So, I’m assuming this won’t be one of those holidays where the market closes? It seems like they probably should.

Interesting RR didn't even think of that. I'm surprised the government acted so quickly to give the federal employee the day off. If the market stays open all day I hope we can see some green. It's been a dismal week.
 
while many are - not all business are recognizing the holiday either... yet. i'm guessing they weren't ready for it; but, will be next year. not sure about the exchanges.
 
Perhaps today is just a rebound off the lows, but I'm inclined to roll the dice with a reentry tomorrow. At COB today I'll be 60% I, 20% S and 20% C. If it doesn't work out I may trim my entry into the C & S Funds, but the I Fund looks promising to me as it still sits mostly outside of the Bollinger band's southern boundary. I was looking for an entry point towards the end of the month. This is new territory for me to be so heavily invested in the I Fund, but I just have this gut feeling.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze to me. Too much risk. Can get similar or better results from the C or S fund with less risk.
 
Feel like heading to safety today. I’m leaving just a little on the table with 5% each in C, S, and I Funds. I’d hoped to stay in at least through the first of the month, but, oh well.

It was tempting to buy the dip today, but I'm staying put for now. Great morning recovery, though off of those early losses. There's still a lot of month left, so I'm keeping my powder dry for now.
 
No super analysis going on here, it just looks to me like a good place for the S Fund to turn up on Monday. Going 100% S COB today.

Followed you but only 2% S…risk level is extremely high. One bit of bad news…market will tank. However…in case the S fund does hold the 2178 level…at least I will not be left out. I have another move to make. Most likely scenerio you are right for Monday but market tanks Tuesday. So…keeping bulk in G for now.
 
I was intrigued by your 2% move to the S-fund, felix. IFT's are so precious, but I guess since you have one left you can still do more buying later if you want - and use the free ones to move back to G if you have to.

I do expect to make a big move this month…one more…which I have. The first move was more of a 2% S Fund statement that odds are better we tank early next week before recovering. I posted that in the autotrack with the token move. C Fund likely will follow since it is ripe for a correction. Lots of gun powder ready to rip but prefer a swift market drop instead of a slow step down. I will remain cautious if the latter happens.😂😂🤷*♂️
 
I'm unhappy about today's action in the S Fund, but no THAT unhappy. I'm going to hang out in the S Fund for a while. I'm suspicious of government's (all governments in general) talk/threat of further lock downs in the midst of at least two fairly good vaccines. Whatever the case, what I'm seeing in headlines does not reconcile with what I'm seeing on the ground. People are wanting to go, go, go! If you're worried enough, get the vaccine, if not, then you're obviously not worried. So, put those two together and you see a population that is for "all systems go."

I'm counting on the market to follow the people. I see Canada is reopening their border, so...
 
This market move likely has little/nothing to do with COVID...

it is likely cover for some profit taking - which would be fine and should be ignored if you are not a market watcher.

However, it could be the beginning of a market adjustment to higher taxes, regulation, and energy prices. Those policies do not tend to be positive market movers.

That is why I am camping 50% of my assets in G/F. Don't like F, but it tends to go up when the market dumps. Note that as of right now it is smartly up. But, now is not the market close. We shall see.

I took vaccine as soon as I could and move around freely in all stores and in public without any fear! It's liberating and to me, everything is now normal. Got Moderna and its effective against variants. If I get it, chances of hospitalization are slim. I love my freedom! Things are going to continue improving. Like you said, the market will follow the people. Thing is, how many roadblocks will be put up to keep everything derailed and how long will this continue?

Best wishes to you and everyone* !!! :D:D:D
 
Buy the dip. This train can't be stopped.

Have you ever seen this many help wanted signs in your life? Recessions begin when layoffs start, not when mass hiring is needed.

Sure would be nice to try and reach that top green line.

Yes, it sure would! I don't think I've got the nerve to stick with it on this run, though. I'm banking some coin today and cutting back to 25% C and 25% S. My gut tells me to move to 100% G today, but I hate to be completely out for the rest of the month in case I'm wrong. This early morning stall is really raising an alarm for me (it doesn't take much).

I know just enough about investing to be dangerous, so it's mostly between me and God.
