weatherweenie's account talk

[weatherweenie]

Going to 50-50 C-I. Not sure that we're in an interest rate environment that will favor small caps. Hopin for a bounce later today, that carries over to tomorrow.

 

[weatherweenie]

Well, I was kickin myself this time yesterday for staying in, now I'm thankin God that I did stay in.

A couple weeks ago, I booked a percent loss, got out thinkin it was 'the big one' we've been waiting for.

Stayed on the sidelines as we retraced that one day loss.

Now, for a 3 day weekend.

Was going to go to the F fund for Friday, but decided to let it ride.

 

[weatherweenie]

Gonna take what I hope end up being nice profits through today. Going to the F fund based on the following: '
Paraphrase sentimentrader.com:
A gap open higher than yesterday's high and more than 0.5% above yesterday's close is very unusual for an expiration Friday and it usually hasn't paid to chase the gap. Of the 8 times it's happened in the past decade, the S&P was lower by Monday's close 6 times.'

Back from doing Ride The Rockies, a 400+ mile bike ride through the Colorado mountains.

Still parked in the F fund. Looks like it was an ok place to be over the last week.

Haven't had a chance to look at anything since my return, so I'll plan to stand pat for now.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC

Ya know, I was gone all last week, riding a bike through the mountains of Colorado.

At the time, I was so wrapped up in surviving the ride, I hadn't trained enough and had only planned to play the role of sherpa, that I didn't appreciate how great it was to get away from it all.

Since being back, I've heard about a man in Ohio who killed his wife and kids, how a pregnant mother was killed, how some nutjob with tatoos all over his face killed a guard, how Chris Benoit killed his wife and 7yr old son, then a day or two later killed himself, and today on CNN saw video of a motorist that was just sprayed with pepper spray pull a gun out and kill the officer that sprayed him.

WHAT IN THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS IS GOING ON?!

It brings to mind the U2 lyrics: I can't believe the news today, I can't close my eyes and make it go away.

Was going to go 30-30-40 c-s-i, but have decided to go 50-25-25 c-s-i instead.

IF the market pops this afternoon, we would probably end up with a +FV in the I, which wouldn't be ideal to buy into.

IF things selloff, having more in the C 'might' cushion the blow.

Hmm,
I'm thinking about the C fund, but for totally different reasons apparently. I'm hearing a lot about small caps popping today and there's a good chance of a +FV today which would make it a good day to sell the I fund before the FV correction tomorrow. I was thinking that if S and I explode today, it will spill over into C for tomorrow. But you're also right about the buffer, so C is looking pretty attractive.

C is closin the gap for now.

Enough pussy footing around. Lets rally into the close!

Someone got it stuck in reverse. Might not be too pretty tomorrow.

Heading to G for Friday.

 

[weatherweenie]

A little concerned about a +FV correction, and a rebound in the dollar. Instead of going 100% I, I'm going 60% C and 40% I.

 

[weatherweenie]

Hopefully this will end up in my taking profit today. Going 60% G, leaving 40% I, just in case.

I'm leaning this way, as well, right now. And I need to make my decision a little early today, too.

I had to make my move early too.

Not liking the sp500 getting to 1530 and retreating. Still lots of trading day left though.
