I'm with you Whipsaw! :D So far this trade has not been kind. But as a wise man once told me, "It's not where a trade begins, but where it ends that counts."

"You have to stand still to run fast" is another good one. I may have to lean a little furhter into that I fund... :nuts:

Not really sure what happened today as things were looking very promising just after noon today and quickly headed South by the end of the day, but hey a gain is a gain, so I'll take it.:banana:
 
Well the S Fund finished up 0.62 of which I own 50%. The I Fund ended the day up 0.55% of which I own 50% of that, so it looks like I finished the day up 0.57%. I'll take it.

Lately it seems we are seeing some decent gains at noon, only to watch it slowly disappear by market close. Having two IFT's per month sucks, but imagine how nice it would be if an IFT could be processed as soon as it was received...Almost makes only having two IFT's per month bearable.:rolleyes:

Gonna be looking at the charts this evening to see if tomorrow is the day to bail. Greece and the jobs report on Friday are concerning. If I bail, I could be missing out on a nice gain and if I stay in, I could be setting myself up for nasty loss. Decisions, decisions...At least my two IFT's are intact, so if I do bail to soon, I can get back in.:nuts:
 
Why did the I-Funders outperform the S-Funders on the Autotracker? Was a 'fair valuation' snuck in there? Hmmmmm..... :suspicious:

I, too, have that extra move to bail and re-enter, futures with the 'global bond selloff' are down, so is the dollar, which is good for the I-Fund; Would like to see the market dig out from the bad futures. Possibly time to take some profits?

Hey DBA! What's your take on this chart? BB's starting to constrict? Do we drift up a little further or maybe a larger dip is looming...

I'm seeing a plethora of views in the media about what comes next. It goes in every direction. Everyone has an opinion. I'm thinking Occam's Razor is where we are....and that supports a negative market and aligns with the article that exnavy posted..

Therefore, I should probably jump into C and S 100%. Isn't that the way the market tends to move.

Right now I'm still sitting out. I'm just too uncomfortable with the news that is there and while I'm focused on it ....just watch for the unexpected news to pop up and move the market...could be up or down... I think I'll go find my meds and chill.

WTFO. I'm out of pocket for one day and the whole market goes to hell in a hand basket! Ok, what happened?:suspicious:
 
The slide is a little disconcerting, though there are many folks jumping in... sticky pants deployed! :nuts:
