I thought hard about getting in today with a safe play of 40% G Fund and 60% C Fund, but I'm just not feeling it yet. My concern of course is oil and it is down again as I am typing this. In addition, all the arkers are standing pat on their current positions, so not wanting to be the sacrificial lamb, I decided to do the same.

So I remain 100% G Fund, but chomping at the bit. Lets see what tomorrow and Wednesday brings...

Watching all of this unfold is just plain ugly Raven. I still think we have a nice rally coming up but for whatever reason the market is continuing its trend for a one day rally followed by a pullback. Several of the blogs I follow expect more sideways action this week. These guys were all excited last Friday (as was I) that this week was the start of a meaningful rally.

One of the blogs wrote" The weakness in banks recently is really spooking me. When banks underperform, there's a much greater risk that credit could be squeezed and that definitely would not be good for economic improvement ahead. Needless to say, be very careful on this bounce as it's not likely to last."

First, hearing that the banks aren't performing well brings back flashes of 2008. Makes you wonder which bubble loans are going to default this time. So add a Fed meeting this week to that scenario and it makes you squeamish. If the Fed has any sense, they'll say something like the current market conditions do not support a rate increase at this time. But that's probably dreaming. However, if they did state something similar in soft language the markets would probably rally. I still think the upside to the next rally is SPX 2000 but I'd be happy to see that.

I was expecting that rally this week. Maybe it happens this week. Whoever is running the bots will let us know real soon.

Went in 75% C Fund, 25% S Fund COB today. Markets liked the oil report this morning. Let's hope it also likes what Janet Yellen has to say this afternoon and the market takes off for the next few days. :nuts:

 

[PessOptimist]

Good prices per share today and I hope it works out well for you.

On a personal note, I ended January with a gain of 1.41% and ended up at # 56 on the autotracker for non-premium service members. I beat out all the funds this month except the F Fund but only lagged by -0.07%. Finally, a positive month! Wahoo!!!

Good luck with your investments and have a great weekend !!!

Hey! We gave it a good shot, just stayed too long at the fair. With this volatility I'm sure we'll do it again, and get while the gettin's good! We should walk away w/ ~0.8%, or so, maybe.

Yeah, it put me back into negative territory YTD. But that's ok, because I still chiseled away at the loss I sustained at the beginning of the year. So instead of crying in my beer, my granddaughter and I are going to share a root beer float this evening. Yes, it's comfort food, but hey, we take our pleasures where and when we can.

This trade did teach me why they call oil "the widow maker"...Now where did I put the vanilla ice cream?

 

[burrocrat]

Now where did I put the vanilla ice cream?

if it was april-november i would suggest you check the freezer, but where i live december-march we just keep it out on the porch as it saves on electricity and gives the appliance a nice break.
