    Default Will the S Fund Rebound?

    The S Fund is currently sitting almost 8% below its July 13 21.21 high. A rebound back up to this level would yield about 8.4% gain. The markets are so volatile right now that we may see large ups and downs in the near term. Get out your malox tabs folks!

    I suspect it will do better come October.

    Mid Sept and the S fund is already rebounding.

    The S has had a nice little run. I expect to see a little pullback here in order to set up another upward run. A 15-20 point pullback on the DW4500 would be perfect. With all of the gloom and doom currently going on, sooner or later, this market run up has to stop? But until it does, I plan to make lots of money on it!

    This fund might be a good place to be for the last quarter. We should look at the posibility. It might outperform the I fund during certain streaks.

    I hate the noon cut off. Out here in AZ, that is 9am. I was in a meeting with a co-worker in my office, glanced up and saw it was 9:12 yesterday. I had planned to move into the S fund for today. Now will have to rethink for Friday. DW4500 has pulled back about 26% from its most recent run up 9/25 to 10/2. I keep an eye on pullback ratios to see if they meet fibonnacci trends. The previous pullback was about 45%. Ideally, I like to see a red candle with a long tail to the downside. That generally fuels a nice multi-day rally up. The DW4500 is now gone green with a nice long tail to the down side. I think I may jump back in. Have to now decide whether to go 100 S or split it with the I.

    S fund is off to a good start this morning. The question is whether to stay in for Monday or bail to the pond?

    S fund is currently up 0.24. I'll take it! A review of the chart is telling me that the S fund will probably be up on Tuesday as well but I have decided to play it safe with the Holiday weekend and move to the G. The DW4500 is currently in a nice upward trending position with higher highs following higher lows. Pretty!

    S fund is down about a half a percent today. Glad I moved to the sideline. I plan to stay in G for the next few days.
