    Market lows and fluctuationsseem to be SOP preceding national elections, sayeth PBS business/money talking heads. So a bumpy ride is not an aberrations and we will survive.

    What do people think about this? After we know the outcome of the election, that will give the market some certainty so you can count on some kind of bounce after the election. So, pick the low point you want to enter stocks before the election, stay the course and profit after the election.

    Typically the election year rally starts in July/August and yes, after the election is another rally.

    I'm getting that "bail out" feeling too. But this is what keeps me going- I simply cannot bail out of a fund that I have lost on, because once I do I will miss out on a rally and gaining back my losses then some! That's just Murphy's Law.

    I just can't stand the thought of missing out... so that's what keeps me going.:^

    It's all "on paper" folks, so stick with your guns until you gain back your losses, then you can chill out in "G" for a while if you so please to do so.

    I'm still currently 30%C 50%S 20%I.

    Just a reminder, back on April 30th I got a "buy" signal for the S fund so I went 100% S at $12.78 per share. I didn't get a "sell" signal till June 25th. I "sold" my shares then at $13.07 for a 2.27% gain. Almost 2 months of sitting on my a** picking my nose! Sometimes it takes awhile, sometimes it doesn't. In March I bought and sold the S fund in 7 days, for a 4.35% gain!

    Just hang tough folks...............:*
