Whipsaw's Account Talk

Sort by newest Sort by date
Futures are up! :D Glad to be on the right side of a trade finally. So, we're chasing? Could it be 'they' want our funds available in the G and are trying to scare us out of equities? Agreed, this bull run can't go on forever; I'm w/Bquat, eyes wide open for any weakness/break in the trend line (thanks MJR). In the meantime, enjoy the holiday cheer! Merry Christmas everybody! :)
 
Rebalanced the account, moved 25% over to the S Train as it is performing better. Planning to stay fully invested through the New Year, watch for any weakness and potentially move some out and then back in... over 12% for the year for me :) Can't be dissapointed considering my past performance. Staying tuned in is certainly key, all of the smart folks on this board are a blessing!

Wishing each and everyone one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Looking forward to some good gains in the year ahead :D
 
Enjoying the seasonal posts and Christmas spirit! I have to remember when I am out on leave that the market is still in gear :blink: Good to see it is still climbing :) Possible weakness next week? And then there is that microssilator chart! The Hindenburg omens were bad enough... :suspicious:
 
Moved allocation to 25% C, 25% S, 50% G COB today. Hoping for a continued climb in seasonality, while expecting weakness in January it may be here sooner than expected; also at the tops of the Bollinger Bands, overbought, dumb money bullish... This is also in the Auto-Tracker for 2014! See you there :cheesy: Happy New Year everyone! :cool: I'm off to replace the water pump in the Explorer... :nuts:
 
Happy New Year everyone! Hope all are safe and sound and primed for a new year of TSP strategizing :)... Buy American!
Went to Dillard's yesterday for their New Year's Day sale, found Cremieux neck ties MADE IN USA! Picked up five, and a some Made in USA socks as well. Sad to say I was suprised to see them, need more domestic manufacturing; buy local, Made in USA at every opportunity (returned a Dwalt bit set and Kobalt clamps both made in china and bought Sylvania 60 watt incadescent bulbs Made in USA.) Takes a little time and effort, I think its making a difference that folks are paying attention to where products are made.
 
Futures are up this morning, possibly on the confirmation of the new Fed Chair. S&P500 Approaching the center of the larger upward channel in Tom's Market Commentary. Holding position, though this might be an opportunity to increase exposure, would like to see the market make a decision on continued bullishness or change of character.

Yes. The confirmation of Yellen is a good reason why the stocks are up today. Fairly certain of this.
 
Watching the melt up. JTH's hourly looks like a bull flag... holding at 50% exposure, expect continued rise to the top of the new up channel, then move to G for the next low. Thoughts?
 
The melt up has turned into much sideways action, this does take us into the lower side of an ascending channel... :suspicious: Still looking to expand my position, this may provide the opportunity. No decision today, maybe monday. :rolleyes:

First year in the tracker, there are interesting dynamics in groupings and movements in the first few weeks before accumulated history dampens the action. :)

I've noticed that also. Big groupings. I'm at 718 and less than 1.5% less than the leader. It takes a few weeks for things to spread out and more may be following last years top group more.
 
Market is up... I should have made some sort of move... :blink: At any rate, missed the deadline. Making gains at half throttle!
 
Out on the bounce (hopefully it holds through EOD); 80% G, 20% F (I don't trust the F fund...); expecting lower for a new entry point. Thanks everyone for the thoughts and charts!
 
Futures are down... I'm on board with JTH's 1808 target, looking for that new entry point! :worried:
 
Hunkered down for the snow storm tonight; wet snow followed by deep freezing temperatures makes for the skating rink effect on the way to work tomorrow (delay reporting 'till 1000 :D ). Holding on the lillypad with a toe in the F fund. :cheesy:

We're delayed until noon... still snowing, so we'll see how clean they get the base by noon... good luck to you :)
 
This must be what it's like to live in Canada, why is it you never hear them complaining?
