Interesting Rod. Is this a pattern you've noticed?

It may be. I simply looked at the returns since May for each fund on each day of the week,then averaged which fund made out that day.

I'll stick with it for a couple weeks and see how it does. Then either adjust as needed, or simply scrap it.

Those thursdays ultimately use to be bad.

U game plan look good to me,let keep track.

I may jump before nov.1st let watch and see.

If I see a big down day, may jump in...

good luck

Rod, I too think you have an interesting idea. However, would you clarify the times? For example, Monday's 100G means you putthe change orderin on Friday or you changed it in time for Tuesday? It does seem to me that we do better on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Like today!

It means I will put the change in on Friday to be 100%Gfor Monday... and so forth.

BTW, when I was doing my averaging, Tuesday was a VERY STRONG day overallfor the S Fund.

Sigh... I became so busy today that I forgot to make my Wednesday transfer of:

30 G 50 S 20 I

That means I shall remain 100%S. After today's gains, hopefully it will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

We shall see.:^

A blessing in disguise it was!:^

Once again, this is just a "system" I am tweaking. I don't use any fancy charts, or fancy math. I simply looked at the gains & losses in each fund since May, then averaged them out. I will continue to use this system the next few weeks and see how it pans outthen tweak it if necessary.

I may deviate through the election, though.

I'm 5 hours ahead of EST!

Soon to be 4...:dude:

I am quite satisfied I was 100%G for today, Thursday. Although there was little gain, it was still too close to the red for me.

According to my system, Thursdays are usuallydown or have very little gains. I would much rather error on the side of "very little gains" than end upin the red.

God Bless:^

rod, i did look at your theory, thats the way i read it to. I also looked at the 5 day charts for few different weeks and it showed the same. may give it a try in a week or two. worth a shot

**Rod** · 10-29-2004, 08:17 AM

At least I'll be 100%G Monday for the penny pick-up.:^

I may very well deviate from my system on election day and remain 100%G until further notice due to new threats of terrorism. But I won't be out for too long, depending on how the market reacts post-election.

God Bless
