Everyone have a great and safe Thanksgiving Weekend. Thank you for being here and for all that you do. You're a special bunch of people and I appreciate all that you're teaching me.

TSP Web Site appeaers to be having some trouble. Processing my allocation change took a bit longer than usual. Suggest not waiting until very last minute or it may not get in.

Happy Holidays

It's been a nice run this week. The charts look good for the I Fund but they looked pretty much the same way last week before the dip so I'm taking what I've learned/earned and pulling out for a bit. Hopefully today we break-even or make a little...

Hmmmm,

VIXis at 12.85 having risen 1.70. My thought is to wait a little closer to the deadline and see what it does. Looks like it's time to duck and cover though.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!! Best of luck in the upcoming week!!

Happy Friday the 13th....

Too weird... for a brief moment EFA, ^GSPC and ^DWCPF were all at .13 Is this a good omen?

The VIX is down to 12.38 which we haven't seen in a while. Hopefully this bears well for the next week.

Don't use "bear" and "next week" in the same sentence. After all it is Friday the 13th..

**Gaetaone** · 04-16-2007, 02:53 PM

VIX out the gate at 11.78, down 3.44%..... That's GREAT to see... Happy hunting everyone...

Not sure if everyone else has received their new TSP Number. I hadn't received mine and was able to have them fax it to me this morning. If you're still waiting it might be a better way to go....

I wanted to thank everyone for puting up a great fight. I know if there's an opportunity in the future to push it again the effort will be there.

I don't post a lot because I always figure that when I'm not in the 50th percentile on the smart scale it's better to shut up, get out of the way, and follow the talent. Over the past few years it's been incredible watching the various strategies soar. Pointman on his "S" run, Ebb on his uncanny way of hitting pretty much every call on the head (this is a long horse race and I'm betting that Ebb is first at the finish line), Griffin, James, Show Me, G Gal, Rokid, Fundsurfer, Gilligan, Birchtree and everyone else. I also can't forget our new meteoric results from todays leaders on the board. You can't even imagine how many people your knowledge has benefitted. Thanks for being here!!

It is what it is and the new rules are on the door step. How do we take two moves and the safety of the G to get in close to the bottom, get out close to the top, and avoid most of the crashes?

My current thought is to start in stocks and as dips approach move incrementally to the G depending upon the verocity of the bear. When the funds soar and there's still bad news about it's time to get out completely. When it appears we're a lot lower and it's time to buy in then back we go. The F fund is probably out of the equation except for prolonged drives. It just can't produce the results over the long term that the others can and now every IFT is precious.

What's everyone thinking? I'm looking forward to seeing the talents of this board continue to spank our TSP Board's dismal expectations.

Raise a glass everyone and toast yourselves!! Nut gets to raise two!! Thanks for letting me hang out here.
