Thanks but I dunno.....Futures down -230 pts on DOW mini....dang!! .
But I thought they might move up or down a bit...but not this.....oh well!

Exiting to G fund 100%. I looked at charts and while I would like to stay in to see how it goes on Thursday, I am looking at charts and with the downturn this morning, the C fund is dropping in momentum. I must exit per my strategy. uggh…… out I go! If we do not drop further, I may actually still end day in positive territory but regardless, I live to fight another day when the Santa Rally starts. Just anticipating a pull back now and with this market, no idea how much that will be.

Earlier this morning we were down more 200 on Dow, then it backed off to only be down around 84 pts and then after Trump tweet on China it dropped to 200 again. Humm….I think the negotiations are not nearly complete. Would love to see market breakthrough the current overhead resistance, but doesn't look like that will happen this week... but who knows... anything can happen!

Best Wishes to you All !!!!!

I got lucky on this trade for sure. I have been operating under my bear market rules for a while now and volatility has let me make some good money off of using both trades the past two months. Now that ^VIX is headed back down I will have to adjust my mindset some and look at the longer term. If it drops into the 15's then I'll probably be back to a buy and holder. Hoping for a Santa rally to start sometime soon...maybe next week.

Yep...but it bounced at 21. I think it was Birch...or another one (Show-me maybe) from years ago, that put it in my head that 15ish to 21ish ^VIX was the tug of war zone for volatility. You can have volatile bulls/bears and low volatile bulls/bears outside of that range but that range is where they seem to dog it out.

This fight is obviously not done between the two.

Regarding the S fund...I didn't think it would hit there today but here we are at the 1310 range. This has to hold or we are headed for a 4th test of 1284 since October 24. Next stop under that is probably 1226 - 1240 range.

One more day like this and we are in serious bear territory.

Ok ...so this totally sucks.....once again our 4 hour window to wait , cross fingers and pray for nothing bad to happen has gotten me again...I HATE TSP!!!!! I feel sick...… Do I seem just a little pissed off to you????? Boo...Hisss… hum... anybody want to jump in now? My friend Patron... where are you when I need you!!!

I finally hit positive territory to now drop back down... why I am not surprised??? .. .. here I go again! Digging!

The only good news is that I only was in 50%. uggh… it makes me feel so much better... not!

I feel for ya! Thursday should be very telling after today. Both C and S closed at support level ranges. But both ended on a very strong down trend. I am glad I got out but I sure didn't see this coming! I was thinking we might give back part of yesterday, or maybe all of it, but not this pain for sure! Coolhand should have some good comments to read tonight!

Yesterday must have been payback for the bears. Took nice bite out of the account and I was a little more that a thousand away from breaking even for 2018.

Now that is funny! I actually tried to put in more gif's because I was pretty pissed off... then I hit the submit button and found out there was a limit of 10 !!!! uggh….. its like not being able to punch a pillow as many times as you want! Afterwards... I thought it funny … LOL...

P.S. I may need to invest in a heavy bag!
