    Default Whipsaw's Account Talk

    Hi Everyone!
    Although my status is 'Newbie,' I've been on this site since '05. Reading the Members Account Talk is a highlight of the day as I work to read the tea leaves in making TSP moves. The account name was appropriate as I have been prone to making some wrong moves at the extremes of the market emotion sign wave, buying high and selling low . At any rate, its about time I showed up... Not that I have any particular insights into the market, but I may be able to add some color commentary .

    Thanks Norman! Will be on the lookout for a better avatar... Like Clester pointed out, many variables in play; does the volatility have us track to the right toward the upper decending trendline, then furhter down? 20% S for the time being...

    No telling what will happen with Syria and all the stupid politics involved.

    Was looking at craigerv's chart... in the longer term it looks as though the market would head south, considering crude oil prices, the taper, o-care's drag on the economy, situation in the ME... Short term? Dunno. I'm kind of getting that feeling I had before the housing market crash... Holding w/20% in S, for now.

    Missed the deadline being in traffic court with my daughter ; still 20% S... I need to get better at charting, looking for some weakness to expand my position, otherwise just bite the bullet and chase with another 30%.

    I like what JTH has to say; a scan of recent headlines indicates the risk of taper and its impact; that on top of OCare taking affect in the next three weeks supports JTHs forecast... no moves as yet, still 20% S...

    The valuation lid is coming off - the potential melt-up has only just begun. September may be my best month this year.

    Missed the deadline today, watched the pause... I have two moves left... I'm up 8% this year which puts me down around 500 were I in the tracker, caught like a deer in the headlights waiting for the Hindenburg to crash most of the summer . 50% S, 50% I sometime tomorrow morning, maybe something less if we continue down (2 moves left). Coolhand saying fundamentals are still strong; Tom pointed out tests of the new highs have broken out all year... FWM is lovin' life... Sensei is in... Birch...
