I sure am envious of those of you who have some ammunition left (money in the G fund). It is mornings like this that make me want to be a buyer. But I'm out of bullets. I always seem to come to the party a little early. If I had G fund money to play with, I wouldconsider puttingat least some of it to work at this point.

At least the bonds had a good day PR.

I'm wanting to move all my money into hiding REAL bad right now, and Tom, you're wishing you had more in the G fund to move into stocks? Aren't you afraid it's going to keep spiraling down until there's (gulp) nothing left? You must have nerves of steel! :dude:

I doubt the Dow is going to zero

I may be getting a bit too aggressive but the more fear I see out there, the more I want to be in stocks. It's never easy to buy when things look like the way they do now.

I noticed the smart money indicatormade an upward turnlast week. You can't always read into the short term moves too much, but usually when the market goes down and the smart money index goes up (or vice versa), a change is not too far behind.

When I saw the futures this morning, Japan and China down over 350 pts I thought to myself perfect time to get in before 6 am to be effective Tuesday am...I'm sure it would have worked, but, I would have needed to get through Wednesday as well....I am predicting a Rally Tuesday.....however, I will stand clear at this time....RISK/REWARD factor is below my limits....easier times to make money



Good Luck

Wilshire 4500 did a face plant after an early rally...

Not sure what is up with that. Bond yields are down this morning. I thought the small caps would like that.

This is from a great site that updates what is going on in the market every 30 minutes. No clue about the Wilshire 4500 though......





13:30 ET
Dow +54, Nasdaq -7, S&P +0.91


[BRIEFING.COM]The major averages are continuing to trend lower, with the Nasdaq showing mild losses, the S&P 500 relatively flat, and the Dow sportingmoderate gains... The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 have pulled below their 50-day simple moving averages at 1972 and 1117, respectively... The indices' inabilityto stabilize above these technically-significant levels would beviewed as unfavorable by technical analysts... Many a rally effort have fizzled over the past couple of weeks, as buyers have remained a hesitant bunch... The same is true today, as participants are apprehensive to commit new funds ahead of the long Memorial Day Weekend, particularly on the heels of yesterday's heightened terrorism talk... ..NYSE Adv/Dec 1930/1287. ..NASDAQ Adv/Dec 1358/1664.

All the Futures are down at the moment, S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, hope we have a good day. Currently at 60C and 40S.

Yeah, I see stocks on a downward spiral. I waited until today(yesterday before 12pm cut-off) to get out of I; only commited 33% to C and 33% to S. I'm not leaving G empty. This downward stock trend for today bears watching. Maybe setting the stage for a big rally Tuesday when everything reopens.

I actual welcome a down day or two. Nothing drastic, just alittle waffling aroundon the downside like today. No real damage but enoughto help those overbought indicators come back to normal levels.

I think I am going to stay put with 35% C, 65% S. I like the action today. If we had jumped up out of the gate this morning I may have thought differently. Today's nervous long weekend selling is a good thing I believe.

Next week historically shapes up pretty good. Like I've been saying, my new attitude is to error on the side of being too bullish. If there's no trouble this weekend it shouldbring Friday's sellers back into stocks Tuesday.

After yesterday, I was wondering if the C fund was going to start taking the lead again and outperform the small caps S fund. But today the small caps are doing slightly better.

eeeeeeeeeSSSSSSSSS!

Yes, my stronger small caps are doing better than the NASDAQ average this week and today.

That confused me a little when C (seemed out of nowhere) to do better than S fund... I was thinking this year the S had been doing better.... care to expand on this?

I wasn't home to make a move today... have none in 'G'.
