Whipsaw's Account Talk

[pmaloney]

Really interesting Jim Cramer Tweets this afternoon. He is watching VIX products going down followed by Margin calls which bring the market up. He says the next one at 2:45 could be big.​

Closing in the green! There's hope! :arms: Support held! :fest30: Drinks for all my friends! :beerchug: Have a great weekend everyone! :headbang:

Futures are UP! I don't think we're out of the woods yet, but holding on has paid off so far... What is amazing is I'm over 13% for the past 12 mo. according to the TSP.gov site. Will be nice when I'm positive for the year again on the AT! The CovaccioCapital video indicates there is still much strength and little to indicate that the market is close to rolling over, right now anyway, that could change of course.

First time visiting this thread. I've seen several references to Grok. What is Grok?

Grok Trade is a market investing training and mentorship company, D7 produces weekly videos discussing market action and even puts out buy and sell calls based on his analysis. Nnuut posts them in the Market Video area, though you can find them on youtube.

As usual the nay sayers are predicting another huge pullback is yet to come. Counter that with an equal number of folks suggesting that if you are already in the market, do not sell, but to ride it out. Bottom line; nobody knows what the market will do, so if you've got the cohunes to ride it out, then ride it out. If it helps you to sleep better by running to safety, then do it.

Last week was tough on all of us and I managed to fight the urge to bail. With that said, I like today's action. Thinking to reduce exposure later in the week as I dig out of this hole, but for now I remain 100% C Fund.

I have an endless supply of sticky pants.

I have more than enough things that keep me awake at night besides my TSP Account.

Sticky Pants for all my friends! :chairfall:

 

[Cactus]

Hmmm, that looks like me falling off the chair. Nah, can't be. I didn't land on the floor. I fell through it and kept going. I'm coming up though. Hopfully I'll get back up to zero (floor level) someday. :1244:

We may have to add a double dose of duct tape if we have more weeks like last week!

 

[Cactus]

Nah, duct tape isn't up to the job these days. That's why now I use Gorilla tape.

We've gone decidedly green... lets see if it follows through to the close...

Hold on to your Assets! CPI came in big and futures just fell like a rock down a full 1.5%

[Whipsaw]

Not down too badly at the open, maybe we'll climb out.

 

[Whipsaw]

Based on some of those technical analysis vids, we're at the 50% retracement point and hitting resistance, do we power through?

 

[nnuut]

I think the 50 Day Moving Average is in the way! Right now we are trying to get through the 100 MA in the "S" Fund, the "C" is over it..

 

[Whipsaw]

SAHWWEEEEET!! Rally to the close! In the immortal words of Jim Morrison "Break on through to the other side!" And FINALLY! The S-Fund is out pacing the C-Fund, today anyway...

Yeah Whipsaw, depending on how the I fund plays out this evening, you may have just caught me.:nuts: Another day or two like this and we could be back in black. Patience is definitely paying off...

So I'm totally committed to the "S" fund but it was lagging behind the "C & I" funds most of last year and the beginning of this year. So I make my first IFT in about a year and go 40-30-30 "CSI" and boooom the "S" starts to out perform "C". But as long as the funds are green I really can't complain.
