Did my time post correctly?

Don't know about your time posting correctly, but your account entry was by the deadline. Your IFT move will be entered into the Weekly Tracker for tonight's COB fund prices. I do allow some leeway with posts in accounts that are late by minutes.

I just made a 50/50 split on the S/I for a short term look. I noticed many of you are throwing some funds in C. It appears the S&P may be a little more over valued than the rest of the funds. What am I missing, am I off base? (Could be since I am not doing that hot this month)

Participants throwing money at the C fund - blasphemy I say. Obviously there is a .... born every minute - except for you, Retire. I've bee accused of being tendentious regarding the C fund. And IMHO you are missing it.

I am always looking to see the world from different eyes. What sector(s) of the S&P do you think will drive gains, this is the area I am struggling with. While I may be missing the boat, It is because th fog is too thick for me to see through. Any inputs would be appreciated.

Probably the financial stocks which have a weighting of 23% and then there will be additions and deletions going forward for commodity stocks which are in a secular play. Also the SPX has a 40% position in the export businesses.

Thanks, finacial and Emerging markets are two that I have not factored in. Both good sectors with some growth along what looks to be a roller coaster ride.

How will tripple witching this Friday affect funds?

I see some folks moving out to G. Is this primarily a capital preservation move to protect earnings for the year, or do you feel we have hit the highs?

I tend to think this week will be a little up to sideways, am I off?
