    So the first day of this trade did not work out as planned, losing -0.35%. I guess I shouldn't be surprised after the big gain in the market on Wednesday. Everything looked great when I submitted my IFT, I think the market was up about 0.60% at that time, but then after the noon deadline, the market shot up more than anyone expected and I ended up buying high. But I guess that's the breaks when you only get 2 IFT's per month and they have to be submitted by noon...

    Hopefully day two will be better.

    Good luck everyone!!!

    So I reduced exposure today by moving the 50% I had in the S Fund into the G Fund, effect COB 11/29/18. No confidence in the meeting this weekend between the President and Xi, so I may completely exit tomorrow.

    Good luck everyone!!!

    I am probably out of my mind, but I am going to hang in one more day in hopes that we get a bounce tomorrow.

    Going to be interesting to see how many folks on Autotracker end up negative for 2018...

    First IFT for December submitted today. 100% G Fund. I still have one IFT left for the Santa rally, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Scrooge shows up instead.

    Depending on how the day goes, I will be in the red for 2018.

    If I hear one more person on TV tell me how great the economy is and how strong the fundamentals are, I'm going to throw a brick right through the screen...

    Thanks to today's market action, I am now -0.57% year to date. I still have one IFT left and if we get a Santa rally and I time it just right, I still have an opportunity to get back into positive territory.

    So a little food for thought: On 20 Sep 18, the S&P (C Fund) closed at a new all time high of 2930.75. Since that day, the G Fund has gained 0.65%, the F Fund has gained 0.95%, the C Fund has lost -9.76%, the S Fund has lost -13.69, and the I Fund has lost -10.80%.

    Have a great weekend.
