mlk_man's account talk

I like the fact that the C and S are moving up this morning while the F is moving down. This is how things should be and sure makes it easier to play. If I get a signal to buy stocks and a signal to sell bonds, that's a double confirmation. When I get signals to sell or buy both, that's an oxy-moron to me and sometimes hard to play. I currently have signals to sell my S and buy the F fund today. THese are VERY short term signals. My intermediate signals, which are short term to most, say hold stocks and stay out of bonds for now.

Good luck,

Now MM! You know I'm not like that! My greatest worry is that stocks all go down in the red after I sell. That's the problem with our early deadline. Any gain of one penny is more than I had.

At least you only lost 1 cent on 100%S; damn 25% C cost me last night. Honestly we really need to write letters everyday to TSP and the Gov. to change the hours until the market closes. We don't have a level playing field. Surely the cost of a few GS6s or whatever, who work evenings for TSP, earning shift differentialwould be paid for 1000 fold when we participants make more money! I write to TSP about every 2 weeks asking for consideration of such. Today's plan......sit, wait, watch and stay put in G.Will play again soon!

Going back to 100% S this morning. Got another short term signal so will try to catch a bounce Monday. If the S fund ends down about 1%, it'll put it right at my next support level. Certainly not a move for the timid. If your conservative, I'd wait for a bonafide reversal. You might miss a big up day though. Probablly all depends on Katrina at this point.

Perhaps we should start a hurricane alert thread..................:i

Smine, aren't you glad you're not in today? :^

Mlk-man,

I'm starting to get excited when I see participants placing IFTs for 100 % positions - that's remarkable courage. They must recognize that we are close to a bottom. Smine just went 100 % S fund - Cowboy just went 100% C fund, and then came you. Usually everyone is running for the shelter - this is great. Patience is certainly virtuous and will lead to victory over the bears.

I say youALL are real brave, we just broke a significant resistance point in the S fund (I'm not sure about the C fund) which was the 50 day moving average. In fact, we are 10 points below it. I'm watching here from the sidelines to see what happens and I wish you all good fortune, seriously. I hope I'm wrong, but this market may be on the verge of a tank. Just my opinion.
