    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". :toung:

    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.

    My Eight O'Clock grounds said: Buy American.
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.

    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>

    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
