Whipsaw's Account Talk

[DreamboatAnnie]

BT, thank you for your service! And for your perma-bull take on the market. As for me, I got out yesterday! Retired from the Navy Reserve with 28 years. Had a big retirement ceremony with friend and family coming in from out of town, lots of pictures, a quintet playing in the back, speeches, presentations, a reception at the local watering hole and drinking late into the evening; it was a great send off. p.s. they called me this morning to ask how to do some things; they're gonna miss me.

WOW!!! Huge congratulations to you Whipsaw!!

Sound like you had a great and fun send off party. You may need to visit them soon so they can riddle you with tons of questions and get it over with! Lol.... Bet it feels great to be retired! I wish you the best!!

DBA, thanks! It was a great day; I told them I would be stalking the various lunch haunts to keep tabs on them! :laugh: Now to get to all of my back-burner projects...

North and East on the charts, I like it! Damn, I do need to rebalance more into the I-Fund...

congrats to you and I thank you for your service. I got outa year ago and love love love it. Just a couple of pearls of wisdom. Don't let other people especially family members plan your days or you will never do what you want to do. Also be aware of people who are envious or jealous of your new found BUM status. There are haters out there but just smile and keep on keep n on. Congrats again

Guchi, words of wisdom, thanks! I still have my day job, but I do get a weekend back and possibly a real vacation in my hip pocket.

This report from the BT Department:

In a quiet stock market, whispers of an M&A wave - Yahoo Finance

Very interesting info Whipsaw. If EU introduces QE,M&A action picks up, the fed defers a rate increase until next fall, it could be a helpful boost to keep the bull market upward into the summer. Wouldn't that be great.

Thanks for posting.

Seasonality was supposed to be up post holiday... :suspicious: WTH!

Already in equities; one IFT... decided to increase I-Fund exposure 60% S, 40% I. The AT is not letting me log in for some reason (won't display page). Even posting this reply went to advanced mode, something flakey going on...

Nice allocation! I just submitted my second IFT for May, going 50% S Fund and 50% I Fund...Wow it feels good to be able to tell someone what my current allocation is as I have cast off the bonds of belonging to a premium service...Anyway, here's to hoping we both finish May strong!!! :beerchug:

S-Fund made just about every penny back today! Keep on runnin'!

This was a great recovery, but we have been alternating between gains and losses almost every day for the last two weeks. Do you see this rally lasting through the first several days of June? Perhaps it's time to take some off the table.

I'm on the sidelines until this Greece mess shows some clarity. There's a lot of positive spin out there (more M&A, Euro QE) but don't want to be caught off guard like I was in 2008. Best of luck to you in your investing.

Greece starts to get its act togeather and then China starts playing games! Go figure. Futures are down this morning, maybe we can shrug that off and see those strong first few days in June that Tom pointed out. Then take some profits? Staying in through the 1st for that extra IFT!

S-Fund and I-Fund down .15 and .16 respectively... not too shabby. Up and out tomorrow! Maybe... >.<

Up and out tomorrow if we get a chance, is an excellent idea for capital preservation. Too many issues next week, China, Greece, and a strong dollar also?

Time for a June swoon.

 

[Whipsaw]

If we're lucky today will be a rerun of yesterday. Consolidation? Looking for a push higer next week. Hmmmmm... Greece, China... contracting economy... interest rates still basically 0%, mortgage apps are up, anywhere else to invest? Anything fundamentally change? Holding position for now. Have a great weekend everyone!
