Thread: WorkFE's Account Talk

    Default Re: WorkFE's Account Talk

    Been sitting in G since getting my butt kicked in January. "Stayin Out" took some getting used to (mentally), but after 5 months, it doesn't bother me much any more. I'm cool with it, plus I still do "not so bad" in G. Better than nuthin..... LOL
    Even not doing much in my Fidelity Account, since every move I make in that account seems to be the wrong one. I'll just wait. I don't need the aggravation. I got other things to do....

    Just don't completely forget about it like some people do. Eventually the bear will be behind us and the G-fund will lag 8% inflation badly so you'd be losing money anyway.

    With these moves up-down, up-down, up-down it is easy to get complacent no matter where your allocations are at. Parked in the C,S,I and before you know it the markets are down 5%. Parked in the G for safety and because of a slow melt up you don't realize until the DOW is at 35,000.

    Oh, I agree with you both 100%.
    I keep tabs on the market every day just waiting for an overall trend change. Locked and Loaded, but also being cautious of getting caught up in a trap like I have in the past.
    I miss the big gains of a Bull Market, but I can sit in G-Fund and bank around $2,600.00 a month in perfect Safety with no risk......stress free.

    Not everyone is sitting on a Million Dollar + TSP pot but that certainly is a good feeling depending on your standard of living.

    For those hiding out in the G Fund, the rate creeped up to 3.125%

    I suppose the good news is that we should not hear from the FED again until Mid-September. Of course they reserve the right to meet at any time during extreme economic hardship.
    Futures are up at the moment, fingers crossed for an uneventful week.

    I'm for slightly positive but otherwise uneventful.
    May the force be with us.

    Yesterday was not exactly what I was hoping for.

    Maybe a bit of a bounce back day today. CPI released today and I believe Disney earnings come out.

    Couple Fed officials on the slate to speak today.
    Might provide some insight into Inflation and Rate Hikes.

    It's easy to get excited about the direction of the market, seriously, who doesn't like the last few weeks.

    While I certainly will continue to buy into my C, S and I positions, I must remind myself that we are still well off our highs. (DOW -2500, NASDAQ -3000 and S&P -450)
    Two ways to look at that. 1. Still plenty of room to the upside or 2. We still have a long way to go to declare victory.

    I don't have all my eggs in one basket, I've kind of spread it around since May. Sitting roughly 50% Cash, 15% C, 20% S and 15% I. The I fund is my focus right now. That could be a big winner in 6-12 months from now if World Geopolitics improve. Surely we cant continue high levels of tensions between US, Russia, China and Iran. NK is going to continue to be NK. But surely we can cool tensions with the other three.

    Anyway, futures down a bit this morning. Maybe a breather day before we figure out direction.
