Thread: Considering jumping into S fund.

  1. #1

    Default Considering jumping into S fund.

    Considering jumping into the S fund for a quick in & out. My intent was to move to the G fund for January and jumping in to the S fund around early Feb. But with the drop caused by China, I can't help but think it is will spring back up like last what? October?....

    Would like to hear back but please, talk English, I am not a finance major so know nothing of most of the jargon talk here. I'm lucky to have a rudimentary understanding of what Bulls and Bears are. So, please, keep it stupidly simple. Thanks

    What is the TREND? Is it up or down, down is the right answer. Sometimes a one or two day turnaround will reverse and the suckers will dive in and down she goes. I don't know when it will happen or if it will, you have to make your own decision. I will wait for conformation that the turn around is real before I reinvest.

    The worst outcome would be a reversal of todays premarket pop. If we do it could get real ugly.

    One option is to put in a small position at this level and let that ride (assuming the markets at some point return to this level and higher). If it goes lower add more, if it goes up, you got some shares on sale.
