This red river flow might boost me up the tracker a few notches.
So we have a crisis in Egypt with only 500 dead stinking islamists and Obama is flustered. Where is the creep with 100,000 dead in Syria. Morsi was trusted eventually and then tried to take the law away from the people - well the creep has been doing the same thing and is certainly impeacheable. I only wish.
Registry #762!! Good gosh, had the lungs even been discovered yet!!
I can't stanz it no more - everytime I get close to the silver spoon the market takes it away from me. I sold some GWR to raise cash for buying power next week. I can always find a way to collect some precious wall flowers even though I've stated previously that I didn't want to do any selling - well flexibility is the name of the game and now I have cash available. Now I'm going to go pull an hours worth of weeds and sweat for love.
Those poor suckers holding bonds are getting killed. So much for safety. There may be no place for them to hide, except maybe cash. Even then, inflation will gobble them up.
You've been right all year about buy & hold. Let's see if your luck holds out, as we get ready to head into the month of September, which is typically the worst performing month of the year for stocks...
CURRENT ALLOCATION: 100% I AS OF C.O.B. 5/22/2017
I personally abide by the B&H strategy as well, however, I did move 20% back into the "G" fund a couple weeks ago anticipating a pullback during this time of the year. I'm planning to move that 20% back into equities after the next Fed mtg in Sept and will probably add more to my "I" fund allocation. Long term, it appears equities is the only game in town.
Not a good week for my oceanic account: +$9K, -$9K, -$12K, -$76K, -$12K for a give back of -$100K. Keeping my fingers crossed that August doesn't wipe out my +$308 gain for July. September is a large dividend month and the income stream continues to build so I take what ever the market goddess giveth. Bonds continue on the road to perdition. The hoofhearted are waiting with arms wide open for the cash deliverance.
Sorry to hear of your losses -- but you will prevail! I know I am sitting here (100% in the S fund) debating what to do. I seem to remember being here late May (in the same spot) and I jumped out, which was the wrong thing to do.
If you have a moment (and this goes to anyone else out here reading this), we have a new member who would love some perspective on the markets. Here's a link to his thread: Hello from Japan!. Thanks!
100% S -- "After dark all cats are leopards." - Native American Proverb
Money flows like the tides - next week it may all return. Dividends are however mostly in perpetuity and I have more to reinvest this month. My losses don't last long - it's only a distraction on the way to market nirvana.
Ok... Wait just a second.... I gotta look up Perpetuity.... Geeez ... Better go ahead, I'm not sure how to spell it. :-)
