Is that a suggestion for my avatar?

 

[rktect1]

Who has all those charts? What is the near term upside and downside. I'm ready to bail on this puppy.

 

[rktect1]

Went 75% g and 25% S

no reason to stay all in right now. Might jump all back in after a correction. We shall see. Hopefully it won't correct by cob today

Is that a suggestion for my avatar?

Yes, just a suggestion. For myself I can't afford to have one in my house. May you can, I hope to be able to afford one of these days.

Well i moved to 94% g today.

I had to review my personal rules and goal.

goal for the year is 8%. And hopefully cob i will be above 12%. Cross fingers and knock on wood.

one of my primary rules, i forget, is to not be greedy. Ive got a 1.68% return for the month cob, maybe more. See above for crossed fingers and some wood.

So i took my last ift and left. Good luck to everybody.

Well, i can not complain. Im out and into g fund with a ytd 12.35%

man i dont remember a four month period where i was sitting pretty like this, well not the first four months anyways. I like being in the drivers seat.

If these markets drop off from here, you'll rocket up the tracker, good luck!

Or the markets could jump up and the autotracker will drop me like a bad habit. But I am more concerned over the gains not my tracker number. Even though its nice to be in the top 50 or 100

Thanks, it's a labor of love, but springtime is approaching so much to do this year outside of the house. As for the tracker, one serves the other, but the end goal is the same.

WooHoo!! :nuts:

You made the perfect move!! I, unfortunately, left the party a little too early. But now comes the fun part for both of us......when to jump back in! :blink:

 

[rktect1]

Im fairly worried about getting back in. It's may by the way. The markets are not acting like anything remotely normal. So far so good but I think I'll let another day shake out. Of course, if I see another big drop I could easily be swayed to make a quick swoop in and then back out.

Looks like I need to read a few posters thoughts tonight like jth, intrepid timer and Tom.

 

[rktect1]

So it looks like lots of us just missed a huge buttload of gains this month. Bastard is going up so fast no one can get on. Which is why I jumped on board today for 26% in the c s and I funds leaving me with 1 ift for the month and protecting 74% of my account.

If the market tanks I can then jump back in and if it holds or goes up I can jump out or put more in. Either way I think I'm sasafe remember when this thug tanks you have me to thank

 

[rktect1]

CRAP! Well, looks like plan b is in motion. Watch my 26% drop like a stone and wait for then5-10% correction to jump back in.

id pay good money for an extra IFT.

 

[rktect1]

I tried my best to crash this market by putting in 26% but for some reason that did not work. Well one ift left for the month and it just burnt a hole in my pocket.

I am all in. S fund 100%. For how long? Either 12% loss or a 1% gain.

 

[rktect1]

Sometimes i watch the markets and look at the tsp and really wonder wtf really goes on.

Today the dow was up 138, the nasdaq up 9 and the s&p up 9 yet the tsp s fund went up .02 cents. Two pennies?

my vanguard account probably went up 1%

my individual stock picks all went up, especially my intc, intel about 4%

so who is drawing the actual number out of the hat for how much our tsp goes up or down? Some days i just can not figure it out.

Hey, them boys at Blackrock need their cut too. This could mean the difference for them between vacationing in Fiji and owning it.
