That old windbag hosed the market again. Sorry Friend.

I feel lucky I only got stung for .02% today. I knew when I saw Gold and Bonds moving up we were in for a afternoon surprise. Good news....it could have been much worse.

I just read Amoeba's post. I think he just hit the nail on the head.

i had 25% in s-fund so i might stay positive on the day, but unfortunately i probably won't get enough of a bump to separate my line from the g-fund line on my weekly graphs.

either way i am counting this trade as a win because i did not go much backwards and this is a very dangerous market. also i am happy that i am seeing the situations i want to find and getting at least the initial action heading the direction correctly, but you can't win them all. i am happy about the decision to get out too, even if in hindsight it runs up tomorrow and i miss some gains. i made what i feel to be a good decision based on the information available at the ift cutoff deadline. that sure is a tough and arcaic way to trade equities in the 21st century, but no sense beating a dead horse there, it is what it is.

so i am going to keep trusting my indicators and my instincts and developing my hit and git trading strategery because i think it could be a good way to mitigate the risk of holding long in a down-pressure market. better luck next time, so glad to be out of that trade and not looking back. (even though i wanted really bad to post a youtube video of a bullrider and play that "2.7 seconds on a bull named fu man chu" song and pat myself on the back "nice ride cowboy"). dang that was close, i'll get 'em next time.

If the TSP numbers match the market data as they should, you should be up today 0.05%
