Probably going to hold 50% cash, 50% stocks until I either see a large dip, or a rise within a percent or 2 of previous market highs. In either scenario, I'll be beating buy and holders.

I can see where 50% of a penny would mean something to you.

I missed the penny anyways, but oh well, I would have went 50% G either way. So far, it looks like being in 50% G may pay off slightly today, but still 2 hours to go.

Oh, what the heck, I'm pulling back to 40% stocks, 60% cash.

Enough pussyfooting around, I'm all in 100% stocks for Monday.

Yea, I'm not doing all that bad with my strategy, but I'm just starting to think I'm betting against myself some of the time. Being in 50% stocks, 50% out is like betting on both sides, and always ends up being a win-lose situation. I'm going to start making more dramatic moves and either win or lose on a day-to-day basis.

Buy and hold from here on out. I'm doing ok with this timing stuff. Either slightly ahead or slightly behind the market each year, but it's simply not worth the effort anymore. I am a now convert to BAH.
Thanks Birchtree.

Welcome to buy and hold, but I noticed you don't own any of the best fund. That fund being the C fund - it's destined to be the next outperformer.

The below comment was posted in your account thread this morning. You forgot to indicate the fund allocations you are using for the Buy And Hold (BAH). I will delete this entry by 12:30 pm today if you do not correct/update it to show the fund allocation you are using. Comments are not allowed in your account thread. The last fund allocation you posted was 25% G, 25% F, 25% S, 25% I (4-23-2007). Is this the BAH allocation? Do you want to remain in the Weekly Tracker?

I can pretty much guarantee huge gains over the coming weeks. No brainer here.
