    Hey BT, I was thinking that we may need another 1.5% down to 537 to get the last bottom. What do you think? Be gentle I’m a newbie.

    I wouldn't wait to catch the absolute bottom - it's down enough to cause pain and good pricing. Go for 75% if you enjoy risk - keep 25% incase it does drop some more. The run back to 780 may be faster than the drop - leaving a good many previous owners at the station. It looks so bad it has to be golden.

    Thumbs up Re: S Fund

    Thanks BT, I don’t want to get too greedy and miss the train. The intraday swings in the market have made me a bit nervous. It would be just my luck to put in the transfer and have the market take off for a one day flight. Yikes! What fun

    The S-fund still lags the C-fund and the I-fund in terms of recovery following the recent decline. I think it has a little more potiential right now than the other two, although the I-fund has been doing really well. The I fund has recovered 74% of the decline, C-fund has recovered 79% of the decline, and the S-fund has recovered only 37% of the decline.

    Some of the recent talking heads on CNBC say since many believe the U.S. economy is slowing they are taking advantage of the falling dollar and putting more money in over seas major markets as a defensive move. The belief of a hard landing and slowing economy is holding back the S fund back short term.

    Try and keep an eye on the hedge fund money flows - they were responsible for the last spill - their loyalty is worth only an eigth of a point. Go where they are afraid to tread.

    MZM money is still very tight which puts growth on hold. Value is paying now but for how long? ... don't know exactly. The fed is going to have to open the flood gates if the economy shows any weakness. Then the S fund can shine again. I'll keep an eye on those monetary indicators, the one leg of the market that is lagging. The others, psychology and relative valuation, are quite strong. It's just a matter of time.
