$VIX sell signal
by dcouch | 1 Comment
I am a little concerned about a well know sell signal. When the CBOE volatility index ($vix) closes below the Bolinger Band (set up) and then closes above the bottom of the Bolinger Band, the signal is triggered.
That signal was tripped today. My foray into the S fund may be a short trip.
Here is a chart with the signal and recent history.

This often marks at least a short term sell signal for stocks.
Hope to see strength challenge the June 11th highs to negate this signal, but if it starts to tank..... going to have to bail and look for a lower July entry point.

TSP_RATES for 26-Jun-2009 are wrong.
by rdjarman | 5 Comments
Under the "TSP Charts & Returns"...
all TSP_RATES for 26-Jun-2009 are wrong.
With the exception of the F-Fund and I-Fund which were marked as "+0.00%" return.
All funds we set at "+0.01%" return.
...Is this a test
And if so what do I win ?
This is a great site. Keep up the good work.
Later...

New Roth IRA rules.
by Shade1 | 0 Comments
Did anyone else read this article on the new Roth IRA rules?
http://finance.yahoo.com/focus-retirement/article/107222/Making-good-deal-retirement-even-better.html?mod=fidelity-readytoretire
If the TSP adds a Roth Fund, would there be a downside to moving your TSP funds into it other than having to pay the taxes on it?

After peaking above 954 the S&P is approaching 880
by dcouch | 3 Comments
From the extreme bullish sentiment peak on June 11th, the S&P is approaching my target of 880.
My daily chart shows it breaking below the 50 day moving average. It has been above that MA since the first of April. Might be a good entry point coming up or it may mean the counter-trend bounce is over.
There was hardly a break when the market exploded in March, so I only made some money later in the move.
If the selling does not accelerate down through S&P 870, then I'll have to take position this time in the C or S fund at these less expensive levels. Still expecting a move up into August-September.
