When we're out, we want in. When we're in, we want out.

I go by Whipsaw for a reason.

Shamelessly following FWM: IFT 25% C, 25% S, 50% I COB.

 

[Whipsaw]

Soooooo.... I've garnered ~2% for the month, if this holds today - going to the lily pad considering the recent unpleasantness abroad... But for that I would be going 50% C / 50% G to have some dry powder. This sideways action is really something.

 

[Whipsaw]

100% G COB

Tom, I was wondering if it would be possible to capture the end of day % gain/loss for a user and plot that on a chart? It would be interesting to compare to the TSP funds.

I could send you that data in a PM. I am assuming you want the daily return for yourself for each day of 2025?

There is also the AutoTracker page that follows your annual return each day.

Thanks, I can work with that!

 

[Whipsaw]

So, now I'm something less than 2% for this month...

 

[Whipsaw]

Of course, the market zigs when I'm looking for a zag! A quick gap closing dip would be nice right about now.

 

[Whipsaw]

Too late for a June IFT; looking for a little weakness that Coolhand talked about to jump back in. Worst case will look for a post-holiday reversal and then jump in for the melt up.

 

[Whipsaw]

Okay, Mr. Market, there is a gap to fill, now is as good a time as any!!

 

[Boghie]

You mean one of those 'weaknesses'

Man, those would be hard to catch - and, do they mean anything.

You gotta be in to win

 

[Whipsaw]

Overseas unpleasantness? Nope. Post-holiday reversal? Nope. Tarriff tantrum? Nope. Open gaps down below? Nope.... High base? Maybe...

 

[Whipsaw]

Holy melt up, Batman! May have to throw in the towel and jump in. FOMO... capitulation... I am my own contrarian indicator...

 

[Whipsaw]

IFT COB 60% S, 40% C. Going with the rising pennant pattern as a bullish continuation (Thanks Bquat for the charts!) Of course, now that I've capitulated, some black swan event is going to take the whole thing down. Fasten your seatbelts!

 

[Whipsaw]

Just when things were starting to look up for a longer run...

I asked our Magic 8-Ball if the market was going to pull back, it said 'Reply is hazy, try again,' three times in a row - so I stopped asking!
