Probably missing an opportunty, will see what happens tomorrow... :suspicious: downward momentum still seems pretty strong at this point. Did I mention I hate the deadline?

Whipsaw,

I learned last April that it is best to wait for the indicators to be in your favor before taking the plunge. Maybe you missed the opportunity, maybe not...It's good to be sitting where you are with options remaining for the rest of this month. Good luck my friend. Best wishes that you knock it out of the park!!!
 
Was actually considering an entry and then got a phone call! Probably not a bad thing... will look at it again for tomorrow.

Looks like a whole slew of folks followed me in; now I'm hoping the C fund stays out in front! :nuts:
 
Good luck. I failed to use an IFT this month, but my indicators (as I posted earlier today on Bquat's account) showed carryover losses for tomorrow. I was too risk adverse to jump in today even if it cost me positioning in the TSP or potential upside tomorrow.

Futures are down a little, and now this on the VIX rising:

Hopefully not in sticky pants mode out of the gate. :-/
 
Did something change? Jobs report good? Hmmmmmm.... :confused: Trying to keep my sticky pants from losing grip. :sick: Of course, the change is only apparent after the noon deadline.
 
As my own contrarian indicator, fighting off the feeling to step aside, as soon as I do it will likely bottom and head up (hence the monicker). At any rate, holding my breath is not a good investment strategy. Just one observation, all one would hear on the radio and TV (William Devane comes to mind) for the past 5 months is buy gold, buy gold... WELL, I didn't buy any... now the dollar is getting stronger... The average Joe is being manipulated, and fleeced, like its going out of style!
 
Had the distinct pleasure of seeing these guys at the Florabama, even have an autographed CD! Sadly, they've since passed on to their great reward. Enjoy.
