July Report

As stated on a prior post, I needed to get back to basics and follow my strategy. So that's exactly what I did and it paid off. For the month, I ended up finishing with a gain of 0.91%. I'll take that any day.

On 1 July, I was 100% invested in the F Fund. I submitted my first IFT moving to 100% S Fund, effective COB 1 Jul. The one day in the F Fund netted a loss of -0.39%. Boo:embarrest:

I spent 2 July through 14 July in the S Fund and netted a gain of +1.20%. I then exited to the G Fund COB 14 July which happened to be the high water mark for the month, so that was a great call.

All in all, going back to the basics and believing in my strategy is what I needed to do. I've seen lots of posts stating shoulda, woulda, coulda and why have a strategy if you're not going to follow it. If nothing else, the June loss got me back on track. I'm sure I'll make plenty of mistakes along the way, but they're my mistakes and I can live with my mistakes. That's not a dig on the premium services, they're just not for me. I read a quote once; "You can never pay someone to do something as cheaply as you can do it yourself."

Good luck to everyone in your investment decisions!!!

Decided to get back into the game today, but due to the craziness in the market and the time of year I'm only going in 50%. With that said, I submitted my first IFT for August to go 50% G Fund and 50% C Fund. I chose the C Fund because yesterdays closing price was below the 18 SMA as well as the 100 SMA and lately it has outperformed the S Fund. When prices fall like that, they typically fight to at least get back to the 18 SMA. In addition, Tom's Seasonality Chart has us in the sweet part of the month.

Other factors include the top 20 on the autotracker are beginning to move back into equities and yesterdays impressive run back up from the days lows tells me that China devaluing their currency has been absorbed by the market.

Well that's my reasoning, so good luck to all!!!

I think tomorrow all the funds hopefully end high, my worry is Monday and next week. Part of me feels like it's a grab and go with stocks until end of sept. Might take what I can get tomorrow then run to G.
