Thanks for the kind words. I decided to be a little more active this year...so far so good. On pace for a 156% return this year.

Well, if your still on that pace after another couple weeks, you'll have a big pack following your every move -- me included!

Beauty....Love that song...where's Marlon Brando?

What a nice morning for the markets!

So here is my thoughts for the day and as close to any type of technical analysis that you will get from me.

From 2/01 to 5/7 the C, S, I funds have had the following highs and lows (in terms of share prices), and I have included yesterday's numbers

C: $26.19 - $28.07 ($27.74)

S: $35.90 - $38.90 ($37.76)

I: $24.60 - $27.04 ($26.34)

So if the morning highs hold, all three funds might end up at their 3 month highs. I am thinking about jumping out as a result. Thoughts?

I think we will go higher. I'm waiting until next week. But then again I'm only at 3.59% right now. Was near 7% earlier. So what do I know?

You know enough to stay informed and educated about your retirement money. And that my friend, is more than 70% of Federal Employees are doing. Stay engaged and informed and best of luck.

All I want is more margin buying power to bring me more happiness. Fear will hold you back from making money.

I entered the I fund before noon yesterday anticipating a bounce after the recent pull back. I wasn't anticipating this type of bounce! I pulled the plug before noon. I didn't have the ***** to stay in longer. Hopefully I made my 1% for the month in 24 hours. This market scares the crap out of me.

I made some costly mistakes early this year. I've learned to cash in when you made your money and to not get greedy! Staying long in 2015 is not in my hand. I stink at playing cards anyway!
