Oscar, don't fall in love with the upside.

We will see how today plays out. Boy does SLV look tasty.

 

[Show-me]

SLV is one of my favorites and is down 20% on strong dollar action. It has many industrial applications.

Show-me, do you have an estimate on how much an IFT cost is per fund, per dollar or share? What's the source?

This is the SDS six month chart and to me I see a triple bottom and you know what that means. So what do I do? Have a glass of schnapps and go to bed.

I want some PANL, SLV, and SU at these levels.

LIMIT SELL ORDER of $67

OK, Oscar is my guy. Maintaining my limit sell order but will move it a little tighter as I should have a week ago.

New LIMIT SELL ORDER of $67 for both orders.

Durable Good missed big again. Expected was .8%, actual was -1.7%.

Yet the market is not selling off.

Durable Good missed big again. Expected was .8%, actual was -1.7%.

Yet the market is not selling off.

Commentator on CNBC yesterday pointed out that yesterday's negative news was pretty much shrugged off by the market. Said that was evidence that the bad news has been factored into the market.

Show,

What TSP fund(s) are you in now and are you contemplating any moves today?

...

G fund, no move.

In the Long Run, We're All Dead

Posted Mar 26, 2008 12:22pm EDT by Aaron Task in Investing Related: ^SPX, ^DJI, SPY, TLT

When the market is as wild as it's been of late, it's easy to get sucked into the daily drama. But it's always important to keep the long-term view in focus.
And the long-term reality is this: The U.S. stock market has been essentially flat for the past nine years and has wildly underperformed other assets, including Treasuries, as detailed by The Wall Street Journal.
Key takeaways from this grisly track record:

• Owning stocks, even for a long period, is not a guarantee of success as many came to believe in the 1990s. There also the debate over buy and hold vs. market timing to consider.
• Having a diversified portfolio of assets -- not just diversity among your equity portfolio -- is critical to long-term investing success, if not survival.
• The current morass does help set up the next bull market cycle, and U.S. stocks are cheap relative to Treasuries, real estate, and international markets. That may help in the short term, but the stock market has a history of moving in 17-year cycles, which means we may be only about halfway through the current long-term slump.

[/list]Say now, that's interesting. So the market has been in a slump since just before the tech bubble burst?

Makes ya glad TSP is limiting us to two trades a month.

ORCL investors not happy, down 5% plus after hours.

Video updates.

 

[airlift]

Definitely yes!

So much for their "buy & hold strategy. Should we feel sorry for those who sat in the C/S funds for 9 years?
