Steadygain's Account Talk

[Steadygain]

Steadygain,

My wife fully understands .

She is totally content

and has left that decision totally up to me

Then you are in GREAT SHAPE and in an Ideal Situation. At this point it's not worth even thinking about short term gains; I would say the best you can do is leave things alone and ride it out.

Not knowing your situation - I did not want any strains reflected from me; and your comments made me realize that MY WIFE would be more at ease by moving to safety. So thank you!

Steady,

Heard from another thread you pulled out of the market. Sorry to hear that...I know you rode it down,:blink: Hope is not lost, but I am waiting on the election to pass. I need that last kick to show me it is ready to engage for the long haul.

Peace Brother, you have 45 minutes to change your mind, but I think it's made up.

Frixxxx

Well first - thanks for coming here for the REAL SCOOP....cause ya know the other Threads may just be spreading rumors

Please know - there is nothing to be sorry about. Had I kept everything in G Fund over the years I still would have less than I have now. I rode the bulk of it down because POLITICS distorted the "real picture" and so I viewed it as a trivial correction. Instead it was a BEAR and it's water under the bridge.

I now believe it will be referred to as a RECESSION - and that things are presently about as bad as they can get. Mega banks will emerge and huge changes will take place (and huge changes have already taken place).

Please don't feel for me my kind hearted man of faith. This is the first time my heart kind of stings when I look at all I have. I have no outstanding bills, no debt other than the house, and if anything happens to me my life insurance will more than cover my family for the duration of their lives; let alone my house and other assets.

BOTTOMLINE: I'm not losing anything; I'm gaining peace and trust for the next year and giving 'peace of mind' during times of strain and uncertainity - so I'm very content with my decision.

You're a better man than me. I got out in August and it would have been easier to swallow a potato whole than my pride.....

P.S. I'll let you know when I'm going in, unless you tell me jump on sooner!!!

Hey Steady,

If you didn't notice on the tracker, I bailed and went to the harbor. I didn't realize how much stress this was causing in my life until you had brought it to my attention. I kept hearing people say" if you sell, you will lock in losses" and is true to a certain extent. But I figure I can make up losses on my terms and not be at the mercy of the market. I have peace once again and just want to say thanks.

This actually got my eyes to tear up.

Thank you man, I love you and honestly hope the very best for you and your family.

I don't look at the Auto Tracker and won't bother looking for at least another year. Despite the persistent hopes of a BULL - there is no way that's going to happen for quite some time.

My losses have been substantial - but I am at peace and having peace is a wonderful blessing. We took our hits but now are totally immune to the strains and falls.

Quote of the Week​

http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showpost.php?p=190071&postcount=5​

I love and honor my mother and the line of maternal heritage that has made me who I am in this country in this time in history. I also love and acknowledge the positive traits from my father and the paternal heritage I have received. I just think that's beautiful and is so in touch with how many of us feel.

I have always voted in every election for one reason only.
Note it's not because she's this or that {hugs - and more hugs}

I was taught by both my parents that it was my duty as a citizen of this country to participate in the process since that is the only peaceful way I can influence change. Amen!!

I have always thought that my vote counts even if the system is stacked against the outcome. My participation in the process allows for the possible peaceful change (and improvement) of the system. This is why I vote. Its my non-violent expression of my duty as a citizen. And now I have a valid reason to love and admire you.

Schools have been spotty at best in the US history and Civics courses which has left a large and growing number of 'citizens' mentally disenfranchised with the system. Calling a spade a spade.

This grand experiment of human govenance will only succeed and continue due to the participation of the majority of the citizentry. More education needs to be done on the benefits of citizenship in the USA as opposed to other systems and on how peaceful change is initiated in this system.
Obviously GENIUS intelligence. Read it 3 or 4 times and it sinks in

So express your citizenship and vote for peaceful change or join the mob for violent change. I will be on the lookout with my shootgun and dog for those who pick the later :toung:. (A Girl and Her Dog - lets see how that movie ends! )

Despite incredible intelligence and very amazingly deep and wonderful insights - she has the perfect ending.

Good Job Malyla !! This was truely a gem.

Why thankyou Steady. I was in the zone

Good Morning my wonderful family!

Well somehow being on "the Lilly Pad" - as we've come to call it has its comfort and security; but for someone LIKE ME who already lost out by a significant margin it honestly makes little difference.

If we fall by another 20 or 30% - then I'll be that much ahead of the game; as when a real bottom is reached and the Market struggles have finally ended and all the bad news is a thing of the past - then a sign of a "real bottom" will be acknowledged.

Instead of smelling "rocket fuel" - I think we are smelling jet fuel and the twin tower has not even crashed yet; or is just starting to take that "Big Crash" and most of what we've seen was just the initial impact. But it no longer matters. You can resign to the Markets by staying fully invested and hope for the best; or go to the Lilly Pad and be spared from further pain.

GL to everyone - it's a long ride ahead so stay where you are most comfortable and ignore what anyone else is doing.

Good morning my sweet wonderful Steady,
You can either let the Markets and the whole Political ordeal take you for a roller coaster ride that wreaks havoc on your emotions and leaves you feeling helpless and empty or you can come and experience my magic.

As a woman I am deeply sensitive and will give you the understanding you long to find. I am more in tune with the qualities that make you special and no one is more qualified to compliment those qualities and bring them to life and make them stronger. So whatever your needs - you know there is nothing beyond what I gladly offer. All I ask is that you really come to respect me and admire me for who and what I am; help bring me to life and I will make your life a million times greater.

....hmm.....I'm just drifting....way more in the mood to drift than deal with anything else...

Steady,

I see you are closing in on Birchtree on the tracker. I imagine you will jump him soon. When that occurs, you better get back into stocks b/c if you miss a good rally you will never hear the end of it!

Seriously, the main concerns I have is the next two weeks. Once we get through this week, we have an extremely treacherous week of Nov 3rd. All kinds of economic data.

If somehow we manage a rally this week, I will sell into it and hope we tank more next month then buy.

Steady,

Well beating a Buy and Holder of the C and I Funds is NO GREAT accomplishment.

I imagine you will jump him soon. When that occurs, you better get back into stocks b/c if you miss a good rally you will never hear the end of it!

I never hear the end anyway. If the Markets continue a significant decline then 'It's the super stocks he's picking up' so that down days are good days - and if the Markets would happen to jump - then of course 'The Bull has arrived'.

Seriously, the main concerns I have is the next two weeks. Once we get through this week, we have an extremely treacherous week of Nov 3rd. All kinds of economic data.

I think you're right on target. We can stay in and aimlessly ride to the bottom - with the value of our assets plumeting to nothing - or finally say I've had enough and not continue watching everything go down the drain. In my situation it all boils down to my wife and honestly has nothing to do with the Markets; it's about trust and honor.

If somehow we manage a rally this week, I will sell into it and hope we tank more next month then buy.

I bailed way too late in the game; which resulted indirectly by interchanging with WINDHUNTER - but have not regreted that decision at all. In fact today I see as a totally false hope for anyone thinking "the worse is over".

GL Corepuncher - you have more than proven yourself so far.

Thanks Steady that helps a lot. I've alway had a sense of guilt about being sent to Germany instead of going to Nam with my unit. Being a Medic and not being able to do anything for the ones who didn't make it still hurts.

Thanks Brother,

I love my country and all that it has provided this farm-boy from Ohio. I've made it so far with Uncle Sam's and tax-payer's support. I've seen the world, received my education, been given the wisdom of kings and queens, and have been able to send my two kids to school.

To me: My service can never be enough to repay my country for all it has given me!

Go Navy, Go Army, Go Marines, Go Coast Guard, Go Air Force, Go Civil Service. With a team like this, we should never fail!

Sincerely, and with much gratitude to those who came before me:

THANK YOU ALL!
