Who's bailing today?

I believe so as well...
Those of us in, may take a 0.40% loss today, to turn around and get it back Friday... to lose .20% on Monday, even back up on Tuesday and Wed.

I see thing trundling along for a little bit... but then should shoot up for NOV. Those sitting in Safeland may want to consider jumping in for the remainder of the year. The water is chilly... but still pleasant.

Now... when JAN 15th comes around... it may be another story.
 
Does anyone think it will be Higher tomorrow...Friday?? Thinking to bail now and lock in today's high. ..I got in on sept 30. Stand to make some and then spot another low next week to get back in.

I bailed. 100% G Fund COB today. I think the all time high will be resistance, and economic and earnings news is lousy (mostly) so I decided to lock in a pretty good month (~2% or so)
 
I decided to stay in but thinking about an exit tomorrow. I'm thinking I should gave bailed...yes up about 2% for month at 50 % invested. So I'm kinda surprised how market is doing right now... DOW down n SP up. I guess kicking it down the road nit being viewed that well....also possibility od credit downgrade could cause issues. Wondering if math is off...well that is what tracker indicates. Love my iPad but can't download n use spreadsheets...gotta buy something little like this with more capability...never use my lap or desk top..too big!

I'm in the I fund. With the nearly 4% increase over the last five days, up about 1% now, and the currencies possibly adding another 1% to its fair market value, I'm getting out at COB today until the next .5 to 1% drop then getting back in again. I assume there will be an uptick at 4 PM as feds move their money back in and then it will start out low and drop tomorrow beore resuming a climb sometime next week.
 
Personally I'm staying in until Early-Mid January. My few reasons are mostly sentiment (i think, since i rely on others for technical analysis :D ) and would be upcoming announcements of home sales (which are lacking from what I've read), the Gov debt ceiling issue (again! I may be wrong but the new budget announcement did not address the debt ceiling issue...correct?), and also I just have a bad feeling a slump (april-may) will come earlier in 2014. Of course i've only just started watching market movements/news this past 2013 year....so anything that happened prior to this year has been assumptions and I'll keep following the forums/news for big happenings and adjust my ideas accordingly.

I'm feeling like a dip buyer for 2014 after i move to G.....so if i see a nice %3-4 dip I'll buy in for some short term gains on the rebound before getting back out. Otherwise I'll play it safe this coming year, barring any obvious market movers....(like a more robust Euro/Chinese stimulus program? I-fund growth is so lacking compared to US funds....I wish I knew more about what affects it)

Edit: Just realized this way 2 months old. Hah! So be it. :D
 
I think its a valid topic today. Do people bail to lock in gains or do they ride the market into the new year? good luck, I'm staying in, too!
 
I'm in, but remember, just because of a good year doesn't mean it's buy and hold for eternity, cause friends just don't let friends do that!


:cool:
 
Been a good last couple of months. I'm locking in my gains so I have a set amount in my TSP going into retirement on 12/31/13. Planning to move about a 1/3 of my total into an IRA. I'll jump back in on the next decent dip.
 
I'm stayin IN....at least to the end of the year. If BT makes his bet on the 17000 DOW, I want to be there in the front row, congratulating him on his VISION! :nuts:
 
I was thinking to bail Friday but changed mind. Just looked at charts...BBs expanding and S and C fund all hitting upper band and per my strategy of only being in for 10-12 days, for the rocket up in each little wave I was looking at an exit...but Looking back at past few years (weekly returns), this looks like a great time to hold well into January..so I probably will stay in. May shift some into I fund in early January if it's not too late to get some of the up wave showing in charts now...BBs expanding and price looks like it is about to move up much more...??

I've been getting a little antsy myself with the C and S funds bouncing off the upper BB's and MACD and RSI getting close to sell signals, but on the slow stoch, the black line is still above the red line and pointing up, so I'm staying in for now. Futures are in the green this morning, so that's another plus for staying in. Hope you did'nt wait to long on the I Fund. I've been in since Dec 10th and have nearly made up the losses I had earlier this qtr.

On a personal note, I caught Hearts Christmas Special on AXSTV...Schweeeeeeet!!!

Good tidings and Happy New Year to you. :)
