    After several attempts I think I finaly got this right... I wish I had found this site several years ago. I have stayed in that G fund far to long!

    Still searching for a few more $$$. Going 40c 40s and 20I before noon today. This is a lot like a Poker game.

    Trying to get back my loss from yesterday. Going 40C 30S 30I by noon today. I was looking for some sort of bounce after 2 yesterday but it did not come . Will let it ride here for several days. Hope I am on the right track.

    I agree about the analogy to a "poker game", at least my activity is. LOL!

    Looks like I had a good hand yesterday, I will try 20C 40S and 40I before noon today and hope for the best. I am just itching to say "all In".

    There has to be a method to this madness... Out of G and dumping 40% into F based on what I have been reading in some of the posts.. Will stay with 30C and 30I to try and cover my bases... are we having fun yet?

    Decided to back off some and stick some back in the G fund. (chicken) went 65g 5c 10s and 20i before noon today. The graphs just do not look that good to me. Waiting for a better hand.
