Thread: Rogue's Account Talk

    Darn it...this darn market is going south. Wednesday will either be a buy with conviction (false rally Tuesday to shake out the weak hands)...meaning a good sustained rally will occur based on my experience. The other side of the coin is much more ominous...we are going to have a Wednesday bloodbath. Looks like from todays trading we will need a good set of diapers and some cheese to go with the massive whine.

    We could be looking at a major trap Wednesday. Oh my.

    And, now is NOT the time to sell any of these shares. Right?

    It's been a bloodbath this week.
    I've moved UP to #295 on the AT because I've ONLY lost 0.02% YTD. So far.

    It may be time to buy fear in the coming days.
    To paraphrase Goodman's character in Raising Arizona, I'm young, I've got my health, what do I want with all that money anyhow?
    Seriously though, if a feller could time the "bottom" of this selloff, I be there's gold in them thar hills.
    Takes guts though, time to do a gut check I s'pose.

    Cool Re: Rogue's Account Talk

    Buying into the game with >$100k today. You can still get wet, but not ride the wave if you're sitting on the beach.
    With >20 years left to go, I can be a little more loose with these moves, in hopes of catching the swells.
    You have to bet big to win big. So I'm moving 35% of my stake out of G and back into business, thinking that some just can't stand this volatility.

    I can't shake the feeling of frustration at how hampered we are by the limited IFTs, and having to play these guessing games before Noon, with less than half the day's results in.
    Hope I'm not crying in my soup manana.

    Yesterday (Tuesday before Noon) would have been THE DAY to have made this move, but I think this will coincide with payday and, dammit if it's not the bottom at least I won't watch the pitch go by, but take a swing.

    #300 on the AT with a whopping 0.7% gain YTD.

    Surf's up, Dude.



    Today's IFT, before Noon:

    From: To:
    G: 65 30
    F: 0 10
    C: 20 30
    S: 15 30
    I: 0 0

    I hear ya - my only consternation is it seems like Friday always bites me -- I'm hoping to keep riding it a few more days and make up what I've lost since the 10th of August - then watch Sept from the sidelines

    Ease in gradually my friend! Don't believe we have seen the bottom yet but I hope I'm wrong about that one.

    #164 on the AT with 1.75% ytd...yowza it's a roller coaster right now.

    Ouch for all of us because of this statistic: #164 on the AT with 1.75% YTD.
    10 of the to 20 (and 22 of the top 40) are 100% G Fund right now, with a couple others @ 75% G Fund.
    Some really sharp cats, 30 of y'all, are >8% YTD, that's amazing because <80 people (out of 956) have made >5% this year.
    That's right, less than 10% of us on the AT have made > 5%.

    I'm talking about the non-premium, full year AT.

    _________________________________________

    It's been a rough summer, and a rough 2015 so far.
    I guess the good news is that I'm in the black.
    Sort of, I still have about 3k less today than I did in the middle of May.

    Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 08/31/2015 is 4.03%.
    #158 on the AT @ 2.16% YTD.
    Jiminy Christmas, I could get 1.4% on a 5-year CD right now.

    17 of us (you) >10% YTD and 80 >5%.
    I'm gonna leave my funds as they are:

    G - 30%
    F - 10%
    C - 30%
    S - 30%
    I - 0%
