Thread: Newbies to investing

Got asked this question three times today:You told me to get out last week but the market did well today, Did I lose money?
Example:
Friday Morning --- Account worth $100,000 -- (100% C Fund)
Friday Evening --- Account worth $97,120 -- (100% C Fund)
Monday Evening-- Account worth $97,702.72--(100% C Fund)

If you went G Fund on Friday:
Friday Morning --- Account worth $100010 (100% G Fund)</p>Even if you jump back in tomorrow, you would have been better out for those 2 days.

Professor Frixxxx out!

Thanks professor. I like these types of lessons.

Now we just need to know when we should go in for a substantial rally. Any clues?

Unemployment can not be trusted, if the Senate passes the bill for unemployment claims, then the House will pass it and all the people who have "fallen off" may suddenly appear on the books again.
Unemployment can't be trusted as an indicator right now.

Housing, prices up, interest rates down.....stagnate market.
HPI will make this market crash if it sinks below the -.3% forecasted.....

Harley-Davidson jumped +13%. If you stop making a third of your bikes, you're bound to make profit! (I ride a Harley)

GS seems forgiven even after 1/2 Billion fine...Can you imagine? Cost the market Trillions because of shadow banking and get that as your fine? Who's in jail again?

So, I'm glad I'm out this week cause benanke has two days of speaking to Congress and anything could happen.

Anyone heard from Geitner lately?

Either way Malyla~~~!!! If you're in good luck, If not, protect it! I'm out this week on purpose, but my purpose seems unjust right now!

Tuesday Evening- Account worth $100030 (100% G Fund)
Wednesday Eve-- Account worth $100040 (100% G Fund)

This is a SHORT term argument against Buy & Hold. Shares are worth what they are, buy low sell high!

When indicators are indisputable and you have the means to protect your money....choose wisely. Remember - "G" Fund make money daily. Not a lot but it is a winner everyday. But you risk losing on the big moves if you don't pay attention. There is enough free information here to make valid moves.

Bullitt, coolhand, Uptrend, & Tom give good financials. Pay attention and learn.

AAAAA~~ This is for the EXCEL illiterate!!!!!
Cell A1 -Type in value of account
Cell B1 -Type in the daily interest rate (+/-) in decimal 1.2% =.012
Cell C1 Type = then click A1 type * then click B1 Hit Enter
Cell D1 Type = A1+C1

Ta-Da, this is the change in value of your account!
