COB friday I moved 20% into the G.
I would need a significant pullback (3-5%) to make a meaningful (CSI) share increase impact.

Holding through today. If we get a good pullback I'll jump. If we bounce off this slight selling preasure, no harm done.

Need to make up my mind by COB tomorrow or I'll have to burn a new month IFT to deploy it.

Hoping for an opportunity to use my second IFT tomorrow as well. That way I have both bullets for February.
 
At the same time NASA I will not make an IFT just to keep from losing it. But if things work out that way I'm ready.

I used an IFT at the end of the month just to get an extra round trip. I'm not so sure I would at this time. Had it dropped and recovered a litte more convincinly, maybe burn the one on the drip - no much of a dip, however. The trend is my friend is beginning to look only like an acquintance and, for what its worth, the negative seems now to be larger than the positive of possible outcomes. Even when I get new February IFTs, I will let the market (and Europe) give me something more than what its showing now. Then, again I seldom make a decision until after 11:30am.
 
As well I generally do not make moves before 11:30.
This pullback could be shallow. If thats the case reaction time could be very difficult to time.
Especially if it starts to whipsaw, catching people in between moves. We've seen this alot over the past few years.
Some times the best move is no move.
 
From the tracker it sure does not seem to be to beared up. At least from #187 up most seem to have a fair amount in equities.
I hear 1265 as a retreat line but folks sure are not reacting to that talk, I'm no exception. I guess when it bottoms we'll all jump to the G.:laugh:
 
Keep your eyes on the prize - the index (SPX) is on a buy signal and has an upside price objective of 1520, some 15% above current levels.
 
With all the folks in equities in front of me on the tracker I only managed 2 spots today. The good news is a large number of folks participated in those gains and thats a good thing.
Wife and I are getting ready to head to PA. 12 hour drive, here we come. I'll be out of the net for a few days to visit family, be back Sunday morning.
Futures are up right now and most of the TSP Talker systems are on a buy. I'll have my laptop in the event a move is warranted but for now, The Trend Is Our Friend.

WFE, with all the congestion above you (been there) it is not about the position but the money in the pocket. I will have no problem getting knocked off the top of the Tracker as long as I don't get stupid and protect what I have accomplished so far. This is somewhat new territory for me. Been at this dollar figure once last year and didn't protect it smartly. Do not want to repeat that scenario again. Good luck and have fun in PA.
 
Thanks NASA. Trip was fine. Stepfather is doing as well as can be expected. Brother looks good and my Grandmothers memory is better in the morning than the evening:D
Not much moving above me on the tracker tells me people are confident or expect they have a cushion to move if this thing turns sour.

Futures are down a bit this morning.
 
Futures up a bit and the dollar continues its slide. The days are beginning to look like rewinds.
The trend is our friend until it's not.
 
.15% may not seem like alot but if we average that every week for the remainder of the year we would end up an additional 7%.

I know a few on here who are trying to double up every year but personally I can more than live with a 10-15% return a year.

On a serious note, just looking at the tracker, bulls hate company and I fully expect a shake up soon.
 
The S fund, at this point today, seems to be down the most. I fund is staying honest due to the continueing fall of the dollar.

If we pull back I believe it could be minimal, so:

C= 30%
S= 60%
I= 10%
