    Hi Jeff. Thanks for joining us!

    I see you are going 50% G, 50% I. Is that because of expectedweakness in the dollar?

    Good luck!
    Tom

    I am 100%F right now also, but if the I drops any further I'm buying in! I think bonds will rebound .15-.25/share but it might take a couple weeks to a month.

    I'm sitting in the same position. Large caps are getting bought up money likes stability. Small caps tend to follow Large caps There is more risk but greater rewards.

    Some random thoughts...

    After Monday's bloodshed I thought about running for cover but instead all I took off the table was 50%. I owe Tom a thanks for this change in my investment style. Leaving 50% on the table was risky but I view myself as a risk taker. Had the market been down yesterday I would have taken another 25% off. Yesterday ended up for the C & S.

    With the market looking positive before the noon cutoff for IFT, I figured the OSM were due for positive day so I moved the 50% back into the I fund. Today I will see the rewards of that play.

    I'm still very cautious going forward. But as many have said on this MB, the trend remains up.
