Me too. I don't see me with a gain this year. I'm working my way to the last position on the tracker.

Hmmm, I made it up to 50 by sitting in the pond lately. I think I'm going back down as the S fund goes up. Back down to 80.

On August 10th, I was down YTD -5.3867% and now I'm +2.2880%. That's more then a 7.6% swing.
While not one who likes to toot his own horn, the reason for mentioning it is quite relative. Between now
and December 31st, we should see several of those opportunities come our way. Hang in there ! Those
damn IFT Limitations prevent our ability to bounce back quickly, but bounce back you will. I can feel it in
my bones !

Does that include today's loss?
I was in the (G)arage yesterday getting an oil change. My YTD gain as of yesterday was +2.2939%
Good one...I remember that (lol)
Then as Danny Glover calls him crazy and walks away, the peeble falls from the roof of the meat factory and hits the puddle...as the Predator approaches.
Do you remember laughing as the "posse" limo picks up Danny Glover (police detective) and the car door opens up...with a huge cloud of smoke coming from inside the car.:cheesy:
I found the second movie MORE enjoyable then the first. Yes, I remember laughing as Glover got out of the car and said "Man! You guys gotta cut back on that stuff".
I believe you'll find them in the Wall-Flower section. But I think Birchtree bought the last few. (tee hee)

I doubt that, there is a lot of selling going on out there...But I think Birchtree bought the last few. (tee hee)
And we haven't seen the last of it either. But you know Birch, he'll buy Wall Flowers all the way down to the Gates of H E double hockey sticks. I think he needs to sell and invite all of us on a all expense paid vacation. (LoL) Ya can't take it with you ! (LoL)Watch out my friend, The Woo says we're gonna close below 1187 by weeks end. Best of Luck !
Never under estimate the knowledge of The Woo ! Today, she says the bottom will be easy to spot. Not because it'll be a "V" Shaped recovery, but because the market will level off and stabilize then slowly head upward. I don't see it myself, however, I'm thinking Never Go Against The Woo ! (rotflmao) :nuts:

The swings haven't been as crazy lately. A relative bottom?
Hi SS, welcome to my thread and to TSP Talk Forum. I'm still recovering from Thursday's Whooping that your
team gave mine, but I'll do my best to see through it and answer your question. :nuts: A relative bottom ? Maaaaaybeeeeee ! It's just so hard to tell. Then again, it always is. Pundants
will cry out bottom's on TV -----> then retrack thier statements as the market takes another dump. The 2008 crash was no easier. But you all ready know that. What I can say is
this; I believed the 1100 level was key. Now I'm hearing the high 10's in the S&P500. Should the market not withstand the test and goes lower, I haven't a clue as to when she'll
stop. In my gut, I think we're closer to the bottom then not. In other words, there's less downside then up. I'm hoping that August continues to disappoint. (I'm in the G). Come
September, I'd like to see 1075 before putting half my money at risk. Should she close lower, I'll have some dry gunpowder to average out the cost. Should she go higher, then I
usually jump in with both feet (head first). Everything I've said is subject to change based on my Gut, Mood, Research and what The Woo tells me. :cheesy: The only thing thats certain is
my confusion. A final word: if you jump in and find yourself wrong (the market goes down further) then remember that you don't lose a penny until you sell your position and jump
to safety. Don't be so quick to do that. Do what I do, close your eyes, walk away and man up until you see what you had originally hoped.

I think my statement is wishful thinking more then anything. The way I look at it, I jumped into F/G COB Aug. 2. Since then I have gained some while the markets went down. I am now buying more shares of CSI with more money then I had. I am doing better then buy and holders. It may turn out I could have done better but such is life, a small gain is still a gain.
As for football, I wouldn't worry too much. It's the preseason. What annoyed me was the love for Tom Terrific got for his numbers against the Bucs while barely a mention of Ben's relatively same numbers against a much better defense. But it's the preseason, so who cares. But the CB and OL still scares me. The offensive weapons will be sick though. Here's to staying healthy.

And thanks for the warm welcome!
Good Luck this year and yes, its the preseason. With that said, Pittsburg exposed many problems Philly has to fix before September. Thats a good thing, as we prefer sooner then later.
With the Sports Illustarted Curse looming and the "Dream Team" label to live up to, I have my fingers crossed (just as I do every year). May there be an Intra-State Super Bowl !

I'll agree with that at the current levels. But would not have a few weeks ago for the people that jumped in with the S&P 500. It could be a year before the S&P gets back to those levels, while there's a possibility that the downturn is only half over. I got in August 1st at the first chance I had with new IFTs. I sold August 15th for this exact reason. I think its going to take a bull market to get back above 1250-1300, not just a rally.
Ignoring my head, gut and instincts and placing my hard earned money at continued risk (based on a hope and a prayer) is not the philosophy I normally adhere to. However, I lost
over -10% on August 5th and 8th and the loss was too steep for me to lock it in by bailing to the (G) Fund until September. I waited until the 18th before doing so. Truth be known,
on 8/8/11 ----> I closed my eyes, stopped watching the market on TV and grabbed my Nitro. As far as getting back to the 1250-1300 level, you may be right. But I've seen months
were the market rose when everything said it should drop. Even within a Bear Market. It all boils down to speculation. For me, much of my balance comes from Luck.
Good Luck ! Its a valuable tool.Similar threads
