Transfer 7/7 for 7/8/04

**tsptalk** · 07-07-2004, 06:07 AM

I haven't exactly been setting the world on fire with my market calls lately, so please consider your goals, risk tolerance and pain threshold before joining me on this one...

Before the noon ET deadline on Wednesday, I will initiate a transfer to the following allocation:

50% S, 50% I fund.

To read more about it, please see today's comments.

Tom

hehe...I loved your comments today...always entertaining and informative...on markets and personal choices...much wisdom there. "Knowing when you are wrong and acting upon it is better than being stubborn." -- I, myselfhave recently come to terms with that very important concept...thanks for the reinforcement!

Abandoning C for now? I take it the rationale is that small-caps will benefit more on short spikes?

Me too! But, "better late than never" probably applies.

I'm just following the TSPTalk herd for a while.

Sorry Rolo, I didn't see your post until today. Yes, I am basically getting aggressivepreparing for any rebound, which I was hoping for today. But Yahoo!, who should change their names to Yikes!, put a damper on that so far this morning. I'm still hoping bargain hunters swoop in before the close.

Ah, cool...I was thinking that, too....seeing this steep pull-back as buying opportunities for value-type investors and, more importantly, for institutional investors.

:shock:

I just dont know what to say after seeing today's market returns.....WHAT ARE WE TO DO.Is there any hope

**Rolo** · 07-08-2004, 09:16 PM

heh, ya, somebody bled all over my Scottrade today. :shock:

My oil tankers are still unsinkable though!

At least this was a good buy point for my little bit of G that is getting moved today. (How's that for a soother, heh heh.)

These are the same conversations we heard the last time the market went belly up. Then all of a sudden it turned around and came back. Just give it time and things will get back to the future. The only part is when to figure the market will say enough and keep on climbing to the predictions that were made in the begginning of the year. A rise of 10 to 12 % for the year. Hang in there. :dude:
