[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You CAN time the market on occasion. In this case, I was right. I exchanged funds out of I fund and placed them into G three weeks ago. I have not lost a cent as the market plummets.

We are officially in correction territory as of today. Down 10%.[b] You people really think we are going to sky rocket back up in the next week or two? No. I am going to hold G until there is “confirmable” and trustworthy progress on the world stage on oil and all that madness. Even then, we are due for a recession because of low employment, CPI and PPI and I might hold for 6 months.[/b]

All I see is a continued downtrend and I have been right so far. Maybe 1 month maybe six months or longer I will ultimately switch back into C or I or a combo of both. Obviously over time those are where money is made and CAGR and all that, but as of now, no fking way.

Those of us with money in retirement funds don’t need that money in the next 3 weeks or even a year. If you don’t like risk then just use a more low-risk method of investing. If you’re only a couple years from retirement then yes maybe it’s best to keep money in the G Fund.[/quote]

And that’s great. My entire point is I timed getting in to G at the perfect time. And now OBVIOUSLY BY READING THE NEWS ABOUT ALL THATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, and rhe inflation, the non-existent hiring numbers, oil prices rising and all the other macro issues bubbling up, is that we are gonna be on a downtrend for a while…

So yeah I’m retiring soon, but I still can enter back into C very easily now and at a much lower cost level and have more shares and then later those shares will be worth more.

My point is it is possible to use common sense and read mainstream news to get a clear picture and now and then time the market successfully. You just don’t like to hear that for some reason.[/quote]
