Nimrod1193's Account Talk

Hello everyone. I just discovered this site recently and it has been an incredible source of information for me. I just put in my transfer request to go 100% G Fund this morning (it should be effective at close of business today.) I just think that we are due for a correction after the fantastic run-up we have had in the market lately. Before that I was 50% C Fund, 50% S Fund. According to Tom's spreadsheet, I am up 17.18% YTD.

With the NASDAQ closed on Tuesday and the NYSE likely following suit, that's too many non-trading days in a row for my liking, especially with all indicators pointing to an end to this incredible run-up, so I'll be practicing my duck-and-cover drills under my desk in the G-Fund.

Depending on how the markets end up today, I wil be up roughly 19.7% for the year. Not too shabby. Happy New Year to all.

Well, the market got shelled today, so my final number for the year is +19.09%.

Happy New Year!

The charts were indicating that the S-Fund was oversold and due for a rally, but I am still a little wary and only went 35% S yesterday. Unless things turn around later today, it looks like the charts were right. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

good move Nim..I was looking at that too, but was a little more wary, only went in 20%

I went 30% C, 30% S, 40% I for tomorrow. the EFA is showing the same oversold indicator that the S Fund did yesterday and hopefully the rally in U.S. stocks will move overseas for tomorrow.

We're Number 14! We're Number 14!

Hmmm...that didn't sound as good as I thought it would.

If I had committed to my two big decisions last week and gone 100% S and I on Thursday and Friday, I'd have been up over 2.3%. Oh well, 1.33% MTD ain't bad.

LOL Sound much better than "I'm 127th".

Be careful when you go into the land of "what if's", it will drive you nuts. However, reflect on why you didn't do these things - embrace the pain of your mistakes - pain is a great teacher

.

Last year I went from 20 something to 1, back to 20 something and finally ended up 3rd. Don't rest on your laurels and don't despair from your mistakes. Happy trading.
