Welcome back SB. So glad to hear you are improving. Take it easy and do what the wife and doctor say. I would donate some leave but I are retired.

You're welcome! :laugh: It fits Kelly Bear too, did you notice?
And that's the original words, too. 
Cool! My baby brother graduated college with a great nickname- "The Dancing Bear". He would get into the moonshine or other beverages (wasn't too particular) and here comes "The Dancing Bear". We went to a wedding this weekend and he got into the champagne aaand the Dancing Bear lives!!! Amazing how those college days will follow you forever. We'll never let him forget!

did Fair on the tread mill (stress test). As much as I want to sit here and
chat with everyone for hours (about the market), its too much right now.
Fear not my good friends ! When capable, you won't be able to get rid of
me. :cheesy:
I miss too many of you to mention !

Hang in there SB, all in good time.
They were the drug coated kind. The drug started with a "T". Pooh Memory!
2 Overlapping Stents were used in the Left Side Coronary Artery, approximately
2 cm's away from the Left Side Main Artery.
At this point, every day that goes by brings my gut closer to believing
that a 7% - 10% correction is quietly sneaking up on us. It made sense
weeks ago and makes more sense now. Even if it came true, the (S) Fund
would still be up YTD. Correct me if I'm wrong, but volume has lowered
substantially and most of the big money is sitting in the Hampton's by
now. We're trading sideways and we could rocket in either direction. But
we need a little shaking of the tree before seeing 1000 in the S&P.
Just the investment thoughts of a Madman ! What are yours ?

My attempts at buying dips have resulted in poor performance and I'm still negative for this year on the tracker.
My mindset at this point is to return to a steady DCA into C and I funds. I'm currently 50-50 C/I and as of this week changed my payday contributions to go into C instead of G. I'll use my 2 IFTs per month on the non-payday work weeks to IFT small chunks out of G and into C. I'll buy on the way down or up. Either way its got to be better than my approach since last October.
I figure that regardless of which way the market goes, I"ll be fine 5 years from now which is my time horizon.

If your going to be holding steady in I and C, I wouldn't place payday contributions into C, leave them in G, but move them on a down day into C or I whichever is down the most. That's my stratagey, I have noticed that when payday contributions are bering made the funds seem to be at a peek, and then dip a few days later. Don't know if its a manipulation or just that a large number of shares are being purchased.

If you used payday funds to purchase into G instead of C it is costing you almost $2.00 per share more. If you perform the <1% move (after using your allowed 2 IFT's) from G to C on down days it would barely even out. My opinion.

If your holding steady (that is your not using the IFT's to move your shares around). Also don't understand the $2.00 per share more cost?
