I am tied for 178th after only two days.

I I haven't been this high on the auto tracker in over a year.

Woohoo. Must be doing it right all of a sudden.

This sucks! Dropped to tied for 179th with a .03% gain for the year.:nuts:

 

[rktect1]

I am still listening to that inner voice.

But it isn't easy staying in the G fund. I feel caged.

Identify your risk and invest on those thresholds. It may set you free!

 

[WorkFE]

It may set you free!

So will Woodford Reserve on ice.

The Remy Martin XO I drank last night didn't set me free.

Ouch!

Going back to my wine.

Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 17YO with a Curly Head Cigar and my front porch. Wine Enthusiast rating: 96

Pulling away from last years loss.

Positive .24

 

[rktect1]

Im like leaps and bounds ahead of last year with a .66 gain for the year.

i feel like dumping into G fund and by the end i should be at 6% or so.

Yet i am compelled to make a big move tomorrow to s/c fund.

my left pinky toe says so, so it must be so.

Might want to wait for confirmation in case this is a going to end up being a dead cat bounce (my cat hates this analogy, especially when I test the theory... btw, they don't bounce very high no matter how hard to try to bounce them), then more pain next week...

Just so you know. If you are currently at .66 and you jump to the G now, you wont even hit half of that 6%.

RMI, I tested that theory with my cat once, he gave me the evil eye for about a month. :laugh:

 

[rktect1]

I am fortunate enough to have two cats, so how high can i test this theory from?

anyways, the premarket is stil in the shitter. This whole week makes me nervous about any move today.

 

[rktect1]

Sold two stocks this week.

iNTC. Small gain 5%. But I had held this for too long about three months.

GILD. 8.5% gain and held under 30 days.

Now I need to find a new stock.

 

[rktect1]

Moved 98% into G fund and left 2% in S.

Why?

When I figure that out, I will let you know.

 

[rktect1]

Still cant figure out my last move.

But yesterday i bought 1600 shares of TZA hoping it makes a big move upwards today.

pre market is looking good.

 

[rktect1]

I unfortunately took my 1600 shares of TZA out when they dropped to $12.08 A gain of about $150 Too bad I got scared off.

Still in G fund though. That is a plus as of right now with the markets dropping.

 

[rktect1]

So i moved into the S fund a day ago. I have a 1.72% gain for the month.

What are the chances i can get another gain tomorrow to put me over 2% and get out to the G fund safely?

well, since the market will either go up or go down, i would figure them chances at about 50/50 on any given day excluding the human factor if whether one actually decides to pull the trigger and executes the trade.

now if a person had a tsptalk silver coin they could just call heads or tails and flip it up in the air and watch the sunlight glint off is shiny surface and then just go with that. plus, at the end of the day they'd still have the silver regardless of which way the market landed so that is a good thing.

 

[pmaloney]

Great answer! Another might include congratulations for a great move for now but why consider getting out so quickly with 2% gain when there will be other months when there might not be an increase.

Sometimes you have to stay invested and take some loss in order to pick up on unexpected gain.

Others say that you must always be invested in order to achieve all the gain in the market.

This site is a great learning experience and you probably know more than I but consider the whole market and year or continue with your monthly plan.

Whatever works for you! Best of luck!

Found it.

GILD dropped 10% this morning. I bought 150 shares at $96.45. I had to do a lot of reading up on what happened in a short amount of time. In the end I hope, yes I used that word, that I made the right call.

 

[rktect1]

Moving out of the S fund to the F fund.

no more IFT left for the year. That sucks.

February has me spooked though.
