And so goes the market...

 

[ravensfan]

Regarding Sunday, some good and some bad...

Went to church this morning - good
Smoked a pork shoulder on the smoker grill - very good!
Watched the Orioles/Red Sox game - O's lost 13 to 7...(looks more like a football score) - bad
Orioles have now been swept 11 times this year and have yet to sweep another team - very bad

But hey, football season is right around the corner and my Ravens will be right in the thick of things, battling the Steelers and the Browns (who...the Browns) for a division title. and that is very, very good!

As for the market this week, I did very well on Friday with a 1% gain. Not sure if Wednesday was finally the bottom or if we are in for more pain. I'm hanging in for now with my thumb on the eject button just in case Friday was a fluke...

Good luck everyone*

Effective COB 20Aug19, 100% G Fund.

Nice short term play that netted a gain of +1.70% plus or minus whatever we end up with today.

Happy and content to spend the rest of August on the lily pad.

Good luck everyone...:beerchug:

Looks like the epic battle between the bulls and bears continues today. Up one minute and down the next. :wall:

Happy to be taking a breather in the G Fund...

Good luck everyone and have a great weekend*.

Hang onto your hats boys and girls, S&P futures are down nearly 1% this evening, so it may be time to order another case of sticky pants if you are in the market.:nuts:

For myself, I bailed to the lily pad last Tuesday and am happy to be watching from the sidelines.

Good luck everyone!!!

Every once in while a blind squirrel finds a nut! Just kidding, good move, glad to be on lily pad as well.

Totally unrelated to the markets.

Just getting back from a two week vacation with the Mrs. and can now line off another item from the bucket list.

The purpose of our trip was a quest to go to Maine and find and devour the biggest lobster (or as the Mainers call them "lobsta") we could find. Well, mission accomplished. 3 1/2 pounder cooked and eaten...still have butter stains on my shirt. :nuts:

We also spent some time in Vermont (Hogback Mountain) and Gettysburg PA. The Tacoma and camper (Scamp 16') performed flawlessly.

It was good to take a break from the daily political hub bub as well as the markets. I see that C, S and I have done quite nicely this month, which is kinda odd as September is supposed to be the worst performing month for equities. But hey, congrats to those who were brave enough to go against the trend.

All in all, it was a great trip, but it is good to be back home again.

I did learn something on this trip that I heard on a local radio station in Maine. "Arguing with the Mrs. is a lot like squatting naked with your spurs on." Burro would have been proud.

"Arguing with the Mrs. is a lot like squatting naked with your spurs on."

Burro might have posted a picture to go along with that quote! But thanks for not going that far...my visualization is going to be bad enough to drink away.

Good luck everyone...

With all the insanity surrounding the Dems latest effort to remove a duly elected President, I thought a little humor may be in order. Apologies if the video resembles the Intel Committee's latest efforts.

Enjoy!!!

I like L&H comedy... Yet RF's intent w/the POTUS comment P.Opine about other party needs the context/ edit that... this POTUS was perhaps "duly elected" w/o winning the popular vote & w/big assistance from "stack-doll" president and the FBI-director... Congress is trying to do its job (checks and balances being a major requirement... at least it used to be when that ole Constitution was drafted & ratified), and our TSP brothers & sisters in the Intel- and State-Dept worlds have been run ragged, chewed up & spit out many times by this POTUS. So, humor my be your claimed justification and obfuscation of your post, though seems actually with you comments to be quite sad. Hey, generally I enjoy your input and reading your posts.

I like your post. There's is a lot of insanity on display.

Tread lightly on the political stuff, please. Dems will want to respond and then it will move into the incivility zone, where no good things come.

Thanks

Sorry, Tom. Obviously my attempt at humor ruffled a few feathers. It will not happen again.

Please feel free to remove the offensive post.

Without placing blame on anyone, because I surely can’t run this country, I Love a good laugh and considering the climate, got to have a good one.

No ruffling yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. :wall:
