    For instance, I've been holding invested, in 'sticky pants' mode, as the overall trend is still up; at other points where I've had to bail, waited quite some time for a pullback to get back in. My worst move was a knee jerk bail on short term news driven drop (damn Ruskies) and the market shot up for six more weeks last Oct.

    I did that too. Held and sold at the exact bottom because things didn't look good and I was going on a trip. Things shot up that day as I was traveling and I was stuck in the G fund for the big rise at the end of a lousy October.

    Well that was a huge mistake. After we broke that line in the sand, the market pretty much went straight up for 2 straight weeks. I have been waiting for a dip every since.

    Yeah, I did that last year. This year I've resolved myself to do a little more chasing if I have too. We'll see how that works out.

    Well miraculously the C/S funds are now near the level that I exited them on Feb 9th. I missed the big move up, but also missed the big move down. I don't want to miss the next leg up. Time to focus and seriously consider entry around here.

    I refuse to let the G fund outperform me. I need to snipe a % or two for my own well-being. I might just need to pull a BigJohn move; jump in and don't get out until I'm up at least 1%.

    In class this week to become a Command Financial Specialist. I won't be able to give investment advice, but I can tell a kid he can't afford that sports car!
