Thread: amoeba's Account Talk

I am 100% in G. When will be a good time to move some of it out? Would I fund be a good option?

The ultimate choice is yours and yours only. Don't let anybody tell you what to do with your money. We can suggest and ask why someone moved from one fund to another. Read, read, read and learn, learn learn. Track some of the leaders and get a feel for how and why they do what they do. The "I" fund has been doing well since summer of 2012, but the "S" fund has been doing better than both the "C" and "I" funds. Good luck.

Or perhaps you might want to try the premium services temporarily just to see how that would work for you. I did that in the past but got out for no particular reason; as Nasa1974 indicates, read and learn, track the leaders, read their posts, read Tom's daily comments, the various blogs, check the autotracker frequently and as mentioned by NASA1974, the choice is ultimately yours. Good luck.

LMBF method is a good one to follow, or do like me the past couple years was the "Follow ContrarianJeff until i feel confident enough about trying this on my own" method lol

Amoeba

I see you made a move recently, reducing your risk in the small/mid caps. I'm curious as to your age, sometimes age helps me understand someone's risk tolerance. I'm 39ish, the all in, go big or go home type, so I can afford to cut my teeth and make some mistakes (so long as I learn from them.)

Well, I see NtvTxan and Wizard of Oz went in 100% and Meebs went out 100% today. Hmmm, that means one thing.... this things got some legs yet!

It would appear we had a clucking today and now amoeba is frozen out of the market for the remainder of January - gosh that's 15 trading days of potential rewards. But hey, perhaps he's correct. It's his money and not mine.

I believe BT (not me) was first to say he was going to lighten position @ ^VIX<16 and it's <14. I came close to my (lowered) return target for this first month; we'll see what happens from now on. I suspect there will be much more on the fiscal cliff next round - wouldn't be surprised if the cap gains tax was revisited. I suspect sideways action....not much upside, and growing risk.

20%? (starting >$400K!). Take that and the estate tax, and there will be alot of early retirees who won't ever pay 20%.

I think yObama booboo'd on his revenue math on that one; good luck getting any more after the dem's voted for it; and good luck on even more spending cuts to make up the difference.

Yup, I'm sure glad I don't have an adjusted gross income greater than $450K - got lots of capital gains though that do not have to be harvested until ripe. I'm going to try and hold out on any selling until the VIX gets below the 10 level - this is primarily due to the early momentum that the market has delivered plus the Fed spending a QE4 of $85 billion a month until who knows when. Just staying with the current as we flow toward more new all time highs. Making money this year is going to be easy but it requires no fear.

Is VIX

But Birch, JTH, MJR, NASA, JamesE,

If you put everything you had into the NASDAQ 100 in January of 2000 you still haven't made it all back. Your still broke. You have lost like 50% or 100% of everything. A complete loss. But if you still had anything and if you put 100% of it into the 'C Fund' in September of 2007 and pulled 100% of it out in February 2009 you are broke again. Broke, broker, and brokerer

There is NO chance any of you buy and holders and traders and technicians and investor made any money. Look at the charts. I'll give you some funny date ranges that prove you can never make any money in the rigged stock market. And, who can figure out all that stuff about DCA and everything. The smart money has been out of the market since March of 2000!!!

Dead broke I say. Dead Broke
