    From 2/01 to 5/7 the C, S, I funds have had the following highs and lows (in terms of share prices), and I have included yesterday's numbers

    C: $26.19 - $28.07 ($27.74)

    S: $35.90 - $38.90 ($37.76)

    I: $24.60 - $27.04 ($26.34)

    So if the morning highs hold, all three funds might end up at their 3 month highs. I am thinking about jumping out as a result. Thoughts?
    Been meaning to reply... I couldn't jump Friday, but I bailed the following Monday, 5/11.

    Waiting for the next "BigJohn-gut-churnin'-market-signal" to jump back in.

    It just doesn't feel right, but I've had that feeling for about 2-3 years and the market has played me like I've got "Charms" written across my chest.

    I like the no nonsense analysis buddy... Good stuff.

    Hi! I went all in this morning (G to the S)... I can't point to anything that indicates the economy is in bad shape overall...rate hike included. I think the real battle is between the Fed and the huge investment houses, who want the Fed lending rate to stay where it is. Every time the idea of a hike starts to surface, the market tanks...which makes me wonder about the influence the big players on WS have.

    I hope some of my old friends on TSPTALK are still around...I plan on being a little more active moving forward.

    Best of Luck to All!

    You may end up being VERY happy with that move...Gunner has been amazing this year and I just read his latest piece where over the weekend he was predicting the $NDX would back test his "dome" at 4657...and where did it bottom yesterday morning?...4657!

    11092016

    In Elliott wave terms, today may have just been a deep wave 2 retest, and now it's up and away from here....or not, who knows.
    My system would have allowed me to get back in today, but I didn't pull the trigger. If I'd read that article sooner I might have.

    I am headed to the sidelines...just scared of what the next week might do, takes me out until October 1...which I don't like. Two interfund transfers a month stinks!

    Knowing my luck...an afternoon rally will wipe out yesterday's losses and my "dip-buy" will turn out to be bust.

    Headed to the sidelines...bought the S on 10/12 at $38, hopefully the morning holds and I will sell at $41.80.

    Still optimistic for the rest of 2017, just wanted to turn my paper gains into $ gains.

    Best of Luck!

    Back in the days of unlimited moves in the TSP, I would have jumped back in this morning. But alas, those days are long gone. I am going to be a bit more active this year, playing my "jump in on big down mornings and jump out on big up mornings" game. I know, it is the catch a falling knife dilemma, but I enjoy it.

    Best of luck to everyone...let's make some money!

    And here is my ugly morning...jumped back into the S Fund. If we don't have a late rally, should get a nice entry point. Best of Luck!

    Not a good day today. I came close to pulling the trigger to "G" on the 4th. Sure wish I had listened to that nagging doubt.
    May the force be with us.
