So you've personally done a thorough analysis of the USPS books and can say on your own that the agreement with Amazon is profitable? That's pretty impressive.

No, but I can say I've done a more thorough review of the information that's available than you.

You can also say that you lay golden eggs...and believe it too. Doesn't make it true.

I'm glad everyone got their vent out.

Can others post now?

Only if the post contains "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" or "I know you are but what am I?"

Just had to do it...

I'm not completely sold one way or the other...as I said, I tend to believe Amazon is getting the better end of the deal and overall the deal isn't profitable for USPS. Revenue doesn't equal profit and we don't have a full picture on what has to be spent to generate that revenue. I also don't expect to find an unbiased evaluation of the deal available for mass consumption. But just because I'm a contrarian, here are a couple links for you which I'm sure will be dissected and flamed in typical fashion.

Nice bounce today. Allocation changes are pretty split between G/F and equities. I'm watching for a higher high above 2650 now to see if this thing can turn around.

Where did you find the pretty split between G/F and equities? All I saw on the home page was 20% G on one pending allocation and everything else C, I, or S for April 3.

[XAMOTOMAX]

Click view all pending allocations and it shows 17% G, 25% F, 50% CSI and the rest split between L funds.

The market makes fools of almost everybody. None of us know what will happen and, yes, a broken clock is even right twice a day. I see all this talk about out smarting the market and avoiding downturns, but I rarely see anybody’s return on here that beat the C/I fund return last year. Because the dailies backed most of us into a corner with 6- 8% losses, some of us feel we have no other choice than to buy and hold at this point and hope for a recovery. The WORST thing at this point, IMO, would be to go to G and watch the market take off if earnings come in better than expected. I know it sucks taking a risk of further losses, but I think buy and hold for now makes the most sense.

Can you elaborate on your comment regarding 2650 and turning things around?

[jlozano042]

Hate to speak for XAMOTOMAX but I think he/she meant they are hoping for the S&P 500 to move higher (at 2650), close to where it bottomed out on Thur.
