Show,
I agree totally. They should resign immediately, or else we should push forcefully within legal means to force them out! Meaning.... to throw them out!

I'm with ya Show-me, I want to see a "Perp Walk" not only of the ETAC and FRTIB bums, but the pols in Congress who let this economy go down the crapper. Being only about 4.5 years from retirement, I'm just treading water in the G Fund, though still adding stock in my IRA's. If the markets fall today, I'd love to jump in, but the 2 IFT limit, prevents any sort of slow buy-in that I would like to do.

I might be making a mistake, but I went 75C/25S last week and plan to hold a bit longer. This is a point where Birchtree is an inspiration. Besides, we might get a reflex bounce after the Dow went below 10,000 since many years ago! Best of Luck!

Inspiration ? The man is the 9th Wonder of the World ! If I read that he
is motivated by this "shaking of the tree" / "consolidation" , I'm gonna go
as far as claiming him a deity. Seriously, I find him amazing in many ways.

I joined your club last Wednesday. With todays close, my YTD is about 0.30%, rather than 10+%. At least it makes it easy now!

Rate cut world wide!
Take a look at the S&P chart from the double top in 1999-2001 and compare it to the chart from 2007-today. It is freakishly the same. Double top, drop, rally to 200 dma, hard drop again, and now we wait for a bear market rally to the 200 dma. Even the time line lines up almost exactly. The point are almost exact also. It is freakish I tell you.
I took a 25% hit on UYG. That left a huge stupid mark.
I feel a bear market rally is due, we are way oversold.
I also feel we may go to 800 on the S&P, look at the 10 year chart and that is major support.
We are in for some serous pain and volatility. Keep a cool head and pump up your contributions. As you DCA into the **** storm you lower your crappy YTD and improve your recovery, when it comes.
I'm in the big house of pain for the first time in my TSP. I do have a margin of profit in my IRA's, but it is disappearing fast.
Good luck folk and keep a cool head.

Good morning Show ! I've buried my head in ice and it feels like I've eaten
a Frosted from Wendy's too fast. Good Information as always, Thanks !

This is just not funny anymore! These darn IFT limitations are killing my profit potential.
Not sure how much more of this I can take before I head back to G and officially call myself a loser for the month of October.

I'm feeling a glimmer of hope right now, but think there is more pain coming as the smaller bank will begin to feel the effects of the unraveling of the bad paper.
Pending home sales was part of that glimmer. The report on the news about folks getting fire sale bargains on home was great. The 200k, 300k, and 400k homes selling for 60k, 80k, and 100k mean the FREE MARKET is working these excess home out to the GOOD PEOPLE who did the right thing. They deserve these bargains. The one lady was thrilled and blown away that they bought a 200k plus house for mid 60k. I am thrilled and a little envious of her.
I'm not in love but beings I am in the house of pain I will increase my DCA. The more you put in at these level the more you gain.
Good luck and have a nice day.

Show-me,
I need a good grin too.
Good ol' 20./20 hindsight.....we should have shorted UYG instead of buying. I think my new stance will be when I decide to go long....go SHORT.
I am still holding UYG.
