nasa1974's Account Talk

Tracker is back up and operating. Dang I am going in the wrong direction again.

Would like to see the market move up through next week and then I can sit back and relax during October.

Thank goodness. I thought I was about to have to kick you out of the Root Cellar.

 

[KevinD]

Heck. I might as well close the Root Cellar. I'm down there talking to myself anyway. I'm beginning think CH is just being kind.

Sorry KD, I keep forgetting about the root cellar. I just stopped by this morning and caught up on the chatter. Trying to contemplate my move next week. October has not had very good numbers on average over the last ten years. Just hoping the market doesn't force my hand before Wednesday next week. Good Luck.

I keep trying to forget about the Root Cellar. I am finally back to where I started the year but I really do not feel bad after last years 50% gain.

I am still wishing for a hard assets account as silver is up over 50% in last year. It is not that silver is up so much as the dollar is going down. I guess when we get poor enough some of the jobs and manufacturing will come back to the USA.

Would like to get to my April high. Not doing bad this month just over 7%, YTD just over 5% but I am $10K under my April high. Still possible but going to take a bit of luck. Nice to see you out of the root cellar. Good luck.

The last two hours will be interesting. It's just a feeling (I've been wrong more than right :blink but if the market can finish above yesterdays close we may be in for a nice run into next week.

Interesting video. Makes you think. What is the market going to do?

The market sure hasn't followed the technicals as you would think. Of course Washington isn't doing its magic act. And most everyone is saying lot's of money still on the sidelines and low volume has given us this crazy roller coaster ride. So where is the smart money going to go? C, S or I?

 

[Birchtree]

I may not be regarded as the smart money but I am ahead of amoeba on the tracker and I'm slowly moving up. Staying strong with 60C and 40I through eternity. Intentionally staying away from the S fund and F fund - I don't have that kind of courage.

 

[nasa1974]

First hour is impressive. Can it hold through the day?

 

[Birchtree]

SPX to close out at 1150.

 

[nasa1974]

SPX to close out at 1150.

That would be a nice close.

If the S & I maintain the current numbers that would set me up for a 2% gain. Of course I could give all that back on Monday. :notrust:

 

[Birchtree]

Just think what will happen if Monday makes another big run - there will be so many strained necks watching the lift off. Get me in at any price.

 

[nasa1974]

Is this short or long term? It is a good ride so far.

 

[nasa1974]

Wow!! Friday was a surprise.

What will Monday bring?

Can we survive the last few trading days of September? Will October continue this so called bullish rally or sell off hard and take us into the depths of hell it is known for?

Tough times ahead.

Are you strong of stomach and own a good pair of sticky pants or do you take your profits and watch from the sidelines while October implodes or continues to new highs?

Hang on tight it is about to get real interesting.............

To be continued!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Afishegg]

I was reading an article on bloomberg that was saying this run has a strong floor under it, I think it will level off, maybe fall a few points, but hell the holidays are right around the corner and I think people have had enough of belt tightening and are going to spend this holiday season, plus the extended tax cuts are coming soon so ....ALL the way in for me!

 

[Intrepid_Timer]

Futures up over 2% at the moment. Little surprising..............


*Oops, nevermind. CNNMoney has their numbers wrong...................darn it!

 

[nasa1974]

On the positive side of the tracker for the first time since mid August and that was short lived. The last extended stay on the positive side was back in April.

Let's hope this is a vision of good times to come. Sure would be nice to end the year in double digits. Just under 7% to reach my account high achieved in April. Will the 4th quarter be kind or cruel?

 

[nasa1974]

Asia has come off a week of various holidays and is looking pretty strong. Europe shows strength but that could change in a heartbeat. Let's hope the U.S. market can have another strong day but we have to be aware of all the gaps that have been created during this rally.

Good Luck everyone.

 

[nasa1974]

Seat belt is tight. Shoulder bar down and locked in place. Hanging on tight. WEEEEEEEE!!!! What a ride.

 

[nasa1974]

It was 11:55am EDT and I had my finger on the trigger to jump out of the water and into the G fund. I didn't do it. Hope I made the right decision. I hesitated the end of April and it cost me BIG!!
