convinced that upheavals in the Euro zone are behind us and they can trigger wild swings.

This year I am investing with less exposure (time) and possibly also less amounts when
trading stock and bonds. When I face the fact that I could have had more money in my
TSP from my contributions and the G fund - I have to also admit my strategies for the year sucked.

So capital preservation and less risk is the path I intend to try to take - I could retire in about a
decade!

Us Capital Preservation guys need all the wingmen we can get.

After this current time in the market, I'll try to find a less risky time for you to enter. This move may just make a little more gain. If 1320ish breaks we'll have to rethink it. Almost like the 2009 wall of worry. Everybody looking for the drop that doesn't come and it just keep going up. Hope I didn't jinks it.

Sold I fund today with some profit under my belt.

I see Country Boy's thread got closed. Why??

There used to be a conservative Group here, must be the same reason.

It is discussed among the moderators. If we could discuss politics in an open and adult manner there would be very few issues. The problem is that some folks are very opinionated and see everything only one way (theirs). The other problem with the political hot potato is the name calling, finger pointing and the blame game. It's just best that we stay out of the politics and focus on helping everyone make money in our TSP accounts.

Oh let's try. "Is it fair that those who work full-time jobs and sometimes more like Nasa to make ends meet have to pay taxes to support up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits for those who don't work?"

Birch, This could be an interesting topic. Hopefully FAB wouldn't mind his account being hijacked. Unfortunately at this time I have to recluse myself from said topic, my wife is currently unemployed.

Rather then unemployment benifits, give them work...

Who else wants a 50 day ema buying opportunity? Can you feel a correction coming?

Do I sound like Tom if I say this is "overdue"?

Do I sound like Birchtree if I say that this market can stay overbought for a very long time with volume as low as this...
