Well, today I gained back 1.52% of my 3.61% loss from last week and yesterday. 2.09% deficit still to make up.

I'll probably be in longer than a couple days unless it tanks.

God Bless

I lost about 7% the last two weeks, but you gotta play to make some, I treat the TSP basically the same was as you it's not my nest egg, of course it could be if I make bundles, but hopefully I'll double my account by the time I retire in about 5 years. Good Luck.

Yeah, it definitely isn't my nest egg. But I do try to trade as if it were because being reckless with any amount of $$$ is pure stupidity. If you remember, before I jumped back in I was in (G) for about 2 months. I simply jumped back in prematurely. Bad move, we all make them. So, I don't let it get to me. I try to find that silver lining... and so far it has been buying (I) @ 19.10. If it falls below that, I may have to reconsider my strategy of holding out in (I).

Looks like today is going to be a good day all around. Japan should react positively and set us up for another good day tomorrow.

ATPIT, I have no plans of exiting (I) anytime soon.

If it falls below 19.10 (where I bought in), then I will consider it.

Until then, I'm in long.

God Bless

Rod,

Are you saying you don't have any G money available? I was going to ask you for a loan - $200,000 goes alot further than my dollar cost averaging purchase this week. Good luck on that I fund - hope you can handle the gravity forces on take off.

I've been 100 (I) since 23 May.

Trying to make up for that 3.61% loss. I should have 2.06% remaining to make up after today. I still have 33 years to make that up.

Perhaps I'll go long for 33 years... but what fun would that be??? Gotta get my kicks trading.

God Bless

I've had my ups and downs, but so far so good with fishing the bottom of the (I). I bought in @ 19.10.

If it falls below that, I will consider bailing.

God Bless

I said if the (I) fund were to fall below my target price that I would consider selling. It's now .07 below that price of 19.10.

I've considered it, and I'm staying.

If you want high returns, volatility is the price of the ticket.

I'm as risky as they come. Makes for great entertainment.

Took the risk and it didn't pay off. For future reference, I believe I will pull out once the share price drops below my buy-in price. On a positive note, the Nikkei opened UP nearly 100 points for the 9th and is nearing +137.

God Bless
