Yeah, going for the stop loss today. I can't even look at the AT, I was up there...

Some signs of life, holding...

Some signs of life, holding...

I know. I swear they watch what we do and give us just enough hope in the morning to keep us hanging on, then pull the rug out at the end of the day.

What's that about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? :nuts:

 

[ravensfan]

Should have remembered the stops...;damnit

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

That is exactly what I keep telling myself! Hope is dangerous... Keeps me in longer than I should.

 

[Whipsaw]

Whoohooo! Rally to the close!

 

[Whipsaw]

I should have move more in yesterday. ;damnit:grumble:

 

[Whipsaw]

I should have bailed when it was up! :bigeyes:

 

[Whipsaw]

I'm looking for a pattern here... :cheesy: Seriously thought, stop loss in the cards again, but Tsunami is making allot of sense. Gonna have to tighten the seat belt and put on the depends. 30% dry powder... if there is a bottom in sight.

:swordfight:Aaarrrrrghhh! Avast, ye mateys! Thar be dip buyers about! :hijacked:

 

[Whipsaw]

It would be nice to buy low and not have it go lower, just sayin' :suspicious:

A relief rally would work well about now.

 

[Whipsaw]

Threw in the rest... 50% C, 50% S COB. Expect this to be a short play, unless they 'sell the news' tomorrow. :notrust:

Agree. Rally’s have been sold as of late but this one has a broader rally feel too it. I believe the 1/2 point hike is priced in and stocks are broadly oversold. Feels like a brief rest of the week stay in the markets or at least through Thursday. Hmmm…really need some gains.

It's only Wednesday morning, and this chart isn't accurate until the market prints its close on Friday ... but there is a bottoming tail forming on the SPX Weekly:

S&P 500 Index, SPX Advanced Chart - (S&P US) SPX, S&P 500 Index Stock Price - BigCharts.com (marketwatch.com)

I bailed to the lily pad last Thursday, 5 May, sorry I didn't get to post it here. I'm out till June at this point, cue the 'tremendous flushing sound.' Now I want to see the covid market dump all over again. That is very selfish, isn't it? :nuts:

All I can say is yikes!!

I'm at -3.5 and 74 on the AT... FWIW. 15 market days until new IFTs. -.-

I wish I was at a minus 3.5 or even a minus 5. :angryfire:

Another week and everyone enters the TSP DEAD ZONE 'till June where no IFTs can be made. Just lovely... :notrust:

*** May 16 to the first week of June: Certain My Account transactions, online tools, and forms will be temporarily unavailable.

*** May 26 to the first week of June: All transactions will be temporarily unavailable, including changes to investments. My Account and the ThriftLine will also be unavailable during this time.

*** First week of June: Full TSP service is back with lots of window dressing and no additional IFTs to manage your account funds. :suspicious:
