Price Inertia

[StormVet]

Another investing strategy would be to strap a piece of toast to a cat's back, then toss it into the air. The key is to make sure the toast is buttered.

If the cat lands on its feet, stocks will continue up like normal. If the toast lands buttered side down, then bonds are in for a bull run. If the contraption just spins in midair due to opposing forces of natural law, then capitalize on the fact that you just invented an engine capable interstellar travel.

I'm writing this one down for future use.

Price inertia = momentum

Inertia’s meaning to me represents a motion that has resistance to change in speed and direction. Outside forces change it but the resistance does not allow fast changes. A big dip one day, but often a rebound the next. All the tops tend to look like long round hills. I almost called this the “Stay Calm System”. The bottoms get trickier, and when they rebound they do seem to defy inertia.

Anyway I did a word count on my post, I have used “momentum” 1,362 times. I thought I would try something else a while.

Aitrus and Tomanyiron are hilarious. Keep up the great work on all accounts. One thing I find especially alarming IMO, is that there are only 14,674 members on this site, and we already know that many haven't touched their accounts in years. With that number in mind, I've found this site to be the epicenter of resources and knowledge on wiser investment strategies for our TSP accounts. I don't have a figure, and I'm sure Tomanyiron or Aitrus would create a chart since they seem to like these things , but how many people in this world have a current TSP account and aren't part of his great site They are missing out significantly. Had I known about this site from the beginning, there is no doubt I'd have so many more $$$$$s after my name. Keep up the great work everyone

You know, I have been an active reader and participant here for years. I have learned a lot, but I am still not convinced that I have learned anything that will beat buy and hold.
