I like your new found attitude.![]()
There's nothing like a good PMA! (Positive Mental Attitude).
Now, if RMI can just use that PMA to levitate the markets, I'll really be impressed!

I may get a sell signal tonight. Will have to wait and see. I have been gone all day and get back and WHAM! Do you think your system will trigger a sell?
mrjohnross
i for one appreciate all that everyone does, and 1 more indicator will be gratefully appreciated. thanks to all on this MB
Sell signal was just confirmed. I'll be moving 100% to the G Fund tomorrow morning.
Good luck everyone!
Do you have any IFT's left? If I don't get a sell signal, I may hold out.
This will be my first IFT this month, so I'm fine. Let's just hope this correction is minor and short lived. Would love to see it switch back to a buy signal before month's end.
I've been there and done that. At the 2008 lows my oceanic account was down over $1M but I did not panic at the bottom and sell, instead I dumped even more cash into the lows and bought cheap prices. By the time April 2010 came around I was only $24K from making $2M off the March 09 bottom. Now I'm back on the come back trail trying to clear $3M after the nonsense of October 2011. At that point I was down another $1M in four weeks and was forced to do some selling because of my margin position - but I reinvested all my gains back into the market and now Ferdinand is pushing me toward my goal. I figure I'll hit the $3M by the end of May because the truck is loaded up and the bull is strong. Anyone who rode those turbulent times and continued to DCA into their TSP accounts have done just fine and should not change their strategies - adding cash at lower prices is the golden secret.
I'm going to go with you and go to safety tomorrow as well. You and I both are on the same page with earnings so far this year and I'd like to hold onto as much as I can. This back and forth stuff is killing me lol. Will be my first IFT as well so hopefully we can get a correction and jump back in before the months end.
Good luck MaStA. Hopefully we have a good year this year.
In case you are interested, my system remains on a buy.
By the thinnest of margins, I assume? Thanks for the update jken! Good luck tomorrow.

i do not confess to know what i'm doing, but what i bolded is exactly what i did just following my gut. i was sick to see my account decline 50% and i stopped looking and contiued to stay and buy all along. my thinking was the same buy it low while it was low, i was not retiring anytime soon and i had time for it to come back. i actually plan to keep in equities when i retire in 2 yrs. hoping that i will not touch it anyway and live off my CSRS annuity initially anyway. i'm very frugal with my money and will not allow myself to get overextended with debt. thnx MB
