Swamp Dog's Account Talk

[swamp dog]

I'm hoping to catch a bounce here like we had a few times in Jan. I don't know anything about the market, just what I read from everyone on here which has led to a decent return thus far. Moving from S to I today since it seems to be dropping the most and will hopefully recover over by Monday.
COB Today: 100% I

That's the same logic I've been going with lately too.

Good luck, swamp dog. That's the same logic my monkey uses. He's very angry with me for ignoring him.

Well it doesn't look like the I is going to do much today, but I am counting on it paying out more than a penny on monday so no change to the G for today.

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

Not a bad week overall, picked up 1.36% and hopefully with the poor showing for I on friday it will pick up a nice gain on monday. Although seeing the S&P drop along with the S fund drop so significantly I kinda wonder if it would have been wiser to jump part way into them also and have a 3 way split. I just like moving 100% cause its easier for me to track gains and losses then trying to figure out the percentages when its all split

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

Yeah, imagine people walking around advertising this site like a walking billboard. I'd like one of them jerseys. Tom should open up a store on this site so he can start selling stuff like this.

I am 50s 50i, and will have a difficult time making moves early this week due to being out of pocket.

Do you think I should go 100G before noon (before I leave the house Monday and get on the road)?

I'm a River Rat.

Thanks

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

GA,
well I wish I could give advice on what to do, but I chalk my return up to pure luck right now. I just look at what the market is doing right before noon and make a decision off of that to buy what is going down and sell if I am holding what is going up. Just playing the ups and downs, it has hurt me in the past with either selling to early or buying to early but that is my strategy and I try and stick with it.

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

Well it is looking like "I" will have a negative day today along with everything else except for G, and possibly the F. Guess I should have jumped on the penny wagon at COB friday. Any thoughts for "I" tomorrow, or I am thinking of trying to play another market bounce and get into the S since from friday and today it looks to be down a solid 1%. Any advice is welcome

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

Still sticking with my "I" fund, after last weeks losses and yesterdays I figure it still has room for growth. Maybe once it goes up about 1% I will check into the C or S, but for now the "I" is the way for me.

Strike this comment, looks like the afternoon is bringing the S down and the I continues to go up. I'm switching to 100%S COB today and hopefully the "I" will have a stellar day today and S will tomorrow. We shall see

Re: Swamp Dog Account Talk

With the Noon restriction we have over our heads. I have to agree with your assessment. The S is trending down and the I is holding well. I like your guess of the S doing better tomorrow. Right now I'm just too b'scared of the feds comments looming tomorrow. I wish you luck on the S tomorrow. You may be right.
