Ladies and Gentlemen,
Fasten your seatbelt things might get a little bumpy.:worried:
If you are at risk (Most are) it's to late for today. Decision point. Do I bail out and except todays most certain losses or do I hang in there and see what happens this week.
If you are up over 10% for the year the decision will be somewhat easier than for those under 10%. I believe there will be a 10% retracement.
Good luck

Trying to stay positive (Both mentally and Financially)
I haven't looked at the AT for awhile but my guess is you are undoubtedly in the positive.
Staying 'positive' mentally is far superior to staying 'positive' financially. This way you make the most out of life and way more accurately put things in perspective. That's why when Norm said something about being 'stuck at the bottom' I noted the huge difference between the Positive and the Negative.
Most of us are expecting a substantial pull back - yet continued growth appears to dominate the overall outlook.
GL to you too

Another day of turmoil and indecision. There is a benefit to being in the G (Stress Free) of course I am not taking advantage of that benefit.:cheesy:
I read on someones thread, not sure who's, that we would probably end Aug right around where we started. I am starting to believe they might be right. (Range Bound) That could last all the way to the holidays, we shall see.
The VIX is pointing the market to the upside currently. For today I expect that to hold. Flat to the Upside.
GL everybody

Can we get 3 green days in a row?
Futures is a good start.
As an investor with some time left until I need my investments a double dip would be welcome. As long as it did not lead to job loss which is always a concern. But if you are coming into your retirement years in the near future this has to be a concern.

Would be nice if accurate.

From the article about the administration trimming the deficit forecast, I sure hope that $250B carved out of Bank bailout funds is not just a shell game to fund something else. You know how the gov rolls....

So we finished off the week on a high note. I spent most of yesterday painting my shed and not following the market action. Maybe I should do that more often.
The tracker is a bit confusing. It was updated but 0% gain for everyone.
Maybe we can get the construction people back to work by the end of the year.

Futures are up ever so slightly at the moment. Can we carry the momentum. Possibly. This is going to be a slow week for any economic reporting. Looks like we'll have to fend for ourselves.
Overseas up strong today dollar also up. Probably will nolify some nice I fund gains.

My goal this year was 10% on the year. I have revised that to 13%.
If today looks strong I may move 10-20% into the G fund but I'll leave my current I fund (10%) at that level.
GL today everyone.
