    Out of town the past two days watching the action on my cell. Was able to put in the IFT 25 C, 15 S, 10 I, 50 G, cob today via my cell... IFT in the tracker was 2 minutes late, sorry... :-/

    Putting in a 50% position, if it goes lower, I'll buy more... we shall see... Good move RF!

    Glad to see you were able to jump in today WS. I thought about diversifying a little more and throwing some at the S Fund, but decided the risk wasn't worth the reward. My thinking on that is that with the failure of Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, small caps took the brunt of the hit and will continue to do so until Congress gets on the stick...Okay, enough of the political BS...

    Nice open! Would like to see a relief rally... the question is, put more in today and then bail for the month after a few days of gains? Or... Hold through the next bout of weakness and buy more then... Or... ?

    This is my plan. I got in the S Fund COB Friday and am up 1%. I will hold for a few more days and get back out. If I can make 2 or 3% I will be happy.

    I put in 50% thinking we'd see a DCB and more downside, now we get a robust bounce. I can see a few days of gains if this NK thing falls off the news cycle... Hmmmm...

    It is very tempting to throw some more coin at this rally, especially the S Fund. However, in doing so I would be buying in at a higher price than I did on Friday. Nope, my strategy for the months of August and September are to invest no more than 50%. So with that, I will be happy with the gains I anticipate to make with a 50% investment, try to time my exit close to the high point (thinking 2500 in the S&P) and then sit back and wait for the next pullback...

    As Hannibal used to say on the old tv series The A-Team, "I love it when a plan comes together".

    Good luck all!!!

    I figured, if my next move is to get out, I may as well throw the rest in!

    Yeah, we definitely grew up in an era of great cartoons! I really feel sorry for the kids today.

    Okay, let's rally to the close!!!
