Less emotional than what? Certainly not less than buy and hold. I don't get this emotion stuff.


If a TSP investor sets a plan, whether it's seasonal or buy and hold, and sets his or her mind to that plan, them there is no emotion involved.

I have been making trades for well over 10 years. I just don't like this market right now. Way to high and a long way to fall. Playing it close to the cuff. Mainly F. A little I. If C falls watch out.

It can only fall to 0... but it can go up indefinitely.
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

What constitutes "too high"? What is playing it "playing it close to the cuff"?

Typically July is a good month for C. :roll:

Yea, and bull markets are more fun than bear markets aren’t they? However there are cycles, and this is smacking of late cycle.
But I'm just thinking, and I like what Asiana said.

It always goes down. But wisdom tells us it always goes back up.

Good question...I only have one account. Do you have more than one?
