Excellent articles on when to buy and sell stocks

Post by cswift01 »

I think this works well with seasonality and with the TSP.

http://www.meta-formula.com/stocks-and-options.html (10AM rule)

http://www.investopedia.com/day-trading ... de-stocks/ (when to buy and sell stocks)

I think that this might be a good time to consider when to sell and buy.

Enjoy!

Oh and contrary to what I posted with the 10AM rule, I bought a bunch of stocks at 9:45 and thankfully made a couple of bucks in the process. I'm not meaning that I did a great job, just that this rule is not golden.

Thanks for those articles. For my ETF seasonal strategies, what I suggest is that on the day it's time to sell an ETF and buy a new ETF per the strategy, one might think about selling at 10 am Eastern time and (perhaps after a round of golf LOL) buy the next ETF at 3 pm. This is an advantage of rolling over to an IRA upon retirement since you'd then have the flexibility to choose buy and sell times and prices, something you can't do with the TSP. Of course those times are just long-term averages though, and it could take years and many trades before you profit from those tendencies.
