Mojo - Thanks for the link

Mojo,

Thanks for the link to the 'IFT of the Day' you provided in SteadyGain's blog thingy...

I was looking for something like that. Had an itch today to make a move toward the stock market. Our idiotic NMCI network didn't let me into the main page - and, thus the link to the 'Automated Tracker'. I was going to look at the 'Members Standing and Allocation' to see if anyone made moves.

Glad I didn't get there because apparently that list is not live. Your link shows transactions in real time.

Regardless, both you and I probably think my failure to pull the trigger is for the best:cheesy: I always seem to make my moves too early. In this case, I think the smart move is to blow a few days of growth to ensure any momentum is valid.

Otherwise, just watch the carnage...

I'm still glad to be watching from the sidelines but man it sure would be nice to see those that jumped in make a quick 5% and scurry back out with the loot.

Always wish for the best for everybody... It would be good for some of us to get a boomlet and head back to the Lilly Pad Vacation Resort for a while... Those wonderful prizes offered by TSPTalk don't make me greedy enough to vote anybody off the island - yuk, yuk :p

Anyway, a market that dumps my TSP by 0.56% when I only currently hold 12% or 13% in equities ain't the place for me. I can't justify a one day gamble - even though I tried!!!

NMCI is the bain of my existence also and why I can't check my trading account at work!!:mad:

Nice day for the brave. Well done to those that were in today. I think I'll try and wait for some capitulation. :)
 
Brave Sir Robin Makes His Move...

Yuk, yuk...

I initiated my first transfer into C/S (not I - eeee gads, seen PM Brown lately) of a brave 10%. Because of my gooberishness it will not take hold till tomorrow night. Oh well...

Planning on moving 10% into C/S/I every two weeks or so. Also, planning on using my meager 2 IFTs for forward trades into C/S/I. Always have the Bailout G Trade to the Lilly Pond if things degenerate to Great Depression II.

Anyway, I think 'Dirty Barry' is more ignorant than malicious. It will be harder for him to push ignorant policies when everybody’s watching him. He really should not have picked a fight with someone who yaks three hours a day, five days a week with an audience that numbers 20% of the voting public. Not a real good idea. Not smart. :nuts:

So, I'm movin' slow and easy. I won't reach my normal allocation till the end of June... Maybe longer if I use an IFT or a free failback G trade or two :p Since the market looks forward six months that means that I may have a full allocation with little risk if/when the market assumes 2010 will be better.

I'll be wearing my best running shoes:p

I was kinda hoping to stage a personal 'capital strike' - but, that could be kinda dumb if we are starting to grow out of the depression toward the end of the year. Anyway, the 10% IFT will not hit till Friday. Looking at the charts my guess is that tomorrow is going to be rather, um, negative. I still won't have enough in the market, early enough, to cause any major damage. Its not like I have three threes and I'm all in:suspicious:

If we get a mighty dump (and I think some Administration Flak opened his yak late today) I will have enough time to squeeze through that gap between the porcelain god and the toilet seat... :nuts:
 
One should consider that stock markets recover sharply after big down years even if the economic recovery takes longer to arrive. The stock market tends to boom for seven years following a period when dividend yields are high - like right now. We are going to be staring glassy eyed at a buying panic real soon - I can smell the superlative bull manure wafting as I type.

Getting in a little at a time right now seems like a good long term plan. I came very close to going in 100% cob today for a day or two play. I thought I may be a day late and held off.

I figure even if I went in long 100% right now and it went down another 20-30% I'd still be way ahead of the buy and hold position by 50%. I'm about even from Oct 07 till now. That is pretty much thanks to participating here and learning from people that know a lot more than I do. Because I think it is going down 20-30% more I'll wait for some new capitulation.

I think this rally will last just long enough to sucker some more in. The "Big Boys" whoever they are are very good at taking other peoples money, it's what they do best.

I do hope the people on here are able to take some nice profit and get out in time to miss the next downturn.

More pain is on the way imo.

Good luck all.

Birch you may be right and if so I hope I figure it out before I'm left behind.

I just really believe we are headed for a real nasty worldwide depression. I can't go against my beliefs about what I see happening just as you can't. I wish you the best and as I've said before I pray you are right and I am wrong.

Take care:)
