WorkFE's Account Talk

True. But this is all about quick money for the big boys and that is not settled yet. As pawns we are just along for the ride.

 

[FAB1]

A big day today will be great, but what we need to see is a number of days in a row with small increases to really improve confidence. Sometimes big up days result in big down days.

Give me 3%-4% and I will run away to play another day.

 

[Birchtree]

Running is good for your physical health but not for your financial health.

 

[WorkFE]

Overseas green, US futures rocking. Today will be a very telling day.

Different day same message

 

[FAB1]

Running is good for your physical health but not for your financial health.

Actually, I feel too optimistic about the market - thats why Im pulling back and being cautious!

Big John, Borderblade and others in the top 50 have cooled their jets too. They could at the top of the tracker
before the month's end. I said "could"

 

[Birchtree]

The bull market will power higher as long as people don't start buying into it in droves and as long as the prevailing belief is that it's a cyclical bull within a secular bear. Fear is good.

VIX under 14.60 :worried:

 

[WorkFE]

Hope everyone had a great Easter.
Been a bit busy here, if anyone could use some rain I will share.
Some time over the last week my yard has become a CoE flood control lake. And before you ask, yes I tried fishing, no fish.:nuts:

GL this week everybody.

 

[WorkFE]

Not to many in front of me sitting in the slow lane so I will just be happy not losing money. (Today)

 

[WorkFE]

woohoo #168. Moved up a bit.
Only a hand full in the garage above me so I need to stay on point.
Gains
I left the I fund a bit early. Not sure how much lower it can go. Shifted my weight to mostly S and C. Wonder if I should have loved C a bit more. Oh well.

Will stay:
40C
45S
15I
But I got my eye on May. Right around the corner.

 

[WorkFE]

Futures down this morning. Not surprising considering the last couple of days but remember yesterday was not settled early on either.

Not sure how much more the dollar can decline (down this morning again) but over the last 5 years it has been lower a few times. I jumped out of the I fund (not completely) a bit early.

I jumped out of gold a while back as it got to rich for my liking. I bought the poor mans gold and have been patting myself on the back ever since. Now to figure out how not to overstay my welcome.

GL today everybody.

 

[WorkFE]

Moved up 4 spots. Hey, 4 spots is 4 spots.:laugh:

Market looks to be a smidge overbought with some gaps to fill but if it pulls back will it be significant enough to try and capitalize on it or get trapped with a wasted move or worse miss some continued upward action. There is no question the market wants to continue to climb. IMO to capitalize on pullbacks worth noticing they have to be world event driven. Good luck trying to time one of those.
Events to keep an eye on: Weather seems to be rough this year and that can move markets. Israel and the PA, something in that area positive or negative can have a significant impact. Just to name a few.

If the dollar continues down tomorrow I may trim my last 15% out of the I fund and save it for a rainy day or not. We'll see.
With 163 people in front of me doing way better than me it is easy to just follow the leaders.

 

[WorkFE]

Dollar down again early this morning. Is there a bottom, could we see 66-68 area? I may keep my 15% in the I fund exposed a while longer.
Futures up slightly. Overseas quiet
Today should be interesting, could be some selling pressure with investors taking profits going into May.

GL Today everybody.

 

[WorkFE]

Well we did not end April with a bang but we finished strong and that's what counts.
Heading out tomorrow to see if I can fill my last Spring Gobbler tag. I will sit quietly in the forest thinking about my TSP. Not:laugh:

Have a great weekend everybody.

Let's have some Investments, I buy the first six pack of Heineken
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above alone, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg. And as a bonus;
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you damned proud to be an American!!!

 

[WorkFE]

Congrats to our Armed Forces and all those who support them.

tspintel
i liked that little scenario!

 

[WorkFE]

If you were looking for an Out in Play to gain alittle. This could be it. Got to see if the market will hold through out the day. If it does I look for the market to realize he's just an individual and nothing has changed. There is no guarantee that it will hold, euphoria factor will fade quickly.
In any event, just random thoughts.

BT, is the dollar bottoming or do you think the I fund still has significant advances.
S Funders, at what point does the C fund look more attractive, Is OBL death a Fund changer?

S Funders, at what point does the C fund look more attractive, Is OBL death a Fund changer?

"I" fund was $26.31 back in October of 2007. Would love to hear BT's answer to your question.

 

[WorkFE]

Dollar continues its spiral and the I Fund, early on, is gettin after it.

Watch Lybia news closely. That is coming to a head.
