Not sure what is going on with the FRTIB. I just checked again this morning and they still have not posted March or April's meeting minutes. I guess I will have to try and ask them why.

If the Bored have their pieholes open be sure they lie. we can thank them were tied down while the market hands us our heads.

This market is quite ill - who's expecting a miracle, cuz its going to take one to pull out.

 

[nasa1974]

Well the market looked great until around 2 and then the sell off started. Dang!! This morning the futures are higher, but the way the market has been going will we have another sell off late? I was hoping to pick up 1-2% through today so I could be out of the market before tomorrow. The way Fridays have gone I'm not feeling a warm fuzzy. I guess I will have to add a little more glue to my sticky pants.

 

[nasa1974]

I mentioned a few posts back that the FRTIB haven't posted the March and April meeting minutes yet. Well I thought I would send an E-mail asking why. To my surprise (well maybe not really) there is no way to contact anyone at the FRTIB via E-mail. Phone, snail-mail or FAX are the only options. If there are technical problems with the website you have an E-mail option or you can submit a comment here, http://www.tsp.gov/curinfo/feedback.html, but that is it. :suspicious:

Nice way to stay in touch with the troops, NOT!!!

 

[nasa1974]

If today holds I will have moved to positive territory YTD in my real account. So I moved to 80%-G, 5%-FCSI. Fridays have been pretty scary lately and I still have one IFT left for the month so I decided to keep my toes in the water for now. Good luck everyone.

 

[JamesE]

I hear ya, I haven't gone negative ytd. That is my drop dead sign, with 6 yrs left, I'll never end a year (again) with less than I started.

50 G 50 F for Friday with one move left.

 

[nasa1974]

Great finish yesterday. Now that I am pretty much sitting in G this Friday will finally be positive.:nuts:

 

[nasa1974]

Todays market is having a tough time deciding which way it wants to go. Definetly going to be an interesting ride.:blink: Good luck everyone.

 

[nasa1974]

Well, Friday broke it's pattern of being a large down day. It started out like it was going to be slightly negative but late in the day the market rallyed. Good for those that hung in there. Again I made the wrong move. :nuts:

 

[nasa1974]

Futures up early and it looks like today should be a pretty strong day. Currently sitting 80% in G and will jump back into the deep end soon, just not sure when. :laugh:

 

[nasa1974]

Thanks crws.

Dang!! I forgot I am in training all week and will be away from the computer. OH WELL!! Win some lose a lot. :nuts:

 

[nasa1974]

The FRTIB finally posted the March meeting minutes. I have not read them yet but here is the link: http://www.frtib.gov/pdf/minutes/2010Mar.pdf.

I hope it doesn't take another two months to post the April meeting minutes.

 

[nasa1974]

Some great information being posted over the last 24 hours. Probably not a good week to be in training. Looking for an excuse to get back into the water. Later.

 

[nasa1974]

Away from the computer all morning yesterday. Looks like I missed my chance to jump back in. Guess I will have to see what happens today. Still in training but should be back at my desk around lunch time so I should have a chance to review the market. Good luck everyone.
