LOL ; OK and as long as that gravestone don't have my name on it they can call it what they want.. Short term ! well that's all I been trading for the last 3 weeks..taht I held an extra short overnight Thursday was my mistake, I've been just day trading and told myself a week ago , don't start holding overnight..to bad I didn't listen to me. ---- I do have a core long holding ( hfcgx ) but it's hedged right now with equal $ short on the SPY.. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=HFCGX&t=3m&l=off&z=m&q=l&p=e50,e20&a=fs,vm,r... I would dump it , except for a 90 < day 1.5% short term trading change, so I hedged it. I don't mind missing a little upside at this point , I see a chance of the market going higher, but risk is high to, and I may not be looking when she takes a dump. ---- I covered the QQQ on the 10:30 dip and got back short at 2pm.. I just don't think much of the divergence's I see.. RSI, MACD, and even the lows on the Stoch have been getting lower.. The Highs on the 18th of last month didn't suck the indicators up enough to suite me, & that's why I got out of RSIFX and hedged my other fund. --- I made a little on the down side, then played the oversold bounce but then missed this one..( maybe ) but up until Friday I've been on a roll with the short term stuff. -- I'm also still buying I-bonds..with my new money.. and only playing the stocks with old money. almost 1/2 of which is profits made since last OCT.. -- The I bond basic rate will go down next month, so this is likely the last month this year I'll buy them. I don't know what the CPI will do to the adjustable part , but my guess is it will tick up, if not this time very likely next time. Right now they are 4.66% ; not to bad for rather short term money considering other bond rates. ( note on I-bonds you must hold them 1 yr, if cashed before 5yrs you lose the last 3 months of interest, they are tax deferred for up to 30 ys..the rates adjust for inflation twice a year.) -- Some body may laugh at me being long bonds, But I am over 66 and can't stand the risk like some of the young pups.
