With the dollar being up today, this won't set well with the I Fund. I was hoping to get in and out of the dragon's lair undetected and the arkenstone intact, but it appears that Smaug has awakened and I am about to get my tail feathers burnt...

I'm going to ride the coaster into early April and see what happens.

For instance, 2/20 thru 2/24 S Fund was minus 0.11%. The following week it was up only 0.07%. Then on 3/6 thru 3/10 it was down 1.68% for the week and last week only gained back 1.54%.

With that said, I am expecting the pattern to continue with another down week this week and a gain next week, but not quite enough to cover the loss. So I'm calling my shot until the market proves me wrong.

Good luck!!!

Hey Whipsaw, I just looked at the weeklies and last week the S fund was down 2.29% and so far this week it is up 1.79%. Looks like the pattern is continuing and if it holds, next week should be down...Hmm perhaps a good reason for me to get out completely.

Also, I was glad to see the I fund gave us a little gain today. I was worried it was going to be down with the dollar gaining today.

The positive number this morning was a surprise, I'll take it. Yesterday after the market closed I was expecting some negative numbers for my spreadsheet.

Good luck everybody.

Yes, liking the positive return in the I fund, my spreadsheet puts me back in the black, AT at -.77, 5 from the bottom. :-( Not sure what the disconnect is. At any rate, we're at resistance in a few places, tops of the channels, some lower highs on the charts. Possibly another leg down is due? Hey! Its Friday! Looking for a good spot to buy!

Well, I have read that price tends to fade on the last day of a quarter in the afternoon... after the cut off. So, now that I am recalling that, I may hold off for exit until next week. I guess if I missed exit and it drops more next week, I will just need to buy in more at the next drop. I am determined to not exit with a loss... not sure how much nail biting will go on .....

I missed the gap down in the I-fund today, thankfully...

Futures are down... various comments in the Market Videos point to sell signals; lower highs and lower lows... article at the link points to the Russel 2000 as a canary in the coal mine for further downside action. Cooling my heels on the lilly pad, I'm going to get the bends if I ever get off the bottom of the AT

Well, futures are liking the jobs report... does this kick off a rally, and will it have legs?
