Thread: burrocrat's Account Talk

the difference between me and you birchtree, is that i have nothing to lose.

not that it matters much though, because i'm used to nothing and you don't care if it all goes away. so same deal.

i'm trying to score because i like the game, and the bigger my stack of chips gets the more fun it is slinging them around. you just laugh at the game because it can't touch you. in the end, it doesn't matter who wins but how you play it. same deal. to each their own.

ok, i'm out again, gonna save some gains i got back.

opposite of jth/wolf allocation is probably not a good idea, i just have a bad feeling about this, and it's the only way i'll catch up. for all the marbles then, i'm out. who wants to retire in style anyways? it's way overrated, besides i'm better at sleeping in the dirt.

BC, every day on this side of the dirt is a good day!

true that.

it's all a freeroll now. has been for a long time. i hear you.

i wake up smiling everyday, even when it's going to be a tough one. lucky. carry on brother.

yep, did it again, got out too early and missed some good gains. at least i'm consistent.

i'm going to maybe go with a boghie-type allocation and start following jth's free service moves, it couldn't hurt obviously, and i'd have someone else to blame.

burro's ark weekly update:

turtle/amoeba: 3, 1.36%, nice save on the gains and back to default holding.
mouse/alevin: 3, 0.42%,a little risk brings a little reward, but that's better than no reward.
elephant/birchtree: 3, 1.35%, the i fund don't seem so stupid now, does it biatches?
lion/boghie: 4, 0.80%, held is his ground, downside defense with potential for upside gain, smart alek.
donkey/burrocrat: 1, 1.90%, popped it for +1/2% but bailed too early, again.
barracuda/dreamboatannie: 5, (3.14%), compounded the previous locked in loss.
racoon/fwm: 1, (6.56%), crawl to the hills.
cougar/jpcavin: 4, 0.53%, didn't retreat but still lost ground.
wolf/jth: 5, 4.95%, still winning! gave back 1% but still way ahead of the pack, and still hunting.
squirrel/pessoptimist: 4, 0.93%, basically even steven, with positive risk gain possibilities.

vira: 33, 66%, turning bearish.

i think by this time next week i will either be flatass broke like i am now, rich beyond my dreams if i hit the lotto, or else in a lion/boghie mix and following wolf/jth's moves. anyways, i'd still be proud to be coming in second place, not too shabby for just winging it.

on a side note: does any math wizzes know how to make the vira of 33, which is an indicator of how far +/- an aggregate of 10 folks are either side of 3 on a scale of 1 to 5 with a total nuetral reading of 30, and min/max range between 10 and 50, more informative than this percentage representation? it is not saying what it means to say, or else i'm not hearing it.

No, but professor Corey being a math wizz and foremost authority on everything surely must know.

sheet, you're one pretty fart smeller, uhhh, i mean smart feller. it reminded me of something i might would've learned in school if i hadn't been skipping class that day. but it made something occur to me something so here goes:

min 10, max 50, nuetral 30, so a 20 point spread. the count +/- 30 divided divided by 20 times 100 equals percent deviation, and i may suck at math but i got the deviation part down, so there. i'm gonna try that. so 33 - 30 / 20 * 100 = 15% to the good, not as bearish as i thought.

what was the question again?

also for next week i'm renaming 'vira' (volatility indicator risk allocation) to 'el vira' (the volatilty indicator risk allocation) for non-spanish speaking investors. besides, who doesn't like elvira?

and if folks don't want it, they can go make up their own system, suckers.

Hell yeah, pretty good fart smeller; here, take a whiff you fit right in Pedorro.

what you got against math anyways?

Apologies Burro, sorry for intruding in your account. I shouldn't be posting\intruding in your personal space. I sincerely hope you can do well with your TSP account and make a good year's end % return and as you say have fun doing it. Adios for now.
