Glad you missed this drop, if your pattern holds (now that its spotted, its likely over), I can climb out and rebalance, or something...

I feel for you Whipsaw. We have all been there as well. You have climbed out of holes before and I know you can do it again.

Good luck to you. Hang in there!!!:smile:

Yes Whipsaw... wishing you the best. Keep your chin up! If it helps, I do hope it will be a quick dip. Seems to be very politically motivated due to Ryancare/Obamacare this week. If it passes Thursday, it could shoot right back up. Just no telling what will happen.

Best wishes to you and everyone!!!!! :smile:

Isn't it sad that we need a policy that takes health coverage away from 24 Million Americans to make the market happy.

No what's really sad is that 24 million Americans have health coverage that is unaffordable because of the high premiums and is unusable because they cannot meet the high deductibles. But hey, at least they have coverage, usable or not...:nuts:

 

[Whipsaw]

Everyone seems to forget that just as many people were affected when the ACA was passed and implemented... sorry, but there is going to be just as much turbulence righting the ship.

 

[Whipsaw]

Looking for further weakness for the next few days, going 100% F, then looking for re-entry.

 

[ravensfan]

Was tempted to buy the dip today, but until this healthcare vote gets resolved I fear there is more down activity to come. S&P is less that 20 points from the 50 SMA, and yesterday's close in DWCPF took out last months low set on 2 Feb...Remaining patient for now...Maybe next week!

Good luck with your decision to move to the F fund...

 

[Whipsaw]

The F fund always seems like a crap shoot. Looks like the healthcare bill is a bell weather as to market direction, we shall see what happens. Vote possibly tonight at 7 p.m., so we get a whole day to soak up the action before we can do anything... that would be effective on Monday... maybe they'll delay the vote. :notrust:

 

[Whipsaw]

I admit, I was logged in and ready to pull the trigger on Friday to move back in to equities, didn't do it. Trying to take a more pragmatic approach, patience... patience... At any rate, futures are down significantly. I think a good deal of the tax cuts planned were going to be based on the heath care reform, could be a challenge going forward.

Hey Whipsaw, I'm thinking that today may be a buying opportunity for a short term (2 to 3 day) play. Your thoughts? Also, Autotracker still has you in the S fund while your signature block has you in the F fund. Which is it?

 

[Whipsaw]

Definitely 100% F per the signature line (and TSP.gov...) as of COB 22 March. I don't know what happened to the AT, its been giving me fits lately (having to log in twice), but I'm sure I put it in. Can that get fixed past the deadline?

As for a buying opportunity... its climbing now from the open. Bob Brinker was saying the market really doesn't care about healthcare... its Taxes... so, not sure what the way ahead is...

 

[ravensfan]

Yeah that climbing thing can be a double edged sword at times with having to submit an IFT by noon. I've been burned by it before, on days I was exiting the market on what I thought was an up day which ended down and buying in on a down day that ended up...As for tax cuts, I think the President learned a lot about the inner workings of Washington with the healthcare vote and won't make that mistake again.

Still got 30 minutes to decide if today is the day...

 

[Whipsaw]

Anyone else seeing the headlines that the market is tanking, global sell off, stocks sour, Trump Trade Tantrum... save for the gap lower, its still heading north and east.

 

[Whipsaw]

100% I COB

Isn't this where you are supposed to buy? Humm? Irrational sell off or rebalancing or the big correction we are due?

Unbalanced indeed!!

 

[Whipsaw]

Tom, is it possible to adjust the AT to reflect my time in the F-fund? If its too hard, no biggie. It looks like I gained .14% for that period as in my signature.

 

[Whipsaw]

Another day like yesterday and I'll be back in the black; two more then positive for the month... what are the odds?
