Whipsaw's Account Talk

Right now S fund up .14%, C fund up .43%, and Fund up .83%. …. Woo..hooo…. now to finish out the day. ��


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

Making a little being in last week, hope it continues, that the tarriffs and trade concerns are priced in. You would think the consensus would be for domestic manufacturing vice buying stuff made overseas would bode well for stocks, but the folks caught in the transition will have some turbulence and would be a drag. Was out on Friday, down a bit today, but thinking we will grind higher. That annoying Hindenburg Omen is showing is ugly head again...

I am considering exit today out of at least S fund. I think I see a cross down on my indicators.... Will likely stay in I fund...maybe C... but going to dental appt now so not sure if I will have time... ?? will see.... wishing you and everyone the best!! :smile:

Decided to take a little trip on the I train. 75% G Fund, 25% I Fund, effective COB today...

 

[Whipsaw]

Was out yesterday, watching in the morning... didn't look to bad, the afternoon was not so great. Up so far, hopefully we'll get it back. Some sort of realignment to the major indices is going on this month, there will be volatility as all the big financial houses rebalance accordingly.

 

[Whipsaw]

Nice pop yesterday, futures are up a tiny bit. Lets see where this goes...

 

[Whipsaw]

Sticky pants deployed... maybe should rebalance to the C fund? This is the gouge I have, maybe I should follow it. :banghead:

Whipsaw. You changing up and becoming a buy and holder? I always thought you were a market timer.:nuts:

 

[Whipsaw]

I'm working a hybrid approach, did buy low on 7 Sep, didn't see a clear exit, holding for higher prices. CH is bullish; futures are up this morning, possible strength today? As for the seasonality calendar above, it is in alignment with your best/worst fund.

 

[ravensfan]

Thanks for clearing that up. I was beginning to worry. Also good to know the seasonality calendar and my best/worst fund are in alignment. Good to know it contributes positively to the forum. :dance:

 

[Whipsaw]

Descending wedge pattern on the S fund, this is bullish... right? Support at ~1475 tested several times now. Breaking up is hard to do. >.<

 

[blueroadster]

Seems to be turning out to be a flat top on S.

 

[Whipsaw]

Futures are UP! :nuts: :blink:

 

[Whipsaw]

Hmmmmmmm....

Futures taking a nose dive this morning. I see several folks moving to the I fund, is that poised for better performance than the others?

 

[weatherweenie]

I'm kicking myself for not selling last week. Got greedy.

I fund is weakening...Technology sector is starting to do better and looks like that is helping C and S. You may want to consider staying put for a bit longer... but really you need to decide. check out those 4 month links....anything can happen in this environment...

 

[Whipsaw]

Thanks DBA!! Always appreciate your charts.

Thanks to the new US-Canada-Mexico trade agreement, futures are UP!

 

[Whipsaw]

So what happened to the S fund? Pop and drop! Moving to C after the smoke clears, tomorrow or Wednesday... :-/

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

I was thinking about entering today.... lots of times, when we get good news and have a nice pop.. that will continue for a day or two. Just looked at charts again... S fund looks good but am going to wait. C fund is close to resistance.. has a little more to go. Then there are lots of numbers coming out this week and then I think next week we start getting some earnings info...

I don't know... I almost jumped into S today... but my plan for month was to enter later in month after a short term drop... So kinda wishing I had an additional move each month. If I did, I would get in now for a few days. uggh… It seems that each month, folks jump in on the first of month and make out pretty good for a week or so. Too little time this morning to really decide.
