Yesterday is a prime example of why I took some off the table a few days ago, then more off the table yesterday.

Seasonality seems to be playing itself out...expect more choppiness.

God Bless:^

I'm riding out the I @ 25% because it should rebound NLT next week. Don't want to sell low now... I may actually buy in depending on how it performs tomorrow.

God Bless:^

The I Fund is going for a 4th RED day in a row. It's about that time for a RISE.

I'm contemplating moving 25% more into I, for a total of 50%.

On the other hand the OPEC meeting is tomorrow and the fed is next week with the trade report...AGGGGHHH.

I would love to 100% G fund now.

I believe the hedge funds are going to sell the market today and look to get back in late December.

I hope I am wrong.

Good luck!

My additional move into (I) may have been a bit premature. I won't let it get to me, though. I'll get it back soon enough. Effective Monday:

30C

20S

50I

God Bless:^

Although I took a hit on Friday in the (I), I was hesitant to sell low hoping I would at least get the majority of those losses back this week. By the looks of the foreign markets this morning, I just may get my wish. If it still looks strong around noon, I may pull back somefrom the (I).

Happy Christmas!:^

Sorry, change of heart. Effective Tuesday:

20 C

30 S

50 I

The reason why I stayed 50 (I) is because I bought in 25% moreon Friday then took Friday's loss. I'd like to try and fully recup those losses, instead of bailing out now.

FYI, the last 4 interest rate hike days have been GREEN. Will tomorrow make it the fifth???

We shall see.

Happy Christmas!:dude:

Correction Rob: the last interest rate hike was nice and green immediately following the next two days after the action, the bull market was really picking up steam. The first three hikes the market fell for a few days starting the day after the action, but soon recovered and then turned green. I know, because I played the market short for the first three hikes and it worked out pretty good. This last time I got burned, if you remember ( I know you gotstuck in the G fund too, during that two day ralley.:X) , I underestimated the strength of the growing bull market. Everyone isexpecting this next rate hike. The only question is what will Greenspan say to put a monkey wrench in the works? Check out the chart for the SP500, the money is there and it really wants to go higher, but keeps falling back. You can really see the potential, look at the one month chart. http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/intchart/frames/frames.asp?symb=SP500

ME:

Actually V, the S fund picked up some pennieson the day of the last interest rate hike.

I, too, thought it was down at the time... but it gained.

Go back through my account talk and read the comments I made about that day.

God Bless:^

Sorry Brother :^ My bad, still learning about the site. I said the day starting the day after each rate increase.

No problem! I thought you were correcting me on the "day of" the hike.

God Bless:^

I hated that I missed out on Thursday's & Friday's gains. But, I explained above why I was out.

Now, I will not be sitting on the side-lines awaiting a "low buy-in", because quite frankly it may not happen for some time.

Therefore, since Nov, Dec, and Jan are the strongest trading months, I will be jumping in on Tuesday @ 100%S, possibly moving more aggressivelyinto the I Fund.

Now is the time to remain aggressive! No look'n back...

God Bless:^

Remember :X, Full steam ahead, no looking back.May God Bless you greatly.

Checkout the bounce on the I fund. http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/intchart/frames/frames.asp?symb=EFA Look at the one month time frame chart.

The I fund has been bullish for quite awhile. The pullback ate up about 1/4 of the gains... on lower volume.

Not bad.
