If the market keeps this up we will be drinking coffee sold in a white can that says "Coffee" and most likely we will use the grounds twice.

Looks like I got into beer brewing at a good time. $10 for a case of IPA, though a lot of work involved

You doing it wrong if you have a hobby and it feels like work.

It's relaxing, just time consuming. Taking a break now just because I don't have time with the holidays and all

I'm gonna try and ONE DAY MOVE to try and capture a bounce back tomorrow. I'm seeing a better than 50-50% chance of a rebound for at least one day.

I haven't used any moves yet this month- so here is the first. When the "S" Fund is down -11.0 plus% in a single month, it tells me we HAVE to take a rebound somewhere. I am gambling that we are there right now, and that tomorrow will be a one-day relief, maybe bouncing up a percent or two.

Note: I will be on an airplane tomorrow. I am moving 100% to "C" right now, and will then enter a move BACK into "G" AFTER the noon deadline, so that I will get ONE DAY in stocks. I will either win, or lose, but I am feeling its a higher probability for the win tomorrow.

Wish me luck. This one is totally gambling- not investing.

Good luck.
You got some extra to spare if it goes wrong.
BTW, I don't disagree with you, I'm feeling there will be a pop tomorrow as well.

Good luck! I considered doing the same thing today myself. But I'm too Chicken!

I am SO SCREWED.


So - Paul Ryan said Trump isn't going to sign the Senate version of the CR. So- while it looked this morning like we were going to get a budget CR extension this afternoon (and therefore likely a bump up with a breath tommorrow), now, once again, all bets are off.

So I am going to be buying at the close today- and NO IDEA what tomorrow will bring.


Isn't this fun?


(Crosses fingers.....)


Note: The S&P 500 just broke into a P&F Chart "Bearish Resistance Line."

Changes my expectation to continued bearish for a while.

AND.....at the close, we're sitting on a big down day- like 2% down. Will wait to see the final number, but it 's a big down day.

Got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

AND I have placed my SECOND MOVE- to be effective at the close of the day tomorrow. Going to jump back to 90% "G" fund, 5% "F Fund, and 5% L-Income as of the close of business on Friday.



(So that makes it "C: for Tomorrow, then back to safety for tomorrow night, looking for a MAGIC DAY IN THE MARKET TOMORROW.)



Flying first thing tomorrow morning to CALIFORNIA for a week long sail on a 45-foot sailboat. Christmas on the boat in Long Beach/Catalina Island.

See you all after Christmas ! HoHoHo!
