    I did the same, moving to G on Dec 31st. Just didn't trust all the negativity with the only positive being seasonality.

    Good luck this year and good riddance 2020...

    I reduced to 25% S and may regret not getting out completely, but for the same reason the market may be down even further tomorrow, it could just as easily go up. Nobody can predict that primary election tomorrow any better than they can predict the weather.

    I got whacked by Covid-19 and never did recover. I am not going to be able to get to enjoy this for long. I go from #565 to #17. Tomorrow I’m headed back down again.

    The market is supposed to dislike uncertainty, is today's pop a result of the GA runoffs? Then the Electoral event in the Senate... what time is that? This strength doesn't make sense to me. The 'forward looking' market is seeing what, exaclty? Crystal ball... where are you when I need you. Wait, I never had one.

    Yea, it's confusing to me too. I had read that if the democrats take control the market would tank by 10% or more.

    Market is seeing another Trillion being pumped into the economy via 2K Covid relief promised by Dems, as well as major (non-wall) infrastructure projects coming in this year, along with Fed keeping rates low for forseeable future.

    I did read something along those lines in Marketwatch this morning. We'll see what happens at 1300, apparently when the Senate meets.

    Hmmm ... same thing we read about Trump before 2016. That didn't work out so why expect them to be correct this time around?

    S-Fund currently above the upper Bollinger Band, if it stays true to form it should drop back inside, possibly to Bquat's lower rising channel (maybe not quite?), entry point should be approaching.

    S-fund has somewhat of a shooting start out the top of the upper BB; that and the stochs are in the +90 range, an exit point if I had stayed in :-/
    Lots of bullishness, will evaluate in the next week an entry - it will probably have been today.

    Waiting for some sort of pull back or correction that many are talking about. Seems the exit call above was wrong, but my entry call (that I didn't follow) was good.

    MW has articles about the market going down, Yellen talking of interest rate hikes, talk of corrections, overvaluation, open gaps all over below current levels, warnings of pull backs, people yelling... all we need now is a Hindenburg omen... yet, the market marches higher, NAAIM is bulled up... I don't get it.
