View Full Version : GGal's Account Talk
I have to admit that I got really chicken today and took a hit. Went from 20G, 25 C, 25 S, and 30 I to 30 G, 20 C, 20 S, and 30 I, which will be effective COB Monday.
Of course I can always change my mind Monday morning.
This is really nerve-wracking. And to think, until recently I was blissfully unaware! Just had faith it would all come out in the wash!
It was either eat the small loss now, or wait and see what's coming - and I just don't have a good feeling about the short-term future of our economy, the dollar, or the stock funds.
Probably I should move even more to G. I'm really watching all you guys, that's for sure!

:? All the charts you guys use are out of my league, but I would like to discuss the current state of affairs and predictors:
1. Ailing U.S. Dollar
2. Trade Deficit
3. Inflation rearing it's ugly head - increased cost of energy, steel, building materials
4. Oil Prices Up and Uncertain
5. Homebuilding down in many areas of the country
6. Interest Rates appear to be on an upward trend
While most reports indicate that overall consumer spending and confidence is holding it's own, i.e., the economy is still holding it's own, I don't think anyone could say with a straight face that we are completely out of the woods and going gangbusters.
Bush (yes, I voted for him) was sure that a war in Iraq would help the economy and get him re-elected - but has it gone on too long and cost too much?
And how many billions of dollars were lost in last season's hurricanes?
And how many billions of dollars are we contributing to the relief efforts toward December's disaster?
Have we bitten off more than we can chew?
I hope it doesn't all come tumbling down - but as long as the economy is holding it's own, maybe I'll continue to keep a good portion of my investment in the stock funds.
My husband is a small business man, and his primary customers are other small businesses. Of course, his sales took a beating in 2001, 2002. A slow recovery started in 2003, with more in 2004. So far, 2005 is going well also. Of course, he is not dealing directly with the individual consumers, like a dentist, restaurant, or florist does, so he is not the first to know when things start to go wrong. But for right now, his sales are still slowly picking up.Although, in January andFebruary, he did have some collection problems.
Think I'll keep a close eye on what's going on with him. And, when I go to the dentist soon, I'll ask them how things are going with them.

Hello GeorgiaGal. The charts take some time. I'm not completely comfortable with them myself although I've learned a lot about them since I starting watching this web site a few months ago.
As far as the current state of affairs and predictors they get their fair share of discussion here.
Keep in mind that none of us are experts or market gurus. We're just trying to learn from each other. Welcome to the forum. :)

Georgiagal, It's a mistery to me? :%but the sate of the market right now doesn't look really good. :end:I know, based on last year (and previous yearly trends) that we are probably due a big drop, but you never know? I'm a Georgia guy that is trying to figure this stuff out, and the wayI figure (in georgiaian) is that it's is almost impossible to predict the market, day to day. :UThere are some things that reoccur and you can move your allocations based on these trends, but they don't always react in the same way. If it was easy we would all be millionaires.BUTif you follow this stuff Day To Day you should do better than the standard returns, ie. S&P or "C" Fund. that is what I am trying to do. A better example is that (If a frog farts in Columbia it can change the WEATHER). Hang in there and play it safe, currently I'm 100% I Fund, but that may change Monday at the COB (close of business). :!

As unfavorable as the market looked today, and even the EAFE (I Fund) was down .62%, the fund still picked up a nickle today.
Well, I wish I understood that!
The I fund was down, but gained a nickle?

That's the sign - pain and fear. If you get an uncontrollable urge to get out of stocks at any cost, fight it because that means we are at the bottom.If you don't feel that way yet, get out. Until the herd gets that"get me out!" attitude,we will keep going down.
Does that make sense? Fight your instincts. Some argue that point with me but I think that is what makes a successful market timer. You have to go against the herd.

No, I dont think we're near the bottom yet, with more interest ratehikes ahead. How does 100G sound? NormallyI wont consider100G but it sounds really good because I'm not waiting much longer to bail out on this awful situation. I'm not pleased that my retirement money is going to waste. We're now down to no profit for this calendar year except the G fund. March 2005 has been aterrible month to invest in the stock market.Even the I fund has dropped below the December 31st level.Currently 20g,15c,20c,20s,25i.

I guess my "go against your instincts" speech didn't impress you. :)
:PHi, don't know if you were addressing risky, or me, but I am impressed!
The only problem is, I normally tend to be one to take lots of risk, on anything I do. I've always been a decision maker, not a fence jumper.
But lately I've been worried because I have a disability that could force me to retire sooner than I had planned.
I think that makes my instinct suspect.
However, I am very impressed with your advice.

Your a trader, tell me what you think is going to happen. Think ahead of the market. So if Houston has a problem what is it? Will it have the same problem tomorrow or will it fix it. Look at what has happened in the last two days, Tuesday looked like we were going to lose everything and then boom were up by the end of day, huge swing. Today down and we lose our gains and more now what do you do? Two huge swings usually means this thing is going up or down. It depends on who wins the battle. Give me that woman's intuition, I am listening.

Today was the 13th http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb052.gif
For the S&P, support is felt to be at 1163, and resistance at 1202. However, we are still stuck in a trading range. At least until a catylist can break us free.
At USATODAY Market one of the comments was: Massocca, who called the selling "irrational despondency on the part of the market" thinks stocks are getting close to a bottom.
That seem a fairly understatement. Of course when you drain the pool, it's bound to have a bottom!

Sounds like the voice of determination! LoL! Rolo is being kicked by the I fund and possibly the stock market right now but he might recover! Time heals all.
I'm curious to see how all this gloom and doom talk about the economy, since undesirable quarterly reports, will affect you guys......
Even my husband's local bank stock is down $2 per share. Interestingly enough, he just told me orders are up at his business!
Watching and waiting,

I still have to side with the "irrational despondency" as a factor, plus all the media hype. Any bad news gets attention. Good news is silent. Some health care stock is doing ok, i.e., [IXJ]. This is where the limitations of TSP kind of show through unless you consider the G-fund. ;)

LOL! You can only come out it your not trying to stick 14 eggs in a one dozen carton. Has hubby ever been right before. How good is his track record. It depends on which side of the economy is slipping just like in the stock market. Hey Gawga how did you like my peanut joke. Was it tasteless?
:P Sorry Hank, did not see the joke ......but if you told it, it had to be (tasteless.) Keep up the good work!
Speaking of Hubby, he is ultra-conservative - I think he keeps all his money under the mattress, LOL. Being a small businessman, he constantly sweats bullets. We got married in 2001, in the depth of the recession. He would get really PO'd when people would say there was no recession.

That's it just sit tight and dollar cost average - next week is another week. Greenspan does some talking to the Chinese with open questions - maybe he'll let something slip - like we are done for awhile.
Jobs were soft today - 176k when averaged - not bad at all. The household numbers however were great - at 325,000 new jobs. I think the primary trendfor this bull remains intact - you will make more money - you probably are doing just fine.

Hi, well no, I have no system. I actually think I was probably better off just buying and holding like I used to.
Just trying to do a little damage control. You can see from my account page that I was already 80G and 20I, and today merely went to 90G and 10I. My reason, just trying to lock in a little profit I made on the 10I that I bought for 15.08

That C fund will only cost more as time rolls on - once we get the sp500 through that 1229 level the next stop will be 1254 or above. The current $13.22 price is relatively cheap in reference to your potential gains. Face your fears and come on board.

Take some action on the C fund promptly - don't wait - it will only cost more later. Go in gently with 25% and if it does turn down buy another 25% worth. If it goes up just buy another 25% worth - basically dollar cost average yourself a position. What are you doing with your contributions - G fund is a waste of your hard earned money. It's time to get off the curb and join the parade - march on and upward.

GAWGA,
I'm not new to TSP, but I'm certainly wet behind the ears when it comes to watching my account. I've made at least 14 IFTs since April 18, before taking BT's advice and went 100%C at 13.19 a share. I thought I was buying in too high then. I'm glad I did it.
Now, I need tofigure out do I stay or do I pull out when things do begin to head south. In making my 14 IFT moves I found that timing a move with a 24 hour+ lag time stinks. I've been a fanatic reading others moves and comments and little by little I think I'm beginning to see the bigger picture and hopefully I'll come out ahead.
BT has my vote.

07-28-2005, 01:57 PM
Oh! one more thing. I would have liked to have gotten into S andI funds with about 20% each, but I took BT's recommendation on that too and bought more sharesby going allC. :^
:) But what about Warren Buffets admonishment to sell high and buy low?
GALLO1
07-28-2005, 11:13 PM
Yes, you are correct in your concern. First of all, as all members would agree is that none of us are professionals, so in the end our comments are only opinions and that we each need to make an educated guess on what we decide to do.
I rely heavily on Tom's (tspgo) opinions, he and others I believe will tell youto find a strategy and stick to it. Tom is stickingto his strategy and his market indicators. He has stated more than once that his indicators are some times delayed before they actually come to fruition. Tom and most members on this board are short-term investors, whereas, BT is more of a long-term investor. It does make a difference in your strategy.
If you are long term you are willing to ride through the highs and the lows, dollar-cost-averaging I think plays a bigger factor in the long-term strategy. If you are short-term maybe the market is too high to get into at this point and that is why many that had not gotten earlier are waiting it out in the G-fund. BT is looking for the market to shoot to the stars and so what he’s saying is that if you don’t buy in now you’ll be buying in later at even a higher market price.
I’m sticking it out 100%C through the rest of the year, which qualifies me as a long-term investor. I need to make money, so I’m taking a higher risk. I can’t make money in the G and F funds or at least not the kind of money that I want to make. When the market does retreat I'm considering distributing some of my funds into the S and I.
I’m sharing with you what I think I have learned from this board so far. I’m hoping that other members with more experience will jump in to confirm or dispute what I think that I’ve learned and that way we’ll both learn and that is what this site is really all about.:^
1. Rolo is at another forum.
2. What I hear, generally, those who were in stocks took a loss, went to G and may or may not have re-entered. RE: 59B=G, 93B=CSI.
I learned a lot trading with F____. Most govt employees didn't have a clue, and still don't. Members and guest on this board do. However we are a minority. Thus Life cycle funds to the rescue.

I agree that if it is to mean anything that there ought to be some sort of standards for the ratings and some qualification of the raters to ensure standardization.
Yes, I did note that several others got the "terrible" axe, including you!

There is nothing wrong with being a loyal buy and holder. Have you crossed over - your allocations look good and you are doing the DCA thing, is it working to your satisfaction? I do have one question though, are peaches better when they are chilled?
Let's all have some Peach Ice-Cream!

I think we can afford to add a little extra cream to the peach ice-cream.

Peaches,
If you are worried about recession you really only have one of two choices. You can hide in the G fund and wait it out or you can enter the C fund for some protection and do DCA at 100% and build a position. The weak dollar will be an asset for large cap exports. But you already knew all this. There is only going to be a soft landing - C fund is the place. Snort.

Or the L funds, GG. I'm trying L income out as an alternative to hiding in G. So far no big gains but no big losses either. To win big money I guess you have to risk big money. Of course, you have pretty well this year with the strategy you use.
Well, I jumped out yesterday, and back in today.....
Why? Just cause.
Sometimes, it's a question of which is the lesser of two evils, when you've messed up.
That question remains unanswered.

Introspective?
A cat climbed up somewhere in the attic/rafters/cubbyhole and had a litter of kittens. I have deduced this because about a week and a half ago I heard a cat crying from under the house.....I opened the crawl space door (which the repairman had only just shut tight a few days earlier) and out ran the cat. My husband put the door back on tight.
A few days later we started smelling this horrible smell. My husband has been blaming me for the Decon I put in the cubbyhole. The smell has gotten worse and worse, and now gradually has subsided only a little....it is horrible. My husband has been telling everyone that a rat died in the wall. I didn't think so....I've had that happen before in this house, and the odor was not the same nor as long-lasting. It's like a family of something died.
Okay, tonight, I hear that same stray cat outside in the back crying her heart out.
Yep......there is a family of dead kittens in my house.

I'm starting to feel very lonely here in the I fund. Glad your still holding 70%. I'm still at 100%. So far it's been a very good month. If the I fund is down tomorrow I may start pulling some profits off the table. However, I will not go below 50% exposure! Please don't follow me, my TSP is my "play" money, so to speak.
I'm not following anybody.

Even a market moving sideways can be timed. If it is trending sideways.

Even a market moving sideways can be timed. If it is trending sideways.
Exactly, the bull market is the hardest to time since any move out of the market will generally (on average) be a bad one during a bull run. In a bear market, timing is the easiest, since any move out of the market will generally (on average) be a good one. The sideways market could be one of the most profitable since it is the most likely to run in cycles of up and down.
It ain't quitting time yet!
GA
Don't know how it will turn out on the tracker, but I put the pencil to it, tsp balance this morning, minus all contributions since 1/1/07, minus balance at 1/1/07 = return year to date in $. Then return year to date in $ divided by beginning balance at 1/1/07 = about 1.10% which of course does not include compounding.
Anyway, the point is, there is still a return, obviously greater than if I'd been sitting in G.
So I will not cry like a baby 'bout yesterday.

Congrats on your 1.1%, you're beating 4 of the five funds. Most active traders would take that I think.
Your method is how I track my returns, "very simple, very easy". No spreadsheet required.
One thing though: it does include compounding. Look at it this way. If you put all your contributions in Jan 1st, then minus them out Dec 31st, you see that you are capturing compounded profits on that money. -cheers
Well, now that 1.1 is down to .99

02-01-2007, 12:51 PM
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be better than today. When the public starts buying, it will be in a stock market with a smaller supply of stocks, causing an equity supply shock. That will be good for the long term buy and holder. The ability to step back and use the market to achieve one's goals, rather than trying to follow and beat the market's every move, is key to long term success in investing. That's why I say be right and sit tight.

If I had stayed the course all week thru thursday with my Monday Morning holdings of 30 G, 35 C and 35 S, I would have lost money for the week as of Friday morning.
Instead, by selling the C and S at a loss on Wednesday and going 100I on Wednesday, I made money for the week as of Friday morning.
Proving that it is not always a bad idea to sell at a loss.
Of course, we still don't know what Friday holds (today) so the week is not over yet.

This should work, since many members here have very distracting (to say the least) signature lines that don't get deleted.
The blank line drawn between the content and the signature seems to be the key. If this doesn't work, I'll be forced to file a discrimination suit.

So until he (tsp tom)tells me to stop , Im going to keep doing a couple of words. I dont care if ew guy or others have to edit. I understand when people put all that extra stuff in the body on the transaction, but not at the bottom thats bull . Read the intent of the creator of this board , I wish everyone would. Tell people how to post , so that you will not edit there COMMENTS!!(a couple of words)
Because until the creator of this board say no , none ,nothing, Im continuing!!!
Let the flaming begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dragon,
We can't have flaming here.....so let's don't go there!
I appreciate your understanding, though.
I was trying to figure out how to make my comment legal.....and after viewing other member's posts, I think I have it.
The line drawn between the post and the comment, making the comment part of the signature line.
Not meaning to single any one person out, just go look at Nutt's signature line. There are lot's of others who have comments, or quotes, in their signature line.
That seems to be okay, because of the line drawn first.

A simple request from the guy that is spending a considerable amount of his own time doing us a service for FREE! Absolutely no flaming! We have huge buckets of water just waiting to be used. He is the Moderator of that thread and it is a simple request to make it easier and quicker for him to track everyone. If you continue, we can lock your thread and drop you off of the track. It's up to you.

That's just plain wrong.
My first home as a young bride of 16 was a 55 foot single-wide, and it was indeed split level (stepped up into the kitchen)......complete with wharf-rats, no washer and dryer (did diapers in the sink), and screw-on legs on all the beds and furniture. I'm proud of my roots! Now here I sit in a home appraised at $500,000 on a nice lake with a boat in the boat-house. Those early lean days only inspired me to make chicken salad out of chicken $#@!
I'm a little tad worried about my 50% S money for tommorrow. (On another note.)

BTW, I was not attacking your prized egg. I too think he is doing a great job. It's just in the past we have had a lot of people make claims to fame. I do believe his 11%. I was just trying to point a fact out to him.

All is well. I am just a mother hen protecting her egg! He's kinda sensitive and I don't want to scare him away.
You're smart too and have a lot on the ball.....don't want to scare you away either!

I'm scared. I wanted to jump out today, but nobody blinked so here I still sit going into Thursday 80 I and 20 S.
I saw Swamp Puppy bailed.
I'm working out of town and it's hard to get to computer so I will probably post a move to G Thursday morning before leaving home.

I know how you feel GG. I was out of town two weeks ago with no internet connection in my room. Had to sit in the lobby for wireless connection. Then there was no internet in one of the airports so I ended up missing an IFT. I got lucky that day but I was on pins and needles the whole time. Sometimes not being able to fiddle with the account is good. I may have to come up with a standard on-the-road-plan for IFTs.
I Like your posts. I also pay close attention to most of the guys/gals you follow.

If you have phone service, you can transfer using the thrift line.
I did that on April 2nd. While the transfer went through, I wasn't able to post the transaction in time to be tracked. So, somewhat like 12%, my actual returns are higher, by about 0.90%, than are shown on the tracker.
I blinked like a little scared rabbit! (may change later if find computer)
WW, FWIW, you don't have to tip toe around me about your actual earnings vs. your tracked earnings....I'd rather know your real earnings any day. So feel free to tell me your real earnings in my talk account anytime!

I forgot about the thriftline, thanks WW.
I have also missed reporting a couple of my transfers also. On the road for one and just plain forgot on another. I didn't even know I was having my returns logged. I'm about 1.5% above what is being reported since there was a good run that the tracker had me in the G for. No big deal.

What a Dunce, went from big early week gain to probably loss for week!

I'm hoping it swings back up. Meantime we can HOPE!!
Well, maybe not a loss, but not the gain I could have had if I wasn't such a dunce.
I guess "not a loss" should satisfy me.....we'll see what the S does today.

Incredibly, am up by .99% for the week. I'm very grateful. This must mean that others who were smarter than me and got out sooner really popped for the week! That's a good thing.

Make that up .28%. I knew the .99% was too good to be true!
Let's see. .28% a week, times 52 weeks = about 15%....

Now that I'm on my own again, its scary out here! Even if I didn't always do what 12 said, it was very comforting to know that I could if I wanted to.

Yes, I've put on a little weight, but still like to keep myself up you know.

Still thinking.
