Where's the bottom?

The only thing I wanted to show you today was the recent activity in the dollar.  The I fund tracks the EAFE index and a falling dollar helps the I fund return while a rising dollar holds it back some.  If the recent strength in the dollar continues I'd rather be in the C and/or S fund.  If it heads back down, I may get back into the I fund...

That is why I am currently 50% C, 50% S fund, still waiting for the market to turn.  The S&P 500 is now at the bottom of the range I where I thought the pullback might end (1163).  We haven't seen the panic selling I would have liked to have seen at a bottom.  It's been more of an apathetic sell off.  Will it be enough?  The next support is about 1150 so we need some help here.  See you tomorrow.
