    Gosh.. I was kinda of betting on bad news being good for market later this week. aI bought a little into S (15%) and C fund (20%) today. Maybe a "possible" negative GDP as opposed to just a low number is driving the small dip today. I think number comes out Wednesday. If it actually turns out to be negative I hope it doesn't nosedive. Uggghhhh..... But I am primarily in I fund (50%) at this point. Have never liked this fund but.... I will try to stay invested...it seems promising as does the C fund.

    I Fund was the place to be this month. I was going to go 50:50 S & I for April but chickened out on the last day and went 100% S. Maybe I should develop a method that goes contrarian to my fears.

    Well, turns out my disclaimer non-trading advice wasn't too off the mark many days ago. April was a good month for me overall in combined accounts.

    Two Trillion Euros trading on negative interest rates... a result of Eurozone quantitative easing, could lead to massive default.

    So, we go that going for us!

    Not jumping in today, last time I tried to get in on the 1st for the extra IFT it was disasterous. I think a good entry point is near, though Greece and the whole Eurozone thing has me spooked. Contributions are going into S, so I have a toenail in the water, FWIW. Be careful out there...

    Seems pretty strong out of the gates for a dead cat bounce... thoughts, anyone? Back up or more downside?
