100% G fund since 21 Sep.

Do not want to get in front of this report that comes out tomorrow. With the rising inventory rates and the warnings of shipment...want to be on the defensive and let Mr Market tell us when to dabble again.

Durable Goods Orders

• Importance (A-F): This release merits a B.
• Source: The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce.
• Release Time: 8:30 ET around the 26th of the month (data for month prior).
• Raw Data Available At: http://www.census.gov/ftp/pub/indicator/www/m3/index.htm.

The durable orders release measures the dollar volume of orders, shipments, and unfilled orders of durable goods (defined as goods whose intended lifespan is three years or more). Orders are considered a leading indicator of manufacturing activity, and the market often moves on this report despite the volatility and large revisions that make it a less than perfect indicator. These problems can be minimized by looking at the breakdown of orders. The total number is often skewed by huge increases in aircraft and defense orders. An increase based solely on strength in one sector tends to be discounted, while the market is more impressed with broadbased increases in orders.
Also notable in this report is the narrow category of nondefense capital goods. These goods mirror the GDP category producers' durable equipment (PDE) -- the largest component of business investment. Shipments of nondefense capital goods are a good proxy for PDE in the current quarter, while nondefense capital goods orders provide an indication of PDE growth in the quarters ahead.

Why are U going to the S fund? I don't understand.

:s:s:s:s:s

good luck...:shock:

I think he is on tilt. It is best the S fund get crushed today and bounces tomorrow for him. However, I do not think anyone wants to be heavy in stocks over the weekend. All ways dangerous to sell on Fridays for this reason.

Will be interesting to read his comments for this move!

I wish I saw your "falling knife" post earlier. I respect your judgement.

So true. I am usually early to the party.You are wise cowboy. So much for my patience. I just think the downside risk is limited. It still may take a week or more to muddle through this however. I just don't want to miss the dance. If we get a big move upward late one day, we wouldn't be able to get back in for two days (because of the deadline). If I was more bearish I'd be more concerned about preserving capital. Now I'm concerned about missing rallies.

I wish I saw this earlier. Bulls 51%, bears 27%. That shocks me. Maybe I am premature.

Oh!!OH! :s Not a good sign when bulls strong, but I don't think its a bad move the market will breath some and maybe give you some coin!! Play it short though. I'm thinking this market is going to give you and Namor .03 to .06 cents or take you for .10 or so tomorrow. If you lose the .10 cents stick it out till Monday when it may give it all back. I'm thinking like MT the C fund is a weak fund it dropped below it's 30 day average and usually the other 2 follow it down but not without breathing some. If the market is up 10 cents tomorrow I would take it and head for your burrow and be happy. I was watching the I fund and figured if that would drop to the 13.25 - 13.15 value on Friday thenI would buy and hope it bounced on Monday.If I don't like the markets on Friday I'll wait for next week. The trend is now downand harder to play then when it is climbing. If it doesn't feel good I may wait til Oct. 7th when MT thinks the bottum will be in! :^
