Whipsaw's Account Talk

FYSA - the TSP site is very slow, I should have had enough time to put in an IFT once I logged in. After three or four page refreshes while making my way to the IFT page I was out of time.

Good to know.

I went into the TSP.gov site again today, the intent was to put a few more % into C & S with a Sep IFT and buy more on sale. Then I noticed my relative balance in the C&S had dropped 2% relative to G. Hmmmmmmmmm.... So, I figured my deposit went into the S fund today, that will be my DCA for the moment. I'm thinking the market may change tenor with the outcome of the midterms, being forward looking, that may happen sooner than later. Going to sit tight for now. Have a great weekend everyone! -.-

I'm still thinking the mid-terms may have an impact on a bottom, some are warning we'll follow Europe into a recession, that there is another 20% drop in the works; but the economy is not the market, right? Looking to add a few more % in the next week.

Appears there is strong support just under 3600 on SPX, both in the daily and weekly charts. Going to move in another 10%... I will be 50% exposed, but with a solid position at lower price levels. The doji is a little concerning... this noon cutoff :notrust:

25% C, 25% S, 50% G COB

No delays on tsp.gov today, though it is relatively early. I don't like this new set up. I found the old break out of fund balance and % helpful. Is there any way to export fund amounts by date anymore?

Can't you download the prices on this old page?

I’m with you to add more exposure. So much negative out there so just turn the media off and buckle your seatbelt. CPI data might not good enough to stop fed Nov 0.75 rate hike, but might trigger a relief rally…good luck you everyone!

The SPX weekly chart is similar, indicating it is at a low potential buy.

A good bit of strength off the pre-market weakness. Rethinking my strategy, not having considered this degree of climb off the lows... was intending to continue to increase position as the market continued to decline, now I may exit soon and re-enter lower (ala JTH). My concern in that approach is if my suspicion holds true that a change in leadership in the house and senate my continue to fuel market strength and we don't go much lower (i.e. the bottom is in).

 

[Whipsaw]

Hmmmmmm... maybe not so much. :scratchchin:

 

[Whipsaw]

Missed the exit, again. :notrust: Back to plan A, deploying more at the next low, won' be today for me. Interesting right now with the spinning tops since Thursday. One analyst said we could be going back into a range bound sideway channel for the next year or two, have a good handle on selling high and buying low (yeah, right? :nuts: ) will make money. As opposed to buy and hold, of course. :cheesy:

 

[Whipsaw]

Nice gain today, I'll take it, even if its only half. Does the post-holiday reversal apply to Veteran's Day?

 

[Whipsaw]

Why look a gift horse in the mouth, 100% G COB (I think, there's no way to see your pending IFT in the new website. :thumbsdown: And the transfer interface is the pits!)

There are multiple GUIs for IFTs. You can transfer by both dollars and percentage. A confusing element is that it keeps asking you to differentiate between paycheck contributions and current assets. Ugh...

But, if you use the percentage IFT it is basically the same interface as the good old days.

 

[Whipsaw]

I'll get the hang of the new site at some point. The old site was fairly straight forward, oh well. As for the IFT today, not sure if the post holiday reversal will materialize; the SPX chart shows allot of activity at this level, and I think resistance along with the previous intermediate top. It could go a little further up, looking for a drop to the lower end of the smaller uptrend channel. What do I know? I have another IFT to get back in - I wonder what the Santa Rally is gonna look like this year? Class dismissed!!! :147::headbang::ban: Wishing our Vets a good Veteran's Day! Thank you for your service and have a great long weekend!

I think I may have jumped at the right time, though not sure what earnings will bring - shouldn't be good all things considered... We'll see, won't we?
