Thanks NASA1974. I use monthly return and charts of previous years as a lynchpin to my investment strategies. In fact I screen capture each 'monthly return' picture I receive and keep them in my quick referral portfolio folder. Nice to see February as an 'up' month btw. I did think that it was a bad month for stocks. On board for February, and I like any good info available coming to us via the message board.:toung:
JJ, not sure where you come up with the 'Feb as an UP month' (?). At least based on NASA's spreadsheet, besides the last 3 years, there is a lot of RED on that chart!!
But I am very bullish on equities this year, and I tend to agree that the market should go generally up....at least til May. The economy IS improving, if ever so slowly, and there is STILL a lot of $$ sitting on the side. I saw a quote that 8 Billion $ came into mutual funds so far this year. Wait for the capitulation of the rest of the fence-sitters and when they jump in and the SPX hits 1550 to 1600....THEN, GET OUT!
That's my plan anyway.....
Level thoughts uscfanhwaii. I agree with all you've said, and not just because I graduated from U of H in 1983. Great, great 3 years on the islands. Anyway, housing is improving. Obama is pushing agendas, meaning there will be a lot of big money support for him I think. I'm keeping a wary eye on what he's pushing however. I think some of what he is hoping for in these agendas will not come to fruition. But a lot of money will be moving around. So 2013 will be a good year for stocks based on what I've derived. Aloha!
That's strange, looking at the TSP monthlies, S & I Fund was the place to be in Feb 2010 - 2012 while you were better off in G or F from 2006 - 2009. Here are the Feb monthlies I'm looking at:
Uscfanhawaii, Cactus, You've both said that Feb is up for the last 3years and that's what I saw in nasa1974's chart. So we're all on the same sheet of this music. Feb this year is looking good for stocks, some up and down, but overall, good.
With our politicians in Wasington looking to play nice over the budget and deficit we just might have a good month. But then again everyone is talking about the market being over bought and folks just might want to take some back and wait and see. It's a big guessing game and I hope we all guess right.
