Here's more from Space.com

Here are Septembers numbers.

Since 2008 there have not been more than 2 positive years in a row and 2016 and 2017 were positive. So I wonder what will happen this year? Do we break the streak of stay on coarse?

Thanks for providing the numbers!

2016 returns were pretty flat (.02), guess it still counts as positive though

Wow! I only recognize one name of the top 50 in the "AutoTracker". Wish some of these folks would post once in awhile to pass on little tidbits of wisdom.

Well the top two (Nadeem & Dorado) just bailed to the G Fund today. Maybe we should have joined them.

I prefer to leave a fund on an up day vs. a down day, a tough call when you have to decide before noon EST with 4 hours to go before closing bell. But when you are sitting at 22% you can afford to bail on a red day.

Exactly, Nadeem has never posted anything on the forums, I even sent an IM to see who it is and why they do so well, no answer.
I'm starting to look at the tacker everyday for the "Nadeem signal" LOL

LOL!!! But 11:59am doesn't give you much time to pull the trigger. :laugh:

Me too, but then I get into the trap of riding it down several days in a row only to bail after the first day of a come back. I still need to work on my exit strategy. :embarrest:

 

[Cactus]

OK, looks like this was our up day. Did anybody get out? I didn't. I stayed put. Maybe I'm to greedy. Oink. :biggrin:

Next week will be different. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but I will be positioning myself for an entry into September. I may head for the lilly pad or try one of the stock funds. The S Fund has done good so far in August but I don't expect it to keep the lead in September. Historically the I Fund has done well in September. I will have to wait and see how it looks next week. I still have 2 IFTs left.

 

[nasa1974]

September isn't starting out very good. :blink:

 

[Cactus]

Looks to be coming back now. It's probably just the post holiday selloff. Still, I'm glad I bailed at the end of August. I'm expecting more volatility in September.
