    Default Handballer's Account Talk

    Effective tomorrow (Monday March 23rd) my first IFT on the tracker will show G:92%, C:3%,S:3%, and I:2%. I hope to beat the G and will remain as shown for the rest of the month. I use to make it a habit of losing each time I made a IFT move; not really, it just turned out that way. Those days are over. Its my time. I have no knowledge but depend on others that are more Akamai than I am.

    Best Of Luck HB ! With six trading days left in March, don't be fearful of
    bailing back to the (G) Fund once you hit your goal. April 1st brings a
    whole new set of IFT's. I've gained 10 weeks worth of (G) Returns, but
    a pull back isn't out of the question before April.
    My thoughts of future market events are strictly my gut feelings and have nothing
    to do with actual knowledge or experience concerning the Stock Market or Investing.

    Thanks for the info. I might start scaling back to real soon. This rally can't last.

    This rally just rolled through the DJIA 50 day MA at 7669 - it may last longer than you can surmise - all the professionals are light on their holdings. And they have to be in to win.

    even though I dont agree with birch's surmise, I have to say birch's been right the last couple of weeks.

    I find it useful if I use a mixture of the optimism and pessimism of about 10 different people on this MB to keep an even keel.
    Too much pessimism I lose, too much optimism I lose (I sound like the 3 bears) No kin to the ones on this board.
    The market is like a wheelbarrow- it stands still until someone pushes it. Little help here.

    DCguy,

    You have to remember I was wrong the last 60 weeks. Now I'll probably have to pay in the $10 range for my next DCA into the C fund - there's just no justice.

    Use your login username and password on the Tracker Menu. Go to My IFT allocation and type in the allocation you are changing to. Hit Update and you're done.

    You can get to the Tracker Menu from the message board banner by clicking on "Tracker."

    Hope this helps. Good luck!
