chirp. I know, that's what scares me, we are in debt up to our eyeballs.:worried: Someday we will have to pay, right now as it is Japan, China, and all our usual foreign investors aren't interested in buying more BushBonds...er sorry too partisan, Government bonds.

You got it my friend :mad:

Eventually the Mask is going to fall and with it our economy - but it is highly doubtly it will go less than 20% - so ONE MORE GOOD DIVE is probably all we really need to let the dust settle and start raking in the bucks.:laugh::cool:

Bottom Line: I'm staying 100% G in anticapation that a further rate cut by the FED will now be seen as SELL THE NEWS - evidence we are in a desperate situation.​


Am still longing to see the Markets plunge for ONE LAST GOOD BUYING OPPORTUNITY - OR THE BEST OPPORTUNITY.​

Well the Markets went straight down on the 0.25% Cut and of course the FED has no other choice but to say "we are running out of ammo".

So will hope for a sizeable drop hopefully by the end of next week.

Good night to all and GL in the ITFs.

Not really a very steep or deep dive Steady, a stretch of the reality..More of a slant to the right with a slight down kline...Stage set for a nice big up tomorrow...Says the Magic 8 Ball.;)

Acid was something I didn't get into very much; mainly just smoked a lot of pot. But undoubtedly if anyone took acid and listened to Jimi Hendrix they came to find his music on a level that could not otherwise have been achieved.

It's funny because LSD is now coming to the forefront of future psychiatric medication (as he had planned all along) and only now are we honestly begining to see the real therapeutic benefit.

The gain TODAY was very much expected - the problem is we are all in the same boat (2 ITFs - a month) so for me it is not worth the effort for a ONE DAY gain.

Most of us seem on the same page regarding what to expect for the remainder of the month - so now I believe our projections are far superior - and honestly I like it better this way.

Many are moving to F Fund - which is still high - but if the dive I speak of is really comming into play - I think that is a very good short term move.

The dive you speak of could come as early as tomarrow and might be
based on the Economic Reports due out. But if unemployment squeeks
out a better then expected number, it could open the flood gates of
buyers. But alas, we who have two moves per month are gonna have
to get use to missing some up days or go balls to the wall with risk.

Amen to that brother, but in the end it will make us much better players and in all liklihood give us even better gains.

If we are able to accurately interpret all the data - get a really good feel for where the Markets are at and where they are going (which I personally believe we are jointly doing) then we'll stay in F Fund and the Markets a little longer and beat the occasional one day gains.

Paladin gives an excellent example - by getting out of the Markets on a very good day. The key here is being able to exit by COB to maximize the gains and lock them in. Now all of us should be playing the instant ITF which will make the MB a whole lot better. Of course by the 2 ITFs a month I know this in #1 for him - but I see today as part of the April investment (which is already 7.5%) - in otherwords to me the main thing is how long we stayed in to get the end result (which for him exceeds 8%)
 
At this point is makes no difference to me where the Markets are.

I am "sitting in the boat" so to speak - by remaining in G.

If, and when what I perceive as a "good opportunity" arrives then I'll go fully in the Markets and ride it out for awhile.

My general view of things is that "a recession" has been avoided and that the "powers in charge" want to go forward with better stablility - so I see things as being slow for awhile - and that's fine with me. I'd rather sit on the side lines and be at peace then jump in and get apprehensive.

Anyway that's my 2 cents.
 
Charts are very hard to dismiss (or avoid)

S&P 500 - 2 Month Chart is very good - upward momentum is consistent

It would certainly appear that the worse is over and those who remain on the side lines will wonder why they waited

Yesterday's loss is totally insignificant in light of the 2 month gain. In fact it is way better to have consolidation and slow steady growth; so yesterday way more tells me it's time to get back in.
 
My dear friends (family),

I know that many of you are mourning over my loss.

But I am here to tell you that as long as I remain in the boat I will not lose anything. Of course we know the C Fund has taken a tragic turn for the worse over the past 6 months and days like today you hear nothing but the worse of news. Well these things no longer concern me. When the C Fund settles into a deeper state of rest IT IS A HEALTHY THING - NOT A BAD THING. On the whole we have no reason to not believe that the corporations that form the S&P 500 will not prevail and that a dip like today will not be countered by an even greater gain in the near future. Again the 2 month trend has an undeniable GAIN - and so it appears to be recovering.

So for now - rest assure I am not troubled in the least - and a dip at this point will likely follow with something better. So despite the arguments that Birch and many others may present - for me this is a time to stay in.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ! !

I am confused, I thought you were 100% G as of the 7th. (?)

I made it clear to everyone on Post 905 that I felt it was time to get back in the game.

Of course my ITF reflects it as well - but I'm pretty sure it was on Birchtree's Thread it was mentioned "it's 100% C Fund".

Maybe everyone can follow my lead - whenever you go 100% C Fund - let Birch know as kind of a tribute to him.

A wonderful weekend to all :cheesy:

My Message here was 5/8 - when I went 100% C Fund

Again Friday's loss and Today' Gain don't mean much in terms of TSP Gains - but it means a whole lot in that the 2 month gaining Trend in the C Fund remains active and further supports Future Gains.
