I realize it all works itself out eventually, but it was rather painful at the time!

Just gotta remember... no pain, no gain.

Remind me that next week when we begin to sell-off, OK???

Yep, and hopefully we all learn from our experience. It might be a good thing you're not on the I Fund today with that hefty FV looming above your head. Planning to ride it out though, all through next week. Good luck.

I'm an official daywalker now!!!

Nice to be off the night shift.

Look out Mr. Market... I can play YOU now.

lol... good for you daywalker, and thank god for holiday delays. I put in my transfer to G on Sunday, but it didn't go through until after Monday's close. It got me a few more bucks out of I. I'll sit on G for the free money then move back to I or S depending on what news comes along. It's been a sweet past two weeks for me.

Leave it to a bunch of Commies to wreck the markets for a week. it's a good time to be a "G". Hopefully things will be better on Monday.

Yep!

I'll be hitting the road on Saturday and will be away for about 3 weeks, with intermintent internet access.

Still trying to decide how I want to allocate things.

Going on vacation...

Effective Tuesday:

100 I

God Bless

Good luck with I; it has certainly done me good over the last 2 weeks. I made a switch to S for Monday though. I think the US markets typically overreact to bad news and then have to correct. I expect that is what will happen on Monday at least.

I hope your vacation is going well, Rod. I thought I'd post just to keep your thread up on the board. Moving to the S fund (from the I) proved to be a wash as the S is .35% and the I is up .56% (not enough difference for me to be concerned as I think the S will still outpreform the I for the week), but the C is up .57% for the week and has the most potential upside and downside for the week. I'll hedge my bets with regards to the US market though and contiue with the S for the remainder of the week I expect. This will mark the first consecutive two-week period in some time that I've maintained a consistant allocation in one fund (last week being I and this week S).

I'm enjoying the time with my Wife. Thanx.

I finally got some internet connection at the hotel. I was having problems with the wireless, then went to dial-up. The wireless is good to go now.

I was seriously considering pulling out of (I) yesterday. But, my timing seems to be off here lately with constantly being on the road since last Aug. It's looking like I'll be paying for that today. I don't believe I will beat or even match my return last year of nearly 8%. I'll probably be lucky to beat the (G)!

I just need to find my groove again.

Perhaps I should just hang out in (G) until I get a handle on things. But what fun is there in that!

Since I'm practically bringing up the rear on the tracker, I'm hanging onto, "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first"!

God Bless

Not liking this... last time I yanked the anchor too soon. So, might as well "bear" this temporary pain, IF it is indeed temporary. I just don't want to ride down a correction like I did in May, if that's what's happening. Japan is going to have a hissy for the 13th, though. I'll be watching closely.

I really hate to be bothered with the market while on vacation, but I got myself into (I).

My problem is that I've been early with my moves... when will I ever learn...

C'mon 4th Q... I seem to do better then.

Had to delete you Sugar. Sorry.
