Heck I was skeptical for the last half of 2013 and you know what that got me? A lost chance to make money. I was waiting and waiting for a pullback that never happened. I'm hoping I can ride this month out invested so I have both IFTs in March to use to get out and back in if need be.
That's what I'm finding since I started this new strategy in January. I've been considering going with the long run strategy of sticking with a 50/50 C/S split or 100 S, but I'd at least like to time my entry to get more shares for my dollar. According to an article on TSP millionaires I read earlier today, the long run strategy seems to be their preference.
Happened to me as well, and a lot of other people, it's tough to outperform a bull market. In my experience it also seems harder to call a top than a bottom.
had much more success trading when i stopped trying to short the market as well, but instead just waiting for good times to buy
This is exactly why I have my rule of staying in at least 50% stocks during Bull markets. Same is true of Bear markets. I stay out at least 50%.
The system has no warning signs but we need to get above the highs still. A failure is trouble. What constitutes a failure? I guess for my system its a drop below the 50 dma.
I am back to about even with the C fund. That makes me smile. If I can just keep it going!
Another sell for me would be an RSI over 70 but we have some room.

Market working as my system predicted. I expect new highs soon. We have some time until until the RSI gets into overbought zone and we're well above the 50DMA's.
RSI of 70 is a warning flag on S&P but S fund is up to about 80. This is just based on my past experience. Since I'm in S and I funds I'll be watching them closely.
