    Anyone that bought the VIX a week ago has tripled their money. And I'm pretty sure there's a 3x VIX ETF, right? Good lord.

    Note to Nutt: that Andy Borowitz piece- that was humor.

    Note to the future: right now I am seeing wecare about 2/3rds the way through this loss blip. I am seeing perhaps down to 2547- to 2521 in the S&P as the bottom. We are going to hit that area and bottom out in the next 3 to 5 days. I think we’ll have one false bottom, maybe at 2570, before sliding down a wee bit more- but then I’m going to go full in at 2550 or so. That’s my prediction.

    (Can I get my own psychic line?)

    We shall see-

    Note: Volume!!!

    Nobody is trading. No sellers and no buyers right now- looks like we did about a third of a normal days trading.

    I expect two or three more days of havoc, settling in down about 4-5% more from here, and then the money will begin flowing back in.

    Just sitting here admiring one of my most precious treasures- a genuine solid .999 pure Silver TSPTalk official coin.

    Days like this make me appreciate the wonderful friends I’ve made over the years here on TSPTalk. You all are really treasures too.

    Let's hope we don't see another 4-5% tacked onto what we have already suffered. I would hope we see a little up and down just to allow us to catch our breath.
    May the force be with us.

    Boldly going where no man has gone before......

    I'm jumping BACK into the pool.

    Silly me. I think that little dip was just what the doctor ordered to remind people it can be scary out here.


    Moving to:

    C=33%
    S= 34%
    I= 33%

    as of COB today.

    James!! You were spot on!!

    Sorry, I know it's frustrating when you call something and I hear you, you think it'll run away before it hits your target. I had a target on the S fund at 1040 over a year ago which it never hit, and it took off from around 1180 up into the 1400's before this downturn.

    Note to "Future James" - listen to "Past James".

    Note to self- I’m seeing amazingly positive stuff. The dip has successfully passed, and we are looking like a quick resumption of upward movement is in the cards.

    I’m in right now with a 33/34/33 mix, and will be watching the trend over the next two weeks. If I still have the one trade left near the end of the month, it will likely be used to shift into whichever fund looks like it is accelerating upward at that time.

    “I “ is still underperforming a bit- let’s see what the rest of the month holds.

    “All clear” for the dip, settled comfortably back into stocks and upward we go.

    Gain this cycle against the “c”=. I’m ahead a little over 3% ahead of “C” fund for the year to date. That wasn’t as much as I hope on that swing, but he’ll, it was the first ripple in ages- it was quite rewarding to hit it as well as I did. Now cross fingers and take a breath.

    Power drive confirmed- I see higher ahead. I’m studying now to confirm that I want to shift to “c” for everything in my next move. That is where my head is at at the moment. Will re-evaluate tomorrow before noon.
