Thread: sgtbriangreen's account talk

Finger on the trigger to bail. Some of yall (a lot smarter than me) keep saying the rally isnt done yet, just taking a breath. My gut says to cut bait and bail. If I bail, Im done for the month.

Should I stay, or should I go now.......

I bailed. IFT 100% G COB today.

Just remember, no one can call the market moves every time, there are a lot of people on this site that are very good at identifying patterns and have a great understanding of fundamental market analysis (I'm not one of them), but the market has a mind of its own. Case in point, last Thursday I went in (albeit a small amount 40%) when almost everyone was saying that the market was going to drop big time over the holiday weekend, but I went in because I had a gut feeling and it worked out well. Anyway, my point is to read and learn what you can, but make your own decisions because it is your money. Also, don't forget it doesn't have to be all or nothing, you can limit risk exposure by going in partially, or getting out partially. It will limit your ability to make the big gains when the market jumps up, but it will also limit your losses if the market tanks, then if you feel it's the right time, you can put the rest in (at a lower cost) and dollar cost average.

I read almost everybody's posts and make my decisions based on 50% gut feeling, and 50% on what others tend to do. With this crazy volitility, I have only been going in 50%. Hopefully today finishes at least flat so I can keep what I made yesterday.

IFT COB today 40% S, 10% C. I would like to see today close kinda flat as the market takes a breath, then climb like I have missed. Should have never gotten out on the 18th. Hindsight is 20/20.

And today is gonna hurt.

GO BABY GO! Can we get a close over 2021? Rally to the end!!!!!

Still in 40% S, 10% C. Probably will stay in until at least Tuesday. Finger will be on the eject button when the FED talks. Well see. Hopefully JTH is right and we can fill that gap at 2040. It will be up to the FED though.

Thats a very good allocation. I'll be ready to hit the eject as well.

Best wishes to you and everyone on.your investments !!!!!!

What was that sudden dive at the end of the day about? SPX, SPY, DWCPF, and Nasdaq all show it as well as a spike in the VIX at the same time. This scares me for the premarket and tomorrow's open. Finger on the eject button.

Good thing is tomorrow, about 5 guys I enlisted get back from deployment. I'm going to see them when they get off the bus.

I saw that as well, didn't see any corresponding events at the time. Futures are down, will see how the market reacts to the reports that hit today.

IFT COB today 75%G, 25%F. From 50G, 40S, 10C.
