I am conservative by nature and that translates into my investment philosophy. Not ultra-conservative, but not what I would consider aggressive. As such, I am currently 100% G and looking to buy (at least partially) back in at some point. I gave it some consideration on Tuesday when the market started much lower, but couldn't quite pull the trigger. I was successfully able to secure a 2% gain during the latter half of January investing 50% in the C fund. I guess I am looking for similar opportunities.

Here here for the good ole country boys!!

I, like big D, am conservative by nature, and was 100 G until Tuesday when I did buy in 33% C. Not sure when (if) to push a few more chips in...

Welcome BigD.

With some reluctance, moved 30% into C today. I am hopeful that we will see a small rally next week in which I would get back out. So, I am now 70G/30C with one move left in Feb.

bigD --

We are in about the same place now -- I'm 33%C, 67% G as of Tuesday, after having been 100%G. I'm looking for a rally also to get back out, but -- barring that, a fall into the upper 600s or low 700s would likely prod me into pushing a bit more of my chips into C.

Steve,

I can't disagree with you there. 780s-800 and I am likely back out (was hoping for more of a dip today). I like your buying range on the other end.

Where's Bubba?

BigD & Bubba are a radio show here in the PNW. Make me laugh all the way to work. Anyway, welcome and good luck. CP is a pretty smart guy. You are lucky to have access to him like you do.
