    Hey ExtremeWX, You're getting in during a really volatile time. Out of the market is a good place to be right now. HOwever, if your out, and the President and congress come up with a bailout, stocks will sky rocket and you will be out of the money and the F fund will tank. But if you're in and the market doesn't like the result, the market will tank and you will be in and lose big. IF you're in the F fund, it may go up and you will be out of the money. Welcome to the game "betting on your future and retirement. Then, again, if you buy and hold, you may lose tens of thousands and not do anything about it like in 2001, 2002. Pay attention and you may come out even when you retire....maybe even make a few bucks. Good luck!!!

    A little change in plans for me...
    I like 12% thinking that the FED will only cut .25, I think there will be a selloff today, so I'm going 50% G and 50% S for Thursday trading hoping for a small bounce.

    Congrats on your #2 ranking. If nsurf9 stays in I much longer you may take #1 from him. GL

    Thanks for the congrats.
    I think of myself of knowing very little about investing, but I read this board daily to try to get smarter. I'm very suprised by my rating. So far my best reason for success is that I've been mostly out of the market and occasionally jump in after a big sell off.

    Good luck.
