    Since we have to make an early decision I am changing my allocation and gambling that we may be seeing a bottom here. If not close.

    I will be going 50% C, 50% I fund (rather than 50% G, 50% I, which I reported earlier).

    Sorry for the late change.

    Tom

    Tom, do you think the bottom already came yesterday?

    Or could this just be a knee-jerk reaction to falling oil?

    If we didn't hit the bottom, it is close. I have mixed feelingabout the rally today. It looked impressive but I wasn't involved. I was hoping for something a little less enthusiastic. :?

    Thanks for yourgreatcharts and your educational explanations of the stock market. You motivated metochange allocationsfrom 60% to 100% in "C" Fundeffective 12:01AM Tuesday. My timing was wrong and I lost money Tuesday but more than recovered what I loston Wednesday.Let's hopeTuesday wasa bottom for the S&P 500.

    Currently I like "C" more thanthe "I"Fund since"I" gained nothingon Wednesday.Maybe theUS Dollar was oversold and is temporarily gaining strength due torising interest rates and foreign currency tradershearing talkof more aggressive tightening of the US money supply in the future by the Federal Reserve Bank.Thanks again for the great website.

    Hey mac -
    One of the reasons I went into the I fund was that it sometimes has a big day the day after the US funds go up, so I was happy to see it didn't move Wed. I hope the dollar cooperates and let's the I fund do it's thing tomorrow.

    I believe it will. So far the world markets are looking pretty healthy for 31 Mar.

    Large Caps (C)are flush with cash, Small Caps (S)tend to operate on borrowed money.
