Thread: Whipsaw's Account Talk

Yes, Small Caps are a hard sell... but I did it on last day of year and that was a sad day!

I am in 20%S and 30%I fund. Would like to buy more S fund because it looks like it has room to move up (down around 20 on Slow Stochastic) while C and I fund are looking a bit top heavy (above 80 on Slow Stochastic) and keep looking like they might drop but then defy gravity and continue up!!!! lol.....

But no matter how you look at it, the equity charts look good. I was thinking to move into F because we typically have a little drop off after the first week in January but that chart looky no good right now! So I am not doing that ...at least not yet. I would like to see it MACD cross positive on the F fund chart before I move anything there. Maybe when Congress gets back in next week and they start blabbering and fighting...

So for now, sitting tight. The I fund is up at 1.15%+ right now. I was debating exiting just to lock in that gain.. it looks to be gapping up in a huge way... so what goes up must come down eventually. Uggh... decisions decisions....14 minutes.

Best Wishes to you and everyone on your Investments!!!!!!!!

Compared to the American market the "I" fund still has room to grow.

Hey there, I just saw that you live in Hampton Roads. I'm stationed at Langley so we aren't far. I live out in Smithfield and we received a nice bit of snow out here. My '06 Subaru WRX STI enjoyed going for a little journey through the neighborhood this morning.

Hey MaStA! We get up that way on occasion, took the '01 Exploder (AWD) out yesterday only to discover a front end noise when accelerating in the snow... hoping its just a CV joint.

Not getting a good read on the Dollar which has been sliding, apparently up this morning, Europe markets are up, trying to decide on taking a bite of the I; which would be impacted by the dollar if it rallies as predicted. Still disappointed by the S, maybe it will accelerate today? C still outpacing S at this point this morning.

100% G COB - purely speculative and based on the seasonality chart and the highs being made. Worst case I'll get back in on Monday or Tuesday with a new allocation.

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 12/31/2017 is 11.37%. Not toooo shabby...

This freight train has to reverse soon...Probably a good move for today. I want to take a bigger position but I'll wait for a pullback I guess.

Whipsaw, I think you did right. I agonized over whether to stay in or not, and didn't exit. I don't like these run up at the close on Friday days. Usually followed by a plunge the next week. Especially don't like the S, which opened up, down to touch the opening, and then acellerated up at the close. That kind of activity is usually a sign that the last holdout buyers are desperate to buy so they don't miss the train, and the train has already left the station.

If I had exited today, I'd be up 2% for the month, or about 20 to 25% of my yearly goal. Would have been the prudent thing to do.

Here's hoping I'm wrong and we're on a steady upgrade next week!

Well, the open makes your move look even better. That's what I was afraid of when I saw the ascending close on Friday.

Well, that dip lasted all of 4 hours. I hate Mondays, gets too busy... I'll likely be back in on Wednesday now, C and I mostly, with some S...

I swear, its like changing lines in the supermarket! I move out of S and it takes off! ;swear
