Thanks Ira for the vote of confidence and for bumping my thread. I obviously haven't been here in quite some time. To be completely honest, when yourself and others let on that you were watching my moves, I got a little scared... because I REALLY DON'T KNOW what I am doing! This year the buy-n-holders of the S fund rule the tracker and anyone that is either playing safe or trying to time it has been left behind. We really won't know the truely knowledgable or lucky ones until there is a....dare I say it....correction!
I have shifted my strategy somewhat this year to be less defensive, longer invested, although that bit me for a couple of percent in Feb ...should have only played the I fund for a one day pop instead of trying to milk it for a few days resulting in giving the gains back.
Another change is that I am paying more attention to a few key members on this forum and watching their charts more closely. JTH, MrJohnRoss, Sensei, Bquat, Clester and Coolhand are must reads when they post and of coarse Tom's Daily Blog is never to be missed!
I mix what they have to say with a study of the charts and throw in a dash of the news (especially out of DC ) and then check the Recent ITFs on the Tracker around 1130, to decide what to do.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
