    It would not be unreasonable to see a turnaround later today into the positive zone. I'm headed out the door for a few hours - back to the garden. I've got to scratch up some home made compost and prep my soil with a little Black Cow. Then I'll be ready to do some planting. My tomatoes survived the winter of 18 degrees and are now full of flowers. Snort.

    Now today was an interesting day. I came in once from my garden work to check the market and the Dow was down -166 - nothing I can do about that. But we closed down -88 so mom and pop were buying. I need to make another $70K before I can start building my flower power pot to do more buying - I refuse to take any profits to raise cash. I need all my wall flowers working for me at these levels of the bull market. Here is what my oceanic did this week: +$16K, -$79K, +$29K, +$93K, -$20K for a gain of +$39K. That reduces my two week loss to $48K. We'll make that back next week. I wish the Egyptian military would go help the Libyan people. The U.S. has trained them well over the years and now they are really needed.

    If this momentum continues I should have adequate flower buying power by the end of the week.

    "Because retail investors have returned to the market only recently, the rally could have even more to run before the bears takeover."

    The flowers I'm looking at right now are AWH, HS, URI and WAC. And I've held SSN for a while because I knew the company and it's doing well as long as oil prices stay up. FWIW.

    I'm all for happy news.

    I reserve the right to be pessimistic though while collecting my gains.
    Ended 2011 with 4.3%. Well, at least it was positive.

    Goodnight Birch

    I thought about packing a pair of Sticky Pants -- but was afraid it might mess up the suitcase.

    For the TSP, the C-fund gained 0.91% yesterday, the S-fund jumped 1.21%, the I-fund ticked up 0.02%, and the F-fund (bonds) lost 0.19%.

    Boy Howdy BT, the I fund sure lost its shorts yesterday, a whole 0.02!!

    That kinda sent you aways below the S train, didnt it?
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.

    I may have the I fund fair value in my favor today. It could be another bumpy day.
