    So get out on the 29th and buy in on the 1st?

    You can only do that if you've been in the market all month without having used your IFTs. Otherwise, you won't be able to buy back in until the 2nd (well, 2nd business day that is - since the 1st is obviously a holiday). I remember very well the pain of being out of IFTs and watching the rest of the world enjoy a 2% gain on the first trading day of this year.

    I plan on getting out the 29th and in the 30th, so I still have both IFT in January. But I still have both IFT for December.

    My plan is to get out around Christmas or just after, which is helping ease the voice in my head telling me not to be greedy. I almost IFTd out this morning but I'm sticking to the plan. hope I don't get slaughtered!

    In the last 3 months 12,200 Dow has proved to be a ceiling. Today we are comfortably hovering over that level. I like that!

    The tracker doesn't take into account individual contributions from payroll.

    ah yea thanks. i think that is playing a significant role in the calculation. since im pretty new to this and my account is small, my contributions are large compared to the total account size. so gains later in the year weigh heavier on earlier losses.

    Bought TZA yesterday right before the close. That should hedge my 100% S fund and then some for today

    I'm young so this may be common knowledge to most, haha. The main thing I took from him was his "trust no one" philosophy. Don't hold anything long-term if it doesn't have a dividend, keep your gold/silver physically with you..
