RunningFool's Account Talk

Re: RunningFool Account Talk

A mini crash in the making - love it. Get it all done at once. Then we are primed to head higher without any resistance. I'm excited about loosing money - the price I have to pay to enter the profit zone. And that Spaf character wants it to go even lower - he's in deep at the end of the day - good for him, he's been too conservative for too darn long. Gesus I'm so excited.

If you don't panic, you could have it all back by next week. What goes down goes up. Your DCA should be approaching.

Re: RunningFool Account Talk

Would you suggest staying in the market or getting out till it finds a bottom?

Alrighty then......What does this DCA stand for? Had to ask.

Thanks

Dollar Cost Averaging - the redeemer of many a portfolio. I put all my payroll contribution as well as matching into the C fund - rain or shine. The lower the price the greater the number of shares. Remember it's the number of shares you have that make you money - not percentages.

It can't be that bad?

Re: RunningFool Account Talk

Would DCA also apply to the S or I fund??

 

[Birchtree]

Re: RunningFool Account Talk

Yes, DCA applies to all funds - even the G.

Ok got that part Tech, Thanks.

Well then, I need to adjust my contributions just a bit. Through my absorbing some of this board so far I was wondering if that was the way to go with contributions.

Also then, you would be going all G then if it was the lower price?

Thanks for the explanation on this.

Everybody likes the frog pond for Thursday. I will wait to see what tomorrow morning looks like (maybe a bounce) before I jump in the swamp. I don't want to ride this down if its the BIG ONE.
