That would be nice since I'll still be 50 (I).Been there, done that too.European markets closed a while ago and the market is still going strong in after hours trading. Hopefully this will carry over to tomorrow and then some.:^

Well the money is there for the SP500 has I said before. Look at the chart, noticefor Nov. 3, todays push whats to get back up to that days high. The money is there, but is the will? Use one month time frame to get a good look.Hopefully the S fund will finally break out again. http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/intchart/frames/frames.asp?symb=SP500

Like you Rod, I was just enjoying the blessing of the day. I didn't mean to sound too prideful. I know just how quickly things can change. I was just feeling pretty good that I didn't panic with the drop of the I fund. I stuck with my plan, reviewed the charts andtriedtostay focused.I noticed my thinking about the market is much more steady, than several months ago.This site has been very helpful.:^

I think I may have played a role in Rod deciding to hold his position in the I fund.
Buying in is the easy part. Selling is the hard part. I'm sitting on a tiny loss for 10% of my I, and a healthy gain for 25%. I'm rolling the dice right now and hoping the price will shoot back up past the $15 level, perhaps hitting another all-time high. Based on the EAFE chart, there's no reason why that can't happen, especially after that healthy pullback last week.
I'm planning a quasi-exit point around the $15 per share level... meaning I won't dump all of my holdings over there, but I'll probably slash them in half or so - and go down to a 20% I position. Whatever I get out of that move, I'll be looking to push into the C fund, since it is still the cheapest stock fund by far and has lots of upside with a coming interest rate hike.
I'm watching the C and S performance very closely - C beat the S today. If I see that happen a couple more times, I'm going to reallocate and take advantage... I doubt I'll ditch S completely, though... but I will look to lighten it a bit and at least have my non-I allocation evenly split between S and C. If C continues strongly, that may shift to all C.

BTW, I'm thinking of lightening up on the (I) today as well. I had already planned on dropping to 20%. Then I may go:
45C
35S
Happy Christmas!

Today!!! 30 C and 50 S will put the other 20 and I tomorrow.
Have you seen my lab rat, Suppository? He has a badly damaged CPU and likes to step in front of trains like; trade balance, IP, CU and FOMC reports.
We can rebuild him but we can not get the crosswired brain fixed.
Have a great day! Yesterdaywas called a Mark Up Day.

MT, you have been dis-credited. Either give it a break or accept the challenge. Very simple. I think someone may have switched brains between you and the rat.......no wait, I'm not gonna slight the rat like that............
