SteadyGain and Others on the Move

SteadyGain, reaching for Stars Fund, eh...

Living on the wild side

Thanks for the link showing how to find what the folks are doing. I never actually found the daily transaction link. Anyway, I almost pulled the trigger today. Actually almost more than almost. But, our stupid NMCI network wouldn't let me into the 'Autmated Tracker Software'. I could get to the message board, but not to the main page. Thus, I could not pull the trigger.

Hopefully, you bubbas will spread the love when you all make your moves. I would find that very helpfull. We are all in this together

Also, SqualeBear,
Glad to hear there will be a new crumb cruncher for the holidays... Need pictures...

Steady,

Just got everyone prepared for the trip on the Big 'ole Jet-Airliner.

I finally got to see the markets this afternoon and wasn't too surprised, but you knew I wouldn't be.

Hey bro', read Job. Keeps your life in perspective. Peace & God Bless!

SteadyGain, reaching for Stars Fund, eh...

We'll hope ... THANKS .... that's very cool

Living on the wild side

Well let's just say I live where I belong,
....................where the payoff is the greatest
........................adventure is a big part of the game
............................and knowing the biggest thrills involve some risk

Hopefully, you bubbas will spread the love when you all make your moves. I would find that very helpfull. We are all in this together

I usually make my moves known well in advance - and all of us post them on the Auto Tracker.

This time HALF OF ME felt like I'm diving into the biggest waterfall this year and taking the chance I can swim upstream against it. So waited towards the deadline to POST because anyone following my lead my wind up way under water. But you're right we are all in this together and that togetherness should take the highest priority.

Steady,

Frixxxxx,
Thanks for stopping by!

Be yourself man - cause you are BEST!!

Happy -20% Day !!!

C - 21.95%...........S - 22.29%........I - 25.19%

It's almost too much to comprehend that we are at THE VERY BEST

.................AT THE HALF WAY POINT

so I would think we'll drop another 20% - this year before it's over

I'm not saying this to be discouraging - and nor did I say we'd go down at least 20% at the start of the year to be discouraging. I'm simply being realistic and accepting the inevitable and NOT LETTING IT GET ME DOWN. There is nothing we can do to change what has happened - and where we are heading. The very best we can do is MAXIMIZE THE G FUND and go with the flow.

We can blame the government - or this group or that - but in the long run it is the habits and practices of the masses that fuel the corruption that ruin the world. If everyone lived life more simply and did all things possible to live within their means then we would not be where we are today. If people made a point of giving - instead of taking - of looking out for one another instead of looking out for themselves at the cost of others the world would be totally different. The best we can do is look within ourselves and start from there.

In the movie 'Top Gun' ....

which I saw twice on the big screen when it first came out

'I FEEL THE NEED .... THE NEED FOR SPEED'

WELL I FEEL THE NEED.....THE NEED FOR GREED

The Markets are going EXACTLY as I thought they would...

.... start out on the higher UPBEAT NOTE...

..........COME DOWN....

................and hopefully end the day on a GOOD NOTE.

But now I'm wondering...humm....should I just stay put and hope for a better day tomorrow...

Days like this are way harder than yesterday when it's so much more obvious how the day is going to end.

If I were in your shoes, I'd just stay put. You're waaaaay ahead of the market averages and you will remain way ahead as long as you're fully invested. You got in the markets at a big discount. I'd just stick with it and ride it out.

 

[Steadygain]

If I were in your shoes,

If you were in my shoes ... you'd be dancing on air

floating above the chaos and just chilln' and enjoying...

BUT WAIT... You're like 10 x better off than me

I'd just stay put.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm thinkn'

Right now the BEAR is just scratching an itch - so it's OK

But I'm way too convinced we're going a whole lot lower to just ride to the bottom

You're waaaaay ahead of the market averages

That's only because I knew how the Economy was doing and where it was heading...so largely knew G was the place to be

and you will remain way ahead as long as you're fully invested.

Well thanks - and maybe tomorrow will be a SHOCKER and I'll come out ahead -- but for now 1 or 2 day plays have to be the rule

I mean it's not like everything's not crumbling under our feet - it's totally that I'm hoping enough will believe this is THE BOTTOM and push me back up

So I am totally playing on 'the weakness' of others and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If I get burned it's simply that others didn't respond as I thought they would.

So my moves have NOTHING to do with the ECONOMY but only have to do with 'the risk others are driven to take'

You got in the markets at a big discount. I'd just stick with it and ride it out.

I'll ride until either I dump it or it dumps me .... but at this point it's kind of like we're dating and just getting to know each other.

They're way more attractive to me when they act this way... cause you can tell it's not an easy catch... but yet the reward is wholly worth the persuit.... so she's got me for now.

OK - Yes I admit it - I think of the Markets like a woman


Right now - when I look at the chart..


'Wait ... what's this I see

...is she coming back for me...

.......OHHHH YEAHHHHHH

PRETTY WOMAN!!'

Ha! I'm with you! Pretty woman--stop a while. Pretty woman--talk a while. Pretty woman--give your smile to me! :laugh:

 

[Boghie]

Prayin' for ya, Steady...

And, all the others that pulled the Equities Trigger yesterday...

Don't really like what I am seeing though. Based on the end of the day crash trend I think the best that one can wish for is a wash. In this market a wash is wonderful!!!

This thing is miserable. I am eating grubs and worms in my ‘F Fund’ hidey hole right now…

Thanks a million.... and we all appreciate it !!

As I told GREG earlier on - the momentum is building and the general sentiment controling the Markets RIGHT NOW is very POSITIVE

So it's pretty next to impossible the day will not end very well

I largely see our PRESENT EVENT as a Temporary Bottom - and this week should be one of the best we'd had in ages

But don't worry cause Guns and Roses said, "Nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change" ....

and those guys are never wrong :cheesy:

:cheesy:

Brother, I hope you are right!

 

[Steadygain]

Re: Prayin' for ya, Steady...

Brother, I hope you are right!

Well I'm wrong about TODAY ending in the Green

but that's cool and I'm okay with that.


Today's actions overall still appear to setting up a BOTTOM - or a STEP - as I'll call it - because I think it's temporary...

Whatever - if you're not willing to sacrifice a little you'll never get ahead so Tomorrow will tell

WITH F FUND GOING DOWN - that's a pretty good signal for STOCKS

To me the SPX RULES -- it hit 695 THREE TIMES TODAY - so I will call that a BOTTOM

I look forward to the rest of the week As my big brother says: Snort

 

[Boghie]

Steady,

It bounced around. Really didn't go down like it has the past few weeks. We are probably nearing a bottom. Even Bernanke and Geitner didn't generate a free-fall today:toung: When it happens you will be involved.

Me, I seem to be too indecisive for me to pull the trigger... Would have yesterday, but not today. Indecisive is usually not something I'm known for:embarrest:

 

[Steadygain]

Steady,

It bounced around.

Well my friend - we'll leave on a good note

It bounced more solidly showing a sustained bottom - a platform on which gains will be sustained and I will hold to that.

Really didn't go down like it has the past few weeks.

It went exactly as it should. If we're looking for a bottom then it has to be after substantial sell offs and all the more after a huge one.

So yesterday was pretty much the bottom - and today it simply settled a bit to essentially the same place. Again - I see this as a very good sign.

We are probably nearing a bottom.

When I say a bottom - I only mean the bottom of the step - not the real bottom. But a temporary bottom is what we need to achieve any gains as we plunge to the REAL BOTTOM.

Even Bernanke and Geitner didn't generate a free-fall today:toung:

Tim is getting way more attention than Ben - and I probably shouldn't say much because I honestly love a lot of the people on this board and their friendship means more to me - than my views of Tim, Ben and all the others.

Someday I'll like to stand on one of the many porches and sip on some coffee - or visit CB or Birch - or you for that matter and the last thing I want is some political garbage to interfere with that.

With Tim it's very much 'You're damned if you do, damned if you don't situation'. I believe he is fully committed in doing everything possible to turning this around and every one of his efforts are honestly meant for the good of the whole. So I hope him the best and if his plan WORKS it makes no difference to me how many toes get stepped on. SO FAR THERE IS NO DOUBT THEY ARE TAKING A VERY AGGRESSIVE STANCE - AND I'D BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ANYTHING LESS.

When it happens you will be involved.

I'm afraid you give me way too much credit my friend. Part of me is afraid I'll wind up looking like a total idiot - there simply are no guarantees in this BS Market - but I'll hope for the best.

YES - HOWEVER - When we reach the REAL BOTTOM then you can be sure I will make it known by both my full investment in Stocks and my posts.

Me, I seem to be too indecisive for me to pull the trigger...

If I'm right and you miss a 'brief rally' it's no big deal my friend. You decided things are going downhill super fast and there is nothing wrong with thinking 'safety'.

Would have yesterday, but not today.

I would have all the more gone in today. Went in yesterday strictly for the DEAD CAT - but got even better if it's a temporary bottom

Indecisive is usually not something I'm known for:embarrest:

Somehow I can tell that - you seemed to be wired like a man

Not afraid to show your feelings and tell it like it is

Well - I need to run - see ya all tomorrow

 

[Steadygain]

Good Morning weeblos, brownies, cubscouts, boyscouts and girlscouts.

Today I'm showing you how a submarine works...


Once under the water I can fire the missles :nuts: and blow the sh** out of anything that gets in my way...


ahh hemmmmm... I mean once under the water I can send a friendly signal to Mr. BEAR that he may get hurt if he comes any closer.


So remember - usually you need to be willing to face a little pain to get the GREATEST REWARDS.

Class dismissed...please enjoy the punch and cookies

 

[Steadygain]

Hey everyone

I'm sorry for sounding like such an idiot lately :embarrest:

and I seriously feel for anyone that already took a loss.


It's just I've been in SAFETY throughout the year and need to break loose...


so when I do go in the Markets it's with a vengence and I'm all fired up


somehow feel the stronger I come across the better..:blink:


so I sure hope I didn't offend anyone.

Anyway - my take on the Markets right now is:
We hit bottom 2 days prior
Yesterday we formed a BOTTOM
Today the BOTTOM is getting stronger

We'll hope for better lift off tomorrow - and if it's any where near 4% - will bail to G.

 

[Steadygain]

Everyone feeling BULLISH


PLEASE GO TO MY GROVE AND TRIP PAD

IN THE LOUNGE

AND SING TODAY'S SONG ALL THE WAY THROUGH

 

[Steadygain]

Needing some confirmation ??

This is what the AT is all about !!

It's not for me to be in the TOP 10 although that will happen
(or even compare our standing to one another)


It's so we can identify the Mega Gainers over time and get a sense of When to GO IN or OUT

Look at who went in TODAY and YESTERDAY

Good times are highly likely - so.....

'I'm singing in the rain...... singing in the rain"

 

[Steadygain]

A time to reflect.....

Over the years I've noticed:

The C Fund consistently went up a Penny a Point
It was a standard rule that held consistent - so I always knew how much I'd make

The S Fund consistently went up a lot higher per Point
So I quickly learned - dollar for dollar - the S Fund was more generous

The I Fund consistently went up a lot higher per Point
UNTIL ABOUT 2 YEARS PRIOR

IF a LONG BULL MARKET takes place - it's highly possible that the I Fund will generate a lot more reward dollar for dollar

And that's my reasoning for going 100% S Fund - right now dollar for dollar - it has the BIGGEST BANG
