Looking at the bust of the 200 day moving average to determine an entry point back on the carrousel.
Done with the fluctuations during Fed minutes revelations and oil supply disconnects. Going to camp in the G for a while. I will add that too much variance is introduced in the afternoon to make any IFT in confidence towards higher gains. Ooops, that was a long sentence!

Oz never did give nothing to the Tinman, that he didn't...didn't already have.

Just when you think you remember the important stuff, the TSP password doesn't work. Wait an hour, try again. Get busy, try in the afternoon. Still not working. Try the next day, hoping to get in an IFT between a root canal, wisdom tooth extraction, and pre-cap work. But no. No talk-ee, no type-ee, just want to nap all day for the novocaine to wear off.
So now I have my password down pat, and the entry point has gone by 'like a dead cat on a trampoline' (John Ross quote in a Whipsaw thread).
Back at a possible entry point. Markets tried to regain levels after a 2% drop but began today heading south. Again. Going to look at an incremental entry with 10% in each of the C, S, and I today. Ready to pull the plug but want to add another IFT to this percentage if we get more downside.
More talk about the economy is not strong enough for a Fed rate hike, and that growth is stymied. I am going contrarian just to see if this can make a change in my 877 positional standing. Riding the G does not help the yield rate!
Happy September to all. October is soon to be here (go away in May, don't be seen until Halloween).
Moved to 30% in both C and S, with a reduction of G to 30%. 10% remains in the I for the gray horse lined up on the outside post.
Even with that deep cut below 18K on the DOW previously, resistance became support just above 18K. Hanging my play on that technical observation in a purely subjective manner.
Day One after the Monthly IFT expenditures: At 11:20AM, the markets are light on volume but showing a gain. No Escape To The G today.

Road the wave of worry up to 2PM EDT and caught a whiff of fresh air at 2:15PM EDT. Keeping the 30/30/30/10. Not convinced the 100 I like FAB would role into the dough. I am not young enough and too close to retirement to risk more than I am already with the current mix.
Good luck during the September Summer Cessation. October is near.

Been staying in this market since my entry point like our black cat sleeping on my Green Bay Packer velour blanket. There were some distractions, but the current picture is not too bleak.
Decline today at 11:40 has very light volume. Staying in the 30/30/10 C/S/I.
BTW, thanks to those that have served (post Veterans Day Monday!)

Still in at 30-30-10, C-S-I.
Looking at the close of the Record Breaking Day, volume says to hang in there. Looking for a possible exit (but who isn't anyway?).

Bailing. Listening to the Ira Epstein and Charting Wealth song and changing my dance steps. 100% F today.
Considering the offer on Ira's webpage for the $69.99 Chart School stuff. Christmas special.
Happy holidays. My Christmas Wish for all: Do something to bring a smile to those less fortunate than you.

Plunged through my Ira Epstien-derived stop point (on an apex of the swingling) in the F. Moved to the G with Dreamboat Annie and the G Willikers.
The G is about as far as I can get from the madding crowd....or maddening.....or just plain crazy.......as we transition from a non-business skilled politician to an non-politics skilled businessman as our nation's Chief Executive.
The King is dead. Long live the King.

Hi DaddyTin,
Im really kicking myself for not taking advantage of that low-priced $69.99 training offer from
Ira Epstein. Did you take it? If so, let us know what you think of it. I think it also included use of their charting software.
