Thread: Transfer 11/10 for 11/11/04

How strong are the numbers?

I am initiating a transfer Wednesday morning going 100% S fund effective Veteran's Day, Thursday, November 11th. It is historically a very good day.

I will most likely go back to 50% G, 50% S effective Monday 11/15.

It's a "wiggle" play because I still think we need a breather, but the 11/11 numbers are too strong to pass up for a play.

Hey Tom, I hate to go against ya, but I think you may be wrong on this. If you look back since 9-11-01, I VERY historical date don't ya think, the market has dropped every year either on Veteran's day or on the day that it was recognized. I think that when it comes to holiday's or other significant dates, people should only look back to charts since 9-11-01.

Remember, Bush won the election, folks may be a little worried "something" might happen.

Now the day "after" is a pretty good day and I'd love to jump back in for it, unfortunately we can't with TSP. So it's pretty much a trade off. Two out of the three years the day following Veteren's day has ended up higher than the day before Veteran's day so you'll probably end up okay, unless something really does happen. The only reason I'm getting out is because my system is telling to.

Good luck,

As you may already know, I'm getting out because the last 3rate hikes have resulted in RED days 1 to 2 days after the hike.

Therefore, tomorrow may very well be RED.

God Bless:^

Positive 78% of the time. About as good as you get, but still down 22% so no guarantees.

Thanks for the warning mlk. Plus the fact that this year it is the day after an interest rate hike makes it a wild card unknown. Again no guarantees today.

What system is telling you to? and where do you find historical data for a specific day?

Woops I ment to say What system MLK MAN are you using and where can I find historical data for a specific day?
