Hey, perhaps it is my fault. I was not going to take off the table but put some more on the table. I also wanted out of the I fund and put that into the S fund. Perhaps someone is watching out for me.
It will be nice if the market is down tomorrow. If it is not I will, yell. Ahhhhhhh. Glad to hear I was not the only person. I tried on the computer and the phone. I thought that comp was bad as there was some areas I could go on the web sight. The phone I thought that it was my cell phone or something.

Spaf,
It would appear that we have a new bear on the prowl.
I'm not sure if he is a "Goldilocks" bear or a Smokey Bear - but he is definitely a bear of some sort -and it is good to have him on board. He can join Yogi and Chicken Little shortly when they go on retreat.

Some puzzling things:
The S fund went up while the other stock funds dropped. That's unusual (when stocks drop, the S tends to drop the most). The 10 year bond yield fell to 3.99% - why on earth would anyone want to buy a 10 year bond at that rate? Lastly, the market chose to ignore the stronger than expected consumer confidence data and focus on the weaker than expected Chicago data.
Perhaps this is all to our benefit, since a day like this will help knock the short term indicators back out of the overbought territory.
The I fund is in trouble until the European situation stabilizes. For those of us on the buying side, at least it'll mean cheaper shares for awhile. Definitely not an area for people to be in during the short term, though. The Euro just fell through the floor today. :shock:

Here's a link to the top10 holdings or 7.74%of the S fund in order. Berkshire Hath. Hld A is 3.08% at the top holding and took the biggest hit today. Guess the other 92.26% did OK. Does seem odd.

Mike,
Looks like a program trade of some kind came in today after 1500 hours and sold some large cap stocks to unclude some oils. The Russell 2000 was spared any damage. Bond buyers will buy bonds because they see a 3% rate with a possible capital gain. What does the decline in bond yields really mean? It means there is very little inflation - the Fed has done its' job - now please pause so we all can make some money in the next leg up.
If the optimists are right, then the stock gains could continue for months or even years to come, although probably not at this same rapid pace - just give me 3000 more points up. Pull the trigger - light the afterburners - c'mon let's move this thing, I've been patient since 1/04. I want my $3.00 in the C fund. Take care.
