nice timing there ma'am. ..

Thank you, sir. I'm just following my EMA crosses with confirmations from CH's IYB Seven Sentinels.

And thanks for the visit.

I'm so excited! Medical researchers have finally started human clinical trials on the treatment that could help my health issues (no, not ALS, something rarer). Now I just have to stay as healthy as possible until they can get the treatment ready for general use.

Thanks, grandma! I worked from a home office for almost six years before I finally pulled the plug. Except when I was working out of my suitcase, that is. And in the month since I've re-retired I've been asked to go to Manhattan, Omaha and San Francisco. I hated to tell them no but if I could still do it I'd never have retired. It was really interesting work.

And yes, love those grandkids! I saw some of them at Walmart yesterday and the baby was holding a bag of candy. I asked her what she had and she said, "M-an-M-an-M-an-M-an-M's!":laugh:

Thanks, folks, I really appreciate it!

Because the treatment is working with stem cells directly in the spinal cord, anything other than trial use is still probably years out. And I can't volunteer for testing because my condition is rare enough that they wouldn't be able to extrapolate data - - I already checked. But it's been over a decade since I heard they were able to realistically start exploring this option so at least I know things are moving along now. Very cool!

I'm mostly in G Fund right now with a little in F. I was thinking that with these cheap prices I should nibble back in a bit. But I talked myself back out of it. I have learned that for me and my trading mentality it is best to be a trend trader. My best trades have been when I pick a timeframe and wait for a golden cross before moving in to a fund. Then when there is a dead cross I run don't walk to the nearest exit.

So that's what I'm going to do this time too.

That was interesting, Birch. Thanks for visiting. Lots to think about now. Hm-m-m.

Pre-markets are down across the board. Probably lots of profit taking after yesterdays big day. Prices are still cheap. If I wanted back into the markets, it would probably be good to buy on this down day.

Unfortunately I have docotors appointments until after the deadline and so will have to make up my mind in the next hour. Hm-m-m-m, what to do, what to do ..... {goes back to studying her charts}

Good Luck on any decision you make. Hope you have a good day.

Well, I pulled the trigger and moved about half my account back into equities early this morning on what I thought was going to be a down day. That's what I get for thinking!:cheesy:

As of COB today I'll be 60% G, 5% F, 20% C, 10% S and 5% I.

Looks like you were right after all about the day - only S is up, with pretty small potato gains.

Hi, my friend! It's hard to decide how to invest in this manipulated market. That's why I'm half in, I guess. Thanks for flying in to visit!

Goodnight ~~ and thank you.

Lady,

Would now be a good time to initiate the movie game once again - for slow tight range days. The game would allow more participation.
