    Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great holiday in real life. Terrible in my TSP account though. I went into this quarter around break even for the year, but am now down about 15% as I've been riding it out in the I fund waiting for the Santa rally. Turns out the results weren't there, but I don't think the strategy was bad. I keep telling myself to trust the process, not the results. I'm not going to kick myself for being exposed to the first time the market has ever dropped more than 1% on Christmas Eve or whatever the statistic is. That's an historically statistical anomoly. I'm Birchtree'ing it up, fully exposed and buying more at the beginning of every month.

    Time is your friend. Happy Holidays.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.

    Ditto. But I am hoping our ________(fill in the blank cause I don't see what is causing most of this drop) is just messed up and this is the start of the rally right now. Check out Toms most recent commentary. I almost always take away good stuff from his summaries but this one is a must read IMO. Just skim over the part about his "Plus" comments so he will, hopefully, drop little gems more often

    Futures in the red by more than 1% after a 5% up day... shocker! Here comes the volatility. Day/swing trader heaven. Too difficult to time with IFTs so I'm sticking it out.

    Same here. I'll wait for a solid uptrend to form before I get back in.

    Gotta think the I fund outperforms EFA tomorrow to offset its underperformance today.

    Euro stock markets had a great day following the US strength. Should be a good day for the I fund... I hope.

    Need to invest in Smucker's because my kids want to eat like 5 of these Uncrustable sandwiches a day. Brilliant idea. Frozen PB&Js for kids (and Dad snacks too).

    Well the Autotracker says I lost 12.73% this year, ouch. Luckily because of contributions, I'm actually only down 7.5% for the year.

    Now time to make 19% in '19! Happy New Years everyone.

    The DOW just touched +800 points. Holy moly. On pace to be the 3rd highest point gain ever. We need 936.43 points to be the single biggest move up (in points) ever. Might we see our first ever +1000 point gain in 2019?
