very nice read this weekend. Enjoy all.

My new mantra: I will not be greedy - I will follow my plan!!!

This was a -7% lesson. I'm on the lilypad until after the whipsaw is over

Oh, if only .....

Moved some off the lilypad into the frog pond. My original plan called for going back into stocks after August 10 (august 27 for the very conservative). Lets see what the market brings. I have 8% to somehow make up. At least I'm not negative for the year:worried:

Moved completely onto the lilypad. Two times out of the last three (how long I have been paying attention), the F fund was down on the day of a Fed talk.

I do not think the bottom is here yet. After all I have read (both bears and bulls), I think the S&P will get to ~1420 before we see an uptrend. I hope I'm wrong

Moving in slowly as I think we still will have more downside. Keeping 20% in F, the rest is spread among C,S,I.

GL everyone.

I'm on the lilypad and drinking in the Monkey bar.

My back-of-the-bar-napkin estimates show that retracement should occur at s&p ~1497 and dwcp ~667. I may miss on some gains, but I really wanted to drink

See some of you at the bar.

Well, what a day yesterday. The margaritas at the Monkey Bar helped to cushion the wild swings. I expect a bit of retracement today and then a continuation of the Bull run.

Back in stocks cob today. 100% I for Friday.

[malyla]

Wow. I go away for a little while and wierdness happens. This is one crazy market. I'm kicking myself for not following my plan. Oh, well. It's only money and I have a little time before retirement to recoup. I'm still all in I, but I'm getting tired of swimming against the current (although Friday and today made for better swimming). I think we have more downside to come, but I'll wait until Wednesday before I go to rest on the lily pad.

Good luck everyone.

I'm moving into the S fund today. Going to sit on the lilly pad tomorrow cob.

 

[malyla]

Decided to go to the frog pond for awhile. The market seems ready to test the lows soon. However, I could be surprised and miss some gains, but I'll sleep better.

 

[malyla]

Now!! going to the frog pond after getting the G penny. I think this week is going to be a rough one for stocks.

G.L. everyone

 

[malyla]

Going to follow the sentiment survey and trader fred for awhile. Can keep up with the rapid changes in the account to follow ebb, so I'll try a weekly pattern. 100% S for next week.

 

[malyla]

I am back.

I moved into C,S,I from S today.

30% C, 30% S, 40% I.

I will not be posting all my moves after this as I have a lot going on and can't always find the time, but I will drop in when I can to talk about Tequila and other interesting subjects.

Anyone drink Bourbon? I just found out that it is 51% corn and that the spent barrels are sent to Scotland and Ireland for use in their production of whiskeys which surprisingly have no corn in them. hmmm. I will try a Manhattan tonight

I don't know what they do with the barrels but if you like bourbon try Elmer T. Lee single barrel harvested at perfection. Just a little ice nice sippen.

Hi. I think I'll reopen my account talk. Life has been very busy lately but the market has gotten me back into watching my tsp.

I'm currently in both G & F and will remain there until the uptrend begins again. At that time I will use the power of a healthy tsp account to reap the bull run into 2015 (just an optimistic guess ).

Just saw Hancock - Wow was that a good movie. I was more jazzed coming out of the theater than going in (this is after having a good meal with drinks). Highly recommend it and please - No spoilers here.

Next movie will be Wall-E. Summer movietime seems to be worthy this year.

I'm testing a new method that seems very promising. Combination of short term buy and hold and market cycles. I let you know my conclusion soon.
Have Fun and Good Luck.
