I did not catch that post on the first read. I agree with you about the competition issue. Competition is a great motivator (procrastination to the point of panic is my other personal favorite

) - If I wasn't in the military - I would be a dope smoking hippie, which brings me to the other point

It is a little hard to take a S&S seriously - but then again, why should you trust anyone on a free website? She's like the Oracle of Delphi and I'm not going to knock it, luck favors the bold.

Sorry FS for hi-jacking your thread. I'll release it now.

Me too, I apologize -

FS, your the only beating her, do you watch what she does? you mentioned that her good luck trumps your bad luck - do you think it is all luck or some skill?

**FundSurfer** · 08-30-2006, 08:43 PM

Nope... all interesting read...

No, I respect what S&S does and do not account everything as luck. The statement I made about her good luck trumping my bad was meant more as a statement of my bad luck when it has come to FV's. She has said that some of the moves she made were because she was hoping to catch the right end of an FV. If you look at when she made those moves, it was going into the I-fund not out. I think that Barclay's is over guessing the FV's so that tact may be very smart indeed. Besides, she can be very entertaining...

Do I watch her? Yes I watch everyone who is doing well...

I'm sitting here playing with spreadsheets and daydreaming about this weekend. I'm in safe harbor (G-fund) for now and thinking I got out too early. It's easy to Monday morning QB your own moves. I have to stay in G now since I don't want to be in the market for Tuesday at this point. If the market was diving I'd be considering it, but it isn't. Y'all have a nice weekend.

The drop has occurred that I was looking for. I'm possibly jumping in a little early which is why I didn't go in 100%. I'm also spread between CSI to help spread the risk. If tommorrow is down again I'll probably push in the rest.

**sugarandspice** · 09-07-2006, 04:47 PM

I was feeling the same way about jumping in. Decided to wait 1 more day though. I jumped in too early about 10 days ago but still managed to amke a little anyway. I think that made me wait this time and if it is flat to down tomorrow I will probably go all in.

Fundsurfer,
Sorry for the intrusion. I tried to stop her but it was too late.

Not much driving the market tomorrow. Have;
OIL is looking pretty good now days, little more drop may lift the market some. Consumer Credit report shouldn't effect the market unless the predictions are way off, so tomorrow may be kinda flat, unless something that we don't know about happens, as always.

Consumer Credit

Importance (A-F): This release merits a D-.
Source: Federal Reserve.
Release Time: 15:00 ET on the fifth business day of the month (data for two months prior).
Raw Data Available At: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G19/Current/.

This monthly measure of consumer debt is volatile and subject to massive revisions. It is also released well after every other consumer spending indicator, including weekly chain store sales, auto sales, consumer confidence, retail sales, and personal consumption. For these reasons, the market almost never reacts to the consumer credit report.

The late day sell off has me wishing I'd waited... Oh well, I'll still have 30% with which to buy on further pullback.

**FundSurfer** · 09-08-2006, 03:18 PM

Buying back in cheaper than I sold so a successful trade. Now I'll sit and wait for it to rebound back up. I've chosen a diverse allocation since my interenet access may be spotty next week. If I had good access and knew I could easily bail, I'd probably gone 100% I or 50S, 50I.

**FundSurfer** · 09-14-2006, 01:59 PM

C&S Funds reaching the top of their channels and seeing resistance, I'll probably reduce the amount I have of those 2 funds. I-fund near bottom of its channel. It would be tough to buy more I-fund since it follows the US lead typically and I think US is headed lower (short term). However, I think the dollar is headed lower still (it dropped some this morning already), I may go ahead and increase the amount of I-fund I currently have since it may still out produce the G-fund.

It's good to be back in front of a computer... I'm glad I got lucky while away.

**FundSurfer** · 09-14-2006, 03:01 PM

Ended up going 100%G. US markets have not rebounded from this morning and foriegn markets may close lower tommorrow as a result. I'll likely stay on the sidelines till middle of next week unless the I-fund shows signs of life at which time I'll jump on board the I-fund.
