I've not been a big fan of this market for 2015, it looks like we'll close the year flat, I'll take a look at the weekly stats when I get home and see what June has to offer.

Statistically speaking June is a flat month, I'm not ready to sell this market, these choppy trading ranges have mostly drifted up, for the most part there hasn't been much conviction in either direction...

With SPX & W4500 already on a buy, the NASDAQ 100 flips back over to a buy, leaving the Tranny as lone bearish index.

I don't know about JTH, but I'm glad I gave up drinking in the morning.

This market is very perplexing. Just checked my TSP account and it's ~ the same as it was when I looked at it a few weeks ago. Contributions are being scarfed up in this sideways action. Can't tuck away into the F-Fund either. Time to break out the socks under the mattress.

Where did my wife hide the Bailey's lol

Hi friends, I'm still here, just bogged down in school, work, and family. My eldest daughter graduates this week from high school!

As for the markets, I've not been spending much time with them, no charting, or stat crunching, it just looks like more of the same to me, lots of teasing...

4 of these 5 have recently gone bearish, but some of those trading ranges are tight

Geaux,

I learned a while back to never ever look at my TSP balance after a down day. It's bad enough to see it on the charts or look at the percentage losses. It's like rubbing turpentine into an open wound. If you must look though, have the Baileys first!

One of your alter-ego accounts went into the S Fund yesterday, that was a good move. Must have been watching a little.

I discovered reinvesting in declining markets is expensive. They didn't say that on the E-Trade commercials! I moved from lame L income this week to lamer L2020, hoping this was a bottom put in today. No sell-off at the close was good. My bonds, well they sting.

Yea, that system ended May on the sidelines with no IFTs, so I had to attempt to get in under the monthly open and it worked out. This has been a tough year for me, which makes it hard to stay motivated, this increased workload has zapped what little mental energy I can muster. I'm spending maybe 10 minutes a day looking at charts and it just isn't enough for the time perspective I'm setup for. I'll have to figure out a way to get my head back in the game...

Not really a time for a little brain teaser then? I have Transports and AGG in Bear Flags. My theory is that Transports are following economic news and AGG interest news. So Transports will convert to a V bottom and AGG will continue down. Just my thought. Little longer term charts just for a little brain freeze buddy:

Both are staying bearish.
