    Well, the Elephant dance continues with the President hitting the dance floor again for another spin. Thankfully he dropped the tariff intents after the market close allowing time to digest. Looks like we're fighting out of the low open, low jobs report doing the bad news is good news for the market likely staving off interest rate hikes. Holding position, for now...

    Do payday buy's go in at Thursday's close, or Friday's open?

    OK, discretion being the better part of valor; we may close up, or flat today, but apparently the tariff dance off isn't over yet, and hopefully things remain quiet today. Taking profits, 3% and #48 on the tracker and 15% for the past 12 mo. in TSP.

    You need to check your TSP account for that answer, look under recent transactions.
    For me my payday is the 2nd Thursday of each pay period but my TSP deposit is the 2nd Monday, 3 days before payday.
    No matter what day the deposit is you'll get that day's closing price. You can see both the dollars and number of shares under each "recent transaction".

    I see your luck was as bad as mine on my recent exit. The morning I exited the market was up, but by the close the market had tanked. Man I hate that stupid noon eastern IFT deadline.

    Well, that move to the sidelines didn't go as planned. And now futures are up (but falling)... Now to see if the sidelines is the place to be. What are the odds of another leg down? Charting types are saying odds are good, now that I'm on the lily pad, probably not so much. We shall see.

    Man, Friday's exit with a 2% skid doesn't look so bad now... I was pretty torqued at noon time today! :-/

    Was looking hard at a move in, could see a run to the highs from here... then the phone rang... then the clock said 11:59... then, a minute past, then another minute.. and another... past... Most AT moves are to G, maybe I was saved by the bell?

    Futures are down on the geopolitical things going on. Maybe a dip buy opportunity?
