    I'm going back in to 100% stocks for Friday although both investment service conflict each other 180 degrees and my system tells me to only go 50%

    but reading all the bad news reports for 2005 I want to climb up that wall of worry

    allocation 32C 50S & 28 C

    GTO:end:

    LOL. You just corrected my fund allocation typo and there you go.

    Looks like you are getting pretty aggressive (I assume that 2nd C is actually the I fund). I forget where you had been invested GTO. Have you been idle or trading without us?

    The 25 years compressed in one year chart shows the C Fund performs better than the S Funds for the month of October...

    I think it was more like Bush was caught in a fire rather than starting one butthe market does not seem to mind this AM. Only the spin doctors aka Ginzberg and Hughes are claimingthat Bushwon the debate.

    Like I said, the market was looking for any excuse to go up. This one was, "Hey, Bush almost won!" Or "Woohoo!Bush came insecond!"

    Bush's people think he won. Kerry's think he won. Undecideds - if there are any - probably thought Kerry won on style while Bush won on substance.

    In other words, it was a draw. Neither one said anything new last night. Of course, the media will play this up as a Kerry win in order to give him some traction and try to tighten the race (most members of the media are democrats, after all). In the grand scheme of things though, I really don't see much changing - until the next debate. If we continue to get these stalemates, Bush will be re-elected, probably by 5 points / 50 electoral votes.

    What to watch out for: the last minute pre-election mud-slinging. In 2000, they came out with the 20+ year old DWI story. This time around, we may see something that isn't even legitimate (read: 60 minutes national guard "documents"). :P

    I really don't know why the market fears a democrat in the white house - the last time we had divided gov't, it did pretty well.

    Pete,

    Without enter in political debate...

    I respect you opinion...

    In my opion...

    Bush WONin substance and Kerry WON in Style

    Kerry

    Strength: Why we had not got Bin Laden yet and why we rely on Pakistan to do so?

    Strength: Good articulation (Style)



    Weakness: Will not go to war unless it pass a "Global Test".

    Weakness: Call for international summit and askhelp for a war He think is wrong.



    Bush:



    Strength: Will not ask for permission to go to war and defend American People.

    Strength: Empower the people of Iraqi to self govern themselves and be a model.



    Weakness: Did not answer why Hedid not got Bin Laden when He could.

    Weakness: Poor articulation. (Style)



    Bottomline the market is doing GREAT what it suppose to do in the first few days of

    October... Profit from it...



    Have a Great Weekend...



    Leon

    At this point which Funds will perform better of the others and WHY ismy question now...

    I invite for Brainstorming ideas... ;-)

    Let's co-reflect on the topic... is you like...

    My only contributions is that C Fund historicaly had performed better that the S Fund

    on the 25 years compressed 1 year chart.... and big caps usually perfomed better

    during interest rate rise period but I seem the S Fund outperform the S...

    Also the I Fund had outperfomed C and S... but perhaps the oil is about to come

    down... and the dollar to go bullish... and the I Fund may not be the best place...

    What do you think ?

    It is the fear of rising corporate taxes.
