Top Return 2008
Finally returned from China with our new daughter. She is doing really well!
Hope everyone is doing fine. BTW, I'm still 100 (G)... been too busy to watch the markets and decided to park-n-ride. Talk soon!
God Bless
Congratulations!
I have a 10 year old daughter. I would do anything for her. Kid's are a blessed thing to have. I remember your post saying you were going to China. Thank God everything went well.
As far as the market's it was probably an O.K. time frame to be in the G.

Still 100 (G).
I'll end 2007 with a little over 6% in account earnings- probably barely falling short of the S&P 500, depending on how it trades next week.
I've been in (G) since July because I did not have the time to track the markets.
Now that I have more time on my hands, I'm looking for an uptrend to jump in for 2008.
BTW, I will begin the automatic tracker on 2 Jan.
God Bless, and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
I ended 2007 @ +6.14% in account earnings.
It could've been a lot better, but I was extremely busy during 2007.
At least I beat out the S&P 500 (every investor's goal) along with the (S) Fund.
In case you are interested I put together some numbers for 2007.
Here are the following gains/losses in points:
EFA: +4.99 (+14 in 2006) (opened the year @ 73.51 / closed 78.50)
AGG: +0.96 (opened the year @ 99.91 / closed 100.87)
DJIA: +790.30 (+1,796 in 2006) (opened the year @ 12,474.52 / closed 13,264.82)
NAS: +229.12 (+395 in 2006) (opened the year @ 2,423.16 / closed 2,652.28)
S&P: +51.73 (+194.61 in 2006) (opened the year @ 1,416.63 / closed 1,468.36)
DWCP: +25.89 (+91 in 2006) (opened the year @ 629.51 / closed 655.40)
NIKK 225: -2,045.89 (+3,007 in 2006) (opened the year @ 17,353.67 / closed 15,307.78)
NIKK 300: -39.06(opened the year @ 340.15 / closed 301.09)
DOLLAR: -7.12(opened the year @ 83.82 / closed 76.70

I'm now sitting:
50 (G) 50 (F)
I sense (or hope) that bonds will do well for a time until this market "settles out".
I was going to be 80 (G) 20 (F) to kick off the new year, but decided to wait- which prevented me from some gains- so here I sit.
BTW, I will not be able to access this message board during my work day due to "company policy", but I will still manage to post my IFT to the auto tracker.
So, if you are the least bit interested in knowing what I am doing- do not rely on this thread, but rather look at the auto tracker- as with everyone else.
But when I think of it, I will post a courtesy IFT here. It just won't be during my work day.

The S&P is now 4.93 points from hitting the Aug low.
The DOW already dropped below that low by 61 points.
DWCP is .65 from its Aug low.
You could say we are due for a bounce... but when?
I'm thinking next week, but I will miss it because I am not jumping back in until then.
BTW, it just may be a good idea to be in equities for the fed meet on Jan 30. The market is going to like what may turn out to be a .50 cut.

You must be talking closing price on S&P, because we hit 1370 intraday, so we are more like 41 points off the August low.
I fully agree with you, the FED is the key in the short term. I predicted a low between new years and the FED meeting, seems like it's working out. Last time, they dissappointed us with only a 25 pt cut. Judging from the minutes, they might only do 25pts again.
I bought 50% in today (friday). I'm looking to sell that at 1440, and buy more below 1400.

Rod, great post. Appreciate the work you put into this. Feel free to check out my account thread. I have a feeling we are not bouncing off 10% this time like I said we would the others. Be cautious here. The market is going to have a violent selloff within the next 3 weeks IMO. Try to have some cash available to buy into it. We will end the year higher then the current levels, since we are now down 5% YTD......So anything you put into the markets now, just stay put and dont worry. If you have money on the sidelines, better yet.

Yes, I am talking closing price.
The S&P 500 closed at 1,411.63.
The Aug low to test is 1,406.70 (correct me if I'm wrong)
The intraday for today was 1,411.19 - 1,444.01
God Bless

Last year, I shared a little excel tracker that I use daily to track the market.
I've improved it and want to share it in case it may help someone out. If you are interested in receiving it, please PM me your email because it is too large to attach to this post.
It's nothing fancy... it doesn't automate... but is organized to my liking.
Now, if there is someone out there who feels they can automate it please do so! I will compensate you for that (if it meets my needs) because that would save me A LOT of time each evening.
