Dude, who'd have guessed that on Feb. 3, the F fund would already be up 2+%??? Crazy stuff. I'm still riding the fence between C & S like a loser.

Hey sensei. I have heard that the market will keep you on guard and guessing. That is exactly what it's doing. It is what it is or is it. I'm Loving the action on the I fund. It has been a dog for over a year and all of a sudden it seems it has turned around at the first of the year. I know it's not that simple,but that's what it appears to have happened. I'm gonna stand down and see where it goes. There has been some tremendous events happen in the past couple of years and the market has for the most part shrugged it off to get to all time highs. I don't know what people expect, but they have been put to sleep while the market advance on. I'm in to win. Hope your family is doing well and getting back to the norm.

I love you GUCHI, but I'll let you and Birchtree have the I-fund. P-U! Stinky! :toung:

Thanks for asking about the family. My wife is presently in the hospital, recovering from reconstructive surgery. All is very well. She is done with chemo, hopefully done with cancer, and just a couple days away from returning to a normal life. I just need to get through this week w/o her, then we'll be complete again!

Sounds like really good news Sensei. Best of luck.

I have been holding and buying the I fund for soooo long now it's no need to let it loose now. When I was working I was buying the hell outta the I fund waiting for it to do something. In doing so I have accumulated 1564 shares of it. I'm no longer buying due to retiring sooooo I'm siting on it waiting for the train to push up. Glad the wife is in recovery and on the mend. Cancer is a scary thing, hang tuff my friend. My prayers are with you and your family, keep on keep n on....

Still staying the course. 50C/50S. The herd is still in a fairly neutral allocation, tipped slightly in favor of stocks, but I think there's room to run before the market gets overbought. Will keep on keeping on.

Sensei,

Soooo...the Grand-Niece is following your advice ! She heads for Lima, Peru at the end of the month ! Check my post in my Member account thread !

THANKS for the write-up you shared with us ! She's definitely a "wanderer/vagabond" !!! Can't wait to read her reports from Lima !!!

Best wishes to you and Family !!!


Stoplight...

Not a bad week to be in stocks. Slow and steady gains. I'm still holding on to my 50C/50S position, but watching as both indices go up against the BBs while increasing the distance between price and the 20 day SMA. There might be a selling opportunity in the next couple weeks, but is it worth the risk to be out of the market? Last year, I seemed to get burned more often by missing gains than by catching losses.

Enjoy your weekend!

I haven't been following Ocean's List daily, as I used to. But every couple days I've been checking, and the herd had been neutral at about 45-47% G & F. I just noticed today that they are now only about 41% G & F. I can only speculate, but shifts of 3-5% probably mean a premium made a move. At any rate, the herd is getting more bullish, which is a signal to be on the lookout. Ideally, I'd like to finish out February in stocks to allow myself two moves in March. I've had good luck dodging downturns in March over the past three years. It's April that always seems to trip me up...

The herd is now allocated thusly: 56% CS&I, 39.5% G&F.

No longer neutral in my opinion. The scales have tipped to the bullish side, and we're starting to see what looks like a rounded top developing. If we were in the first week of March right now, I'd bail and look for a re-entry at a lower price. But we're still in February, so I'm going to stand pat. I'm going to look for a gap-up capitulation type day as a chance to take profits. If it doesn't come, well I can absorb the pain and buy all the way down.
