    Default Chemmie's Account Talk

    Right now I am 100% G since last Friday as I saw the down coming with my "system". Intermediate-term is upward. My goal is to minimize losses while being a fairly active "day-to-day" trader. I started in late January and am up for the year so far even with the huge down in late Feb.

    Anyone wonder why we have three funds that all follow each other? Wouldnt it be better to have at least 3 differently behaving funds to choose from? Yes, you can argue F is the counter-weight to C, S, I but it feels more like a riskier G to me.

    The perfect counter-weight would be a hedge or short fund.

    Just think of all the whining that would be going on now if the 'real estate fund' had been instituted. I admit to being caught up in the desire to have such a fund. Probably won't be a call for that one anytime soon.
