I am now leaning away from ASUS Chi which has the M processor. Seems some reviews indicate it doesn't have speed/power. Thanks for the help!!!

"Yoga"...not "Yoda"....That's what I get for typing the message to you after a weekend marathon of Star Wars with the kids.

Just for the record, I cancelled my IFT at the last minute so am staying 100% G....the lower it goes the higher the odds that the bull market top is already in place at 2119....but a break below 2040 will be needed to really start to believe that's the case. I'm just being extra careful here since the little countdown clock on my desk says 454 days to retirement (eligibility).

I noticed an unusually low tide today, in fact the ocean seems to be draining away....hmmm.... my tracker status is off reality currently for the first time in a few years. I'm in G but have an IFT left for March and have an IFT request in to get back to 100% C today, with the plan to get back out as close to this next peak as I can manage...just need to look for 5 waves up from today's low, completing somewhere above 2120.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad I'm out of IFT's or I may have entered today.

With the down trend today, will be watching for an entry. But as I recall last year around this time was not so good. Maybe this is just a pull back from last weeks news driven up action. This week should tell us if market goes higher. Just not sure what other option there is but to sit and wait. I'd like to wait for a little more pull back if it's coming. Will see... Best wishes to you and everyone on their investments!!!!!

Don't jump into the fire until you see smoke!

Well not sure I see fire yet, but a little smoke clouding view. Slow Stochastic is low right now so am buying what I hope is the dip. Will see ... Going 100% S fund today. Hope to be positioned for April. I will probably stick in for awhile if it drops a little more next week. Yellin talks later today and I think some consumer price info coming in. Oh we'll... Best wishes to everyone on their investments!!!!!! DBAnnie

I jumped the gun! Made a premature buyin on Friday...mistake..had set my Stochastic to setting of 5,5.... Was playing with settings earlier in day ...when I made last minute decision I didn't notice it. That setting had us under 20... Dang! The default settings show about 43 ... Probably going further down. Gotta decide tomorrow if I should exit to safety or ride it out.

On a positive note, if you do bail Monday you won't be shut out for long. You get two new IFTs on Wednesday.

You didn't make a mistake, you made money

At this point, IMHO it's better to start out the month invested

I'm happy I'm in. What are you people worried about? Time to party!

Well guys.... Had to take some off the table today. Moved 50% to G. Will see how tomorrow goes. The market is closed Friday, and I will be out a few days. Feel better with lower risk. Maybe playing it too safe, but I am revamping my strategy and not feeling the most confident right now. Might pull the rest tomorrow. But I must say your encouraging words have given me a big lift!! Thank you so much!!!

Dang I wish I had read my thread before making the move...but that's okay. Maybe I'll stay partly invested a bit longer!! Best wishes to you all and to everyone on their investments!!!!!! DBAnnie.

P.S. I think I'm still steaming from not being in a couple weeks ago. Wanted to buy on that Tuesday and sell Friday...ugghhh Now that would've been awesome. I think I'm a bit off lately but will regroup. Time for a vacation!! Yup Judy... I need to party a little! JTH..I hope I make a bit today.
