After watching the following movie (48 MB), you might find it hard to disagree:​

Thanks grandma. :embarrest: It is all luck.

My intent is to try and feather the retirement nest as best I can before June 1st. I'm not trying to be greedy because if we start a down slide I will pull the trigger to try and save what I can. I need a new vehicle and I figured if the market allows me to reach a certain dollar figure I can take a one time withdrawl to pay for it (after I retire) and still keep a comfortable figure in TSP to play with. So I have to use my IFT's carefully, if needed, and focus on my failsafe number. Being at the top of the AutoTracker is a bonus.

Thanks Tom. I have both in my portfolio and saw the W4500 was negative all day but focused on the positive DWCPF. It just didn't registar that there was an issue even with all the other indicators showing it should have been red not green.

I actually lost more money yesterday when the Dow was up +4 points than I did today when the Dow was down -97 points - that tells me something.

Re: nasa1974 account talk

Great day so far. Who knows how we will finish? The VIX is under 20 so that is a good sign. If the S&P can create a new high off the 1356 we might see some strong movement next week. Good luck all.

As we approach escape velocity past the SPX of 1360 the Dow could easily close out 13,000 COB. Now would that make you nervous.

DOW at 13,000 COB would not make me nervous. A big fall just before closing would make me nervous.
