    I went 100% F today, and it appears that I'll be the only person in the F tomorrow. Did I just make a hughe mistake?

    Looks like a good play if your into capital preservation mode.

    BTW, great work over in the "I" thread.

    Thanks Jeff,

    I was betting on weak EC data. I knew the dollar would fall on weak data but I was afraid the markets might fall with it. I stayed itn the F fund for tomorrow on the same reason. I'm expecting GDP to come in at around 1.4%, which is lower than expected.

    If I'm right about GDP, the dollar will fall big. But the USM might fall thinking we are closer to a recession.

    And as we all know, the F fund is a good place to be when the economy is heading towards a recession.

    Unhappy Re: 350zCommtech's Account Talk

    My husband, the SMALL BUSINESS MAN, has been telling me for months that we are going into a recession.

    He bases this on: collections on account grow more difficult with each passing month. People are still buying, but not paying so great. When it gets really bad, they will stop buying.

    He, in case anybody gives a cr@p, sells products and service to other small businesses.

    He swears he knew about the 2000 fiasco 6 months before the news media reported it.

    Of course, it's all a matter of perception.

    History has shown that the markets will rally 2-3 months into recession. It could be a lagg, disconnect, or just plain "a suckers rally".

    I'm not about to go into a buy and hold or capital preservation mode just yet.

    The F fund does look comfy now......I'm surprised no one else thought of it. Don't be shocked if people start joining you.
