"Yields on 3-mo. T-bills have gone to zero once again. The last time this happened was in December of last year. The market is capitulating to the idea that the Fed is going to keep the funds rate near zero all throughout the coming year."

Thanks Birch for the advice on the large-caps leading the way but now getting a little nervous on the way up, but like Lostdawg my short term goal is to navigate above the I-funders which I accomplished. Don't worry your in my rear view mirror as we proceed and won't let you pass me..

Well the damage of the last two days wasnt all that bad, whats it going to do tomorrow, Birch? Will we see the start of the late November seasonal upswing?

Q: TSP is closed on Thursday right? Market is as well? Do both open on Friday and when is last opportunity to make IFT and have it apply at Fridays close, be effective on next Monday?

FAB1,

I suspect that next week will be hotter than a turkey shoot even if it is a short week. The only problem lately is that the NYSE advance/decline line is beginning to diverge from price but may get the opportunity to straighten out next week. I'm really bullish into March '10 - then comes the 10% correction. I've gotta catch the tom1tom1 - I'll be drafting his bumper shortly.

Come on you dip buyers - push that VIX below 22 in the next 15 minutes. My radar is up.

Birch,
I'm all in -- and I'm about as 'hi risk' as you can possibly get.

At some point when you go in -- you realize that no matter what happens in a week or two (going from 17% something to 8% something -- and back to 15% something)...

...somewhere down the line ... when the Markets soar and you've got a 3%+ Gain one day -- followed by several more huge gains...


...you realize that 'holding on' is the best way to go.

That tataberto is up to something - he's on the move again. Some impressive moves lately. I hope he has a large portfolio - 'cause he's in the money.
