Whipsaw's Account Talk

[Whipsaw]

Back from travel, always a challenge to keeping tabs on markets when on the road; best to sit in the G fund methinks. Interesting times, getting a handle on trends, charting etc. Thought the EU issues and bank routs would lead to more downside today... Maybe the small band deregulation is in the mix.

 

[Whipsaw]

This is pretty much in line with CH and DBA wrt the S-Fund, I think primarily due to the domestic economy heating up and small businesses making headway...

The moment I've been waiting for! Didn't know what would bring it, I doubt we'll get back to the previous lows... but I'll be taking a bite.

 

[Whipsaw]

IFT 50% S COB. If we go lower, will throw in some more. Not much of a dip, but a dip none the less.

 

[Whipsaw]

The market seemed to shrug off the rate increases, an isn't even selling off that hard with this tariff play. The economy could just be that strong. Have a great weekend everyone.

Friday turned out to be no dip. At any rate, still have some dry powder.

 

[Whipsaw]

Futures are down quite a bit. Did the Chinese not get Friday's tariff news until last night? Hmmmmmm... Futures were off on Friday and the markets ended up flat. Will have to see what happens this time.

 

[Whipsaw]

Throwing the rest in. 100% S COB.

 

[Whipsaw]

So by the time my IFT gets made, all the dip will be bought up, again! Maybe this will be a high base with mucho upside. :notrust:

 

[Cactus]

I hope so. With the dips getting bought like this, it definitely looks like a time when you don't want to be out of the market trying to time an entry.

I see you jumped in again and again Whipsaw. Wishing you the best on this one. I am staying on the sidelines for the time being. Been on the road traveling (leisure), and am currently in upstate Minnesota. Gonna ride this one out until I get home as this is part of my strategy to be in the G fund when I am away. I may miss some gains, but there will always be another dip to buy. Good luck!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

That's a good call RF! Worrying about the market will pour cold water on your vacation. Enjoy your road trip! My step in may be short lived, we'll see... but for the time being...

Futures are UP!

hmmmmmmm....:1244:

 

[Whipsaw]

Yeah, hmmmmmmmmm... :1244: Where'd the dip buyers go? :worried:

 

[Cactus]

Looks like they are showing up now. Hope it continues into the close. :suspicious:

 

[nnuut]

The AGG (F Fund) is the tell, inversely!

 

[Whipsaw]

Well, my last move wasn't so hot. I've been watching several analysis videos trying to get back into the swing of things. Grock has sell signals on daily, weekly and monthly charts for the S&P. Slim saying down for the next week if not two. Covaccio saying this is volatility to ignore, mostly for the buy and holders. Right Side of the Chart looking for continued 'rips and dips,' with a leg down, followed by another leg up, then down.. Right now I'm on the wrong side with futures in the red this morning. The elephant dance continues over tariffs, adding a level of unpredictability to the volatility. Considering a step aside, but that would be at the risk of getting whipsawed (did somebody say... ), will likely exit on the next leg up and see if the tariff talk, and the market, settles out any.
