Sure wish investors would make up their minds. Getting tired of the markets taking one step forward and two to three steps backwards. :mad: Today was a good day but I hope tomorrow breaks the trend. Since last Monday the "S" fund has gone +0.53%, +1.46%,
-0.15%, -2.53%, +0.93%, -1.71% and +0.60%.
 
One of the nice things about the volitility in the market though is trading on the swings and learning to not be too greedy on the positive returns.
