Updated EOD, Thursday December 6. Two days down means sell. That is if you got anything left to sell.

On the Strength Chart the F fund is Top Dog now, I fund Low-man, C fund highest of stock funds, and the S just under it.

thanks Tommy! I followed you out of the market yesterday before noon, I chose to jump to the F fund not the G as you did (hints that rates may wait until january to rise, the Guru's move...). instead of dropping over 2% i picked up a small amount, .13 according to the google link or .35 according to this site's fantasy numbers.

You made the right move Mich. I considered the F fund, but was suffering a week moment. I was so disgusted with the driving conditions of the market, I decided to park my car in the G-arage.

Updated EOD, Friday December 7. It's been snowing, I saw some sleders. Lucky for them, they can see the bottom of the hill. Not so for this market.

F looks favorable according to the above chart for Dec 7 though, right?

Yes, but for how long, your guess is as good as mine.

Updated EOD, Monday December 10. The C fund made a little gain, but not the S. Pull’s downward momentum has increased.

On the Strength chart, the F fund continues up. And if you think about it, the F fund's performance is a reversed measurement of how the world is doing. :( And that's why everybody shuns the stupid thing, even when it's the strongest.

New Bill introduced impacting our retirement accounts...

Should have absolutely no impact on Tomanyiron's pull, one would think. Wish I knew what exactly was affecting the "pull", so I could plan accordingly...
