Whipsaw's Account Talk

[Scout333]

I'm guessing this is one of Mr. Markets way of scaring us away from the Santa rally (he has many ways - falling oil, poor China news, rate increases, etc. etc. etc.) , then as soon as we're all out the smart money makes a mint, then we all jump back in...just about SPX 2200 and then the Jaws snap shut...

Keep your head on a swivel, lots of things swirling around in this mess...

4 key factors that may make this the year

Turn around in play? I didn't get into the TSP site in time to make a move, but there is this:

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 11/30/2015 is 14.74%.

Not too shabby :smile:

Santa Rally starts Wednesday, maybe?

 

[Whipsaw]

Pondering my position on the tracker I found myself putting TSP lyrics to '100 years' (try to keep your dinner down...) here goes!

I'm number 10 for a moment, stuck in G 'tween 9 and 11...
I have to make a move or get run over by the rise...
I'm number 10 for a moment, it happened once before to me, showing that a blind squirrel can find an acorn...
this markets insane, its true, one day up then down a few, its insane, putting your savings into the game,
when you only got till retirement to win.


Uhhh... sorry.... :embarrest:

Futures are up... with the Fed rate hike pending, could this be a buy the rumor sell the news situation? Oil rallying aside, a rate hike gives a nod to a stronger economy, though Japan and the ECB have had issues getting off 0. What are the odds of a hike not being made? And then what?

Well, this analyst says a 'rip your face off' rally is starting; significant oversold conditions; considers the rate hike priced in at this point. =:-o.

Good follow through with gains in Europe and now up at the open in Asia... a harbinger of good things to come?

Noticed that too, hopefully good signs and we close the week out strong and we go green through next week for Christmas. Lol Santa Rally? Maybe..? Please? Pretty Please lol.

 

[Whipsaw]

Rally to the close! Very nice...

Jaws of Death pattern... something to keep in mind?

Why the Dow Jones Industrial Average Could Begin a 70% Decline in the Next Few Weeks - TheStreet

Hey WS, I've been seeing this chart in various articles recently, a big reason I'll be curious to see how 2016 plays out. I hate being bearish, but the charts seem to be telling us something. Nice year you've had on the tracker! I can pinpoint 3 moves I mis-timed since late August that would have gained me an additional 12-15% probably, but isn't that always the story?

Nordic, thanks! Hindsight is 20/20; Yes, we should certainly consider this, but, we had how many 'Hindenburg Omne' things last year that amounted to nothing... so, its important to consider all the information available, big picture, then position appropriately. Easier said than done, of course.

 

[Whipsaw]

Futures are up! This on top of a good follow through in Europe and Asia overnight

 

[FogSailing]

WS: As of this moment, I still expect a pullback to SPX 2020 pivot. I don't know if that happens this week, but I do believe it will happen next week if not this week, then hopefully SPX will rally to 2145-2170. So everyone needs to be on their toes. I'm hanging in there today and will probably make an IFT tomorrow morning to G or F.

[Whipsaw]

FS, thanks! I'm out of IFTs so I'm in for the duration, will be riding out any weakness going forward. Didn't expect weakness out of the gate this a.m.

Me neither...it came a day early...Mr. Market vamboozles me again..

Today was a bummer... BUT, I have my contributions going into the S-Fund so I'll be buying in low tonight DCA BABY!

 

[offroad]

Good way to think of it whipsaw. Contributions can take some gain. Was cursing myself for not getting out Wednesday at 11am. Was too lazy. My own personal two days up rule was not followed, and missed a quick gain.
