50% S, 50% G, COB

Hey Whipsaw, glad to see you finally got back in the game. Hopefully you timed it properly and got in for the ride back up. Today was a good day to be in equities as I am retracing the last two days down. Always tough to time it just right so I'll make the best of it.

Now let's make some cash!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

I've been waiting for the downside action to play out, thought we were there yesterday with the pop, now futures are down BIG. I only went in 50% as it was a coin toss that we don't go down again. Hoping we're not entering a bear market, don't believe so... need to pick a spot for the other 50%, maybe today...? :suspicious:

 

[Whipsaw]

Yield curve and recession fears have been kicking around for months, curious as to why today it hits hard?

Yep, today... 50% C, 50 % S COB

 

[Whipsaw]

Futures are UP!

 

[ravensfan]

C Fund up 0.25%, S Fund down -0.17%, I Fund up 0.38%, F Fund up 0.46%.

Not exactly the bounce I was anticipating, but still positive so I'll take it. :worried:

The cat and mouse game with Mr. Market continues...

Yes, but was hoping for much better in anticipation of more pain tomorrow

 

[Whipsaw]

It seems the bounce was delayed a day for some reason. Yesterday looks like a bottoming tail on C and S, strength today and hopefully a strong follow through next week. Would certainly like to be on the right side of this market for a while. Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[Whipsaw]

Market futures were up big yesterday on President Trump's announcement on delaying China tariffs... big gap up this morning. opcorn:

 

[Whipsaw]

Futures are up! A few folks are headed for the exits, I may do the same; hopefully we see some good strength today. Clawed my way up to 9% on the AT, trying to make fewer bonehead moves! :laugh:

Been thinking the same thing as well. With this trade, I have managed to erase the boneheaded move I made in early May and am once again above 2%. As I have stated many times on this forum, August and September have never been kind to me, so taking my gains and heading back to the lily pad is a no-brainer.

 

[Whipsaw]

Seeing some strength... :scratchchin:

 

[Whipsaw]

"Its a squeeze play! Its gonna be close... Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate!"

 

[ravensfan]

I'm out!!!:nuts:

 

[Whipsaw]

Tagged out running into home! :cheesy: IFT 100% G COB. Was contemplating staying in... doesn't look like we're going to break through resistance. (famous last words).

 

[Whipsaw]

Just looked at my TSP 12 mo. PIP... -10% uke:

I still have some work to do.

Yeah, I keep forgetting you had a pretty rough year in 2018, and that dive we took last December sucked some decent gains from a lot of folks. But you are doing great this year and I have every confidence your PIP will soon be positive. :biggthumpup:

 

[Whipsaw]

Man! Even though getting out on a down day last week, still positive for the month. There are some big negative numbers accumulating on the AT. Cooling my heels this week, lets see come what may for September.

I missed an entry the other day because some IT support guy called me at 7 min till noon and started asking me questions. I'm still annoyed. ;damnit
