Was really hoping it wouldn't have ramped up as much today, as I went from the sidelines to 50% S fund at the COB today/Thursday. Hope I don't jinx y'all.

I locked the binders all the way to the G-Fund for Friday from the I Fund. This S Fund is on FIRE. Someone's bound to throw some water on it pretty soon.

Fivetears,
You didn’t take a 50 cal from the base and mount it in the back of the EC to chase armored cars again did you?

It just tied with the previous high set on May the 8th of $18.27

Just noticed that the 50 Day Siimple Moving Average (SMA) for the S-Fund crossed over and above the 39 week SMA on Oct 24th (Tuesday). I think that's a major event as far as "technical analysis" goes.

You're going to haf ta fill me in on this one, what is the event?

When two different Moving Averages cross, this event can be considered a bullish or bearish crossover. I use 50 and 200 Simple Moving Average and yes they did have a bullish crossover on the 23rd of October. Here is a chart. The event is the crossover and the fact that it is a bullish crossover.

But keep in mind, don't rely on the MACD exclusively. If you are in a long term bull market, it's best to stay in stocks no matter what the MACD says. Similarly if you are in a long term bear market, it's best to stay on the sidelines. Using historical TSP fund data, if you were to sell everytime the MACD had a bearish crossover and bought everytime the MACD had a bullish crossover, you would have done worse than buy and hold, keeping in mind the IFT delay.

Thanks

VirginiaBob --
Not talking about the MACD. The MACD has remained postive and above the crossover line for some time for the S fund. I was referring to the simple moving average lines for 50 day and 39 week. Different indicators and I think a little more substantial than just relying on the MACD which I agree is not a very reliable indicator if that is all you are looking at.

Question now is whether the S-Fund can sustain the 50 day moving average above the 39 week.

I agree you shouldn't look at just one variable, but Moving Average was being talked about, not MACD, for what it's worth.

TO ALL: A MACD crossover is the same thing as two simple moving average crossingovers.

That's the beauty of this site, the sharing of knowledge!

Thanks VirginiaBob!!!

Good point but I think my main point is that the 39 week crossover is not your standard old everyday SMA crossover.
