No more lurking in the shadows. Currently at 50% S and I, but I have to admit I cancelled a xfer at 11:54 that would have put me at 100%G.

Have the hope that this ride will last at least another day.

U.S. Stocks Rise as Oil's Rally Stalls; Advanced Micro Gains

By Nick Baker
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks rose after a rally in oil prices stalled, renewing confidence that the economy will weather a slowdown prompted by two years of Federal Reserve interest-rate increases.
It's a ``decent environment for stocks,'' said Doug Sandler, chief equity strategist at Wachovia Securities Inc. in Richmond, Virginia. ``There seems to be mounting evidence that the Fed is navigating a soft landing'' for the economy.
The gains were limited by concern that Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, will defy a United Nations plan to halt uranium enrichment, risking economic sanctions and disrupting supplies.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc., the world's second-biggest maker of personal-computer processors, led the advance after announcing a plan to win business customers. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the largest U.S. tiremaker, gained after JP Morgan Chase & Co. recommended the shares.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 1.49, or 0.1 percent, to 1299.01 at 10:10 a.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 14.08, or 0.1 percent, to 11,359.13. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 5.39, or 0.3 percent, to 2153.14.
The S&P 500 is up 1.6 percent this month as investors have bet that the Fed won't push the economy into recession.

These subtle moves don't have me stampeded yet, so gonna let it ride at 50/50 S and I for at least one more day...

Saw the Housing report and watching the slide, so moved to 100% I as of COB today.

Flip a coin... I'm hoping that what is bad for US Markets is good for international... at least through the weekend.

**CyberSamurai** · 08-28-2006, 05:27 PM

Oil down this morning, and as of 12:26 EST the market was up... Hope to see it last a couple days.

Initially I stayed with the I fund out of pure spite, hated losing that last 11 cents or whatever it was... So, have been on top of this last upswing, just undecided on when to get out... It may be that with it being a "vacation" week I will stay in through the 1st of September.
