Steadygain's Account Talk

[Steadygain]

Allright Steady- where you hidin' Birch. Nobody out there straight shootin' but Countryboy now...

E

Well E,
It's kind of strange because Birch keeps begging me to let him back on -- but I'm not budging and he knows there is no way he can get around me.

Let me explain something I'm afraid a lot of folks have been missing. When Birch told me he fought in Vietnam that was very huge to me; especially that he 'joined' and went USMC. So I knew it was largely 'integrity' that made him what he is... and that 'more than everything else put together' is why I love him so much and why he's my brother.


Now I may be a little too hardcore but if anyone screwed up in my Unit they paid dearly. If any of them ever got in a fight, or ran their mouth, or did anything that took from the 'Integrity' of our Unit it's rare that would happen again once I dealt with them. Usually a warning was more than sufficient.

That's the way it is here. Insert violins playing and picture hundreds of cartoon characters crying and blowing their noses. Tom had to get a loan on his house and sell one of his cars to get the money to build this site and keep it maintained. There is no way he could have known how hugely popular this place would be and how it would become the 'home' for many of us. OK - now insert images of bombs going off and picture buildings getting torn apart It became so popular Tom couldn't keep up with it - everyone posting every other second and many of these posts could 'get him in trouble' - and he desperately tried to 'edit' comments that were 'unsuitable'. OK - now insert images of the smoke clearing and the white flags going up. The Moderators came out of nowhere and offered their help and things got easier. But once in awhile some would join the site and they simply did not know how to behave. Nnutt and Show-me argued over and over how to deal with it and Lady got so tired of hearing them argue she screamed, 'Just kick his a$$ off'. Silence filled the room -- followed with a faint smile - and that's how it all started. So this is NOT about Birch -- nor Mc Duck -- this is about the Integrity of this site and hopefully a lesson we all can learn from.

Anyway, Birch will be back in 2 days.

Listen folks I need to take a break for awhile. Got a lot of stuff going on.

Later everyone -- and have a Merry Christmas -- if I'm not back before then.

Love ya'll

Psst....Go read my response on my thread

Well in honor of bridgewater Betty I'd like to say:

Waterfalls are beautiful and water itself is not only vital to our planet and every living thing but in many ways it's one of the greatest sources of 'Beauty'.

Betty know there's nothing like being on the bridge and looking down over the water. The flow of the water -- is like a musical rhythm that let's you drift off into a magical world.

So Bridge Water Betty -- welcome and don't be a stranger.


OK -- I'm off to lunch

BridgewaterBetty ---

I'm off to the Hospital -- but noticed you were on.

Wear your warmest coat before heading out to the bridge. :toung:

 

[Steadygain]

Well I'm getting tired of G Fund ....


If tomorrow is cliff dive --- I'll go all the way in for awhile...


At this point I'd have to say it's pretty much impossible to know how things will go for the next 5 to 7 trading days...


Well good night everyone -- be cool and don't do anything I wouldn't do

 

[Birchtree]

Just call me Flicka - I'm surprised you stayed out this long. The 9 month cycle is now in its' first quadrant and the market will respond making a run - we could easily see a seasonal parabolic ascent.

 

[Steadygain]

This is barely getting my knees wet...


...and doesn't look like it's getting better


..... so I may make a quick play to I Fund ...

Just call me Flicka - I'm surprised you stayed out this long.

Flicka would have been 'Great' !!

I'm out mainly because I reached the O9 goal -- and there's no way I want to chance a 5 - 15% super fast correction.

Markets are waiting for me and Bridgewaterbetty

Hey Steady While the dollar is moving up, the I is not such a great idea. It appears now that the dollar countertrend rally has legs and the first resistance is at 77.6 (on /DX futures daily) and the /DX futures are at 76.12 at this time. IMO wait for the reaction before going into equities.

 

[Steadygain]

Thanks Uptrend

To me it's not worth going in 'holding your breath' and wondering if you come out with maybe 2% gain -- or 5% loss.

I'm waiting for 'The BIG DIVE' -- it's got to be something substantial

Something I can really get excited about !!!

So I'm in no hurry

 

[Steadygain]

Wow this was pretty strange....:nuts:

I know most of you (especially visitors) think Birch and I have surely hit the bulk of things by this time..:cheesy:


Hell we're just barely getting started.....


...so run to the kitchen and pop the popcorn -- grab a few drinks....



.......and I'll be back later on

Betty was on the bridge when I went out to meet her.

The moment I greeted her she pushed me off into the water.


That's why I call her: bridgewaterbetty

Hey Steady who does this remind you of?
That's sweet as sugar is it not?:laugh:​

I may be schizophrenic,

but at least I have each other.​

​

 

[Steadygain]

Nnuut, You have the equipment but lack the mindset. Think of them as women - discover them and cherish them and eventually they will become part of you - in fact they will largely form who you are. Then you will never have to say "can't play very well" as playing them will be an intricate part of who you are.


Have a wonderful Christmas my friend - and thanks for being a part of this thread - you are always a valuable addition.

I stumbled over this post as I was looking for the song earlier today.

Whoa -- I wondered what I telling you at first

Yeah, she's a trip.

Deep down I think she's a treasure chest and there are a lot of layers to get through -- but once the theasure is 'uncovered' it will make all the effort worthwhile.

It's kind of how I see 'bridgewaterbetty' -- who comes around here and there but has never made a peep. You just have to keep throwing something out and some day she'll say -- Hi Steady.

 

[Steadygain]

Went all in yesterday with 50/50 -- in C/S

The comments I looked at so far have been 'upbeat' and that's great.


I'll take whatever happens and hope for the best.


GL all

Betty was one of the smartest ladies I'd ever met. By the time she was finishing highschool she was way ahead of everyone else and her life was pretty well planned out.

She knew she was meant for something mentally challenging and so the C.I.A. -- Secret Service -- Special Operator ... were undoubtedly part of her long range goals.

Well we were sitting on a park bench - just enjoying the weather and having a good visit when she came up with the idea to start using 'CODE NAMES' for me and everyone else. A lot of the names sounded kind of corny to me but she gave me a pretty cool one and so I just went along with it.

Well -- I asked what her code name would be ...and this is pretty cool because with me and everyone else the names were like 'instant'. But with her name she looked all around and reflected for several minutes.

Then with a beautiful - confident smile -- she said, 'I'll be bridgewaterbetty


OK -- break time is over --- later all

 

[alevin]

Hey Steady, I wonder if the special attention might not be appreciated? Lots of other newbs out there who haven't posted once yet. Just a thought. Poking might encourage shyness rather than the opposite.

Hmmm :embarrest:

I noticed that 'sweet little angel' in my home yesterday and felt kind of good about that. I think she's more of a cousin (not a sister like you). But ya know -- in all truthfulness that's why I hugely lean on women like you because you know things (and have insights) I'm just totally clueless about.

Now that you've shared this I can see from a 'woman's perspective' she may be on the verse of coming on and I could in fact be making that more difficult. So I'll give it a break and we'll see how it goes.

When I look at the names -- most of them are 'known' - but I see her now and then and was just doing what I could to keep her attention.

Thanks Alevie !!! I'll cut her some slack and hope for the best.

BTW --- I'm glad you said this cause I was going to come up with a totally different story everyday for awhile. :worried::toung::nuts:

 

[Steadygain]

OK -- TSP investors -- -- I'll end the day with a Huge Lesson.

Voo Doo Mentality
​

This is what happens when you fully invest in the Markets (like I did yesterday) and the following day the Markets Crash.

In essense it's the 'Belief' that the Markets were waiting for you and that you actually had the power (or lack of power) to cause the LOSS to happen.

This 'mentality' becomes reinforced as the Markets go DOWN and the individual eventually bails at an even greater LOSS.

NOW -- equally important is the belief that as soon as you BAIL the Markets are going to soar.

Here I would say -- HOLD TIGHT -- get your sticky pants from Birch and follow his example until you make a profit.

OK - now I really am heading home ..... later all ​
