Thread: sgtbriangreen's account talk

I agree with you James, but here is a cautionary note. It is a lot of people thinking like this that eventually leads to irrational exuberance, so I would also keep my eye on the market and be ready to punch out before the inevitable fall.

The million dollar question is when is that? No one knows, but I think it will be when the market insiders realize not everything will be coming up roses under the current administration's policies.

Agree 100%

Wow what a jump this morning. Im 50S 50C. Wondering if I should go to G today and lock the gain. I would still have 1 IFT left to jump back in towards the end of the month. All this 15 MAR international stuff makes me worry a little.

I agree James E. Can't be too conservative. Especially after a year like last year's annual return rate.

Not trying to be greedy, but more would be better to give me a good buffer for the rest of the year. If I bail today (and today's gains stay where they are or better), that would put me at just over 2% YTD which is where I want to be at the end of FEB. If I go to G today, I am done for the month. Got an hour to decide.

I think you should go with your gut. My thoughts mirror yours, but I'm straddling the fence right now. "Should I stay or should I go!"

Just moved to all G. Still plenty of time to get back in. 1% swings make me nervous especially when I am all in.

2nd IFT for March. 25% G, C, S, & I. Wanted to save both April IFTs for moving things around or putting the other 25% in. Got 2 chances to rebalance and bail.

Will this be a pop and drop or another Brexit type rally? Still sitting 25% CSI and wondering if today is the day to bail, rebalance, or just hang tight.

Sold my I fund COB today. Now 50G, 25S, 25C. Still have 1 IFT to move stuff later this week if I need to.

Open gaps still on the CSI. F in a bear flag. Poor GDP numbers. FOMC report today. Jobs report Friday. French election this weekend. Meeting all day tomorrow and a day of leave on Friday. Thinking about bailing to G. I think the gaps will need to get filled before it goes much higher. That would probably kick off an oversold rally.

I think Im going to hold where I am at 25% C and S. It looks like the S dipped to either fill that gap or almost fill it, but has bumped back up to the 20. The C is bouncing at the bottom of the bull flag and looks to be holding.
