    Hang in there Whipsaw. It's happened to all of us. At least you are not in the F fund...

    I often make that analogy when in stop and go traffic.

    You're not alone Whipsaw. I was 100S and jumped out 100G Tuesday last week.

    Futures are down! So, I bailed a little early, that said the S-Fund wasn't doing anything for me. How much of a dip do we get?

    That is always the million dollar question, when to buy the dip. DOW opened with a 100 point loss, but seems to be fighting back. Markets are down on news that China will no longer purchase our debt.

    I told myself I was going to stay invested this year, adjusting allocation as performance dictates; and here I am on the sidelines. :-/ Moving back in with a C/S split of some kind.

    Let's just hope that you just missed the correction of 2018 yesterday.

    I got sidetracked again, may as well be Monday! In for a dime, in for a dollar... its going to cost more to get back in, better in and earning though. Maybe the 10% pullback will be tomorrow =:-o

    First time I've really panicked. I got out of S Fund last Thursday thinking I would speculate a little bit but it kept going up. Finally got back in on Tuesday knowing I should ride it out as it had only been three more days but I overwhelmingly felt the need to ride this a little longer. Goes against everything I've been trying to accomplish since I have gotten on this site about a year ago. Just want to say to you and all the regular posters thanks for all of the insight you have been providing.
