Currently 50% I 50% G. I'm skittish about stocks at the moment (like most of us) and almost moved it all to G today. I feel the market is fairly overbought and drifting. The dollar seems to be holding but I don't believe it will hold if oil breaks $60. I'll try my 50% in the I for one more day and see what happens.

I'm learning a lot from all of your posts. Thanks for all of your input.

I will stay in stocks for tomorrow hoping for a bounce in the I fund. I think the dollar will fall and oil will rebound.

Don't know if I will be in stocks for Wed and Thur. I think the market is drifting so much that Bernakes' remarks could be the impetus for the expected correction. I expect he will be bearish in his remarks reference inflation for the future. Everyone seems to be hanging on any clue to anticipate when to bail out of stocks. I'm cautious right now.

Just my opinion...

I'm Glad to see I fund rebound and the positive move in the USM. It will help my last two session losses if it holds today. I am moving to 50% G and 50% F and will wait for the reactions to Bernankes remarks tomorrow.

I still believe there will be a breather in the US markets soon and remain cautious. We'll see...

11:20 am and all is nice and warm and green. I'm glad everyone is doing well. Even the F fund has a little pop. I hope no wet towels get thrown on the party by the feds.

Don't look down folks.. it's a long way to fall. I'm already too dizzy.

Currently 50% F 50% G moving to the pad today ..100% G.

Wow what a week! As much as I would like to stay in the I fund for Monday.. I have moved to the G fund. I will be out of range on Monday and can't assume that Tuesday will be ok to stay in also. ( I'll be on a long flight and no way to IFT). I'll lick my wounds and come back to fight next week. I think there will be more volatility. FWIW ...since I'll be out of the I fund for Monday, that is a guarantee for it to rebound..

I'll be back in the saddle on Tue.. Have a great weekend. Good luck to all..

I fund is getting a bit rich. I will move back to G fund and wait for a dip.

Getting humbled so far has been educational but costly. Planning on changing my strategy a bit. Not moving so much and DCA'ng a little more. Been in the G-fund most of the week and should probably stay there, but I am going 75% G and 25% I for tomorrow only. Then jump back to the G for monday's penny.

I think downward pressure on the dollar tomorrow will help the I fund. I will reassess next week on my allocation strategy and stick to a plan.

I sit on the comment sidelines too often ( I don't always feel I have much to contribute)...but learn a lot from all of your comments. Keep them coming!!

Well I tried to keep my emotions out of my decisions this week and it paid off. I stayed with my plan and had an up day every day this week. I was lucky enough to be 50 G & 50 F when the drop occurred on Thur. Sure picked a good week to be a little more conservative.

My gut tells me to go with the S fund on Mon. and the sentiment survey is buying next week. My head and my plan tell me to go for the G penny and wait and see what happens on Monday. The I fund is out of the question for me, as I expect a China syndrome meltdown.

So it's off to the G fund for the sure penny for me. Next week should provide some good buying opportunities.

Have a nice weekend and good luck to all.

Well done and ditto!

Spreading it around slower than usual. Currently:
G-20%
C- 30%
S - 20%
I - 30%

Oil concerns me. China talks with US? Narrowing Bollinger Bands on the S&P. Ebb Chart out of stocks tomorrow. All seem to point to a change of winds. I will be careful by the end of the week. Hoping to makes some gains before putting some back into the G. Slowly trying to claw my way out of the basement. Still way down from where I want to be, but the good news is improvement for the last 4 weeks.

Progress not Perfection.

I will try for a bounce in the I fund after last nights drop. It did not do what I expected. I thought the drop would be more dramatic but everyone seems to be shrugging it off. I won't go in full although my gut tells me to.

Currently 20 G, 15 C, 15 S, 50 I.
