WorkFE's Account Talk

If you don't have these fears you'll be fine: tapheobia - a fear of getting buried alive, acrophobia - a fear of heights. A ltlle pause to refresh is healthy.

lol i was goin to put a g fund move in on monday sigh, but then i thought better of myself lol.

Buy and HOLD!

Snort Snort Snort!

 

[Birchtree]

Wouldn't you know I spelled taphephobia wrong.

This mornings open is reminding us that we are not in control nor do we know crap:worried:

 

[WorkFE]

Obviously the day is not over but at the moment it would be far fetched to call this a pause.
I do have a small % in the G. Do I dump it in today to capture the down side or wait until BT's pause continues for a few more days.

 

[Medic72]

well ive been cramping my brain on what to do today, seeing where its heading at mid day, I think i can use this time to gather up some more shares of C fund and prepare to ride it back up again, I think im gonna go to 50/40/10. I have a feeling the I fund will bounce back by days end more than the c/s will.

 

[WorkFE]

The good news is Thursday is payday so prices will be down a bit. That is unless we rally just for payday:notrust:

 

[WorkFE]

Take a deep breath. Exhale. And again.
It was not that long ago the majority of the MB was in negative territory now it is the Minority. Most can afford to ride a correction as long as it is not a HUGE down day.
If you've made that 1 move this month remember back to the G and it's locked in till sept. I will risk another % or 2 and make a decision then. I'll be watching the Lead Horses of the MB for indicators and at the moment most seem to be letting it ride (For Now)

Good luck tomorrow everybody.

The top half of the tracker is in strong hand status so (like you said) they can ride it out. I'm swimmin with the fishies so I need to watch the movers to figure out what to do. A little more difficult... :suspicious:

Breathing a little easier today. 40 more minutes however. Funny things happen in that last hour.

The last hour of the market is the scariest. Just like yesterday the sell off started around 3:30.
I wish the FRTIB would give a us few more IFT's a month or move the trade time to between 3 and 4. It sure would give us a better chance to manage our retirement. Even if you are a "buy and hold" person it would still be an advantage once in awhile.

One of my steady stocks. Profits are aways good but if sales are down and profits are up then your savings are not as great. However they have made some cost cutting moves without reducing workforce. Probably a reduction in inventory.

I know I heard in someones thread in the last couple days that today and tomorrow would be very interesting. I agree. Uptrend continuation will be determined between now and the Friday COB.
After the beginning of the week we rallied back hard Mitwoch. Do we give it back and continue down or do we rally back for a continuation next week.
I vote up how about you all.

 

[WorkFE]

here we go:d

 

[WorkFE]

Pins and needles today. If a panic sell off does not kick in than it should be a relatively flat close.

Nice to know our I fund will be in Good Hands:worried:

How is an annual salary like that, to a paid employee, even justified.

Should be interesting today. Early eye on the VIX.

 

[kar_crazy]

i hope close to a flat , started ugly so far:blink:

 

[WorkFE]

If you were fortunate enough to get out yesterday, smart move.
There is always the chance that we see a panic sell off today. If that happens I'll through my current 10% G into the mix.
Man is it ever rolling, in the wrong direction.

 

[WorkFE]

I going to be sick. Hold on nnutt were coming to ya.

 

[Birchtree]

This may be the first of a multiday drop but I wouldn't count on it. It's really an opportunity for some to get in a little cheaper. At least I won't over pay on the C fund today.

 

[WorkFE]

Figures. My contribution went in at yesterdays close.
Might toss that 10% into the hole today.

 

[WorkFE]

Tossed my spare change (G Fund) into the chaos.
45-C
45-S
10-I
In keeping with the high standards of the MB I used top secret TA to make my decision.
It involved a Dart Board.:laugh:
