Steadygain's Account Talk

[Steadygain]

C'mon guys - if interest rates are remaining low for the next two years there is only one game in town and it's equities. Where else can you get income increases over time - dividends are getting toasty and word will get around. Money will soon begin to move out of bonds - remember the bond market is ten times larger than the NYSE. Now if Congress were to make dividends tax free - this economy will roll.

Birch, to the largest degree I believe your assessment is incredibly accurate. I am in 100% - and have been 100% for quite awhile mainly based on the huge lack of returns from any other investment option. My history on this Site has largely shown that those who put everything in G Fund - are the very ones who miss the Huge Returns. So I'm buying more shares at a cheaper price but when everyone else is tip toeing back in the Markets - I'll more than have my reward by staying in.

In times like these however - I do have to consider the advantages of a Timing System that lets you reap in the Gains and spare the losses. Such a System that has proven itself over many years will get my attention and this one has preserved the gains of the past. Ideally it would be better to laugh at these corrections -- showing everyone your in F Fund when needed. So down the line I may consider something like this after I retire -- but I'm good for the next 7 years and on the whole the Markets are bound to go UP - and do well in the long run.

I think Congress gets way too much attention - especially in the sense of thinking they honestly have the capacity to seriously turn things around; or even make a dent in the wide spread and deepening problems that have grown over the past 30+ years. The economy would roll a lot further if they made the Corporations and Industries stronger by increasing the American workforce. At this point the Corporations and Industries have not only found that Foreign Soil offers a far greater incentive - but all the more their greatest strength today is found in Foreign Workers booming their business. That is perhaps the greatest shift underway today. The last thing we need is some quick fix - for guys like me and you that are already set for life. What we need is to stop the waste; give the Corporations and Industries way more incentive to be more exclusively USA and drive the popluation to earn a living.

Stocks are doing fine; they are, as you say, the only game in town. Current increases in stock purchases are not leading to a growing economy, so I don't see how making dividends tax free will make the economy roll. It will just make the value of stocks go up faster. Now, if we could do something about payroll taxes....

Well there are few things I like better than the sounds of birds chirping and filling the air with delightful sounds.

Making the value of stocks go UP is a good thing -- and giving perks to the workforce (as you suggest) is even better. The drive behind this would have to be geared towards growing the workforce - otherwise the gulf between the rich and the poor would get worse. The more we fill that gap - the more the economy grows and the stronger and better the USA will be.

That's ultimately what brought me to this Site. Gosh, who would have ever thought there was the remotest chance that I would not only find the most perfect woman to ever live - but all the more that we now share a home with the most beautiful atmostphere and she does more for me than everything else (good and wonderful) put together.

I like this particular Timing System largely because it removes the sense of loyality I've inevitiably developed with Uptread, Coolhand and all the others who brought their systems - although I think the S.S. has been very amazing and Coolhand has not only kept it 'free' but added to it. In my particular case - the more I remained loyal to one system the more it messed me up.

This one is also great because they don't bounce around week after week. It's more a long term system that only makes occasional moves - and on the whole that's how I feel investments should be handled.

It's only in the 'rare moment' like today - when I look back and think 'What if' - I'd put everything in F on 7/12...:cheesy:

I guess it would make me celebrate and feel pretty victorious - more so than right now at least.

Well if you - or anyone else - use it I really hope it does ya good.

Later man, thanks for stoppin by.

'Blue' and I were married today!!! Life is absolutely wonderful and we are genuinely finding blessings upon blessings and enjoying the deepest and most lasting happiness we ever thought could be possible.

Birch - this is our first time on in months and we mainly wanted to touch with a few that will forever be close to our hearts and lives. We are going to our property this coming weekend - for a full week to work on the 10 acres. The leaves are supposed to be at peak beauty and we are about 1 hour from Cashiers. Would love for you to meet the Mrs. if you are near.

Buster - You are one of the most Rock Solid friends we've ever known. We could never say enough about how true you are and what a great person you have been in many ways and consistently throughout the years. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we love you a lot.

Steady and Blue
