FWM... I do value your thoughts and insights, but their value quickly diminishes after 1200! Have a great weekend!
The above has been my guiding light the past few months, and has kept me well above the indices so far this year.
But 2 weeks ago...COVID cases started going up in nearly half the states (way more than the added testing BS excuse).
Now, hospitalizations are starting to go up in most of those states. Thats what medical scientists said would happen.
Beijing just had to go into shutdown mode again.
Things getting worse in the middle of summer is NOT what the market was banking on during the rally of the past 3 months.
I could be wrong...or maybe I'm right but my timing is off. So with that uncertainty, I'll bank whatever I make today in the S fund, and take half off the table.
Leaving 100% S position and going 50% G and 50% S COB today.
CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT

Weatherweenie's Account Talk

COVID Cases rising sharply in over 20 states, including big ones like Florida, Texas and California...casting doubt on success of re-opening.

CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT
Locking in near 3% monthly gain.
Exiting 100% S and using 1st Aug IFT to temporarily go 100% G COB today.
CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT
Using 2nd Aug IFT to re-position on (what seems like) a down day.
Leaving 100% G and going 50/50 C and S COB today.
CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT
Using 1st Sep IFT to just reposition from 50% C and 50% S into 100% S COB today.
It likes like we've bottomed, at least in the short term...but lots of uncertainty for October.

Was considering using 1st OCT IFT yesterday to lock in 1.91% S fund gain.
Now...with POTUS COVID situation, (and just announced that Trump is experiencing symptoms now), and the fact that others around him could end up positive in the coming days, this has the potential to be a slow moving Black Swan event
I see the S has not fallen as much as other indices, actually flirting with positive territory as I write this. Who knows where it ends up by COB, but locking in any monthly gain now seems better than seeing what happens in the next several days.
Using 1st Oct IFT to leave 100% S position and go 100% G COB today.
CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT
Not liking the volatility (with downward stock trajectory).
Have locked in nearly 2% for the month by leaving stocks for the -G- in early Oct, and normally would use that last monthly IFT to go back into stocks. However, will use 2nd Oct IFT to try to make some $$ in the -F-.
Leaving 100% G and going 100% F by COB today.
CURRENTLY 100% G (as of COB 03/18/2024) 1st March IFT
Hate buying in near recent highs...BUT...Don't Fight the Fed, the Vaccine Rollout, AND nearly 1 Trillion Stimulus Deal.
Leaving 100% F and going 50% C and 50% S COB today.
