Lawmaker targets Pentagon pay raises
By Emily Long elong@govexe.com March 30, 2011


"New legislation would eliminate annual pay increases for poor performers at the Defense Department. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., on Tuesday introduced a bill (H.R. 1248) that would prohibit Defense civilian employees who receive unsatisfactory performance ratings from receiving annually awarded salary increases or locality pay. The legislation would improve workforce productivity and save $80 million through fiscal 2016, according to West..."

Pretty impressive. Six out of the top 10 are at 10% or better and that is for the 1st quarter only. WOW!! Congratulations. Depending on what happens today the last four spots are up for grabs.
 
Well yesterdays move in the market put me at a new high for the year. Not by much but a move up is good. :rolleyes: Let's hope we can finish the month off on a positive note. Good luck everyone.

nasa1974,
check out what looks like S fund buy & holders since the first of the year.
Seems they make up about 30% of those in the top 50 on the tracker and they haven't had an IFT all year. :)

Good for them!!! I bailed last Thursday when I saw overhead resistance, but the S Fund took off without me. Now I'm left looking for a buy in.

I thought about jumping on the S train awhile back but stayed 40/60 C/S. I really need to keep an eye things as we move through April into May. I do not want a repeat of last year.
 
The market has only been open less than an hour but the air time is great. I better add some extra glue to my sticky pants though. :D:D
 
The CBOE put/call ratio was 0.37 and the stock market dropped 15% - 16% from the S&P 1200 level, and required seven and a half months to recover. That correction came April 14 - April 15, 2010. If the CBOE put/call ratio drops below 0.40 stay alert.

Unfortunately I rode that one out. Near the end of April 2010 I was YTD 13.86%. Rode it all the way down to -6.29%. Sure do not want to do that again.

Thanks, KD.
I dunno, but he's dressed pretty trendy for an alien- new shoes?
Must be serious about the parts!

Biden: Parties agree on figure for overall budget deal
By Dan Friedman and Humberto Sanchez National Journal March 31, 2011

"Congressional leaders appear to be pulling back from the brink of a government shutdown on April 8, as House Republicans and Senate Democrats appear to be inching closer toward a spending compromise in private even as they keep up a public war of words.
Leaving a meeting with Senate Democratic leaders, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday evening that House and Senate negotiators had reached a partial agreement and were now "working off the same number," after the Appropriations chairmen in both chambers had agreed on $73 billion in total cuts from the spending levels proposed in President Obama's fiscal 2011 budget proposal - or $33 billion from current levels. Republicans had pledged to cut $100 billion from Obama's fiscal 2011 budget..."

For the month of March only the I fund ended on the negative side. For the 1st Quarter of 2011 the S fund was the big winner. Here are the numbers;

March

G 0.03
F 0.00
C 0.26
S 0.87
I 0.29

1st Quarter

G 0.07
F 0.08
C 1.19
S 2.22
I 0.92
 
Well for me the month of March was a series of ups and downs. In my real account I finally finished on a positive note at 1.72%. My YTD and 1st Quarter is sitting at 8.70%.

The AutoTracker has me at #76 with a 7.16%. If you count all the folks that are tied at the same percentage then I am sitting at #49. WOO! HOO! Top 50 baby!!!:D :D :D

Let's hope April can add some more dollars to our accounts. Good luck everyone.
 
Well the first quarter of 2011 is behind us. Out of 719 members in the AutoTracker 654 are on the positive side. Let's hope by the end of the second quarter all members will be on the positive side. Good luck all.
 
April 1st. Everyone has a new set of IFT's. How many moves will we see today with folks getting off the lilly pad. :suspicious::blink::nuts:
 
Just a bit surprised. 71 folks made an IFT for today. 11 are 50-90% "G" while 31 are 100% "G". I must have missed the memo. :rolleyes:

Gutsy move. Good Luck everyone.
