    Well based on the differentials its either in with stocks or go 100%G. The C fund and S fund prices are nearly at thier lowest points since June 1st. Do they continue to drop or are they on the way up? Thats the question. I am going to go 100%G for tomorrow based on Frizz B. differentials and the fact that there are several indicators coming out this week. I have a feeling these indicators are not going to be good numbers and you know what that does to the market, Down!

    I believe that if the week starts down and rises with Friday finishing the week with gains, it is a sign of a bull market. I do not know how much credit to give that axiom, though, but it does generally seem to be the case.

    Day trading is not something that is rational for the long term. I think that everyone on this site should try assest allocation. By moving your money around on a daily bassis many of you lose more than you gain in the long run. Just a thought.

    I don't think most people are trading daily. Once or maybe twice a month is all I do. And trust me, it helps a lot. :P

    heh

    "Buy-and-hold forever" and day-trading mutual funds are the two opposing extremes. MM is right in that a few times in a month at most is the happy medium and best risk/reward-wise. "Market timing" rather than "day-trading".


    You are correct in that trading too much can diminish your returns. I've done it to a small degree, but, it is all part of learning. Expecting to be right every time is simply not going to happen, but, the times one is really right can really pay off.
