Thanks, This is getting good. I'm Ok. I just started paying attention lately, after I found this site by accident. I hope I'm learning. Kind of shy, It takes me a good look and a thought, but I have deciced to become a little more aggressive, quicker.

Actually October isn't too bad historically. It just gets a bad rap because of the two major crashes (1929 and 1987). Take those two years out of the picture and things look even better.

Keep in mind, Sept. was up close to 4% this year......

Trend wise speaking there are six good months and six bad months... their begining and ends are adjusted by the MACD indicator... the Stocktraders almanac just trigger the begining of the best six months... they usually go from Halloween to April Fool... they had star as soon as September and ended as late as July... I profit from it... :^

Tom,

Change your S index to ^dwcpf on your link to yahoo on the front page. ^dwcp isn't reporting and ^dwcpf is. Also, TSP uses ^dwcpf anyway....see discussion in S-fund.

I would of made 4.55% for the month with the new system. Buy and hold for the S was 1.85%. Half the month went up, half went down. Just curious how others did. Pretty good indicator for all of 2004..............

Hi Mike. Just back. 5.51% for November alone so far. My system! I'm happy. Could have done better if I had played the I fund more. Yesterday was my biggest day loss of 3 days as I stupidy did not bring my computer when I left on Saturday. Then again, one has to have fun!You guys are great. I missed you all abeit just a 15 minute withdrawal!

Whoever told us told us to go to CNN.com and look at world markets has me doing just that. All the world markets were down arrows yesterday, so I went 30%; today they are all up and a good amount was made. Following my own advise, I stayed big time in S and dumped C for I. Did well; now retreating 70% to G to count my money. Never had this much in TSP!:^
