John
One of the things I value about you is that you explain things in a way that all the "little people" (myself included) can understand.

Thanks for sharing, even if you are stuck in "G".

From my Yukon Blend Coffee Grounds: I am smelling a late day sell-off...

(or it could be my egg salad that I forgot to refrigerate...)

As long as the Wishire 4500 closes below 703.55 but maintains its higher high/low, I'll be satisfied.

A nice strong finish across the board...CONGRATS to all who were in the market, especially those who weathered the last week with little to point to as encouraging.

And on a completely unrelated note...this is one of the best articles I have read in years...those with daughters (like me), pay particular attention>

Finally!!! Been wondering what your next move would be if you were here. It's has been like waiting for the sage of Omaha's next move.

The "sage" has been grinding his teeth for the last 3 weeks regretting burning up the IFT's so early in the month, but it was a good lesson and didn't cost me anything... Decided to stick with my plan, S fund was down 1.25% right before the deadline...so I went in. As has been the case recently, the S is now clawing back some of the loss...oh well. Still over 12% for the year and now have a reason to pay more attention.

It was a tough call...and against my plan for the year. However, the S was taking more of a hit pre-deadline and has been the workhorse for the year. So I thought I would throw in with the masses...hope they don't mind the company.

I care, I am a bit surprised with this entry, but who am I to doubt the moves of someone whose proven to be a consistent "duh" winner? I didn't have enough data to give me what I needed to make an entry, perhaps tonight I'll be closer to making a decision. You're move may be brilliant
