    . It looks bad but for October, the I fund is up 14 cents, while the C and S are up 8 and 6 cents respectively.




    Where did you get these figures? On Oct 1st C fund-$12.00------Oct 12 close was $11.90 UP? .08 cents Please explain

    Oct 1st S fund $13.18------ Oct 12 close $13.04

    Oct 1st I fund $13.62--------Oct 12 close $13.58

    If you think you are making money with these numbers and you really are then you need to be a financial planner. Your stream of business would be non-stop.

    Anyway what gives with the comments.

    And ignoring the F fund at this time I think is foolish.

    Way to go, Tom.

    (Ironically, the prices at the close of the 13th are close to where they were on the 30th for S and C :P)

    It looks to me like in most years there is a big down day or two in the first part of October then an uptrend to the end of the year. If it's true this year we should start up any day. Got my fingers crossed. 50% S 50% I.
    As of cob May 22nd. 100% S fund.

    Certaintainly a little demoralizing for us invested. Congrats to those who stepped aside. Looks like the S&P wants to test the 200-day EMA again near 1100. Not quiteat 2 month low on S&P yet. We are approaching the late September low quickly however.

    New sentiment numbers - 48% bulls, 28% bears. Better than last week but still may be not good enough for a turnaround. Another day or two like today should do it. We are getting oversold again in the short term.

    This is what chaps my rear... I'm out the entire month of Sep. Then when I saw the market rallying a week or so ago, I decided to jump in so I wouldn't miss any gains.

    But at the same time, I'm thinking, "You watch, once you get in things will go down hill!"

    Sure enough!!!:P

    I hate "Murphy's Law"!!!:s

    Shouldda stayed G, or I should have at least waited until a couple red days in a row to buy low.

    I don't care WHAT historical charts say from now on because lately they have been proven wrong time and time again. I'm going morewith my GUT from here on.
