There is no rule six!
No change today. If the market looks down again tomorrow morning, watch out.
100% F Fund today.
I'm right with you Namor, except I'm thinking this market might drop all week. I got burned on this deal back in April when the market peaked then went down 40+ cents in 3 days. I'm thinking this might drop real quick and scare everyone out then come shooting up again. Currently 100% G and smiling!If only we had that crystalball.
The market has dropped so much today, I made a last minute decision based on a gut feeling and went to the S Fund.
Hope this works out for me. I can't resist when the market falls more than a percent.
I know what you mean I'm going to set out I have anice gain and will preserve my funds. The funds have peaked and if C can hold 1115 tomorrow then I might make a play other wise I'll let the bears eat! Nothing worse then a hungry Bear. Good Luck to you!:^
We might lose a lot more than 1% if this continues. :shock:
Strange. I made a last-minute decision against all my better judgment and requested an interfund transfer to 50 F / 50 G. I don't know if I was able to sneak it in before the deadline or not - it was close. Now I don't expect more long-term weakness this fall - I'm just hoping to capitalize on a short-term plunge to buy back my stock fund shares at a much lower price.
I decided to go toe to toe with the markets and am playing the S fund for two straight days.
Hope I don't get knocked on my can!
Cmon S fund. Pick up today and rebound tomorrow!
Can someone check my math? (The reason I'm asking is because I'm using a modified version of Tom's spreadsheet and the trade date is important. I think I've got it straight but wanted to make sure. namors account is a good check cause he has tracked his trades well and has made a bunch of them.)
For the month, I've got namor at 1.13%
For the month, I've got 0.28% G, 0.68% F, 0.68% C, 2.07% S, & 1.29% I. (If you compare my numbers to tspmoney.com I'm right on except they start the month from 8/31 and I started calculating for namor on 9/1...If I started from 8/31 my numbers match tspmoney.com.)
namor, how about giving us a little bit of a clue as to your decision making process.

Fundsurfer:
I am not tracking my percentage, but I know from my daily balance how well I am doing.
I posted my strategy earlier in the Short Term Strategies category:
"I never stay more thana couple days in a single fund. I retreat to G and F if I feel that I need to wait and see. If a fund goes down for more than two days, I try to play the bounce. Rarely do the funds drop day after day after day, so if you get lucky and time things right, you can come out ahead of any single fund."
That is why I termed my strategy Vegas/Boxer. . . its a gambler's strategy of looking at fluctuations. I look at all the funds. If one drops a little more than the others, then I will try to play its 'bounce.' I check the price of oil, whether there is earnings news, Fed news, any reports coming up and try to time it right, kind of like looking over a Daily Racing Form before a big stakes race.
Its not really a system. Its more of a calculated gamble.
Good luck in your investment decisions.
Between rounds:
Cmon, namor, don't let him keep hitting you with that left! Throw some more punches!

OKay, I am going back out there for more!(I left it in the S Fund)
