Thread: JTH's Account Talk

New to the forum but have been a reader for years. Love the technical info and all the talk. I was able to avoid most of the down turn on yesterday and today. Does anyone know a better ETF ticker to track the S fund? Would love to see longer chart patterns.

Taller: Yes, if you are going for more of a down turn in this market. Chart pattern is at a top on a few year pattern. On the 2000 down turn it was the place to be. On expert just an opinion

I don't know who John Roque is, but I read this article and it made me feel a little better that someone that knows what they are talking about seems to think things are going to be going up soon...

Long-term perspectives are a good way to keep from getting hyper-focused on the short-term drama. This is precisely why I like to look at the long-term 6-month charts. It may take 3-6 months to recover prices. I suppose I should have protected myself, but I've seen too many sucker bounces, I have a 6.33% edge on the S-Fund and I'd like to not lose that edge.

The fear in the air is so thick you can cut it with a knife - But at this point I somehow feel at peace, I dont know which way the short-term is going but I know I will recover my losses if I dont give in to fear.

So I say Happy Days are Here Again...Ive got my eye on a new solidbody electric guitar and going to for a test drive today - may spend a couple of thou to help boost the ecomony. Rock ON!

Details please, Fab...

Awesome way to look at things Fab. I think I will break out my Tele today or maybe the D18. Have fun.

- Not trying to hijack your thread JTH, question for birch but hoping for all opinions.
Why not "I" fund? I see they both have room to grow, but theres a big green "buy" in the I fund for YTD (and oversold RSI)...indicating "smart money" is buying it up, right? With our rating being downgraded, shouldnt world money move up on us a bit?
We all know by now im no economist, just asking questions to learn.

Ive been sitting F fund for months trying to dig out of a -2.5% hole. Undecided what move to make now....

I'm holding my I fund position until I get $22.50 a share and then I'll move 10% into the C fund. I only want to be in large caps in my tugboat (TSP).
