Doctor's appointment and some running around today (new drivers license, car inspection, pick up dog food). You know the usual. Hope I can find some WIFI spots for my iPhone to keep track of the market.

You are welcome to draft me but you are a little too heavy in the S fund to swing past. But we are all going much higher. Only the lonely sitting on the sidelines know the way I feel today. I'm on the hunt for the Lostdawg.

Thanks Birch. I don't mind staying right behind waiting for the right moment. Actually the S fund has been out performing the C fund since the beginning of February. So we will see how things go. Keep moving up the ladder. :laugh:

What the heck just happened.

The market hasn't seen a turn around like this in weeks. :worried:

Around noon everything looking great, almost 1% up both C&S. Then at 1:30 the sell off started. That's OK just after lunch bunch taking some profits from a nice morning high. But it kept getting lower and lower and lower with a few nudges up. Then at around 3:30 it looked like panic set in................

What the heck happened. Is this the beginning of the great correction??????

Not feeling the warm fuzzies for tomorrow either.

DANG!!!

Hey Birch,

Where did you go? The market starts to tank and you jump ship (log off).

Don't worry I'm sure he'll be back, it just takes him a little longer (on days like this) to find bullish stories to post.

I went out to fertilize my lawn and scratch some dirt for vegetables. This week is a lot like last week and I'll probably lose money on the week.

Yeah, Fridays haven't been very friendly lately. Started getting excited. Thought I had a chance to close out the month at 10%. Just hoping to stay above 5. Have a great night.

WOW!!!! The market has turned into a real Dr. Jeckle/ Mr. Hyde.

Below are the numbers from my <1% Option vs. "Buy and Hold" for the weeks ending 3/19 and 3/26.

Even though last week had a few surprises the C, S and (30,35,35) funds where winners. The F fund was the only loser last week. The I fund barely beat out the G fund for bragging rights.

Can't even guess how this week will fair out (end of month, end of 1st quarter and beginning of a new month). Good luck to everyone this week.

Well the markets just opened and it looks just like last week. C & S up 0.50% already. Last week the funds showed promise and by lunch time the sellers ruled. Do not want to get to excited to only be disappointed again.

Yes, it does appear the switch has flipped the last few day. Strong in the morning flat to down in the evening. One significant thing is we haven't had a huge down day since early Feb. If it happens this week, then I expect that to be on the 1st or 2nd day of April.

Has the lunch bunch sell off started for the day?

 

[Birchtree]

Lazlo has increased his SPX target for 2010 to 1325. I see more folks in the top 60 rankings are stepping to the sidelines - that could be a classic mistake for the benefit of capital preservation.

Well made a couple of dollars today. What the heck made the C & S take a quick fall today? Strange market for sure. Goodnight everyone.

Nice day for a <1% IFT

Went from 34G, 33C, 33S, to 33G, 33C, 34S

My <1% spreadsheet is beating the G fund by 2% YTD.

Well March has been pretty positive except for the last week. Will we finsh out the month and quarter on a positive note? Follow the recent trend and I would have to say no. But there have been some surprises lately. Mixed results so far.

The attached Excel sheet is the April numbers from 1996 to 2009. I should have posted this late last week but forgot. This information is from the monthly estimates found on GovExec.com.
