Steadygain's Account Talk

[Steadygain]

Don't worry - if I remember correctly none of the premiums have been exactly up to standard for the last two years.

I'm not worried my friend.

I'm into 'Capital Appreciation'!!

 

[Steadygain]

Folks I'm not getting rich by leaving all my money barely floating on a Lilly Pad.

Nor would I remotely consider burrying it under the ground in F Fund.


Nope - I'm 50/50 -- S/I

Why, cause I like watching the POT get bigger and bigger.
I enjoy sitting back and watching the money grow.

Now it's NOT for everyone -- and some might have a hard time with these $100 dollar days over and over....


BUT -- ME --- I never get tired of it. I love it and it only gets better.


Well have a great weekend everyone --- in case I get too busy.

 

[Steadygain]

Well we got the plane tickets to fly to South Korea - 5/25 to 6/8

It's illegal to shoot people here -- but over there it's pretty cool and I like killing just for sport.

For $6,268 just to fly there and back - I hope the targets are exciting.



Well onto the MARKETS --- I'm going to say...

ummmm go to G FUND and stay a little while cause we're going down.


Welll goodnight all

 

[Steadygain]

Well like I said when I went 100% IN - 12/1/10

I am making moves for a minimum of 3 months ---- and then will consider stretching it out to a total of 6 months.

My initial move to 100% I Fund - went to 50/50 - S/I with the new year.



I'm totally overjoyed with how everything turned out.


I'll probably move towards 'Safety' at this time -- at least briefly --3/10.

MARKET VOLITILITY (MV) is an essential element of our present condition and can not be ignored. The general 'Absence' of MV over the past 3 months --- makes it all the more difficult when it happens.

My guess is a 'Healthy Correction' will dominate the immediate short term picture -- followed by another 3 to 6 months of considerable gains.

I went off the AT this year.

Figured I'd still post my moves -- and my general thinking.


I'm still 50/50 -- S/I --

We've had an exceptionally long stretch of 'good luck' and the bigger part of me thinks 'consolidation' is enevitable. I see a 'correction' as a Good Thing and NOT a bad thing.

To the greater degree I see the current Administration sending us close to the pits of hell with 'endless spending'. The MARKETS may be able to ignore it for awhile only because the strength of the Corporations are largely immune to our Government Weakness.

The problem is more Huge Spending -- tightens the screws on the general population and thus will curb spending -- and reinforce more panic. All the more - the things going on with North African Nations and it's subsequent impact on the Middle East has not phased us 'yet'. In a Global Economy the ripple effect is unavoidable.

We like to pretend we're above it - but we're not.

So -- I'll hope for a Bounce Tomorrow -- and move to G for a month.

Whoa -- now I've got the MARKET Insights

One small step forward followed by 2 big steps back.


That's how I see the MARKETS going for the next week or so

 

[Steadygain]

Hmmm what would I do if I could make any wish come true???


I've have these huge Amps and Speakers set up outside

Turn it into a beautiful warm Spring day

Have Teg Nuggent's --- Stranglehold cranked up -- and like be out in the middle of a field going crazy

Maybe even have a wireless electric guitar to play when the best parts come on ..... and stretch it out a really long time.

So that's what I would do

Thanks for askin'

The beauty of the Lilly Pad

Many times -- especially after 3 to 6 months of sustained Gains it's not too difficult to make a brief adjustment for the Better.

G Fund is the only one 'guaranteed' to never lose and in the preceeding months I still have my gains.

The most beautiful part is when the Markets do make a considerable drop and you avoid the losses by being in Safety.

 

[Steadygain]

The individual States -- of the United States -- are being forced to deal with Budgets that adversely impact on a variety of people. Unions are losing their collective clout and programs for the elderly are fading.

Japan's problems will eventually fade - but Markets dove almost immediately after the event.

Oil Prices are going up -- and nothing could be a better motivator for WAR than high gas prices. Plus they're asking for the US to intervene.

In various ways it would seem the screws are being tightened.

I would argue that with recent inflation pressure, the G Fund is a guaranteed looser. Unfortunately for me, I lost my sticky pants a couple days ago, so G Fund is where I sit until I find them again.

For the overall 'picture' -- the G Fund would never be adequate enough to provide a comfortable retirement for the years to come.

During the Intermission - there is no better place.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ahhhhhhhhh :cheesy: I say after taking a refreshing sip of lemonade.

Japan's Markets are down over 10% and yes my friends this is most certainly a global economy.

That's why at times like these there is absolutely nothing like the Lilly Pad. It's not a place to make Money -- it's a place to hold on to what you have and know there is no chance of loss.

So when it comes to TSP Investments -- on 12/1 I'm all the way in for 3 months -- but when 3/11 set in - it was time for a rest. After all too much excitement can get to be too much for an old guy like me.

***********************************************
BTW - My comments are identical to cheering a Rally when you're IN so please know that - in reverse you celebrate holding gains you've made.

*************************

Well on to other NEWS -- I've decided to give myself a 12% pay increase starting immediately. I call it integrity, honor, comittment and I'd rather be known by these virtues than anything else.

My wife talked to some lawyers and went over all the details. I wholly believed I was giving her more than enough to live stress free and be able to keep and maintain all she has known over the years. Turns out she will barely get by and will be forced to work. Well I 'refuse to ever put her through that' - and at this moment we are too close to allowing her to have everything I planned for her to have.

So I'll give myself a 12% increase to make things right.

if you got some extra time on your hands (and i hope you don't that could be bad for all of us) could you please create an autotracker where i can input my trades retroactive 4 days ago?

i think i could do real good in that system.

Burrocrat,
I'm not sure how to take your comments but please know that I don't mean to offend you or anyone else.

I believe TSP investments should be celebrated by being in Safety when the Markets are plunging and Japan goes down 10%. To me that is EQUAL to being in high risk when the Markets are soaring. Both of these are equally wonderful experiences.

I guess I have to regard comments like this as an attack on my character. I would say it sounds similar to repeatedly calling Blue an immaginary person and openly referring to her as a 'bitch'.

If you believe I am doing anything to dishonor you - or your friends - I am NOT doing that Burrocrat. I am doing just the opposite and if you read the lengths by which I have been pouring my heart and life out -- you will see I deeply value the ones you feel you need to protect.

I hope you find the deepest happiness - I really do.

I don't believe your comments were offensive at all. I've said the same thing on my thread
just recently. "Sometimes, it's better to miss a drop then it is to catch the rise." Only I didn't
listen to my own thoughts and jumped in at the wrong time. Now, I bail to the (G)arage and
hope for the market to go lower. Not because I want to see those still in lose money ! Its
because I'm selfish and want a better opportunity for myself. No different then anyone else !
Congratulations on missing this fiasco and I'll be watching when you jump back in.

Thanks my dear priceless little brother.

I've been under a lot of fire lately - and doing what I can to make peace and do right by everyone - which is a never ending battle.

Fortunately, I'm no longer responding with hostility and aggression and striving to respect everyone with a deeper sense of genuineness and hoping that compassion will win out in the long run.

There are very huge things going on in my life Squale and after 28 years of marriage and having the most outstanding daughters raised and on their own -- I'm ready to finally live for 'me' and find the happiness and fulfillment and contentment I believe LIFE was meant to offer.

Although in many ways I have lacked the things I deeply long to know and enjoy -- my wife is who she is and has done the best she could and for what she has done and for who she has been I am going to do everything possible to HONOR her - for my children's sake, for the sake of my (and her) extended family and for my wife herself. I promised her I would NEVER force her to have to fend for herself and I will NOT FAIL to carry through with the Integrity, Honor, and Comittment everyone expects of me and that I expect of myself.

When I found last night - I missed the MARK - that was far bigger than the outpouring of generosity I've openly been stressing would more than carry her though. But I am so close to making the MARK that I'll immediately increase my pay by 12% -- that will leave the 4% matching.

Thanks for being there for me Squale. I've done a lot of driving over the past 5 days going across the country to secure what I hope will be a new job and the new start I've been longing for. My wife has been essentially worshipped by my family over the years and making my decisions known to them was emotional -- let alone being with my mother.

In almost everyway I could be misunderstood - lately - I have been; but it's a phase that's bound to pass. I know who I am; where my heart is and how I live my life. I know in all things - and in everything - I will shine through not because of who I am but because of who I most centrally live for and who is really in control.

I love you a lot - Squale - thank you.

Everytime I read your posts, I feel cheated. Like I have somehow missed out. You're the most generous, kindest person I have ever had the priviledge of meeting and I am jealous of everyone else that has known you both personally and as a member of this MB. I hope that someday you can call me FRIEND.
