Dang- now I am looking at the numbers and thinking that maybe today is a DEAD CAT BOUNCE.


Should I cancel the move back into stocks?

Or should I go with the gut and make it all back in???



Come on baby- daddy needs a new pair of shoes....

Looks like they're on the rebound at the moment. You may be vindicated yet!

Now I am in trouble.

I just got bold- moving to 100% "I" fund today- just for the heck of it.

Either I will do well..or I am about to lose big time.

Wish me luck.

Good luck! Looking good so far.

James, Good Luck to you! I thought of doing the same thing, but decided to play it safe.

OK_ Here I am, sitting in "G", and looking at the world markets.

GE delivered worse than expected earnings on Friday- and the market tanked pretty good.

I kind of expected that. It has been doing very well for a long time, and now we're getting mixed messages.



So- here we are. Futures are showing higher today. I was expecting a slightly lower day, not a higher day. So that confuses me a bit.

Dollar is stronger by almost 1/2 %. Leads me to believe the "I fund" is not the place I want to move into, even though it has been very good lately.


"S" fund, traditionally the pillar of strength, is lagging the S&P and the Dow this morning. Making me wonder if this is actually a late-stage skid that would make the "C" fund a better investment short term than the "S" fund is.

We've been here before. I am sure that we are in the late stages of an up move that is going to have to take a rest shortly. But there may still be some strength left in the markets - seems to be lots of folks who move to the sidelines on Friday.



So I am debating whether to jump back in today, or wait another. Let's see how the morning breaks.

Good luck.

Moving 100% to "C" fund today.

Good luck.

Good luck! Agreed that C and Dollar seem strongest right now.

Changed my mind at the last second and cancelled the transfer.

What changed is that I looked carefully at a 10X scale P&F chart for the S&P-500, and it told me that today's high was lower than the previous one, which is an inidicator (to me at least) that the next couple of days will be a downward movement, not an upward one.

SO I bailed at the last second and cancelled my interfund transfer.


I hope I did the right thing- I had less than a minute to spare when I cancelled it.

Crossing fingers, and hoping for a better place to buy in in two or three days.

Much better than jumping in and then bailing the next day, burning two IFTs in the process!

Unless that jump in and out is a 2% swing, not bad for a 1 month gain.
