is that wood?

burros-ark update: wow. i don't know what to say. this is weird. two weeks of extreme readings and who knows what is up with the markets. if anybody tells you they do, i think they are lying. this is a total crapshoot. that being said, kangaroo went full monty balls in deep, why? big money, big nuts. i want some gains so bad, i am ~1.5% behind my goal at this point but i am freakin skeered. i might go in for a grab if things drop off monday-tuesday, but only if roo don't die first. wheeee! when i get sad like this all i want to do is curl up in bed and eat. or drink. but drinking in bed is frowned upon so i just order breakfast instead.

burros-ark signal: hold. el vira is at -5% and exposure is 37%, a slight improvment from last week's extreme readings so maybe this thing is turning around. hold. the ark is out of trades for july so it can't get back in either way, and there is no compelling evidence to convince anyone with a trade left to take this bait. by the same token, there is no reason if you are in, to sell now either unless you think the world will end next week and if so selling ain't gonna make the end of the world go any smoother anyways. hold.

good luck buttercups.

Catch a falling knife and put it in my pocket, never let it fade away... Went in Friday when it looked like the S funds was stabilizing, then the bottom dropped out. I might have made a putz move going "full monty balls in deep" getting the boys lopped off....

Hoping for a bounce, even just a half percent, but it looks like I may be July's bitch two years in a row.

Good luck fellow arkers!

burros-ark update: shoot. nobody is moving. except turtle who is busy stacking his less than 1% pennies and kangaroo who knocked off +1% last week. everybody else is hiding under their rock, again. we need to get this thing moving.

burros-ark signal: crap. i don't know what to think. every part of me says the 3rd week in a row of negative ark sentiment means jump in don't think. but the world is messed up, everybody wants to kill each other or is jockeying for position to kill each other later. gold is fast becoming worthless, oil is cheap but that's because nobody is investing or producing anything and don't need no more energy, the bankers and politicians are up to their usual tricks, and for sure it is all going to tank on monday. crap


ahhh screw it. buy contrarion buy. may i live to regret it. the negative nellies are just too strong. maybe they are wrong, maybe they are right. if they are right this is going to hurt. bad. buy.

Thanks for the update Burro. I closely follow the ark.

this is one of those days i am glad i have a system to follow. if it was my account that made the decision on saturday to buy in, i would be very tempted to reverse that call prior to the ift deadline, maybe after watching the initial action after the open, and then run screaming into the doom and gloom woods and rend my rainment and curse god or something.

but that is not how the system works. the system was designed to make a decision based on available information and activity over the weekend, and to hold that call for at least an entire week, only trading in or out on mondays, no exceptions. it is actually that 'restriction' that has led to better results from the system than i am getting in my personal account which i can trade willy nilly at whim, i just haven't been feeling very whimmy lately this year is all.

so i am sticking with the system buy, come hell or high water. and if the markets dumps and the system loses then i hope it drops hard in a big grand fashion as those type of events are great learning experiences. regardless, burros-ark generates a signal on weekends, trades on mondays, and holds fast to path.

this should be a fun week. who knows what tomorrow brings?

oh no! it was up, then it went down. then up and down, again. then it was up. now it's going doooowwwnnnnn! lol. apparently they are programming the algorythms with a sick sense of humor these days. it's almost like being married, except this way you might actually get to keep some of your money. wheeeee!

the market is a fickle mistress.

Burro, did the ark buy in today. I still see it as 100% G on the Tracker? Thanks.
