    Default CountryBoys's Account Talk

    I’m just sittin up my accounts as per the “Newbie’s read me first instructions”. I went G45, C5, S30 and I20, before noon today and as for my philosophy, besides “buy low and sell high” and a gut feeling, is still evolving as I learn more from ya’ll and I’m always open to suggestions. Thanks for being here for us neophytes.

    I thought I'd begin using the F fund also as a place to put some table money, we'll see how that does. Not quite on the paranoia express for Aug 22, but I got my tickets and will probably board next Monday morning.

    G45%
    F30%
    S10%
    I15%

    I went 40%F and 60%I, which I wished I'd done last Friday, just didn't have the guts. Still gotta wade in slowly before I make the jump to the C, S or I 100%. Yep Nnuuts, another fellow lemming here, but it sure does beat what I was doing before I found this site.

    But I gotta say, it sure does the old blood flowing to the noon buildup.

    Not sure which way to jump, so I just fell into my default mode, 20%G, 10%F, 30%C, 30%S, 10%I, to spread the pain or the gain, but gut says gain, so more into the stocks.

    I sure enjoyed the ride the past 2 days at 100% (if the I holds today), but getting cold feet so I dropped back to 60% G and 40% I.

    Went 50% G and 50% S. I'm still bullish, but like FS said, I've fought back from May and then some, so a little CP and kept some on the table.
