Two trading days in and i am -.11%

im hoping for a change. Good change.

Better than me - I'm at -.61%!

 

[rktect1]

So far this year i am not seeing the drop i thought i might. Looks more like consolidation. The optimist in me says we are getting ready for another push up. But then there are all those experts predicting a 5-10% drop somewhere between jan14 thru february.

Anybody else here seeing the same or something different? Besides birtchtree.

I agree it's consolidation. I expect it to continue for a week or so as people reallocate their portfolios. Where it goes after that is anybody's guess. If I had my "Time Traveling For Dummies" book I could tell you.

We have news pundants talking about Tuesday and how it snapped the pullback with a rally, looks like they are wearing bull goggles. I see 2 inside days on the smallcaps TNA, and the Transports don't look like they've recovered well, we aren't out of the woods yet. Regardless if we are right or wrong on the direction, a rational trader does not buy at the top becuase most of the time it's the wrong decision (with the exception for the entire year of 2013.)

I would pay money to have more than two IFT's

I think 80% of us would.

 

[rktect1]

100% S fund cob.

I went from 50%S to 100%S. I'm nervous.

 

[rktect1]

Oh man. Today we find out. Pushing up or dropping 5-10%.

I obviously am in the pushing up camp.

S fund is currently up .23%. Not sure what is going to move us higher. Earnings maybe? I don't see any other catalyst since the jobs number was blown.

Some of the ETFs don't appear to be performing on par with the indexes.

You're right?

 

[rktect1]

Honestly, nothing seems right. I'm trying to figure out how the markets climbed higher today. Target was burned. Sears was burned. Apple dropped. Jobs number off by over 100,000. Chemical spill in West Virginia. Unemployment benefits bill stalls in senate. The list goes on and on for bad news. And yet the market goes up.

I cant ant wait for good news.

 

[Birchtree]

The more bad news the better - that'll keep the Fed under raps for QE.

Everything is still not right. So i stay in this soup.

I'm heading for the G fund today. Wil get back in later - whenever we get a pullback (if ever).

If only i had another ift i would move out but too many days left this month
