I think you're right about realization setting in of what this really means.
I made the only good decision I've made this year, and went to G Wednesday and limited my yearly losses to a little...
Ravensfan, you described me exactly. I did the same. Missed out on a substantial run up today by having no faith. I still see an even greater pullback looming, but I could easily be proven...
Well, I topped $400,000 by $2 today in my TSP account. Going to G yesterday gave me the little boost to make it today!
My goal is to double that in the next 6 years, will give me an adequate...
What a resilient bull market. Can't even get a decent down day when one is due and has drivers for it.
Moved to 100% G today. Up about 2.5% for the month, a lot of small gains make for a great year. I think the pace is unsustainable, there's going to be some volatility and an opportunity to rebuy in...
Well, the open makes your move look even better. That's what I was afraid of when I saw the ascending close on Friday.
Whipsaw, I think you did right. I agonized over whether to stay in or not, and didn't exit. I don't like these run up at the close on Friday days. Usually followed by a plunge the next week. ...
They haven't moved out; the top 150 has changed with the new year as C and S are doing better than I.
Well, today was a good recovery to where I wanted to get out last week, so I took the opportunity to go 100% G. Took the 2.60% since my buy in on 8/24; will look to buy back in when the relief rally...
Easier decision for me. I bought S on 8/24, will be up 2.5% or so by today, so I went 100% G and will wait for the next downturn to rebuy. Just glad I had a repeat of the high on 9/1, when I...
Been a bad time for me in trades. Last week, bought in a couple days late because of a password problem. Then, really wanted to get out today, but was busy and couldn't do the IFT. Would have...
Tried to buy in Monday and TSP site wouldn't accept my password. Turns out that would have been a great move with the pop Tuesday. Decided to go in today. I got out at the highs in July, so S has...
I'm guessing I missed the best buying opportunity by being too hesitant. With the recent market behavior, thought that the dip buyers would buy into the close, not that it would continue to sell...
Really had to resist getting back in today. Keep remembering the last few Augusts....... Still 100% G, waiting on better opportunity.
I've been inactive for quite a while, took a promotion and moved, and only partially actively managing my TSP. Been getting back into it the past couple months.
Took today as an opportunity to...
Well, what a perfectly awful call I made last IFT!
I got a promotion/transfer and had to move my wife and daughter immediately so they could start school and a new teaching job. Came back after...
Back from vacation, was good to come back and see I made a good call, getting out July 16th at the high, and sidestepping consistent lows since then. I went back into stocks today, instead of my...
You expressed my thoughts exactly, Cactus.
The dow completion, for the S fund, just seems to get to that 1120 and grind around there before plunging back. That was the key factor in my decision...
One thing I've learned over the years is:
HOPE IS NOT A GOOD STRATEGY
I didn't move into I fund at the beginning of the month as did a lot of others; I moved into S as I thought I fund was too...
Glad I got in when I did, wish I would have been around one day later like I thought; that was the real pullback. I just can't do IFT's some days, have to do it early instead.
Now, to go up...
Looking at my graph, I think now is a good time to go in; should get some relief soon and make 1 to 2%. Lot of people jumping into I; gambling on a Greek settlement.
It looks to me that the...
Really tempting to jump in today. Market still really just muddling around though. I looked at the Tracker for some inspiration. Yesterday, essentially nobody jumping to G. Today, a few. Way too...
I don't like to be sidelined this long, been out 3 weeks. My spreadsheet shows that the G fund that I'm in is the highest performer for that time; everything else is just muddling around sideways. ...
It looks like my spreadsheet chart was right on, should have stayed in instead of getting nervous, and I would have harvested another 1% in S. It shows about another .25 to .5% up in S, and then I...
I went 100% G today. Should take a small profit of about 1% and lock it in. I'm not too bright, and really do no technical analysis. My unsophisticated look at my own tracking graph/spreadsheet...
