    I thought for sure that the little fat guy with the bad haircut was going to muck up the fountain today, especially after seeing the futures this morning. But once again the bulls hung in there.

    S&P500 +0.08%, DWCPF -0.01%, EFA -0.40%, AGG + 0.14%

    Futures are UP!

    Looking for a run up through Friday, which will put me into the next month for trades. I still need another .6 to break even on this one.

    I need 2.5% to be on the positive side for the month.
    May the force be with us.

    That's great news GDP revised up to 3%. Nice! makes me want to reconsider the exit I was thinking about for today. But I would still want to exit this week. If wait til Friday, it eats 1IFT. Hum...

    I guess the only thing is that more news on refineries could be negative, Congress is coming back, and wouldn't be surprised if a Surprise action is taken against N Korea. I don't want to be in for that.... obviously all just conjecture on my part. Hope that doesn't happen anytime soon but the test over Japan was quite provocative. Hmmm..... decisions, decisions! lol....
    Don't take my comments as trading advice /IFT: 2-13-24=100G/https://www.theepochtimes.com/ & http://www.ewg.org/PermaCharts@p430#5159/strategy#4918p.410

    Discretion is the better part of valor, 1st IFT for September - 100% G looking for the post holiday reversal as we're hitting resistance. Caught some air on this recent volatility, bullish, but still cautious. Taking profits, 12 Mo. investment performance from the TSP.GOV site almost 10% Have a great weekend everyone!

    Thanks RF! Every once in a while things sort of go they way you think they might. Futures are off with KJU spouting off again, along with the post holiday reversal, and now Irma bearing down on the south east (might be a good idea to fill a few gas cans while prices are still not too bad). Cooling my heels on the lily pad for a bit 'till some of this blows over.

    Short covering, I suspect. I don't think the fall pullback is over just yet, but could be wrong.
