Steadygain's Account Talk

[Gumby]

Well I'd rather have a little slap in the face :cheesy:

then get cobbered and beaten to pieces


OK - my method may be strange to everyone else

but at least in my little world I have a clue to what I'm doing...

... and I'm simply trying to play the 'moods' and anticipate the probabilities of quick gains in a Major Bear Market

... so when we have huge sell offs in the beginning of a 4 day week:

WITH Day #1 - being a MAJOR SELL OFF
and...Day #2 - being FLAT - or forming a base

I'm still hopeful that #3 and #4 - will somehow show the buyers thinking it's time to go in - which may give me a decent out.

PUSH (the movie) was like another world altogether - and I like movies that stretch the imagination

Then shortly after I got home my wife and Carrie brought home Nights in Rodanthe which I liked even better. It's great when people can connect and let the real magic happen - and so often there's so much beauty ready to sping to life and wanting to spring to life - and it just takes a few buttons to push here and there.....


Well good night to all and to all a good night

Steady,

The futures don't look to bright for tomorrow at the present time. We may be contributing to the stimulus via our TSP accounts.:nuts:
I am expecting Friday to be an up day. I think the boyz will start buying to drive all those puts they have sold worthless. Time will tell.

AliceMarie,
It's a different world here - and can get a little weird at times...

but the Markets are absolutely crazy and just about everyone of us some how thinks we just might 'luck out' and strike gold

so sometimes it's more the enduring friendships and the family that's brought into being that really makes it all worthwhile


Anyway - I noticed you on board and extend a gracious welcome !

 

[Steadygain]

Good Morning !!

Tom, and Moderators, early this morning when I woke from a hard sleep (as I do every night) and everything that day is crystal clear... all posts I've written...

It made me painfully aware of how numerous posts that I've entered have a 'critical' or 'jugdemental tone' and I for one am amazed that none of you went out of your way to point that out to me. THANK YOU !!!

Anyway - my self analysis is more than adequate and I'll try to better job.

My appologies to any who may have been offended.

Steady

 

[tsptalk]

No problem Steady. We appreciate the re-evaluation.

 

[Steadygain]

I've thrown the dice and we'll simply have to see how they land... but I was (and am) more than willing to take the chance of losing a little - to be in the game.

As we plunge into the abyss expect to pick up a few golden nuggets

The DICE were thrown on 2/17

........................hit the table on 2/18

........................today the numbers will be known


If I win - it was sheer LUCK - totally a play on weakness

If I lose - so be it - it's ALWAYS a gamble

.32; -.29; -12.36; -12.25; -17.19

1.09 (-.88)

It would be nice to see the daring make a quick 5%-10% and retreat before the next fall. Good luck.

"I feel like I parchuted down with a machine gun..."

Throw down some heavy cover fire for those following!

 

[Diesel]

Good luck Steady. I hope you can capitalize.

Now is looking very doubtful - I'll be thilled with 2 to 3% at this point


"I feel like I parchuted down with a machine gun..."

Throw down some heavy cover fire for those following!

Looks like I'm running out of ammo - anyone following will likely feel the Bear's claw - if not get eatn' up

Good luck Steady. I hope you can capitalize.

Thanks - that's much appreciated !!

Will check back close to the cut off and see how things are going...

if they look promising then I'll bail to safety

There is NOTHING to substantiate a RALLY in today's Markets
- according to the FED
- according to all the Indicators
- according to what is taking place ...

So the BEST you can do in any given month is buy on FEAR
..................................................................sell on HOPE

Because EMOTIONS are wholly responsible for the Volitility that has dominated the progressive Fall.

My guess is everything up to this point is setting the stage for the biggest plunge to come ... so SAFETY... is the KEY

GL to you all as well.

You going back to G?

 

[Steadygain]

You going back to G?

More than likely :embarrest:

If there is going to be a GAIN - Today is the DAY

At least that's how I see it....

S and I will likely bounce around and end in the GREEN :cheesy:




Plus...am missing the cheerleading on the side lines

I was looking for a down day today so I can buy in. The PPT screwed that up.

Well you're even more daring than me

It may be DOWN .... don't let the PPT intimitate you :nuts:

Anyway - you win some and lose some....

But on the whole if you're going in - you'd better get out fast!!

Buy and Hold is the way to go

 

[350zCommTech]

Buy and Hold is the way to go

Yeah....


We're about to test the Nov. lows. Fall through or bounce? Put your retirement on the line?

 

[Birchtree]

Everything I have (almost) has been on the line and continues to hold that line. The LEI is now up two months in a row - we are experiencing an economic rolling bottom process with price stability.

Philly Fed index down -41 vs. -26 estimate.

 

[Steadygain]

Yeah....

a BOUNCE is what I gambled on....

but that will be short lived and we will crash through

thanks Birch

no offense - but going 100% G Fund - COB

 

[Birchtree]

The Philly Fed index will not move the market - but no inflation eventually will provide lift off.

Key message highlighted.... for speed readers


Don't expect it anytime within the next 4 to 6 months

 

[WorkFE]

I see you parked it back in the Garage. Hope it bounce up some for you.

Thanks my friend !

I try to practice what I preach - and my most consistent message is 'DO NOT LET EMOTIONS DICTATE YOUR MARKET DECISIONS'

...anticapating the SP... and all the other things.. only to be majorly disappointed.

BUT - after the last major dive (my entry) ... it seems to me that the current platform is getting weaker and weaker...

In all sincereity I would not be surprized - (and in fact now MORE THAN EVER) - I'm expecting another major dive of 500 to 700.

If I'm right - then I will be very grateful I fled to safety

Look at the stuff Corepuncher and 350z are putting out and listen to what the FED and all those at the TOP are now telling everyone...

Bottom line - every monthly IFT should last 2 to 3 days Max.
